RUSSIA AND THE JEWS.

1.-THE Senate has decided that the Jews
are incapable of holding office in Russia
Such is the reading of a St. Petersburg dis
patch of the 9th of December, 1852. The
population of Russia is reiigiously as much
mixed as that of the United States. Its
majority is of the Greek Church; but there
are Catholics. Lutherans, Moravians, Mo-
hammedans. pagan and Jews. All but the
latter may hold office. They are excluded,
not because they are or ever have been
dangerous to the State; but because the ig-
norant Tartars of the Greek Church. in Ger
tain cities, have borrowed the money of the
Jews and now take this method of stealing
and getting away with it. Up to the pro-
mitigation of this decision there was no
official recognition of the persecution. The
Russian Senate is, in part, an executive
body. 1t was established by the barbarian
Peter the Great. one hundred and seventy
years ago; and in all these years it has given
out no signs of recognition of the powers of
other nations from darkness to light. There
is o appeal from its decisions, save in some
cases w pCGtiOl W INC O6"' Ao PoAP
cular decision may. therefore, be regarded as
an established law. It implies that what
ever outrages may hereafter be practiced by
the Tartar barbarians upon the scientific
race, the latter shall have no officer any,
where to present their cause for redress. In
Guiding the 100000 of this race living in
Poland. the empire contains 2.65O,O00 Jews
in European Russia. The whole number of
Protestants is but 100000; of NOLAN.
medans, 2,359,272; of Catholics, 100000.
Protestants, Catholics, and Mahommedans
are allowed to hold office but Jews net The
reason of the discrimination IS that the
Protestants, Catholics and followers of the
Mecca Prophet have powerful friends, while
the Jews have not. There can be ne pre-
tense of Justice in the decision. 1t is wholly
a question of might against right, of super
stition against reason, and is not the breadth
of a hair removed from the practices of the
age of Clovis of Barb1rosa. Such trees al
ways bear in time bitter fruits for those who
plant them; and when this padded and
painted fraud of a nation shall need another
loan of 500, 600, 900 she will be invited to
a feast of her own preparation, it the great
Jewish bankers of the world have not lost
all heart for the poor and prosecuted of their
race.-S +, Chronicle.

A Practical test Applied to Dfessmaker's
Work.

A case came before the Brighton county
court Judge yesterday (Oct. 20) which
caused much amusement, and in which a
dressmaker sought to recover thirteen shill-
ings for the work done for a lady named
TAYLOR. The defendant refused to pay be-
cause the plaintiff had spoiled her dresses.
Plaintiff, in an Indignant, tone, said: 81
did make the dress properly, but the lady
has no natural figure whatever. She said
she was suffering with her liver. and could
not be squeezed, and how could make her
look like a Venus when it was all wadding?"
D~efendant-"I did not want you to make 1t
tight; I like my dresses loose" Plaintiff
:. You should say how very deformed your
arms are" Defendant, excitedly-'I am
not deformed, l am a better figure than you;
| nave no deformity. My husbandi is in court;
ask him." Plaintif-"Wnl you allow me
to try the dress on IN COURT" Defendant
Eyes, before all the gentleman" His Honor
--'You must put the dress on, and must

on the dress His Honor was Informed by a
bailiff that she refused TO come into court.
His honor accordingly entered the robiry
room, and on his return into court 40 said

Mexican Treaty.

Washington. January lSth.-The Inter
national Commission, appointed to negotiate
a revenue treaty between the United States
and Mexico, is making satisfactory progress
in its W rk. IL is learned that the free list
has been agreed upon, which. although IL
does not greatly increase the number OF arr
ticles already imported free into the United
States from Mexico. does nevertheless re-
move unnecessary duties. Among the arti-
cles upon whose free importation Mexico
lays particular stress, is sugar not above No,
l6 Dutch standard in color. This is sought,
not so much with a view TO the Immediate
free expectation of such sugar from Mexico
into the United States as for the purpose o.
encouraging and developing the culture ..
the sugar cane and the manufacture OF su
gar in the former country.
In the six years during which the treaty
is to continue in force il is hardly possible,
in the opinion of the Mexican represents Z
tlves, that the expectation of sugar from
Mexico should reach a very considerable
proportion. The list Of articles to be i'm
ported free of duty from the United States
into Mexico has been considerably enlarged.
Among other things, there has been added
to ii petroleum, crude and refined. for illumi-
mating purposes, machinery, agricultural im1
plements, tools for artisans, and houses made
of iron and wood. A provision has been
virtually agreed upon which will relieve the
of the United States from the
transit duties. hitherto imposed upon goods
passing from State to State with the Repub-
lie of Mexico. A provision will probably be
agreed upon to permit the transportation of
commodities from the United States to Mex
leo and from Mexico to the United States.
under the terms of this treaty.Ships
owned by citizens of either republic. will be
allowed to trade between the two countries.
Other important provisions are under con-
sideration, but is believed they have not yet
taken final shape.

a Day Time Moon.

Up in the shining and sun-lighted blue,
Where oam-white clouds sail like a fairy fleet,
The pale moon hovers, glimmering wanly through,
Like a sad chord in chorus gay and sweet.
FRAZIER than cloud she seems and torn and frayed,
A little wandering fragment, drifting slow,
OF that brave, golden, Summer moon which made
Midnight so beautiful awhile ago.
Why comes she back at this untimely hour,
When noon is nigh and birds are singing clear,
And the fierce sun, her rival, burns with power,
What can the poor, the pretty moon want here
Does she feel lonely in the peopled sky
The only moon among a starry host,
They altogether in brave company,
She, she wandering solitary as = ghost
Or does she grieve that we so soon forget
The perfect of her tempered ray,
Drowsyily praising her sweet beams, but yet
Keeping our real joyance for the day.
Poor, pallid moon, with a reproachful face
She eyes the humming world as on it moves,
Yearning through the vast intervening space
For some one who remembers her and loves.
And like a home-sick spirit, sad at heart,
To Heavens happy ways not wonted yet,
She seems to murmur when she strays apart
Il still am faithful but you all forget"

Madame Nilsson and the Tenor.

Madame Christine Nilsson left Liverpool
for the United States. accompanied by a new
tenor of her own discovery. The name is
Theodore Biorkshen, and his association
with the prima donna is not devoid of ro-
nance. He is a young Swede, aged23. and
was at Stockholm last autum she was fol-
lowed wherever she went by a crowd which
would gather in front of herhotel in the hope
of catching a glimpse Of her. Amongst
these admirers one young man was conspi-
cuous for his assiduity, and Madame Nilsson
at last became quite annoyed at the persist
ent attention of her young worshipper. One
evening she found herself being s~erenaded,
and she could not fail to be struck by the
clear tones of a tenor voice which rose above
the rest. Sending for the singer she dis
covered that this tenor was none other than
her young admirer. He belongs to a good
family at Stockholm, being, indeed, the son
of the governor of the Castle, and is pas
sionately fond of music. When quite a boy,
he vowed in the name of his countrywoman
Christine Nilsson to devote himself to
music; and, though destined by his parents
for the navy, he underwent. at his own ex-
pense, a course IF singing lessons. Madame
Nilsson was so attracted by his voice and
enthusiasm that, taking him under her pat
ronage, she had him placed with one of the
best masters in Paris.

MATR1MoNY AND MATCHMAKING.

1t is recorded of an ancient sage that, on
being asked at what period of his life a man
ought to marry, he replied I" When he is
young it is too soon ; when cid, it is too late"
Discouraging as such an answer may be con-
sidered, it still leaves the question open as
far as middle-a ged individuals are concerned;
whereas the matrimonial aspirations ofthese.
as well as of juvenile and hors ddge would
be Benedicts are summarily and uncompro-
misingly checked by the ~oft-quoted prohibit
tory m~onosyllable, "Don'tl" That marriage
is lottery more suggestive of blanks than
prizes is, we believe. generally allowed; and
the possibility Of this drawback being ad-
mitted. it would be unreasonable to blame
the candidate for the happy state if he looks
before he leaps, and weighs well the pros
and cons Of the undertaking ere he irre-
coverably commits himself. Every one is
not so fortunate in his choice as the painter
CharIet, who tells US on his first interview
with the woman destined to become his wife,
he found her engaged in the homely but
practical employment of darnlng stockings.
mime are already in holes" he reflected,
and this reminiscence of bachelor discomfort
decided the matter. He proposed, was ac-
copied, and, as he conscientiously adds,
{" never had cause to regret it"
II is, moreover, a melancholy fact that
young men of the present day are less i'm
pulsiye and more calculating than-if ira
ditional reports are to be credited-they
formerly were. and are rarely inclined to
barter their liberty except for a proportionate
"quid pro quo" Love in a cottage has long
been an exploded myth, and the pleasant fal,
lacy, that where Cne can dine two can, only
requires a few months trial to be at once
and forevc Edisproved. We are gradually
although perhaps not without protest-adopt-
ing the uses in vogue among our neighbors
across the channel, aud accustoming our
selves to regard matrimony as an affair !"
not to be entered upon lightly. but demand
ing the fullest and most mature deliberation;
like Tslleyrand, we are inclined to distrust
first impressions. although not precisely for
the reason alleged by that astute diplomatist.
Many young men who willingly succumb to
the attraction of pretty face, and plunge
unhesitatlngly into a Irritation on every
available opportunity, yet, however closely
they may flutter round the candle, take
especial care not to burn their wings, while
on their side the fair ladies, we may be sure,
are equally cautious as to the amount OF
encouragement they may safely venture to
bestow.-AU the Year Round.
