The JEWS AND INsURANcE.-The
Richmond papers give full reports of a
recent indignation meeting in that
place OF citizens principally of the He
brew faith, with several agents of north
ern insurance companies to give expires
sion of their just feeling of Indignation,
and to denounce and protest against
the recent action of several northern
insurance companies in instructing
their agents to take no more "Jewish
risks"
The Examiner says that the Syna.
gogue was crowded at an early hour,
and those present were the most re-
spectacle OF that class of our fellow
citizens known as Jews-all of them
old merchants and business men OF
Richmond-and a large number OF other
prominent citizens. The meeting was
called to order by nominating Gusta-
vus A. Myers, Esq, as chairman, and
General Moore, as secretary. Rasolu-
tons were adopted condemning the
action of the ZEtna Insurance Com
pany OF Hartford; the Manhattan, the
Hanvoer, the Niagara and the Repub-
lie, of New York. Speeches were made
by Thomas Evans, William Crump, ].
III. Montague, Mayor Mayo and others,
condemning the proscriptive policy OF
the insurance companies.

A LATE Paris letter tell us: "The
little Prince Imperial is unwen and
has been in bed all the week. The ut
most care has been taken to keep his
malady secret, and the public knows
nothing about it. The details am
about to mention, and upon which you
may entirely. rely, learned by the
merest accident from an eminent medi-
cal man quite unconnected with news
papers. a few days ago he had pain
in his thigh, accompanied by swelling.
The tumor was probed and pus came
out of it. AT 3 o'clock on Tuesday last,
an operation of a painful character was
performed by DIR. Barthez. The poor
lads life is, 1 believe, in no immediate
danger; but the symptoms reveal bad
constitution, owing, probably to a
hereditary faint. or course, however,
1t would be treason to hint that at
court, where great pains are taken to
inculcate the belief that the illness is
owing to severe gymnastic exercises
and too much study. My informant
tells me that in order to keep from the
public any suspicion of the true nature
of the disease of the heir apparent, the
court physicians have invented n name
which does not describe il with scientif-
ic accuracy. They call 1t coEdEgte."

The Memphis appeal, while admit
ting thatthe South cannot hope to sue
cessfuily inaugurate another armed
revolution suggests that it has another
string to its bow which Wilt answer its
purpose. The appeal Says
at will find a far better mode than
armed revolution. of dealing with the
North. 1t will do, hereafter, what il
ought to have done and could have
done instead of seeding. ELEVEN
States, voting in solid phalanx, can
control legislation, and decide who
shall he President. The South will use
its senatorial and electoral votes to buy
and bride with; and there will always
be party in the North to be bought
and bribed."
1t may be that there is too much
truth in this boast. 1t is, however, a
comfort to reflect that the party most
likely ito be bought" is in most of the
Northern States hardly worth the pur-
chase money, while at the South u new
element isjust about entering the polit-
zeal field, which has been too often
bought and sold without any voice in
the matter, to allow itselft to be made a
voluntary party to any further trans
actions.

THERE was lately lady of high de-
gree in attendance on the Princess OF
Wales. 1t is usual for ladies SO in at
tendance to receive, on retiring, a pres
ent ofJewels from the Prince, and in
this case the present was a bracelet of
diamonds and emeralds. The lady
went soon afterwards to ball, and
naturally wore this bracelet which the
Prince had given her. She danced, and
her partner, after one of the dances,
was struck by observing u trickle of
stodgy green fluid on her ladyship's
arm. He named it to her. They ex-
| amined it. They traced it to the brace
let. They found one of the emeraIds
gone. The fluid came from where the
stone had been. Her ladyship was ex-
tremely disturbed. She sent the brace
let back to the Prince of Wales, telling
him the circumstance. His ROYAL
Highness rushed of to the jewelers. and
showed them the bracelet. They adj
mttted that it was "doublet, !" but they
said il had got in by mistake. Great
was the Princes rage, and he wanted to
know what "a "dOubletr is. 1t is a
common sort OF stone embedded in IA
material called Canada paste, which
was the stuff that ran down the lady's
arm, and by which, of course, emerald
and other stones are fabricated. The
jeweler, of course, furnished a perfect
stone, and huubly apologizeed.

The Ca.e of Ienerson Davis.

from dugIe1S weekly.
Senator Wilson's concurrent resolu-
ton ought to pass. 1t declares that
Jefferson Davis is charged by the Presi-
dent with completely in the assassina-
ton OF Abraham Lincoln, and is also
indicted for murder; that he declares
his innocence and demands trial; and
that common justice, sound policy, and
the national honor, unite in requiring
that he should be speedily tried, or re-
leased u pom bail or his own recogni-
Zance.
Nothing con be palmer than that an
accused person should be tried or re-
leased. II a man were arrested upon
the charge OF stealing n pocket-hand-
kerchief, what would be thought of
imPrisoning him for two years
before undertaking his trial? The
principle is not changed because
crime charged. Indeed, the more
heinous the Otfense, the greater is the
necessity of speedy trial. Payne, At
zerott, and the rest, were tried and exc
cuted without delay for one of the Of
fences with which Davis Is charged.
Why is he excepted? If there is not
sufficient evidence to try him as their
accomplish, the accusation should be
abandoned. As long as he is charged
and not tried, 1t Is the country which
suffers and not he. We prove that we
do not think him guilty, yet that we are
not brave enough to say so. No more
tgnoble position could be occupied by a
truly great people. Let US try him, or
renounce the charge.
AS for the trial Of treason, we have
long since expressed our opinion of its
ineXpediency. No possible result could
affect the great and solemn verdict of
the nation which has been rendered.
If Davis were found guilty, the decision
would be merely ludicrous after the
tremendous settlement OF the war. II
he We're acquitted, the Government
would be convicted, and the war which
the whole nation by uncounted sacri-
tice has justified, would be declared I'M
justitiable by twelve men. Would the
results of the war be thereupon relin-
quished2 Could there be any conclusion
TO such II trial but one which is mex
pressibly absurd? jefferson Davis Is
now the most insignificant OF men.
Why should he be made Important

A Blasphemous Show.


 The New York World has the follow ing, which i. says it has been at muct pains to verify:
 Tn the streets of Tallahassee, Florida there appeared handbill, announcing that on certain evening, at a certain hall there would be an exhibition of scenes from the Bible, for the benefit of the col ored people. When the time arrived and the curtain rose, there appeared big burly negro. fantastically dressed, rep reseuting the person of Christ, with a lighted candle stuck in his wool to give the idea of the halo around the head of the Savior Twelve other negroes, in corresponding costume, represented the twelve apostles. The performance con sisted in the exhibition of certain scenes n the life of Jesus; and our informant states that the idea was understood to have been originally suggested by some vhite persons to the colored performers, fir the purpose of inculcating the notion tat the Savior was negro. The per so-mance broke up in general fight, oc sioned by some disturbance originating pong the audience, which was composed
 isively of blacks. We beg our read.

Something for Unmarried to Read

The Cleaveland ledger, in an elabo- rate article headed "What kind of a man is attractive to women ?" thus sen sibly answered the question::
 The answer can be given in few words God has so made the sexes that womenlike children, cling to men lean upon them for protection, care and love; look up to them as though they were superior in mind and body. They make them the sun of their system, and they and their children revolve around them. Men are gods if they but knew it, and women burning incense at their shrines. Women, therefore, who have good minds and pure hearts, want men to lean upon. Think of their reyeren- cing dyunkard, a liar, fool or lib- tine!
 If man would have woman do him homage, he must be manly in every sense; true gentleman, not after the Chesterfield school, but polite because his heart is full of kindness to all one who shows her respect, even deterence because she is woman who never con- descends to speak silly things to her; who is never over anxious to please her, but ever anxious to do right who has no time to be frivolous with her; always dignitied in speech and act; who never spends too much moh- ey upon her; never yields to tempta- ton even if she puts il in his way who is ambitious to make his mark in world whether she encourages him or not; who is. never familiar with her 10 the extent of being an adopted brother or cousin; who is not overcareful about dress; always pleasant and considerate but always keeping his place as the man, the head, and never losing.
 Such department with good princi- pies, good mind, energy and industry, will win aay woman in the country wLo is worth the winning.

Tho Old Woman.

Once sho was mother, and it was "Mother, I'm hnSgry," Mother mend my jacket" "Mother, put up my dinner aud Mother" with her loving hands would spread the bread and butter, and stow away the luncheon, and sew up the great patch, her heart brimming with affection for the imperious little curly pate that made her so many steps and nearly distracted her with his oois- terous mirth.
 Now she is Hthe old woman" but sbe did not think it would ever come to that. She looked on through the fu- ture years and saw her boy to manhood grown, and he stood transfgured in the light of her own beautiful love. Never was there more noble son than he-honored of the world and the staff of declining years.
 Aye, he was her support even them but she did not know it. She never realized that it was her little boy that gave her strength for daily toil-that his slender form was all that upheld her over the dark brink of despair She only knew how she loved the child and felt that amid the mist of age his love would bear her through its infirm- it:es to the dark hall leading to the life beyond.
 But the son has forgotten the terder ministratious now. Adrift from the moorings of home, he is cold, selfish heartless, and !" Mother" has no sacred meaning to the prodigal. She is the "old woman," wrinkled, gray, lame and blind.
 Pity her o grave, and dry those tears that roll down her furrowed cheeks! Have confpassisn on her sem sitive heart, and offer it thy quiet rest that it may forget how much it ongs to be sdear mother to the boy it nour- ished through careless childhood, but in return for all this wealth of ten derness has only given back reproach.
