The SWEET SINGERS OF ISRAEL
It is q very remarkable fact that
many of the finest singers and lof-
tiest composers of Europ are
Isrealites and, indeed, not few
oc the profoundest musical critics
and acutest writer's on the aesthetics
of music are of this same persua-
sion. We need merely mention a
few names, known to every person
of the least artistic culture, in IL
lustration OF our assertion, and
these are Meyerbeer, Mendelssohn,
and Halevy. And it is seldom
that a first. class musical perform
ance is gotten up, either in this
country or in Europe, without the
assistance of Jewish musical skill
Itwas notin vain, therefore, tn al
the sweet Israelitishs singer of old
bade his subjects and descendants
to touch the harp and sound the
timbrel; /; they have done it from
the days of David down to the
present epoch, and many Of the
spblimest creations of musical ge
MUS that have ever ,entranced the
heart of man find their origin in
the inspirations of Jewish, bards.

dull time here ia, the cause.n s,.J, :
! . For aoule time there, has been q
constant tide of emigration from
all parts ofthe Soath to California.
It. ives represented as the land
flowing with milk and honey,
where we could easily repair the
broken fortunes of eTwar. .,tsWe @
were told that the doors of employ
ment were open to all, and that
the laborer, especially, was met by
high wages and o. hearty welcome.
Various letters reached MS. Some
appeared in the public print, urg-
ing those who could move to fy
from the Republican disorganiza.
tion and starving terms Of the
South and take refuge under the
golden shadows of California. 9th
ers warned us that all was not gold
that rglitters, and that unless the
pocket was well lined there was no
hope on, the Pacific coast. But
the restlessness of human nature
prevailed, and the tide still flows
in one unbroken stream. It is
certainly to tho interests of the
Pacific coast, as it is with every
new country, to encourage emigra-
ton, particularly the white bone
and sinew of the older States And
the words Of caution spoken by
lending Journals Of that distant sec
tion come to us with all the sane
tion of disinterested testimony. If
we have ears, let us hear. The
fact seems to be that every avenue
q, employment in the way of clerk,
ship, OF. the professions, is crowd
ed and blocked, and every by-way
OF labor is occupied or pre,engaged
BY the Chinamen.a They have the
refusal of every contract of work
because they can live on less, and
underbid the native laborer. This
is 80 far the case that an exodus of
white labor threatens, and already
the column has n commenced it's
march back to Mississippi and
Louisiana. Sometime ago we met
a middle aged gentleman who
left this State just after the war
with the debris Of his means, and
has since travelled all over the
East and West to discover a loca,
ton. fol, profitable investment, and
returns to, 81 etsup business i n
Orangeburg. This speaks volumes
for the advantages Of our. State.
There is a general cry of dull, hard
times everywhere, and the pros
poets for business are, no worse
with us than with, those who look
better the more distant they are.
At home we are certain of friends {;
when we emigrate we are certain
of nothing except the diminishing
greenbacks of the original pile.
We, therefore, advise our people,
one and all, to stay at home and
help fight the good fight for the
veal, liberty and fair name of our
State Charleston Gasette. ,gh,, ~

sactronl the principle, that because
they Subscribe for a'paper, is is an
insult to ask pay for advertising in
Its columDs. . They do, net pause
TO reflect that the whitelpaper and
presswork cost nearly what, they
pay each week for their favorite
Journal; and that the printers
bills, salaries, rents and incidents,
must come ont Of the advertising
patronage. And this leads us to
another point--gratuitons adyer-
tising.ssFew people yseem, to COM
prehend that newspaper publish
ing, like merchandizing, il o buss.
ness. Our dry goods merchant
sells his prints and domsstics; our
grocer his coffee, tea and house
hold supplies. Certain columns in
a newspaper are devoted to pro-
mitigating its opinions and the dis
semination Of what Journalists term
strictly news. The other columns
are the publishers dry goods and
groceries-for sale. No one not a
professional beggar, would think
of asking a dry goods merchant or
grocer to furnish him q bolt of do
mestic or barrel Of -four gratis
Yet newspapers are asked every
day to print, gratis, commnnica-
tions of O purely personal charac-
ter, and which should be paid for,
like other advertising. This is
not because of any wish to impose
on publishers, but because 90 few
comprehend that, in asking free
publication of matter Of this kind,
they, are asking us to give them

We hope we speak plainly enough

NEw USE FOR PAPER.-Paper
cravats, shirt-bosoms, and waist
bands are becoming quite common
among U.S. while the Japanese pa.
per handkerchiefs are being Intro.
duced abroad . But by late En-
glish invention this fabric is now
to be used in the manufacture OF
clothing. The samples exhibited
are sewn with q machine, giving
seams alrnost'as strong as a woven
fabric, and possess great strength
and tlexibility. The inventor has
particularly applied his process to
the production Of petticoats, which
are either printed in imitation OF
the fashionable skirts of the day,
or stamped out with open work
of such beauty and delicacy as no
amount of labor with scissors and
needle could initiate. Imitation
cretonnes and chintzes for bed fur
niture are also made. The felted
material "is 30 flexible that a
curtain may be twisted into a rope
and shaken out again, showing as
little creasing as a chintz similarly
trea.ed,"'9 There are also table.
cloths similarly embossed with de.
signs Of great beauty, Imitation
leather, impermeable to water, is
likewise made of it, and produces
a cheap and useful covering for
furniture, and even serves fol

The Richest Boy In America.

The papers are telling about a
boy in New England, now four
teen years of age, who is supposed
to be the richest boy in the United
States, because he has q great deal
of money, To our mind, the rich
est boy in America is the one who
is good hearted, honest, intelligent,
ambitious, willing to do right. He
is the one who loves his mother,
and always has kind word for
her; who loves his sister or sis
ters, and tries to help them, and
regards them with true affection.
He is the boy who does not call
his father the cold man." but who
loves him, and speaks kindly to
and of him, and tries to help him
as the hairs of his old age gather
fast upon his brow. ~. -
The richest boy is the one who
has pluck to fight his destiny and
future. He is the one who has the
manhood to do right and be hon.
est, and is striving to be somebody;
who is above doing mean action
who would not tell a lie,to screen
himself or hetray O friend. He ia
the boy who has a heart for others
whose young mind is full of noble
thoughts for the future, and is de-
termined to win a name by good
deeds. This is the richest boy in
America. Which one Of our read
ers is it2 g...........
This boy we like; we would be
glad to see {; wonld like to take by
the hand and tell him to 90 on
earnestly, that success might crown
his efforts. And if he is a poor
boy, we should meet him at the
threshold, bid him enter, and give
him good advice, we'll and kindly
meant. That other rich boy in
New England we don't care any
thing about, for there are fools and
snobs enough to worship, flatter
and spoil him. a Zee, 'n.-.. r-. ...r
