of this subject, I realize the feeling Of
Disraeli when, in the British Parlia-
ment, taunted with being Jew, he is
said to have replied: 4 am a Jew.
When the gentleman's ancestors We're
naked savages on these islands, mine
were princes of the temple. | feel ev-
cry fibre Of my form thrill with the
traditions Of my people," Though
it is somewhat surprising to the peo-
pie living where religious liberation
has been practiced from the founda-
tion of the State, that such an appeal
in behalf of an act Of religious incor-
poration should be called for any
where in this country, it is gratifying
to learn that the rules Of the Texas
Legislature were suspended, in con-
forlnity with the motion, by a unani-
nous vote, and that liberal ideas
upon such subjects have efectually
asserted themselves in Texas.
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1873-04-12

A Danbury young man, who was
once clerk, lately went on a farm
to work. The first night in his new
position he was detailed to remove Il
Calf from the apartment of its parent
to another shed and while engaged,
:,s thousands have been before him,
in showing the contrary beast along,
the mother reached under the tails Of
his coat with her horns and suddenly
lifted him up against the roof of the
building with a force that threatened
to shatter every bone in his body.
The first thing he did on returning to
earth was to rub himself, the next
thing was to throw up his place. He
said he didn't doubt that agriculture
was a noble pursuit, and that the far
mer needed an assistant i'll the dis
charge Of the nultifarious duties; but
he didn't believe he was designed for
,naking skylights i'll cow sheds.

A SLIGHT MIsrAKE.-The gentle
man who does the Annanias and
Sapphire business on the 1erre Haute
Express, says that a city minister
opened his front door suddenly, and
surprised a guilty-looking man, who
was just in the act of depositing Il
neatly-covered basket on the door
step. The meeting was not rapturous.
"Ah!" said the minister, rushing
out and grasping the man by the col
lar, while he piled a heavy -soled boot
under the coat-tail of his visitor,
"what do you mean, You villain, by
leaving baby on my door-ste 2
All, have you, scoundrel! I'll show
YOU how to abandon an infant to the
cold mercies of the world" And all
these remarks were punctuated by
kicks. II hain't left any baby at your
door," said the man, taking up the
basket and lifting the cover. /

A Tribute to the Hebrew Race.

An able speech wss lately made by
Mr.. b. R. PIumly, i'll the Texas Legis-
l;lture, Oh Il motion to suspend the rules
to pass an act of incorporation for a
Hebrew association. 1t seems strange
to citizens of the older States, where
acts of incorporation of religious so
cieties are common, and where no one
thinks OF objecting to extending such
privileges to Hebrews, that there
should be any difference of opinion
in an American legislative body on
such d subject. The objection, how
ever, to the suspension OF the rules by
one OF the members, because, as he
taid, s' do not much like jews" lad
the result of bringing out the spirited
and eloquent speech referred to, and
the key mote OF which was thus bold
ly struck in the beginning: +" do
like Jews. If | were not a Christian
l should be Jew. It is foolish and
cruel custom to deride the Jews as Il
people," Starting from this point the
speaker-after rebuking the spirit OF
self-righteousness by the remark
among others, that " we do nearly ev-
cry thing that Christ condemned, and
we leave undone almost every thing
that He required to be done''-paid
an eloquent and stirring tribute to the
Jewish race; the tenacity of its life;
tile courage and endurance with which
it had mastered all the conditions ;
it's existence as a great people at a
period SO remote that what we call his
tory is lost in tradition surveying
the greatness Of Egypt which held il
i'll bondage; exploring the ruins Of
Babylon, which, thousands of years
ago held it captive, where it's exiles
hung their. hopes upon the willows
having laws which have become the
laws of the world, and permeated it:
civilization; gifts and activities fell
even now in commerce, finance, mu
sical and dramatic art, statesman
ship, literature and eloquence. Mr.
Speaker, of all people, we who arr
Christians should not underyalue TIN
Jews. They We're the custodians O
our religious ideas; the progenitor
| cf our Christian exemplar. In yiey
