.tCHRmr K1LsR."-In this goodly
tswnS otiong ssinoe; 20 little gffl OF Hes
brew parentage, on returning home from
school, said:
Gather, what is the meaning of
Christ -hlier?lp k"R " IN
the parent. y q :. s
'sbecauss, while one9 of the girls was
angry with me, to.dayijsh called me q
little Christ killer" y Is &
tits needless to say to the reader that
volumes are embrnced in that incident.
It illustrates in tones unmistakable, the
impudence and injustice of thousands in
this. land of, civil and religious liberty.
It illustrates the blindness of TINT igno-
rancc which fails to realize the true cha
racter and the true history of the He
brew -peopies It ignores the lights Of
history. Omitting NIL allusion to the
grand tenets of Christianity, in which we
are humble but sincere believers, it sinks
into oblivion of prcjudiced ignorance,
the grand truths of Hebrew history for
1875 years. It fails to grnpple with the
sublime truth that to the Jewish race,
more than any other source, we are in
debted for the preservation of history,
learning nnd letters during the centu-
ries of the dark nges-that to that race in
Spain, through hundreds of years, civili-
zation owes its preservation, and other
mountains high in the long road from
barbarian to wealth, elegance and re-
finement. It spits upon the fact that
Jewish beggars and Jewish drunknrds
are rare as diamonds. It refuses to know
that the Jewish poor never, in any coun-
try on earth, became charge to the
public. 1t forgets that for 1875 years
jews have, with rare exceptions, been q
prescribed and prosecuted race to the
end of the earth, and yet, that today
they ore low givers in the most enlight-
ened, prosperous and liberal countries
Of the world It refHses to acknowledge
that the Jews have all this time been the
friends of humanity, the patrons of
learning, Of science, of commerce, of
liberty.
Despite the jibes and fings of un-
thinking men, women and children, no
in shame by fair comparison with any
other race. ga nation without coun-
try" they have done as much, and are
now doing as much, the world over, as
any other nation, to break down the bat
Elements of hate, and spread over the
world the spirit of peaceful intercourse
and true humanity. The American
Mason Of to-day may 60 to any Masonic
lodge to the uttermost parts of the earth
and enter the portals of that great en-
bodiment of benevolence, and there, as
q friend and brother, tried and true,
he will find the jew. Go into the street
seeking aims for the distressed, and the
last man to soy nay will be the Jew.
These thoughts rushed upon us on
hearing the incident above related, and
we felt the blush of sorrow tingle our
cheek. It is sad to renlize that at this
age mere thoughtless prejudice is
allowed to sway the judgments of our
children in matters SO sternly appealing
to our sense of justice and our know
ledge. How much better to pluck the
beam from their own eyes and leave the
mote in the eyes of others?

The Troy Times, too, pretending that
NIL the hate comes from the South, puts
in its malignant thrust at the dying
form of John G. Breckinridge. So does
the Hartford Post; while Senator Nor
toms organ at Indianapolis fairly exudes
with indecent venom. When Lee died,
the conduct of the Government and the
temper of the Radical press were mean
lin the last degree, and therefore we need
expect nothing but Il similar outburst of
ggaltry ggaUa rage when 1sa the. the breath leaves
God that this is not the spirit which
animates the generous masses of the
North. 1t is the expiring venom of the
party of hate and vengeance wreaking
its pusillanimous passion upon the de-
fenscless and the weak.

One of those prominent Southern
Republicans" has been writing to the
Chicago Tribune that the Southern peo-
pie are preparing for another war, and
that the negroes will help them estab-
lish another Confederncy. He concludes
by relnarking that 'the only means to
prevent this is the maintenance of the
Republican pnrty South" The nbsurdity
OF this scheme is so apparent TINT the
Tribune itself says: "We publish these
views merely rs curiosities, md disuvow
any sympathy or respect for them"
President Grant announces that he
cannot attend the Bunker Hill celebra-
ton on the 18th prox. Naughty CORE
spondents insinuate that he is deferred
by the dread of being obliged to pay his
railroad fare, as on the occasion OF his
last visit to Massachusetts,. This is in
correct, however, US the Government
steamer Tallapoosa lies at the Washing
ton Navy Yard, and might be utilized.
That vessel is assigned the duty of carry

If the Republicans do not intend to
nominate Judge Taft for Governor, they
should talk about some other man.
Judge Taft is the only strong man, of
high character and real personal force to
put into campaign, whose name ap-
pears in the newspapers as possible
Republican candidate. Judge Taft might
be elected Governor. If nominated, he
would be power in the land. A small
political brigadier, who runs on skim-
milk diet, cannot beat Governor Allen.

TouoHENED GLAss.-The Paris CORES
'pondeff Of the E6iidon Nstos recently
wrote to that journal an account of some
toughened glass, known AH Rastie glass,
which has been exhibited sbafore. the. So

factures. Thin plates of the glass were
thrown on tiled floor, from height Of
nine feet, without being broken, and
were afterwards flung against the tails
with considerable force, but without I'm
jury. Some pieces were broken with
blows from a hammer, but there was an
entire absence of continuous cracks from
the fracture. Where tho hammer took
effect the glass lost adhesion and TRIMS
parency, and was reduced to granular
particles. No description was given of
the process whereby this glass is pro-
duced other than this: ''The resisting
temper of the Bastio glass is obtained by
means of chemical bath, to which it is
subjected when hot from tho furnace" :"
A patent has been taken out for the pro-
cess by the inventor, M. de In Bastie,
and II large building, to cost s625, 600, is
now being built for its manufacture. 1t
is snid that this malleable glnss can be
used for the manufacture Of frying-pans
and other cooking utensils, MS well as
for glass chimneys for lamps and gas
burners. .

Better Era Approaching.i
in n few months the nol;f;caI

timent of the country has very percepti-
bly, become more conciliatory and just
towards the Southern States, The in
crustation of bitter prejudice and hide
bound bigotry has been broken through,
and the last Congress, which assembled
ready TO go, to any extreme of so-called
legal expression, which has usually
meant persecution and oppression of the
South, rounded of, its action before ad-
journment with an exposition of tho
Louisiana frauds, with q defeat of the
nefarious Arkansas scheme, and with a
virtual reprobation of the use of force
in the modification of the Civil Rights
Bill, and in the rejection of the odious
force bill. Congress only acknowledged
what it couldNn longer deny. Public
opinion has, in large measure, liberated
itself from the control of hacks and po-
liticianH of the baser sort, who have
feasted and fourished in prejudice, and
made Lnerehandise and profit out of de-
traction. The people have burst through
the customary trnmmels, and under the
enlightened teachings and fearless e1-
posures Of the independent press have
moved on far beyond the hide-bodnd as
sooiations in which they.were held. This
advanced position of the masses has
made itself felt in Congress and even
reached the Cabinet of President Grant.
1t is because it is recognized that Attor-
ney-Genera1 Williams has been forced
into retirement. The new era requires
better men in responsible positions. In
cumbents of Office have to walk the
plank like Williams, or like Secretary
Bristow must show their faith by their
works. His pursuit of the abuses in his
department. of the internal revenue SCR
vice testifes to the quiet but decided re-
polution which is sweeping over the
country. The pressure against Dclano
has the same meaning.
We need not refer to the popular cleo
tions for confirmation of what we have
said. We have in view rather their eff
feet on the class which is hardest to move
in this country and the latest to recog-
nize any wholesome change. Office
holders are prone to take up the idea
that they are above the people, nre prac-
tically irresponsible and their powers
unlimited. Such is the official opinion
at Washington and everywhere until it is
rebuked and taught better-a lesson
which it is now conscious Of receiving
every day. In connection with this, the
anniversary of the great event which
heralded the separation of the American
colonies from the mother country and
resulted in their independence, is COM
ing like another sun, putting to fight
the evil birds of night, dissipating dark
ness and gloom, bringing light and joy
and healing in its wings. All feel the
awakening of new hopes, all look for the
return of long lost cordiality between
sections, races and parties.

The Grand Jury.

lne report OF the grand jury was read
by Mr.. LyBrand, yesterday, before the
Court. The 1nbors of this body have
been long, continued and earnest. It
has made u large number of present
ments. shouldering in one notable case
the responsibility which properly de-
volved upon the City Council. It might
have gone further in certain directions,
but it has done we'll and deserves the
thanks of the community. We are
pleased to learn that it has had an eye to
the country as we'll as the city, and re-
ports'the roads in improved condition.
It's recommendation to put prohibitory
tax on the retailing of Intoxicating liquor
IN the country is we'll worth considering,
and n similar measure, if it would only
diminish the vice of drinking here,
would be hailed with satisfaction by
most citizens of Columbia. The present
grand jury has made good beginning.
1t has important functions. We trust
that it will prove equal to their faithful
and fearless discharge when it's season of
activity comes round again in the fall.

BRAIN AND NERVE AcT1oN,-M. Helm
holtz claims to have ascertained, by most
carefully conducted experiments, that
sensations are transmitted to the brain
with a rapidity of about 1870 feet per
second, or at one-fifth the rate of sound,
and that this is nearly the same in all in
dlvidunls; also, that the brain requires
one-tenth of q second to transmit it's
orders to the nerves which preside over
voluntary motion, this amount varying,
however, much in different individuals,
and in the same individual at different
times, according to the disposition or the
condition OF the lime, and Ia more regu-
Lar the moro sustained the attention. M.
Helnholtz likewise finds that the time
required to transmit an order to the
muscles by the motor nerves is nearly
the same as that required by the nerves
OF sensation to pass Tsensation; more
over, 1t passes nearly one-hundredth of

A quiet game of draw, quarter ante,
was in progress, the other evening, Mt
Chicago. One of the party managed to
get heart flush. ace ut the head, out of
the deck, nnd laid it in his lap, waiting Il
chance to play it. Presently the chance
came. The guileless gentleman counted
out $40 better with one hand, and quietly
went down with the other hand for that
flush. 1t wasn't there. He hnd to play
his original hand. Two of tho party
called his $40 better, and one Of them in
the showdown produced the identical
heart flush thnt he had been Mt such
pains to secure. He knew it was the
same, for the ace was crimped just as he
had done it. The secret was, that Ira
Wetherbee's dog, "Patsey," had quietly
put his nose in, picked up the flush, car
ried it around to his friend, waggcd his
tail knowingly, and walked off
