sarv Instructions from Rabbi Liliianthal.
She made the formal declaration on re-
cent Sunday that neither persuasion of any
kind nor selfish motives induced the step.
The ceremony incident to the profe ssion
of the faith was in strict accordance with
the orthodox Hebrew ritual, and was per
formed in the presence of three prominent
Hebrew ladies of the city. There were also
three Judges, known in Hebrew as the ban
din, who examined the youthful candi-
date. The most singu part of the affair
is that Miss Galloway has left her parents.
1t being necessary for her to assume new
name, she took that of Rebecca, the daugh-
ter of Zahuda, which is Rabbi LillianthaPs
Hebrew name. She will be known as Re
becca Lillianthal, having recognized Mr..
Lillianthal as her father, and she now lives
at his house. She declares that her strong
convictions led her to embrace the ''old
faith" which has bound together the peo-
pie with whom she has cast her lot for
many centuries in all parts of the world.
She is a handsome girl, very intelligent,
and we'll known in society.
THE tomb of the slain president at
Cleveland, is sedulously and properly
guarded TO preserve it from Dissertation.
Were it not so, body-snatchsrs, the ghouls
of the cemetery, would rob the grave of its
moldering. vet precious dust, and hold the
remains for large ransom. The Cincin
rau Commercial Gazette gives the follow
ing interesting details of the process Of
guarding the tomb, coupled with criti-
cism hardly kind or justifable. That
journal says: "Sen5ries with guns+patrol
the tomb of General Garfield, day and
night, relieved at intervals with all the
military forms and under the command of
officers of the guard. Their orders are to
guard the body, and there must be an Off
cial verifcation that they have done their
duty, and that each officer of the guard has
received that which he IS 10 guard. To
verify this, whenever the officers OF the
guard are changed they open the coffin,
identify the corpse and exchange receipts
for it. Thus have we put the body OF the
slain president into daily morgue, and
continuous post mortem examination,
violating all the sanctity of the grave, and
forcing the soldiers into this repulsive duty
in the name of honoring and guarding the
remains. The tomb is violated to protect
it from violation" No right-minded per-
son can sympathize with this querulous
criticism. Too much care cannot be given
to secure the grave of the martyr from
violation, till the precious remains
can be forever placed beyond the reach of
possible dissertation in the secure crypt,
to be provided in the sepulchral monu-
ment yet to be erected in honor of the
slain president.
The Presbyterian: We have had of late
served to us in the wit columns of the
secular press the antics in prayer of sew
eral chaplains of legislatures; certainly
the things prayed for we're homogeneous
enough to provoke public mirth. They
were decided hits at immense evils; but
who suffers most, the politicians and their
practices or the cause of religion through
its ordained representatives.? Smartness
in hits is not generally conceded to be a
qualification of the ministerial Office,
though it has been nearly the whole furni-
ture of some preachers of the last few
years If the theory had been adopted as
a doctrine of the church that man is an
animal reared on his hind legs, then We
might look for some inspired monkeys;
but as the church has made no deliver
Il - 10 ,II
prevails that man Is made in
the image Of God, it would be
better for ministers in every station to
conduct themselves with some reference to
their divine origin, and especially their
calling. Nothing can be gained but the
contempt of the men rebuked, and great
humiliation to the friends of religion, be-
besides unspee kable dishonor to God, in
the fashion of chaplains using the throne
of God to show up political rascality. 1t
is a cowardly thing to attack men with
ones eyes shut and face upllfted to heaven,
and at time when the worst of men
would think it sacrilegious to reply. 1t
would be more consonant with Christian
intuitions to gather up legislative sins in
one, and ask God to forgive them as sins,
than to describe and emphasize them into
a huge joke, to be laid on the mercy seat
amid responsive filters from the hearers.
TIE people Of this generation are Excess
sive meat eaters, aud to this fact is I'M
doubtedly due numerous diseases, sick
nesses and deaths. There is always more
or less danger of eating diseased meat. Of
course animals are subject to diseases,
sicknesses and physical impurities like the
human, not always, or generally known to
the purveyor of meats; and these dis
eases are communicated to the eaters
of meats There are many who contend
that meat is not necessary for either health
or strength, and there are many, too, who
will not eat beef or pork for fear of eating
diseased meat. That mankind have be-
come too carniverous, to say the least of 1t,
is an undoubted fact. This is sub
jet worthy of careful consid-
Grafton, and greater absti-
nence from the use of flesh meats would,
doubtless, result in increased health and
