An Extensive Scheme for Jewish Col.
OnizatiOn.

The New York Times says: An emil

residents in this city, and looks 10 set
Elements in homes in the far West either
of newly arrived INDECENT Jewish immi-
grants, or Of families that have been i'm
poverished by the hard times. AZ pres
ent the movement includes only about
so families, in all more than 100 persons,
most Of whom are recent arrivals from
Hungary and from other European
countries, but II is not limited 10 such,
and any persons wishing to commence
life anew are invited % join the new COL
ony. The project is 10 obtain suitable
lands on al favorable terms as possible,
and TO parcel them out into farms,
each emigrant acquiring the title 10
his property on certain easy con-
ditions. As now composed. the
colony embraces farmers, skilled arti-
sans, carpenters, plumbers, and others
who have worked ut trades, but al OF
them very poor and decidedly in need OF
q helping hand. Mr.. Meirowitz OF No.
314 East Houston Street, is At present
acting as an agent for the colonists, and
has put himself in correspondence with
Rev. DIR. Wise of Cincinnati, AID lead
ing Jewish rabbis and men Of wealth in
western cities, with u view TO obtain &C
curate information and reliable counsel.
Correspondence has been opened with
prominent men belonging 10 the United
Hebrew Benevolent Society, with a view
TO place the movement under such tutel-
age as will command the confidence Of
the community. Mr.. Meirowitz said yes.
terday thatit would be prematuret TO enter
into detail, Is every thing depended
upon replies to letters which he had just
put in the mail. He would say, how
ever, that the movement was not in
tended especially for the benefit Of the
poor immigrants with whom it origi-
mated, but would be made as large and
general as possible. Prominent He
brews in this city and elsewhere, among
them Rev. DIR. Gotihiel, have been for q
long time discussing and maturing plans
for the benefit Of the poor Of their race
in the larger cities in this country, and
q convention has been called Of promi-
nent Jewish citizens, 10 meet on July Z
in this city, in order to consider the best
method Of carrying into execution an
extensive scheme Of colonization.

Strange Meeting at O Death.bed.

The father and mother Of Mr.. STAN

laid away in his last resting-plsce RThe
parents met for the first time in 80 years.
Long years ago they separated and were
divorced, and young Stanton took his

pilgrimage by their respective mates.

Hints to HOusekeepers.

DR.. Mary Stafford communicates the
following to the Herald of Health:
The farmers wife in too many in
stances is permaturely old. II she has
no help, with the ever pressing cares of
home and family, she finds very little
time for rest and relaxation from care.
But if she only knew how to do it she
could command more leisure, and add
to, rather than detract from, the COM
fort of herself and those dependent upon
her.
In the first place, with all of the fresh
and abundant vegetables that should
be found in every farmers garden, with
fresh, sweet butter and plenty of milk,
the whole household can feast upon ex-
cellent and nourishing food during the
summer, without using much meat.
Monday -washdiy there must be a fire
certainly most of the forenoon; then is
the time, If fresh meat is at hand, TO
make q delicious and nourishing soup,
q good meal of itself. The meat cut in
small bits, or If q bone bruised, is put
on, on the back Of the stove, when the
fire is first built, to cook slowly, the
grease is all removed, the vegetables
Il it be vegetable soup-cut fine, are put
in early. not too many to make it too
thick, but enough, with some rice, to
give it consistency. While this has
been going on 3 rice pudding has been
put in the oven, just enough rice, with
milk, sugar and r~aisins, if one
has them on hand, which re-
quires no previous cooking, and no
stirring, and is ready for the r.
O'Clock dinner. II there are berries,
and . pie is preferred. put them into q
pudding-dish with no crust beneath to
be ma 1e soggy and indigestible, but
with al overcovering OF such material
as light biscuits are made, and thus
save time and trouble of kneading and
rolling, of placing and cutting out the
abominable compound called pie-crust.
Why make . pie at all? Why not eat
the berries? Because pie is traditional,
and much enjoyed by the farmer and
his help, and q few berries used in this
way viii 90 much further than when
eaten knocked. Now, while the wash
ing Is going on, the soup making, the
pudding baking, the skillful housewife
will have her eye o~utreaching TO the
needs of supper. In another kettle she

The closing call Of the 30 bonds Of
the United States marks an important
point in the financial history Of this
country. A few isc;s viii illustrate the
wonderful history OF the credit OF the
United States during the Is years begin
ming with July, 1851.
The deb, Of the United States on the
lst day Of Juiy. 1861, Vas sss. 10000,

its decline is q matter OF instructive IN

in each year Was as follows:
The Red Cloud chief., 1879-05-15

On the 4,h Of March, 1859, the Score.
tary Of the Treasury put the law pro-
viding for 8 sinking fund in operation,
and also began the application of the
surplus revenue TO the purchase Of the
debt. The maximum Of the debt was
reached in 1866, and from March, 1859,
the diminution Of the debt continued
regularly until, on the lst Of July. 1876,
it was reduced to 90. l0i, $50. 200. the re-
duction at that time being $685.. 5000,
or at the rate Of nearly $1,000. 90 q
year from the time the debt had reached
its maximum.
On the l4th OF June, 1870, Congress
authorized the issue Of new bonds, bear
ing 5, A, and 4 per cent. interest, To be
exchanged for outstanding 6-per-cents
or gold, and the proceeds applied 10 the
redemption of the 6-per-cents. In July,
1870, the outstanding bonds were of the
following amounts and character:
Total bonded bt.-.-..-......... s.. i0s. Ds.o
Bonds bearing 6 per cent?. 1855 lao
Bonds bearing S per cent.......... 1874 So! go
On the lst of July, 1876, these figures
had been changed TO the following:
Total bonded 81 $50, 30, 600
Bonds bearing 8 per cent?. S-s,t!s.on
Bonds bearing 5 per cent....-..... III .ts5,oo
1t will be seen that in the six years
the principal of the bonded debt was re-
duced S40S, 463, 600, and the annual in.
terest on S5l6, OOO, 600 had been reduced
from 6 to 3 per cent.
On the 1st of January, 1879, the bond
ed-debt statement showed the following
figures:
unsat ln,1al A.vt a 20 40 s-a
BONDS bearing 8 per cent.."...... .5s.iG, 400
Bonds bearing 5 per ccnt......... 03.O,G.6 $50
Bonds bearing * per cent?. 2o.0o1.0o
Bonds bearing 4 per cent.......... l9s, .Uo,eo
The 6 per cent. bonds included a
twenty-year loan made in 1861, which is
not redeemable until after 1881, and
amounts to SlS9, 1921 1850, and some
smaller items, and also 5 go bonds to
the amount of 1913, 164, $50.
The Secretary of the Treasury an
nounces that since the LIST Of January
last 4 per cent. bonds to the full amount
of all these 500 bonds have been taken
and that on the lst of July, 1879, or
within nine years from the date of the
Funding act, there have been converted
of the bonded debts 6 per cent. bonds TO
the amounts a follows:
% Sols Y u iiito - V y
Is converted into AZ per cents. 259,00o.o00
6s converted into 4 per cents...... 5sl.s6i $50
Total 81 ,S0, Jos DO
The reduction accomplished in the
annual interest on this conversion of
bonds is S2O, 270, 200. The burden Of
the debt is, therefore, reduced that much
every year. The sale of 4 per Ger
bonds is suspended for the time, but the
Government will in the meantime issue
4per cent. certificates, the money received
for them being applied to the payment
of the old 10-40 bonds, bearing 5 per
cent. interest and issued in 1864, and
which amount to S19i, 200, 0OO.
There is nothing, however, in the his
tory of national finances equal to the
sale of 4 per cent. bonds since the LIST
of January. 1879. Over $4,000, 900
of such bonds sold at par within IS days,
and such an event is unknown in the
history of any nation. Chicago Tribune.
