The Jews.

Since the commencement of the
present century, the children of Israel
have played a hand in the great game
Of all nations second to no other peo-
pie on earth. Who is the most pow
erful man in the world at the present
writing? Not Louis Napoleon, or
even the Autocrat. No King, Empe-
ror, or Potentate, but dark-eyed son
of the patriarchs, Rothchilds, the
banker, the wand Of whose wealth af-
fords tho "snews of war" to half tho
crowned heads Of Christendom. Who
organized that mysterious Russian di-
plomacy that SO alarmed western Eu-
rope few years since? The descen-
dants of Moses, Aaron and Malachi.
Who is driving on that mighty revo-
luton which is atthis moment shaking
the Empire of Russia and making the
crowned head Of the continent feel as
if he were on q volcano? We an
swer, the sons and daughters of Jeru-
salem. Who are at the head of the
principal universities Of Europe p
The late Russian Minister of Finance,
the great Mendizab, Of Spain--the
late Prime Minister Of France, Wa
lewski. Who were Marshals Soult
and Massen ? Jews, Jews, every one
Of them. Who are the most opulent
merchants Of New York, Philadel-
phia, st. Louis, Cincinnati, Chicago,
etc? They are thrifty, economizing
people. But very few are ever found
in the alms-house. From whence
come our warblers ? who are the
Terpsichories Of this generation, and
who the Rossinis, Meyerbeers, and
Memberships The ohsprings OF
Levi, Jeholachin and Eleazor. There
is not an operate company in Eu-
rope, not an orchestra from Madrid
to st. Petersburg, that is not crowded
with the voices of Hebron and Geth-
semane. Almost every great compo-
ser, skilled musician, almost every
voice that ravishos the world with its
witchery, your Pasta and Grisi, all
sprung from the root of Jesse, all
come from the tribes that once peo-
pied the plains Of Galseed, Bethpage
and Salome.

How TO PREVENT BURGLARY.--Peo-
pie are usually very silly when they
hear, or think they hear suspicious
noises of a night. Tho first thing
they usually do is to light candle,
which proclaims to the robber that he
has been heard, and must escape
then they go about tho house with
this candle, and make great noise,
go O man may have plenty of time to
get away or to hide himself. Instead
of this, if person wero to listen in
tently, he would be able to hear any
suspicious noises distinctly and decide
upon their cause then, as he must
know his own house better than q
robber, he is best off of the two in
the dark; and when, having armed
himself, he has quietly opened his
door, he may wait and listen until tho
robbers are heard moving about,
when he may take such steps as may
seem necessary. If every person
were merely TO plan what was to be
dono in case of robbers entering his
house, and then were TO carry out
this if the occasion required it, bur-
glary would be too dangerous and un-
successful a proceeding TO DO popular
or profitable, and thus might be given
up for a more honest means of OBJ
tanning q livelihood SO that really
we may consider ourselves to have
done the community at large a bene-
fit, when we capture one of these gen
try, while those who allow their
houses to be robbed with IMMUNITY,
jeopardize their neighbours property.

MARRIED UNDER PECULIAR CIRCUMSTANCES.
-When young people are determined to
marry, obstacles may be overcome, as the
following will show:
Married September 10th, 1865, on
board the schooner .IsABELLA,' Captain
Williams, % miles South by West from
Timber Cove, on the Pacific ocean, by Elder
Henry Robinson, Mr.. Alma Phelps to Miss
Mary Yelling, all of Sonoma county"
The parties are respectfully connected, and
in every way worthy of each other, save that
q they are Ger young to marry yet" The
parents were opposed-the young folks were

ATTORNEY GENERAL SPEED.-The opinion
response to the Presidents inquiry whether
the conspirators in the plot, which resulted
in the assassination of Lincoln, should be
tried by civil or military court, has been
published. He maintains that during a time
of war a military tribunal exists under and
according to the Constitution that it is the
duty Of the military not only to fight the pub
lie enemies of the country in open battle, but
to pursue, capture, try and execute secret
enemies, and that, the assassination of the
President being an act of secret war against
the republic in its Chief Magistrate, those
accused of the crime are clearly amenable to
military law.

To FENIANs.-The Stars and Stripes says:
When Fenianism votes for a man of Hart
ley's instints and proclivities, it bellies every
profession of hatred for the country of which
there are no more truly representative men
than this same Hartley. Feuianism is
binder and more idiotic than we give it
credit for, if it imagines that Justice of the
Supreme Court, Johnny Bull Hartley, would
wink at or encourage such transactions, or
any other which should tend to weaken

ANOTHER Rich STRIKE.-Whiskytown was
thought to be dead. 1t is in evidence now
that it but slumbered. In the latter part oi
last week the ndefatigable Nate Harrington
reported in that burg that he had discovered
a rich ledge within few miles OF the town
Overtures were made by company OF men
to be showed up. Nate accepted the PROPOSE
ton, and showed them what appears to be
the best defined and richest ledge yet dlseov'
cred in this county. 1t is located about hive
miles from Shasta, on the west side of Clear
Creek. between Kanaka and Dog gulches
At one place, where the lode crosses a gulch
tributary to Dog Gulch, it is well defined and
two feet wide. One pound and two ounces of
the rock, taken promiscuously, was pounded
in a mortar and realized ten cents. The lode
is now claimed as far as it can be traced, and
the companies are arranging to go to work.

month of September of S6,l0S 20. During
the month the mill, because Of scarcity Of
water, has only been able to run from four to
eight hours per day. 1t is safe to say that
when the rains shall have supplied the needed
amount of water, this little mill will yield
$4,000 per month, or more. The company
have cut the ledge low down, and find it
richer than above. Twenty thousand dollars
were offered, and refused, for fifth interest
