The Agricultural Movement in Pal
esttne.

The Presbyterian gives an account Of this
matter, which we briefly eondense. Some years
ago, few Americans established an agrieultu.
raj colony near Jerusalem. The Jews in Pal.
esline having no other means Of living than the
charities Of Jews abroad, which we're withheld
on the first indication Of their being favorable
to Christianity, were not accessible to Christian
influence. This agricultural plan was formed
in hope Of opening the door Of access to them.
In connection with Mr. MeshuIlam, convert
ed Jew. and member Of the Episcopal church,
they formed little agricultural school and col
ony at Artas. The English mission at Jerusa-
lem ridcules the project as visionary, because
the Talmud forbade the Jews to cultivate the
soil. But the plan succeeded. Applications
Of Jews to become connected with it we're more
numerous than could be complied with. The
Rabbis even gave their sanction to it, and the
valley of Artas was converted to Paradise.
When this success had been achieved the
Episcopal mission engaged in a course Of meas
ures to engage Meshullam in their service
He long resisted their lattering offers, but at
length yielded. Then the American colony
selected a new location, with which Meshullam's
son is to be connected. And the prospect is,
that the movement, thus begun, is to have a
wide extension. The English Episcopalians,
though their beginnings have been so discred-
liable, will bring into the work large means
and the two colonies will probably effect much
more than the one would have done. The
Jews in Germany, England and America, are
becoming deeply interested in the restoration of
Palestine. The soil requires only cultivation
to make it highly productive A new spirit
has been infused into the down trodden Jews
Of Jerusalem, and they regard Americans as
heir best friends. The Arabs too regard the
with great favor.

EETwenty-fve perverse fellows bolted from

what makes their conduct more dsgracefu is
the fact that several of them belonged to cler.

A Cute Trick.

The Hollidaysbsrg (Pa.) Standard gives the
particulars Of skilful operation by roguish
finaHcier. A man representing himself to be
Charles P. Green, agent of the indianapolis
and Terra Haute railroad company. engaged
ten men in New York and four in Philadelphia
TO work upon that road, to fill the stations Of
engineers, frsmen, conductors, &c. He made
full bargains with each, agreeing TO pay the
best prices, and conducted everything i'll busi-
ness-like style. From Philadelphia to Pitts
burg he paid their fares, entering the amount
against each one in the pass book. In this
way he gained their confidence. In Pittsburg
he secures passages to Cincinnati. He then
made proposal to get their money exchanged
for Indiana money, representing that the differ
ence in exchange would amount TO enough to
by a new hat. The fourteen men agreed aRd
turned over about nine hundred dollars for
Green TO exchange. The bogus agent de-
camped, and the men, after waiting until they
were satisfied he would not return, acknowl-
edged that it was one of the cutest swindles of
the times, and agreed to say nothing about it,
slough the facts subsequently, leaked out.

IT ALTERS THE CASE. The assessor of
taxes, in his official capacity, called on GER
tain landholder half way between St. Paul
and St. Anthony the other day, and COM
menced valuation of the estate.
'Mr. D., what value do you hold your es-
tate at q
wy, sare, hold de mos valeble estet in de
territoire. hab fine prairie, good waterer,
and acres tree hundreds. 1t is worth one
hundred dollars each acre. hab refused tree
tousand dollars
'Very well, Mr.. d., | will assess your es-
tate, three hundred acres, at one hundred dol
lars an acre.
Whereupon the assessor mounted horse,
and went on to the next house.
The sequel, so far as heard from, is that the
imprudent d. has for three days been racing
his Indian pony between the lawyer and the
assessor, to get an abatement Of the appraisal
from one hundred dollars to five dollars, which
in his humility he is ready to swear is the
true value.-Mnnesota Pioneer. 1[ n.

A PRAcTIcAL SELL. There is story
current of nephew Of Washington Irving,
who while recently amusing himself in boat
on the North River, was angrily ordered by
five Germans, who mistook him for ferryman,
to ROW them DER the ferry. In addition to
the order he received round scolding for not
being at his post, and causing them to miss
the cars. Saying nothing, he meekly carried
them across. charging the unfortunate Teutons
two shillngs head, and at once returned
The Germans waited two or three hours, but
in vain, for train, and finally found the real
ferryman, who informed them that they had
been 'sold'-that no train was due, but that,
for a shilling a head he would take them all
back to their starting-place, where they could
pass the night. With heavy laugh they ac-
cepted his offer, resolving that the next time
they would find out who they were talking
to, ere they blew gentleman up for not wal
ting on them.

it is known that he has been stricken by a

CHAIR-TILTING AND FEET-RAIsING.-O all
eccentric spectacles, that of the row Of boot
soles SO conspicuously displayed on the front
railing of our fashionable hotels is certainly
the most singular. Will some philosopher be
kind enough to analyz the atmosphere, and
tell us what he finds in it which makes this up
fitting of chairs and elevation of feet-so very
gratifying to our Longing gentlemen! Graf
flying it must be, for did not Yankee poet
sing of old, that, There's not in this wide
world pleasure so sweet, AS to sit at the
winder and tilt up your feet Pull away at the
Cuba, whose flavor just suits, And gaze at the
girls 'twixt the toes Of your boots" We have
heard that predisposition explained by the as
sertiOn that as the American runs around and
about on business more than any other person,
he naturally becomes cOrrespOndingly tired,
and requires extra repose, bot the soundness of
this idea is vitiated by the fact that il is the Ia
ziest men who stick their feet up the most.
Until better theory is started, we shall be-
lieve that this feet-raising is prompted by an
innocent vanity to display fine boots, since an
observing friend assures US that the habit has
greatly gained ground since the introduction of
pa tent feathers.

The love Of ruling, and the love of accumu-
lating are the two furies that torment mankind
beyond all others. They are especially the
evils of the religious world, and more deadly

pleasure which distinguishes the irreligious.-
Z rom the latter evil, reformation may be ex-
Pe''eu ont from the former evils, when they

to conceal the love Of rule under nrefeoces 70
humility and to infest the love of gain in the
decent garb of industry, prudence. and econo.

CAUSES OF THE Scarcity OF SILvER.-This
of every one who rides in an omnibus, or buys
his sugar by the pound. Mr.. ID Israeli appears
10 nave MI upon The causes of the scarcity,
which he declares to be the following = First,
while the annual production Of gold has quad
rupled, the yield of the silver mines has re-
NAMED stationary and as the influx of gold
has given an immense expansion TO business of
all kinds, and increased the demand for every
commodity, silver, being no more plentiful
now than formerly, has become propor.onaly
scarce. Secondly, in Holland, and other En-
ropean states, silver is the standard of value
and hence the excess Of expectation 10 those
countries over the importation from them has
to be paid for in silver coin. Thirdly, and
chiefly, in India gold coin is not known among
the natives from which the commodities Of com
merce are purchased, nor is gold in that coun-
try legal tender and as the excess of Indian
expectation over importation is exceedingly
great, there is an enormous drain Of silver from
Europe and America, to pay for the excess
In the year 1852, England alone sent fifteen
millions Of dollars in silver to India. Mr..
D1sraeli proposes, as a remedy TO the grow
ing scarcity of silver, that gold be made the
standard of value, and legal tender, through
out the British possessions in the oriental
world. That done, perhaps it will not be nee
essary for store-keepers to ladle out three cent
pieces, when small sum is TO be subtracted
from five dollar bill and one may ride down
town without being horror-stricken at the dis
covery that he has no sixpence. Both are con
summations dovoutly TO be wished

SERVED HIM Alright. One evening last
week, couple of young ladies walking on one
Of our most public streets, were insulted by a
young rowdy who didn't count the cost. He
pSrposely ran with full force against the la
dies-when one of them seized him by the col
lar, smashed his hat down over his eyes, drove
his cigar into his mouth, and passed on amid
the applause Of the bystanders, among whom
were many chums Of the crest-faIIen hero. He
couldn't stand the laugh, and dared his Tartar
back again-upon which she instantly turned
towards him-but before she could clutch him
again, he was off at his best pace.
Now, although it may not be advisable for
all of the gentler sex to possess and exhibit
such Pugilistic courage, yet it is pity more
such puppies are not brought up standing'-
There are not few, calling themselves young
gentlemen, among whom such an exploit as
this is the boast of an evening-minus the
