JEWS. From long and sugges-
tive article in the Chicago RepubHcma,
concerning the Jews, we extract the
following:
"The Jews rise gradually above the
average Of mankind whenever their
immense mental resources and their
formidable intensity Of purpose are
r"asecrated to religion, to humanity,
to liberty, to letters, or to art. Then
they become prophets, reformers,
and composers, and the moral and
intellectual and artistic teachers of
the world, producing Mendelshons,
Spinozas. Neanders, Bernes, Heines,
hachels and Meyerbeers. Among
the German political refoImers of the
present day, there are great number
of young men of Jewish parentage,
particularly in Berlin and Vienna,
who are the most ardent champions
CT liberty. France possesses the
CremleuE, the Jew, one of her ablest
lawyers, and at the same time one of
her mcs1 mnfiinching Republicans.
And so there are in every country
Jews who show that as soon as they
devote their great powers to some
ennobllng purpose they excel as much
IN the higher walks of thought and
life as the bulk of their fellow-reli-
gionaries IN the lower"

giving sketch of his visit to San
Marine, small republic in Italy, be-
tween the Apprentices, the Po and the
Adriatlc. The territory of this State
is only forty miles in circumference,
and It's population about seven thou

more than fourteen centuries ago, on
moral principles, industry and equity,
and has preserved its liberty and in
dependence amid all the wars and
diaevIde which have Iasca around it.
Bonaparte respected it and sent an
embassy to express his sentiments Of
friendship and fraternity. It is go

every SIX months, by the representa-
tives of the people, (sixty-six in num-
Der, who are also chosen every six
months by the people. The taxes are
light; the farm-houses are neat the
fields we'll cultivated, and on all sides
are seen comfort and plenty, the
happy effect OF morality and fru-
gality.

LACK OF THRIFT.-At the close of
the war, a wealthy citizen of Amhe erst,
accepting the results of our defeat in
good faith, entered into an engage

ettortseof the soldiers sent to see that
they did their duty, and everything

there was not enough to pay the ex-

yield rs industry had previously
drawn from her fertile bosom. they
came over in body, and laid their
complaint before the agent of the

after investigating the case, dismissed
them with the information that they
had foollshly wasted their opportunity
to turn their labor to good account,
and had eaten up, in idleness, more
than they had made in the few hours
work which they could be induced to
perform. The decision was necessary
and Just, because it was Wue but the
facts of the case are significant of the

AAoN oNE L LANIER ILLS HIS HLAN-
TATIoN.-A Memphis paper has the
following:
One Of our planting friends. who
was very large stakeholder before
the war, has developed to us a plan
OF operations for the ensuing wear,
which seems a ''step in the right
direction" 1t is the plan which he
has himself adopted, and he is san
Sulne that it will work successfully
and advantageously to both himself
and his employers. His plan is to
contract with any number OF hands,
to the extent of the requirements OF
his very large plantation, assigning to
each one the number Of acres he may
wish to cultlvate-say fifteen, ten, or
a less number of acres, to be laid off
and designated. The employer furn-
lshes all the necessary animals and
implements at a fixed valuation, ana
supplies all necessary clothing and
provisions at the cost price-a fair
account being kept of such of either
as may be drawn during the year
He stlpulates, further, that ii anv
laborer should neglect his crop, SO as

summon u Jury of view, selected from
his fellow-laOorers, who may, if they
find his crop going to waste from
slothfulness, declare his claim to it
forfeited, and the employer may then
re-asslgn the plat Of ground, with its
growing crop, to any industrious Ia
borer who will cultivate it and save it.
At the end OF the year the crop pro
duced is divided equally between the
employer and the employee-the lat
ter paying out of the proceeds of his
share the account which he may have
created for his food and clothing.
He may, also, if he wishes, take to
his own account the mule, plow, and
other implements with which he
worked during the year, at the valua-
ton price agreed upon, to be deducted
from his share OF the crop, or return
them to the proprietor. The en-
ployer takes upon himself the selling
and realizing the value OF the crop,
and division of the proceeds. with
out other charge to the laborers than
thelrproportionate charge of the costs
OF shipments aud the usual charge.

The Confederate Dead.

The following suggestions from the
Nashville Union and american. one
OF the ablest and best of our ex-
changes, Will commend themselves to
every humane and benevolent heart: ::
We frequently meet with poems
and other tributes to the s'Confed-
crate cad" Whist the dead who
sacrlh.ed their lives for the principles
winch were presented to them in the
late war are entitled to our admira
tlon and gratitude, and to perpetual
place Ill the memory of the Southern
people, there is yet living duty
resting upon us. The widows and
orphans, now suffering for the neces-
sarles OF life, and thousands of manned
survivors, call for our respect and
sympathies. In all OF the Legisla-
tuies OF the Southern States we have
Witnessed with qualification move
ments looking to the amelioration of
these classes. Our failure places our
cr1pples beyond the pale of assistance
Dy the Federal Government. No
pensions, no bounties, no land grants
enure to them. The decrepid Con-
tederate soldier must rely upon the
kindness Of friends. The empty
sleeve and the absent leg must be
supplied by the kindly offices of the
more fortunate. Happily, i'll this
work OF charity, there need enter no
political question.
The war is over, and whilst the
government can take care of the un-
fortunates who were MANNED in it's
defence, those Of the other side fall
upon the list whichnddresses itself to
feelings Of abstract humanity and
private charity. There are cases in
which the benevolent feelings of
human nature are enlisted, without
regard to the causes of misfortune.
There IS scarcely city, town, village
or hamlet IN the South in which there
are not representative Of the miserics
and mlsfortunes of war. It is due to
the better impulses of hu.nan nature
that these sufferers be relieved. Let
us not forget these duties and oblira-
t1ons. these cold and cherries
winds of December remind us forci-
bly, OF these claims and enforce them
upon our consideration and attention.
Let not the higher and kindlier quail |
ties OF our nature fail to assert them
selves, while there are SO many OBJ
Jects Of our tender regard.

WHIsKEY SMUGGLING OVER THE
CANADIAN BoRDER-CAPACIoUs BA-
BIEs. .-The Commissioner of Customs
who has recently been making every
effort to suppress the extensive snug
Shng operations which for a long
time have been going on along the
Canada frontier, has received intelli-
gence from the revenue detectives
stationed there that they have Just
detected an ingenious scheme for
conveying whiskey from Canada to
the United States:
The attention of the officers was
first attracted by the extraordinary
number of women and babies on
railroad train bound to the United
States, and their suspicious were
aroused from the fact that out of
thlrty-two ''blessed babies but two
gave evidence Of the irrepressible ami
nation peculiar to Juveniles. The
mothers, likewise, seemed especial
~ anxious to screen their little inno-
cents heads from prying curiosity,
folding them closely to their breasts,
and permitting only the neat little
1eet ana legs, encaSed IN tiny shoes
and stockings, to be exposed to the
gaze of the passengers. The detec-
tlves were on the alert, and at the
first station this side of the river,
where several of the possessors of the
passive juveniles lett the train, one OF
the officers politely requested permis-
sion of a lady to hold her ''baby"
while she alighted. Struck with the
unusual weight Of the infant, and the
excessive solicitude of the mother,
the officer commenced an inyestiga-
ton, and on removing the wrappings
discovered that the interior was tin
case, fashioned after the .simiitude
OF a veritable baby, filed with from
three to five gallons of whiskey. A
general descent was at once made on
the bogus mammas, resulting in the
arrest Of about thirty and the securing
of over one hundred gallons of old
rye.
