Famine among the Jews.

The failure Of the harvests in the Holy
Land, which has rai~fEshe prices of food
to an enormous hight, added to the effects
produced by the war and POLITICAL distur-
Dances, has caused famine among the
Jews OF most affective character. Sir
Moses Montefiore, an eminent Hebrew of
London, lately returned from visit to the
Holy Land, has published an appeal in be-
half of the sufferers, in which he says:
learn that "fathers in Israel-men
profoundly learned in the law, who so thst
they may die near the graves of our FORE
fathers, submit to live in the most abiect
poverty-are now impelled, by the very
love they bear their children, to sell them
to the stranger, $50, to use their own
words, that their offspring may be spared
death--death from starvation"
The Hebrews of Jerusalem have also
issued an appeal to the Congregations
of Great Britain and America" The fol-
lowing are extracts:
Brethren of the house of Israel, who,
sojourn in happy England and America,
arouse yourselves and save from annihila-
ton the remnant of the faithful watchers
ofZion and Jerusalem.
We lack the power to give even faint
idea of the misery we are enduring; every
heart has become sick-every tongue
stricken dumb
Behold, we are utterly prostrated- both
in mind and in body, incompetent to pro-
claim the severity of the visitation that is
consuming US.
Starvation and pestilence walk hand in
hand, and the wall of the poor, the widow
and the orphan is borne on the air. 1t is
difficult to say whose sufferings are the
greater, the miseries of those born under
the sun of Judea, or of the holy pilgrims
from distant lands. All classes of society,
all grades aud conditions, have become
united in the brotherhood of woe: heads of
synagogues and their pious servitors,
learned rabbis and their scholars, mix in
the crowd to supplicate and beg mouldy
crust. Even that assistance which has
hitherto reached us from our brethren in
the Russian and Turkish dominlons, is now
in consequence of war, cut off,

The Home Journal, the oracle in mat
ters Of etiquette and kindred subjects
says:
1t does not seem to be generally ur-
derstood. that the black bearn is the least

New Show.

A very small press came to town the
other day, and it took our citizens right
down. We intend getting show of some
kind to attract the attention of the very
curious. and stick New York prices on it,
and all will be right. The smallness Of
the press may excite the excitable; but
we say. with big press and more printing
material than any travelling printing Office
can carry, cards, circulars labels, and ev-
cry other kind of printing, will be done at
the Pioneer Office as cheap and as neat as
at any other place in this town. Bring
along your work. The young men who
have the small travelling press, we believe.

The Law of 1854 ana the Nebraska.

The Law OF 1854 ana the NeOrask0.
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Times writes to that journal as
follows:
As l have already intimated, the law Of
1884, excluding foreigners from the In
dian Territory of Nebraska, except they
have passports form the War Department.,
is not manned By the Nebraska Bill, but is
essentially defunct, becaue it is |'localy
inapplicable, the Nebrask Bill having
opened the Territory to settlement, and
provided for the extension over it only of
such laws of the United States as are .'not
locally inapplcable." To show that this
view is correct, | have only to remark that
if the view ascribed to Col Benton is COR
rect, nobody whoever can go into Nebraska
or Kansas at all, except he be an Indian,
a Government Agent, or licensed trader.
or passported foreigner, because the old
law porhibiting all others from going into
the Territories, is no more repeald than
the law prohibiting foreigners, and is just
exactly as "locally applicable" But the
whole spirit and tenor of the bill looks to
the settlement of the Territories; and there
is nothing in any existing general or spe-
cial legislation which can, even by implica
ton, make any distinction in the admission
of aliens and citizens.

Cuba--Possibiy Humbus

The New York Times has letter from
Jackson, Miss, which says that General
Quitman and staff are in New Orleans,
that they have all the forces enlisted
which they deem to be necessary; that
two ships with arms and ammunition have
been for some time in the Gulf, and that
100000 have been obtained; that many
merchants and wealthy men in New Or
leans, who have hitherto held alolf, now
favor the enterprise, and will giveit their
support. The writer adds:
1t had been decided, says man who
came up from New Orleans this morning,
to do nothing until ST. 100000 had been
procured, and that Gen. Quitman and an
other man had about concluded to mortga
ge their estates, to make up the sum i'm
mediatly. Soule has exceeded his instruc-
tions, no Doubt is thought by agree
ment, in order in some way to turtle the
plan.- Gin. EnQ.

are already elements Of decay at work,
to which, in conclusion, we call attention:
1st. When The necessity for increasing
the population of Utah passes away, the
zeal for proselytism which it has bred
must burn less warmly.
Cd. The agglomeration of the sect up
on single spot, which, up to certain
point, as in Missouri aud Illinois, gives
strength and Capitalization, contains also
an element of weakness.
Sd. The theoratic mode of government
cannot obtain in this country permanent.
ly. The Legislature will in time slide
from under the influence of the leaders
and the democratic element enter.
4tii. On the death of every President
or Chief Prophet, there will be, as there
was when Joe Smith was killed, difficult
ty in choosing successor, which may
break the sect into fragments, mutually
destructive.
9Th. Already the new generation be-
gins to laugh at and scout the "reyela
tions." The marvels of Joe will be mer,
jokes in another generation.
9th. The religion failing, polygamy
will fall; and in time, this singular people
will become homogeneous with the rest O
the Union. They have the elements o
industry, theft and ingenuity Statesman
and Democrat.

Our future Prospects.

OuE Iutuft E-EOSptCtSs
Tile improvements going on in and a.
bout town and the increase in business
bid fair for good time coming. Upper
Sandusky is beginning to look up, and
the citizens begin TO act with energy. as
if they intended on being something. This
is the right spirit, but it should be more
generally diffused among our people, as
the future prosperity Of the place depends
entirely upon the present energy and ac-
tivity of those who are now building up
the town.
The fact that good schools, add much
to every place, is sufficiently plain to every
person who will look about and can see
anything, then why not 60 in for good
Union School house, with good teachers,
and have this very essential branch of
our future prosperity going on. This is an
important thing to every citizen, and why
delay the matter so long? If we are tax
cd little extra for a few years, we will
reap the harvest in proper time.
Let every man stir himself, and go to
work improving his property in some
way or other, SO as to enable US to look
forward with good cheer and an expecta-
ton of having thriving and prosperous
town. Nature has done much for US, and
now let us do the remainder. and all will
be prosperous. The cite for town can
not be beat in Ohio. We have all the
romance of the wild woods, all the beauty
of the plains, and all that both can give
us to encourage ua to prosecute our i'm
proyements. Indeed, we are wide famed
for place of extraordinary natural
gifts of beauty.

The Jew in Great Britain

The House of Commons in England,
lately rejected a bill which contemplated
the admission of Jews to seats in the
British Senate. Singularly enough among
ltsopponents, was the celebrated d Israeli,
its great champion and defender: Polity,
however, was at the bottom of it. The
same bill also removed restrictions form
Roman Catholics, altering the Parliament
airy oath, SO that it would be unobiection-
able to them. It's the policy of D Israeli
to discounect the Jewish question from
all others that would fasten upon it either
political or religious odum. He knew that
it would stand better chance of success
in the House of Lords upon its own merits,
than if it was coupled with Roman Cat
holics. Still twas strange to see D Israeli
disdainfully rejecting privileges for the
Hebrew, because the same hand held out
the same privileges to Catholics. His posi-.
ton was that of man claiming for him
self rights which he would not concede tc
others Cn Eng.

the Post Office Department is established

master General, or the President and
Senate, have appointed dishonest Post
master, the United States are not bound
to remunerate the loss an individual sus-

they were the trustees of said applicant,
