THE JEWS.

1t is curious, not to say amusing, to
see how people resent the introduction
of the Jewish element into George
Ellot's last great story. That the
Jews killed Christ is the principal
thing that many excellent Christians
remember about that extraordinary
race. They forget that the race also
gave birth to Christ. That Christ
should be killed by any people among
whom he might appear was inevitable,
and had to do with human nature at
large. The exceptional and marvel
GUS thing, speaking secularly, was his
production. There can be no reply to
the tremendous retorl of the Israeite
upon whom the Christian had spat-
that half Christendom worship u Jew,
and the other halt Jewess. Says
Matthew Arnold: GAS well imagine Ii
man with a sense tor sculpture not
cultivating it by the help of the re-
mains OF Greek art, or man with
sense for poetry not cultvating it by
the help of Hosmer and Shakespeare,
as a man with. a sense for cor
duct not cu,tivating it by the help
of the Bible" "Greece was the
litter-up to the nations of the banner
of art and science, as Israel was the
lfter-up Of the banner OF righteous
ss."-['The Old Cabinet t." Scrib-
ner for November.

deem it my duty to veto every bill
providing for tie assumption or pay
ment of any such debts, losses, DANA
ges, claims, or Tor the refunding ofany

The danger to the National Treas
ury is not from the claims of persons
who aided the rebellion, but from
claims Of persons residing in the
Southern States, or having property
in those States, who were or pretend
ed to be, or who, for the sake of aid
ing claims, now pretend to have been
loyal to the Government of the Union.
Such claims, even of loyal persons,
where they are from acts caused by
the operations of the war, have been
disowned by the public law of civil
lied nations, condemned by the adju-
dicatlons of the Supreme Court Of the
United States, and only find any stat
us force Of specific Legislation of Con.
gress. These claims have become
stale, and are often tainted with fraud.
They are nearly always owned, in
whole or in part, by.claim agents, by
speculator or lobbyists, who have no
equity against the taxpayers or the
public. They should in all cases be
scrutinized with jealous care.
The calamities to individuals which
were inflicted by the late war are, for
the most part, irreparablc. The Gov
ernmcnt canuot recall to life the mil
lion Of our youth who went to untime-
ly graves, nor compensate the suffer
ir rs or sorrow of their relatives or
friends. 1t cannot readjust between
individuals the burdens of taxation
hitherto borne, or of debts incurred to
sustain the Government which are yet
to be paid. 1t cannot apportion anew
among our citizens the damages or
losses incident to military operations
or resulting, in every variety OF form,
from its measures for maintaining its
own existence. 1t has no safe general
rule but to let by-gones be by cones
to turn from the dead past to a new
and better future, and on that basis to
assure peace, reconciliation and fra
ternity between all sections, classes
and races Of our people, TO the end
that all the springs of our productive
industries may he quickened and
new prosperity created, In which the
evils ofthe past shall be forgotten.

the general cultivation of art-we have
simply to refer him to the dinner
service from which he takes his food,
after reading this article. There are
ninety nine chances in a hundred that
it came from China or Europe ; and
we have simply to say that in either
case there is no general knowledge OF
art in this country, sufficient to pro-
duce the decorations upon it. lfil is
French and expensive, American art
has no more power to produce it than
it has to produce the Chinese. We
do not know enough to make these
decorations, and if we could succeed
in Il clumsy imitation of them, we
could design nothing new, This is
an illustration simply. Our tables,
our rooms, our wardrobcs, abound IN
articles which we ought to make our
selves, but which we never can make
until, by thorough instruction and
patient practice, great multitude of
American men and women have be-
come artists. 1t is this which gives
the ..highest practical significance to
the art exhibition at Philadelphia, and
makes the public interest in it and era
in the national life and development.
To us it is the most hopeful and prom
ising of all the possible results of the
Great Exhibition. - DIR. ]. G. Ho|,

The Republican Forty-third Con-

The Republican Forty-third Con-
gress passed s6,COO,OOo OF the Radical
Ring Southern War Claims. The
Democratic House OF the Forty.thlrd
Congress rejected all these swindlins
claims, and passed only $4,000 of
war claims ofall kinds. Where the Re
publicans passed claims of one hund.
red dollars, the Democrats approved
of them only to the extent OF one
dollar and fifty cents. This is the
reason why the radicals raise the howl
about Southern claims. They own
these claims, and know that IN Re
publican success lie the only hope OF
their collection.

American Art Industries.


There must infallibly come, with
the universal cultivation OF art and the
nourishment of the art feeling, a
change in our industries, or, rather,
very broad enlargement Of them We
are now manufacturers OF hats, shoes,
cotton cloth, iron, woolens, and a
limited amount of silks for service,-
of sewings more particularly. We
eau build ships, too, with sufficient
motive, and machinery of all sorts,
from Waltham watch to the largest
steam-engine but of beautiful things
we make very few, and these mainly
in imitation of those which we i'm
port. Now, there is nothing in our
national economy so desirable as the
diversifcation OF our industry, We
see what other nations have done IN
the exhibition of the Main Building,
and by trying hard we could probably
initiate the products which so arouse
our admiration. That, precisely, is
what we do not want to do. That
would never help us, except tempor-
arily and in mean way. 1t is curl
GUS to see how the people themselves,
by a sort of blind instinct, have plung-
ed to the bottom of the secret. There
must be cultivation of, art from the
beginning-there munst be education
in the perception and delmiation of
forms and the combination of colors,
before we can hope TO do any original
work, in the way Of making our own
beautiful things. Our foreign cousins
would send us new forms while we
were intimating their ole ones---new
forms conceived in a fundamental
knowledge of art to which we could
lay 10 claim.
So, at the very basis Of all the
beautiful industries that are so de
sirable to us rs a nation, there must be
laid popular knowledge of art. We
must have drawing completely taught
in our common schools, everywhere
E We must have art schools for those
who in the common schools have
shown special gifts and adaptations
for art. Thus, by beginning at th'
bottom. all those industries which in
volve the fine art element will natur
ally grow up among us, based upo1
our own designs In truth, there i
no other ground upon which thes
very desirable industries Can be e.
tablished and we beg the America
people to recognize the TACT tiat III
cultivation of art is to result in some
thing far beyond the picture tina
hangs on the wall, and the statue tina
fills the niche ;-it IS to result in tn

ducing articles of ornament which w

At lonely inn among the pines
sit alone in the firellght's glow,
Losing myself In the backlog's mines,
And hearing the night.wiud come and 60.
And now it threatens, and now it grieves,
Pleads at the Intel, or slams blind;
Now it prowls, sullen about the eaves'--
This protean, bitter autumn wind.
freely it swoops on the doorsidc yew,
Az a vulture drops upon its prey ;
And now in the throat of the sooty hue
hear it howl, like beast at bay.
Now it flies shrieking across the downs,
And nov, like ghost, it whispers me
Of people starving to death in towns
And of wrecks thousand leagues at sea

How TO KEEP BoUQUETs FREsH.-
There are various recipes for keeping
bouquets fresh. Some people stick
them in moist sand; som" salt the
water in the vases, and others warm
it others, again, use few drops OF
ammonia. My rule is to cool the
flowers thoroughly at night. When
the long day Of furnace heat has made
the roses droop and their stems limp
and liteless, / clip them a little, and
set them to float in Il marble basin full
of very cold water. In the morning
they come out made over into crisp
beauty, as fresh and blooming as if
just gathered. All flowers, however,
will not stand this water-cure. Hello
trope blackens and falls to pieces I'M
der it; azaleas drop from their stems,
and migonette soaks away its trag-
rance. For these use dry, cold air.
I wrap them in cotton wool, and set
them on n shelf in the ice chest
can almost hear you laugh, but really
am not joking. Flowers thus treat
ed keep perfectly for week with me,
and often longer.-[S. c., in st. Mich
