JEWISH PERSECUTION.

notwithstanding all the indignation
displayed in Europe and America
sgainst the barbarous persecution prac-
ticed aga'nit the Jews in the countries
of eastern Europe, there does not appear
to be any abatement Of this malignant
disposition. The latest indication Of
this is au order issued by the govern
ment of Russia prohibiting the Jewish
masters from employing Christian ser
wants Dr. ~journeymen mechanics. The
intolerance exhibited by the Russian
government toward the Hebrews has
often been denied both officially and
unofficialiy, but there can he very little
doubt that systematic intolerance on
the part of the government is the real
cause of all the popular tumults and
outrsges in European Russia against
the Hebrews. This, however, seems
also to Apply to other religious denomi-
nations in that country, eighteen Of
which the government refuses to recog-
nize by law or to tolerate in any way.
Among these sects are the German
Menonities ofthe Baltic provinces, large
numbers of whom have been obliged to
.ell their lands at forced sales at heavy
loss, and to emigrate to the United
States aid Canada. 1t is true that the
Jews are much more numerous in Rus.
STA and Austria than they are either in
England Or America, and this may per-
haps explain the intolerance.

A CALLING.

more labOrious and exscting than that
Of the school teacher. We say this, not
TO discourage the young graduates from
high schools and seminaries, who hsre
secured appointments as teachers for the
coming scholastic year, but for the pur-
pose of suggesting to them the necessity
of being well prepared to endure the
arduous and trying duties they are soon
to begin to perform. Young teachers

and bright ideas Of a Pleasant task,
which are too often rudely dispelled by
the coure Of hard work they find they

TIE FAITH CURE

the latter ale increasing in numbers

the creed that begets skepticism. 1t
doesn't seem reasonable 10 the general
ity of thinking people, the vast major
ity of whom discredit and take no stock
in it. These have nothing to say, how
ever, when the Faith Cure people draw
attention to the fact that prayers fOr
rain are sometimes offered in churches,
and assert that the Lord will answer a
sincere petition for physical health as
readily as Il FOR a change Of weather,
All this leads back to the question as to
the efficacy Of prayer in general, in re-
gard to which there are inuumerable
conflicting views. Perhaps the old
home-spun doctrine is good enough
that the Lord will do what is right and
u He thinks best; but that It can't do
n narm to pray earnestly for any
good thing that il wanted.

SOUTHERN INTERESTS AND PROS
PERIrY.

No fact connected with the current
history Of this Republic appears to be
better established than that the South
ern States have enjoyed a most remark
able degree Of prosperity since the close
ofthe reconstruction period and the re-
turn ofloyalty TO the Union. The pros
perity is sufficiently e in the extra
ordinary increase Of all the Southern
staple crops, but especially those ofeot-
ton, wheat, corn, fruits and vegetables.
But We have also been pleased to notice
all yer the south an immense amount
Of progre~, IN the building of new lines
q. railway and in the Improvement OF
old liIy-. and IN short Of railro2dlng
generally. our OWE idea was from the
start that this was what the South re-
,ruired more than anything else, to
cause a new departure OF that section OF
the Union on The pathway Of advanced
and enlightened civilization, and ac-
eordingly We have observed that every
where throughout the South, railways
have caused a wonderful increase Of
production on farms and plantations,
ard have also generated a correspond
ing increase Of Internal trade and eX-
terral ommerce. Tue Census Of 1850
proved beyond the shadow ola doubt
mat the South has increased amazingly
in population, wealth, mining and
manufacturers: and since that census
was taken a large amount of additional
progress has been made in cotton man
ufactures, metal industries, and other
staple branches of domestic production.

attributes the loss in size and weight TO

end a round trap is made something
the shape of q button hook. AT the

Every morning, after closing the mouth

is raised by NEAR Of pulleys until the

INCORKIGIBLE CRIMINALS

An English Judge has given a fresh
start t. the old discussion about capital
punishments, by boldly expressing the
opinion that death should be the punish
ment not only for murder, but for all
attempts to commit the same, and for
all incOrrigible criminals such as high
waymen, burglars, professional thieves,
bank. robbers, fOrgers, etc. Now, while
We have ourselves no mawkish SYM
patby for any class Of criminals, yet We
should be excused for doubling the
utility, to say nothing of the humanity,
of this sort of Justice. 1t is true that in
many Of the Western Territories and
States of this Uuion the Lynch law
code was carried out in this way when
ever the regular courts of justice failed
to protect the community against out
laws, rufiians, desperadoes and notori-
Gus bricands. But those are excep-
ional cases, and the reign OF Lynch
law is invariably regarded as tempo
rary. a much better system is the one
adopted in France and England, by
establishing penal colonies in remote,
distant and isolated places difficult of
access, strongly fortified and power
fully guarded by naval and military
ornaments. During the great civil
war in the United States our National
Government established such a colony
on one of the Florida Keys, but after
the war closed the system was aban-
doned.
Subsequently, however, a proposition
was made and extensively advocated
for the establishment of a penal colony
in the remote hyperborean territory Of
Alaska; but it was e considered by
the Government or by Congress, and
consequently has been forgotten. At
tempts have been made to populate
that territory in the usual way on the
Pacific coast Of discovering gold mines,
coal mines and other productive inter
ests; but thus far all these efforts have
resulted in very little substantial pro-
gress in that quarter, whereas had a
penal colony been established there
fifteen years ago it would by this time
have become a permanent and valuable
settlement. We undertake to say that
in opinion had that been done the
whole of these States would by this
time have been very effeetually cleared
Of outlaws, banditti, burglars, bank
robbers, professional thieves and habit
ual criminals of all kinds. There would
then have been no necessity for vigil
ance committees, mob law, or the Occa-
sional practice of the code Of Judge
Lynch; whereas at the present time
these irregularities seem to be unavoid-
able and are in fact found necessary to
render some portions of the country
barely habitable. Under existing cir
cumstances the Atlantic States seem to
have become a safe harbor, asylum and
refuge for all the desperate criminals Of
Europe.
