Jerusalem.

Henry Day writes from the Holy Land
to the New York Observer:
The population of Jerusalem is about
10000, and is composed of two classes
the pilgrims and those who prey upon
pilgrims. There is no permanency to
it. They have no interest in the CITY as
a home. The Bishops, clergy and
monks of the Greek, Armenian, Coptic.
and Latin Churches, who number thou
sands, and the Jewish population,
which is largely increasing, are foreign
ers, and live on the charities of foreign
countries Very few of the inhabitants
of the city own any property in it. A
large proportion of the houses are
owned, wholly or partly, by the mosques
or by some of the Christian churches.
This property, held in mortmain. is
literally held by dead hand. The
grippe of death is on the whole. No
change or improvement can take place.
1t is very common in Moslem countries
for the plous to leave certain annual
sum to be paid from their property to
the mosque for pious purposes. This
gives the mosque hold on the estate.
which they never relinquish. It is tied
up from sale on improvement bv the
family. This evil is felt all over Pales-
tine and Syria. ALI these causes con-
tribute to.make the regular population
of Jerusalem a wretched class of people.
No missionary operations have ever sue
ceeded in Jerusalem. 1t is said that
the Jews are fast gaining in numbers.
and will soon be the most numerous
class. Their great vocation seems to be
to wall by the great stones at the foun-
dation of Solomon's Temple. One class
of them are called Pharisees to this day.
They are known by one curl hanging by
each ear, and by fur worn on their cap.
Their faces are very pale but the cruel,
deceitful, crafty look of the old Phari.,
sees is stamped on every countenance.

Union Pacific Lands-Patents Withheld
Till the Road is COMPLETED.

The Union Pacific Railroad Company
does not succeed in obtaining patents
for the remainder of the lands located.
but not yet patented. There are about
10000, 600 acres included in their original
grant. Up to the present time patents
have been issued for between 900, 900
and 1,OOO,00 acres only of lands lying
in Nebraska. This is only half the
amount selected by the road. The
pate nts for the other have been with
held. They are not withheld, however.
because of the pendency of the Credit
Mobilier suit, though, if there were no
other reason, this question would doubt
less be considered. The difficulty that
the road has to procure patents is that
the Government has no information that
the road has been completed in accord
ance with the terms of the law The last
report of the condition of the road was
made by commission of eminent citi-
zens, of which, it will be remembered.
Ben. Wade was member. This com
mission found that the road was not
constructed and equipped according to
law. The ties were of soft wood, and
the culveTts were of wood instead of
stone. There were omissions of like
character to comply with the law. New
ertheless, the commission recommended
that half the lands located by the road
should be patented to the company. but
that the other half of the patents should
be reserved till the terms of the law had
been complied with. The Government
acted, and is acting. according to this
report. The Secretary, in answer to the
application for the rest of the patents.
expresses his willingness to appoint a
commission to inspect the road, and
report whether the law has been full
filled but the company does not seem
to be in haste to have any more inspec-
tions. They, however, have desired to
have patents for all the lands east of the
Rocky Mountains, and that the lands
west OF those patented should all be
reserved, This proposition was not ac-
cepted, and every other section of those
located is reserved. 1t is therefore not
likely that the Union Pacific will secure
any more patents for months, possibly
for years, to come = WASHINGTON Letter.

A Charmer Taken In.

In the laguage of the Era, an English
authority in all things theatrical, the fol-
loving curious occurrence is said to have
taken place at Brighton. The perform
ance OF ''Man and Wife " at the Theater
Royal was delayed some little time on
Tuesday night in consequence of it hav-
ing been discovered that Mr.. Charles
Collette, who was playing the part of
Str Patrick Laoaolie, was not in the
theater. Before, however, an apology
was made Mr.. Collette arrived. wet to
the skin, and in state of great exhaus-
ton. He dressed hurriedly, and ap-
peared on the stage, exhibiting no traces
OF the ordeal he had gone through. It
appears that Mr.. Collette had learnt the
art of snake-charming in India. and was
explaining the process to Mr.. George
Reeves Smith, the courteous general
manager of the Brighton aquarium. Not
w1thstandlng the entreaties of Mr.. Smith
Mr.. Collette insisted on exercising his
science upon the octopus, and succeeded
IN Turing the monster from his hiding
place, and caused it to follow him round
the tank. On bending down to the sur
face OF the water, however, the creature
seemed to shake off all control, and turn
ing his snaky feelers round Mr.. Collette's
neck, drew him by main force into the
tank. A desperate struggle ensued be-
meath the water, whence Sir Patrick
Letradie was with difficulty extricated by
Mr.. Smith and several bystanders. Mr..
Collette has since confined his powers of
charming to the patrons of the theater,
and with far greater success.

One Cause of ConsumntiOn.

DR.. MacCormac, of Belfast, Ireland,
is the author of work on pulmonary
consumption, recently published by the
Longmans, London, and which has at
tracted considerable notice According
to DR.. MacCormac, induced consump-
tion-as distinguished from that which
is hereditary-has its origin in rebreath-
ing expired air. Persons of delicate
constitution or organization should, he
says, sleep alone, and, if possible, in
spacious rooms, thus insuring larger
supply of pure, uncontaminated air
and the window-sash should invariably
be slightly raised on retiring When
the dormitory is small. if not carefully
ventilated, oxygen, the essential element
that supports life is quickly exhausted,
and the individual takes back into the
lungs carbonic acid gas, which is so de-
structive of ife-the whole system be-
coming deranged, the air-cells ulcerating
and, with the destruction of these, the
whole bronchial region falling into dis
ease.

Dense Populations.

The Memorial Diplomatique gives
the following interesting account of the
density of population in the great CEN
ters of humanity throughout the globe.
There are nine cities having a popula-
ton exceeding 100000 souls, viz.
London, 3, 261, 900; Soochow, 1000, 900
Paris, 1,825,000; Pekin, 1,64S, 900
Yeddo, 1,554, 900; Canton, 1926, 900
Constantinople, 1,075, 900; Sinont-an,
IN the province of Honan, l 900, 900
and Tehactchoan-foo, in the province OF
Fokien, 100000 1t will be seen that
although London holds the first place,
the Chinese Empire can still boast of
possessing more populous cities than all
the civilized States of the West. The
number of cities possessing population
from above half million is twelve. viz.
New York, Vienna, Berlin, Hangka
Philadelphia, ST. Petersburg, Bombay,
Calcutta, Foochow, Schening, Bankok.
and Kiota. Twenty cities have popu,
lation of from 1000 to 400, 900 in
habitants, thirty-three of from 200, O0C
to 100000, and ninety of from 100, ,OOC

WHAT MANUFACTURING DOES. There
is many city and town that will appre-
ciate the following One manufactory
employing a hundred men will support
an additional 500 people. Three hun
dred families will disburse annually, on
an average, $500, OF $75,0 900 in the
aggregate. This money will be drawn
into the town from the outside, where
the manufactured goods are consumed,
and the interest of this S75, 900 at 10
per cent would be 81, 500. These hun
dred families, too, would require hun
dred houses, thousands of pounds of
agricultural produce, and thousands of
yards of cotton and wooden goods, thus
giving health and impetus to every
branch of industry.

A MEXICAN RAILROAD ScHEME.-A
contract has been made between the
Mexican Government and the Mexican
international Railway Company Tor the
construction of a road from the city of
Mexico to the Pacific Ocean and the
river Rio Bravo del Norte, the details
of which have just come to hand in the
Cosmopolitan of June 9th, a paper
printed in the Mexican Capital. The
fourth article of the contract provides
for an ingenious list of inducements for
the company to hurry up their work. If
the road is finished in nine years, the
company gets but 100000 as kind of
premium; if in eight years. $4,000 in
seven years, 5000, 600; in six years,

LANGUAGE OF ANIMALS. 1t has long
been known that animals and insects
have language that is understood by
others of the same group. But NJ.
Houreau maintains that they can and do
learn to understand the language of
other groups. His dogs, for instance,
perfectly understand his poultry. Cocks
and hens have one danger-signal for the
approach of bird of prey, another for
that of a terrestrial animal or for man.
When the latter was sounded the dogs
would rush out and bark, while the
former paid no attention whatever. He
therefore concludes that fowls have the
power of expressing slightly different,
but closely allied ideas, and dogs can
learn to understand these differences.

attention of the medical world abroad
has been aroused by the new treatment
of cancer, introduced in London by a

contends that cancer is not a local but
a general disease that it tarises from the
presence of a poison in the system
that the knife will never cure the dis
ease, but only postpone it's fatal effects.
His remedy consists in setting up an
other disease se-fever-under the infu-
ence of which the blood poison, which
causes the cancer, is thrown off. Tt is
said that he has made some mar velous
cures.
