We will now speak of Esau and Jacob: they being twins; Esau was the older son, and was, by the customs of that day, entitled to the headship of their father’s family at his death; but the older must serve the younger in this ca'se, though Isaac did not fully understand the arrangement for deceiving him concerning the blessings when due to be-grauted; yet afterwards, was fully aware of his apparent mistake, but did not offer to correct it, believing that the blessings were as the Lord would have it. Jacob proposes to Esau, that for a feast of pottage, or, of what Jacob had cooked in- a pot, Esau should grout that Jacob have the birth-right, or headship of the family, and it was,done. Esau' ever remained in Canaan with the descendants of his half uncle Ishimael, son of Hagar, ah Egyptian. Ishmael had at this time begotten the 18 tribes of Ites, Lites, Vites etc.;and jshmael died in 2171 A. M. Esau became very rich, and honored by the in dwelling kings of Canaan, but his death is not known. Jacob, feariugjharm from Esau because of the birthright, goes to his uncle Laban’s this year, 2181. In 2188 Jacob married Leah, La ban’s elder daughter; in 2195 he married Rachael; Laban gave to his daughter Leah a handmaid, Zilpha, who is the mother of Ja cob’s 7th and 8th sons, Gad aiid Asher. Leah bears for Jacob 6 sons' and one daughter, whose nances are Beuben. Simeon, Levi, Juda, Issachar Zebulum and Di nah. .

Joseph was the 2nd highest in the Egyptian court for 80 years,to / his death in 2310. Now Joseph had gone to Egypt in 2217; Jacob and family, of them 75, went to Egypt in 2238, and dwelt in Go- jhen until the death of the king, when another king sat upon the throne. Joseph and the previous king now being dead, the present king now disregards the privileges enjoyed by the Hebrews and be gins to oppress them until their departure from Egypt in 2513; this departure is called the Exo dus. We will here speak of the oppression of Hebrews in Egypt: They, as a family of Jacob, dwelt peacefully in Goshen under Jo seph’s administration of 'state af fairs for 72 years, Joseph having been in office 8 years before Jacob came, wich gives the Hebrews 80 years rest in Egypt.

Senator Bailey has announced his intention of talking the treaty to death because he believes that it is unconstitutional in that it initiates tariff changes in the Senate and because he believes it will work a hardship to the sugar and tobacco producers of the south. It is quite obvious that most members on the republican side of the Senate are delighted with the set-back which the Attorney General has administered to the cause of anti-trust legislation. They have from the first desired medical to avoid all anti-trust legislation. Forced by the determined stand of the President and his announc ed purpose to call the next Con* grass in special session if nothing was accomplished at this session, the republican leaders consented to give the matter consideration, stipulating however that any measure which would pass tbe Senate must be extremely con servative, in other words, must prove innocuous to their favorite corporate interists. Now that a member of the Presieens’s Cabi net has taken ocnasian to hold up the measure and postpone its con sideration until a later date, the sentiment is growing that it will be possible to pass the matter over and then say to, Mr, Boose velt that he is responsible for the failure to legislate o.n the subject as earlier in the session the Senr ate was ready to give the matter due consideration. their Houston friends.
