band also left the city which had be-
come so dear to her, and made her home
in Ferrara Here she became the centre
of circle of all the learned people of
the city, both Jews and Gentiles she
was protectress Of knowledge, and
lovingly sympathized with the poor and
forsaken. In 1854, she followed her
husband, who had been dead three years,
into eternity.
Not quite as familiar as Bienvenida
are the names of two Polish women. CO.
eval with her and, like her, closely con-
nected with an Italian princess.
Chawa and Esther Fishel, the for
mer the mother, the latter the wife of
DIR. Moses Fishel, of Crakau, were maids
of honor of Princess Bona Sforza, of Mi
Ian, who, after the death of the Queen
of Milan, in 1916, had been brought from
Poland as consort, by King Sieismund I.
Nothing more definite is known of the
two Fishels though, very likely, it was
due to their influence that the Jews of
Poland were protected from all prose
cutions, while in the Spanish Peninsula
and in Italy the flames of the inquisi-
ton were continually blazing.
The Jewish advance., 1880-06-04
BY II. ELIASSOF.

Most of the Russian Jews came to
Russia from Poland, where they had
been living since the XIV century
having been invited there by Cassimel
the Great, King of Poland. Since they
became Russian subjects their life has
been one endless chain of inhuman per
secutions, with but few intervals OF
milder treatment. At present there are
about tree millions of Jews in Russia
the greatest part of them living in the
so-called Polish provinces and Lithuania.
The large cities Of these provinces, and
| there are comparatively but few of them,
are literally overcrowded with Israelites.
Although they are skillful mechanics,
shrewd merchants, and fill every craft
and profession, from blacksmith to art
engraver. from chimney sweep to fresco
painter, etc, they can exc out only a
miserable living Asin all overcrowded
cities there is not much of a middle
class, a few are rich and the most are
very poor
Until few years ago there was no
public school system in Russia, and the
visit any of the schools of the country.
The Jews were too poor and too ortho-
dox to establish secular schools for
themselves, and their children grew up
without any knowledge Of the world,
outside the "cheder' elementary He
brew schooD or, Jeshiba," (Talmudi-
cal High-school.) The great days of
reform which in the time of Moses Men
delsohn, rose for the Jews in Germany,
dawned also over the horizon of the
Russian Jews, rejecting a dim light in
many Jewish community here and
there awakening a few to a new morning
and a better life. The irresistible in
fuence Of Germany would undoubtedly
have proven very beneficial to all the
Russian JeWs-for under the reigns of
Catherine II, and Alexander l. the Jews
enjoyed an existence somewhat i'm
proved from that under previous mon
archs,-but for the cruelty and severe
tyrannical treatment of the poor Jews
by Gar Nicholas, the unlawful success
sor of Alexander l., that cruel moster
in the form of a human being, who for
30 years, (from 1925-55,) maltreated
them in the most shameful and inhuman
manner In his blind endeavor to Rus
sianizc all the different nationalities and
to unite the many denominations or ms
vast Empire in the Greek Catholic
Church. the mother religion of Russia,
he ordered the Jewish children to be
taken away from their parents, to be
transported to Asiatc Russia, and there
to be raised and trained as soldiers for
the army. Thousands of Jewish infants
were stolen from the streets and hurried
away to the interior of Siberia; there
they were baptized as Greek Catholics,
and were forever lost to their parents
and to Judaism. Some returned to their
birth places after many years, but they
had forgotten all about their families
and were strangers among their own
kindred. Many a touching incident is
told of the life of the forced converts,
and | will relate one which lately read
| in Hebrew Journal, published at St.

HEROINES.

Heroines are pictured to us in every
century, in modern as well as in ancient
history. Ofwomen who have risked all,
who have not even Stunned death for
the sake Of morality -theirmost precious
iewel-the Jewish race, whose inheri-
tance is virtue and chastity, has many
but the names Of only few of them are
known history is not sufficiently de-
tailed to portray so many heroic sacri-
fees Hence, we give here only singu
lar and detached examples.
In the latter half of the 10th century,
four learned Jews wandered from Sura,
the seat ola once fourishing, then deter
iorated High-schooI, to procure, abroad,
means for the support Of their Acade
my. Near the Grecian coast they were
captured and taken prisoners by the
Moorish-Spanish Admiral, lbn Ruma
his. One of these four learned men,
Rabbi Moses, the founder Of the Jewish
Academy in Cordova, which afterward
became SO celebrated, was accompanied
upon this voyage by his wife and his
little son. On this beautiful young
woman, whose name history has not i'm
parted to US, the Admiral had cast his
eyes her honor was endangered. Weep
ing she ran to her husband, asking him
in the Hebrew tongue whether those
drowned at sea would also be resurrccted;
and when he answered that they would,
quoting verse from the Psalm The
Lord speaketh From Bashan will |
restore them, restore them out of the
depths of the sea" " she flung herself
into the waters and saved her virtue i'll
death.
When. in 1882, Andreas Doria, admi-
raj of Emperor Charles V, gained the
Grecian States, Koran and Patras, by
conoucring the Turks, the Jews residing
there were abandoned to pillage and
robbery, and were compelled to flee from
the states. Among the exiles who sought
a new homo in Italy was brave woman
Esther. the wife Of the esteemed Jacob
Cohen. She was very beautiful, and the
captain of the ship beseiged her. Her
entreaties and avowals were powerless
to check 3his plots upon her virtue. At
last she feigned obedience covering her
face she flung herself from the ship
into the sea, and thus escaped his polu-
ton.
The time during which the wars of the
Cossacks ragged, fully 10 years, (1648-
1658), under the leadership of the treach-
erous Chmielnicki when all Poland
was devastated and over 0O00 of Jews,
were swept away is not barren Of similar
acts Of heroism.
A beautiful girl of rich and highly
respected parentage, was borne from
Niemirow by a Cossack to become his
wife. Before he had an opportunity to
wed her. she insiduously communicated
to him that she held in her possession
secret mystical shield, which had the
power to protect her from the harm Of
all weapons. "If you do not credit my
words" she said OHM, convince your
self by firing at me- You may confden-
TALLY do so, for it will not hurt me"
The Cossack, trusting her assurance,
fired, in his delusion she fell, and hal
lowed the name of God.

wise about to be welded to a Cossack.
She entreated that the wedding might
take place in the church situated on the
opposite side of the bridge. He granted
her wish and with the music Of trum-
pets and tymbals was about to lead her
to the altar. But upon reaching the
bridge she flung herself into the waters
and sank forever.
Similar Incidents we are informed by
contemporary chronicler, multiplied
themselves in such numbers, that it is
impossible to enumerate them.
Instances Of heroic courage are also
to be found in modern times.
1t was the second year after the Sui
tan, Abdul Aziz's, succession to the
throne, when, early one morning, follow
ed by his glittering staff, he rode through
the filthy streets Of the Ghetto towards
the capital. Jephta, the charming
daughter of the rich Jew, Abira, peered
curiously through the narrow easement
at the novel and magnificent array pass
ing before her. Neither did she escape
notice The dav had not vet passed when
the Sultan sent for her. and she was in
troduced into the harem. Her rich
father who paid yearly tax Of thousands
of piastres, received twenty, the usual
ransom, from the body servant Of the
chief Eunuch in exchange of which he
was in SO far bopored that he saw his
only daughter an inmate of the harcm.
The four customary weeks of cleansing
and anointing had not vet expired, when
.Jephta was blessed with the small silk
kerch;ef Of the Sultan, Night dropped
her dense veil over the Stamboul. Jephta
was TO be led to Abdul Aziz but in
nlaco of the embrace he SO LONELY
