The Holy PLACES. Rabbi Sneersohn

The HOLY PLACES. Rabbi Sneersohn
c'Phoebus, what a name!') has made an ap-
peal to Grant for protection of the civil and
political rights of the Israelites in Palestine,
and that they may be permitted to take refuge
under the stars and stripes from the violent
and arbitrary rule of the Moslem. Our
bunting is getting rather expansive already
and we are afraid that the supply will not
hold out. Had not John Logan better
establish post of the Grand Army of the
Republic within the area embraced by the
Holy. Sepulchre? Grant will now have
grand opportunity to atone for the cruelty
OF his famous order against the despised
race; and who knows but that he may be an
instrument in tho hands of Providence to
bring back the Jews to Palestine, restore
the pristine glories of Jerusalem, and make
her what she once was, ''the ioy of the
whole earthl' BY all means, let the glo-
rlous stars and stripes be unfurled from the
summit of Mount Moriah. Let us annex
Jerusalem, with Canada and Cuba, and
thus widen the area of freedom and spread
the pinions of our eagle so that all nations
and tongues may take refuge under her
wings and be safe under her feathers.

young wife who suffers and sorrows, and
bears the punishment which strict hu-
man justice would rather have laid upon
the shoulders Of the parents.
But now and then the older fools too
are scourged for their folly. There is q
case before us now, which has just be-
come notorious through suitin the civil
court of Paris. M. de B., who, if
not actually viscouDt, has at least q
pretty and aristocratic name, married
two years ago an American young lady,
and her pleased papa promised verbally
to give the happy couple marriage por-
ton of $4,000 q year. We don't know
that M. de B was any wickeder than
q hundred other young men of fashion.
If he concealed some ugly debts at the
time of the marriage, and ran up others
very industriously afterward, there is at
least no evidence that he made Madame
miserable, or was anything verse than
lazy and luxurious. nfn
A daughter came of the union, and
then the young wife died. Her parents
refused to pay any longer for the gay de
BIS pleasures, though they would
gladly support the child. The widower
was young, and fsther.in-law could not
see, for the life of him, why he should
not 20 to work and earn living. This
was American sense, but il seems not to
have been French law. A suit was
brought to recover the full price of the
matrimonial bargain, and the court ar
rived at these extraordinary conclusions:
l. The plaintiff, M. dc B., is without
the means of existence. 2. His mother
is not, in position to afford him the
support to which his rank entities him.
3. II is therefore no more than proper
that his father-in-law, being well-to-do,
should take care OF him for the rest Of
his natural life. 4. The defendant viii
therefore pay M. de B. an annual al
lowance Of 5000 francs for himself, and
10000 francs for his daughter. This, be
it observed, appears to have no refer
ence to the portion promised at the mar
riage, but is awarded as "alimony." 1t
is an awful lesson, and we hope Ameri-
cans abroad may heed it.-7New York

The noble ambition Of the Girl OF
America to go to Paris and marry vis-
count has been celebrated by many q
satirist, and many poor girl has mourned
in lifelong misery the silly pride IN
which she sold herself for worthless
title and q booth in the Vanity Fair of
the second empire. We are not sure,
however, that due regard has been gwen
to the folly of the American father and
mother, who, being supposed by con-
ventional fiction to have, common sense
and natural feeling enough to save their
ingenious offspring from such particu-
larly bad bargains, are nevertheless apt
to be little better than marriage brokers,
when their eyes are once dazzled by the
glitter of coronet, be it never so little q

why they Go Eastward.
From tie Sacramento Union. ]


The Union noted the other day, as a
matter of important news, that on the
9th of August two hundred people took
passage from Eiko for places east, but
seyenty-fve for places west of that point.
Il is not rash to assume that three-fourths
of the dwellers in Elko and the depend
ing White Pine mines are Californians,
or from the older silver mines of Neva-
da, east Of the Sierra Nevada. All these
ha We natural affection for this State,
ar d would prefer to trade in this direc-
ti,on If they could do so without loss. But
tn drift of trade and travel is against us
already, and becoming more so every
day. The Inland Empireof August ~.
has an exp planstion of this curious fact.
1t shows from unmistskable figures that
th he White Pine merchants and mill men
lcs,n save immense sums of money by
trading with Chicago in preference to
Sa n Francisco. II illustrates with the
single item of material for crushing
mill. 1t shows that boilers and engines
can be laid down in Elko from Chicago
foundries for less than half that the San
Francisco foundries furnish them, and
batteries at very high per cent. cheaper.
OF course, then, San Francisco must
either forever lose the whole trade, even
as far west as Virginia City, or come
down in her prices. And yet, strange as
il may seem, the workmen in San Fran
cisco foundries are clsmoring for better
wages, though they are now the 5e5t
paid laborers on the continent, and the
newspapers of that city unite with the
railway company in justifying rates OF
way freights clearly ruinous to the busi-
ness and reputation of the State. Re-
stricted to q just regard for fair profits
on their capital and business on the part
of the San Francisco merchants and
manufacturers, with labor paid even Q
little better than il is in Chicago, where
II is we'll paid, and with railway charges
reduced between way stations to rates
corresponding with those of other roads
that cost no more to build and operate,
there is no reason in the world why San
Francisco should not completely control
the trade OF ell the State of Nevada and
even of Salt Lake. And why not make
these reductions II certainly should
cost no more to live in San Francisco
than in Chicago. No part Of the conti-
nent furnishes the staples Of life cheaper
than California. If house rent is higher,
because real estate is inflated, then let
real estate find its proper level. These
reforms must take place, or San Fran
cisco will be dwarfed into mere provin-
cial town, with not trade and commerce
enough to keep her wharves from rotting.
The day has gone by when she could live
upon false reputation, neglect and op'
press the interior, and in the arrogance
Of conceit boast that she was the State
and could prosper in spite of the uni
versal decay of ell interior towns and
industries. r5
