The Jew.

The Jew still walks the earth and
bears the stamp of his race upon his
forehead. He is still the same being as
when he first wandered forth from the
hills of Judea. If his name is associated
with avarice and extortion, and spoken
in bitterness and scorn, yet in the morn
ing of history, it gathers round it recOl-
lections sacred and holy.
The Jew is a miracle among the ma
tions. a wanderer in all lands, he has
been a witness of the great events of his
tory for more than eighteen hundred
years. He saw classic Greece when
crowned with intellectual triumphs. He
fingered among that broken but beauti-
full architecture that rises like a tomb
stone over the grave of her departed
splendor.
The Jew saw Rome, the "mighty
heart" of all nations, sending its own
ceaseless life's throb through all the
arteries of its vast empire. He, too, has
seen that heart cold and still in death.
These have persisted, vet the Jew lives
on-the same silent, mysterious, indie
structible being. The shadow of the
crescent rests on Palestine, the signet of
a cOnqUerer's faith-stiil the Jew and his
religion survive. He wanders a captive
in the streets of his own once queenIy
Jerusalem, to mediate sadly and gloom
lily on the relics of ancient power Above
him shines the clear sky, faiI as when it
looked down on the towers of Zion; but
now, alas beholds only desolate city
and an unhappy land. The world is his
home. The literature of the ancient
Hebrew triumphs over all creeds. and
schools, and sects. Mankind worship in
the sacred songs of David, and bow to the
divine teachings of Jesus of Nazareth,
who also was a son of Abraham. Such
IS the Jew. His ancient dreams of en-
pire are gone. How seldom do we real
ize, as we see him in our city streets,
that he is the creature of such a strange,
peculiar destiny. Neither age, nor
country, nor climate, have changed him.
Such is the Jew, a strange and solitary
being, and such the drama of his long
and mournful history. Chicago Ledger.

There are some meek-faced and tender
hearted men in this city of Detroit.
There is one in particular, who owns a
house and lot in the eastern part of the
city. Another citizen, whose face dOesn't
betray meekness, owns a vacant lot next
to him, and a-few days ago he wanted to
buy the meek-faced man out and build a
factory covering both lots. The figures
were too high, and he went away feeling
mad and revengeful. Coming across a
Snowman who wanted to set up his tent
and exhibit wild man and other inter
esting specimens of life and death, he
gave him the free use of the lot. It was
stipulated that a hand-organ should be
kept going, bells rung now and then, and
if the wild man uttered yells occasionally,
so much the better. When the meek
faced citizen saw the tent put up ten
der, forgiving smile crossed his face, and
he made for a printing Office. About
the time the Snowman was ready to open
the doors to the anxious public the meek
faced citizen was ready with his signs
and tack-hammer.
Gentlemen, walk in and see the great
KickapOo kangaroo from Kalamazoo !"
said the Snowman.
Tack tack !" and up went a SIGN on
the fence reading, g Look out for small
pOx ?" A second and third followed,
and the meek-faced man was putting up
the fourth when the Snowman closed a
bargain with truck to move him down
town. He wasn't over fifteen minutes
packing and loading, and when the lot
was cleared again the meek-faced citizen
sat on his doorstep and unused:
He who wants to sell out let him
sell, and I wonder how much ahead they
are ?"--DetrOi Free Press.

These reluctant Indians have since been
known as the &c Non-Treats." For some
time, for causes which will be herein
after explained, these latter have been

siOns. A report of the secretary of the
interior, sometime since, said: "The set
Elements made in the Walla Walla valley,

ground of the large herds of horses owned
by JOseph's band of the "Non-Treaties, -
will occasion more or less trouble be-
tween this band and the whites until
Joseph is induced or compelled to settle
upon the reservation" This prediction
has been verified. The Salmon river
Indians, a branch of the Nez Perces,
joined Joseph's band. Joseph is a
renegade, an ultra "NOn-Treaty," and
has for several years been very trouble
some, to such an extent that Gen. How
ard, commanding the department of the
Columbia, found it necessary to force
him upon the reservation. As mentioned
before, the Presbyterian missionaries &C
quired the title to the land in the Walla
Walla valley from the Nez Perces. They
in turn sold it to a settler named Z. ].
Langferd and several others. Contro-
versies arose over the validity of the
title, and after much legal warfare the
secretary of the interior decided that the
land Justly belonged to the Indians, and
dispossessed the occupants. This created
turbulent feelings between the settlers
and the Indians, and several years ago
an Indian was killed in brawl over the
title to the land. Joseph swore ven
geance.

An Account of the FIRST Steamboat Trip
Between New York aud Albany.

An Account Of the FIRST Steamboat Trip
Between New York aud Albany.
In the Suffolk Gazette, printed at Sag
Harbor, on the east end of Long Island,
October II, 1907, is a letter from Robert
of the first trip of the first steamboat on
the Hudson river 1t is as follows
To JOEL BARLOW, PHILADELPHIA.
NEW YORK, 22d Aug, 1907.
Ny DEAR FRIEND: My steamboat
voyage to Albany and back has turned
out rather more favorable than I had
calculated. The distance from New York
to Albany is $50 miles 1 ran it mp in 80
hours and down in so hours. The latter
is Just miles an hour. I had a light
breeze against me the whole way going
and coming, so that no use was made of
my sails; and the voyage has been per-
formed wholly by the power of the steam
engine. I overlook many slOops and
schooners bearing to windward, and
passed them as if they had been at
anchor.
The powero of propelling boats by steam
is now fully proved. The morning I left
New York there were not perhaps thirty
persons in the city who believed
GHdG GIl0 DOdG WOulu ever UlONO OuG
mile an hour or be of the least utility.
And while we were putting off from the
wharf which was crowded with specta-
tors, / heard a number of sarcastic re-
marks this is the way you know in
which ignorant men compliment what
they call philosophers and projectors.
Having employed much time and
money and zeal in accomplishing this
work, it gives me, as it will you, great
pleasure to see it so fully answer my ex-
pectations. 1t will give a quick and
cheap conveyance to merchandise on the
Mississippi, Missouri, and other great
rivers which are now laying open their
treasures to the enterprise of our c0un-
trymen.- And although the prospect of,
personal emolument has been some
inducement to me, yet l feel infinitely
more pleasure in rejecting with you on
the immense advantage that my country
will derive from the invention.
However, 1 will not admit that it is
half so important as the torpedo system
of defense and attack for out of this will
grow the liberty of the seas; an object of
infiIfte importance to the welfare of
America and every civilized country.
But thousands of persons have now
seen the steamboat in rapid movement,
and they believe-but they have not
seen a ship of war destroyed by a tor
pedo, and they do not believe. We can
not expect people in general to have a
knowledge of Physic, or power of mind to
combine ideas and reasons from causes to
effects. But in case we have war, and
the enemy's ships come into our waters, if
the government will give me reasonable
means of action, will soon convince the
world that we have surer and cheaper
modes of defense than they are aware of.
Yours, etc, ROBERT FULTON.

Feminine Notes.

In late style of marriage announce
ment only the names of the bride and
clergyman appear. As civilization ad-
vances, the groom becomes of less and
less importance on such occasions.
A lawyer and a minister, both impecu-
NOUS, boarded with a certain widow lady
at the South End, Boston. Neither
could pay his board. The lawyer married
the lone woman, and the minister per-
Termed the ceremony, thus squaring &C
counts.
Here is bit of fashionable intelligence
from the Kansas City Times: 1.-THE
daughter of Mr.. Prodigy, of Twelfth
street, has returned to her fathers house
from visit east; and o how many fond
and foolish boys rejoice over that Prodigy
gals return"
Charles, dear, said a lady to her
escort at the Boston theatre, as the
bewitching Aimee glanced tantalizingIy
out of the corners of her eyes at a row of
Harvard BOYS in the orchestra chairs
Charles, dear, I'm afraid she is saying
something very improper. Find me the
place in the libretto, will you ,"
In the ages when our ancestors were
savages the men went on a little ahead,
in Journeys, to fight the way through for
the women, who came behind with the
children and luggage. A Survival" of
this ancient custom remains to the pres
ent day among the lower classes, with
whom, when the husband and wife go
anywhere, the husband walks on about
six feet before. while the wife follows be-
hind and Tugs the baby.
A negro woman in Africa, walking
alone with her two children, saw a hun
gary lion approaching. She babe the chill
dren run and hide in the bushes. She her
self stood still, fixed her eyes on the
lions eyes, shook her fist at him. and
commenced scolding him. She scolded
fearfully and continuously, still shaking
her fist and keeping her eyes fixed on the
lion. And she scolded so tremendously
that at length the lion beat a retreat and
skulked away, actually scOlded of.
A little girl who sat on the front steps
of a house on Montcalm street was asked
by strange girl why she didn't have on
better dress. 81 can wear silk if ]
want to-" quietly replied the little one.
'FYour folks amt as rich as them folks
over there, sneered the big one. q Yes
we are, and a good deal richer. They
was beating their carpets yesterday, and
we was beating ours, and we had twice as
much dust as they did" That settled
the big one, and she moved on.

Nature and EIectrieLIr.

We learn that a new hypothesis as
to the nature of electricity has been of
fered by Prof. Renard, of Nancy. He
considers an electric current to be pro-
duced by longitudinal motion of the
other particles, which at the same time
have a general forward motion. When
the molecules of body are surrounded
by a greater ether atmosphere than the
normal, the body is in the condition
which we call positively electric; when
the ether atmosphere about each moles
Guile is less than the normal, the body is
negatively electric. He has sought to
explain various electrical phenomena
thus: for example; the magnetization
of steel needles by electrical discharges,
regarding which Savary has shown that,
according to the position of the needle,
1t acts in one direction or the other.

Water-Peas.

A prominent pisciculturist lately sent
a very valuable present of trout spawn
to a San Francisco magnate who is more
remarkable for wealth than refinement.
The giver's idea was that the trout might

artificial lake which was feature of the

surprised at receiving the following note
some days afterward: " Nv dear friend

We never would have knew what the
