SOUTHERN BANNER: MARCH 19, 1S7S. Suffering in Palestine. Tin; Augusta Chronicle says: It is saul that the Jews in the Holy Land are reduced to a state border ing on starvation. Under the most favorable circumstances the Jews of Palestine can only mate a precarious living. Intense misery now exists in Jerusalem, Tiberias, Sated and other localities, owing to various causes, prominent among which is the drain which the war has made in money, men and provisions on every portion of the Ottoman dominions. The war has produced a stagnation of trade, and the long-continued drouth has raised the necessaries of life to famine prices. Turkish rule has res duced Palestine to a wretched condi tion. The Southern part of it is desolated by marauding bands of Arabs; there is no safety outside the towns; the valley of the Jordan is an uninhabited waste; many of the streams have dried up in consequence of the cutting down of the forests; most of the reservoirs constructed by Solomon and Hebrew kings have from neglect become useless, and this in a country which, without irrigation, becomes dry aud withers up. Sir Moses Montefiore has made an appeal to his fellow-countrymen in behalf of his suffering race in Palestine. Chris tian Governments should also use their influence with the Sultan to check the increasing depopulation and ruining of a land which ought to be dear to Christians and Hebrews, and even Moslems, from its sacred asso ciations. to uphold Turkey, in a policy which brought her into a war with Russia that has proved disastrous enough to satisfy the worst enemy of the former.

Gumbo beard and grew pale with fear, and immediately, with a spasmodic jerk, blew out the light and demanded to know : “Who am dat ar knockin’ at dis ’ere door?” when a dismal, sepulchral voice an swered: “The good angel of the Lord lias come to take poor Gumbo up to rest.” When tremblingly, with superstitious fear, believing that the good angel of the Lord was really standing at the door, ho an swers : “ I kno’s dat niggah Gumbo, but <lat ah niggah don’t lib lieah!

No journals in the world have been more prompt to point out and de nounce scenes of disorder and violence iju this country than those of England, but lias there fora long lime been anything like such an intrusion of mob rule in political questions here ns we have lately seen in England? We have not permitted the mob to become the supreme arbiters of wright or wrong, and to assail and and maltreat with impunity all who differ from them in opinion. Such a spectacle was witnessed in civilized England on Sunday, when the resi dence of Mr. Gladstone, one of the greatest living statesmen of England, and not long ago the popular idol of the British public, was mobbed be cause he has sought to avert selfish efforts to plunge England into a war for the most barbarous nation in Europe, and whose crimes against humanity and Christianity have not ceased for five hundred years. No man has done more than Mr. Glads stone for the extension of suffrage and the elevation of the working classes ; but to-day the very men whose condition he has always sought to improve riddle his windows with stones because he opposes the selfish interest that has prompted England the Passenger trains on the Georgia Railroad will run as follows, viz: Day Passenger Train wili Leave Athens at 9.00 a.m. Arrive at Augusta ut 4.00 p. si.
