government has signaized ITSELF says an ex-
change by backward step in civilization. II has
restored disabilities which the barbarsm of the
middle ages imposed upon the Jews, and which
were only removed by the revolution of 1S46. The
Austrian government seems determined that no
benefit shall accrue TO any class OF its subjects
from that revolution. Hereafter the Jews in Aus
tria are forbidden to hold real estate in their own
name, but all property of that description to which
they lay claim must be registered in the name OF
Christians.

ton in the palace and these, with the others which
will be contributed for the trial. will make large
fire. This seems to be the only proper way TO

George Lava correspondent Of the Balt-
more Times Of November ~ says: I" The late ru-
mors about George Laws loss OF credit and failure
are all humbug. He has met with some severe
losses, but has paid every cent, and has million
or two to spare. He yields more power than any
man in the country. With two hundred thousand
musketS ana SIX OF seven OI tue uHeSt anu HeeteSt
ocean steamers by putting on board Of each
couple of thousand picked men, he could take
Cuba on his own account, if the government
would but permit il. A South American republic
would be but meal for him. If the government
gets into any difficulty with Spain about Cuba,
would il not be well TO give out contract to Mr.
Law the whole fight? He would do il well and
for nothing. The twenty-six millions Of money
need not be touched at all, nor would the acquisi-
tion of Cuba, by private individual, come within
the scope of our treaty stpuations. Carrying on
a war by contract would be decidedly economic
cal measure in comparison TO some of the nava
and other contracts which Uncle Sam is so par
tal 10.
