MACAULAY ON THE JEWS.

From Speech in Parliament)
We never fail to plead in justifca~
ton of persecution the vices this very
persecution has engendered. England
has been to the Jews less than half a
country, and we revile them because
they do not feel for England more than
half a patriotism. We treat them as
slaves, and wonder that they do not re-
gard us as brethren. We drive them to
mean occupations, and then reproach
them for not embracing honorable pro.
fessions. We long forbade them to pos
sess land, and we complain that they
chiefly occupy themselves in trade. We
shut them out from all the paths of am
bition, and then we despise them for
taking refuge in avarice. During many
ages we have in all our dealings with
them abused our immense superiority of
force, and then we are disgusted because
they have recourse to that cunning which
is the natural and universal defense of
the weak against the violence of the
strong. But were they always mere
money.getting, money-changing, money,
boarding racer Nobody knows better
than my honorable friend from Oxford,
that there is nothing in their national
character which units them for the high
est duties of citizens. He knows that, in
the infancy Of civilization, when our
island was as savage as New Guinea,
when letters and arts were still unknown
to Athens, when scarcely a thatched hut
stood on what was afterwards the site of
Rome, this condemned people had their
fenced cities and cedar palaces, their
splendid temple, their fleets of merchant
ships, their schools of sacred learning,
their great statesmen and soldiers, their
natural philosophers, their historians
and poets. What nation ever con-
tended more manfully against over
whelming odds for its independence and
religion What nation ever in its last
agonies, gave such signal proofs of what
may be accomplished by brave des-
pair? And if, in the course of many
centuries. the oppressed descendants Of
warriors and sages have degenerated
from the qualities of their fathers; if,
while excluded from the blessings oflaw,
and bowed down under an oppressive
yoke, they have contracted some vices,
shall we consider this as matter of re-
proach to them? Shall we not rather
consider it a matter of shame and re-
morse to ourselves? ? Let us do justice
to them. Let us open to them the House
of Commons. Let US open to them every
career in which ability can be displayed.
Till we have done this, let us not pre-
sumo to say there is no genius among
the countrymen of Isaiah, no heroism
among the descendants Of Maccabees.

a CURIOUS STEAMBOAT.

A little steamboat has Just arrived at
New York from Baltimore which was
propelled the entire distance between the
two cities without wheel or screw. She is
called the Alpha, and in outward appear
ance resembles the tug boats which ply
in the harbor. Her length is forty. three
feet, BEEN ten and half feet, and depth
about eight feet. She is supplied with
sixteen~horse power tubular boiler, which
drives pump. From the pump to the
stern and bow of the vessel are two lines
of pipe which strike the water about
three feet below the surface. The pump
drives through each pipe a two and a
half inch stream, which enters the water
through a seven.eighth inch nozzle.
With sixty pounds of steam the pump
makes one hundred and eighty strokes
minute, each stroke driving a stream
into the outer body of water. The in
vention is the result of many years of
study, and it is asserted that it can be
applied to ocean steamships with success.
In moving through the water there is no
ripple astern and but slight displacement
perceptible except at the bow. BY shut
ting off the discharge from the stern
pipes and forcing the water through the
bow pipes the boat is backed and by
using one bow and one stern pipe she
can be turned in her own length. The
power can also be used to
steer the boat, the nozzles being used
alternately as levers on the principle Of
the oar. The boat consumes but quar-
ter of a ton of coal per day, and is con-
sidered 10 be well adapted for the use of
canals

ISLANDS OF LAKE ERIE.

The islands of Lake Erie are becoming
more and more places of public resort.
Not until within very short period has
public attention been directed to them as
offering inducements to pleasure seekers
and to business men who wish to take
short tip for the benefit of their health
and recreation. They are now visited by
thousands, when few years since but
few hundred were seen there. Steamers
daily leave Cleveland, Sandusky and To
ledo, crowded with passengers. The
Pearl from Cleveland took up on Tuesday
three hundred passengers and on Thurs
day six hundred. These passengers were
left at Kelley's Island, Bass Island, but
the major part at Put-in-Bay Island. On
Kelley Island there has been a large ad-
dition built to the hotel, which can now
accommodate several hundred guests.
Put.in.Bay has very extensive hotel ac-
commodations, and are well filed. Tie
scenery surrounding the Islands is ex-
tensive and decidedly beautiful.

rendered into English, from the charaC-

tally precisely with the statements of
Holy Writ. But for the wonderful eyes

physical combinations of the truth of
divine history would never have been

THE KENT UCKY OUTLA WS.

The campaign in Eastern KentuCy has
been brought to an end for the present by
the capture of the stronghold of the I'm
derwoods, with three members of the
family. They are all badly wounded.
Troops surrounded the place at an early
hour this morning, having marched from
Olive Hill. 1t was understood that there
were eighteen stalwart men, fortified in
log house, and supplied with provision
and ammunition, but upon demand be-
ing made for the surrender of the place
it was discovered that all but three of the
outlaws had escaped and taken to the
mountains. The three captured were
taken to Grayson, the county seat. Un-
less the troops remain and pursue the
band until at least the ring leaders are
taken, the campaign will have accom-
plished but little good. The desperadoes
are strong and well equipped, but as soon
as the military is removed they will
again defy the local authorities. Not less
than eight or ten men have been shot
since the late trouble began, and several
of them killed. The shooting on both
sides has been done from ambush. Much
excitement still prevails in Carter and
the surrounding counties.
