A little daughter of James NJ. Lamb,
on Dry creek, above Walla Walla,
died instantly last week, the circum-
stances attending her death being
both remarkable and extraordinary.
a month or two previous she had an
attack of diphtheria, from which she
had, apparently, entirely recovered.
On the morning of her death she
seemed unusually vivacious, and after
playing around the house got up into
her sisters lap to partake of some
food from her hands. The little one
took one spoonful only when she fell
back and expired.

THE JEWS IN CHINA.

The following are extracts from an in
teresting account of the remnants of
the Jews of China, appearing in the re-
Gently published annual report of the
Anglo-Jewish Association. 1t is made
by j. J.. Lieberman, merchant of Vi
emma, who was the first European Jew
to penetrate into the regions of which
he speaks:
Jews immigrated into Cochin from
Europe about four hundred years ago,
and became possessed Of numerous black
slaves of both sexes. In the course of
time they manumitted their slaves, who
became vigorously attached to the jew
ish religion. The descendants of those
slaves increased very largely and re-
ceived some instructions in Judaism
from European Jews, arriving in Cochin.
Many of the Black Jews have Joined the
British Army, in which they are regarded
as valuable and faithful soldiers.
In July, 1867, [ came to the city of
Kae-fung-foo in the district of Ho-nan
six hours distant from the river Ho-ang-
70 (Which means the Golden River).

CHICAGO, AUGUST 1, 1870.

upon which Oar COcnDa was flQlnS Jne |
lion fell under his rider with a fear
full roar, but he suddenly arose and
ran into the Roman army, where he
killed, devoured, and trod down, like
destroying demon from whom none can
save, until he was pierced with sharp
ened arrows, and fell dead on the ground.
But he again gathered his remaining
strength, and crawled upon his belly un-
til he came to the feet of his master the
king, whom he dearly loved, when he lay
down before him, looked at him with
gloomy countenance, heaved his last sigh,
and was dead. The king bowed his head
upon his faithful servant, in order to pat
his head for the last time, when deadly
arrow came flying from some unknown
part OF the army, penetrated his shield,
and entered his left side so that he fell
backwards with terrible cry of pain.
Immense confusion prevailed in the
army, who all surrounded their murdered
king, but Papus with his soldiers at
tackled the Romans in hot anger, and re-
newed the terrible battle. The heroes
Of Bethar fell upon their enemies with
fearful yells, and showered arrows and
missiles, fire and fame, stones and deadly
weapons upon their heads. They re-
tained their places like iron pillars, they
stood in their positions, nor did they lay
aside their swords until they were
slaughtered by the Romans, and not
one of them remained in life.
Night spread it's mournful veil over
the battlefield, which was covered with
the dead and wounded. The Romans
had been exhausted, wounded and di-
minished, and had retired to their tents.
but on the solitary battlefield could be
szsens image, moving as silently as
a demon; the image was that of Pa
pus, the Samaritan, who had aimed the
deadly missile at the lion of Judah's
hero, and who in the evil of his heart
had murdered Shimeon. The cursed
Samaritan made his way among the
corpses, looking for the body of Shimeon
Bar Cochba. When he had found it, he
knelt down and whispered into Shine
on's ear:
Il pray you, 0 king messiah, to love
Papus and to bless him, because he has
brought you to your beloved Keturah." "
When he had thus spoken, he took his
sword and cut off the head of the king,
who had fallen in battle like hero; he
brought that head to Rufus and Severus,
and they sent it to Hadrian. But from
the forest which was near to the battle
field there issued huge serpent, who
entwined the bodies of king Shimeon
and Of the lion who lay at his feet, as a
commemorative sign that the strength
of Judah's lion had failed through the
cunning of the Samaritan, the serpent
which was more deceitful than all the
beasts of the field

Inter Tor to arrest the depredatous on the timber
lands of the United States have been continued,

cuted In the courts Of the United States.
