THE FIRST HEBREW PEER.
How Lord ROthschfId Took His Seat
in the House Of Lords,

How Lord ROGhschild Took His Seat
in the House Of Lords
"A New York Herald cabIegram from Lon
don describes an occurrence in the
house of lords possessing great interest to
Hebrews throughout the world and destined
to become historic: Lord Rothschild took
the peerage oaths, escorted by the
Earl of Rosebery, husband of Hannah
Rothschild, daughter Of the late Baron
Mayer, and by Lord Darlington, son of that
Lord Darlington who, during ten years Of
contention, from 1848 to 1853, voted against
the bill admitting Lord Rothschild's father,
Baron Lionel, to the house of commons
In the gallery were the proud and happy
faces Of Lady Rosebery, Lady Rothschild,
Lady Anthony de Rothschild, Miss Alice de
Rothschild, Baron Ferdinand-de Rothschild
and Mr. Alfred de Rothschild, who watched
the proceedings. The oath was taken with
great solemnity on a Hebrew copy Of the
Pentateuch, held by Deputy Clerk Ralph
Disraeli, brother of the late Earl Of Bea-
consfeld, while Lord Rothschild stood with
his head covered. Then, .as the first Hebrew
peer took his seat on the front opposition
bench below the gangway, all his colleagues
cheered. Doubtless, many recalled how, in
the year 1890, from London all Jews were
driven into foreign exile, pursued by the
execrations Of the rabble and leaving in the
hands Of the crown all their property.

THE HESSIAN FLY.


Farms I'm Western Central New York
Devastated by the Pest.
A Lyons tN. " dispatch states that "the
Hessian fly is destroying hundreds Of fields or
growing wheat in this vicinity, and THE
farmers have been thrown into state Of
great alarm More extensive rayages in grain
have never before been known III Wayne
and Ontario counties. i5essian flies appeared
in he towns Of Lyons and Arcadia a month
ago, but nothing was done to check their in-
crease. They have now extended many
miles in all directions and are moving rapid
ly toward the northern part of Wayne
county. The total amount Of destruction OF
wheat thus far is estimated at over one
hundred and eighty thousand bushels.
In Lyons, Junius and Arcadia wheat fields OF
twenty-five and thirty acres each have been
SO injured that they appear wholly barren
where three weeks agoa harvest of thousands
Of bushels were promised. Tn Junius the de-
vastation has been so complete that farmers
there are about to burn the whole Of the
wheat straw on their lands in order I'd
check, if possible, tine advance Of the pest.
Many farmers have lost so much grain that
they will be unable to make payments on the
mortgages on their property, and will proba-
bly, have their farms sold by the sheriff The
greatest fer IS that the pest win rapidly de-
strOy tie grain until harvest and that hun

A DOMESTIC TRAGEDY.
A Jealous Wife Kills her Two Chill
dren and Browns Herself.


dPen and Browns Hersells
a terrible domestic tragedy is reported
from Howden, a little village in Indiana. A
Mrs. Rogers. becoming jealous of her hus-
bands attentions to her cousin,
pretty school teacher who was
visiting at her house, ordered the young
woman to leave. Rogers there1pon struck
bis wife to the floor. and left the hoiise with
his guest. When they returned in the even
ing they found the two Rogers children dead
in the barn, their heads nearly severed with
an ak, and Mrs. Rogers drowned in water
trough. Mrs. Rogers had evidently brooded
over her troubles all day and finally, just be-
fore the time for Rogers to return home, had
taken the children to the barn and murdered
them, and then deliberately lay down in the
water trough and ended her sorrows.

CHAPTER vi.
WIN NAN.


Without, the dull gray morning dawned
through sullen sky, enveloping the old
works IN mist and gloom. Within the
apartment which Reuben Leslie and his
villainous contidant had left few hours
before the dim lamp light revealed the
mute form Of the crushed girl-wife just as
they had placed her on the couch.
At the table, leaning over ina chair, her
head sunk on her breast, the old hag dozed
stupidity.
The 1ntensest silence prevailed, SO in
tense, indeed, that the slow burning Of the
oil through the wick in the lamp sounded
like the low hum of some drowsy insect in
the apartment.
In the act Of almost toppling from the
chair to the floor, from the doze of drowsi-
ness to full slumber, the old woman arous-
ed herself and mumbled confusedly. Then
her hand went sleepily to the pocket of her
dress oroned around. and drew ont a small
