Coast Liu has made more connections
for the ijast twelve months, than either of
the other routes carrying the fast through
mails to1 New Orleans. The route from
Washington city to New Orleans, is a
little longer by the Coast Line, but pas-
by this route would reach New
as soon as by:the other. It is an
old established iiuc aud Us tracks and ap
pointments can not ' be beaten in the

of the inc is that it can show a cleaner

of the ' other routes to the South.

But. few. even of the educated portion
of the Curst ian world, can lay just claims
oa knowlcbgc of what is taught in
ho Talmud. The significance of the
word itself is to most men hidden
iuowledgc. All that Christians can
pretend to I know of the wonderful
and fearful teachings contained in the
Talmud, is derived from reading of the
Five' Books of Moses. Beyond this
nothing is known.
An opportunity will be offered to the
citizens of Wilminton, on .Wednesday and
Thursday evenings, at the Opera House,
to listen to a distinguished scholar and
teacher in this most interesting and ob
strusc subject, its ethics and literary beau
