The .JelES.

The Jews have been often described as
"nation without q country and when
we consider how we'll they manage to get
along in countries that belong to other
people, how they have preserved their iden-
tity, how they have borne persecution
and grown wealthy, it would seem that a
country is not necessary appendags to q
people at all. The vitality of the jews as
nation is one of the most remarkable
things in history, and their fidelity to the
religion of their fathers excites the wonder
of the student who reads the story of their
(wanderings and prosecutions.
We inherit the history and Literature of
three great races, the first of. which is the
Hebraic, or Jewish, the other two being
the Grecian and Roman. The influence of
the first, beyond doubt, transcends in i'm
portance that ofboth the Others. And the
direct representatives of the nation founded
by Abraham, and for centuries called the
'chosen people of God" are now scattered
all over the world, out still preserving their
ideRtity and their religion, and in many
things, their laws SOther nations have
risen to the first rank ofpower and passed
into oblivion since the Jews had country
of their own. Greece and Rome, even, live
only IN Ihe past, ana GrecanS and Romano,
like those of old, where are they, except as
we find them combined in the Anglo-Saxon
| of the. present age9
The Jews are as class, temperate, intel
ligent, shrewd, and, among themselves, af-
fectionate and charitable. Therefore we
find them noted for their longevity and
good health, their wealth and prominence
in great financial enterprises, and the ex-
cellent institutions they have established
for the care ofthe needy. These character
istics, and the tenacity with which they
have chung to the faith of their fathers, are
undoubtedly the secrets of their vitality as
people, The Jewish population in Eu-
rope and America is. more than four mill
lions, and they are found in every part of
the world where civilized man has pene-
trated IN the interestsot commerce, as tray
slers or colonists.

Death OfN Voted Mar.

Robert H. Randolph, who was dismiss
ed from the navy by General jackson, and
who pulled the Generals nose in conse-
quence, while on steamer at Alexandria,
believing he had been unjustly dismissed)
died In Washington city recently
at the age of seventy-eight years. Ran
dolph escaped arrest at the time by getting
beyond the jurisdiction of the county po-
lice before process could be issued. The
affair created quite tempest, the triumph
ant Jackson party feeling that its own nose
mad been twisted by this audacions de
scendant of Pocahontas. General Van
Ness, then mayor of Washington, sent a
message to the councils on the event, and
the boards responded in resolution of con-
dolence and Indignation.
Randolph was fugitive for couple of
years. The act MANNED his prospects, and
he lived and died in poverty. He was a
cousin to John Randolph, and leaves a
wife and three daughters and one son.
Floyd gave him the superintendent OF
the Washington Armory, when he was
Secretary ofWar, but B buchanan ordered his
dismissal Randolph was lieutenant in
the navy when dismissed, and had done
good service under Decatur. He was said
to be high-spirited, intrepid man.

1t was not till quite lately that an idea
occurred to an Italian gentleman, while
experimenting the excavations, of getting
more perfect record ofthe history of the
dead citizens. He had seen the shovel of
the laborer sink into some cavity in the
consolidated ashes, to find that in many
cases there had been the body of some un-
fortunate gradually desiccated, but leaving
its shape in the surrounding earth. Upon
the next discovery of such cavity, he had
it carefully filled with liquid plaster, left
it to solidify, and then the hardened ashes
were broken away, with the result that he
hoped for; since here, in the attitude taken
at that awful time, was the casting of the
dead Pompeian with the feature, form,
everything exact; in one case, evidently
an elderly woman who had lain down
quietly to die; in another, q fair young
girl convulsed with horror, her limbs con-
torted, and her dress or veil held round
her head to keep out the suffocating ashes
rings, ornaments, all plainly to he seen;
and even the embroidered sandals upon
the feet of one figure, whose coarsely-tex-
tured dress and many rents seem to indicate
that she belonged to the poorer classes.
The folds of her head-dress can be seen
sweeping down upon her shoulders to join
the gracefully hanging robe; but her ap-
pearance is distressing in the extre1ne. Ev-
IDENTITY fleeing for her life with what few
treasures she could collect-jewels,
silver coins, silver cups, and the key that
probably had been used to secure others
she had fallen at last, overcome by the sui
locating heat and deadly gases floating
around. But the next figure displays the
peaceful sleep of the strong-a tail, stout
man this, laying upon his back with calm
ly extended limbs, one who was probably
overcome at once by the sitting fumes.
In this case the clothing ola man of his sta
tion ID plainly to bemade out, and he was
evidently of the humber classes, as shown
by his iron ring and heavy, nail-studded SAN
dals tightly laced to his ankles. His dress
was short tunic, and here it seems that
the heat of the falling ashes was not so in
tense, for portion Of the mans moustaehe
is to be seen upon the casting, while some
OF the teeth are yet entire.-From 1.-THE

when to Labor and When to
Rest. r

As general rule, the best portion of the
day for severe labor, either mental or phys
ical, is before noon. The vital forces OF
the body and brain, after the recuperation
afforded by good nights rest, are then in
their best condition for active and effective
labor.
The mind is clearer, fresher, and more
elastic, and the muscles respond to the
mandate of the will with greater readiness
and freedom. The experience of many
will seem to contradict this For instance,
persons who, from neccesaity or otherw Use,
have formed the habit of performing their
hardest labors in the afternoon or evening,
will assert that they can do it easier at
such time than they can in the morning,
and true enough they can, so long as they
are subject to that habit; but once let
them discontinue that course, and form the
habit of doing their hardest work in the
early part ofthe day, and they will soon
perceive a decided Improvement in the
ease which their work is performed, and
also that they can do more in the same
length of time, and with less fatigue, than
they previously could later in the day. AS
Nature indicates the time to labor, 80 does
she, even more plainly, point out the.time
Tor rest, In the "still hours of night" Ma
ture sleeps and rests, and so should man.
Man requires on the average, when in
health, about eight hours sleep out of the
twenty-four and it should all be taken du-
ring the hours of darkness. In sickness, it
is often well for the patient not only to-
sleep all night if he can, but also to sleep
some in the daytime. In health Say-sleep
is unnecessary, if night-sleep can be had.
Severe labor of any Kind should not be
performed either short time before or
soon after eating but light, gentle exer-
else or recreation OF such times is not
only NOT objectionable, but, for per-
sons in health particularly, decided adj
vantage. No one should labor with the
mind or body while suffering from pain or
fatigue. Under such circumstances labor
exhausts vitality with great rapidity.-
The universal remedy for fatigue is rest

The buffaloes found in the telegraph
poles of the overland line a new source of
delight on the treeless prarie-that Of hay

was expensive scratching for the telegraph
company, and, there, indeed, was the rub,

daily. A bright idea struck somebody to
send to, st. Louis and Chicago for all the
brad-awls that could be purchased, and
these were driven into the poles with a
view to wound the animals and check
their rubbing propensity. Never was q
greater mistake made. The bufaloes were
delighted. For the first time they came to

thick hides that would thrill them from

A CLASSIC BuREAL--Mr. John Under
wood, of Cambridgeshire, England, left
some six thousand pounds to his sister up
on condition Of her carrying out his wish
es repecting his funeral, and the lady wisely
sacrificed her feelings rather than her for
tune, and fulfilled his last injunctions to
the letter. The dead man was placed in a
green coffin clad in his usual every day
dress, his head resting on copy of Sara
don's Horace, Bentley's edition being pla-
ced under him and the same editors Mil
ton lying at his feet. The right hand of
the corpse clasped small Greek Testament
while the left clasped miniature edition
of Horace. No bell was tolled but after
the burial service had been read over the
dead, an arch was turned over the coffin,
and piece of marble placed in the centre,
inscribed Non Onsnis mortar, 1888. The six
mourners, or the gentlemen who did the
duty as such, then sang the last stanza of
the ode in which Horace deprecates any
display of grief for the dead. Adjourning
to their dead friends house, the six sat
down to an excellent supper. AS soon as
the cloth was removed, they performed a
requiem in the shape of another Horatian
ode; and, after making themselves merry
with cheerful glass, departed TO their
several homes, and we suppose fulfilled the
testators final injunction to "think no more
of John Underwood"

The New York Beard of Health passed
an ordinance forbidding the sale of illumi.
mating oils that would take fire or burn at
temperature below ITO deg. Fab. or that
would evolve an explosive vapor below
that temperature. A few days since sam
pies of oil were purchased in seventeen
stores and subjected to analysis, and every
one was found to be below the standard.
The report says:
The first seven are not kerosene oil at all,
they are benzine or naptha, the most dam
gerous portion OF the natural petroleum
the portion which is separated and rejected
entirely rs burning oil by all honest ref
ners. The addition of as little as two or
three per cent. of benzine or naptha is suf-
fcient to render good oil dangerous. This
benzine is usually sold under some special
name. 1t is the most dangerous substance
that can be employed in the dweliasg- and
has been the cause of all the frightilt krr.
osene' accidents, either when used by itself
or as an impurity in kerosene.
Various processes for rendering benzine,
gasoline and naptha nonexplosiye have
been patented, and rights of sale have been
disposed of throughout the country. Ac-
cording to Professor Chandler, it is impos-
these substances SAFE The addition of
few grains OF alum, potash, borax, alcohol,
gum camphor. &C., to a barrel of benzine
does not change its dangerous character
in the least. The experiment of pouring a
little OF the fluid into bottle and apply
ing q burning match, is no proof whatever,
for to produce an explosion it is necessary
to secure a certain ratio of air to benzine
vapor, which it would not he possible to
do in bottle once in fifty times. Every
oil that can be lighted with match is un-
safe for use.
The various "patent safety lamps" which
are warranted for the use of any oil, (even
benzineD are pronounced by the chemist to
be wholly unreliable. Benzine and danger
Gus kerosene, he insists, are always unsafe,
no matter what lamp may be used. One
lamp may be little safer than another
when in perfect order, but lamps will break
the oil will be spilled sometimes, accidents
will happen, and the oil or its vapor will
be brought in contact with the flame,
when, il the oil is not safe, an accident is
sure to result. One-half of the number of
so called "safety lamps" are no safer than
others, while the remainder are safe only
50 long as they are in perfect order, and are
subject to no carelessness in filling or hand
Ling What is needed to prevent kerosene
accidents is safe oil; with it all lamps will
be safe.
The samples numbered from eight to fif-
teen, inclusive, are average specimens of
of kerosene which are sold at retail. They
all contain more or less benzine, and conse-
quently fail to, come up to the requirements
OF the law. They are very dangerous.
