-------------'-------- A Trip to the West.

It is with regret we announce the de
 parture of one of our most highly es.
 teemed friends for trip of health and
 recreation to the West, MT. A. c. Ed.
 wards, with whom it has been our good
 fortune to enjoy a companionship, both
 socially and in business, for long period.
 Mir. Edwards has been connected, for
 years, with the leading printing estab-
 lishments in our section, and, to say that
 A. c. Edwards is efficient in each detail
 of his art, is but telling fact known to the craft all ever our region. As an ex-
 pert, our friend has the credit from all
 quarters of being first-class in his de-
 partment, and we do not say that our
 friend is solely to be recommended for his ability and skill as printer. editor or manager, but we wlli add that no man ranks MT. Edwards as a gentleman, whose manners fit him for the highest niches in the social temples of the coun- try. We sincerely hope that MT. Ed wards trip will be of short duration, and that he will return with his most estimable family to his host of friends in good condition; Memphis cannot afford to lose her best citizens, so, old fellow, we shall expect you back, and that soon.
 So far but two women in the United States have been elected as directors of national banks, Mrs. Bradley, of Peoria, Illinois, being one, and Mrs. Louisa MCall, of Canton, Ohio, who was but recently elected, the other. Mrs. M Calls husband was president of the bank at the time of his death, and she has been elected as well fitted, by her business ability, to represent his large interests. There are many other women who are equally competent to fill such positions. By the way, there is bank in this city, located on Fifth avenue, especially de- signed for the use of wealthy ladies. Parlors are provided for their accomoda- tion, and the effort is to have it known as ladies bank. Why not elect as directors few of the rich women of the | city? Such course would undoubtedly | increase its popularity with the gentler 'ex.-Nes0 Fork Graphic. l

 LEMON JELLY.
 Take one box or two ounces of gela- tine, which should be first soaked in water for two hours; drain off the water i; then take two quarts of cold water, one and half pounds of sugar, put in the beaten whites of three eggs, the juice of three good sized lemons, the yellow rind pared off in strips, from one, stick of cinnamon, little nutmeg or other spice {; stir all the ingredients together when cold, then boil the whole mass together for five minutes, and then pour through a jelly bag, when it may be put in glasses or moulds, and when cold is ready for use. The moulds should be first wet in little white of egg and cold water, go that the jelly will not adhere to them.
 THE JELLY BAG
 Should be m ade of flannel, eight or ten inches across the opening and about halfa yard deep, narrowing to point at the bot tom. It can be suspended by strings or loops between two kitchen chairs, if no better conveniences are at hand. The liquid that runs through first should be poured back into the bag until it runs through clear. The gelatine may be put to swell in water the night before if de- sired, and then the jelly can be made in a few moments in the morning. It makes a delicate dessert, and nothing is more easily made, though those who do not go | about it rightly think it takes great | deal of time and trouble to make it. It is very agreeable to invalids, if quite art, and is admissible in almost any dis ,ase.

| trust, therefore, that there will be
no public assemblies called, no res
olutions passed, no more unfortu-
nate letters written, no recrimina-
tions, no personalities We are fed
to death with such things as these,
until the people have come TO have
almost n butchers appetite. So let
us Danish, and let us exhort those
whom we are proud to call fellow
citizens to Danish wrath; and may
they recognize that their position,
their honors, all things that are sa-
cred to them, are, in this country,
such as they shall themselves deter
mine them TO be. May they under
stand that under this government
there is no place TO which they may
aspire-no share Of finance, no walk
in literature, no avenue To honor, no
field of art or science--which is
shut TO them. The heaven above
their head is not more free To every
one of them than all the ways OF men
in this land. Lot them be composed
and not be disturbed by injuries
which are but the faintest echoes of
the wrongs which were indicted on
their fathers through unnumbered
generations. lftheir fathers, when
the foot of tyrany was placed upon
their necks, when they we're treated
TO the flame and the cord and the
AK, when they taste the luxury OF
dungeon, when they were pelted with
all manner of obloquy when they
were driven hither and thither and
were wanderers up and down the
earth, in patience possessed them
selves, and maintained their econo
my, their institutions and their
genius, am sure their descendants
will be able, under this slight breath,
this white frost, this momentary
fash of insult, to maintain their
genius, their households, their so
cial customs, their citizenship and
the honors which their fathers
achieved, and of which they are
showing themselves not to be unwor-

Nashville seems to be astIr IN re

the American Science Association
August 29th to September 9Th.
The committee in their note of in
vitation say: "While organized
mainly for the promotion of pure
science, it seeks the co operation OF
any friend of science, and invites TO
associate membership all who are
interested in the application of sci
enti6c principles to the development

ally. The Jews, everywhere perse-
cuted, everywhere bruised and
chrushed in the root. everywhere
defoliated, everywhere robbed of
their precious fruit, have sprung to
life again like the mulberry-tree,
which is fed upon and plucked by
the silk weaving worm, but which,
though stripped of one crop of
leaves, produces another and an
other. This extraordinary people
have set an example to humanity of
indomitable courage in the endu-
rance of whatever men can put upon
them and yet living and thriving.
If ever a race was heroic this race
has been.
In its long and dreary way the
indomitable spirit of this great peo-
pie has not flinched. They have
held fast to their faith. When for
the sake of saving themselves they
were outwardly obliged to conform
to cruel reigning Christianity, in
teriorly, in the church, in the sane
tuary of their own households, -they-
were faithful to the religion of
their fathers. And, not content
with simply their own advancement,
they have in almost every age and
in almost every country added to
the common stock of knowledge
and civilization, and that under all
the unfavorable conditions of which
l have spoken. The Jewish phi
losophers have stood second to
none. The Jewish statesmen have
been among the most eminent in the
world. Jewish teachers, apd schol-
ars, and literary men, and scientists,
and artists have ranked with the
ablest in Europe, and they do to-
day. 1t will not do to say that they
are the genius of intelligence and
administration in Europe; but l
may venture to say that they are
second to no others in these re-
spects. To-day in music, in paint
ing, in finance, and in generalship,
the Hebrews are equal to any among
the most favored, whether in
Europe or in America. Consider
ing their opportunities, they are
certainly giving more genius to
craftsmanship and administration
and finance than any other people.
What have they, then, of which
they need be ashamed, in a Chris
tian republic where all men are de
clared to be free and equal? OF
what has this oriental nation to be
ashamed in a country where Chris
tianity has breathed a spirit of
manhood? Is it that they are ex-
cessively Industrious? Let the
Yankee cast the first stone. Is it
that they are inor6inately keen in
bargaining? Have they ever stolen
ten millions of dollars at a pinch
from city? Are our courts bail
ing out Jews, or compromising with
Jews? Are there Jews lying in our
jails, and waiting for mercy, and
dispossessing themselves slowly of
the enormous wealth which they
have stolen2 You cannot find one
criminal Jew in the whole catalogue.
1t is said that the Jews are crafty
and cunning, and sometimes dis
honest, in their dealings. All what
a phenomenon dishonesty must be
in New York Do they not pay
their debts when it is inconvenient?
Hear it, o ye Yakees! Was there
ever any such thing known on the
face of the earth before? Is it true
that they live on that which you
throw away2 What a miscreant a
man must be that is so closely eco
nomical! Is it true that they can
make money where you go to bank
