The Jews of Rome; The correspondent of the New York Time writes as fojlows from Rome: One who stays Jong enough Jn Rome to see at leisure all that is most interesting, should not fail to make a visit to the Ghet to, or Jews’ Quarter, on the side of the Ti ber opposite the famous TrastevOrcDistiict. The Jewjsh pop'dahoii is not far froin‘soo,- 600, and the greater imrt of these s >ns of the house of Israel are crowded into tW narrow, dfjfk langs of the section of the city anciently assigned to them, or whjch .they have, mo-x.* recently voluntarily chosen fbf> their hofne. It is a fitting nest, and dirty and disgusting as Rome formerly was in many parts, no p.-iB was equal to this in the squalid wretchedness whiyh it preacntQjl and still presents. The f*ppes did little or nothing to improve Ums condition of the Jews of Rome. On the contrary, the faißiftd were tadglit by example to beb'ev<- that it whs doin' God’s seivice to tiamp]c under foot and humiliate all the race de scended from those wlio took such an im portant part in the tragedy of. the #acrlfic« offhe Founder oi'rcllghm.

There is now an upper Ghetto, or sort of supplement to the oIS ode, and in this the better class of the disciples of Moses have their shops.- The famous Ceni Palace, as sociated with the memory of Beatrice, is in this quarter, and indeed, is now in great part occupied by the Jews. On the oppo site side ol the square is the Temple, in which good Israelites Olweive witli as much fidelity, the rights and d'utied of their reli gion as do any Romans, or other Christians, theirs. Behind tlx; Temple, down by the Tiber, is the real Jews’ quarter, the dirty cloaca in whkji the Pope thrust them as a punishment for the sins committed by their fathers nineteen centuries ago. It is the part of Rome first put under water by an overflow of the Tiber.

Oue of the conditions of a treaty with Mexico it i« said, was that any future war which might break out between the two countries should be conducted*on Christian principles. Now, we all know t?iat thia is an age of progrejw, and that all sorts of improvements are constantly taking place in all sorts of matters ; but war on Christian principles Is entirely the latest, and, if carried out, will we think, prove the greatest of them all. Just imagine it. We think we eftn see two armies drawn out in battle tury. A fttir field is before them-. The ranks are ftinned, the position taken, the great guns tin limbered. The General m just about to give the order to fire when an aid comes up and respectfully reminds him that the war is td be conducted on Christian principles, and it will not do to fire. “Very true, very true,” says the commander-iu chief; “but what are they ? I have rend Turenne, and Vnubat, and Scheiler. I have read the lives of did conquerors, and have studied the carhpaigns of the grcat^soldiers; but I have never happened to come Across those principles in any work upon the military art. Do you know anything about it, Co lonel !’’ ‘No. 1 ‘Nor you, Major ?’ ‘No.’ ‘Nor I either. I really don’t know how to begin. I suppose it would not do to shoot. Suppose we send for the Chaplain.’ The Chaplain arrives. ‘Do yon know anything about this fight ing on Christian principles ‘Oh, yes; it is the easiest thing (in the world? ‘Where are your books ?’ ‘Hereand the Chaplain takes out the Bible. ‘Rculfy,’ euys the General, *we ought to have thought of that before. It is a bad time to commence theutudy of tactics when the enemy is right before us; but I suppose we arc bound t>j* the treaty. What is tlie first thing, Mr. Chaplain ?’ ‘Thou shall not kill. Thoti slialt love thy neighbor as tliyself.’ ‘.But these are not neighbors. They are Mexicans. ‘The same book tells us, a little further on, that the opportunity to do good to a mau makes him our neigltboY.’ ‘Will you go on, Mr. Chaplain? ‘Love your enemies. Do good to them that hate you. Pray for them who des pitefully use you. If a man smite you on one cheek turu to him tlie other.” ‘But while we are praying for the Mexi cans; they will be firing into ua.’ ‘No; they are bound by the treaty also. It works both vrays.’. ‘Then what is the use of our arms’’ ‘This is also provided fbr in the same book. ‘Beat your swords into plowshares and your spears into pruning hooks.’ ’ ‘Then I do not see as there is anything for us to do here? ‘Nothing, unless you sc rid and ask the Mexican General if he needs anything in the way of medicines, or provisions, or any clothing, i rather think tho treaty requires this of us. And I doo’tknow but »e ought to send them a tew aciltcioliuasters, for I understand they area shoe kingly ignorant people.’ Recent Scientific Dbeaverles. t’rofesaor Albrecht Mueller, in an article in the Popular Science Monthly, proves conclusively, from an examination of re mains found in the upper Jajcrs of the Di luvium or Drift period, that the human be ings who juhabiled th© earth during that period auuk in barbarian), acme of them probably baiug cannibals. During the age of reindeers, as cue ol the division® >of the Diluvium is called, men lived in 'caves, or out of dooiy iu stations at the foot of she’tering cliffe. That the.clipt&te of Southern Europp was very, clear, proved by the remnants of northern fauna louna ‘ thtycp. Not a trace of the use of the metals : during this period has been discovered. ■ Knives, axes, ayd »p.aar-hbads were marie of stone and flmt.

Next come the bronze and iron age, dur ing which men learned the use of metals and which extend to, and in some countries overlap, the beginning of the historic peri od Our German scientist suggests that the present be called the age of paper, probably from the übiquitous newspaper. Upon second thought, and in view of the present prospects in Europe, he concludes that the age of steel would be a more ap propriate name. Religious Intolesancs.—lt’, has always been a mystery to us that any one set of Christians Should arrogate to themselves the exclusive prerogative of being correct. in matters of faith and religion. Yet it ia vary conrtnOft, and, even when not admitted, still gives signs ot life in the actions of the churches tovfard each Other, and still more among the individual members. That one person should be a Methodist, another a Baptist and another a Presbyterian, is as natnraFns that persons should differ upon > questions of politics, law, scienco.or politi cal economy. It is all owing to the cast of one’s mind. It is Into that circumstances, such aS association, family ties, accessibility of churches, etc., sometimes influence per sons to join a particular denotnuMXion, but this tact does not necessarily mske them befive ali that is taught by its rituill or con fession of faith ; so tbaUwe find Methodists in the PresbyteriaWchufrch,' Baptists in the Methodist chinch, and so on? through the whole list. < Very few persons think for themselves, but are Coutent to accept as the truth that which is taught them. But when you find a person who really has a mind of his own, one sidled in phrenology and physiognomy can refcdily indicate his religious tendencies While all admit the great fundamental principles of religion, they differ upon mi nor points, in themselves not essential, yet marking sufficient distinctions to necessi tate different societies or churches; Thus, white alllare right, yot all pursue a different load to gain the desired end..

The' old lady retains all her simplicity and in nocence, and she doesn’t go two cents on stylo. The other evening, when a “splen did catch” called to escort the daughter to the opera, the mother wouldn’t take the? hint to keep still, and wouldn’t help to car ry out the daughter’s idea that they had wealth. While helping her daughter get ready she asked: ‘Mary, are you going to wear the shoes with one heel off, or the pair with holes ia 1 ’em ?’ Mary didn’t seem to hear, and the mother inquired : ‘Are you going to wear that dol lar gold chain and that wanked locket, or will you wear the diamond father bought ’at the hardware store?’ Macy winked at her and the young man” blushed, put the old lady went on: ‘Are you going to borrow Mrs. Brown’s shawl,’ or will you wear mine r Mary bustled around the room, and the mother said: ‘Be careful of your dress,* Mary. You know it’s the only one you’ve got, and you can’t have another until the mortgage on this place is lifted? Mary remarked to her escort that it prom ised to be a beautiful evening, and, as she buttoned her glove, her mother asked: ‘Those are Mrs. Hardy's gloves ain’t they ? She’s been a good neighbor to us, and I don’t know how you’d manage to go any where jf she didn’t live near us? Mary was hurrying to get out of the room when her mother raised her voice onco more and asked: ‘Did you run into Mra, Jewett’s and borrow her bracelet and fan? Yes, I see you did. Well, now, look real stylish, and I hope you’ll have a good time. Mary sits by her window in the pale moonlight, and sighs for the splendid young mau to come and beau her around soma more, but he hasn’t been up that way sinca* that night. The old lady, too, says that he seemed like a nice young man, and she hopes he hasn’t been killed by the street cars. —[Detroit Free Press. A Cheecful Home.—A single bitter word may disquiet an entire family for » whole day. One surly glauce caste a gloom over the household ; while a smile, like a gleam of sunshine, may light up the dark est and weariest hours.

No matter how hum-' ble the abode if it bo thus garnished with grn.ee .and sweetened with kindness and smib s, the heart will turn longingly toward it from all the tumults of the world, and a home If it be ever so humble, will be the - dearest spot beneath the circuit of the sun.'
