TIE FEAST OF PURIM.-The Hebrew
feast of Purim occurs on Sunday. 1t is
based on the Book of Esther, and COM
memorates the escape of the Jews from
the Vaccinations of Baman, who had
planned the destruction of all Jews
within the domains of King Ahasuerus.
Esther, who had become the wife Of
the king, won him over in favor of her
people, and Haman and his sons were
hanged on the gallows he had prepared
for Mordecai, who had refused to do
him reverence when he WAS the kings
prime minister. Upon the death of
Haman, Mordecai was honored by the
king. AS the Jews had vanqished their
enemies, and as the day decreed for
their execution, instead of one Of
sorrow, was turned to joy, it was order
ed that they should observe the four
teenth and fifteenth days of Adar as
the days wherein the Jews rested from
their enemies, and the month which
was turned unto them from sorrow to
Joy, and from mourning into a good
day; that they should mako them days
of feasting and joy, and of sending por-
tions one to another, and gifts to the
poor. The feast is one ofrejoicing, and
it is an occasion for masquerade par
ties among the young and other forms
of amusement and entertainment.

The DANGER OvER.-About $50
o'clock yesterday the ice gorge at Port
Deposit broke, and great masses of ice
swept down the Susquehanna into the
bay. Danger at Port Deposit and
Havre de Grace is about over. but the
damage done has been considerable.
At Port Deposit the water rose rs high
in the town as it did in 1856. The
single street of the place was left filled
with broken ice five feet deep. The
track of the Columbia and Port DEPOSIT
Railroad was covered with ice and il
will be several days before the obstruc-
ton to traffic is removed.
The water in the Potomac river at
Williamsport, which has risen to IS
feet above normal, had greatly subsid
ed, aud yesterday afternoon it was not
more than 4 feet above normal. The
river from Cumberland to Harper's
Ferry is now free Of ice and all
danger is past.

anybody who does break mirror is

however, that all these efforts to over

pose inasmuch as ill.luck cannot be in

necessary to its success. An even more
element to be removed is the pride and
pleasure some people take in their

During the present revival of interest

During the present revival of interest
in Napoleon there has been some con-
fusion as to the use of the names of the
great emperor. Many people believe
that Bonaparte or Buonaparte are used
INTERCHANGEABLE, or according to pre-
ference, and that either OF these forms,
or simply Napoleon, is proper to apply
to him at any period of his career.
Professor William NJ. Sloane, around
whose history of Napoleon in The Cen
tury is crystallizing much of the general
interest in the Corsican, gives logical
rule that has guided him in the use OF
the various forms of the name. He
called his work the "Life of Napoleon
Bonaparte," as this was the name
finally chosed by the man himself.

this is free and equal country, there
is only one, reasonable, way by which
such differences as those referred to
can be settled, because each party has
the right to do what it pleases him to
do with what belongs to him, the work

with his money, and rs long as that
right shall remain, differences between
