STORIES OF REFUGEE JEWS.

The Jews who are flocking to the United
States from Russia bring horrible stories
of the cruelty OF the Russian populace to-
wards their people. And though the
atrocities related are so dreadful as to
excite suspicion and incredulity, there can
be no doubt of their substantial truth.
The accounts which have found their way
into the European press fully confirm the
worst of the narratives recently made
public in this country. The Russian lower
classes are in truth mere savages, and ca.
pable of being as ferocious and brutal as
Apaches when reused by drink and fanati.
cism. No stories of medieval persecution
surpass in horror the black deeds which
the Cars subjects have perpetrated with
in the past year upon the unhappy Jews,
but the most infamous fact about the
whole revolving history is the apathy, or
actual encouragement to persecution, of
the Russian Government. Such Gov.
eminent is fit only to be wrecked by Nj
hilists

THE DEATH OF PHIz.D

The death of Hablot K Browne, better
known as Phiz, the artist and illustrator
of most of Dickens works, is announced.
He was very skillful delineator, and
seized the principal characters in the
works of Dickens with a wonderful inspi.
ration. He was no caricaturist, but ere.
ated his ideals, and these were always in
harmony with the views of the author. II
would have been quite impossible for any
books to be more happily illustrated than
were those of Dickens by Browne. He
also illustrated Levers novels, and many
other works of fiction.

REFERRING to the past, readers will call to mind
when. few months ago, District Attorney Buckley
stated to the Board Of Supervisors that for 900
be could obtain the services OF sufficient and compe.
tent counsel to appear for the county in its proceed
ings against the hydraulic miners. Now that the
chief case has been tried and judgment rendered,
1t is the opinion Of every lawyer consulted in the
matter that 5000 would have been large fee.
When the Board Of Supervisors agreed to pay Sl2,-
900, it knowingly agreed to pay $1,000 more than
the services worth, and Of that they knew and
were informed at the time.
WHEN it is announced that our American Ad-
miral had declared that IL an American ship of his
command should be hit in the bombardment at
Alexandria he would take hand in the fight, it is
safe to say half the nation was on its mental mar
row-bones in prayer for u stray shot to shake
Nicholson out Of his berth, so natural Is the desire
10 see fight goon-but then few Americans reflected
that Nicholson has only four small wooden ships
and that, however plucky, shot from the heavy
Egyptian guns would probably sink any Of his
boats OF such is our navy.

BUILDING WAR VESSELS BY CONTRACT

The people Of Portsmouth, n. H., are
very much alarmed at the thought OF
building war vessels by contract, seeing in
the proposition death-blow to the navy
yards. They have held meeting, at
which they very unfortunately boosted of
the skill of the Government mechanics.
Now it is obvious that if these latter are
so skillful, the results of their skill would
be visible in the navy. But it is notorious
that the vessels repaired and built in the
navy yards have uniformly proved worth.
less, and that they have demanded con-
slant and costly repairs. The fact is that
the navy yards have been demoralized by
politics, and have ceased to be of any ma.
terial value to the country. If the wal
ships needed were built by private con.
tract it is no doubt true that there would
be room for collision and corruption, but
it is serious question whether it would
be possible by any other methods to bring
about so complete and hopeless failure as
the Navy Department represents to-day.
The Portsmouth people are of course
moved by their most selfish interests alone,
and their petition, therefore, is of no par
ticular significance or value.

and third class vessels, and most, if not all
OF them, are armed with twenty. five ton
guns, and with less powerful ones ranging
down to eight tons. They therefore pre-
sented a most formidable battery, and it
may safely be alleged that this is the first
engagement III which SO many heavy guns
have been employed. None of the first
class ironclads have yet been engaged.
They carry eighty-ton guns, and it would
have been very interesting to observe the
effect OF snch enormous artillery upon the
Notifications. Even the twenty.fS ton
guns, however, threw very heavy shot, and
it ia evident that they yesterday inflicted
great damage upon the forts. the armor
of the ironclads engaged ranges from xix to
twelve inches, the latter being the heaviest.
The vessels steamed slowly in front of the
forts, delivering their fire as they passed,
after the method followed in the engage
ment of forts during our war OF the re-
| bellion.
1t remains to be seen what will follow
the bombardment. The silencing and
capture and occu patton Of the forts cannot
OF course settle the Egyptian question.
The security OF the Suez Canal, which En-
| gland is bound to see to, will involve the
military occupation OF the country, unless
Arab Pasha can be disposed of in some
speedy and etfectual way. Hehas no military
force capable of resisting an English army,
but he can take some of his men and re-
tire to the desert, whence it might be pos.
sible to keep up desultory but harrassing
warfare for many months, and where he
could not be followed by European troops.
But England happens not to be dependent
upon European troops in this emergency,
and it is the fact that she can employ In
dian troops in Egypt that renders the pc.
sition of Arab most perilous. She can
bring over few regiments of Ghoorkas
who will ask nothing better than desert
fighting, and vino can and will meet the
Arabs on their own ground. The pro-
gramme OF retreat to the desert, there
fore, does not really hold out much hope.
The probability is that Arab will find him
self trapped before he knows it, and that
his dreams OF holy war will be dispelled
quickly. As to the other European powers,
they appear resolved to hold aloof until
they see how far England will go. At this
moment the question of the annexation
of Egypt has only been discussed by few
.faneuS. No English Government would
welcome such an addition to the burdens
of office, but it may grow out of the stu
alton, and French or other opposition is
more likely to further than to defeat it.

TIE BoMBARDmEnT OF ALEXANDRIA

The long-deferred bombardment of the
forts OF Alexandria by the English feet
was begun yesterday morning, and carried
on until the forts were silenced and for the
most part reduced to ruins. There could
not have been any doubt as to the outcome
OF the attack, though it may have been
thought that the ironclads would suffer
more than they seem to have done. We
do not know the weight of metal in the
Egyptian guns, but the presumption lie that
they were uniformly inferior to those of the
fleet. The eight ironclads which were en-.
gagged yesterday are what is called second
