The large falling off in the produc- Iion of the western lead mines is a sug- hestiye fact. Not many years ago
 bese mines nearly supplied the whole ountry. Now. the West alone con ,su,nes for various manufacturing pur- noses fifteen thousand tons, while it produces scarcely eleven thousand.
 The whole amouot consumed last year in the United States was more than fifty thousand tons, seventy-fiye per ent. of which was imported. The de- ceased production of the mines of } isconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri ffsd Arkausas, is doubtless due to the < neIior attractions and profits offered .n the gold mines of the far west. An other cause a is the virtual exhaustion If inc surface beds, or lodes within = ,,.,y reach of the surface, in the rich
 # mining regions. Most of the re- aining ore is only to be obtained by } Eing very deep shafts, a process U h requires expensive machinery

the fanatical orthodox Chi .;tv Of of the Greek denomination, cd( sds spa, the fact that the Russians hat ef that the Russian Governisnsaists in cutes their co-religionists in u tMern :; Eastern Empire wherever and wngse ever it can, and that the Russian "Popes" (priests) constantly preach a crusade against tbem and denounce them in unmeasured terms. For sev- eral years past money has been very scarce in Roumania, and trade has been prostrated, as it should be in country where the authority of the legitimate Government is constantly set at def ance. The ignorant Roumanlan Chris tians, hardly one in twenty of whom can read, hold their poor, thrifty, plod- ding Jewish fellow citizens responsible for a state of affairs which is solely owing to their own unruly and turbu- lent character. Russian emissaries are constantly traversing Roumania and preaching to the ignorant peasants in Moldavia and Wallachia the gloomy doctrine of the persecution of the Is- raelites. They tell them, in gloomy colors, all those ridiculous stories about the bloody deeds which the Jews are falsely accused ol having committed at their passover, and they nourish the popular belief that, no matter what woes may befall the country, the Jews are responsible for them.
 For years past the Roumanian Chris tians have persecuted their Jewish neighbors and fellow w-citizenS in such manner as to excite the indignation of the whole world. Prince Charles of Hohenzollern, the present ruler of the country, has done his best to put a stop to these infamous outrages; but he is a foreigner; his authority is openly set at defiance by his rascally and stupid subjects, and he is so powerless that for some time past he has seriously contemplated resigning his position, which, in the course of a few years, has turned bis hair gray and made him prcmaturely an old man.-Cincinnati Commercial.

,ao nassacre of the Jews in Roumania.


 Tho Government of Western Europe would certainly interfere in the stern est manner in order to put stUpto the outrageous treatment which the poor Jews in the Danubian Princlpalltles. have so long received at the hands Of the Grecian Christians in those States, but for the fear that any action on thelr part would be violently opposed by the Russian Government, and thus glye rise to great European war that might result in a general remodeling of the map of the Old World. That Oriental Question is so surcharged with com bustibles that the statesmen of France and England will very naturally shrink from meddling with it, even though there should be as terrible a provoca- tion for doing so as the massacre of the Jews in Roumania certainly is. The Emperor of the French is, moreover, at the present time, not very able to pursue vigorous foreign policy Tn any direction. The revolutionary elements in his country, no matter how rldlcu- lous and abortive their attempts to overthrow him and his dynasty may have proved heretofore, are far from re- duced to utter submisSiveneSs, and such a state of affairs, as matter of course, necessitates the presence in France of at least one half of the avail able military forces of the Empire. Besides, there is great doubt whether the French Government will ever again go hand in hand with the English Gov ernment in regard to the Oriental Question. Ever since the treaty of Paris in the year 1856, the cabinet of the Tuiieries has leaned more toward Russia with reference to that question, which is fraught with so much danger for the peace of Europe, than toward England; and, on this occasion, al- though it will certainly do all it can to put stop to the horrors perpetrated by the Greek Christians in Roumania upon the Jewish population of thst country, it will certainly take good care not to participate in any action that might set all Europe on fire.
 \ As regards the Austrian Govern hent, though it has traditional and n,tural longing for the acquisition of tn. Danubian municipalities, there is notfing more certain than that it will not lare to interfere with Roumanian affairs in any manner. Count Von Beust mOws but too well how empty the excRquer of the Emperor Francis Joseph A, and at the same time, that a foreignwar would be utter ruin to Austria at the present ;uncture, when so many elements of theNaotlev popu- lation of thatNmonarchy wcsld be but too glad to see tue Govemmet of Vi enna exposed to imminent peril, ,'a. or der to obtain the same rights and pll'- lages that were granted to the Hun garians after the disastrous war of lo66.
 Now. the question arises, what did the Jews of Roumania do to expose themselves to such cruel treatment al the hands of their Christian fellow-cltl zens? The Roumanian Jews ar' thrifty, perhaps little sharp in thel dealings, but good citizens, honest tax payers. always careful to abstain iron participating in the revolutionary con yulsions to which their unfortunat
 country is so often prey3 charitable tolerant, and coplnarativeIt DO aasssss.
