The Mound of the Jew.

Between Hellopolis and Zagazig,
says the London NeaCS, "there is an in
teresting spot connected with later
Jewish history. It is called Tel-el-Ye-
hoodee, or THE Mound of the Jew In
Josephus, b. xiii, c. iii, will be found
an account of it. Onias, the son of the
high priest of the temple of Jerusalem,
got permission from Ptolemy and Cleo
patra to build a temple in Egypt which
should be like the one at Jerusalem.
Josephus says it was much inferior.
sui, such temple was constructed,
with priests and service the same as
the Jews We're accustomed to. The
place was known previously as Leonto-
polls, and q temple had stood there.
and q palace Of Rameses III. existed at
1t, al of which was in ruins when Onias
constructed his temple, which also is
now gone, and nothing but mounds are
left to mark the spot Onias in his let
ter to Ptolemy quoted in favor of his
proposals the prophecy in Isaiah xix,
10: In that day shall there be an altar
in the midst of the land of Egypt, and
Q pillar at the border thereof to the
Lord. These words are acknowledged
by Ptolemy and Cleopatra as being the
inducement which caused them to make
the grant. This temple attracted Jews,
and there were other cities in the dis
trict where they predominated, but little
is known regarding them. .

The New MARROW GAUGE.-The Gait
Gazette says: Grading on the narrow
gauge to the Hitchcock ranch, adjacent to
the edge Of Calaveras county, is completed,
and further operation suspended for the
present. For the want of rails track-lay.
ing is also discontinued. 1t appears that
when the company ordered their iron they
only put in an order for thirty miles Of
rails, without making any allowance for
switches, and as consequence the iron
gave out about four miles before reaching
Wallace, the intended terminus for the
time being. However, it is expected that
the necessary material will be on hand to
complete the track within couple of
weeks. About twenty carloads of wheat
per day pass over the road to Brack' 8
Landing, where it is reshipped by boat to
San Francisco. There is also a good pas.
| senger traffic over the road. The passen-
ger and freight depot at Woodbridge has
been completed, and work is pro-
crossing ON the round house. At
Lockeford carpenters are engaged in put.
ting up a passenger depot and freight
house. No start has been made as yet on
depot building at Lodi, suitable site Lot
having been secured. At the lower end of
the road a large force of men are employed
raising the grade of that portion of the line
which runs through the tules-about three
miles-beyond the danger OF high water.
The company propose, when tne road is
completed to the Big Trees, to run excur.
sions weekly from San Francisco to that
point during the summer season, and issue
tickets for the round trip at not more than
seven dollars. For the successful carrying
out OF this scheme. the company have
ordered another new engine, made to run
forty miles an hour, which will enable
them to take passengers from San Francisco
to the Big Trees in eight hours, allowing
five hours for the boat from the bay to
Brack's landing and the remaining three
for the new locomotive to complete the
journey.

RAINs.-It has been shown by Prof.
LOOMS that more rain falls ON the eastern
than on the western side of continents.
This is true everywhere except in the
higher attitudes. Thus the average rain.
fall at San Francisco is only from half to
third as great in quantity as on the coast
OF Pennsylvania and the same, OIL even
more striking difference, may be found by
comparing Morocco with the Chinese coast,
aud the west with the east coasts of South

comparison being in each case made be.
