The Jews Always Remaining the Same
Number I'm the World.

The Hebrew people, remarkable all over the world for
their thriving popularity in business Of mercantile ma
ture for they never touch agriculture still more re-
markable from the fact that their entire number in the
world at the present about the same as in the pamest
days of Judea.
This fact is worthy Of note in the statistics OF the
Jewish population and is among the most singular cir
cumstances Of the most singular Of all people Under
all their caamties and dispersions they seem to have
remained nearly the amount in the days OF David
and Solomon much less after ages of suffering
Nothing like this has occurred in the history Of any
other race Europe in general having doubled its popu
laon within the last hundred years. and England near
y trpled hers within the last half century, the proper
ton Of America being still more rapid, and the world
crowd,ng in constantly increasing ratio Yet the Jews
seem to stand still in the vast and general movement
The population of Judea in its most pamy days, proba-
bly, did not exceed if it reached, four millions The
number who entered Palestine from the wilderness were
evidently not more than three millions, and their census
according to German writer's who generally con-
sercd to be exact nearly the same as that OF the
people under Moses-about three millions. They are
thus distributed -
In Europe one million nine hundred and fifteen thou
sand nine hundred, Of which about six hundred and
ftyeight thousand in Poland and Russia, and four
hundred aud 6fty.thr thousand are in Austria.
Iu ASIA seven hundred and thirty eight thousand, Of
which three hundred thousand are in Asatic Turkey.
Iu Africa, 6ve hundred and four thousand, OF which
three hundred Thousand are ip Morocco.

empire.
The pastoral property transports itself on the hoof
and finds its food ready furnished by nature In these
elevated countries fresh meats become the preferable
food for man to the exclusion of bread, vegetables and
saled articles The atmosphere of the Great Plans Is
perpetually brilliant with the sunshine tonic healthy
and inspiring to the temper. 1t corresponds with and
supasses the historic climate of Syria and Arabia from
whence we inherit all that is ETHEREAL and refined in our
system Of civilization religion, our sciences, our
alaphabe numerals, our written languages and our
system of social manners.

The HEBREW GENEALoaIEs IN THE BIBLE.-Gene-
SIS ch. 5-The Rev. Dr. Cumming says curiously, that
remarkable fact that the names that are given IN
this chapter Of memoirs and epitaphs when literally
translated from the Hebrew contain prophecy OF the
Gospel of Christ each conveying great and bless
ed truth.
Adam is the first name, which means, "man, in the
image of God;" Seth "substituted by;" Enos, rial
man )" Cainan, "amenting;" Mahalaleel, the bless.
ed God :" Jared, shall come down." Enoch " teach
ing :" Methuselah his death shall send )" Lamech,
" to the humble;" Noah, Crest" or consolation
It is thus if you take the whole Of the names, and
simply in the order in which they are recorded you have
this truth stated by them -
"To man, once made in the image of God, now sub,
stituted by man, fra and fall of sorrow the blessed
God himself shall come down the earth teaching and
his death shall send to the humble consolation"
| This is just an epitome Of Christianity

British forces This movement brilliantly executed
by the battalion under the command Of Lieut. Col
James Johnson his brother Col T. NJ johnson, at the
same time charging the Indians with the other battalion
It happened that in one of the companies under james
Johnsons command there was huge, brawny fellow,
named Lamb; he weighed about 240 pounds; was a
brave man. and as good humored as big-brave men
proverbally are Lamb had broken down his Kentucky
horse by his great weight and mounted instead upon
short, stout, wild Canadian pony from whose SIDES
his long limbs depended almost to the ground while his
bulky frame rose high above the beastooking not ui

When the charge was made, Lamb pony TOOK 1flsh',
and broke into run. Lamb pulled until the bit broke
in the animals mouth, aad all command of him was
lost The little pony stretched himself as to the work,
dashed out of the ranks outsrlpped all the he
leaders, and pushed on in advance OF tho company:
Lamb was no longer master Of his horse or himself and
he was in quandary. If he rolled OFT he would De

He struck both heels into the pony Aanks and urged

To his surprise the lines opened right and left and be
