Jewish 0stracism in America.

Let us examine how far the Jew
may he anSWerable for the prejudice
which exists against him. 1t is true
that the body of rich Jews in Amer
ica fails to display the culture that
wealth de mands. Compared with
his Christian neighbor whose equal
atf1uence opens similar advantages.

pleasing appearance. Reaching this

mutation were enormous: with a
mercantile aptitude developing by
long centuries of enforced cennne.
ment to trade, the Hebrew mounted
rapidly to the top of the CONNER
cial ladder. Dazzled with the new
freedom of America, bewildered by
the privileges which the almighty
dollar could purchase, the emigrant
directed his energies in that road to
power and comfort which appeared
to him the most available highway.
He was not slow to learn the tricks
and subterfuges of American trade.

Baltimore '0riole Pageant.

The citizens of Baltimore are bus
lily engaged in making preparations
for a celebration which shall surpass
in splendor and magnificence any
thing of the kind ever witnessed in the
Monumental City. Baltimore is the
most conservative city in the country,
and she has the reputation of moving
slowly, but when she has once deci-
ded on any scheme that is likely to
prove advantageous to the citizens
and their business connections In
other States, she goes in with vim
to make the project worthy of her
name and reputation. In the present
instance the festival will continue
three days, the 10th, 1lth and 18th
of October, and more fitting season
could not be chosen.
The people of the city are enthu-
siastic over the project, and have con.
tributed literally to make the cele-
bratiOn u brilliant success. Commit
tees of prominent business men have
been appointed to superinted the
arrangements, and special arrange
ments have been made with the hotels
and railroads, SO that advantages
shall not be- taken of the strangers
that are expected to be present. The
railroads and steamboats, have prom
ised half rates good for the entire
week, and the hotels, restaurants and
dining-saloons have promised to lay
in additional supplies with no in
crease of charge to the customer.
The festivities of the first day

well, you see, Judge, I sold YOU
one day a very nice pine log, and
bargained with you for a lot more.
Well, that long stole off your pile,
down by your mill, the night before,
and the next day l sold it to YOU.
The next night 1 drew it back home.
and sold 1t to you the next day, and
so kept on until you bought your
own log of me twenty.seyen times"
"Thats lie ~ exclaimed the in
furiated Judge, running to his books
and examining his log account. "you
never sold me twenty-seven logs of
the same measurement
IL know it," said the vendor of
logs. "By drawing it back and forth
the end wore off until it was only ten
feet long-just fourteen feet shorter
than it was the first time brought
1t; and, when 1t got 80 shert, 1 drew
it home again and worked it up into
singles. and the next week you
bought the shingles, and then 1 con-
cluded had got the value of my
wagon back and slowed away in my
Docketbook."
The exclamation of the Judge was
drowned in the shouts of the by-
ISLANDERS, and the log-drawer found
the door without the promised treat.
And, to see mad man. you have
only to ask the Judge if he ever was
shaved.

Offering the back of every Jew to the
lash Of prejudice.
In considering the causes of social
ostracism forwhich the Jew is partly
or wholly to blame, the racial exclu-
siveness of the Hebrew is urged as a
plea against him. The Israelite is
said to avoid Christian society; he
does not care to introduce business
friends into his domestic circle; at
public resorts he herds with members
of his own faith. This exclusiveness
arises partly from temporary and
partly from permanent causes. 1t is
largely due to morbid habit, born
amid the fires of persecution when
the Jew was society's pariah "a habit
now cherished by the unspoken fear
that the hand of fellowship which
the Hebrew is willing and ready to
extend may he thrust back contemp-
tuously or accepted with mental
reservation. Thus far Jewish ex-
clusiveness is temporary its perma-
nent cause is the rule which forbids
marriage with the Gentle. So long
as the meeting of the young is atten-
ded with special restrictions, so long
as the free intercourse customary be.

society is likely to result in unhap-

Jew and Christian must measurably

riage restrictions, though often
fraught with sorrow to the individual
Jew, cannot be disregarded conscien-
tiously by the Hebrew who belives
in the mission of his race. The In
fusion of Aryan blood into jewish
veins would be suicidal for Judaism !;
it would in short time remove pre-.
judice by doing away with the object.

of monotheism must bear the yoke

The MetropoIitam CHURCH Npire.

The question of the right of the inspector
of buildings TO condemn building or por-
ton of one is sometimes argued, and the
question will now be tested in the case of the
tower of the Metropolitan Methodist Church.
The inspector, as has been previously stated,
notified the trustees of the church that the
spire should be strengthened within thirty
days. The trustees sent a letter to the
Commissioners to-day, appealing from the
inspectors report, denying the alleged in
security of the steeple and questioning the
inspectors authority The trustees will
take advantage of the clause in the build
ing regulations, which reads as follows !:
+" But in case the decision should be adverse
to the appellant, the interested parties may
appeal, within forty-eight hours, to the
Commissioners who shall appoint commit
tee of two disinterested and competent
builders and one architect, residents of the
city, to determine the question at ISSUE"
In case this committee confirms the opinion
of the inspector, he is allowed to cause
such unsafe or dangerous structure to be
made safe OF taken down."

thief Captured.

James w. johnson, n young cOlored man,
was arrested and brought to Police Head
quarters this morning on suspicion Of steal
ing watch. He had small lady's gold
watch which he was trying to sell on d
street northwest, and when Detectives Nc
Elfrcsh and Miller questioned him he at
tempted to run away. A pOpket-book was
found in his possession with the name of
Mrs. Kctcham, who was robbed in the Capt.
toll grounds some time ago by half-grown
negro.
The pocket-bools was identified by Mr..
W.. Ketchum, of Mount Pleasant, as being
the property of u lady living there. He
also thinks that the watch is the same one
that he repaired u short time ago for u
young gentleman in Mount Pleasant. The
thief says that n negro man, whom he did
not know, gave him both the book and the
watch in the market.
An amusing incident in the capture of
the thief, who attempted to run, occurred
in his pursuit by Detective George Miller
Miller was running faster than Maud S.
can trot, and was gaining on the thief
lively, when his foot stumped against the
curbstone, and this eminent disciple of Col.

George, in falling, lit upon his hands and
knees, bruising both and utterly demolish-
ing new pair of pantaloons, which he had
on for the first time, and breakinga portion
of his watch chain. Mr.. Miller was not
badly hurt, but very angry, and his panta.
looms were utterly killed .,

ANOTHER HOMICIDE.
Joseph BRnIks Dies from an Injury
inflicted on July 3.

The summoning of six jurymen to meet
at the Almshousc at noon to-day was the
first intimation received by the police of
the death of Joseph Banks, colored as n re-
suit of violence The coroner held an in
quest when the following was elected:
Three colored men were sitting on large
stone at Seventeenth street wharf on the
morning of July 5, about 8 o'clock, waiting
to begin work unloading sand from a small
vessel. Two of them, Joseph Banks and
William Harris got into a wrangle over q
debt of five cents, which led to u fight, in
which Harris was getting beaten, when
they were separated and Harris
went away. He subsequently returned,
and creeping behind Banks threw % stone
hitting him on the side of the head and
causing severe wound, the extent of which
was not at the time known.
The quarrel lasted for some time, and
finally Harris went into the storchouse on
the wharf and Banks got some friends to
plaster up the wound and wash his head
and neck. The wounded man had no
further medical aid until the 10Th in
slant, when his employer, Mr.. Lord,
took him to the Providence Hospital where
he died last night. The remains were taken
TO the Almshouse, where the inquest was
held. A verdict was rendered "that the
said Joseph Banks came to his death at the
Providence Hospital, on the 18th day of
July, 1881, from injuries received from
a stone thrown by the hands of William
Harris on the fifth day of July" The
whereabouts of Harris are not known, but
search will be made for him, and he will
be committed if caught

which prayers are offered for the Presidents

lovely miss of about 49, On Friday it was
thought best, rs the next day was Saturday
and most of the flock would be engaged in
preparing for Sunday, not to hold service on
that day, but instead, to prolong the services
on Friday. The young miss in question
had an engagement on that particular Fri.
day evening, and the prolonged services at
the church made her late in fulfilling it..
When she made her appearance she was
chided for being late. She gave her reasons
as stated above, when her friend, also II
