DIsTREss IN PALEsTINE.-Rev. DR..
MEYER, the Jewish Rabbi in this city,
has shown us copy OF the London Daily
Telegraph oil the 23d of May, containing
an editorial appeal on behalf Of the
Jerusalem Jews, who, by reason Of the
failure Of the crops in Palestine have been
lett in a very necessitous condition,
almost indeed upon the point Of stsrva-
ton. This is not news to many Of our
readers, who have no doubt seen previous
accounts Of the grievous famine that has
fallen upon the Ancient City and its de-
pendent population. The appeal OF the
inhabitants to their brethren throughout
the world and through them to charitable
humanity, in general, explains that
"the measure Of corn which
at 20 piastres would usually have
been considered alb owe the reach ol
all but the well.to-do, is now sold for 42
plastres, and the days oil reaping are very
remote. Hunger and desolstion are de-
stroying u.s." The Telegraph remarks,
surely this city (Jerusalem) and her
suffering inhabitants have claims on the
charity Of Christendom. Something spe.
clal ought to be done for the ancient
Capital Of our Faith" This language is
as applicable in this country as in Eng
land, and it ought to awaken the attention
OF all our people, Jews and Gentiles, to
the distress that has fallen upon portion
Of our fellow creatures who are suffering
for some OF the food that is wasted every
day in this land Of plenty.

THE Rouse Committee on Patents has
decided to do one excellent thing, viz:
report adversely to the extension Of the
A. B. Wilson sewing machine patent
which is the key of the whole sewing ma.
chine monopoly. This in effect tolls the
knell Of the sewing machine ring, and we
shall within two years see sixty.five dol
lar and eighty dollar machines selling for
thirty dollars and forty dollars. It was
high time thst this enormous tax on an
article Of household necessity had been
sbated. Long ago the inventors Of all
the essential parts Of a sewing machine
have been made wealthy, and the fortunes
now being resped from the manufacture
are gathered by men whose only claim
lay in their possession Of sufficient capital
TO buy patents and build manufactures.

Editors Of the Intelligenesr:
This morning a German from Bellaire,
whose name could not learn, accom-
panied by his vile, on their way to this
place stopped st Shoemaker's tavern on
the pike 10 water the horse. The wife
was seated in the buggy holding the
reins while the man was giving the horse
water. A pigeon flew past the horses
head, which frightened him, and away he
dashed. The. man held on 10 the reins
and was dragged some distance, striking
the fence corner, breaking his arm near
the shoulder. The wheels OF the buggy
passed over his hand and leg, bruising
both badly. The woman was thrown
to the ground, falling on her head, re-
ceivlng two large gashes on the forehead
and bruistng her also. Both were taken
TO Shoemaker's. DR.. John West and DR..
Charles Baker were called In, and the
broken arm was speedily set, and the
sufferers placed In q comfortable position.
Our County Treasurer got new fifteen
hundred dollar burglar proof safe q few
days ago. In changing the combination
the lock was not properly fixed and un-
fortunately the door was closed and locked
before trying the lock TO see II all was
right. II Is usual to try with doors open
when making changes. Mr.. Gross, the
inventor Of the lock, was brought on from
Cincinnati, and after two days succeeded
In opening the door. The lock goes to the
factory for repairs, Moral: "Be sure you
are right before you lock your door,"
Damages, say 800.
Our "burnt district" Is not rebuilding as
fast as was expected and desired. Doubt.
tul Il any building goes up this summer.
"Pertatef'' bugs plenty. Dry, hot and
dusty. Trade dull.
Wool is being clipped. Farmers want
fifty cents, and are disposed to hold for
that price. Oar private opinion, which
you need not mention, Is that about forty.
five cents will get the crop, although far
mers will be slow to accept that price.
