The Last stroke of Fortune.

Twenty years ago, an old house was sui
standing IN Cologne, which showed to the
street frontage Of five small windows. 1t
was the house in hlch the first painter of
the Flemish school, the immortal Rubens,
was born, A. ID, 1871. Sixty years later
than this date, the ground floor was occu-
pied by two old people, shoemaker and his
wife. The upper story, which was usually
lei to dodgers, was empty at the time we
write or Two, however, occupied the gar
ret The evening was cold and wet, and
the shoemaker and his wife were sitting to-

the man to his wife, and see how the poor

The Jews.

The new Chancellor of the (English) Ex-
chequer, DIsraeli--" the wondrous boy
who wrote Alroy"-in his recent life OF
Lord George Bentinck, has many interest
ing statements and speculalions as to the
" children of Israel, of whom he is one.
In one place he remarks that "lhe allegation
that the dispersion of the Jewish race is a
penalty incurred for the commission of a
crucifclIon of Jesus Chrlst-is
neither historically true, nor dogmaIically
sound 1t is not historically true, because
the Jews we're as much dispersed through
out the world at the advent of our Lord as
they are at the present time, and had been
so tor many centuries before"
Again he says -" The Jews after all the
havoc and persecution they have experience
ed, are probably more numerous at this
date, than they were during the reign Of
Solomon the wise; are found in all lands,
and, unfortunately, prosper in most. All
which proves that 1t is vain Tor man to at
tempt to battle the memorable laws OF nature,
which has decreed that superior race shall
never be destroyed or absorbed by an inie-
nor"
Again: "lf the reader throws his eye
over the Provisional Government of Germa-
ny, of Italy, and even of France, formed in
ls4S, he will recognize, everywhere, the
Jewish element. Mazzani, who accom-
pllshed the instruction, is Jew, who
PROCESSES the whole of the Jewish religion
and believes in Calvary as well as Sinai. He
is what the Lombards call converted Jew.
Frederick Cent?, Secretary of the Congress
of Vienna, was a child of Israel. Several
millions of the Jewish RAGE persist in be-
leving part only of their feligion There
is one fact which none can contest. Chris
tians may continue 10 prosecute Jews, and

democratic organ) not only admits the ex-
istence of this society, but also, that he is.
himself member of it. and that ii has been
in existence for many years 1t is also al
lodged that it has branches all over the State
of Ohio.
1t was for attempting TO speak in public
against the existence Of such secret socie-
ties and their despotc rule over the rank
and file Of the party, that Mr. Reemen was
mobbed.
Well, we certainly must say, that in pull
ing up some of their rotten flooring, there
was discovered a rather singular and extern
slye nest OF rats upon the premises of the
democrats of Hamilton We should Judge
that secret society, two hundred strong
and all bound by oath TO turn out and work
together in controlling the democratic party
Of Hamilton county, with the mass of the
apalhetic quietly at home, should be rather
sure of its end. We always thought there
was something queer in the management of
the democratic machinery in that section,
and marveled greatly how the editor of the

State, we should think the democrotic out
81 icrs must have to feast on lar-of vision
of official Ioaves and fishes. We doubt very
much if there are seats for them, even at
" the second table"
The democratic party is unfortunate IN
these matters. Ia New York, the Tam
many Society, Mike Walsh's Subterra-
means, Rynder's Club, or the Aristocratc

RATHER Too PoIITE.-Aluch amused
yesterday at a conversation we overheard IA
a popular restaurant. There were three,
one Wing and two democrats, at table. -
The wing was me of the politest men we
ever encountered, we should say, rather 10
polite. " You don't mean TO say Pierce is a
coward" was an indignant lnierrogatory to
the wing
" No Stree !" was the prompt response
a" all | mean to say is, that he tainted and
got sick Just at the wrong time-just before
the fighting come on;-and got well devil
hsh quick, the moment the fighting was
done aud mean to say, that the falnung

no chance at the speculation. A man has
right to get sick ! have been sick myself,
but always got well IN time 10 report my

fourapple trees set five years ago, when
three years from the bud. The soil was
of quite moderate fertility. Their pre-
sent circumference, one loot from the
