 The Jewish Question.
 NEW YORK, July S4th--Speakine of the Jewish question, the Herald points out that there are only two Corbins in New York, but 5O,O0O Israe ites-one in twenty ot our pop, ulation-and concludes: "An easy and simple way for Austin Corbin to escape association with Hebrews at Manhattan Beach IS to resign h's presidency of the railway and hote! compeny, and never to visit the place again. After such an exhibition of himself as he lsas made this week, it will be surprising if stockholders in the corporation do not find it for their pecuGssry interest to unite in urging this upon his attention"
 NEW YORK, July 24th.-The Beard of Delegates of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, noting the exclusion of Hebrews from part of Coney Island says: We may safely leave our defense to tine intelligent and advanced public sentiment of our fellow citizens irrespective of creed or race"
 Adventurous Career of youth
 fui Candidate for Work.
 A boy eighteen years old, named Andrew Drake, arrived July Eth from Denver, Colorado, after having, he says, escaped from the Indians in Texas This morning, after having in vain tried to obtain employment, he applied to Nathaniel Hunter, Sec retary of the Society tor the Proven ton of Cruelty to Children, for ad- vice or assistance. He was driven 10 , this, he says, because he was getting thin betweeu the hide and the bones," and had to make some provision for "grub." Young Drake states that he was with the Texas Rangers in 1872, when he was captured by the Indians at an encounter between them and the Rangers in May of that year. His horse WAS shot, himself wounded in the body, cut in the head with a tomaha wk, the left forefinger nearly severed from his hand, and his right hand cut. The Indians let him out to the Apaches as an interpreter, and was with them for some time. During his captivity his feet were frozen, so that the toes were lost He manages, however, to walk very well. On January 8, 1879, the h. dians bp whom he was held, went into Fort Griffin. for rations, and while there he escaped, and after some difficulty reached Denver on his way to California, where he said his father was. Helcame out here, he says, Hike a white man, and didn't ride any brakes or oar-buffers.' Since he has been here he 1 as tried to sell papers, but states that he has not been able to get anything from it. He has ''packed blacking- box for some time,' but was not success ful. He says that he will take any thing that he can do that will give him his grub" and won't go to the Aimshouse, as has heen suggested, 'as long as he can kick" He states that there have peen published mis- representations concerning him, and that if he could find the writer he "would chaw his wool.'
 That Request to Jen Davis.
 NEW YORK, July 24.-Y Yesterday s. Percy Ellis, brother to Sarah A. Dorsey, who bequeathed her property to Jefferson Davis, received copy of the will, and a letter from Davis. The letter recites that the writer for years had known Mrs. Dorsey, and by daily association with her during the past two years came 10 know all her goodness and kindness of heart. Not one word in the letter gave any intimation that he thought the be- quest strange. Davis has no idea of allowing it to pass from him. Nev- theless it is positively affirmed that the will will be contested to the cad. Able lawyers in this city and New Orleans have already been engaged The grounds upon which the will, will be contested will be undue in fuence or mental inability to execute such an instrument.
 The McGarrahan Claim. NEW YORK July 25-The Sun, speak ing of the Panoche Grande affair, says: Obviously Carl Schurz is bound to recognize the fact that the matter is still pending in Congress, and in deed, at least nominally in the courts. | The proposition of MT. McGarrahan seems also fair one, for if the New | Idra Company has good title 1t vii | not take long to show il, while if it has not, and if McGarrahan has not, the land and mines belong to the United States. A probable answer would be that McGarrahan is only | trying to throw into litigation what has already been decided against him; | but if there has ever been an efectual and final decision against not only him but the United States, after full and proper presentation of the possi- ble claims of each, that also can be
