PERSECUTION OF THE JEWS IN Rus

PERSECUTION OF THE JEWS IN Rus.

outrageous prosecutions as are now per-

In town after town the Jews have been
murdered, their wives and daughters
outraged. and their property stolen OF
destroyed. The authorities are on the
side of the mob, and soldiers called out
to protect these unhappy people have
turned to persecute them.
The thrift of the Jews has long been
the envy of the idle in all other races.
and this base feeling finds an outlet In
the lawlessness of mobs that the Russian
Government is unwilling to quelI.

from Northern Republican and indie

TIE OLD nILL.


Here from the brow Of the hill look,
Through lattice Of boughs and leaves
On the old gray mill with its gambrel roof,
And the moss on Its rotting eaves.
hear the chatter that Jars Its walls,
And the rushing waters sound,
And see the black floats rise and fall
As the wheel goes slowly round.
I rode there often when was young,
With my grist on the horse before.
And talked with Nelly, the millsr's girl.
Al waited my turn ct the door.
And while she tossed her rtnglets brown,
And firted and chatted 10 free,
The wheel might stop. or the wheel might &C
It was all the same to me.
TITS twenty years since last stood
On the spot where stand to-day.
And Nelly is wed. and the miller is dead,
And the mill and are gray.
But both, till we fall into ruin and wreck,
To our fortunes Of toll are bound;
And the man goes and the stream hows.
And the wheel moves slowly round.

For where they don't eat there's NO washing o

And though there the anthems are constantly

Don't mourn for me now. and don't mourn fol

For I'm going to do nothing forever and ever. .

the magnitude Of the appropriation would
have assuredly indicated the intention of the
National Government to build efficient
dams, while the So. coo 600 would have
been sufficient to build ample dams

should confirm such intention by further ac-

THE PROGRESS OF ELECTRICITY.

The construction of the electric railway
between Weisbaden and Neroberg has been
begun.
Az interesting trial will shortly be made
on the river Spree of a method of en-
p,oying electricity for tugging sailing
vessels.
The American Electric Railway and
Power Company filed articles of assooia-
ton on October 24th-capital, $40, 600 COO.
The principal office will be in New York.
1t is said that Congress is to be asked to
vote $50, 600 to introduce electric light into
several lighthouses on the American coast
which are at present without it.
The Municipal Council of Paris are so
pleased with the electric railway that they
are thinking of trying the experiment of
an elevated railway in some parts OF the
city, the motive power for winch shall be
supplied by electricity.
The question of electric lighting for Ber-
lin is at present in allegiance, pending the
report of municipal commission, who
have been appointed to visit London and
Paris and make observation on the methods
in vogue in these two cities.
1t is reported that the Gramme patents
for the transmission of motive power by
electricity have become the property of
company constituted with capital of
f40S, 600, under the auspices of the Society
Internationale des Telephones.
Siemens Bros. & Co. (iinritedl intend APP
plying to Parliament for power to break
the streets, ETC., to set up apparatus for
lighting public and private places and
buildings by electricity.
The Ciyde NAVIGATION trustees are at
present experimenting with the light on
their docks, and it is their intention to
adopt it permanently, at least for the grav
ing docks, SO that operations may be car
ried on during the night.
Last week the galleries of the Glasgow
Institute of the Fine Arts were lighted for
the first time by D & G. Graham.
An offer has been made to light the ca.
riages of the Northern Railway Company
by electricity at haif the cost of oil.
