JEWS AND THEIR KIND FEELINas.-Tt

JEWS AND THEIR KIND FEELINas.-The
New York Independent quotes from the
Hebrew Journal of that city the following
words in praise of Christianity; how that
the underlying truths of Judaism and
Christianity are identical, and that Christ.
ians have reason for their acceptance of
Christ as the fulflment of the Messianio
hope of the Jews:
"They have the warrant in his intense
humanity; his large, sweet, living charity :;
his imperishable love; his admirable
thoughts so nobly expressed; his great
pity for suffering, and his earnest desire to
convey his moral lesson his doctrine of uni
versal benevolence; his preaching Of world
wide kindness, which EMBODIED all mankind
in its tender and merciful sympathies. 1t
is not marvellous that the gospel should
have such agreat success when we behold
it preaching to the slave: to the humble, to
the outcast, and urging on the rich that
charity which encompasses all things. 1t
is thus accepted not only by the humble
classes, but by nearly all the profound
thinkers, men of great earnestness, devoted.
ness and high moral worth. The mother
religion cannot therefore slur at the daugh-
ter; she can well forgive the Injuries in
ficted on her in the past, and any errors in
dogma, in the contemplation of the adorable
moral grandeur, the lovely, bene6cent, con-
soling teachings of her daughter"

FARRAGUT's FLAGSHIP ON FIRE.-From
an account by Commander Albert Kautz,
in The Century War Papers for April, we
quote the following: "No sooner had Far
ragut given the order 'Hard-a-port,' than
the current gave the ship a broad sheer,
and her bows went hard up on a mud bank.
Az tue fire raft came against the port side
of the ship, it became enveloped in flames.
We were so near to the shore that from the
bowsprit we could reach the tops ofthe
bushes, and such short distance above
Fort St. Philip that we could distinctly
hear the gunners in the classmates give their
orders; and as they saw Farragut's flag at
the mizzen, by the bright light, they fired
with trightfu rapidity. Fortunately they
did not make sufficient allowance for our
close proximity, and the iron hail passed
over our bulwarks, doing but little damage.
noonday, but out over the majestic river,
where the smoke of many guns was inten-
sified by that of the pine knots Of the FIRE
RATS, it was dark as the blacklist midnight.
For moment it looked as though the flag
ship was indeed doomed, but the fremen
were called away, and with the energy of
dispair rushed aft to the quarter deck. The
flames, like so many forked tongues of hiss
ing serpents, were piercing the air in a
frightful manner, that struck terror to all
hearts. AS crossed from the starboard to
the port side of the deck, passed close to
Farragut, WI o AS he looked forward and took
in the situation, clasped his hands high in air,
and exclaimed, My God, is it to end in this
wayr Fortunately it was not to end as il
at that instant seemed, for just then Mas
ter's Mate Allen, with the hose in his hand,
jumped into the mizzen rigging, and the
sheet of flame succumbed to sheet of
water. 1t was but the dry paint on the
ships side that made the threatening flame,
and it went down before the fierce attack of
the firemen as rapidly as it had sprung up.
AS the flames died away the engines were
backed hard, and, as if provdentially, the
ram Manassas struck the ship blow under
The counter, which showed her stern in
against the bank, causing her bow to slip
off. The ship was again free; and loud
spontaneous cheer rent the air, as the crew
rushed to their guns with renewed energy"
