THE JEWISH SOUTH.

Suddenly there was a hush, and all eyes were turned
to the palace gate, from which the Car issued in the
same simple promenade suit which he wore on the
previous evening. He was followed by Benkendorf,
the commanding general, who bore a silken cushion,
upon which rested a gold medal. The Gar cast his
looks over the crowd, and seeing the rabbi, he stepped
up to him and tapped him on the shoulders and said:
Greetings to you, learned rabbi of Sklow. This
medal | present to you for your fealty to your empe-
1or; wear it on your breast as a token of my good
will and respect, in everlasting remembrance of the
hour of yesterday"
Unable to utter a word of thanks, the rabbi fell
upon his knees, and kissed the hem Of the imperial
mantle and then the medal.
Cheers from a thousand throats rose up. When
the rabbi regainel his comoosure the emperor had
already been driven off at a rapid gait.
Slowly the rabbi arose and, with his eyes filled
with tears and directed to heaven above, he PRAYED:
Blessed be Thou, oh God, who hast impaired of
Thy glory to mortals Monthly.

sion of Lord Rothschild, which adjoins Apsley House,
the residence of the Duke Of wellington, is the unfin-
ished piece of the superb cornice in the great marble
hall. This is III accordance with the Hebrew precept
which forbids any devout believer in the Talmud to
regard his home on earth as anything but temporary
and therefore incomplete. Lord Rothschild's p~articu-
lar hobby is the Jews free school in the Whitechapel
district of London, which has an average daily at
tendance of 900 children, probably the largest ros-
ter of any school in the world. This institution is
maintained entirely by the peer, and it is probably the
only school of the kind where each child is provided,
free of cost, with a good breakfast of hot milk and
bread and butter before beginning the days studies.
Each pupil receives a new suit of clothes once a year,
and Lord Rothschild encourages thrift among the
pupils by paying them an interest of 10 per cent. per
annum on whatever money they are able to save or
earn or to put by.

hat to me. Are you really ignorant of who l am 2"

Not well guessed, rabbi" said the Car, hardly
able to restrain alaugh. 81 am more than a colonel y
Perhaps a general exclaimed the rabbi excited
ly, retracing his steps and touching his hat.
More than a general"
Perhaps Rodinger?" And without waiting for
an answer he stepped further back, took his hat off
and bowed deep, because he doubted not that he was
in the presence of that mighty d~ignitary.
More than Rodinger,'' laughed the Car, with
out taking his eyes off the Jew.
Then, 'stammered the Jew, almost palsied with
fright, you must be Prince Paskiewitch! !"

Speeches., and in pangs of horror, the rabbi held
the hat in his hand; trembling all over, he looked a
picture of despair.
Who might that gentleman be? he racked his
brain. perhaps the %adjutant of the emperor? And
If it is he, what have | to fear?" He Gained his ex-
c1tement, and taking fresh courage he approached the
Car in confidence, and said:
II do not believe that you are more than Paskie-
witch even Prince Paskiewitch would not promenade
alone without a guard or protection, and hold con-
v%ersation with a Jew, regardless of the fact that there
is no higher imperial %dignitarv in this city. You have
probably had your sport with me t, enjoy my embar-
rassment and fright; but Id not begrudge it to you.
Farewell! but before we separate, let me request you
humby not to speak to anyone of the conversation
held between us, because bad men sometimes inter
pref the most innocent words of the Jew to be bad.
| repeat that | take you for a very great officer, but
not higher than Paskiewitch. Farewell, and do not
be angry at the bold rabbi of Sklow."
Before the Gar could make an answer the rabbi
had disappeared.
That very evening the Car related his adventure
to the commanding general, Count Benkendorf, and
through him ordered the chief of the police to find out
the stopping-place of the rabbi, and to make provis-
ions, SO that he should have a place quite near to the
emperor.
An imperial carriage, drawn by six horses, stood
next morning III front OF the imperial residence, ready
to transport the Gar to the manmuvre held in the

Sousa, as Gilmore's successor, and
other masters, have brought their
commands to such a pitch of efficiency
in all the phases of successful perform

accept P. S. Gilmore's prophesy as an

Beethoven, the Phaedre overture by
Massenet, the List RhapsOdies, the
Bach fuges, Gottschalk's compositions,
Mendelssohn, Wagner, Brahms, Mo

Gen. Harrison.

''If the Hon. Benjamin Harrison had
allowed the persuasion of his friends to
induce him to say that he would &C
cept the United States senatorship,
the Office would have been handed him
on gold platter" said one of the
best known republican leaders of India
ma, at present occupy ing high position
in that state, to reporter at the Eb-
bit.
But Gen. Harrison has firmly de-
clined to entertain the idea of comm z
to the senate for one moment. He is
contented with his domestic life and
his law practice, and no inducement
could tempt him back to Washing ton,
where, in the last years of his re
sidence, he experienced such bitter
afflictiOn.
THE general said to me once that
during his service in the senate he
never met but one man that was really
d senator, and that was Geo. L. Ed
muGds, of Vermont All the rest were
errand boys or department messengers
for their constituents He was disgust
ed with the experience and would not
repeat it for any earthly consideration"

Electric Locomotives.

A new electric locomotive of large
dimensions, calculated to draw trains
of double the weight of those attached
TO ordinary engines at the rate of sixty
two miles an hour, has been tried with
success on the western railroad of a
French line. The first experiments CT
tn 5 kind We're made IN 1893, between
Havre and Bonneville, with an electric
locomotive, which behaved well
throughout the trial trip. Owing to
the success OF this machine, the com
pany's engineers constructed two larger
locomotives, and it is one Of those
which has just been tested. 1t is fifty
seven feet long and of 1,450 horse pow
err.
In spite Of its size it will wear out
rails less than ordinary locomotives, as
the weight is distributed on eight aXles
instead of four or five. II Is safer than
others, owing to its elastic character,
which enables it to make curves with
security at full speed. Great things
are, in fact, expected from these
cOntrivances, which, when perfected,
will do from 100 to lis miles an hour.

THE facility with which the English

moat or embankment or other means
of defense. The trocha was built
across the narrow portion of the island
for the purpose of keeping the insur-

the others. has come to stay.
