A correspondent of the Manchester
Guardian writes: Perhaps hardly any
tale of ancient times has come down
to us SO well accredited as to its main
facts as the story of the sojourn of the
Isrselites in Egypt, their wanderings
in the desert, and the slow and painful
evolution among them of a higher form
of religious faith, and yet, If we are to
believe Profs. B. Stade ('Geschichts
des Volkes Israel'') and E. Meyer

argument from the silence of the
Egyptian records (why. he pertinent

sought to preserve the memory Of
events so little creditable to them
selves?), and rejects as unscientific
their attempt to eInasculate into
the mere passing wandering of some
small nomad tribe that migration and

has left lasting traces on the history
of the world. The accretions Of a later

Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1894-10-11

On the subject of the financial con-
dition of our presidents the esteemed
Times, of Hartford, says:
The Morning Advertiser alludes to
Mr.. Cleveland as "'the richest or one
of the richest of our presidents. Most
of our presidents have not been men
of wealth, but it is to be remembered
that George Washington left an estate
of $3.50, 900 equivalent to many times
as much now, and that several of his
successors were richer than Mr.. Cleve-
land is. The present occupant of the
White house was not rich man when
he entered in 1884 He has probably
accumulated moderate fortune since
that time, as his investments have
turned out well, and he was in receipt
of good legal income from 1889 to
1898. But it is not likely that he is
half as rich man to-day as was Mr..
Hayes, who left fortune of over
$4,000.
We did not forget George Washing
ton or Mr.. Hayes, says the New York
Advertiser in reply, but from all out
ward evidences the wealth left by
them could hardly have been as great
as Mr.. Cleveland enjoys o-day. Mr..
Cleveland was poorer than skim-milk
when he took up the business Of run
ming this republic, but he has been
making money rapidly ever since.
Those who are in position to know
can testify that he has been moving
toward great wealth by loaps and
bounds. The public has knowledge
only of few conspicuous turns, +" as
his friends in Wall street say, such for
example as Red Top (S125, 0O0) and
Chicago Gas, etc. (S200,00)), The
half million of Washington and
Hayes can hardly be said to be in it.
Perhaps the Hartford Times forgets
