The Jews In History.
From tlis Pen end Plow.]
The Jew still walks the eivrth, and
bears the stamp of his race upon his
forehead. He Is still the same being
as when he first wandered forth from
the hills of Judea. If his name Is as
sociated with averloe and extortion,
and spoken of in bitterness and scorn,
yet in the morning of his history it
gathers round it recollections sacred
and holy.
The Jew is a miracle among the na
tions. A wanderer in all lands, he
has been a witness of the greater
events of history for more than 1,800
years. He saw classic Greece when
crowned with intellectual triumphs.
He lingered among that broken ar
chitecture, which rises like a tomb
stone over the grave of her departed
splendor.
The Jews saw Rome, the “mighty
heart” of nations, sending its own
ceaseless life’s throb through all the
arteries of its vast empire. He, too,
has seen that heart oold and still in
death. These have perished, yet the
Jew lives on—the same silent, mys
terous, indestructible being. The
shadow of the Crescent rests on Pal
estine, the signet of a conqueror’s
faith-still the Jew and bis religion
survive. He wanders a captive in
the streets of his own once queenly
Jerusalem, to meditate sad and
gloomily on the relies of ancient
power. Above him shines the clear
sky, fair as when it looked down on
the towers of Zion ; but now, alas!
beholds only a desolate city and an
unhappy land. The world is his
home. The literature of the ancient
Hebrew triumphs ovor all creeds and
schools aud sects. Mankind worship
in the sacred songs of David, and
bow to the divine teachings of Jesus
of Nazareth, who also was a son of
Abraham. Such is the Jew. How
seldom do we realize, as we see him
in our city streets, that he is the crea
ture of such a stiange, peculiar des
tiny. Neither age, nor country, nor
climate have changed him. Such is
the Jew, a strange and solitary being,
and such the drama of his long and
mournful history.
Condition of the Cahorliis Clause* In
France.
At the Labor Congress recently held in
Paris, some startling statements as to the
condition of the laboring classes were
made by the delegates who took part in
the debates. One representative from
Roubaix stated that Go per cent, of his
c mstituents on earned $3 per week.
Some who earned $4 or 5 had to work
much harder, and found their position
little improved, as their labor was not so
certain. Great complaints were made of
the oppression and dishonesty of employ
ers, who were accused of taking advan
tage of dull times to put wages down
to starvation prices. The workmen, to
get even produced poor work, and sacri
ficed quality to quautity. The revelations
concerning womens work were eyen more
melancholy. It was shown that the com
petition of convent and prison labor
reduced women's labor to the merest pit
tance. Work lor which fourteen francs
is paid to a workman is done in convents
for four francs. The convents receive
large quantities of work from the large
shops, and in some instances take in wash
ing. Women who work sewing-machines
are required to labor ten or twelve hours
dailey, though the unhealthfulness of
more than six hours machine work per
day is well understood, and terrible pis
eases are contracted in consequence. The
delegates present at the congress repre
sented a million working men and wo
man. It was proposed to found
a united syndicate for all France, hav
ing its headquarters at Paris, with the
object of bettering the condition ef the
employed.

Hr. Schenek’s Pulmonic Add,
Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills—
These medicines have undoubtedly per
formed more cures of consumption than
any other remedy known to the Ameri
can public. They are compounded of
vegetable ingredients,and contain nothing
which can be injurious to the human con
stitution. Other remedies advertised as
cures for consumption, probably contain
opium, which is a somewhat dangerous
drug in all cases, and if token freely by
consumptive patients, it must do great
injury; for its tendency is to confine tho
morbid matter in the system, which, of
course, must make a euro impossible.
Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup is warranted
not to contain a particle of opium; it is
composed of powerful but harmless herbs,
which act on the lungs, liver, stomach,
and blood, and thus correct all morbid
secretions, and expel all the diseased mat
ter from the body. These are the only
moans by which consumption can be
cured, and as Bchenck’s Pulmonic Syrup,
Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are
the only medicines which operate in this
way, it is obvious they are the only gen
uine cure for Pulmonary Consumption.
Each bottle of this invaluable medicine is
accompanied by full directions. Dr.
Schenck is professionally at his principal
office, corner Sixth and Arch Streets,
Philadelphia, every Monday, where all
letters for advice must be addressed.
