The fund to provide help for the
Russian Jews was vigorously pro-
NOTED by the Jewish Messenger;
but that journal now hopes that Rus
sian emigration will be entirely sus-
pended Tor the present. "People
ready and willing to work. i. says,
"are always welcome in America, and
no questions need be asked as to
nationality. But shiftless, lazy fami-
lies, who evidently expect to be lodged
and boarded at public expense, are
not wanted here, Refugees from
lands where persecution has been
rampant deserve our sympathy, and
they should be kindly. received and
made to feel that they have the
country's warm help in their efforts to
support themselves. But after the
excitement of arriving in new
country has worn away, and investi-
cation shows that some Of these ar
rivals are evidently bent on being
supported by the public and doing
nothing for themselves, they should be
told in distinct terms that the country
will not harbor such people"

The guns of the ironclad Temeraire,
lying opposite Ramleh, cover the
ground between the British lines and
the outposts OF the enemy. The Tenn
eraire has just begun firing in conse-
quence of the outposts making for
ward movement. After a few shots
from the Temeraire the enemy aban-
doned their position.
CoNsTANTlNorLE, August S.-An
official dispatch from the rebel gov
erment claims Saturdays engagement
as an Egyptian victory, and says that
the English were pursued until night
fall.
De Lesseps has sent a telegram
here declaring that the whole of Egypt
has embraced the cause Of the Ma
tional party, and that the English will
find everything determined and an in
telligent defense ready to check their
enterprise, if possible.
The departure Of Dervish Pasha

Adjournment Of Congress.

WAsHINGToN, August S.-Con-
gress adjourned very quietly to-day.
In the Senate, when the closing hour
arrived it found not more than rs
Senators present, and in the House,
when the Speaker declared that body
adjourned sine die, less than four
score of members were in their places
to hear him.
The last hours of the session were
as uninteresting as could be imagined.
In the House, contrary to the usual
custom, no resolution Of thanks to the
Speaker was offered-an omission
which has excited much comment.

Father Ignatius, the English Rit-
ualist, is said to display amazing skill
in getting money for the support OF
his monastery at Llanthony, in the
Black Mountains. Among several
clerical pilgrims to his shrine for the
extraordinary functions during Ascen-
siontide, one benighted individual
remained as a monk, and another
before leaving, left behind some e..
900 for the completion Of the shrine
of the Perpetual Alteration and Other
works.

The Vienna Allgemeine Zeitung
tells of an English horse-trainer who
has been giving proofs of his skill in
the presence of the Austrian Emperor.
The most unmanageable stallion in
the royal stables was brought out and
turned over to him. He speedily had
the animal under control, and, having
opened it's mouth, found a small alb
scess in the jaw that was caused by
the sharp and jagged edge Of tooth.
This he relieved at once by little
filing, to which the animal submitted
patiently. Then he removed the bit
and halter, leaving the animal entirely
free, and lying down upon the ground,
placed one of the stations hind feet
on his breast to show how completely
tanned it was. His exhibitions OF
skill were altogether highly satisfac,
tory to the Emperor, who gave him
some valuable presents and commits
stoned him to inspect the other horses
in the imperial stud.

1t might be supposed that the titles
borne by England's aristocracy would
be derived from the lands held by
them, but this is not the case. The
Duke Of Devonshire, the Marquis of
Hartford, the Earl of Derby, and the
Earl of Leicester, for instance, have
not an acre of land in the counties
from which these titles emanate. The
Duke of Devonshire owns $4,000
acres in Derbyshire, but none in
Devon; the Earl of Derby has some
$4,000 acres in Lancashire, but
nothing in Derby, while Lord Leices-
ter's estates are not of the shire in
that name, but in Norfolk, where he
has over 10000 acres. Earls Carnar.
Won, Suffolk, Westmoreland, Cardi-
gan, Pembroke, Radnor, and Don
blight derive their large incomes from
counties other than those that give
them their titles.

The Ball This Evening.

The ball to be given in Bellevue

A correspondent of the Leeds Mer

A correspondent Of the Leeds Mer-
curry saws: ssThe London season is
waning fast, and the merriment wakes
more furious than ever. BY the out
ward aspect no one would suppose
the state Of affairs both at home and
abroad was so serious. With repres-
sion act aimed at organized assassina-
ton just coming into force in Ireland,
Alexandria in flames, and thousands
of Christians lying slaughtered in its
streets, the great city of London has
never been gayer."

Civil Service Reform.

Senator Pcndlrton, who has been all
along the champion Of the Civil Service
movement, has the following to say on
that subject:
As a PARTISAN Democrat, | am strong
~ in favor Of the reform. Ibeleve it
will aid Us Greatly in getting into power.
Patronage robbed Us Of the Proficiency
in 1876 and in 1880. Without patron
age On the part Of tic Republicans, who
believes that they could have carried
Indiana in 1850, or Virginia last fall {?
II this bill Should pass it would paralyzc
the efforts ii one hundred thousand in
cumbents fighting to retain 800, $780,
OOO. This, Of itself, in an election as
close rs that Of 1876, or that Of 1880,
would decide the combat in our favor.
The ohicc-holdcrs are an active, com.
pact disciplined body Of men, paid by
the year, allowed long vacations, fur
nlshcd with cheap transportation even
where railroad fares are not paid by the
Government, compelled to 20 hither
and yon, and compelled to be active on
pain Of dismissal. What an immense
force TO bring against Il party out Of
power, whose cohesion is the base Of its
principles!
