The JEWS AT HoME-lt appears that the
Jews nowhere suffer more rigorous persecu-
ton and are nowhere in more wretched circum-
stances than in Jerusalem itself. There, as
at Rome, they are shut up in a aseparate quar-
ter, and that the darkest, fithiest section
of the city. This quar- er is a mere mud cave,
lined with mud novels. The Jews have nc
consul ointerfere when they are unjustly treat
ed; if injured, they have to bear it in silence
if plundered by Arabs, they have no hope
of recovery. Coming to the Land of Promise
to die, many Of them are robbed when they
come. Help is continually sent them from
abroad but none too much Still there is sio-
ry told of a nobleman who spert all his money
in aims at Jerusalem and was obliged to
borrow at usurer's interest, money enough ia
get home, from one Of the beggars whom his
charity had relieved.

CHAPTER V.
Nat. A NoVe Prosequi.

Several days had passed, yet nothing had
been seen Or heard of Harrys body. This
was looked upon as a favorable omen for
Nat, as it could not be proved that there re-
lily had been any one killed, although there
evidently had been struggle, and "a bloody
one. But the lawyers, ever ready in the
event of "poor case" to manufacture evi-
dence, discovered what they believed to be
the remains Of the body.
The ashes of fire which had evidently
been extinct for several days, were found
near the scene Of the couflict, among which
were found a number of bones, so burned
that they M ght as readily be taken for hu-
mon bones as those of an OK. Until this
discovery Nat had sustained himself with a
stoicsm really wonderful for man in his
critical position; but when told that these
remains had been found, he was utterly un-
manned, as he could see no way in which he
could clear himself.

That is, If l write them out 50 they rhyme

Oh, no! not much; you bet, that amt me.

Though there II be no kisses at the gate,

Now don't you thi-k that is all in his eye?
Well, Governor, I'll send you line

The Ludicrous In Patents.

The amount OF misapplied talents en-
gagged on inventions that can never be
used is as wonderful as it is prolific,
and there is a ludicrous element in
many of the patents, and more of the
applications, which is well worth inves-
tigation. We extract from the Patent
Office an account of some of these, that
show more genius than common-sense,
and have produced more laughter than
profit.
A gentleman applied for patent for
heating canals by steam, so that boat
ing could go on in winter as well as in
summer. The officer decided that this
invention was worthy of protection, and
gave him his patent.
Another applied for q combination Of
clock and bed, so ingeniously contrived
that, when the clock struck, the bottom
of the bed dropped out. He claimed
that this plan would probably awake
the sleepers.
Speaking of combination, he must
have come from Missouri or Kansas
who asked for patent combination of
cannon and plough. For this purpose
he filed three applications, making the
elongated handles of the plough hollow
so as to form two cannons. These were
to be kept loaded till the guerrillas
were after him the cannons were to be
fired, the guerrillas shot down, and
the farmer to go on his ploughing way
rejoicing.
And he, too, must have came from
the borders who asked for patent of a
combination of trunk and house. The
trunk was made with triple sides, NOV
ing up and down. Doing duty all day
in guarding clothes, when night came
on, and no cabin near, the goods were
to be taken out, the triple wall elevated
into one, and the benighted traveller
safely housed.
Another asked for patent for the in
vention of the generation of steam by
boring a hole in the ground till he
reached the waters that are boiled by
the eternal fires of earth. He set forth,
among the advantages of his plan, that
there would be no danger of explosions,
no expense for fuel, no necessity for en-
gineers - all of which statements are
undoubtedly true.
1t must have been relative of this
last gentleman, and one equally ac-
quainted with the laws that govern
the hidden heart of this planet, who ap-
piled for patent for boring the earth
for artesian wells for purposes of irri-
cation. He. gravely set forth that he
had made the discovery that quicksilver
was heavier than common earth. He
therefore proposed to start hole, and
empty into it little mercury. By the
laws of nature that mercury would be
sure to work its way downward till it
struck water, and the water would then
be sure to work its way upward till it
struck air.
All of these gentlemen paid $35 each
for their patent papers, and some of
them even more than this sum. So
they must have applied in sober earnest.

Burned to Death.

Mr.. Henry Peters, a farmer, lived in
a comfortable log house in Gross Point,
Mich. His family consisted of q wife
and four daughters, the eldest of the
latter being only fifteen years of age.
On Friday evening, in company with his
wife, he went to a neighbours house to
attend a "barn raising" meeting
which combines industry and pleasure,
leaving these four girls at hene. The
night WAS spent very pleasantly, and
Mr.. Peters and his wife remained until
a late hour, little thinking what ter
rible fate had fallen upon their child
ren.
When they returned home they found,
where their house had been, heap Of
blackened ruins. Their Oldest daugh-
ter, who, after anxious searching, was
found in the neighborhood almost dead
with fright and seriously burned, told
them that at about eleven o'clock at
night, after all the children had been
abed and asleep for some time, she was
awakened by great heat, and, opening
her eyes, discovered the bed and the
room enveloped in flames. She sprang
from the bed, dragging one OF her SIS
ters with her, and made her way through
the smoke and flames as best she could,
to the nearest window.
Before she reached the window her
younger sister tainted with pain and
terror, and she was unable to save her.
She clung to the clothing of her dying
sister, which, in her efforts to drag her
from the fame-enveloped house, were
torn from her body. She leaped out of
the window blinded and exhausted, and
could only stand horror-stricken outside
as the pitiless tongues of flame Tapped
up the dry timbers of the house, and
made an impossible barrier to her re-
turn. The three children were burned
almost to a cinder, scarcely enough of
their bodies remaining to identify them
from the rest of the debris.

many OF them who were pretty hard.
Since the repeal Of the act compelling
every ship owner to carry a certain num-
ber of boys for every tons register that
he owns, the quality of seamen has de-
generated. Now, out of crew of forty
men it is a lucky chance if you get 10
men who know a lead from handspike.
1t has been crying shame the quality
of seamen we have to take, but there
are no others to be had. The men that
used to go to sea can make on shore
three times the wages that they can by
going to sea. My vessel is no isolated
case. 1t is the same with every steamer
going out of Liverpool. They would
not be worth much in an emergency,
but at the wreck of the Atlantic they
could not do much. 1 have no COM
plant to make of their behavior.
Capt Williams thinks the baggage of
most of the saloon passengers will be
saved, and he goes down to assist the
wreckers. He will remain here doing
what he can to aid Capt Merritt.
Throughout the investigation he has
been entirely candid and taken no ad-
vantage through legal form or quib-
bles. He has no desire to shirk the
fearful responsibility which he assumed
and which still rests upon him. He is
broken down man. "My God !" he
said as left Linn, &c it is horrible ! 1t
all seems to me like fearful night
mare" Poor man Can he ever be
happy again !?

The Initiative Faculty of Monkeys,

The initiative faculty of monkeys
seems to exceed everything short of hu-
man. A sailor, having a number of
woolen caps, &C., to dispose of among
the natives, went on shore for that pur-
pose his way to a settlement lying
through a wood very plentifully in
habited by the species above mention
ed, and it being at midday, he put a
cap on his head, laying the others by
his side, and determined upon little
repose under the shade of plantain
tree. To his utter astonishment, when
he awoke, from the specimen he had
given his initiative observers of the use
of his caps, he beheld anumber of them
upon the heads of the monkeys in the
trees round him, while the wearers were
chattering in an unusual manner Find
ing every attempt to regain them fruit
less, he at length, in a fit of rage and
disappointment, and under the supposi-
tion that the one he retained was not
worth taking away, &C, pulled the same
from his head, and throwing it upon
the ground, exclaimed, "Here, confound
you take it amongst ye!" which he had
no sooner done than, to his great sur
prise, the observant monkeys did the
same-by which means he regained the
greatest part of his property.
