The Polish jews.

The Polish Jews have been horribly
! treated for centuries; every form that
tyranny, oppression and eXtortion could
/ take has been practised against them.
1t is not wonderful that forced in upon
their own superstitiOns, crushed into OBJ
stinacy and driven into fanaticism, their
moral natures should have become
htwisted and contorted into strange and
terrible disfigurements. The glimpses
into the inner life of the Podolien Ghetto,
given by the tales of Herr FRANCIS, are
ike visions of medieval times. Horrible
cruelties are practised in family and
social relations in extraordinary conjunc-
ton with tender family affection and
parental solicitude. The Jews do not
educate their women. The powerful
story: The Shylock of Barnow, turns
on this vital error, Esther Freadenthal,
the adored only child of her wealthy
father. is taught to cook. to
pray, and to count; that was enough for
The house, for heaven, and for life
She had an Unborn instinct for knowl-
edge. it was ill-guided, and the end was
misery. The women again are never
allowed to have any choice in marriage,
neither. for that matter, have the young
men. 1t is a family arrangement, and
husband and wife often meet for the first
time ON their wedding day. Gain is the
object in lffet The jews have been for
hidden to hold land or practise any of
the professions. To accumulate coin,
therefore, is all that is left to them, and
the need has been all the more peremp-
tory since their Christian oppressors have
never hesitated on occasion to break into
their stores by force or fraud We are

The JOURNAL of last week says:
Frost avenue is both a Popular prone
made and drive. The sidewalks are nearly
all down and in splendid condition.
1t is true the new sidewalks are
nearly all down and in good condi-
ton, but I think the JOURNAL must
have avoided the old ones through
fear of breaking his neck, or else he
happened to have his glasses 10 his
watch-pockst. We think that as the
propsrty-holders were required to
put down sidewalks at short notice
by the authorities, they are in the
way of an &C compartment entitled to
crossings. There is one on that street,
l think, but it has been buried so
long in the mud that it is lost.
