THE JEWS OFBENJAm1N, IND OTHERS

Some scholars, who have investigated
the problem offered by the two types
above mentioned, think that the Jew as
we know him in Europe and America is
not the direct descendant of the Jews of
Jerusalem of the time of Herod, and that
the true offspring of the latter is the per-
son of the light hair and straight nose
who is occasionally to be found in Jeru-
salem to-day. Until this theological
problem is settled, shall most certainly
withhold my feeble contributions for the
restoration" of the persons at present
doing business under the name of Jews
among the western nations.
But we saw another type of Jew, or
rather another variety, in this quarter.
He called himself of the tribe of Benia-
min, and is, I think, the most unpleasant
human being | have ever encountered.
Every man who supposes himself of this
tribe wears a dark, corkscrew, stringy
curl hanging down each side of his
face, and the appearance of nasty effemi-
macy which this gives can not be de-
scribed. The tribe of Benjamin does not
figure well ir sacred history,--it was
left-handed; it was pretty much exter-
minated by the other tribes once for an
awful crime it was held from going
into the settled idolatry of the kingdom of
Israel only by its contiguity to Judah,
but it was better than its descendants,
if these are its descendants.
More than half of the eight thousand
Jews in Jerusalem speak Spanish as
their native tongue, and are the offspring
OF those expelled from Spain by Ferdin-
and. Now and then, l do not know
whether it was Spanish or Arabic, we
saw a good face, a noble countenance,
fine Oriental and venerable type, and
occasionally, looking from a window,
Jewish beauty; but the most whom we
met were debased, mis,begotten, the
of sin, squalor, and bad living.

PANIC IN MINNESOTA.

The disaster 70 Clusters expedition
naturally caused some uneasiness in the
regions of the country near the Sioux
reservation in Dakota, and this Uneasi-
ness in some of the border counties of
Minnesota developed the proportions of
panic, Settlers in Murray, Douglass,
Grant and other sparsely settled counties
focked to the villages and more densely
populated districts, and all sorts of wild
rumors prevailed. The people of these
counties are new settlers, wholly I'M
familiar with Indians, and they natur-
ally class the friendly Indians of the
Dakota reservation with the wild savages
of the plains. To dispel this groundless
panic governor Pillsbury, several days
ago, sent agents to all parts of the exposed
front to examine into the facts of the
cause. These agents have now nearly all
reported, and show the Undergraduates,
ness of the alarm. The Indians are all
perfectly peaceabIe and peaceably dis
posed. The most exaggerated stories
wore easily traced to very small founda.
tions. A band of Pipestone Chippewas,
on their annual pilgrimage to the Pipe
stone quarry, nearly depopulated Muir
ray county; the imagination of tele-

4 squad of villagers gathering blue-ber-

rontier points, to whom governor Pills
oury has distributed arms, not because
here was the slightest cause to antici-
pate their need, but to aid in allaying
he fever of excitement prevailing. The

tired effect, and the settlers are gene

A CURE FOR INEBRLETY AND ALCO-
HOLTSM.

A correspondent of the St. Louis Globe.
Democrat writing from the Hot Spring.
of Arkansas of the healing thermal wa
tiers there, says: "The benefit to the race
is beyond any calculation. In the first
place, the confirmed inebriate can be
cured. These hot waters destroy his
thirst for rum and make it repulsive to
him. To the credit of the numerous
physicians here, be it said, that they in
variably recommend their patients to
abstain from alcoholic drinks or malt
beverages. One man, who has been a
hard drinker for fifty years, and whose
infrmity had become such a disease that
nothing could prevent his procuring rum,
told me this story. Said he: II have
lived all my life in Tennessee. In my
early life l was gay and festive, caring
for nothing but society and all the ex-
elements it produced. Before I was
twelve years old I learned to drink wine,
and before was fourteen I had liking
for whisky. By the time was twenty.
one had been drunk hundreds of times
and engaged in scores of rows, some of
which resulted so seriously that men
were slaughtered by the pistol and the
knife. l married early and treated my
family badly. All the while my thirst
TOR rum increased, and every sacrifice of
property, clothing, precious gifts to my
wife and children, and other sacred
things, was made to obtain a jug of
whisky. Sometimes l got the best, but
in later years oftener the very worst kind
of whisky. Everything we had in the
world was spent for corn Suice. Wife
and children died from broken hearts and |
neglect, and I became a miserable out
cast through londness for rum. Four
months ago an old friend sent me here, |
and now I am cured entirely, and posi-
lively despise the taste of rum more than
| ever loved it. These waters alone have
cured me, and on Saturday l will return
to Tennessee and try to live a sober
man" The recital of this poor victims
story was touching in the extreme, and
| repeat it to you in the hope that others,
afflicted in the same way, may learn the
remedy for their whisky troubles.

SNORT SENTENCES.

Short phrases have ever, been the most
powerful and beautiful mediums of con-
veying thought. They are simplicity
itself-and simplicity is beauty. Easily
understood, no study is required to grasp
their meaning. A prophetic politician
makes a declaration respecting govern
ment, and the people soon catch the
spirit and confirm the declaration. Re
suits from such praises may not be imme-
date, but the words 60 sounding on until
the work is accomplished. Short phrases
are comprehensive, and sometimes con-
tain whole volumes Caesars veni, vidi,
