THE HEBREW RACE.

In the journal of the Statistical Society of
Paris, and the annals of Hygiene and Legal
Medicine OF the same city, we find some exceed
lngly interesting facts concerning the Hebrew
! race We give them below for the information
of the Hebrew population of our city: 49,.
''The history of the Hebrew is, in many re-
spects, one of the grand episodes of modern
civilization. We cannot but wonder at their
persistent and eventually victorious struggle
against implacabe prosecutions, instigated as
we'll by religious hatred as by desire to become
possessed of their great riches their force of
expansion, which led them to emigrate to all
parts of the known world; the concentration in
their hands of large part Of international trade;
the triple agency-l, of an admirably special
aptitude for trade and finance 2, of sounder
notions of the power of credit, at time when
unproductive conceament and boarding were
the methods Of saving; 8, the exclusion, by the
laws of countries which tolerated their stay in
them, from all active employment; the adhesion
to their religion, Notwithstanding the incessant
endeavors to proselyte which were often strength
ened by the secular arm; the not less deter
mined retention in the land of their exile, of
the manners, customs and traditions of Judea;
their refusal to mix with the races by which
they were surrounded; finally certain vitality,
superior to those races which enables them to
be readily acclimated in all parts of the world.
Their sobriety has always been known; in
toxication is rare-habitual drunkards can hardly
be found. We see here practical commentary
on the saying of the celebrated Ha!ler, that by
far the larger of those who were noted for their
longevity were sober and lived plainly.
The Hebrew population 10 the different coun-
tries of Europe, is estimated in table before
us, to be 1862, 2,l32, Prussia not included
Russia contains the largest number, 1,4G5,7S4
Next comes Austria, l,048,174 Third on the
list is Poland, 599,S75 England shows 900,
and Ireland, the lowest figure of all, being only
322. The National Almanac, for 1894, sets
down the Hebrew population of the United
States at 100000. This is an estimate evident
ly not too high"
The late war was not wanting in illustrations
of Israelitish bravery and devotion, displayed in
the service of the South. Many fell galantly
on the field of battle, and sealed their faith with
their blood. Louisiana, We believe, furnish ed
an entire regiment, and Charleston, New Or
leans and other Southern cities, furnished hun
dreds of Hebrew soldiers, and millions of He
brew wealth to carry on the war, which termn-
ated SO disastrously for them and for US all

ssFrom the best information that I can gather,
says recent letter from Corinth, Miss, "two-
thirds of the freedmen in this part of the South
are disposed to go to work. But many of them
object to hiring out to their former masters They
have an idea that, SO long as they remain OH the
old plantation, their freedom is not sure thing;
consequently they wish change, if only for single
eeason, with view of satisfying themselves upon
so important point. Occasionally one is head
to say to anothcr-s'Sposc you an me trade plan
cations dis year; my old marsc offer me $50 4
month, and give ME all do corn and bacon want
TO eat; but I'd like to .t suriwhcre else, so us LII
be Free Such trades are frequently made on nd.
joining plantations, and each darkcy is satisfied
with his bargain"

SNAIL Pox IN MoDILE.-Tho small pox prevails
in our city to 4 great extent. So far can
learn, the authorities arc using every cxertion to
check its progress, but unless all are vaccnatcd it
is utterly impossible to accomplish the work. We
hope that everybody (white and black) who have
not had the operation performed, will no longer
neglect it. We would again remind our citizens
that the city has wisely provided two good physi-
ci,ns to vaccinatc sratuitously, and the vaccine
matter in their possession is pure and "unadul-
tcrated.' We hope that all will ''bare their arms
and fortify against this loathsome contagion
Uulcss this is done voluntarily, we apprehend
that it will become necessary to follow the example
of several other cities, which have resorted to
what is termed compulsory vaccination" This
gives ph?sicians q carte blanche to forcibly per-
form tn. operation on oil who have not been
vaccinat.d within certain period or had the
small poI. It is an arbitrary law, but the public
safety has required it in places, and it was
enforced-AduertiSer

Republic existing on the face OF tho earth, with

will be located, for cannot answer. It must be
called republic, to warrant tho flag and fleet,
but will really only be used as an immediate basis
of operations for the transfer ofactivo hostilites
