TIE interview had with Representative
Grain Of the Ssveath district, Texas, by
the Washington correspondent, will be
read with interest just now when internal
improvements and the necessity for them
is beginning to engross me attention of
the Southern people. Our South Atlantic
coast has been too neglected, and with the
mississippi should have the prompt stten-
tion of Congress at its next session. AS
Mr.. Grain says, jobs and jobbsry should
be utterly iguored, and Congress ought to
address itself to the most needed and
greatest work first and make appropria-
tions that would "put it through" as ex-
peditiously as possible, Just as private en-
terprises usually are.

The Strange Experience Of n Mar
Buried Alive.

PORTLAND, Me-, November 10.-About
fourteen months ago Joseph Dyer, aged
twenty years, of Cape Elizabeth, was
thrown from a wagon and picked up dead,
as supposed. The body Was inferred in
Evergreen Cemetery. A short time ago
his parents were warned that he was alive
and well, and would soon be home. The
coffin was exhumed, and when it
was about being opened at the
Dyer residence young Dyer walked
into the house and said, when he
saw what was being done, "Don't open it,
for here l am" His appearance, as may
well be supposed, caused an exciting
scene. 1t is supposed that medical stu.
dents dug uD the body for the purpose OF
dissectirg, found Dyer alive, and treated
him until he thoroughly recovered. The
young man remembers nothing of wha.
took place while in the doctors hands.

THE FIRST JEUISH PEER.

The elevation of Sir Nathaniel de Rothschild
TO the British peerage is in many respects sig
nificant. Mr.. Gladstone has the credit OF
creating the first Jewish peer for though Lord
Beaconsfield was jew by race, he was not
q professor of the Hebrew faith, and in fact
had done what was possible to efiace his con-
nection with his own people. But the Roths-
childs represent Hebraism all over the world,
and their family has for many years been doing
the actual fighting against the venerable
preiudces which for so many centuries refused
to the Jews throughout Europe either social
or political positions. Even in this age of
federation it has taken more than a generation
to conquer inherited antipathies but 1t Is IN
structve to observe that i'll England the House
of Lords has always been behind the Com
mons in this az in so many other points. Thus
when in 1S49 Baron Lionel de Rothschild was
returned to the House from London, and being
refused his seat the Jews Oaths of Abjura-
ton Bill was introduced to remove his
disabilities the bill passed the House, but was
rejected by the Lords, and IN 1855 and 1859
the same measure repeatedly passed the House,
only to be as steadily thrown out by the upper
chamber.
Nov did the Lords yield gracefully, for the
problem was solved in 1853 by the passage of
an act enabling Jews to sit in Parliament by
resolution of the House. thus putting the meas
ure in the form of matter of House admin
istration, withswhich the Peers could not afford
TO NEEDLE. 1t was nearly ten years from his
first election when Baron Lionel de Rothschild
took his seat After that Baron Meyer de
Rothschild was elected for Hythe, and several
| Jews we're chosen as Sheriff and Lord Mayor of
| London. But it was not until 1871, after the
| abolition of tests, that jew was made Master
| of Arts at Oxford ; and even when Disracli was
| Premier of England and in the zenith of his
reputation there is reason to believe that he de-
| clined peerageyin favor of his wife, not be-
| cause he did not desire the honor, but because
he feared the political effect of his elevation.
| At later period he accepted the distinction,
though there was much grumbing among the
| Conservative Peers, but he was not regarded as
a thorough jew.
| The elevation of Sir Nathaniel de Rothschild,
therefore, marks decided advance. 1t must
be concluded that the old prejndices have nearly
disappeared. For. though. the special distinc

Jealous members of the party, who seek adnis-
sion because they have an interest IN the us
cussion of public questions and In the perform
ance of political duties. Then the organization,
thus constituted, should not claim to con'roi
the party, but should recognize that the III
terests and wishes of all members OF the parry
are to be fairly consulted in primary meetings
and in conventions. The objects Sought by
these clubs should be rather the promotion Oh
principles than the advancement OF men. Iheir
aim should be political education, by assocla-
ton, by frequent meetings, by the discussion OF
public questions, and by gaining clearer
understanding OF public men and OF their
shades of opinion. A voluntary organization
for such active effort all the year round, en-
braciug only those who are interested in such
effort, and claiming only the influence which
such men as individuals naturally and right
fully have, must ever be of incalculabc benefit
to the party. But Ia most localities an organ
ization which aims at more or claims more Is
apt to do harm rather than good.
