JEWIsH pHilANTHROP,STS.

A Jewish mendicant IL rare spectacle
In New York, and the appeal OF any jew
ish fraternity to the Christian brothers
almost unknown. The Jews look after
their own poor. 1t is part OF their re-
ligiOn--chsrity according to their creed
being nothing more than justice-the rich
looking after the INDECENT, as the strong
Of the Anglo-Ssxon race look after the
weak, without question and without de-
mur or boasting. The almost phenomenal
generosity Of the Baron and the Baroness
de Hirsch, which in New York alone has
resulted In the gift Of msny millions to
our poor, has not perhaps been equalled
IL numbers by any Of our citizsns,
though proportionstely to their means
no Jews of wealth have failed to reach
their standard.
Il Is the fashion among s0-called hu-
morists 70 ridicule the love of getting,
among the Hebrew shopkeepers, making
it seem characteristic Of the race, and
ignoring altogether the generosity OF the
better class, who even in this country

A Convincing Answer.

There are many people who do not
care for libraries who pride themselves
on having "only the books they read
about them, but the answer made by
a distinguished scholar 10 one OF those
persons very well illustrates how yalu-
able is this idea as 10 what library
should be. The scholar was connected
with an institution OF learning which
had been greatly helped by liberal
man OF the neighborhood, but the llber-
al man was not much OF sympathizer
with the idea OF increasing the library.
When appealed to In the matter, he re-
piled:
More booksi Dear me. II seems to
me you've got more than you can read
now. Have you read all you have al
readyY'
"So," returned the scholar. "and ]
never expect 10 read them all"
Then why do you want moreT
"Let me ask you" said the scholar.
did you ever read the dictionary
through"
Certainly not" was the reply.
"wel, sir" said the scholar, "A libra
ry is my dictionary

merchant provided the professor with

He had precious little in the way OF
luggage to incumber him. He carried
only few small toilet articles in one Of
his pockets, and that included all he
brought to the mansion Of General FL
bridge.
Ii was with curious emotion that
he examined the sleeve Of his military
coat. The slash made by the knife OF
Jim Ackers, the better 10 examine the
wound, had been sewed together with
such deftness that the seam was hardly
visible.

Then his face flushed with shame at the
unworthy thought. Had he possessed
an extra garment he would have donned
it and treasured the mended coat 10 the
end Of his life.
He gathered his few personal belong
ings and placed them in his pocket.
Then the revolver was examined, in
cluding his small supply Of cartridges.
He felt no pain in his wounded arm.
though il had not perfectly healed. For
all purposes ID was as strong and as
serviceable as ever. Then he softly
blew out the candle and again sat down
by the window.
Listening carefully. he could hear no
sound Of voices below stairs. Indeed it
was understood when he bade his
friends good night that il was the in
tention of all to retire. The stairs in
the other division Of the house had been
used. which accounted for his not hear
ing any footsteps
The question he asked himself was
whether he should descend and leave by
a lower door or drop from the window.
II Captain Trenholm suspected any
thing Of the kind. he would doubtless
be on the watch, in which event the
window was preferable. The distance
was so moderate that by hanging from
the sill the fall would hardly jar him.
He rose to his feet and looked out.
The round, full moon was high in the
sky. with few ragged clouds drifting
past. but the building itself was wrap
ped in shadow. The stiffness was pro-
found. A low. hollow murmur seemed

he resumed his seat, and the conversa-
ton went on Mrs Eldridge and her
daughter beamed with pleasure, while
the captain was entertaining in the
highest degree.
Oakman joined in the jest and
smiles. but il was all forced. for he
plainly saw the captain reach ont and
take the willing hand Of the young lady
and fondle it. And 1t was not once but
many times that this audacious thing
occurred right under his own eyes.
More shocking than al, the mother
observed the shameful proceeding and
gave no evidence Of being offended by
its manifest improperly.
Captain Trenholm would not listen
20 the proposition that their guest
should take the horse Of Miss Eltridge.
Indeed there was no necessity for 1t,
since he had a fine animal Of his own,
which was placed at the lieutenant q
disposal, and since 50 much faith was
reposed in the captains letter Of intro
duction. as IL may be termed. 1t was
agreed that Lieutenant Oakman should
take hi- departure on the morrow at
daylight.
Late that evening. when he bade his
friends good night and ascended to his
room, he had hardly locked his door be-
hind him when he caught sight OF q
folded piece Of paper lying on the stand,
with his name penciled on the outside.
He opened and read
