And there are more Jews in it than in any
city in the world. There are eO,ooo Oh
them, and most excellent people tney er1
too. They follow, Of course, the lines 0,
business that the Israelites have follower
from time immemorial. They are banker
jewellers, pawnbrokers and dealers IN cio'n-
ing. Occasionally there are firms dealing IN
what may be called staple goods, but as a
rule thew prefer articles of fancy or luxury
probably because they afford better PROFIT
4 man may neglect to paw his tailor or his
boot-maker. but if his wife wants diamond
necklace, she has it, and cash is paid Tor 1t
too. The Jew is fond Of dealing IN such
things.
The elder Jews hold very strictly to their
ancient religion, but the younger ones depart
yery widely from it. They prefer the society
OF Americans, and very soon they get md oil
the Hebrew religion, taking none, however,
( IN its stead. The Jewish syRagogues are
magnificent Affairs. That on the corner OF
/ Fortv-third street and Fifth avenue cost
| $500 600 the one in Seventh avenue cost
| 5000 600 In the latter the ark cost S.o,-
900
But whether they hold To the ancient
faith or have strayed into infdelity, the
Jews are most excellent citizens. They iol-
low their business, whatever 1t may be-
carefully; they are quiet and law.abiding'
sober, temperate and reasonable. Ana tley
are americans to the backbone. They be-
lieve in this country, for this is the only one
that never has Disseminated against them
They are more sturdy in the support OF the
country and its institutions than the native
BORN citizens. New York has no better class
of citizens than the jews.

a GOOD spring business? Well, the promise
is being fulfilled. The merchants are com

Tie Connecticut election promises to be
as sharply contested As that in New Hamp-
shire. Gen. Hawley, Messrs Blaine, Hoar,
Frye, Burrows and other Republican ora
tors are speaking almost every night.
Representative Lamar, fresh from his
stumping service in New Hampshire, has re-
ceived good-natured invitation from Post
master General Jewell to go to Connecticut
for the Democrats, believing that such
visit would help the Republicans.
II it should be found feasible to take the
Republican nominee for President from
New England, the choice in the convention
will doubtless be between Mr.. Blaine and
Gen. Hawley, either of whom would make
q splendid President. The New York hide
pendent says % 1t is too soon to discuss
the question of candidates for the next Presi-
dency yet when the time comes, James G.
Blaine will be at least one Of the persons,
and probably the most prominent, that will
attract the attention Of the Republican par
ty." 1t adds - We know Of no one who
would be more likely to unite the party or
secure the general confidence Of the country.

ment have borne the test of time He has

stock holder in the road. Gen. S. j. Ander-
son, president of the Portland division. and
Hon. G. W. Hepdee, director OF the YER

plan in view. Ii was urged, though bonds
of the different links OF the line are not ne
eotiable in London, bonds of the consolida-

existing bonds. The advantage to the
stockholders would be that the road would

Jay Gould has once more astoniShei Wall
street. lie has gobbled the Pacific Rail
roads,aal tie Pacific Mail and controls these
two immense corporations as surely As Tom
Scott controls the Pennsylvania Central.
While Congress was sashing inso Pacific
Mail he was buying it. stock Congress
was blasting the reputation o! the mlnaser-,
who probably doseryed it, but whether they
did or not, Mr.. Jay Gould made the mos; Of
his opportunity The stock wen; down to
his Ggure and he bought it in in great ldmps
Now Jay Gould turns up with not only the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company, with It,
twenty-iour steamers, in his hand, but he
has his claw on the Pacific Railroad Nr-
tualiy, this little reticent man runs a line Of
road across the continent, and the only
steamship connections with and supple
mental to it That Is to say, he cosirols
the only means Of communication between
America. japan and China And lie has
tou- this 50 -lyly. 81 silently, that 10 QUO
knew Of it till it was ACCOMPLISHED
Gould Is a sinart man. Do you remember
The furious discussion in Congress this win
Ter upon the proposition to establish Il Gov
eInmental telegraph? We'll, Mr. Jay Gould
brought that about TheW Western onion is the
great strong company, and the Atlantic y
Pacific i weak. Jay ttould held large stock
III the latter. and he wanted the former.
Any proposition Of Government telegraph
stab- the Western Union and strengthens
the Atlantic and Pacific :, Mr. Gould's
friend in Congress, whoever he il. made
an assault on the Western Union. and
the effect was Is he anticipated. Down
went the Western Union, and up went At
lantic q Pacific With one hand Gould
sold Atlantic and Pacific, and with the other
he bought " estern Union. and when be
had enough OF the one and little enough O.:
the other, the discussion was stopped ia
Congress and the Western Union was per
mitted to 20 on IL is said that ky this one
operation he made two millions of dollars
1t is a rather smart man who can make
catspaw Of Congress and the press-who can
make them serve him when they think they
are serving the country.
Personally Gould is slender built, spare
man, about ) feet inches in height, with
face covered with full black beard He
never smiles, nor does his face ever show any
emotion. ! don't believe it would have a
shadow over it if he should hear of the sud
den death Of his mother-in-law lie is a
tireless worker, and on his way to a success
he never stops. He treads over the dead
bodies Of his friends just the same as he
does over the dead bodies Of his enemies
He is the embodiment of selishness Sue
cessful now. he will unquestionably die L
poor man. BY and by he will meet Il man
just like himself, only younger and more au-
dacious, and down he will 90. 1t is law
Of nature and good one.
