Few people are aware that Prince Bismarck is Of
Hebrew descent He derives his Jewish blood from
his mother, whose father-Anastasius Menken one
of the favorite bureaucrats of Frederick the Great
was of Hebrew parentage. Although of late it has
evidently appeared polite to the prince to counte-

and AUSTRIA yet while in office he invariably showed
himself good friend to the Jewish nation, and chose

with Napoleons character. Still it is a current the
DRY that some of the money which enabled Napoleon
H. to reach the imperial throne was found in the
lucky silver piece, which his mother Queen Hortense
had wheeded out of her brother-n-law.
''The most likely explanation to why the five
franc piece fails to turn up is that Baron Ferdinand
de Rothschd, French member of the great Jewish
banking house. secured it. This account states that
Baron de Rothschid, having investigated the tradi-
ton and found sufficient proof of its truth deber-
ately set to work locate the 81 900 900 note He
quietly bought in and collected every veranc piece
he could get and his agents notified to preserve
and forward to Paris every five-franc piece which
reached them in Europe, Asia, Africa, America. In
his office the Baron kept three trusty men hard at
work bisecting the coins. Some say that he had in
vented plan for welding them together again
to defy detection; others maintain that he melted
down the silver and sold it to the government. The
work was colossal; but in the end the Baron's sys-
tenn is said to have conquered Hefound the note for
100000 francs having spent nearly million to
obtain it. The order duly presented at the Bank

FUNERAL reform is occupying the attention OF
Christian ministers in various parts of the country
The first point of attack in each is the funeral
sermon. The consensus of opinion is in favor OF
abolishing it. Among Jewish ministers, Dr. Casch,

Miller Wants Barracks,

San Francisco, Sept. 20.-Whle Cen
eral Miller, in command of the Preside
military post. is strongly in favor of
substituting substantial barracks for
the tents now in use, he will not act in
the matter until the return of General
Merriam from Honolulu. Without an
express appropriation by congress for
the purpose, says General Miller, moth
Ing but temporary structures can be
erected for barracks. But even these
would be vastly superior to the scant
protection against the elements which
the tents afford. The necessity of more
careful housing troops during the COM
ing winter is made apparent by the in
crease In the sick list at Camp Mer-
RAM. There have been nine new cases
reported at the division field hospital,
making 318 in all, as against 900 when

Thanks, MIR. LabOuchere.

The old world in its dealings with
the new assumes an attitude Of conde-
scension which is as ridiculous as it is
unwarranted. When the Spanish Amer
lean war broke out, the Spaniards treat
ed their American opponents with aris-
tocratic contempt, referred to them as
"ilibustering vagabonds" and gener-
ally assumed an attitude Of incompar-
able superiority. One OF the salient
features Of the late war. apart from the
ease with which the Spaniards were
overcome and the gross corruption that
has been shown to exist in official cir
Giles in Spain, is the manly, honest, gen.
erous and ohivalrous conduct Of the
United States government forces and
people from the beginning to the end Of
the campaign. 1t is only just to give ex.
preston to the general feeling Of adj
iniration which the new chivalry has
created throughout Europe. London
