going into detailed analysis Of the fool
ish and false screeching OF the Chronicle
Telegraph. What We have said is rather
for that papers correction than for the
in formation of any man, South or North
who really knows anything about the Sou
tbern trade.
As to OVERRIDING the crude iron trade VIC
have deprecated that rs heartily as the
Pittsburg editor can. The South, hon.
ever, is no more responsible for this than
are the iron masters of Ohio and PENN
sylyania, and for that matter in this free
country, any man or company Of men may
maks pig iron without danger OF indict-
ment; and the South will go on making it
regardless of objections from those who
seem to think they should have monop-
oily of the business.
We are told the South has no consump-
tive field ssto sell her iron to. What folly
aad lyingl The bulk of the Southern field
is as near the whole great central North
aud Northwest as are the MahoAinS and
Shenango valleys and nearer much ofthose
fields than is any part Of the Pennsylvania
i,ituminous district True, we have not
sufficiently diversified into steel and I'm
ished materials; but when the South does
that-and she will do it-~she will be a. deal
more troublesome competitor than she il
now.
The pittshurg editors ought to keep
t,eir tcmpers and cease from bearing
false witness on Il subject 20 heavy, pal
pablo, real as the Southern iron trade.

Jewish Vacations.

OF the Jewish vacations there are,
first, the Sabbatical institutions of the
Old Testament, viz, the weekly Sab
bath, the seventh new moon or Feast Of
trumpets, the Sabbatical year and the
year of jubilee. Besides these there
were the great feasts, Passover, Pente-
cost and Tabernacles, together with the
two of later times-Purim and that of
the Dedication. The time spent in these
observances required frequent and in
some cases protracted suspension of la
Dor.
To the Jews living in the remote dis
tricts Of Palestine, particularly the pill
grimages to and from Jerusalem, to-
gether with the time spent in the actual
celebration of the feasts, which in the
case of the Passover and Tabernacles
was each eight days, meant an amount
Of migratory recreation and rest from
the ordinary occupations of life year by
year greater proportionately than that
obtained in the vacation of these days.
