In the present London small. pox
epidemic the remarkable fact has been
noticed that only one case Of this di-
sease has occurred among the Jewish
population. The same exemption from
epidemics has been noticed among the
Jews in al countries, and i attributed
to their way Of living, and particularly
to their abstinence from the use Of
pork and their care with which sound
and healthy animals are selected and
killed.

The second sight performance tina,
was, perhaps, originated by Rober,
Houdin, and has since been eIabora
ted by Anderson, Heller and other en-.
tertainers, is just now subject of dis.
cussion. Two persons only are con.
cerned in the trick-one who touches
articles among the audience, and one
who sits blindfoldcd on the stage and
tells what the articles are. Houdin il
his Memoirs, explains how the thing
is done. The information as to the ar.
ticles is conveyed by the performer
who touches them to the performer on
the stage by the words that he uses In
asking the questions. To do this an
extensive system Of phonetic language
is employed, involving long practice
and quickness Of understanding. The
proof of this theory is found in the
fact that the questions are put in diff
ferent forms, being brief when relat.
ing to articles common in all audi.
ences, and extended to considerable
dialogue if description of strange
article is required. Sometimes the
performance is close with the touch
ing Of articles in silence, but in such
cases they are things sure to be found
in any audience, and are touched in
the order previously arranged.

This Sarsaparilla is a combinationof
vegetable observation-disclosures, Man
drake Yellow Dock-with the Ioditles
of Potassium and Iron, and is the
most efficacious medicine yet known
for the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully
combined that the full Alternative
effect of each is assured, and while
it is so mild as to be harmless even
to children, it is still SO cffectual as
to purge out from the system those
Impurities and corruptions which
develop into loathsonle disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence
which prominent physicians all over
the country reposc in it proves their
experience of its usefulness.
Certificates attesiing its virtues
have accumulated, and are con-
stan;ly being received, and as many
Of these eases are publicly known.
they furnish convincing evidence OF
the superiority of this SarsapariHa
over every other Alternative medicine.
SO generally is its superiority TO any
other medicine known that we need
do 10 more than to assure the public
that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.

If Collector Arthur is asked to resign, Mr..

over his shoulder to see if the hand
of the Administration was fooling
round the back of his chair.
There is man in Georgia who can write
thus TO the editor of his local newspaper: 'I
am willing to vote to disfranchise myself un-
til am worth as much as $1,000 of taxable
property, If, by so doing, can help to rid the
state OF this evil OF universal suffrage"
A trusted correspondent of the Jackson
(Miss.l Times writes that after Judge Chisolm
was mortally wounded by the Kemper Coun
ty mob he called Mrs. Chisolm to his bedside
and said: "My precious wife, am innocent
OF any crime. and when am dead want
you to tell my children so, and train them up
to know that their father never did an act for
which they need to blush or feel ashamed. I
have been murdered because am Republi-
can, and would live free man."
"Sionara," the Japanese critic of American
civilization, writes in the North American
Recieao for July-August, of all Christians,
both American and European: "People who
know how TO make money by trying to get it
from each other they call civilized; people
who have not learned all the tricks by which
money can be made out of each other they
call uncivilized. After much consideration, I
can find no other distinction but this"
The President may have to pray for dsliv-
erance from injudicious Ohio friends. Their
zeal in the matter of patronage is ineligible
if not disnterested, but they go little too far

question, and to shape it with exclusive ref
erence 10 their conception of the party's in

An Erzeroum correspondent of the New
York Times MAY 23), speaking of the im.
portance of that "wretched place." says: Too
much stress cannot be laid upon the danger
of this conquest, and public attention with
out being diverted by affairs on the Danube,
ought to study events near the Euphrates
with that keen interest with which men
watch over what concerns themselves,
Russian ambition has long cast longing ewes
towards Erzeroum. The last letter of The
sagacious Fuad Pasha to the Sultan pointed
out with great accuracy the dangers of its
acquisition by the Gear to Turkey as
we'll as to England. But 1t is only
political blindness which can look upon the
capture of the capital of Armenia as the
seizure of wretched place and hardly wor-
tny oil attention. When Erzeroum is In the
