AN INDIAN UNEARTHED.

While workmen were the other day
qusrrying stone on the place Of Mr.. Gao.
Hoffman in tbeT ward, McKeesport,
they exhumed at the depth of three feet
from the surface in the solid rock, the
remains of an Indian. The skull and
jaw bones were in an excellent state of
preservation. With the remains was a
large pipe curiously wrought of stone.
Immediately over the place where the
remains were found a large oak tree had
grown, supposed to be at least 200 years
old Owing to the surface caving on the
excavation no thorough search has been
made as yet, but will be at an early date.

The Ute reservation in Colorado is
about equal in size to Massachusetts,,

combined, and it is the finest land in the
State. This is enough to give every Ute
man, woman and child four thousand
acres, and the Utes are seriously depre.
ciating its value every year, by burning
its timber to start game. 1t is not sur
prising that Colorado people think the

ion already often expressed, that all or
gsnized effort at the North, designed to
prompt and promote further stampedes
of this sort, should be discontinued.
These poor.people should not be delud-

The Jews of Russia.

Russia contains Jewish population
of 5000, 900 souls, which is larger
number than is to be found in the rest
Of Europe. One might, therefore, think
that the Russian Government would
show more interest in the state of the
Jews than any other Government. The
reverse, however, is the case, for the
laws OF the Empire contain number
of narrow-minded restrictions relating
to the Jews which in other countries
have long since been discontinued.
The Russian Jew possesses Eo other
rights or privileges than those which
may be granted to him under exceptional
circumstances. Thus the Jews, though
subjects of the State, really appear to
be aliens, only enjoying the rights of
citizenship by way of favor. But, for
all that, they have to pay taxes and are
liable to military service like the rest of
the population. II the Jews wish to
enjoy equal rights with other subjects,
they have but one alternative-viz.,
conversion to the orthodox Church.
A Jew who, without the sanction of his
parents and guardians, wishes to pass
over to the Russian Church is by law
declared to be of age already at fourteen.
A Jew can only obtain the privilege OF
settling if, for instance, he has been a
merchant of the first guild for certain
number OF years that is to say, if he
has paid the State considerable annual
"guild tax" or has been in military
service, or has studied at university.
In many districts where there is q scar
city of workmen, the Jew easily obtains
the right Of taking up his residence !;
but the moment he ceases his labors the
police are empowered to remove him
from the province where he had been
admitted as necessity.
This measure is very frequently put
in force, and the Jew is exiled TO his
Ghettos in the southern and western
parts of the empire. The law goes still
further, however. In those districts in
which Jews are permitted to live, they
form district guilds and at municipal
elections the Jewish and Christian pop
ulations are divided. Most of the laws
in force tend to the conversion of the
Jews to the Russian Church. For in
stance, law exists, though it is not en-
forced ,stipulating that every Jew who be.
comes a convert to the Greek Church,
whilst o criminal charge is pending
against him, shall be declared free Of
guilt and exempt from all punishment.
Before the law, therefore, Judaism is
crime, to renounce which, atones for
every misdemeanor. Great corruption
is also encouraged by the law relating
to domestic life. According to existing
laws, q Jew who gets converted can

divorced from his Jewish wife if he has
been previously married. The deserted
Jewish wife must support herself and
her children and does not possess the
right of marrying again.
