Jewish Farming--RabbI Blen AM
plifies His Previous Expressions
on the Subject.
st. Louis Post-Dlspateh.
Rabbi H. M. Bien, of Vicksburg,
who took decided stand against
Israelites entering agricultural pur-
suits, at the United Hebrew Congrega-
tions which closed here yesterday, in
discussing the matter with Post
Dispatch reporter this morning spoke
as follows:
81 am absolutely opposed to Jewish
farming. There can be nothing in that
occupation, as there is nothing in any
other, that can be, or should be, espe-
cially Jewish. 1t is un-American to
mix up denominational matters with
good citizens mode of earning his
livelihood. Israelites may be farmers
and planters, but they are not so, and
should not be SO, in connection with
their creed. God save US from the
time when the country shall be sec
toned out by the churches. 1t would
bring out nice state Of affairs in the
produce market. There would be a
basket of Catholic eggs, and sack Of
Methodist potatoes, crate of Episco-
pal tomatoes, and barrel Of Jewish
onions. Still more comical would the
stock market appear. Imagine an Is
raelitlsh swine, Catholic ass, a
Methodist sheep. Baptist COW and so
forth, ad infnitum. l am further Of
the opinion that by the peculiar
history of the Hebrews for
the last thousand years their brains
have been developed to a wonderful
degree in the direction Of financiering
and mercantile pursuits, Forbidden
under their prosecutors to have home
and to own land, with no avenue left
open for their pursuits but trade, while
their enemies intended them evil and
annihilation, Providence turned it to
their good, and by their wealth and
success as bankers, capitalists and
merchants, they are now actually the
third great power of the world, occu.
| pying IA position which no other walk
in life could ever have insured them
This especially, enabled them to give
their children under all conditions the
very best education. secured them ma
terial comforts, made them patrons o.
science, art and learning, and preserved
them under the most cruel social con
dltions, so that they now stand won
der and amazement to all the civilized
world.
It Hebrews have the desire to be.
come farmers, let their children be
educated and brought up as such. No
money will ever buy this need per sc
for success in this branch of our i'm.
portant industry. Then let them own
their farms and plantations to theil
hearts content, and mingling with
their fellow citizens as neighbors ant
friends. they will then succeed II
breaking down the walls of prejudic'
that still exist in many directions
Clannishness and sectarian exclusive
ness will not do it. Neverl never! 81

AUSTIN MISS. July 6, 1885.
j. NJ. Heathman, Member of Levee Board
Dear Sir: Replying to your inquiry,
the total quantity of work already
done on the line Of levees dIring the
past season is 1885,, 400 cubic yards.
I The estimate Of the additional work
needed to build up the whole line to
standard grade, that is three feet above
the high water plane Of 1882, is 2,06l,-
.514 cubic yards.
:, In the present condition of the old
levee, it being deficient both in height
and base in most places, it would be
difficult to save the district from disas-
ter, with a recurrence of the water OF
1882. Very respectfully,
T. G. DABNEY, Chief Engineer.

KEEP UP TILE BOOM.


When the question is put directly to
the citizens of Vicksburg, for, or against
the shops, very large majority will
vote for them. They cannot afford to
do otherwise. There may be, in the
judgment of some, a little risk in
voting for the shops, but there is
certainly very much more risk in
voting against them. If after all the
efforts to secure them, Vicksburg fails
it will be very serious blow. So
many calculations have been made on
getting them, and so many enterprises
have been started in the belief that
this addition to the population and
wealth of the city would be made, that
failure now, would discourage the
citizens, and seriously retard the
Elowth Of the place. 1t is far better
to take the risk of the vote asked, Sc
cure the shops and the good will of the
powerful corporation, than to attempt
to endure the paralysis Of enterprise
that would surely follow a negative
vote. The good sense of the citizens
of Vicksburg will enable them to
weigh all these things carefully before
the matter is voted on, and we have
very little doubt that the vote will be
overwhelmingly in the Affirmative.
It is true the proposition as it is tC
be voted on is not satisfactory to quite
a number of good citizens; and it is
true that no proposition would meet
the approval of all; at the same
time, when the citizens have to meet
the issue, shops, or no shops, they viii
almost unanimously decide for tht
shops. They should fully understand
that this is positively the last chance
p secure them. There can be NJ
~ bbt the patience of the L., N. o. Il I
pile is worn threadbare, and th'
lGision must be had promptly ant
uecisively.
We trust the Mayor will call tn
. election for the earliest legal time
that the matter may be settled. w
are confident Vicksburg will make tn
best of her opportunity, secure tn
shops, enhance the value of all he
real estate and keep up the boom o
improvement.

he would have to leave with him,
and accordingly he brought the
prisoner here. A large mob Of
armed men visited the jail
