Disraeli and Judaism.

The Jewish Chronicle, a very high
authority among the people whose views
it advocates, has the following remarks
in reference to the new premier and Ju-
daism: "There seems, indeed, to be a
singular mistake as to the relation OF
Disraeli to Judaism. Some jews CEN
sure him as an apostate, and urge his
apostacy as an instance Of tergiversatior.
Some Christians scoff at him as a Jew,
with singular disregard of all they owe
to the Hebrew race. Now the fact is,
that, in plain English, Disraeli is neither
an apostate nor Jew. he was born of
Hebrew parents. His father, Isaac Dis
raeli, the author, and his mother, a scion
of the Basevis, were members of the
Sephardim Jewish families. His grand
father and grandmother, indeed, rest in
the Portuguese cemetery at Mile-end.
Benjami Disraeli was admitted into. the
communion of Israel, but his father,
thinking fit to quarrel with thesynagogue,
failed to teach his child Judaism. One
day Rogers, the celebrated banker poet,
happening to visit at Isaac Disrseli's
house, at Hackney, when Benjamin was
about FIVE or six years old, and, regret.
ting to find so intelligent youth without
religious instruction, took him to Hack
ney church. From this event dates his
absolute and complete severance from the
Jewish communion. He became Chris.
tian, and great genius was lost to us"

Eva Husbands in Four Years.

We know that, in the matter of social
relations, Syracuse is-a Chicago lmag-
inc feminine sport taken from the
saline nursery and transferred to the hot
bed of the West. A correspondent OF
the Syracuse Courier, writing from the
City of the Lakes, tells of such case;
& The joys of wedlock and the surprising
bliss of divorce has just been illustrated
here by girl OF nineteen marrying her
fifth husband. She was well known to
many readers of the Courier four years
since as Miss H H---n, about
which time she was first married. The

From the Diary Of Lady in washington.

A Washington correspondent assumes
to quote as follows from the diary OF
bride visiting Washington: Z" The Senate
Chamber is all buff and gilt, like an en-
velope on Valentines Day. There is
silver ice pitcher on the table of the
Presidents counsel, which, i believe, is
plated. / wish / could just 90 down and
feel of it. They say that the govern
ment is swindled in everything. Per
haps the coolest swindle is ice pitchers.
If my husband ever comes to Congress
l mean to work him pair of slippers in
red, white and blue. Then he can't go
across the street, like Mr. Alwusbeery,
to drink between votes, in his stocking
feet / saw Mrs. Southworth, the great
novelist, author of the Deserted Step
mother. She lives at Georgetown, in a
haunted boarding house. Her health is
good, considering what must be her dis
.tress of mind, say two hundred pounds
without jewelry. Her dress was black
silk, tabs on the mantilla, and angel
sleeves, so as to leave space to swing her
beautiful pen, If / could write like Mrs.
Southworth, I would keep Alouzo, my
darling husband, sitting at my feet in
tears all the time. Mrs. Swizzlem, the
colored authores IS of Mrs. Keckley's book,
was in the diplomatic gallery with some
of Mrs. Lincoln's dresses on, counting
through an opera glass the pimples on
the face of one of the Senators. She
hates his wife, Alonzo says, and means
to worry her."
