New YORK, June %. 1877.
To the Editor of the Free Press and Times
The great sensation in New York, just
now, is the action of Judge Hilton, the rep
resentatiye of the Stewart estate, in ex-
GLIDING the Jews from the Grand Union
hotel at Saratoga. To say that there was
storm would be to put it very mildly. Be it
known that the Jews are enormously wealthy
in New York. and are, moreover, numerous.
They are the largest bankers and among the
largest merchants, and they control the the
atrical and operatic business. There was a
buzzing among them, and newspaper war
Of vast dimensions was the result. Judge
Hilton gave as his reason for his action that
any hotel was ruined the moment it became
known as a Jew house, for the reason that
the Jews are all loud, coarse, obtrusive and
filthy. lie said they would get rooms at the
lowest possible rates, and smuggle into them
all their visitors that they were filthy in
their habits,-in short, he wouldn't have
them about at any price. On the other
hand, the jews insist that they are as quiet
and centlemanly as any other class, that
they pay their bills and have right to all
accommodation that other people have.
And the Jews of the United States are
Withdrawing their trade from Stewards and
there is a war rivaling in bitterness the one
raging in Europe. 1t is true that there
is a class Of Jews of the kind
Judge Hilton describes. Many bank
er now worth his millions and
living in gorgeous style, came into the city
with his pack on his back, and made his
commencement in the alleys and by-ways.
Manners don't come with money, and it is
not to be expected that such man should
possess all the graces of good society. His
daughters, dress they ever so well, will be
vulgar, and his sons, no matter how large
the diamonds they wear, will be nothing
but snobs. Such are doubtless disagreeable
at hotels, and are not to be desired. But
it is true, on the other hand, that there are
thousands of Jews who have both wealth
and manners, and who are as well grounded
in all that makes the gentleman and lady
as anybody. Hilton made a mistake in re-
jecting the Jews as race. The people
will not brook a line so drawn. Class
distinctions are ont of place in this country,
and forty Judge Hiltons with forty times
the Stewart estate back of them, cannot
make them. 1t will kill the trade of the
Stewart establishment, and will hurt the
Grand Union Hotel For whether one likes
Jews or not, fair play is the jewel.

Townsend, Tweed's attorney, publishes a
tremendous arrangement of Fairchild, the
Attorney-General. Townsend claims that
let him 90 if he would make clean breast
of it; that Tweed did so promise and stood
ready to give information that would have
saved the State two millions, and would
have brought the whole gang to justice; but
that Fairchild, in the interest of John Kelly
and to smirch the reputation Of certain men,
used such portions Of what Tweed confded
to him as would serve his purpose, and
then refused to let him 90 on the
score that his testimony is worth
nothing The true inwardness of it all is
that Tweed is about as honest as thousand
more who arc in both parties. There is q
very wide spread dread Of seeing him on the
stand, which is probably the reason why he
is kept in duress. There are Republicans
who took Tweed's money, in fact his
gigantic frauds could not have been carried
out without bel p from the Republican party,
and they are shaking in theit shoes. There
are plenty Of Democrats whom the public
esteem who are spotted with it, and there is
a widespread unessiness that Tweed, when
he docs get on the stand, will prove bull
in China shop and kick over great many
very pretty kettles of fish. No one knows
whom the old man will strike when he gets
within striking distance, and there are
hundreds who do not want him to have a
chance to hit. As it stands, the prosecution
has been an absurd farce No one has been
punished but Tweed, and he is no worse
than the rest of them. Sweeney gets of by
paying back about twentieth of what he
stole, and lngersoll was out within few
weeks Of the time he went in, and the rest
of the gang have never been hurt particle
The prosecutions have cost the city four
times as much as was ever realized from the
thieves by restitution, and so absurd has it
become that the moral effect of Tweed's i'm
prisonment is gone. For, owing to Fair
child's treatment of the case and the skilful
manipulation of his attorneys, Tweed is now
looked upon as a martyr. and is more ptied
than blamed II is sad ending New
York il in as bad hands to-day as it was
when Tweed reigned, and is entering upon
another term Of fraud and corruption. The
twenty millions that the big ring stole, only
served to whet the appetite Of those who got

The Meriden Conn Republican tells
this story: zone cold morning last
week DR.. Wilson drove up to a house
on Crown street, and left his horse
without hitching it. The horse waited
a few moments, and his master not re-
turning, he began to dance n double
shuttle, presumably TO get his feet
warm. Finding this rather monoto-
nous, he started up toward Olive street,
keeping up n kind of Kentucky break
down. When he had gone several rods
he cramped the buggy back, and turned
round as neatly as though guided by II
skillful driver. and pranced back to the
hi~tching-post. Here he waited about
five minutes, and then started toward
Main street, going through several
kinds of PAGES. Near the corner he
stopped and turned round as skillfully
as before, and frightened n boy who
had tried to stop him, almost ont of his
wits, by pursuing said boy with open
mouth and bent-hack ears, as though
his usual habit was to eat every small
boy that Inc came across. He then con
tinued his antics until he had reached
the house where he had been left, and
when DIR. Wilson came out he was
standing at the ~hitching-post, as de-
murely as though he had never thought
of leaving it,"

AN affecting reunion of II long-es-
tranged husband and wife took place
at Manchester, Va, Il short time since.
Many years ago a young man fell ont
with his wife, u beautiful girl of Is
years and abruptly left her and their
little child. lie wandered over many
lands, never communicating with his
home, but still the deserted wife re-
manned faithful to her truant husband.
In the meantime the little girl died,
and every evening the hcart-broken
mother would visit her grave and give
way to her grief for hours together.
A few days ago the long-lost husband
returned and sought at once the grave
of his child. There bending gel it
was n well-known figure dr3ped in
black; the mutual recognition was in
slant, and without a word or a pause
the reconciled pair were clasped in each
others arms.

whoa Emma

Perhaps you have heard of the new
Music Hall song which has a chorus
with a shout of ssWhoa, Emma" 1t
seems to be a tuneless yelp, il l can
gather any idea of it from the braying
of the street boys. The words of the
song are such that it is not likely to be
seen on piano fortes in peoples draw
ing rooms; and it is said that George
LeybourRe, the ''lion comique" has got
himself into serious trouble with the
authorities by making use Of doggerel
verses of a character which the French,
when trying to write English, speak of
as tres schocking. But it is strange
what a hold the ejaculatory "Whoa,
Emmal'' has taken on the street Arabs,
and even on men of the lower class.
Occasionally it is used by q carter or
cabman as a warning cry to get out of
the way, in place Of the long popular

Climate Changed by Cultivation.

There is a general belief throughout
our Western country that marked
changes in climate are consequent upon
the settlement of a region, and that, in
fact, these changes become perceptible
within a few years whenever a railroad
is laid through u new country. MI.
marlborough, an explorer of note, adds
to the evidence in favor of this notion,
by his observations in Australia. Keep
ing sheep is no longer so profitable there
as it used TO be, but on the other hand,
large tracts of land that were worthless
before, have latterly become fit for agri-
culture. There is a decided increase of
forests and Of moisture in parts of Aus
tralia, giving hope that eventually the
whole interior desert may be reclaimed.
The direct effect of sheep raising Las
been to keep down tie tall grass which
formerly afforded material for des-
tructive fires. The trees, young and
old, had been periodically burnt by
these fires, until the country becoming
almost treeless, its climate had been
rendered arid and its soil sterile. If
the facts in Australia can be esrab-
lished, they will afford the most re-
markable instance yet recorded of
climate being modified by the labors
and surroundings Of civilized man.
