Books of travel are always interesting,

have been written about, for no two travellers view
a country or a people from the same standpoint
The land of Palestine the early home of that scat
tered race, the Jews, has been trayersed by many
observant men, who have recorded their impress

calities, made sacred in the eyes of the CnrlStlah

terest for, aside from the attractive manner IN
which the places visited are described, the au-
thor has endeavored TO elucidate theory which
he has set forth in his introduction of the praen-
cability of inducing return OF the Jews to their
original land, and ultimately again acquiring an
individual government or separate autonomy.
The peculiar advantage of this return of the Jews
to Palestine to the government Of Turkey is
shown and it is also shown that an alliance with
so wealthy and cosmopolitan a people would be
of benefit 10 any government having interests in
the East.

THERESE RAQUIN: A Novel By EMILE ZoLA.
Translated by John Sterling. Philadelphia: i.
B. Peterson & Brothers

IHERESE RAQUlN: A Novel. by EMILE lola
Translated by John Sterling. Philadelphia: T..
B. Peterson & Brothers.
A new work by the author of LAS
sommoir," Mana and other powerful novels,
naturally excites an interest on account of the
recognized ability of the writer, and in the book
before US Zoas high reputation is fully justi-
fed. "Therese Raquin" is the story of murder
skillfully planned and skinfully executed.
But this is by no means all. The descrip-
ton of the remorse that swiftly followedSon the
dastardly crime-remorse that transformed the
guilty love ofthe murderers into hate and leathing
is given with such power that one shivers at the
picture. The haunting presence of the murdered
husband by night and by day, and the climax, the
natural outgrowth of the crime, could only have
been drawn by the master pen of lola, whose
talent-we may almost say genius cannotb be ques-
toned; for he analyses most profoundly, some of
his descriptions of French life being equal TO any
thing ever written by Dickens or Thackeray. He
never makes vice lovely never paints it in allur-
ing tints, never strews its pathway with flowers.
He is simply, literally and pitessly true to life in
his powerful delineations.

MEXICAN DEVELOPMENT T.-CHICAGO,-
MAX 1.-THE Inter-Ocean has received a
letter from its correspondent who accom-
panied Gen. Grant to Mexico, in which
it is announced the General has secured
the railroad concession he went there to
obtain from the Mexican Government.
The letter says the contract sought by the
General in behalf of his company will be
thoroughly canvassed by the Government
and its acceptance practically determined
upon and as certain necessary fOrmalities
completed with final action will be taken
in accordance Herewith. Gen. Grant
was never more popular with Mexicans
than to-day. A telegram of welcome
from the Mexican president awaited his
arrival at Vera Cruz. Ex-senator Chat
fee and q. S. Grant, Jr., are on their way
to the United States. Engineers sent
out by Capt Eads some months ago to
make surveys for the proposed ship rail-
way across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec
have discovered two practicable routs one
by way of Tarifa Pass and the other by
way of Chavela, not only practicable but
both of them more favorable for the con-
struction of the road than had been an
ticipated. The::Captain has been giving
contracts Of designing system of improv-
ment for the harbor of Vera Cruz, and is
busy engaged in arranging plans for that
work. The additional legislation sought
by him on the subject of his inter-ocean
ship railway is already in an advanced
stage and everywhere regarded as certain
to be duly accomplished.

CHANG IN PLYMoTH CHURCH.-Chang
the Chinese giant made his way leisurely
down the aisle in Plymouth Church,
Brooklyn, last Sunday morning, and,
seating himself in S. V. Whites pew,
took up space ample for three persons,
and listened earnestly to Mr.. Beecher.
In place of his native suit war substitut-
ed suit of blue flannel, while he had a
low-crowed Derby hat. There was a
general craning of necks to see him after
the service was over, and Mr.. Beecher, in
a loud tone of voice, was compelled to
ask the members of his flock to move and
not block up the aisles. In his sermon
Mr.. Beecher asked for volunteers to in
crease the number of teachers in the Ply
mouth Sunday-school One sermon he
said was more than most persons practic-
ed, and one sermon was enough to listen
to ifit was good, and too much if it was
not good. The second sermon always
drove out his first one, and for that rea-
son he asked for volunteers to come and
assist in his Sunday-school work rather
than go to church so much.

OUTDOOR RELIEF.

MADISON, May 18.-Mr. A. O. Wright,
Secretary of the State Board of Charities,
in response to request of information to
be used at the July meeting of the Nation
al Conference of Charities in Boston, to
day forwarded to Seth Low, chairman of
the Committee Of Out Door Relief, the fol-
lowing:
Outdoor relief is administered by the
town officers (supervisors), except where
the county system prevails, and there by
the county superintendents of the poor.
All persons actually in need are support
ed in this way unless brought to the
poorhouse In many counties there are
no poorhouses, and all the poor are. out
door poor.
In Polk, st. Croix, Marathon, Monroe,
Adams, Vernon, Richland, Sauk, Colum
bia, Iowa, Dane Jefferson, Washington,
Green Rock and Waworth counties, the
county has entire charge of all the poor,
In Kenosha, Crawford, Marquette, Green
Lake, Sheboygan, Waushara, Manitowoc,
La Crosse, and nearly the entire north
ern half of the State, the towns take
care of their own poor, and charge all
transient poor to the county In Mil
waukee, Waukesha, Ozaukee, Dodge,
Grant, Lafayette, Fond du Lac, Winnie
bago, Brown and Pierce, the counties
keep all transient poor, and all insane
and idiots in the poorhouses are tempo
rarily relieved. The system is a mixed
enc, the care and cost of the poor being
shared by the towns and counties there
in.
Outdoor relief is almost universally a
good thing. Pauperism is daily dimin-
ishing in Wisconsin, notwithstanding our
growth of population This is owing to
the fact that we do not breed pauperism In
poorhouses but strictly forbid children to
be educated there, and to the fact that
the relief of the poor is very close to the
people. The only danger is in our largest
towns The abuses of outdoor relief
given lavishly and ;1discriminately in
Milwaukee have been remedied in the
past two years. Elsewhere there never
have been any serious abuses.
About one in every $50 of the popula-
tion has received full support or tempo
rary aid and about one in $50 received
full support outside of the poorhouse.
The mixed system of poor relief, which
leaves the outdoor relief to the towns, is
gaining in favor Brown Winnebago and
Fond du Lac counties have all recently
adopted it, having before been under the
old county system. The result has been a
decrease in pauperism. The tendency in
Wisconsin is 70 keep the poorhouse as a
last resort, and avoid pauperizing the
people, especially widows with children.
The necessary consequence is an increase
in outdoor relief for the time being but a
great saving of money and humanity in
! the end.

OHIO PRoHIB1TIoNIsTs.- s.-CoLUMBUs,
May 19.-The Peoples Temperance Re
form Association met in second days
session this morning. The following is
the substance of the resolution adopted:
That they, the temperance people.
would not support any member who aid
ed in the defeat of the local option bill !;
that they will not support any admins
tration officer who is capable of using his
influence against the enactment of law,
which can only serve the public good;
they will not again support any state
officer who aided in the defeat of the To-
cal option bill; that although the next
election is of great importance for the
reason that the next legislature will re-
district the state, yet the temperance line
will be drawn in favor of those men " 40
will support temperance laws, that the
state constitution of the state should be
so amended as to empower the general as
sembly to prohibit the manufacture and
sale of Liquors: that it is the duty of all
temperance people to attend all primary
meetings of both political parties and see
that only temperance men are sent to the
state and county conventions; that if the
great political parties fail to nominate
candidates who are in favor of temper
ance, then convention will be called to
nominate state temperance ticket.

TURKISH WIVES.

First among the Turkish social topics
is that of the harem, The Koran allows
Mussulman to have four wives; and many
persons have consequently imagined that
polygamy is a rule in Turkey, whereas it
is The exception. A Mussulman may
only have as many wives as he can keep
in comfort; and it is only the very rich
who can afford four. The middle class
have only one wife apiece; the men of
the lowest class are often obliged to re-
main single from not having the means
to support cons rt in the style which
the Mosel laws enioins Nothing can be
more un-Turkish than the Mormon idea
OF accumuIating number of women to
live under one roof, quarreiing in the
kitchen and parlor, and acting as house.
hold drudges for their husband The Turk
ish wife is not slave; the chief fault to
find with her is that she has too lofty a
sense OF her own dignity. An advocate
of female rights would have some difficult
ty in persuading her that her lot was pi-
table; she has never envied the emanci-
patton of Christian women, whose free
ways shock her; while she has noticed
that they get much less respect from the
men of their faith than that which is in
variably vouchsafed to herself. She wells
her face with no more regret than West
ern lady unveils her shoulders. Turk
ish women are not shut up They 60
out when they please, attended by their
odelks if rich, or holding their hands;
and their magpie voices fill the bazaars,
for they are noisy takers. When they
pass, men of all creeds stand aside de-
ferentially. IF husband meets wife on
the street, he makes no sign of recogni-
ton; if he perceives her halting before a
diapers stall and gazing significantly at
silk dearer than he can afford, he must
possess his soul in resignation, muttering
''Mashalla" The respect for women
prevails also in the home circle, and it
comes naturally to the Mussulman, who
has been taught from his boyhood to be-
have courteously to the other sex. The
Western conjugal expression about
''wearing the breeches'' has its Turkish
counterpart in the phrase to olive under
the slipper" and it is to be feared that
not few Turks know the taste of this
implement of ouxorial persuasion. A
hamal (street porter once came before a
Cadi to complain that the wife trounced
him too frequently. ''see what mine
does," answered the magiitrate, opening
his gown and showing some weals on the
neck and shoulders. ''Go thy way, my
son, and thank Allah thou art luckier
| than T."

A WoMAN's WH1Ms.-The Emprel

A WoMAN's WHIMs.-The Empress
Josephine had 600, 1000 francs for her own
personal expenses; but this sum was not
suffi, a. 1t, and her debts creased to an
appalling degree Notwithstanding the
riches of her husband, she could never
submit to either order or etiquette in her
private life. She rose at o'clock. Her
toilet consumed much time, and she law
ished unwearied efforts on the preserva-
ton and establishment of her person.
She changed her linen three times day,
and never wore any stockings that were
not new. Huge baskets were brought to
her containing different kinds of dresses
shawls, and hats. From these she select
ed her costume for the day. She possesses
between 800 and 400 shawls, and she al
ways wore one in the morning, which
she draped about her shoulders with ur-
equaled grace. She purchased all that
were brought to her no matter at what
price. The evening toilet was as careful
as that of the morning then she appeared
with flowers, pearls or precious stones in
her hair. The smallest assembly, was al
ways an occasion for her to order a new
costume, in spite of the boards of dresses
in the various palaces. Bonaparte was
irritated by these expenditures; he would
fly into passion, and his wife: would
weep and promise to be more prudent;
after which she would go on in the same
way, it is almost incredible that this pas
sion for dress should never have exhaust
ed itself. After the divorce she arrayed
herself with the same care, even when
she saw no one. She died covered with
ribbons and pale rose-colored satin.
