The Wnlllng of tho Jons In Jerusalem.
Tho Jows In Jerusalem liavo purchnscil
tho right of tho Turkish Government to
nssomblo ovory Friday altornoon near ono
of tho sides of tho Mosque of Omar, against
n supposed portion ot tholr ancient tem
ple, and there lament nnd weep over their
Ihllcn city and fhdod glories.
Mon, women nnd chlldrcu tbero nssom-
ble, nil coming with biblo In hand, nnd
dressed In tholr best suit. Tho men wear
a kind of long drcsslug-gowu made of
broadcloth or merino, or calico, of various
colors, having tho edges trimmed with for.
Tholr linlr Is cut short behind the cars, hut
hangs In long curls In front. Tho hotter
clnss of women nro clothed In whito dross
es nnd shawl. Ab they approach tho placo
of weeping they usually lean first, for a
short time, with tholr heads against tho
wall, but Boon begin to swing their bodies
back nnd forth, wringing their hands,
while a priest or patriarch lends off In
reading selections from the Phcophcts In
the most walling tones. At certain peri
ods all voices join In the cry, team run
ning down their faces, and they seem to
ho moved In tho most agonising -sorrow.
Old men and women wero there with
whitened locks and feeble steps, nud they
bowed and wept In dcopcst grief. Llttlo
children, too, wero there, their eyes mois
tened nnd voices trembling ns they joined
iu tho heart-touching lamentations.
No looker-on can doubt hut there Is sin-
corlty la this scrvico. Tho Jews fed that
Jehovah hears tholr cries and prayers, nnd
according to prophecy will restore to them,
iftcr long seasons of bitter ivallings, their
ost glories; gathering together all tho
scattered children of Israel, nnd hence
forth permit them to livo and dio In tho
Holy City, nnd be but led among the graves
of tnoir lathers. This practice Is said to
have continued from the tivolllh century,
nnd perhaps from an earlier period. Bj
tho Emperor Adrln tho Jews wore driven
from tho city. During tho reign of Con
stantine they worn allowed to npnronch
only near enough to see it: hut they at
length succeeded in purchasing the privil
ege of entering it oncoa year to wcop, and
at present they are allowed this privilege
every Friday,
General I.cboctirs Aasurnnecs.
With all tho glaring Incidents of mal
administration In Franco under the Em
pire, it has been often wondered why tho
Emperor went to war with a nation so
completely prepared as Prussia. It seems
that even tho French legislative body was
completely deceived by Marshal Lobtouf,
if the following conversation Is true,
which, according to a Paris correspondent
of tho New York Times, is certified by
good authority, nnd took place In tho
committee room before the declaration of

Betting Extraordinary.
The Now York Star, in an nrtlclo on
betting, relates tho following:
A distinguished physician was called to
attend an inveterate bettor, who was at
tacked with a sudden and dangerous Ill
ness. After a careful diagnosis, the doc
tor assured him that his condition was ex
tremely critical, and his chaneCs of recov
ery doubtflil. Thereat tho patient rallied
Bomewhat, and tho following colloquy en
sued:
‘I’ll hot you a hundred dollars, Doctor,
that I don’t dlo.”
“My dear sir, you may not; but I think
It proper to advise yon that, in my opin
ion, you will.”
“Woll, Doctor, If I die, will I goto
heaven?”
“I hope so, sir.”
“Will I bo an angel?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Will I have wings?”
“I presume so, sir.”
“Woll, now Doctor, when you dlo will
you go to heaven nnd bo an angel?”
“Itrustso, sir.”
“And will you have wings too?”
“Yes, I suppose I will.”
“Well, then, Doctor, I'll bet you ahun-
dred dollars I will out-lly you.”
Tho man died, but the Doctor, who hits'
not yet taken the bet, still lives.

t’olfnx nud tlio Public Debt.
The fact has already been stated that
the Radical lenders, from Vico President
Colfax down, havo made unusual demands
upon tho departments for figures to bo
used in tho campaign to prove a vast re
duction of tho debt and a faithful collec
tion of tho revemlo under President
Grant’s administration. In order to sup
ply tho demand for this Information,
which is always distorted to suit Republi
can views, extra clerks have been sot to
work, and tho Treasury Dopartmet clerks
arc compelled to workat night. .lint not
satisfied with legitimate rolorinntion, tho
llndlcnl leaders seem to bo dcsiiernte, and
are seeking to mako a favorable financial
oxtaibit by resorting to sources not though t
of hitherto. The other day Mr. Coflax
wrote to Assistant Secretary Hiclmrdson,
and asked for a statement of tlio receipts
from tho sales of government vessels,
stores, ordnnnco stores, quartermaster’s
stores, etc., slneo the beginning of Presi
dent Grant’s administration. Theso
things have all been sold because tho gov
ernment lind no further uso for them, nnd
will, when aggregated, amount to between
twenty nml .thirty millions of dollars.—
Yet Mr. Colfax and his party friends pro-
G oso to add them to tho net receipts of
le government, and to argue thorefrom
a more thorough and efficient collection
of tho revenue during this administra
tion than under Mr. Johnson’s. In or
der to supply this information within tho
time indicated by Mr. Colfax, an addition
al force of clerks has been put in the
Quartermaster’s Department, nnd they
are kept at work nigh t and day. Of course
It was never a part of tho plan to specify
tho items from which theso receipts were
drawn.—Correspondence Courier-Journal,
ran i
Tho Ilaltimoro Gazette's Washington
correspondent says:
“In frequent conversations, in tho Inst
month, with intcIligcntGornmnsfromBa
varia, Baden, Wurtembure, in short,
from all tho southern provinces of Germa
ny, I find that tho judgment of theso gen
tlemen Is utterly opposed to ‘Republican
ism,’ out and out. They point pointedly
to tlio fact that wo—tho ‘model Republic’
—nro, at this moment, tho most tax-rid
den, tho most pusillanimous, tho most
subservient, and tho veriest cowards upon
tho face of tho earth I That we have a
constitution which puts down in black
and white tho rights of States and indi
viduals, yet wo submit, without a mur
mur, to their capricious overthrow, not
cn masse, but as may suit tho purposes of
tho parties in power, nnd who wo know to
ho tne veriest wretches that over lorded it
over any people on tho globol”

Tools Tor the Hoys.
Many boys are driven away from learn
ing useful trades, nnd gravitate into tho
useless life of measuring ribbons and la
ces, because they have had, during boy
hood’s first desires, no toolB to employ
their hands with in idle hours. Many
would retain tastes half formed if sonio
such means wore employed to fasten Ills
attention upon them, nnd turn his mind
in such a chunncl. Every man who can
afford it should supply his hoys with tools,
and p, room where they may bo used and
cared for. A boy takes to tools as natu
rally ns to green apples, or surreptitious
nnd fovbidden amusements; and if he has
a chance to develop his mechanical tastes
nnd gratify them to their fullest extent
his tcndences to vicious courses will also
rcmnln undeveloped. Such a result is
cuough to compensate for all tho exponso
nnd trouble tho indulgence we recommend
would entail; while the chances that tho
early development of his constructive fnc-
ultieBniny, in this mechanical age J)o tlio
means by which ho may ultimately climb
to fame and fortune arc not small.
NnlrlUo ofn Prominent Women’s Rights
Agitator*
Mrs. Mary II. McDonald, woll known
in tho woman’s rights agitation, commit
ted deliberate suicide at her residence in
Mount Yornon, New York, recently.—
The reasons were found In her own hand
writing. A verdict of insanity was re
turned by tho coroner’s jury. Her last
letter is as follows:
Noon.—My own Dear Husband: I feel
that only my death can hinko you ft-ce,
and I pray most earnestly that you aud
our dear son Walter may both bo happy.
I regret to causo my dear nnd aged
mother another pang of sorrow, and my
love abides with all.
As I am now about to enter upon eter
nity, I wish to assure you rcneivedly that
my married life has been good, nnd pure,
and true to you. Had wo understoortcach
other better, ivc should have been happier,
It is now too late. Let mo be buried qui
etly, close to the right hand of our darling
Warren.
I long to embrace you and our dear Wal
ter once more. May God help you both
now and evermore, is tlio prayer of your
dying wife, M. II. McDonald.
I die a firm bolievcr in the Christian re
ligion, nnd hoping for a resurrection in
tho Inst dny with ull those who may be
deemed worthy of eternal lifo.

Too Poor.
Brother Moore, of the Rural New York
er, was sitting in his ofllco ono afternoon
somo years ago, when a farmer friend camo
in and said:
‘Friend Moore, I like your paper, hut
times are so hard I cannot pay for it. ’
‘Is that so, friend Jones? I’m very sor
ry to hear that you nro so poor, nnd if you
are really so hard run, I will givo you iny
paper.’
'Oh, no, I can’t take It ns a gift.
Well, then, let’s seo how we can (lx it,
Yon raise chickens, I believe?’
‘Yes, n few, but they don’t bring any
thing hardly,’
‘Don’t they? Neither docs my paper
cost anything hardly. Now, I havo n
proposition to mako to you: I will contin
ue your paper, and when you go homo you
may select from your lot ono hen nnd call
her mine. Take good care of her nnd
bring mo the proceeds, whether in eggs or
chickens, and wo will call it square.’
‘All right, brother Moore,’ and tho old
fellow chuckled at wlint ho thought a cap
ital bargain. Ho kopt tho coutrnctstrict-
ly, nnd at tho end of tlio year he found
tlint ho had paid about four prices for his
paper.
Ho often tells tho joke on himself, and
says ho never has had tho fuco to say ho
wns too poor to take a paper since that
day.—Farmer 16 l‘lan ter.
Horrors of IVsr.
The peoplcof Franco arorenllzingsomo-
thing of tho horrors endured by tho South*
cm people for four long years. A late
copy of tho Journal of Nancy says: “That
which wounds us much more than nil else
is the condition oftlio unfortunate farmers,
dwellers in our country. Our tears flow
nt tho sight or tho long lines of wagons
laden with oats nnd liny, nnd provisions
of every kind, to bo given over to tho Prus
sian army. Tho lino horses which were
to prepare tlio cnrtli for tho seed of tho
future harvest havo been harnessed to
Prussian cannon. Sinco everything is
scattered and destroyed on this day after
the harvest, it equally follows that re
markable barrenness of tlio country must
ensile. Tho difficulties of tho entire yenr
nro crowded Into one moment. Tlio fuhl
Is complete and unspeakable. Long years
will be necessary to repair tho damages of
thesofew days of invasion.”
Tho Social Evil Licensed.
St. Louis has done that which no other
city, wo believe, in tho United States, has
yet dared to do. It has licensed “the so
cial evil” by a municpal ordinance.—
Houses of llffamo nnd tholr Inmates are
registered nnd charged a liconBe fee. Tho
parties thus registered, It Is said, express
no objection lo the registration nnd the
sanitary regulations Imposed upon them.
As many ns eight hundred of tho ilymphs
have nlrcady been enrolled.
Not n Bad Idea.
No political conventions are to bo held
in Alton, Illinois, to nominate candidates
for tho coming city election. Every per
son who desires an ofllco is to ruu on his
own individual merits.—Ex.
The French Itopnhllr.
The New York Herald aud somo other
leading journals don’t scorn to think that
tho Itepubllo Just set up in Franca is like
ly to stand long. Tho paper named
says:
What will tho Republic do for Franco?
It cannot stop tho Prussians. Even If tho
namo of tho Republic could movo Franca
to such efforts ns tlioso she onco made
ngntnst combined Europo, It would not
help hor; for tho Prussians now hold her
with a forcocqunl to that which won tho
bnttlo of Lclpslc; they nip in numbers
against which Franco could not success
fully struggle, even under tho greatest of
all her soldiers. Although Franco could
rovlvo tho fUrlous ardor of otlior days it
would not avail, nnd wo need hardly sny
that bIio cannot; for this Is a republic of
very different mottlo from that which
stirred tho world In tho last century.—
Jules Fnvro Is uq doubt a man of rcspcc-
tablo talent and moral courage; hut so
much cannot with any certainty bo said
of any other man named in the provision
al government. All tho rest are of tho
temper of Gnmbotta nnd Korntry, who
liavo given thdir own mensuro in tho style
of tho opposition they conducted In tho
Gorps Legislatin'— an opjiosltion pitiful
In Its alms nud contemptible in its uttcr-
nncc. They are the smallest sort of dem
agogues. From such men Franco cannot
effect much, for there Is not much in them.
Sho will bo happy if they do not botrny
her, nnd, instead of organizing that re
sistance which tho nation expects, mnkc
any terms with the enemy, however, bu-
mllitntlng, that will lenvo them In a posi
tion to gratify their lust of power.
A Conslitornto Dutchman.
A thin, cadaverous looking Gorman,
about fifty years of ago, entered tho office
of a health Insurance company In Phila
delphia the other day and inquired: “Ish
do man in what insures do peeplo’s holts?”
Tho agent politely answered; “I attend
to tlint business, sir.” “Veil I vants my
holts insured. Vot you chnrgo?” “Dif
ferent prices,” answered tho agent; “from
three to ten dollars a year, and you got
ten dollars a week in case of Bickncss.”—
“Voll I ish sick all the time. I’so shust
out of bod two or tlu-co houre a dny, nnd
tho doctor says ho can’t do nothing more
;oot for me, ” “If that's the state of your
icalth,” returned tho agent, “wo ennnot
insure It. Wo only Insure those persous
who are iu good health. ” At this Mynecr
bristled up In great anger. ‘-‘You must

A “Frntcr.nnr’ Greeting.
Hon. A. II. Stephens having been invi
ted to deliver the opening address at an
Agricultural Fair soon to uo hold nt Nor
ristown, Pennsylvania, tho Philadelphia
Evening Bulletin, ono of tho very shrill
est shriekersfor “loyalty,’’and tho divine
right of tho Radlenl party to an unlimited
stealage, calls for a ‘loyal” mob, in tlio
event of Ids ncceptanco, to drlvo him from
tho stand. “If Sir. .Stephens nccepts the
Invitation, nnd undertakes, to spenk nt
Norristown,” says that paper, “ivo hope
loyal people will either havo nothing todo
with tho onterpriso, or will attend nud
hoot tho speakor from tho stand.”
This, wo suppose, is wlint that crowd
calls “making treason odious.” Wo no-
tlco that tho dose is too strong even far
Forney’s seasoned stomach, and ho mild
ly rebukes the Bulletin for Its “blunder.”
The empress Joaeiililuo nml her Moth,
cr-s It I HR.
The Empress Josephine, one of tho
most amiable andgmeoful women that
ever existed, passed more than a year at
Saiuto Pclngio nnd Luxemburg. Shobo-
enmo tho wife of Napoleon I. on tho 8th
of March, 1700. Their first residence, af
ter ho wns promoted to tlio Consulship,
was the llttlo Luxemburg. It is related
of berthntono morning there wnsaetron-
gcr clinrm of her grace, beauty nnd inno
cent coquotry about hor than usual, tho
object being to induce the First Consul to
visit the coil which sho had formerly occu
pied at the Luxemburg. Bonaparte folt
Uo pleasure in tho proposal, hut will ho,
nil! he, there wns but one thing to bo done
—obey. When they arrived at tho poor
chnmhcr, Josephine soemod much affect-'
cd. Sho went to n corner, knelt down
and endeavored to loosen a (lag. “Lend
mo your sword, my friend,” said sho to
iicr husband, nnd with its aid sho lifted
the little flag. Sho then beenn to Bcnrch
in the dust underneath, and tlio next, mo
ment sho uttered a cry of joy nnd held up
a ring toward Napoleon. IIo was all In
quisitiveness about it, nnd soon lenrnod
that tt.Und been given to her by her moth
er. When she learned that sho was to bo
removed from tho prison, sho wns uncer
tain whether she was to ho executed or
not, ami so sho lmd burled the denr'koep-
sakc, that it might not bo profaned by the
hands of tlio executioner.—Dublin Uni
versity Magazine.
Nympnthy with tho Now Roimblle.
It is n noteworthy fact, that public son-
timent throughout the couniry has veered
round in favor of Franco sinco the latter
countrv has become a Republic. The
tono of some of the most influential news
papers has been modified, or completely
chnngod, since tho Empire line bwbhioa
thing of tho past. The Now York Sun,
heretofore a most outspoken parlisitii-of'
tho Prussian cause, suddenly ehnngcs'lts
tune, and now hones that t|io soldiers of
tho young Republic will bo able to hurl
the invaders lrom the soil of France. And
so of other exponents of public opinion.
There is no question that, if tho war goes
on, the Republic will have ten times the
moral support than was accorded to the
Empire. Who knows but such support
may soon develop into something more
substantial. _
Fate of the “CAptAln.”
The terrible disaster which has befal
len tho British iron-plated war steamer
Captain off Capo Fiuistcrrc on tlio coast
of France, is another warning of tlio fate
that mcuaccs tho heavier class of iron clad
vessels at sea. Tho Captain enrried nil
hands, five hundred in number, down iu-
to tlio .deep without hope or elmneo of res
cue. It lias been frequently hinted with
regard to this peculiar style of naval con
structions that, if overtaken by a great
mishap on tho high seas, all on board of
them must certainly perish, sinco they
are tightly shut up inside of their iron
prison with no chance to escape, and there
are lew or no boats that can bo made
available speedily enough to savo them.
Ono headlong plungo, a sweeping rush of
water that penetrates from above to jho
lower decks inside and swamps them, and
tho story is told. Down goes tlio ship
with her living freight, almost before the
men liavo time to bo aware of their dread
ful doom. So sudden and terrible a ca
tastrophe is terrible to contemplate.—Nl

A pious old negro woman was caught
by her master stealing a goose; and tlio
next Sunday sho partook of tho commu
nion, nfter which her master accosted her
ns follows;
“Why, Hannah, I sawxyou to-day at

“Yes, tank, dc Lord, I wns ’lowed to be

“But, Hnminli, I wns surprised to seo

She looked a llttlo surprised as if she

About Flies.
Wo find the following in nn exchange
It is not nuw, but may nevertheless be in
teresting to those who did not k’.io.w it bo-
forc: Tlio naturalist recognizes many
hundred kinds of flies in this country; but
in our household economy wo reduce
tliom mainly to three sorts—hcusing-flles,
biting-flies, nnd bluo-bottlo or blow-files.
The latter is readily distinguished; tho
two former nro frequently confounded, al
though easily known npart by tho natu
ralist or nn acute observer. Tlioy limy,
howover, always bo identified at a glance
by the position they nssumo on a wall. vA
common house-fly almost invnrinbly rests
with his head downward, and however it
may light works, its wav'round until this
direction is assumed. The biting-flics,
on tho contrary, ns universally rest with
the head pointing upward, noting 111 this
respect precisely liko tho equally blood
thirsty mosquito: Tho brother of nn on;.
iucntliiissian.entomologlst, now residing
iu the United States, observed a peasant
in his own country killiug some of tho files
on a wall of his hut without disturbing
others; nml, on being questioned, ho gave
ns a reason tlint those with the heads up
wero “biters,”.nnd tlio others wore not.—

Tho Now York Express, in commenting

R. E, Lee in tho followiugcomplhnoutary
manner:
Wo can only infer what might be done
from wlint really was dono during our
own rebellion. The Confederate General
Loo, with a lmlf-naked, half-starved army,
of remains of an nrmy, of Somo forty or
fifty thousand men, we all know, held
General Grant.at bay before Richmond
for some six months, with 200,000 men,
more or less, nnd only surrendered when
the commissariat had distributed tho Inst
crust and tho last ounce of powder. If

"Although tho. Germans are not con
