a SOMEWHAT remarkable article has
appeared in the Russische Revue by
Prince Demidon de san Donate, in
which he shows the very expressive leg
islatiOn under which the Jews exist in
that country: Except in exceptional
cases they are not allowed to live where
they Ike, but are forced 10 reside in GER
tain provinces. and then only in the
towns. by the law of 1865 this position
was somewhat ameliorated, and the
Jewish workman was permitted to quit
his birthplace and settle in another; but
practically be cannot move without
passport, which has to be renewed every
year, and this may be refused on very
slight pretence. Even ifhe was allowed
to 90, he would have to obtain q permit
OF sojourn from the municipal authori-
ties OF the town Of his choice, which
would probably be refused: and If this
difficulty were surmounted another per-
nit would have to be obtained for carry
ing on this trade. His wife and chill
dfen may accompany him, but no other
relatives; and If he dies in his new abode
his family aye obliged to return to their
original residence. Should he himself
grow old or incapable of getting his
livelihood, he has to do the same, even
though 1t was 30 years since he made
the change. In almost all parts of Rus
STA, Jews are forbidden to buy or to cul-
tivate land, and they cannot enter GER
tain trades and professions"

Trees of the Dismal Swamp.

Southern Lumberman.
The celebrated Dismal Swamp &C.
cupies the greater part of five counties
in Virginia, and three counties in
North Carolina, covering in all some
300 square miles of surface. A large
portion of this vast area is practically
inaccessible, and still UNEMPLOYED. The
swamp begins about 10 miles south.
west of Norfolk, and can best be
reached by steamboat via the Dismal
Swamp Canal, which passes within
three miles of Drummond's Lake.
There are three or four places in the
swamp where the boat stops, but there
is no hotel or even decent cabin with
in twelve miles of the lake. The wa
ter in the canal is of sinister blackness
very suggestive of malaria and chills,
yet it is both healthy and palatable,
and the swamp is the only place on
the southern coast which is entirely
free from malaria. The water has
the bitter flavor of tannic acid derived
from the juniper vegetation of the
swamp.
A considerable population of whites
and negroes subsist by the lumber
trade, which is the great industry of
this region, although there are many
good farms along the line Of the canal.
The soil is a bottomless peat bog which,
when dried and sweetened with lime or
oyster shells, produces fabulous crops
ofcorn and tobacco. The prevalent
forest growth consists of bald cypress,
white cedar, red cedar, magnolia, red
or swamp maple, sour gum, sweet gum
sweet gum and water oak. AS a
whole the flora of the swamp is rather
tame and monotonous, but if it were
possible to penetrate the remOter fast
ness many things would undoubtedly
be discovered which are invisible along
the margins.

Prairie Farmer.
This valuable dairy breed was intro
duced into this country from the Meth
erlands. One of the earliest importers
was Mr., Winthrop w. Chenery, of
Boston, who brought over a shipment
nearly forty years ago. AS their great
milk-producing qualities became known,
they grew in popularity and are now
rapidly increasing in numbers through
out the country, both by natural in
crease and direct importation. The
Holsteins are black and white in color,
irregularly distributed, with long, deep
bodies, large udders, and prominent
milk veins. With good care, and rich,
abundant feed, their capacity for pro-
ducing milk is marvellous. In last
weeks Prairie Farmer the record of
the COW Violet was given, viz, 1875
pounds of milk during the year ending
last March. Other cows of this breed
have approached if not equaled this.
Matilda K, has record of S24 pounds
of milk per day in Holland, on grass
alone.
