quet. The rally OF the PERSIAN jews
ia selfdefense, their demonstration
against their prosecutors. their resolu-
ton not to touch the spoil Of their
enemies-their grateful homage to the
Queen and her noble kinsman-the
institution of this festival which Israel
celebrates - enthusiastically as ever,
what stirring succession Of stage
pictures-how striking the denoument

The story Of Mordecai ought to be
impressed upon every man, Jew or
Gentle. In these days Of. corruption
and avarice, when the trusted council
lors in the land are among the fallen.
We arc justified claiming that, when
the Jew became . power in the COM
mouwealth, be exercised . controlling
influence for the right. Such Is the
unfailing record Of the past. At in
tervals in the worlds history, since
Christianity has warned against the
Jewish race, some Mordecai has arisen
in science, letters, or state craft, and
has refused to bend the knee to Ha-
man.
How it vexes the miserable satrap,
clad yesterday in the garb Of an in
quisitor, to-day in the habiliments Of q
sensational preacher, scientist. or
artist, to zee that Mordecai will not
bend the knee. but keeps on attending
to his daily avocations, turning neither
to the right hand nor to the left. A
generation ago Mordecai could not
practice law or medicine and remain .
Jew. So be studied quietly in his
ghetto, and edited . newspaper which
educated Germany. And now he con.
tinues to educate his fellowman BY his
earnest maintenance Of his religion.
and BY his faithful discharge Of HE
duty to the State. And he still seeks
the peace Of his people,"
The great lesson is not forgotten.
Mordecai should be the chosen hero Of
every young man, ~ be takes his
place in the great world.
And in the words Of Mordecai, We
address the depending: enlarge

charged from custody. The Court held
that " in order to be forgery an instru-
ment which it is alleged is falsiiied
must, if true, be legally capable OF COM
hitting a fraud. Nowhere in law is a
consolidated return required as dec
laration of the result, and its alteration
or modification can in no way affect
election. 1t is the essence OF this
crime that it should be committed by

the Supreme Court virtually ends the

ALady's Strange Pets.

Most ladies choose dog, a cat, ca
nary, or pony for a pet, and often "set
their lives upon them," but rarely does
one hear of a lady attaching herself to
such strange pets as the writer saw at
Mrs. Lincoln's, No. "a Howard Street,
day or two ago. Living in the family
are couple of lions, species not east
ly reared in this country, but Mrs. Lin
coin has succeeded, by the exercise of
great care, in rearing them to their
present age and size. The male weighs
about $50 pounds, and the female per-
haps 50 pounds less. They have been
at the house on Howard Street since last
September, and until within month
have had the "run of the place." going
about the rooms with considerable free
dom. As measure of caution the po-
lice thought the creatures should be re-
strained, and their quarters are now more
limited than formerly, although they
have safe outdoor run and room adj
joining the kitchen, with only a strong
wire-door separating the apartments.
Mrs. Lincoln is as free with her pets as
ladies are with their poodles. She plays
with them, feeds them from her hands,
and has taught them various tricks.
They will kiss her at her bidding, jump
through hoop, etc. Before police re-
strictions were placed upon them the
animals were accustomed to walk into
the kitchen or parlor among guests, and
go back to their quarters without Offer
ing harm to any one. A year ago the
lioness used to occupy the same couch
with the lady at night, but now she has
grown full large to be taken upon a
common bedstead. The animals are
quite curiosity, and, in theirgentleness,
show plainly how potent is the law of
kindness even with the brute creation.

THE State of Nebraska has sent a

Washington and demands his admission
to the House on the ground that the
State is not adequately represented.
The matter is now before the Judiciary
Committee, and Thomas j. Majors, the

before that committee, shows that the
State of Nebraska, with only one men,
Der, has more population than Vermont,
which has three. and Rhode Island and

THE EUROPEAN CRISIS.

The Journal de 81. Petersburg de-
clares untenable the reported English de-
mand that all points of the treaty should be
submitted to the Congress. III the mission
of the Congress is to result in peace, 1t
saws. subjects not of European character,
and which might lead to excited but result
less discussion, must be set aside.
A Berlin dispatch says: The German
Government will not issue invitations to the
Peace Congress until all difficulties about
subjects to be considered are removed. The
general prospect is far from encouraging
Germany will claim the Presidency by pre-
scriptive right, whether Bismarck attends
or not.
Berlin dispatches of the l4th state
that the 3Oth of March has been the date
about decided upon for the meeting OF the
Peace Congress. The Anglo-Austrian de-
mand that the whole of the Russian Turkish
agreement shall be submitted to the Con-
gress, arises from belief that special and
secret arrangements have been entered into
independent of the principal treaty. 1t is
not believed that Russia will concede this.
The Powers have agreed to admit Greece to
the Conference.
1t is announced semi officially from
st. Petersburg that Prince Battenburg, the
Czarina's nephew, has been definitely pro-
posed for the throne Of Bulgaria.
The officers of the British Royal En-
gineers, the first on the list for foreign serv-
ice have been ordered to provide them
selves with full field equipments and be
ready for immediate service.
A Vienna correspondent says Russia
has notified the Powers that the treaty will
be sent to them Immediately after ratifica-
ton, Russia having no reason to conceal
any thing. This seems intended to reassure
England that there is no secret understand
ing.
A St. Petersburg dispatch of the 18th
says: Notifications Of the treaty OF peace
were exchanged to-day. The conditions
will be published as soon as they are COM
municated to the Powers.
The Russians have been quietly con-
centrating their forces around Constantine
Pile and are now situated so that they can at
an hours notice occupy the forts command
ing the entrance from the Bosphorus to the
Black Sea. These movements are causing
renewed apprehension in England regard
ing Russia's Interior designs.
Prince Bismarck has notified the Aus
trian Government that Russia, in conse-
quence of his intervention, has consented to
submit all the peace conditions without eX-
ception to Congress for discussion, should
Congress make demand to that effect.
The London Times of the 10th says that
the latest phase OF the difference between
Russia and England seems to be that Russia,
while admitting the right of the Powers to
discuss all points of the treaty,
declines to be ultimately bound
by decision of the majority of
the Powers. A well-informed st. Peters,
burg correspondent states Russia will not
allow interference with points concerning
the war indemnity, Armenia and Bessara-

trade dollar, which they claim has OBJ
tanned firm footing in China and Gre

suspension of their coinage would be to

The House Committee on Reform in
Civil Service, investigating the affairs Of
Col. Polk, Door-keeper of the House of
Representatives, have agreed upon a
report, by vote of seven against three,
charging him with violations and loose
management of his Office in the matter
of appointments, and they recommend
his removal, and that the subordinates
of the House be placed under tie
charge of the Sergeant-at-Arms until
the House shall determine upon the
election of another Door-keeper. 1t
was shown before the committee
that many of the appointments were
made on the importantly of some men,
bers of the House, who promised an ap-
preparation of money to cover all def
ciencies occurring from such appoint
ments, and further that the troubles
which attended the Door-keeper resulted
in part from the fault of the present
system of dispensing patronage. Moth
ing appeared in evidence before the
committee showing that the Door-keep-
