b called, I may mention that in the
province of Cherson alone-into the
custom house treasury of which you
may remember some days ago the Nj
hilists digged their underground way
and distracted an enormous quantity
of cOln-s sum no less than 80, 900 ru-
bies has been voted for the purpose Of
exterminsting this Egyptian plague
IL is feared, however, that the prevent
i've measure will be too late. and that
the crops must be parted with in Chris
tisn spirit Of submission. On q surface
of 800 versts at and around Z4ritsin, on
the NOlgs, there has been no rim stree
the begin ming Of spring TILL now, while
universal dTyDess and enormous heat
Reamur's thermometer standing at 30
deg. IN the shade, 10 deg. in the sun
with intolerable sultriness and dust,
have destroyed all hopes of the harvest
thereabout. The country people, says
the G0los. are leaving their homes BY
hundreds in despair and wandering
about as beggars. From other parts of
the empire, too, the cry of distress is
heard, arising from different chord of
woe. The Russo-P Olish and Lithuan-
ian towns are swsrmlng with such g
large and unemployed Jewish popula-
ton that the civic authorities are no
longer able to support them, and the
government have therefore resolved to
found more agricultural colonies in the
various provinces for the reception Of
this superfluous Hebrew prOletariat,
those created several years ago having
of late shown signs of prCsperity-a re-
markable trUth, | may take the liberty
to add, IN view of the fact that in no
county whatsoever where they settle do
the gifted descendants of Jacob show
anything but the most deep-rooted
aversion for manual labor.

Bob Ingereoll, speaking of Mr.. Cor
bins action against the Jews, observes ::
''As matter of course, l I'm utterly
opposed to the oppression of any class,
and regard the action OF the proprietors
of the Manhattan Beach Hotel in refer
enCe u the Jews as bigoted, mean and
disgracrful. Such action belongs to
the Dark Ages. The persecution of
the Jews should bring blush to every
Christian cheek. Nothing is more in
famous than the oppression of class.
E lch man has the right II be judged
upon his own merits. To Cypress him,
or to hold him in contempt on account
of religion, race or color, is crime.
Every man should be treated justly
and kindly, not because lie is Jew or
a Gentle, but because he is human
being, and, as such, capable of Joy and
pain. If at any hotel man fails to
act in q decent and becoming
manner let him be put out, not on
account of the nation 10 which he be-
longs. but on account of his behavior.
Any other course is urj lst and cruel.
IL is not for the keepers If public
houses to brand An entire race as unfit
to associate with them. When we re
member that God selected Jewess for
his mother, passing by the women of
India, Egypt, Athens and Rome, as
well as the grancmOthers of Mr.. Cor
b n, it is hardly in good taste for the
woIshippers of that same God to holj
the Jews in scorn. The Christians
have always been guilty of this incon-
sIstency with regard to the Jews-they
have worshipped the dead and perse-
culed the living. think it would be
much better to let the dead take care
of themselves, while we respect and
maintain the nights of the living"

A correspondent of the Indianapolis
Sentinel, who recently visited the grave
OF Llncoln's mother, at R1cheport,
Indiana, writes as follows: No stone,
no tablet. not even a rough wooden
headboard marks the windowless
palace. Where the headboard should
stand, small, uncouth dogwood bush
has deeply planted its roots, thus re-
minding one of the apple tree story as
soclated with the burial place of Roger
Williams. To the right of the grave,
as you face the East, towers graceful
oak, whose quiet shadows seem, as it
were, to hold communion With the
careless slumberer that reposes beneath
it's roots.

midmorning of refreshing summer

Thomas Lincoln, father of the ILL

his wife died, and in a few years after
this domestic bereavement he removed
to Illinois. This, IN brief, is the whole
story of the Lincoln family's history
connected with Indiana. The little
rude log cabin constructed by Mr.. l..
and his son was carried away, learn,
several years sgo, by some enterprisi1g
