Saul Morteira and Isaac Aboab, the
Talmudists, were Spinoza's teachers i'll
rabbinical subjects. The renowned
scholar and writer, Manasseh ben Israel,
who in 1856 successfully pleaded before
Cromwell for the readmission of the Jews
to England after their 400 years Danish
ment, taught him Hebrew grammar and
philosophy His father, Michael Spin
oza, who wished him to study divinity,
instructed him in the knowledge of hui
man nature and showed him not to mis-
take superstitution for solid piety.
He once sent him, we are told, when
money which woman owed him. When
the boy entered her room, she was just
engaged in saying prayers. She beck
oned him to wait until she had finished
her devotions. When this was done,
Spinoza delivered his message. Having
counted tho money on the table she took
it in her hand and said: 'Here is what
owe your father. May you be some day
as pious man as he is. He has never
deviated from the faith, and heaven will
bless you if you become like him."
Then she was going to put the money
in his purse, but discerning in her face
features of false piety against which his
father had warned him, he put the money
on the table and counted it in spite Of
her remonstrances. He found that two
ducats were wanting, which the pious
woman had let fall into drawer through
a slit in the table.-Gentleman's Maya

Fieiding's .rom Jones. !.

Notwithstanding the good prices he re-
ceived for his books, Fielding was always
more or less in difficulties from his reckless
mode of living. tom Jones'" however,
was nearly being sacrificed in one OF his
inpecunious fits for the sum of twenty-five
pounds. The publisher fortunately asked
for day to consider if he could risk such a
sum, and Fielding in the meantime met
Thomson the poet, to whom he told the
transaction. Thomson scorned the idea Of
Fielding parting with his brains for such
a sum and offered to get him better terms,
but Fielding felt himself partly pledged
Never did author wait more anxiously on
a publisher hoping to be accepted than did
Fielding hoping to be refused He was re-
fusedi
Joyfully he carried his manuscript to
Thomson to fulfill his promise. The poet
introduced Fielding to Andrew Miller. who
handed the book over to his wife to read.
She discerned its merits and advised her
husband to keep it. Over pleasant din
ner, given by Miller to Fielding and Thorn
son, the bargain was made which secured
Fielding, to his great delight, f2OO for the
story. Miller is said to have cleared s1S,-

Fielding, from time to time, various sums
to the amount of 1900 pounds, bequeath-
ing him also handsome legacy.-Mur

The national congress comprises with
in its bounds and metes number Of
great American citizens who are not
what might be called "de rigger" in so
ciety or quite CONNIE il faut as to all the
proprieties, and their families are as yet
somewhat similar to them. One of these
new statesmen arrived with his wife and
four children one afternoon two or three
days before congress opened, and took
up his quarters in a swell hotel. The
youngsters, and in fact all of the family
had concluded that coming to Washing
ton was fine thing and they enjoyed
the conclusion thoroughly.
At half past 6 they went into the din
ing room to dinner, but supper" as they
seemed to think, and the boy among
the children had both his eyes wide open.
When he had been seated he spotted a
gentleman across the table receiving his

In 1888 NJ. Victorin Joncieres, the dis
tinguished composer and musical critic,
paid visit to Verona, and he states that
the tomb of Romeo's sweetheart, which is
1t the end of a garden in the old cloister Of
the Franciscan convent at that place, is
absolutely in ruins. Above it, in kind of
a niche in the garden wall, which is of
brick, is basket full of decayed and
weather stained visiting cards. Hanging
on the wall near by the niche is a wreath
with a card attached bearing the name of
"Mme Talbot Shakespeare, whom NJ
Joncieres puts down as descendent of the
Bard of Avon. On the wall to the left is
portrait of Friar Lawrence.
Romeo is buried at Mantua, and it Is
said that his tomb is in a much better state
of preservation than that of his lady love-
1t is to be hoped that persons who take an
interest in historic Italian monuments will
see to it that the memory Of these two ia
nous lovers is forever kept green.-St.

The three tribes of the Fort Bertholad
reservation are included in the nine tribes
in the United States that have been at war
with the government. OF these three the
Mandans are the smallest, numbering Il
little over 200, smallpox having almost de
stroyed them about 1853. But they are the
most interesting. There is a story to the
effect that they are descended from some
Welshmen who sailed west from Wales in
the Eleventh century and were never heard
of afterward The story is that the party
reached the mouth of the Mississippi and
worked their way up that river Many OF
their words resemble the Welsh language,
and they are of much lighter complexion
than Indians usually are. There are full
blooded Indians almost white among them

There is greater individual freedom in
Great Britain and her colonies than in
America. For instance, every Sunday
small knots of men may be seen in the
principal London parks, giving express
sion to the most varied sentiments on
matters political. social and religious,
and language painful to the great major
ity of the people is constantly being used.
No restriction is ever placed on such ex-
pressions of opinion, SO long as they are
uttered on sites designated by the police,
where there can be no obstruction to
traffic or danger of intimidation being
exercised. In America, however, no
meetings of any kind are permitted in
these open spaces.
In Central park. New York, no one
may even pick up a leaf without danger
of fine or imprisonment. No one may
walk on the grass unless he is playing a
game. barely escaped arrest for walk

gard themselves more as the masters

During severe electrical storm this
evening the Crescent oil refinery was
struck by lightning and caught fire, but
the blaze was extinguished without
much damage. The house of Ferdinand
Kreiner was struck by ball of electric
fire, which exploded with tremendous
force. A fire alarm was turned in, but
the electrical display burned itself out
without even setting fire to the house
Eyewitnesses say it was the most re-
markable sight they ever witnessed. An
enormous electric globe of fire lodged
against the peak of the house, where il;
hung, burning and splitting flashes of
fire until exhausted. Every inmate of
the place was more or less severely
shocked, the air being heavily charged.
All watches and clocks OH the premises
were stopped and other electrical phe-
nomena occurred. Bradford Cor. Pitts

wendell Phillips Power.

The writer heard Wendell Phillips
once on the nobility of the North Ameri-
can Indians, and while the spell of the
speech lasted he was almost ashamed OF
himself for being white instead of cop
per colored. One secret of the power OF
Phillips with an audience was that he
was always definite, certain in his state
ments and position. If he had privately
doubts about a course or a policy, he
never exhibited them when on the plat
form. He very well knew that there is
nothing an audience likes SO little in q
speaker as indecision and beating about
the bush. There was no haziness in
what he said His subject stood out be-
fore his hearers as clearly cut as cameo

wit of DR.. Barrow. Meeting the Earl Of
Rochester one day the witty peer exclaimed,

To which the clergyman replied, MY

The peer continued, Doctor, am yours

Englantl's Peerage.

"Our Old Nobility" as most people
are aware by this time, is superstition.
At least half of the hereditary peer
ages have been created within the last
sixty years, and not one-fourth were in
existence $50 years ago. The peerage
consists, for the most part, of clever law
yers, who, as Burke said, are only birds
of passage in the lower house, success
full commanders, unsuccessful party
hacks, munifcent party hackers and
wealthy brewers These are Our Old
Nobility" and we entirely fail to see
why anybody should object to their buy
