Its Observance in the CITY.

The day was generally observed through
out the city. Main streetlooked like Sunday,
and IN many other streets, Beaie es-
pecially, places which are teeming with life
on other days were closed. The old manner
of observing the day was much more rig
orous than that of the present time. The
Israelites of Memphis are exceedingly pro-
gressive, and under the teaching Of Rabbi
Samfield are daily growing more liberal
in their views. 1t was formerly the GUS
tom to fast the entire twenty-four hours
and to attend services in the Temple from
sunrise to shutdown. Yesterday compare
lively few tasted the entire day, and an
equally small number remained from the
opening TO the close of services,
though they were not begun until
10 o'clock. The tendency is to gradually
shorten the time of worship by opening
the tabernacle later and later each year.
The temple remained open until &
o'clock, there being no cessation of services
during that time. The programme was
principally musical, with scripture read
ings, prayer and lectures by the rabbi.
A few OF the congregation remained from
the opening to the close, but the majority
came and went, remaining from one to
two hours.
