On or about the 10th of September
there will assemble in Paris, in the
large hall attached to the Grand Syna-
gogue in the Rue de Victoire, an inter-
national convention of representative
lsraelites from all parts Of the world.
The convention is to be held under
the auspices of the Alliance Israelite
Universeile, and will take in wide
range Of discussion, as committees ap-
pointed at the annual conference held
in 1878 will report on all matters
affecting the status of Jews all over
the globe. The appointment of these
committees, who have corresponded
with each other during the past year
was made in accordance with the fol
lowing language held by one Of the
leading men of the alliance. He said
Be it Germany, Austria or Hungary
be it Holland, Belgium or Italy; be il
Fran3e, England or America, there
must be no difference, no distinction,
no delay, when we are called upon to
prevent pauperism, to prevent en-
croachmeuts on the rights of citizens,
to prevent a diminution of means for
Che instruction and training Of Jewish
children. We have scattered the seed
from which sound and good fruit shall
spring forth. England and America,
Germany and Italy, shall be more
fully represented in these delibera-
tions. Hence our people hope for the
future"

Italy.


ROME, September 4.-The Italia
Irredenta question is causing renewed
attention, because of the recent pam
phlet issued by Colonel Humerli,
brother of Count Andrassy and prob
able successor as Austro- Hungarian
premier, stating it is fomented by un-
scrupulous men who are actuated by
the lust of conquest, and that hatred
of Austria is encouraged in Italy be.
cause it is thought a province could
be more easily filched from Austria
than from any other power.
La Liberia, Conservative organ and
therefore having more moderate views
on foreign politics than newspapers ni
the Left, replying to the pamphlet
says Austria can not expect Italy
should declare the Italian provinces,
still under Austrian sway, belong tC
Austria by full right, and shall con.
tinue to do so indefinitely. On the
other hand, Italy can not claim that
Austria should, merely to please her
restore valuable proylHoeS. As lialy
cannot think of making war in heI
present condition, and Austria can
not attack Italy tor merely having
certain aspirations, both parties should
stop making insincere and stereotyped
declarations, leaving the question Of
IirTedsntG provinces for the distant
future, 1t being understood that when
Italy wants provinces she will take
them by force, while Austria will de-
fend them inch by inch.

New York Times.l
The palaces on which Sultan Abdul
Aziz and the ex-khedive expended so
many millions, luxurious as they are,
have been surpassed even in modern
times by the freaks OF rulers still more
eccentric. History has preserved the
memory of the ice palace built by the
Russian Empress Anne, who pun
ished several of her dainty couriers
by compelling them to pass the night
in its great chamber of state, where
they were all but frozen to death.
The Czar Paul, grandfather of the
present sovereign, constructed room
formed entirely of huge mirrors, where
he spent haurs walking to and fro in
full uBiform-s singular taste for the
ugliest man in Russia. One of the
native princes of Java cooled his pal
ace by making a stream fall in a
cascade over the gateway, and the
Indian despot, Tippoo Sahib, placed
beside his dinner table a life size
figure Of a tiger deyouring an English
officer, the roar of the beast and the
shrieks of his victim being initiated
by hidden machinery. The late king
of Dude kept in his country palace a
large collection of pet serpents, which
he is said to have more than once
amused himself by letting loose, with
fatal effect, upon the luckless Hindus
who came within reach.

THE CITY HOSPITAL.
Or. Laursncs's Last Monthly Report.

DR.. Laurences monthly report from
the city hospital is as follows. Patients
remaining July 81, 7S; admitted dur
ing August, IS; discharged, 70; died,
"a; total number treated during Au-
gust, 153. OF the 153 treated 60 we're
yellow fever cases. Of the 60, 10
were already in hospital, having been
admitted for other diseases, ten of
them dying of yellow fever; the re-
naming Al were admitted for yellow
fever, and Of these 13 died. Total
deaths, % out of the 60 cases.
Referring to the tabular statement
Of cases, with explanatory notes (not
here published), the doctor says:
A careful examination of the above
statement of cases ought to convince
any thinking person that the dread Of
being treated in hospital, caused last
year by the great mortality in the in
frmaries, unavoidable from over
crowding, tardiness of admission and
the bad character of the cases gener.
ally, is wholly groundless; at least il
the admission is at reasonably early
period, say six to ten hours after the
inception Of the disease.
My summary shows only % deaths
in 66 cases; say 80 per cent, which has
been the average mortality of yellow
fever for the last hundred years, OF
these GO cases 8 were moribund, 3 ac-
tually in articulo mortis, when admit
ted, and, of course, no curative treat
ment was attempted.
Leaving these cases out of the ac
count, we have 10 deaths to 81 cases
or l death to every 81 cases-very con
siderably less than the yellow fevel
death rate in the city at large, which
sums up to-day 339 deaths to 99l
cases. AS will be seen by the above
l5 Of my 60 cases were admitted afte
having had the fever from 60 hours T.
5 days, and 5 were removed to hos
| pital directly from sheds, stables an,
vacant houses, having had no preyiou
attention whatever. OF the residu
of these 60 cases, 19 were regula
| habitues Of the hospital, having bee
admitted at various times for othe
| diseases, such as syphilis, rheumatism
dropsy and epilepsy. And the loss {
no out of these 19 cases (nearly ha
of the total number of deaths), prove
Show unequal was the fight betwee
| these poor unfortunates and the gian
with the yellow locks; and how nece'
Esary was the hospital camp which
have just established on the Popla
| boulevard.
OF the 60 cases above enumerate
only Z were negroes ; all the rest wei
white, a fact highly favorable, in
mortuary point of view, to the hos
pital Another fact of no little i'm
portance just now to nyof our cit
zens, is, that only 3 out of the G
claimed to have had the disease bC
fore all the rest were indisputabl
first attacks. This table of cases ais
proves the fallacy of the very prevt
lent idea that venereal diseases act q
preventives to yellow fever quite th
contrary is shown.
In conclusion, permit me to ad
that, owing to the popular prejudiC
, before alluded to, the hospital ha
capacity for five times the number {
cases that have been treated so far.
| have the honor to be, respectful!
! your obedient servant,

Hospital Physician.

The Reason Why.

Tho Democrats in Congress are asked to
abandon Mr.. RANDALL, who has proved
himself n capable Speaker Of the House, and
put in his place Mr.. BLACKBURN OF Ken
lucky.
Now. on what grounds is the election Of
Mr.. BLACKBURN urged
on the grounds thath Is n Southern man /;
that he represents the southern sentiment (;
and that he is not unfricndly to some jobs
and schemes to which Mr.. RANDALL has
been sturdily opposed.
Thus we see the election Of a now Speaker
insisted upon by the South on sectional CON
siderations.
When the South is weak, then the South Is
very warmly in favor of eschcwing all sec
tionalsm. Bnt wherever the South is able
toassert its sectional strength, that strength
Is sure to be asserted.
There are only two objections to Mr.. RAN
DH.L. namely:
/. He is Northern man.
II. He Is incorruptiblc.
II will bc interesting and instructive to
observe how much strength Mr.. BLACKBURN
can muster in opposition to Mr.. RANDALL
rs candidate for Speaker II may exert
an important influence on the next Pres-
Dental election.
