PEERS OF HEBREW ORIG1N.-Mr.
Disraeli is not the first English peer of
Hebrew origin. The London Theolog-
ical Review contains an essay on ''The
Jews in England" by the Rev. Phillip
Magnus, B. A., B. Sc. Mr.. Magnus
gives the following account of the origin
of well known noble family in Eng
land: "Among the men who very early
amassed considerable fortunes may be
mentioned the first Jewish Baronet, Sir
Solomon Medina, who accompanied the
Duke of Marlborough in his several
campaigns, and Samson Gideon, the
Jew broker, who appears to have been
sufficiently lucky or sagacious to have
escaped the consequences of the crisis
that followed the South Sea bubble.
The descendants of both these men have
been absorbed in the Christian world.
Samson Gideon, whose real name was
Samson de Rehuel Abudiente, left the
synagogue in 1854, and his son who mar
ried Christian lady, was raised to the
peerage under the title of Baron Eardley,
and was the ancestor, on the female side,
of the family now bearing that name.

SOLID DINNER.-Some of the hotels
have bills of fare with the f1y-leaf Gov
cred with cards of various business
houses. An Oregon man recently took
a seat behind one of them, when a wal
ter appeared with "What will you have,
sir?" To the utter confusion of the
waiter, he leisureIy remarked: "You
may fetch me a new set of teeth, in gut
ia percha; an improved sewing machine,
with patent lock-stitch, box of Bran
dreth's pills, and pair of number sew
en- French calf-skin boots" In a mo-
ment the waiter replied: eve do not
furnish those articles" Then what the
devil you got it on the bill of fare for?'
retorted the customer.

of them has done deed of open-handed
generosity that is indeed sublime.

JEKYLL's JOKES Erskine, says the
New Quarterly Magazine, who was al
ways very fond of talking about him
self, was once panegyrising his own hui
mainly. "For instance" said he,
''there is my dog, I wish it to be happy
in this life and wish to be happy in
the other. Like the indian, L wish that
wherever I may go, my faithful dog
shall bear me company" "And con-
founddely unlucky dog he would be,
muttered Jekyll.
Erskine, when at the bar, once COM
planned to Jekyll that he had pain in
his bowels, for which he conld get no
relief 'Ill give you an infallibie spe-
ific," said Jekyll. ''Get made Attorney
General, my friend, and then you'll
have no bowels at all. !"
ssI hear" said friend, that our friend
Smith, the attorney. is dead, and leaves
scarcely any effects. lit could scarce
ly be otherwise, said Jekyll, che had so
few causes"
An attorney named Else, rather dim
inutive in his stature, and not particu-
larly respective in his character once
met Jekyn. s'Sir," said he, ST hear you
have called me pettifogging scoundrel.
Have you done so, sir, - 81 never said
you were a pettifogger, or q scoundrel;
but I said you were little Else"
Jeklly could be coarse and imperti-
nent enough at times. A Welsh judge,
| notorious for his greed of Office and his
want of personal cleanliness, was once
complaining of being neglected. ''My
dear sir" said Jekyll, in his most amia-
BILE tones, you have asked the Minis
ter for almost everything else, why
don't you ask him for piece of soap
and % nail brush?"

The Sneak.Thief in Politics.

The Democratic statesmen" of New
York are not strangers to grand larceny.
They have stolen a municipality, wasted its
revenues, and plundered its treasury. They
nave stolen state, and, admonished by their
punishment for former thievery, administered
its affairs fairly well. Encouraged by their
success, they, in league with certain free
riders and sportsmen of the South, have
taken bolder steps and become highwaymen,
seizlng whole districts in that section and
demanding of the inhabitants their votes or
their lives. The plan worked we'll there and
the band, flushed with triumph, determined
to steal the Presidency. In New York grand
larceny was practiced. In the South the
method of the highwayman was resorted to.
But the scheme of robbery failed, owing to
the blundering way in which the men en-
trusted with the task of waylayng Louisiana
On her road to the polls did their work. For
time the band of robbers lost all hope, but
an opportunity offered to capture vote in
far Western state by the method of the
sneak thief, method admirably adapted to
the cunning and cautious mind of their Chief
and they seized upon it.
Fortunately, stealing the Presidency is
crime which the people of this country will
never permit to be committed with impunty.
The Democratic claim to one electoral vote
in Oregon is so monstrously absurd, so
entirely opposed to all justice, so fragrant
violation of the rights of the people, that it
will not be allowed to pass unchallenged.
The Portland daily press., 1876-12-08

1.-The Republicans are proving the charges OF
violence, murder,1 and intimidation in the
five bull-dozed parishes straight out. The
revelations are horrible. 1t is not worth
while to try to deny or cover up the facts,
however disgraceful to Humanity they may
be. Sworn testimony shows that the par
ishes werescarried by murder, assassination.
whippings and the establishment of reign
of terror 1 have been skeptical as to there
having been as much violence and intimida-
tion in the disputed parishes as charged by
the Republicans, but am fast being con-
viIced. The testimony brought out in the
sworn statements Of witnesses, convinces me
that the reign of terror has been equal to that
which the Republicans have charged. Here
are names, details and specifications given
with startling distinctness. If the men re-
ported dead are still alive, where are they !?
Why are they not brought forward in refuta-
tion? The trouble about these stories is that
they are mainly true. There was a reign of
terror, and the election was carried by mur-
dering men for opinions sake'
