Colonies to be Located In the South and
West for Intending Emlgrants.
Philadelphia Record.

Philadelphia Record
An important movement is on foot
among the Hebrews of the United
States looking to the formation of a
Jewish colony or colonies in the South
Or West. The subject was first mooted
at the annual convention Of the Union
of Hebrew congregations, which was
held in Cincinnati last July, when it
was referred to a committee on agri-
cultural pursuits for consideration.
This body, after having considered the
question for halt a year, has just rem
dered a report to the executive com
mittee in the following language:
I'm our opinion the true emancipa-
ton of Jews consists in the greater in
fusion of the spirit of manhood and
self-dependenee, which can be best
done by encouraging the large masses
of Israelites dwelling in Eartern and
Southern Europe to become farmers,
agriculturists and mechanics.
The millions of acres still lying
waste in this country await the toll Of
the thrifty and industrious husband
man and laborer to yield the untold
wealth sleeping in the undeveloped
soil, and to millions of Jews the indie
pendence of the farmer would be the
true redemption of bondage.
This country, our brethren all over
the world and society at large would
be greatly benefited BY the enlistment
of willing hands and stout hearts in
an enterprise that would largely affect
the great social questions Of modern
times.
such work would be carried on
with facility in cooperation with our
sister societies in Europe-the ALI.
ance Israelites and their German
branches, the Board Of English Depu-
ties and others.
The Board Of Delegates on Civil
and Religious Rights are hereby in
structed to take into consideration the
feasibility and p~racticability of our
cooperation with our sister societies
in Europe for the purpose of encour-
aging agriculture among Jews and the
settlement in this country of such as
are willing and able to devote them
selves to that pursuit on the lands of
the South and West, and the execu-
tive board are also authorized to
accept donations of lands and funds
and hold them in trust for such pur-
poses"

Uses important results" says a promi-
nent Hebrew, who has been in this
city in attendance upon the sessions of
the B'nai Berth. ut is true he
continued, that knocks the much
talked-of theory about our all return
ing to Palestine in the head. but Of
the two ideas this proposed immigra-
ton is much the more feasible and
practicable. One thing is certain. it
is in the right hands, and before many
years you will find thousands of now
foreign Jews engaged in farming in
this country. Plenty of them are
ready to come, and they will be here
as soon as the funds and the amount
of land secured permits"

London Globe.l
The blue waves Of the Norman
coast have been the scene of a little
drama quite worthy in its way Of the
pen of Theophile Gautier. A lady,
prosecuted by an unwelcome admirer,
had given him a sharp rebuff, and the
ungallant lover had retorted by an in
suit addressed to the lady in the pub
lie streets. The lady neither said nor
did anything at the time, but reserved
to herself the right Of revenge at a
suitable opportunity. 1t will amuse
some English readers to hear what was
the opportunity found most suitable
for the purpose. The fair avenger of
her own wrongs appears to be au ex-
cellent swimmer, and she selected a
moment when the enemy was taking
his pastime in the open sea at Dieppe.
Then, swooping out from the quarter
of the ladies' bathing-machines and
bearing down upon the unsuspecting
bather, she proceeded to subject him
to that playful but eminently disa
greeable proceeding known in Eng

Crossing Niagara ON H,

Crossing Niagara ON Horseback.
The Toronto Globe says that a few
days ago Mr.. Andrew Wallace rode
his horse across the ice bridge-a diff
fcult feat in itself-but not satisfied
with this, ne assembled to the summit
of the ice mountain at the base of the
American fall. The sight from the
cliffs on the Canada side, which we're
covered with visitors, was thrilling.
Slowly the horse toiled up the steep,
slippery side of the great ice cone,
winding round the foot-path till the
summit was reached. Here, envel-
oped in a cloud of mist, which con-
cealed the white cone itself, horse and
rider looked like a weird apparition
suspended in midair. For some time
the horse went careering about over
the crest of the cone, where but one
false step might have hurled him and
his rider into the fathomless, foaming
gulf, full seventy feet below. Pres
emily the daring horseman rode slowly
down the path, and, crossing the ice
bridge, regained the Canadian side.
Both he and his horse were drenched
with spray. The intelligent, sure
footed animal that played such a
prominent part in this feat is a mod
erate-sized gelding, with four white
feet and a snip on the nose.

A young gentleman of eighteen at
Springfield, Mass, with an annual IN
come of $l56, welded secretly a school
young lady of seventeen. On Sunday
he called at her residence and his
unconscious mOther-in-law said her
daughter was not at home. The hus-
band forced his way in, to see for
himself; the old lady called for a
neighbor to put him out, and the bride
darted forth and threw herself into
the arms of her husband, who brand
ished aloft a copy of the Boys of New
York and shouted: Behold me
lawful welded wife p but they fred

A report was current in Paris some
days ago of the attempted poisoning
Of the pope by the Jesuits. The re-
port was telegraphed by the papal
nunciO in Paris to Cardinal Nina, and
numerous inquiries were made of the
pope's physician on the subject. On
his holiness being informed Of the sto-
rys he is said to have called his private
chamberlain and said Thank the
visitors and announce also in the ante
chamber that l am feeling quito well.
and that the poisoning is only for the
present pious desire" According to
the Pail Mall Gazette, the report seems,
however, to have made an extraordi
nary impression at the Vatican, and
the food introduced and cooked is x
amined with scrupulous rigor. Speak
ing quietly ofthe matter the pope OBJ
served: The Jesuits are too wise.
Were they to attempt and succeed,
they know that the crime must be
traced home to them, and that my
successor would pay my debts to
them" The Jesuits have, meanwhile,
presented their ultimatum to the pope,
demanding to be reinstated in their
old position, and to have their share
in the government of the church,
pointing out the benefits to acrue from
their support and the damage they
are still capable of doing. The pope
yields not an iota. He says: "Let
friars act the friar, and not NEEDLE
with mundane affairs"

Lost Sight Restored Inv Prover

Wilmington Dell special to N. Y. World.l
Miss Minnie Lombard, nineteen
years old, residing on Jefferson street.
this city, who has been blind for two
years, has recovered her sight in q
most remarkable manner. She was
afflicted with typhoid fever, and on
her recovery she gradually lost her
sight. She was given the best medi-
cal treatment, but without avail. She
is a member of st. Pauls M. Il.
Church and the church has made her
case a special subject of prayer. On
Tuesday night last, previous to retir-
ing, Miss Lombard had been reading
Of Christ restoring sight to the blind
and the promise, Whatsoever We
shall ask in my name, believing, yc
shall receive and with a full reliance
in His power and wisdom she prayed
earnestly that if it be His will her
own eyes might be reopened. She
awoke with a headache. Her mother
bathed her head and she fell asleep
again. When she awoke her sight
was perfectly restored. She is a con
sistent Christian and naturally at
tributes her sudden recovery to a
special interposition of Providence.

they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS Pills have been known FOR
more than a quarter Of century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilatiyc organs Of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or eyade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints Of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have balled the best of
human skill. While thcyproduce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. BY
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatiyes, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inilamed.
They reach the vital fountains Of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to ali ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
