The undertakers in Macon, Ga., are catting rates, and a lively war between them is going on. The city sexton, who is also an undertaker, recently re cced the price of carriage hire from y to $2, and the rest are expected to follow suit. A novelty in adverting is found on the Korth Italy Railway. There is a pocket to every ticket; and, searching within, the passenger linds advertise meats of hotels., shops and the like along llie route. The company thus makes 24 on every 10,000 tickets. . The recent fall in the price of bar sil rer in London is for good reason at tracting wide attention in financial circles. The decline has been steady, and the price is now 47 . pence per ounce, on which basis the bullion yalue of the standard dollar is equal to about 80 cents. Lient.

Sach a set of signals, if reliable, would prove of the greatest value in the West and South, and the expense ought not to be large. A cable special to the 'New York Herald says: "Without undue op timism, it is now permissible to hope that the cholera is in a fair way of dis appearing, not only from Spain, but also from the two infected French sea ports.

Mr. Shepherd planted one acre in tobacco this year as an experiment, and is very much gratified at the success which has at tended his efforts thus far. and he will probably increase the area of tobacco culture on his place next year. Yom Kippur. The next Jewish festival, that of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, which begins at sunset to-morrow and ends at the game hour on Saturday, teaches that he who has fallen may stand erect and straight after be has risen again ; the sinner may return to the path of righteousness and be pious; he who deserts the straight path and chooses crooked by-ways may return to the level path and walk in it ; pride, vanity, haughtiness, sinfulness and wickedness will not harden the immuta ble Diety, but blight souls and lead to forgetfulncs3 of duties ; God punishes for the sake of correction. Yom Kip pur is a day to be devoted entirely to making atonement before God for sins ; to sanctify and elevate moral natures to God, and to t?e reminded ot the ever lasting Sabbath in the world of spirits ; to declare the dominion of the spirit over the body, by abstaining from all earthly enjoyment, and lettiiig the mind be occupied exclusively with holy thought, which is the true Sabbath of the soul.
