Your able article on the above subject s a fresh
proof of the kind interest you have hitherto shown
in the cause of Judaism, and read the same with
feelings OF regret inasmuch AS, according to your
statements, they are facts emanatlng from the
Jewish press But am afraid that in making those
remarks you have been misled; and in handling
subject entirely Jewish you have misjudged It's fair
proportions. In case that YOU really believe

the Stokes trial will be gratihed to hear from
the lips of the jurymen that that intelligent

Sixty Young officers have been dismissed from
the Prussian army. They had obtained their
commissions during the war for bravery in the
field. They are now cashiered for not having
succeeded since in acquiring the necessary quail
i6catiOns for passing.
In 1860 there were about two hundred school,
houses in Kansas. This year there will be
about two Thousand. In 1865 there were but
sixty miles of railroad, now there are about
two thousand. In 1861 there were 101 900 peo-
pie in the state, now there are near 100000.
The nitro-glycerIne method of catching hsh
has been adopted at Kanawha falls, West Viz
ginia, with success. A tin cartridge containing
one pound of glycerne is connected with bat
terry, sunk in the water and exploded. With the
water thus thrown in the air comes up more or
less stunned but not dead fish, which are speed
lily secured. The expenditure of three pounds
Of nitro-glvcerine resulted in the capture of $50
pounds of fish. The method is of course ruin
Gus to the further propagation of fish.
IL is estimated that fully 10000 Wild goats
will be killed on Guadalupe island in the West
Indies during the present season. A large en-
closure has been made with about four miles OF
rail fence, inside of which nearly all the springs
on the island are situated. As soon as the dry
weather sets in the animals naturally flock
there, when the gates are closed and they are
successfully corraled, and the slaughter then
commences. The animals are chiefly valuable
for their skins and tallow.
A law that goes into effect this week in the
District of Columbia, requires that the keepers
and owners of restaurants, eating houses, bar
rooms, ice cream saloons, soda fountains, bar
Der shops and bathing houses, must put in a
conspicuous place in their establishments, a
scale of prices for which the different articles
they have for sale will be furnished. 1t also
provides that the refusing TO sell, or serve, any
respectable, well behaved person, without regard
to race or color in the same room, or at the
same prices as others are served, shall be deemed
a misdemeanor, subject to a fine of 500, and
forfeiture of license.
Somebody, who had been in Cincinnati lately,
and remembered places better than names, sent
IL letter from Nashua, New Hampshire, ad.
dressed as follows; ITO the retail tObacconist or
dealer in cigars and tobacco, on Vine street, on
same side of street as Hunts hotel and dining
saloon, and said dealers store is only few
doors from the Hunts hotel as you go there
from the post office, and it is also nearly butno
quite opposite Oskamp's, Cincinnati, Ohio.' 1t
is needless to say that the carrier had no trouble
in finding its destination.
