The jews IN RoME.-Among the con-
sequences Of the annexation of the
Papal territory to the Kingdom of Italy
is the elevation of the Jews to the rank
of citizens. BY a decree of Victor
Emanuel, all the inhabitants of this ter
ritory are now placed on an equality
with his other subjects, and this has
liberated the Jews from the expressions
to which. they have always been sub
jected in the Papal capital. They were
brought there in great numbers after
the destruction of Jerusalem, in the
days of the ancient Roman empire, and
when the ascendency of the church
begun, they were subjected to the most
stringent regulations and the severest
privations. They have still, however,
remained in the city, and in many in
stances have become rich and prosper
GUS, though they have generally pre-
sented the outward appearance only of
poverty and wretchedness. They were
compelled to live in a quarter of the
city specially designated for them, and
were locked up by the police in their in
closure every night. They were long
deprived of nearly every civil right, and
were for the most part left to be visited
with every sort of cruelty which Chris
tians might choose to practice upon
them. Their only security for centuries
consisted in avoiding the notice alike of
the authorities and of the people of the

DEATH FROM LovB.-The, city of Ham


ilton Ohio, was recently thrown into


quite,a commotion over the suicide of a
young man named A. Hagerman, a


brother-in-law =. of John B. Cornell,
Cashier of the First National Bank of


that city. Being engaged in no active


business, he has spent much of his time


in the bank AT about 10 o'clock he
went into the bank-room in apparently


the best of spirits, and, walking behind
the counter, picked up a revolver that
lay in one of the drawers and seated


himself in chair Immediately behind


the bookkeeper, who was at his desk.


Unbottoning his vest, he placed the
muzzle of the revolver to his bosom,
fired, and fell a corpse into the arms of
Peter Murphy, who rushed to his assist
ance. We0have been unable to learn
the cause, although it is2said that5alady-
is, concerned in the case; and thatit is
another case of death from love, Hager-
man was engaged to be married to a
young lady of Hamilton in couple Of
weeks. She tainted away almost as life
less as her dead lover on hearing of his
tragic end Financial matters, and his
inability to keep up with the styles of
the day at so important a period of his
life, are said to have SO preyed upon his
mind as to bring on the insane disease
which caused him to put an end to his
existence. -

j. M. Henri Rochefort, in a preface to
his new edition of the Ldnter7,e, says


that on re-perusing the lines written in
a foreign land before publishing them
in his own country, he has to beg par
don of the public for the moderation
withEwhich he spoke of the Imperial
regime. I" ! have just re-read the proofs
of my pamphlet; l compare it with the


horrors through which the empire has
compelled us to pass, with the end to
which it has led us, and I know not
how to excuse, myself for being so
mild.' Further on he says: " 1 trust
no one will suppose that am seeking
by their reissue an easy opportunity of
proving myself to be right in spite of
the years of prison and the thousands
of francs in fines which so often proved
me to be wrong. 1 make no merit of
my second sight. There are but three
ways in which fallen empires can sink
military revolution, an insurrection of
the people, foreign invasion. To
prophesy all three was enough to secure
the Certainty of not being far wrong.
NapaleonJ with his usual foresight, chose
the third. The worst for us, but de
cidedly the best for him." s-

AN INCIDENT OF LOUIS INAPoLEoNis S
BoYHooD.-Max Ring, the German au-
thor, has published new book, en-
titled I" Louis Napoleon Bonaparte," in
which he gives the following anecdote
of the early years of the ex-Emperor ::
When a very little fellow, he used to
pass, on his way to school, a blacksmith
shop, around which he sometimes lott
cred. One day he made the discovery
that the blacksmith was in the habit of
lighting his pipe with a long rod of iron,
and, watching for favorable opportu-
nifty, he drew the rod out of the fire and
replaced it with the hot end left stick
ing out, so that when the smith re-
turned in few seconds after a tenn
porary absence, and, unconscious of the
change, took hold of the rod to draw it
out of the fire, to light his pipe as usual,
he burned his hand badly. His excla-
nation of pain and surprise was re-
sponded to by a-burst of uncomfortable
laughter from the irrepressible Louis,
who had hidden himself away some
where to enjoy the success of his nice
little practical joke. and who thus, de
spite of himself, had revealed his secret
and his hiding place. The consequence
was that he received the best beating
that he probably ever got in his life tSe-
dan excepted) from the old smith,
whose name was Mayer, and who is still
living and well to do near Elbing.

RATE OF Nervous ExcITATIoS,--Pr
Helmholtz announces, as the result OF
some recent experiments made by ID.
Baxt, that the rate at which excitation
is propagated along the motor nerves in

yards per second, and that the raploity
Is greater in summer than in winter.
BY the artificial cooling OF warming Of

hugged her every night for several
months, and Sunday nights until 2

Now that the subject of building
narrow instead of broad guage rail
ways is Of 50 much interest both
generally and locally, we clip and
commend the following from theErie
Republican:


There is q good deal of talk in
Buffalo about building a narrow
guage railroad from that CITY to
Springville, a town some thirty miles
southeast We also notice that a pro-
position is agitated in this State to
build one of the same kind from Al
lentown via Reading toHarrisburgh.
The narrow guage is two feet six
inches between the rails. They have
been very successful in Europe.
They are used for carrying local
.freights and passengers. The cost
of construction and equipment of
such a road is said to be oly one
third as much as the wide guage.
The speed on these roads is from 20





to 20 miles an hour, and freight can
be carried at one per cent. per ton
per mile and yield a handsome reven-
ue upon the investment. These
roads are used extensively in Wales
and in many places on the continent,
in Australia and in Canada. In the
latter place they are now building q
road of this kind 120 miles long. The
Pacific Pailroad Company are EN-
plOyed ii building one at distance
of 80 miles as a tributary to their
main road. The advantages of the
road are that the grades are material
and the curves no obstacle, as the
cars are short and the guage only
two feet six inches or three feet,
whilst the locomotive weighs from
eight to twelve tons. The passenger
cars are built for twelve passengers,
six on side, and it is said that
there is scarcely any oscillation, and
riding upon the road is much more
pleasant and comfortable than on
the wide guage roads; and besides
the former will be much chea
per and the cost Of transportation
only one third of the present railway
fares and freights.

If three men were to have their
legs and arms broken, and were to
remain all night exposed to the in
clemency of the weather, the whole
country would be in state of the
most dreadful agitation. Look at
the wholesale deaths on the field of
battle, ten acres covered with dead,
and half dead, and dying; and the
shrieks and agonies of many thous-
and human beings. There is more
of misery inflicted on mankind by
one year Of war than by all the civil
peeulations and aggressions ola cen
tury. Yet it is a state into which
the mass of mankind rush with the
greatest avidity, hailing official muir
derers in scarlet and gold, and cocks
feathers, as the greatest and most
glorious of human creatures. 1t is
the business Of every wise and good
man to set himself against his pas
sion for military glory, which really
seems the most fruitful source of
human misery.

A gentleman was heard, yester-
day, remarking to friend who lay
upon a sofa and was shivering, that
he had "better put a newspaper over
his body and get warm" Tie re-
mark was made in a jocular manner,
yet it is fact that persons lying
down in a room where the tempera-
ture is not over 60 degrees can keep
warm by spreading a single news
paper over themseles. Another place
in which the same article may be
used to good advantage for the same
purpose is in a railway car. By lay
ing a newspaper over the shoulder
and arm next to the car windows,
through the crevices of which cold
air forces itself, to the discomfort of
passengers, all its injuriousnes COM
ing in the shape Of coughs and colds,
may be obyiated. The single sheet
of paper will keep out the cold as
effectually as would heavy blanket.
1t is said that a newspaper or two
laid between the sheets and cover
lids of bed viii add much to the
warmth of the sleeper, or rather will
prevent the warmth of the body from
escaping. All this may seem strange
but a trial will prove its correctness.
At least such assurance is given by
those who tested the matter.

while the balance has gone TO the sup
port Of the existing hospital and in
payment OF the salaries Of the medi-
cal eXaminers-$2j00 to each. It is
intended to make the new system Of
the regulation Of prostitution self
supporting; no money taken from the
women goes to the general fund Of the
city, and none is taken from it for
their use. The keeper Of each house
Of ill-fame pays $40 a month for the
support Of the system, and each in
mate pays S. per month. As there
are about one hundred and fftv such
houses, and five hundred inmates at

about $500 for each month.
