The Persecution OF the Jews.

The Jews have been from all time an
exclusive people pride Of race aud con-
tempt Of the Gentiles round about them
distinguished them already in the day.
when they warred against the Amalekitcs.
They sincerely and truly believed that il
was not pleasing to Him that His children
should act like the peoples round about
them. Eighteen centuries Of cruel, sense
less prosecutions, Of enforced exclusion
III. M intermixture with other nations, OF
inter-marriage in small communities,
have intensified oil the distinctive physi-
cal and mental features OF tho Jews, SO
that not only their good but their bad
qualities have become accentuated. Not
even the eighteenth century, 50 ready to
boast on its enlightenment, had opened
the gates Of the Ghetto and accorded
civil liberties to people who, Of all peo-
pies, IRE peace-loving, law-abiding aud
least likely to abuse these privileges.
The gates have now been thrown down,
the liberties freely granted, and it is
difficult TO foretell what the Jew will be a
few centuries hence-indeed, if there will
he Jews left at all. They are far too rs
similative, far too kcen-sighted, not to he
affected by and to recognize the propri.
ETY. inherent in, the cosmopolitan ten
denotes Of the present day. For our.
selves, we have no faith in the schemes
Of enthusiasts portrayed by Daniel
Deronda and his friend Mordecai, in the
national restoration Of the Jewish people,
and feel convinced that, were theattemp,
made, it would result in q mere exodus
Of the scum Of the population. What
has distinguished the Jewish people and
kept theaa nation SO long is the fact
that thet. nationality is notrooted in thu
land from which they have SO long been
absent, but in the law, which they can
bear about with them everywhere. Tie
Jews are at present in transitional state.
1t is commonly said it takes three genel.
atoms to make gentleman. 1t mus,

Sleep.

There is no danger OF wearing thi
subject threadbare, for people are be
ginning to wake up to the fact that
plenty Of sleep is requisite to health,
particularly in the case Of hrain-workers.
The more sleep the brain gets the better
it does the brain work. All great BRAIN
workers have been great slcepers. Sir
Walter Scott could never do with less
than ten hours. A fool may want eight
hours, AS George Ill. said, but a philos-
opher wants nine. The men who have
been the greatest generals are the men
who could sleep ut will. Thus it was
with both Wellington aud Napoleon.
The greatest speakers in the House Of
Commons have been tile men who go to
sleep there as much as they like. This
explained the juvenility Of the aged
Palmerston. Sleep is in many cases the
best Of medicines. A friend told mo
that he treated himself for fever. He
went to bed with large pitcher Of

lemonade by Ills side. He drank and
slept, slept and drank, till he drank and
slept himself well again. When you
take to your bed get MI the sleep You
can out of your ledstead, even although,
to quote Dick Swivellcr's saying, you
have to pay for double-bcd,lc room,
confessing that you have taken most
unreasonable amount Of sleep out Of a
single bed. You will lie banking Il
whole store of rccuperative energy. II
is safe to say Of my man that il he
sleeps well he will do well.

TRIPPING WITH PUBLIC FACTS.

Shortly after the public statement was
made that the Supervisors of this county
could have received S.. 1000 each to place tie
suits brought BIZ the county against the hy-
draulic miners in doubtful hands," Dis
trict Attorney Buckley, believing that tie
statement had been mads in good faith, de-
termined to prosecute whoever might have
made the alleged corrupt proposition to the
Supervisors. In his capacity az prosecuting
officer for the county he sought information
upon the subject Of the alleged corruption by
applying TO headquarters, and to all who
might be supposed to be in possession of evil
dence leading to the detection of the
criminal parties. The District Attorney
states that to bis surprise he found no ore in
possession of any facts upon the subject
Even those who had set the story afioat adj
mitted to hin that they had nothing upon
which to allege that Anybody stood ready to
give the Supervisors s., COO each, or any other
sum, and that they knew of no proposition of
the kind having been made. In the briefest
and plaiDest English, the story was wholly
fiction. 1t apears, therefore, that there was
not at any time any foundation in fact for
the allegation published. At least this is the
conclusion of the District Attorney after
careful and, in E sense, judicial investigation.
Or. as one citizen puts it, there were no
wicked miners nor virtuous Supervisors.

METALLIC AHTI-REsoEANrERs.

It is known that resonances in public
halls can be modified or prevented by
stretching wires across the ceilings, and the
principle has been rudely applied in a num-
Der of instances with fairly satisfactory
results. A. C. Engler, of London, has in
vented a plan for systematic arrangement
of steel plates, or wires, which promises to
accomplish the object more completely.
most gentle vibrations and greatly TO in
crease the speed of transmission. Wires
have 4 similar property, and are
more convenient. In the most advan-
tageoas application of Mr.. Egsler's
invention, one or more layers of steel
wires are stretched along the length Of the
room, few feet below the ceiling, con-
nected by cross- wires and spiral Syringe,
and properly tuned, so that the vibration
may be absorbed and conveyed from one
wire to another, and instantaneously
spread over the whole building +; and the
words of the speaker or the notes of the
singer are so accelerated that they reach
the audience about fifteen times more
quickly than under ordinary arrange
inenis The effect is improved aud the
tone enriched by using steel plates.
The system has been applied-inper-
fectly, for the wires had to stop Short of
the wall at one end-in lecture-rcom at
the South Kensington Museum of uoto-
riously bad acoustic properties. Twenty
eight lengths OF steel wire were stretched
across distance of sixty feet, ard con-
nected at the END by steel-wire springs
Above them we're three other steel wires,
connected with the lever group, so as to
form a perfect network of wires. The
effect was complete distribution of the
sound, so that speaker st the lecturers
table could be heard distinctly in any part
of the thea.er, and all the acoustic detects
of the hall were considerably mitigated.
