Progress
The following paragraphs from the last letter OF
our London correspondent have attracted more than
ordinary attention:
sThe great novelty in London is the election of a
Jew-Mr Alderman Salomons-to the high and i'm
portant Office of Lord Mayor. certainly the first per-
son of that persuasion who has been appointed TO
that position.
"There is very evident opinion expressed that Ba.
ron Rothschd will be allowed to take his seat in the
House of Commons during the next session of Parla-
mentn
This involuntarly carries the readers mind back to
the middle and subsequent ages, when intolerance
and prejudice towards the Jews ran into absolute
barbariy.
1t is not now considered as in the days of Richard
the First of England, so well portrayed in Scotts
Ivanhoe, that &c the company of a Jew can spread
contamination" That was period in which their
boards were extorted from the Israelites both by
princes and mobiles, and when poor Isaac felt in
imag nation, in the presence OF knlghtly jewellers,
" the rack pass over his body like the saws and har-
rows and axes of iron over the men OF Rabbah, and
of the cities of the children of Ammon y; when Prince
john in the penitude of his power and in the pre-
of belted knights and ladies fair at the ourna
ment found it difficult to repress the rudeness of Ced
rio the Saxon towards the father of the peerless Re.
becca
A French historian, referring to the commerce and
industry of the fifteenth century, says:
"Obiects of universal reprobation, ami often ex-
posed to terrible prosecutions, the Jews still gained
great importance by their commercial superiority
and kings, who drew from them abundant contribu-
ons, protected them against the hatred OF the PEG,
pie. These ndefatigable spectators succeeded in
introducing remarkable regularity into their opera
tons. 1t is to them that we owe the invention of
bills of exchange"
And it might now be added thai it is to the Jews
that modern nations with bankrupt treasures are in
debted for the facilities of carrying on the game of
war upon grand scale.
The suboined paragraph shows the value of per-
severance:
"1he election of David SalomOns, Esq, on the
28th of September last, Lord Mayor of London, is
only remarkable from the fact that he is Israehte,
and is the first of that denomination who has filled
the Office He was elected High Sheriff of London
and Middlesex in 1885, and was the first Jew who
held elective public Office in Great Britain.
He has been leading man in endeavors to remove
Jewish disabilities for Parliamentary qualifications
and, not succeeding in these endeavors by petition,
for the purpose OF testing the question he obtained
the SURFACES of the county of Kent at the same time
that Baron Rohschild elected TO represent Lon
don with Lord John Russell Rothschid and Salomons
were refused admission, as they declined the test
oath Mr. Salomons then took his seat, was elected
by order of the Speaker appealed to the Court of the
Queens Bench but the decision was against him
He possesses large fortune, and is said to be gen.
tleman of fine talents.

Fit Conclusion.


One natural and entirely harmonious phase Of the
reprehensible baby show business instituted at the
American Museum, has Just been exhibited, says the
Albany Evening Journal in Buffalo. That city was
honored with one of the unnatural speculaions last
week The show was large-the receipts were
large--a large assemblage sat expectant of the dis
tribution of the money prizes--time wore, and be
anxious looking for of Mr.. Gordon, the accomplished
baby Snowman, became shame and rage when it was
announced that that gentleman had sloped" with all
the funds The Republic describes the effects of the
intelligence thus:
Women reversed their babies and spanked them in
their Gespair-twns were furiously knocked about
and had their vndictively pulled and their hair
unsettled--meek mothers and nurses became furious
in their complaints and virago-ish in their desire for
full. complete and Immediate vengeance. Asprants
for plzes grew hotter and holtcr--more frequent
came the cry for false and deceitful Gordon, and
white teeth met and CRASHED in frenzy, and briny,
fruitess tears fell in showers; and lamentations were
resonant. But vain were the cuffs, and pulls and
spanks--vain was the abrasons of the teeth, and
vain the inquiry and weeping on account of the
children, for Gordon was not In the midst of the
excitement, the Mayor, who was present, gave a
carte blanche TO gentleman to take the entire police
force, with carriages, CABS and drays, and all other
vehicles, and seize, arrest, incarceate or impoun
the base deceiver Of so many mothers.

A MANS HAND BITTEN OFF A HoRsE-A sur
glcal operation of a very interesting character was
recently performed in England on a soldier named
Thomas Dance, belonging to the 18th lancers who
had his arm ampuated for the second tme in conse.

was engaged at Baakava in drawing water for troops
and whilst so occupied a horse, with name and
tail erect, galloping furiously towards him. In
moment the horse seized him in his mouth, threw him
down, and kneeng on his body with his fore legs
commenced tearing his clothes off, decorating his
breast and shoulder in frightfu manner. The poor
fellow put out his hand to protect the lower part Of
his body, when the animal seized it in his mouth and
bit it off. Some of his comrades coming to his sue
cor armed with stout clubs the ferocious beast was
beaten off. Before, however, the horse could be Sc
