Jewish Mixed Marriages.

The question of mixed marriages is a sub
jsct OF controversy at present among the
Jewish community Of Victoria. 1t seems
that few Jews III the colony have contracted
marriages with christian women. In such
cases not only are the wives and children
born of such marriages considered as alto
gether outside the Judaic pale, bat the hus-
bands are looked upon as renegades from the
faith OF their foretathers. Twoof these ''ren-
egades" short time ago applied to DIR. Ad-
Ter. the chief rabbi in London, for the pur-
pose of securing his sanction t. the Judaiza-
ton Of their families. The chief rabbi init
mated his Willingness to accede to the request
made to him, aud it thereupon rested with
the synagogues of the colony to give effect to
his views. The East Melbourne synagogue,
however after warm discussion, passed by
a majority resolution aniagonIstlc to the
admission Of christians or gentlles into the
Jewish fold. On the other hand, the Bourke
street synagogue, which is the principal
street in Victoria, is ready to give effect to
the chief rabbits views, but only in respect to
the existing cases of mixed marriages. Cen
orally, however, according to the Melbourne
Argus, the Bourke street congregation are as
unwilling to remove the impediments In the
way OF proselytization as their brethren in
East Melbourne.

The extraordinary heat from which we suf-
fered few weeks since was not confined to
this continent. In every part OF Europe it
was felt, especially in England, where in
some places it was so intense as to warp the
iron on the railroads. The hot wave thus so
severe and which counted its victims in other
places than st. Louis by hundreds, crossed
Asia as we'll as Europe, and in British India
made itself felt to 50 extraordinary an ex-
tent that even the natives succumbed to it,
and died. The Bombay Gazette of June oath,
recounting its severity, says that ''in Calcutta
the heat has been extraordinary even for that
part Of the country, and there have
been numerous cases of heat apoplexy
reported. In the northwest provinces
the heat has been almost unprece-
dented. We hear Of the Thermometer regis
tering as much as one hundred and twenty
degrees IN the shade, and of deaths taking
place even among the natives in consequence.
Regarding the south Of India, we find that
the heat has been no less remarkable there
than it has been in other parts of the coun-
try. The other day one of the Madras news
papers reported that the air was SO hot that
cheroot could almost be lighted at it. In
Bombay they have had their share of hot
weather. The monsoon has at last broken,

A FEMALE FlEND
Makes Startling Confession and
Clears Up the Mystery OF TrOx-
eivlIle-A Shocking Muir
der Unveiled.

Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer from
harrisburg, Pennsylvania, August 4th: Last
winter the remains OF an aged mlser-
ly couple named Kinzeller were found in the
ruins of fire which destroyed their dwell
ings, near Troxeville, Snyder county. The
KlhZellers were known to have considerable
money about the house, which, in connection
with the circumstances attending the contia-
grafton, aroused a suspicion that they had
been murdered aud committed to the flames
to cover up the crime. Several well-known
persons Ia the community were arrested on
the charge OF having been concerned In the
tragedy, but sufficient evidence could not be
obtained to convict them, and they were all
released. The vicinity of Tr0xelvllle has
Just been startled by the confession of Sarah
Hartley who lived with Emanuel Eddinger,
one of the accused. She has made state
ment before justice of the peace duplicating
four men, herself and another woman in
are Israel Erb, Uriah Mayer, Jonathan Mayer
and wife, and Emanuel Eddinger and herself.
According to her statement the original in
tention was to rob the old people, who were
about seventy years of age, but the chloro-
form not having its desired effect it was re-
solved to murder Kinzeller and wife, and then
secure the money on the premises. She de-
clares that she saw two of the men deal the
deadly blow, and that Jonathan Mayer hest
tated to connect himself with the crime, but
that his cousin, Uriah Mayer, who had a note
due in bank, and was In great financial
straits, persuaded him to join him. Israel
Erb and Uriah Mayer have been arrested on
the strength of the woman's testimony. and
she herself is in jail to be used as witness
against the accused. Jonathan Mayer and
wife are in Kansas, having removed to that
State since the murder, and officers are now
after them. The relatives of the alleged muir
derers are endeavoring to damage her repu-
tation for veracity, but her statements are
generally believed to be truthful. There is
strong corroborative evidence of the truth of
the womans revelations. The amount of
money believed to have been secured is about
two thousand dollars. Eddinger, one of the
parties accused, is now serving term in the
penitentiary for stealing bees.

people were robbed, merchants were
brought to bankruptcy, and univer-
sal beggary worked ruin throughout the
land-tuat the simon-pure Radicals have
nothing in common with the Nationals,
whom they denounoe as regulators and
thieves, and to be associated with whom they
account dishonor. The Tribune is the trusted
and special organ Of the Radical bondhold-
ers, among whom its principal owner-Jay
Gould-is leader. True to its
principles. it would have the Repub-
Hcan party steer clear of alliances
with the Nationals, and 1t would have
ITS leaders brazenly, in the face of universal
poverty, defend the legislation by which
greenbacks were converted into bonds, the
bonds made equivalent to gold, silver was
demonetzed, resumption of specie payments
was made arbitrary, and greenbacks were re-
tired from circulation. The Radicals thus
defending, it would be impossible for them in
Shelby county TO maintain an alliance with
the Nationals, who stand upon the greenback
platform and are outspoken for the redemp-
restoration to the people of the money they
were robbed of that bondocracy, a special
class, might wallow in wealth while the poor
grow poorer and starvation stalks abroad
through the country. An unnatural and an
unholy alliance, the Nationals of Shelby
county cannot continue to cooperate with
their enemies, the Radicals. .

MARBLES DEFENSE OF TILDEN

We received by mail yesterday an eight
column letter, written by Mr.. Manton Mar
BILE, formerly editor of the New York World,
in which he defends Mr.. Tilden against the
accusation that he had anything to do with
the framing or passage of the electoral bill,
asserting at the same time the guilt Of NJ Lin.
of Florida, and J. Madison Wells, of Louisi-
ana, as bargainers Tor the votes of their
States, which they were prepared to sell to
either party for money. There nothing
new in all this, nothing that has not been
told before, and that has not been brought to
light by the Potter committee. 1t Is too old
and stale to be rehashed even IN the very
taking style of so finished writer as Mr..
Marble, and we cannot burden our columns
with it. While we shall never cease to keep
the fraud before the people, and to condemn
IT as it deserves, we confess that current at
fairs have too many claims upon
our columns to surrender them by
wholesale to periodical defenses of a gen
tleman whose opportunities for distinction
passed away with the settlement of the ques-
ton of the Presidency by the seating of a
fraud in the place to which ne was elected.
Great changes have taken place since 1876;
20 these, and not to the events which culmi
mated in the robbery of the people by the
Radical party, can we afford to give our tune
and attention. The fraud is not to be forgot
ten or forgiven, but always to be condemned
and held up to merited excavation. AS to
Mr.. Tilden, he needs no defense. His con-
duct throughout the struggle, which culmi-
mated in the theft of the Presidency. was die
tated 10y desire to subserve the interests of
peace. In doing so he did well. But, we
repeat, his opportunity has passed. Brief as
the time is, since his day, new measures have
been sprung upon the people, and the names
of new men are being lisped as the success
sors to the leadership in the Democratic party

THE RELIABLE MAN.

Of all the qualities that combine to
form good character, there is not one
more important than reliability. Most
emphatically is this true of the charac-
ter of good business man. The world
itself embraces both truth and honesty,
and the reliable man must necessarily
be truthful and honest. We see so much
all around us that exhibits the absence
of this crowning quality that We are
tempted in our bilious moods to deny its
very existence. But there are, never
theless, reliable men, men to be depend
ed upon, to be trusted, in whom you
may repose confidence, whose word is as
good as their bond, and whose promise
is performance. If any one of you know
such man make him your friend. You
can only do so, however, by assimilating
his character.
The reliable man is a man of good
judgment. He does not jump at conclu-
sions. He is not frivolous man. He
is thoughtful. He turns over subject
in his mind and looks at it all around.
He is not a partial or one-sided man. He
sees through thing. He is apt to be
very reticent man. He does not have
to talk great deal. He is moderate
man, not only in habits of body, but al
so of mind. He is not a passionate man ;
if so by nature, he has overcome it by
grace. He is sincere man, not plot
ter or schemer. What he says may be
relied on. He is a trustworthy man
You feel safe with your property or the
administration of affairs in his hands.
He is brave man, for his conclusions
are logically deduced from the sure ba-
sis of truth, and he does not fear te
maintain them. He is good man, fol
no one can be thoroughly honest anc
truthful without being good. Is such a
quality attainable? Most assuredly SO
1t is not born, it is made. Charactel
may be formed, of course then its com
ponent parts may be nodded to that for
nation.

SICK HEADACHE.

This complaint is the result of eating
too much and exercising too little. Nine
times in ten the cause is in the fact that
the stomach was not able to digest the
food last introduced into it, either from
its having been unsuitable, or excessive
in quantity. A diet of bread and but
ter with ripe fruits or berries, with mod
crate continuous exercise in the open
air, sufficient to keep up gentle perspi-
ration would cure almost every case in
a short time. Two teaspoonfuls OF pow
dered charcoal in a half glass Of water
and drank, generally gives instant re-
lief.
We are inclined to think that the
above remedies may do in some, but not
in all cases. A sovereign remedy for
this distressing disease is not easily
found. A new correspondent from Con-
necticut contributes the following on
this subject: Sick headache is periodi-
cal, comes on at regular intervals, and
is the signal of distress which the stom-
ach puts up to inform US that there is
an over alkaline condition of its fluids
that it needs natural acid to restore
the battery to its normal working condi-
tion. When the first symptoms of head
ache appear take tablespoonful of lem
on juice clear, fifteen minutes before
each meal, and the same dose at bed
time; follow this up until all symptoms
are passed, taking no other remedies
and you will soon be able to go fret
from this unwelcome nuisance. Many
will object to this because the remedy
is too simple but I have made many
cures In this Way.

THE MAN WHO DOESN'T READ.

The man who doesn't read is always

He is a knowing fellow. full of worn-out
truisms. He is rich and inexhausti-
BILE mine for every sharper who travels
on his wits, selling poor cloths at high
prices, or an expired patent right. The
man who doesn't read has very large
disgust for ''new-fangled things" and
believes in his children getting along as
he did, and boasts that he never went to
school but two quarters. We like this
sort of men /; there ought to be one in
every community, just for the benefit
they are as an example for the parents
who do believe they owe something more
to their families themselves, than to be
mere dull, brutal machines. The man
who doesn't read usually has mission
1t is to grow corn and pork, and pay
taxes, or work through the week at his
bench or forge as machine. His home
is place to eat and sleep, his life a
round of drudgery, struggle only for
bread and butter.
The man who does not read falls be-
hind the age in which he lives; drops
into the narrow groove of his personal
observation, aud declares the progress
around him to be departures from the
virtues and goodness of bygone times.
Every day has superstitious sign, ev-
cry change of the moon, every sudden
variation in the weather, fills him with
prophecy which BODIES everybody i'll luck.
The man who does not read misjudges
the common natural laws of matter, the
easily explained changes of vegetable
and animal life are subjects for super
stitious dread and trouble. The great
progress of the world in literature, sci
ence and art, the news of the day a.
home and abroad, are blanks to the mar
who does not read.

WHAT EVERY HOUSE NEEDS.

One of the very worst faults of our
very faulty modern architecture, as ap-
piled to houses, is found in the fact that
our architects do not take into their
plans the possibilities of sickness in the
family. Now, no house is properly con-
structed that has not in it a room or
rooms expressly designed for the accom-
mediation of the infrm and the sick. The
room should, in the first place, have a
warm, sunny exposure The window
light should be ample and command the
widest possible view. The first essen
tial in sick-room is a good, liberal
fireplace. Through it, and by means Of
the which it generates, the whole room
is kept in its atmospheric conditions,
wholesome and pure. Not only SO, but
slow-burning fire, with its lights and
shades. its rising sparks and glowing
brands, its curling and many colored
smoke, and its changeful embers, fur
nishes ceaseless diversion to the sick one
who lies watching it. Nothing is more
soothing and quieting than the influence
which subtly steals into the senses Of
him who gazes dreamingly into the gen.
tie fame. It is companionship in itself.
The walls, too. should have their proper
adornment. Pictures that suggest quiet
and peace, and the free, fresh life of ma
ture outside should be on them. A
bracket with its vase of flowers green
clambering vine clinging ambitiously tc
the ceiling library case filed with ia
miliar books ; curtains that soften the
light while admitting it-all these are
helpful to one that lies in weakness and
can take no more of life than the room

window stands tree, with the branches
SO placed that the leaves of some almost
sweep the pane. How much the sight
of twigs, buds and leaves. stirred by the
winds and fecked with the bright CLEANS
of the sun, can cheer the mind of one
who lies upon the pillow idly looking at
them. The central thought expressed
in a well constructed sick room is diver
sion. The object Of its construction and
location should be to give perfect accom-
modation and protection to the invalid,
while at the same time it suggests the
beauty and freedom of being unconfned
the life and animation of the great
outdoor world beyond.
