In 1880 there were only 5000 Jews in
Jerusalem; now there are said to be 80, :
600. The recent prosecutions in Russia
are said to have caused the greater part
of this increase, and many are said to
have come from Germany.

IN SOCIETY.

One Of the surprises which sometimes
develop in social circles occurred ycster-
day afternoon, when Prof. Wharton $. Jones
and Miss Matte Boyd were quietly
welded at the residence OF the bride
mother on Vance street, at o'clock. No
cards had been issued and, in fact, no an
nOuncement Of any sort had been made to
the friends OF the parties, hence the com
plete surprise when II became known.
The ceremony was performed in quiet
way, the Rev. George Patterson olliclat-
ing, the only guests being the immediate
families OF the parties and a few intimate
friends. II is not a surprise that these
two congenial spirits have found in each
other that affection which makes two
souls as one. In birth, education, tastes
and social rank they are peculiarly fitted
each for the other, and all friends concede
that il is union happily cohsummated.
Prof. Jones is well known throughout the
city, not only as a proficient and thor
ough educator OF youths, but rs
a gentleman Of highest culture and
refinement. In social circles he
hes been prominent figure and has won
many a friend through his bon hommie.
In Miss Boyd he has won woman whose
highest purpose was noble, and whose
humbics, achievement was success.

II wc are thus able to secure large and
desirable immigration, may we not reasona-
bly, look for an active demand for land? As
the transactions in land become more numer-
Gus, will not purchasers multiply and the
groundlcss distrust and prejudice among our
home people against land as security for
borrowed money Disappear And it may
not be out Of place TO remark just here that
many Of our home capitalists have curious
notion that loan upon lands may be in
definitely tied up in the courts, while such
collateral securities rs stocks and bonds are
exempt from these evil contingencies, 1t

the law which will enable the debtor TO tie
