HEALTH OF JEWS.

One noticeable feature about Jewish
cemeteries in the South is the scarcity
of newly made graves sitter an epidemic
of cholera or yellow fever. Statistics
show that fewer of them die than any
other race from these or kindred dis
eases. During the cholera scotrge in
roulon only two orthodox Jews died of
it, while in numbers they equalled 20
per cent. of the population. Their i'm
munity from disease, and the certainty
with which they recover when attacked
BY it, is accounted for by the simplicity
of their diet. They are yerY strict
about following the dietary laws pre-
scribed by Moses. Isn'tit little strange
that Moses, if be was only q historian,
should have possessed knowledge supe-
rior to that of the wisest and best phys
icians of the present day? He evidently
believed IN preventing disease rather
than curing 1t. This is what De Ravens
Dyspepsia Cure aims to do; it acts dl
rectly on the digestive juices of the
stomach and both prevents aud cures

INGERsOIL AND EVARTs.

belong to the nil admirdrs school, so far
as Mr.. Eyarts's rhetoric is concerned,
none are more pronounced than Col9nel
Robert G. Ingersoll. The distinguished
aenostic confesses that be has wrestled
Intellectually with Mr.. Evarts's commin-

up IN despair. He tried the Greco

possible hold, and in each instance. al
Though claiming 20 sc somewhat expert
in grammatic athletics, he say she was
laid prone every time by the superior
trips and locks of Mr.. Evarts's para
graphs.
Alta recent reportorial visit Col. In2er-
soil was found in his office apparently
deeply absorbed in reading a book.
Every few minutes he would scratch
his bald head, tickle his left ear, look
upward 10 the ceiling and down at the
floor, rise up and slam the book down
IN the desk top, thrust his hands in his
breaches pockets, and betray generally
unmistakable signs of uneasihess and
discomfort. Turning suddenly in his
chair he greeted the correspondent about

The GoLDESpALE Town ELECTION. -
Several weeks ago those who want a ga

and until within few days all seemed
lovely for their side OF the question.

formed against hich they saw 1t would
be useless 10 kick, hence they didn't
show their hand at sll. There was NJ
opposition except for mayor the friends
of Postmaster Scammon putting him in
the field against Sig Siehel, though he
didn't want the Office. The people of
Goldendale have again said in load
voice that they do not want aEy saloon
among them, and ii would now be in
order for those who think that neither
the place nor themselves can get along
well without such an institution. TO 60
where they exist. The amusing part of
1t is that some fellows who a month ago
were favorinR dram shop whenever in
the right crowd, are nov outspokeu ad
voeates of the idea that we shoHld have
no saloon. Last yer the election oe
cured April 7th, and there were two
foil tickets in the field, what was con
sideFed the saloon ticket meeting With
an ignorninious defeat. Then there
were $50 votes cast, OF which a. were by

TEACHING CHILDREs.

A glance backward at the so-called
" good old times" will soon convince
tie veTiest pessimist that in the matter
Of the treatment of children the world
has advanced rapidly of late. There
was a time in the histasy OF Europ an
civiliz ltion when the father had the
power of life and death over bis child
sen, and there are still parts of the
world where this idea Is not extinct.
There vas time. and 1t was not very
long ago, scarcely century, when the
only idea of the school was place
where a sehoolmastsr, armed with rod
or whip, forced unwilling Youngsters to
dsyeur the contents of books with their
eyes and reeurgitate them from their
mouths in vain repetition Of words.
This idea is not dead Yet, but it is
dying before the dawn Of the idea that
teaches that children must be taught
to think, and that their weakness gives
no man or woman the right 30 ill-treat
them.

CHICAGO. April 6.-The Daily yssss'
Washington special SAWS: Gen. Sparks
has found evidence Of an attempt TO
steal over 500 coo acres Of land in de-
isnce Of an order of Secretary Lamar,
issued fev DAYS before Gen. Sparks
took possession Of the Land Office. For
s number of years tue Southern Pacific
Railroad Company has claimed the i5.-
10000 acres assigned 10 il by the Texas
Pacific railroad. Congress at its last
session declared this grant forfeited,
and directed that the land should be re-
stored 10 the public domain. On March
10Th Secretary Lamar issued an order
directing the Registers of the various
land offices throughout the country to
hold these lands subject to entry and
settlement. In the sarvey of the South
err Pacific road il laps at the Iuction
with tAe Texas Pacific in such a man
nsr that for a number of miles it runs
across the land Of the Texas Pacific
grant.
After Lamar had issued his order, the
agents of the road, anxious 20 save
something cut of the wreck of l5,0o0,-
90 acres applied through their friends
in the Land Office to have the lands ad
joining their road, where it laps upon
the Texas Pacific, exempted from the
order. Such an exemption was made
and was issued on March 18th, by Act-
ing Land Commissioner Harrison. The
tract exempted embraces nearly 100000
acres of land. This violation Of Lsmar's
order was very quietly accomplished. 1t
was only yesterday that Sparks discov
cred it. He called upon Harrison to sx
plain bis extraordinary order. Harrison
said that he had signed il merely in a
routine way. This is the favorite de-
fence for everything anearthed in the
departments. The order was traced
back to the chief and the head of the
railroad division in the bureau, but
neither one of them would assume the
responsibility of it.
General Sparks intends to carefully
investigate the whole subject and find
out who is responsible. There is no de-
Tense to be made. 1t was as deliberate
a theft as was ever planned. for if the
order could have stood undisturb ed for
a number of years. it would have given
the Southern Pacific road good claim
to try the case in the courts.
