ToLERATIoN IN FRANCE AND PRUssIA.-
The following letter from an Israelite, pub
lished in the New York World, will give
new views to many readers who ignorantly
consider Prussia as the most prominently
liberal and tolerant of all nations:
To the Editor of the World.-Sir: The
editorials published in your journal need
no Endorsements; but l cannot refrain, with
your permission, from adding few words
to the paragraph which appeared in to-
days paper, in regard to Jewish sympathy
in the present European war. 1t is an I'M
doubted fact that a majority of the Israel
ties living in this country warmly sympa-
thize with France. Ever since the time of
the first Napoleon French Jews have en-
joyed the same privileges in common with
their Catholic and Protestant fellow citi-
zens. To prove this, l may say that the
late Berger was of Jewish extraction NJ.
Jules Simon and NJ. Cremieux (both great
Repubfcans) are Israelites; large num-
Der of officers in the Garde Mobile are
Jews. There is no honorable or lucrative
position to which French Jew may not
aspire with n fair chance to attain his de-
sire.
In Prussia--land Of philosophy and Pro-
testantism-the case is entirely different.
1t is only few years since the Jews
were emancipated, and even ut the present
tested against them. Not two years ago a
debate took place in the North German
Parliament bill to allow Israel
ties to fill certain professorships in the
University. The bill was passed by bare
majority, but the debate served to display
the remarkable ignorance and silly preju-s
dice possessed by many German law
makers.
think these facts speak for themselves,
and it is not wonderful that many Isralitee
should love France, a land where religious
liberty has found an abiding home. Yours,
truly, j. L. MAYER.

LAYING OF THE CoRNER-SToNE OF A Ro-
MAN CATHOLIC HOSPITAL AT JERSEY
GITY. - A Society of the Sisters of St.
c'rancis has been created in Jersey City
since 1864. The labors of these Sisters
have been directed toward the poor and
sick. As fast as their means would allow
tley have increased their facilities for do
ing good, and since 1868 they have occu-
MED q house on East Hamilton square,
where they could accommodate twenty
beds, and during these two years they
have taken care of more than 300 patients.
During that time, by means of charity,
sufficient funds have been raised to enable
them to erect larger and more suitable
buildings. The new building has been
house formerly occupied by, them. -.and
which they will continue to Occnpy. Yes
terilay- the cornerstone of, this buiiFing
was laid, although the walls are entirely
sup and the building nearly fiHished.
It is proposed to erect series
pof buildings, of which the present
one will be wing, at q cost of over $loo,-
800. The house, will furnish, already, &C
commodations for 100 male and female pa
tients, and no distinction is made on &C
count of country or denomination. The
laying of the cornerstone was performed
with impressive ceremonies by Bishop
Bailey, of Newark, and there was an inn
uAense crowd of people present. All of the
Catholic societies end localities OF Jersey
CITY took part, aud there were plumber OF
visiting societies from Hobokeh and ad-
Joining towns. Bishop Bailey was assisted
bv a large number of priests, and while
the ceremonies were being performed, the
Skaters passed around among the people
oolicitinq donations. A short but eloquent
1ddress was made by Rev. Father Hecker,

PAPAL DEFENCE FUND. .MonsignOr
Stonor, has sent the following appeal from
Rome, to London Catholic Journal. No
verbal application could add anything to
its simple and telling statement of the ur
gency of the situation. Catholics the
world over are interested, and We trust
the subject will find fitting response in
The bosom of all the faithful. No matter
what the issue of the present Italian move
mentor occupation-His Holiness will
need material aid:
Scp-I venture, through your columns,
to make an appeal in behalf of the Papal
Defence Fund, and more especially for the
Zouaves. The italian army surrounds the
Poutifical territory, and five ships of war
are before the port of Civita Vecchia. The
sear of another foreign occupation may
deter the Italian Government from crossing
the frontier, but it will not prevent their
xrming aud sending in h ortlus of Garibal-
iaas, whose only object is murder and ra-
nine. Should the Pontiical troops be
oyerpowered in numbers, it has been re-
selved to retire within the wall and de-
Send Rome. To alleviate in some measure
the constant fatigue of the army, the Ur-
ban Guard are to he called ont this week.
Numbers of volunteers from all parts OF
Europe are daily enrolling themselves in
it. The French and Belgium committees
are preparing ali that is necessary Ia case
the war should break out again; and we
should not forget that sa,nil band "' OR
eountryme who are exposing their lives
for the hottest of causes. / hope that these
few lines will be sufficient TO excite the
sympathy of all who wish we'll to the cause
of the Holy Father.-I remain, your obe-
dent servant. EDMUND SToNoR.

Quarantine.

If reports current on the street have any
foundation, the quarantine authorities of
this State must be trying very hard to in
troduce yellow fever into the city. We
hear of few OF no cases except among per-
sons connected with the shipping or just
arrived from foreign ports. Fruit dealers,
ship captains, mates and seamen are the
victims, while the neighborhood OF the
French Market and the levee connected
with the West India trade are the scene Of
its operations.
With vigilant quarantine force not one
of these cases ought to have reached the
city or originated here. All shipping with
infected cargoes or crews could easily have
been kept at safe di stance, and the muni-
cipal authorities of Philadelphia would not
yet have had the coveted opportunity OF
slandering our city with the report Of an
epidemic.
1t is, of course, wrong to suspect men of
intentional perfidy on slender grounds, but
the quarantine management of this year
would 60 some way in supporting fornli-
dable charge of political opponents. Sup
pose, for instance, it should be declared by
the Democrats that the Republicans inten-
tienally introduced the fever in order to
keep away large proportion of the white
population and leave the voting in the
hands of the negroes. 1t would be difficult
under the circumstances to discredit the
charge entirely. Certainly the plan would
be q most effectual one. The only thing
necessary would be to Keep up a rigid
quarantine throughout the sumner, be-
cause the fever would run its course too
soon and disappear before November if
allowed to appear too early, then about
the middle of September give it a fair start
and it would certainly hold over until the
November election, and every body knows
that those who come back late are the
surest to die, unless they wait until the
fever has entirely disappeared. In this
way the New Orleans elections could al
ways be thrown into the power of the col
ored voters.
Now we do not really believe, on the
present amount of evidence, that any of
our fellow citizens have been guilty of SO
vi.lainous an outrage to secure a mere po-
litical advantage, still it is imprudent in
the party holding control to give any ex-
cnse for such a suspicion. Let them at
least show tardy zeal at this late day and
enforce the quarantine rigidly. Perhaps,
even with the multiplied starts that the
fever has had, the natural healthful-
ness of atmospheric conditions may elimi
nate all poisonous influences hitherto i'm
ported unless backed up by reinforcements
and new relays.
At any rate, if an epidemic is really in
tended by the Republicans, humanity re-
quires that they should give notice and
warn off all probable subjects on their own
peril. Always declare war before you be-
gin it. 49,,

LAYING The SOhNEk DUNE Ot A EW
CATHOLIC CHURCH, NEW YoRK.-The cor
ner- stone of the new Catholic Missionary
church, at the corner of Thompson and
Canal streets, was laid by Archbishop Nc
CIoskey, on the 5th inst, with the usual
imposing ceremonies of the Catholic
Church. Seventeen Father Matthew and
religious societies, numbering over 1900
members, assembled in Union Square at
l o'clock and marched in procession to the
site of the new church, with flags and
music. In front of four of the societies the
flags of Ireland; Germany and the United
States were carried abreast. Congregated
around the site were fully. 10000 persons.
Shortly after A o'clock the Archbishop,
in full canonical robes, accompanied by the
Father Superior of the Redemptorist Order,
Rev. w. Wayrich, the Provincial of the
Order, Father Hemprecht, Rev. Fathers
Farrell, Walsh, Cassidy and others, with
acolytes, left the priests house and went III
surrounded by Gordon of young girls
dressed in white and holding wreaths of
flowers. After the stone was laid with the
usual ceremonies, the St. Cecilia Singing
Society sang hymn and Mendessohn's
chorus, after which Archbishop McCloskey
and Father Hemprecht delivered brief ad-
dresses.
The church, which will extend from
Thompson street through to Laurens street,
will be simply n mission church, and no
ceremonies of baptism or marriage will be
solemnized in it. 1t will be solely devoted
to the Offering up of Masses, hearing of con-
fessions and instruction of children. The
church will subsist alone on the voluntary
offerings and Mass honoraries. Clergymcn
will be in constant attendance to head con-
fessions in French, German, Italian, Dutch,
Flemish, Spanish Swedish, Norwegian and
other languages. The priests of the church
will be ali of the Redemptorist order under
the Father Superior Wayrich.
