JEW AND GENTLE MARRIAGE.-There
Is deal Of gossip In London about the
forthcoming marriage Of q Gentle gentle.
man with . daug6 of the Hebrew
millionaire, Sir Anthony Rothschild.
There are frequent marriages in this
country between Jews and Gentiles, but
In most cases, as far as We notice, the
Gentle gives up his or her religion and
adopts the Jewish faith. The ex Chair.
man Of the Democratic National Execu.
tive Committee, August Belmont, Is Of
Jewish blood, and married Gentle lady,
daughter Of Commodore Perry. Tie
late y. N. Pike, who was Of Hebrew ex.
traction, married a Gentle lady, who re.
mains q Christian. The Jews in this
country are getting more liberal in this
matter than the Jews are in European
countries. In course Of time the Ameri
can Jews may be absorbed in the other
elements Of the population. In the mar.
risge between the Rothschild lady and
Mr.. Yorke she will retain her Jewish
faith and he his NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

To do an agents work well great
firmness and knowledge Of the Irish
character is required, and in some dis
tricts in the west a knowledge of the
Irish language is very desirable and alb
solutely requisite.
When an agency becomes vacant
proprietor receives innumerable applica-
tions for the vacant office, often from
persons ludicrously ignorant Of its duties.
Thus, some time ago a seeker OF such
an Office accompanied his application
he was retired army officer-by
sketch of a sort of watch-tower whence
he proposed to watch the tenantry. and
fire upon them as occasion required
With few exceptions the agents on large
estates are gentlemen bred 10 the bust
ness, whose fathers have been agents,
and have thus early become initiated
into the mysteries of the Office.
Many Irish landlords are, and still
more used TO be, very much in the hands
Of their agents, of whom they have bor-
rowed money, and further depend on
for support in elections. Instances are
by no means wanting Of men now hold
ing high rank as country gentlemen
whose fathers and grandfathers grew
rich out OF estates confided to them 70

who gradually fell completely into the

Important Telegrams

We trust that the Associated Press
do not paw very high salary to their
AGENT in Berlin. 1t is, also, to he hoped
that the cable tariff on dispatches Is rea-
sonably low. 1t seems from telegram
from Berlin, published yesterday, that
the Japapese ambassadors have had
conference with san eminent professor
of jurisprudence regarding the propriety
of establishing Christianity as the state
religion of Japan" This fact may have
some Importance, because it discloses
that some of the Japanese are disposed
to embrace Christianity. The fact Is,
however, that religion, in any form,
does not enter, to any considerable ex-
tent, into the life of the people of that
country, while, what may be termed,
the higher and the educated classes, are
all more or less skeptical and indiffer-
ent upon the subject. Their only pre-
tence to a religious system is modifi-
cation and blending, or, rather, con-
fused jumbling of the systems of Con-
fucius and Buddha. But the fact that
half dozen, more or less, of the Japan
ese ambassadors favor the introduction
of the Christian religion, or, in other
words, the admission of missionaries into
Japan is nothing new, We supposed the
object of the Associated Press agency

Vermont and Louisiana.

We are pleased to see by the letter
herewith published that Governor Con-
verse does not recognize McEnery as
governor of Louisiana, but simply adj
dresses him as g Hon. John McEnery.
We think, nevertheless, that the letter
should not have been written. 1t is an
official letter from the Governor of Yer
mont to an individual claiming to be the
Governor of Louisiana, and the fact of
writing such letter is claimed by Nc
Emery and his partisans in Louisiana, as
well as by the whole democratic
and liberal press as the country, ms a
quasi recognition of McEnerys claims.
The whole Louisiana muddle is one with
which the Governor and Legislature of
Vermont have nothing to do, and it
seems to us that it would have been
wisdom on the part of our Governor to
have kept clear of 1t. However, the
letter has been written and published
and we are glad that it is no worse than
it is. The letter, which first saw light
in the New Orleans PicGyune, is as fol-

The Slate Interest i'm Western Ser-
mont.

In our opening article on this subject,
we commenced with something of the
history of the early development OF the
Slate interest in Western Vermont, and
proceeded so far as to give general idea
of what is now doing in the slate manu-
facture in the towns of Fairhaven and
Castleton. II will be recollected that we
named seven mills in those towns, six OF
which are in active operation and sup
piled with stock from quarries in their
vicinity. The product from the slate
manufacture in those towns amounted
to not less than 100000 in the year
1879. Our information, at this stage,
will not allow us to give an accurate es-
innate, but we are sufficiently informed
to say that the product will foot up to
those figures, and, we think, consider
ably above.
How much money the proprietors OF
