THERE is an important movement
among the Jews to return to the agri-
cultural life which they followed in Pal
lstine down to the time of Josephus, the
destruction Of their temple, the subse-
quent breaking up Of their government
and nationality, an1 their scattering
throughout the world. The prejudice
against the Jewish race became so great
at one time that it was impossible for
them to hold real estate, and they were
consequently compelled to engage in
pursuits in which they could conceal
their wealth. Now it is proposed to
establish Jewish colonies on the public
lands Of the United States. where as of
old they may sit under their own vines
and fix trees. They will not return to
Palestine, which. like the ancient city
Of jerusalem, is worn out and not
worth occupying as n free gift, but will
turn their attention to the free and gor-
ious West.

A SING ULAR story comes from the
Maine state prison: James A. Lowell
was convicted in 1873, at Lewiston, Of
the murder of his wife, Lizzie, whose
supposed skeleton was found in the woods
Lowell was sentenced to be hanged, but
the sentence was committed to imprison-
ment for life. 1t is now ascertained that
Mrs. Lowell is living in Saginaw, Michi
gan, as the wife of man named Spald
ing, and that she does not deny her iden-
tity. Lowell, when on trial, had claimed
that his wife ran away with toe employee
Of a circus. Should it be sustained by
legal evidence that the woman in Sagi
nav is the wife for the alleged killing of
whom Lowell was sentenced to be hang
ed, the case will prove to be one of inter =
est in criminal annals.

A BLUNDER AND IT'S REwARD.-Dur-
his visit to Paris NJ. Lassalle, a Gistin-
guished German, presented himselfat the
house Of n well known lady, to whom he
had sent letters Of introduction in prac-
tce. When the servant opened the door
and received his card she conducted him
to the boudoir and told him to be seated
saying: MADAM will come immediate
ly'"
Presently the lady entered. She was in
dishabile and her feet were bare covered
or ~ with loose slippers. She bowed to
him careessly and said: "Ah, there you
are good morning.
She threw herself on sofa, let tall a
slipper and reached out to Lassale her
very pretty foot.
Lassalle was naturally completely as
founded, but he remembered that at his
home in Germany, it was the custom
sometimes to kiss lady's hand, and he
supposed it was the Paris mode to kiss

more generous than kissing the hand.
The lady jumped up, highly.indignant,
"Who are you, sir, and what do you
mean?"
He gave his name.
"You are not then, a corn doctor?"
II am charmed to say, Madame, that l
am not.
But you sent me the corn doctors
card?"
1t was true. Lassalle in goirg out that
morning had picked up the card of corn
doctor from his bureau and put it in his
pocket. Without glancing ut it, he had
given it to She servant who had taken it to
her mistress. There was nothing to do
but laugh over the joke. .-Fo1neyS Pro,

DANIEL WEBSTER had an anecdote of
old father Searl, the minister of his boy
hood, which is too gopd to be lost. It
was customary then TO wear buckskin
breeches in cold weather. One Sunday
morning in autumn, Father Searl brought
his breeches down from the garret, but
the wasps had taken possession during the
summer, and were having nice time.
BY dint of effort he got out the intruders
and dressed for meeting. But while read
ing the Scripture TO the congregation he
felt dagger from one of the enraged
small waisled fellows, and jumped around
the pulpit slapping his thighs. But the
more he slapped and danced the more
they stung. The people thought him
crazy, but he explained the matter by
saying: Brethren, don't be alarmed
the word of the Lord is in my mouth, but
the devil is in my breeches p Webster
always tod it with great glee to the min
isters.

HOW THEY GOT SHORTENED.

A certain gentleman purchased a pair
of pants a few days ago, which, upon
being tried on at home, he found to be
too long. That night he remarked to
his wife that he wished to take ofabout
an INCH from each leg, which would
make them the desired length. Being
fond of teasing her husband, she told
him that she shouldn't do ANYTHING OF
the kind. and he retired without hav-
ing obtained a promise from her that
she would attend TO the matter.
Soon after he had left for his room,
however, she, es a matter Of course,
clipped off the superfuous inch, as she
had been asked to do. The family is
composed of six female members, and
each one Of the Ave, who we're in ad.
joining rooms, heard the dispute between
man and wife, and after the latter had
taken off the required inch and retired
the old lady, desiring to keep peace
in the family" and not knowing what
her daughter in law had done, cautious
ly slipped in the room and cut of an
other inch.
In this way did each of the five ladies
unknown to the other, and all with the
praiseworthy object of preventing any
misunderstanding between the couple
clip an inch from the legs Of the gem
tleman's trousers.
The following morning, all uncon'
scious Of what had taken place during
the night, he rolled up his pants in 9
piece of paper, and took them to the
tailor to be shortened to the desired
length. Upon a hasty glance the latter
ventured the opinion that they were al
ready short ; but the owner insisted tha
they were fully an inch too long. The
tailor had no more to say, and our frien(
retired.
On the following Saturday he called
for the pants and took them home, ond
was supremacy disgusted at finding that
his legs reached only trihe below the
knee. He straightway accused the tailor
but his vito heard him, and came t.
the rescue, explaining that she had TAX
en- an inch from each Of the legs, and
her acknowled dgment was discovered tha'
altogether the legs had been shortened
to the extent of seven inches. .-ALten'

RICH AND POOR.

some way, he robs the poor. They forget
that, when a fine house is reared, it takes
the la Dor of great many poor men TO
construct it. Some carve the stones, others
quarry the stone, others grade the lot,
others get out the rough timbers in the
common woods, others search for the fine
woods of Central America and the islands,

New York judges seem to be dis
pensing some common-sen justice just

kind of thieves, robbng poor people and
servant girls of their hard earnings for
your own benefit, and ostensibly for the
benefit of charitable institution, and |
intend to impose the full penalty pre-
scribed by law-three years in State

A sKEPTICAL young fellow attended a
seance recently whereat spirit was in
the habit of appearing and walking across
the room. The bad Young man tossed a
number of large headed tacks on the
floor. The ghost paused suddenly near
the door OF the cabinet and put his hand
to the sole of its foot, at the next step it
drew up the other with suppressed
"outch." Further progress was mposs-
ible. Down sat the nnturaized spirit
from heaven and relieved himself with n
string OF frst-elass profanity. Such happy
thoughts put in practice do more good

INTERPRETING COURTsHIP. - In
Iowa few days ago a rather singular
marriage took place. The groom was an
Englishman who could not understand a
word Of German, and the bride was a
Germaness who could not understand a
word of English. The courtsh ip of these
antipodal people was fully as remarkable
as their union. 1t was carried on by
mutual friend, a young German who was
versed in the mysteries OF English, and
who interpreted the gutterals of two da-
lec:s into the beautiful language Of love.
It was necessarily brief courtship. The
difficulty Of rendering the thoughts of
each unto the other would tend to shorten
the matter, and then the wear and tear
on the interpreter would preclude a very
long siege. To repeat to her the words of
devotion from the lover were easy enough,
and her tenderness in return were not i'm
possible tasks, but the climaxes took his
strength. To earn the consent of kiss,
embrace or caress by the tenderest elo-
quence, and chen to step aside and let
another man take ito have his nerves
excited TO the highest degree of pleasure
Bile anticipation, and then to be obliged to
sit suddenly down upon them while anoth-
er man sailed in and plucked the joy,
could not fail 20 exhaust the stoutest ma
ture in a very short time. 1t is del
cious pastime to eat luscious fruit from
tree, but it is wearing on the step-ladder;
and so we are not surprised to learn that
when the bridal couple took their tour the
interpreter took 10 his Danbury
Nelcs.

How THURIow WEED FOOLED HIM
sELF.-Among other stories about these
supplies for political campaigns is one at
the expense of Thurlow Weed. He went
from Albany, whore he then resided, down
to New York, in 1865, and obtained from
the Seward men fund to enable him to
defeat Fillmore. Having a dread of in
vestigations, he placed $40, 900 in an AL
bsny bank to the credit of his partner. TO
be drawn out as it might be needed. A
few days afterwards the partner dropped
dead in the street, and the bank paid over
the money, with the other sums deposited
by him, to his widow. This was not
agreeable 10 Mr.. Weed, but his disgust
was increased when, couple Of years
later, Mr.. Fillmore wooed and married
the widow-and the $4,000. Chicago
