FRITAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 9.
The Jews of Jerusalem.?The Talmud
ic and RabbiDic Jews of Eastern Europe
have a longing for the land of their fathers,
of which the Israelites of Western Europe
and of America know almost nothing.
Trained in the traditions of centuries, they
believe that God is especially present in the
Holy Land ; that the Jew who dies within
the sacred borders goes directly to heaven
while those of other land? mnst first pass
through the purgatory of Gehinnom. The
Slessian will first appear in Palestine, and
the dead of that country shall rise first, and
only they will receive again the spiritual
bidy that was lost in Adam's fall. Sach
faith and hope, augmented also by the per?
secution of their people in Russia, Rou
melia and elsewhere, have driven thousands
and thousands of Abraham's children to Je?
rusalem, there to end their days aDd be in
t-rred in the sacred eoi!. The result of
these causes is, that at no time since the
expulsion of the Jews from Palestine by the
Emperior Hadrian, 130-140 A. D., has the
number of the people in Jerusalem been as
large as it is now. For many decades no
Jew was allowed to set bis foot on the sac
cred soil. Benjamin, of Tudela, in 1170 re?
ports ooly two hundred Jewi-h familie.? in
Jerusalem, fifty in Tiberia-, thirty in Ramie.
In 1525 there were three hundred families
in Jerusalem, ten in Hebron, three hundred
in Saphed. Only in the present century
has the immigration increased to a notable
extent. In 1S5S there wer*- s:x thousand
Jew? in Jerusalem, and at present fourteen
thousand?about one-half of ail the inhab
Hants of the city.
Especially to Women.
"Sweet is revenge, especially to women,"
said the gifted, but naughty, Lord Byron.
Surely be was in bad humor v. hc-n he wrote
such words. But there are complaint-j that
only women suffer, that are carrying num?
bers of them down to early graves. There
is hope for those who suffer, no mattr-r
how sorely, or severely, in Dr. R. V.
Pierce's "Favorite Prescription." Safe in
its action it is a blessing, especially to women
and to men, too, for when women suffer the
hou.-ehold is askew.

The Gazette is now the oldest paper ic
the State, and with few exceptions the old?
est in the country, and its usefulness has
been demonstrated and appreciated curing
the eighty-seven YEAR3 of its existence. I;
its columns has always been found a mirror
of passing events, and the careful chroni?
cling of the history of what is going en in
world has ever been its aim. It :
welcomed id the household, while it tbi
counting room and workshop it has beo i
invaluable.
The Gazette has better facilities tcr
taining news than any paper outside o:
national capita!, Situated as it is so close
to the great centre of new.-, it enjoy- lath
the benefit of the Associated Press die
patches from every part of the world ; hence
its patrons can read from its columns in ;Lt
evening what has transpired that day ii
every portion of our own domain as well s?
from every part of the habitable globe.
Consequently it is an every day occurrence
for the Gazette to publish telegrams
the various European capitals twelv.
fifteen hours earlier than the mornir.^
pers.
Another feature that serves to make tl
Gazette a great desideratum with in-.:
chants is its afternoon market report- fron
New York, Baltimore, Chicago and othei
centres.
The local department furnishes a full and
complete history of everything that occur
n and near the city, and this feature will
as ever, receive careful attention.
Correspondence from Washington, Rich
mond and every section of theState, i.- pub?
lished regularly, and all events of iulere-:
occurring within the bounds of the Com?
monwealth are to be found in the column
of the Gazette.
The Gazette's circulation is steadily ii
creasing, especially among people who con
suit its advertising columns before pureba
ine. That this is self-evident may be infer?
red from the fact that a largo country edi?
tion?nearly as large as the daily?is seut
all over this section of country three time
a week, and is read by thousand*, most of
whom send here or to contiguous cities to
make purchases. The advantages ot ad?
vertising in the Gazette are, therefore, ap
darent.
