The high respect with which the
Irish regard their Jewish fellow
citizens was evinced by an incident
which recently occurred in Dublin.
On the dangerous illness.ofa daugh-
ter ofMr. S. Samuel of that city,

statement, that Ireland is the only
country in which Jews have not
been prosecuted.

A Democratic journal says that
"the Grand Dukes visit to this

Gen. Grant will continue in the

a tail similar to that OF a COW, an
ass head, the cars of a horse. and
the hair on it's body kinky like an
wool, was onexhibition in
jacksonville on the 18th inst. 1t
was the foal of a mule by a horse,
and sired in Southwestern Oregon
in 1868. It is to be taken to New
York and sold to Barnu,n. That
poor animal is o good deal like the
Democratic party. 1t is neither one
thing nor the other, but a tremen-
dous monstrosity made up OF the
most ridiculous inconsistencies join
ed together in the most ludicrous
relations. Democracy, look at your

ssThe five indictments against
Sam May were found by a jury
composed of five Radicals and two
Democrats. The evidence was too
plain for them to get around the
thing = oregon CITY Enter
prise.
If those five Republican jurors
had been the corrupt men which Is
intimated in the above sneer, they
could have found some pretext upon
which to base all acquittal of Sam
May. IF they had been as much
disposed to estimate everything by
the standard Of party, and not of
Justice, as seems to be the case with
the Democratic manipulaters in this
instance, they might have found it
convenient to pass over his case,
possibly. The Democratic manipu-
lators set them the example, at least,
of playing the game Of clay low
and keep dark" SO far as indicting
May was concerned, until some tit-
teen months had transpired, and
four sessions of the Court had pass
ed over, and q Presidential cam
paign was about to begin. They
knew all of this time that May was
guilty, it seems, but as their cleo
tioneering material was somewhat
limited to be used in political
campa gn, they appear to have con-
cluded to remain passive" and play
"possum, until the right and ripe
time should come. The Democrat
ic journals of Oregon, almost unan-
imously, we believe, have pretended
to hold the ''passive" policy of the
Missouri Rc1,etblican III scorn but
this May matter seems to indicate
that they adopted that principle
long before the Republican thought
Of it. IF May was known to be
guilty of embezzlements at the ses-
sion Of the last Legislature, and
more certainly few months later,
those who wield the processes Of
the law in such cases, by refusing to-
execute them, became in q moral
and legal sense accessories, by
shielding the criminal from justice.
IF these Democratic manipulators
had been half as much inclined to
promote the ends of justice as they
have been to advance the interests
of the Democratic party, or had
they shown the same conscientious
devotion to duty and obligation
which was exhibited in the conduct
of these five Republican jurors,
May would now be suffering a pen
atty commensurate with the grave
nature Of the crimes proven against
him.

THE AMERICAN WIT ABROAD
An English paper says: GA story
is told which may be commended
to Partisan gentlemen as containing
a valuable hint. Two Americans
were dining with two ladies at
hotel in Baden. A Russian prince,
who wished to pick a quarrel with
them, purchased two bouquets and
sent them to the American ladies
with his compliments. The Ameri
cans glanced pleasantly at the Rus
sian, and sent him by the waiter
who brought the flowers, two ma
poleons. Inc offender was, it is
added, SO chagrined that he left
the room. 1t is thus shown that
people who have abandoned dueling
may be by no means so detenceless
against personal afronts as might
be supposed

The Statesman has the follow
ing paragraph, which is understood
to refer to retired artist in Indian
vouchers :" What man is there in
Oregon who will hesitate to believe
that if May had held office and got
rich twelve OF fifteen years ago and
not been found ont, but had saved
up and bought houses, and lands,
and sheep, and cattle, and factory
stock, and have contrived to be n
Democrat, he could to-day have

INTERESTING ASTRONOMICAL DIS

what elements composed we are not
informed, or indeed whether the
spectrum showed it to consist of apu
of the elements known on the earth
The fact Of the gas being in 4 highly

existing at a comparatively low tenn

fact-if such has been shown.

on Wednesday. Dec. -. = While
preparing for the first dance" says
a report. the Duke offered his arm
to Mrs Hoffman. and, followed by
Madame Catacazv and Governor
Hoffman. came upon the floor. The
party promenaded around several
times and then took positions in the
floral half the Iancers. The Duke
and Mrs. Hoffman led off. with the
Governor and Madame Catacazv as
first side. General Mcdowell and a
magniicentlv-dressed lady danced
.iS-ft-riS 10 the Duke. Mrs Hoffman
wore a splendid corn-coforei silk
trimmed with black lace Madame
CatacaZv was attired in white tarle-
tan and white satin Overskirt. She
wore no diamonds. The Duke, alas,
is not Il dancer. and it required Mrs.
Hoffman closest attention to get F.
him through the figures. Indeed it
was an awkward setaltogether Gen /
cral Mcdowell. although a great sol,
der, has evidently forgotten all he
knew of dancing. and the same may
he said Of Governor Hoffman.
Monsieur Julien had to wait for the
set to get through the figures. and
had frequently to help them ont by
prolonging the music. Nevertheless
the Grand Duke attracted every
bodv's attention. No other sets
were formed. but all crowded around
until the floor managers had to press
the crowd back to give the dancers
room. After this dance the Duke
promenaded for few moments and
then retired TO his box, where lie I
gazed upon the gorgeous spectacle.
