Jewish and English History Compared.

All through the history of the Jewish
people the haunting sense of great
idea-of the divine mission of the
Nation-is never absent from their
records. In the Genesis, the Exodus,
Deuteronomy, in the Chronicles of their
Judges, Kings and prophets, continual
ly we may hear the echo of the words
the refrain, as it were, of a great ma
tional anthem" ave are Thy people, o
Godn' But England has had also her
sacred mission in the world. Our
country has had her divine Genesis and
Exodus, her Chronicles of Kings and
prophets And surely some of us, at
any rate, as we have lately read the
story anew in the pages of Mr.. Green s
Making of England" and his His
tory of the English People" can not
but have felt that we, too, as well as
the Jews. of old, have been 'chosen
people," that Milton was right after all
when he spoke of Goods Englishmen, "
and that we, each one of US, are only
worthy of our great national heritage in
so far as we show ourselves conscious
of the divine sanctions which lies be-
hind it Good Words.

Operation Of German Railroads.

The passenger traffic on German rail.
ways is divided among three classes OF
trains-railway, express and courier.
The former run at q speed of fifteen to
twenty miles an hour, including stops,
the express makes from twenty to TWEEN
ty-tive miles, and the courier trains
from twenty-five to thirty-five miles.
The latter speed is not attained on long
stretches where there are important
stops, but is found between large cities
where the intermediate stops are rare
and unimportant. With these speeds
it is naturally easy to run on time. and
no serious irregularity in this respect
has ever occurred during my travelling
in Germany. | think it may be said
that there is no practical difference in
the running time of ordinary and ex-
press Grains as a rule, the difference in
actual time being due to fewer stops.
Extra rates of fare are generally charged
on express and courier trains. The lat
ter, az rule, the former sometimes,
have only first and second-class accom-
mediation, so that persons who would
if possible travel third-class including
the vast majority of middle-class trav-
elers-are obliged to pay nearly double
when they travel over seventeen miles
per hour.
The third-class accommodation in
Germany is not SO good as that in En-
gland, whereas the second-class is at
least as good or better. The second
class is so nearly equal to first that a
i stfll smaller number travel ''hrst" than
I IN, In In, hn 10 ft.xr ~,
fact, the effort has been to do away
with the second-class travel, while in
Germany that branch is apparently
particularly favored by the manage
ment. In Germany there is a fourth
class, used almost exclusively by peas
ants and the poorer laboring class ger
orally, and inferior in accommodation
to our emigrant cars. The rates in
North Germany are as follows, in cents,
per mile:

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1884-08-23

Having regard to the fact that the
vast majority of fast travel must be
made second-class, it will be seen that
three cents per mile is the average rate
comparable with the ordinary accom-
mediation afforded by American rail
roads. Return tickets. good for a week,
are generally to be had at considerably
reduced rates. Water-closets are now
often found on first and second-class
carriages, and dining cars are run on
courier trains on various lines.
In the matter of locomotives, the or
binary type at present for passenger
service is q four-coupled engine with
single pair of leading wheels, inside &C.
centric gear and cylinders oyerhanging,
entirely in front of the front axle.
There are very few inside cylinders
used on North German railways. Out
side valve gear of various kinds seems
to be gaining ground. SiX-coupled en-
gines without leading wheels are the
favorite freight engines, and on noun
tain sections eight-coupled machines.
| noticed on the Saal Railroad, west Of
Saxony, peculiar type of machine, OF
which the leading features are carriage
of engine entirely on four-coupled
drivers; outside valve gear, and the
tank carried down between the tender
rwheels. The tender and engine are
united, in addition to the regular coup
ling, by tolerably close-titting shoot
bolts, one on each side, with the inten-
ton, presumably of using the tender to
prevent rocking of the engine on its
four-coupled wheels. The addition to
the tank between the wheels struck me
as possibly practical novelty in our
practice; the center of gravity being
carried thereby very low and consider
able water space gained. Driving wheel
tires are generally secured with set
screws in addition to being shrunk on,
but the spring-ring fastening is also
used, particularly in Saxony.-Cor.

The old custom of bottling tears is
still continued in Persia. 1t must be
very old, as it is alluded to in the
Psalms of David. AS the mourners are
sitting around and weeping, the master
of ceremonies presents each one with a
piece of cotton, with which he wipes off
his tears. This cotton is afterward
squeezed into bottle, and the tears are
preserved as powerful and ef1icacious
remedy for reviving a dying man after
every other means have failed. 1t is
also employed as charm against evil
influences. The practice was once uni
versal, as is evidenced by the tear bot
ties which are found in almost every
ancient tomb.
