THE JEW IX H.0BXR2I HISTORY."
BT I. COHUf .
The following lecture was delivered
before the Young Men's Hebrew Associ
ation at Portland, Or., November 14,
by Benj. I, Cohen: Spain, the Sunny
. home of the olive aad the vine, was the
chosen abode of Israel's wanderers, long
re the gates of Cents, opened to admit
the Moorish oonq uerors. And above all,
in Southern Spain had they become the
favorites of fortune, where being the
principal cultivators of the soil, they had
aroused the jealousy and excited the cu
pidity of the Goths, who attempted by a
series of barbarioua decrees, to drive
them from the land which their industry
and intelligence had made to blossom as
the rose. The Jewish population
of Spain, ' of ' Arab . descent,
turned ia this dark' hour,
an appealing glance to their brethren of
the C re ent, whose banners could be
wa&. to ware and the sound of whose
Teobir war' cry eould almost be heard
across the narrow strait which separates
Spain from Africa. 'The overthrow of
the Gothic Kings was as much achieved
by the superior information which the
- Saracens received from their suffering
kinsmen as by the resistless valor of the
desert. And then shone the dawn of
a Glorious day for Israel's race. Hand
in hand, and heart to heart, with their
Moorish friends, they mounted the lad
der of fame. Both alike reared fair
palaces and filled the highest offices of
state. Aneieaaing pnysioians were jews,
and irrave professors cast abroad the
dazzling light of secular science, min
gled with the lucent rays of Talumdical
lore. An extensive and enlighted com-

'While noble universities flourished for
the benefit of their favored youth. Long
after the fall of toe Moo run Kingdoms,
the Jews still flourished in Spain, until
the increasing strength of the Qoths
brought with it increase of persecution.
Gradually the Jews were deprived of
their privileges, or lorcea to an
outward eomplianoe with the Cath
olio faith under the . title of
Auevo Christians. At length the rise
of Ferdinand and Isabella, and the intro
duction of the fatal Inquisition, sealed
their fate. This moral Upas tree first
unfolded its leaves at Seville, and three

blood of the ohildren of the Sun. Fer
dinand, in a spirit of madness, the evil
effects of which are felt in Spain to this
' day, determined that its delicious air
should no longer be breathed by any who
. did not profess Catholicism. Baptism
or exile were the alternatives. More
thai 600.000 of the moat industrious, the
most intelligent, and most enlightened of
Spanish subjects, clinging to
J the faith of their fathers, re
signed the delighftul land where
in they had resided for centuries,
the beautiful cities they had raised, the
universities from which Christendom
drew for aires its most precious lore, the
tombs of their ancestors and the temples
. where they had worshiped the God for
' . whom they made this sacrifice. They
had but four months to prepare for
eternal exile, after a residence of as many
centuries, during which brief period
forced sales and glutted markets vir
tually confiscated their property. It is a
calamity which the scattered people still
ranks- with the desolation oi jNeoucnaa
neczar and. of Titus. Who, after this,
should say that the Jews are by nature
A SORDID PKOPIiS.
But the Spanish Goth, then so cruel and
to haughty, where is he? A despised
suppliant to the very race wbion lie Dan

treasure which their habits of industry
have again accumulated. Where is that

Of that large portion of its subjects,
the most industrious and intelligent,
- who traced their origin to the Mosaic
and Mohammedan Arabs." Many, if not
the greater portion of these hapless ex
iles, sought and found a safe asylum in
free Saxon England, where, as in all
. other parts of Europe, their progress,
though silent and slow, was onward ever
and upward. Leaping now the gulf of
time until we arrive at the early part of
the 19th eentury, we find their then oon
... dition thus portrayed in the glowing
Orientalism of Disraeli: "You never
observe a great intellectual movement in
' Europe in which the Jews do not largely
participate. The first Jesuits were Jews;
. that mysterious Russian diplomacy
which so alarms Western Europe is or
' ganized and principally carried on by
. Jews; that mighty revolution whioh is at
this moment preparing in Germany, is
entirely developing under the auspices
of Jews, who almost monopolize the pro
fessorial chairs of Germany. Neander

And who is Begins Professor of Divinity
in the University oi .Berlin, is a Jew.
. Senary, equally famous in the same
University, is a Jew. Wehl the Arabic,
Professor of Hidelberg, is a Jew, the first
Arabio scholar of the day and author of
the life of Mahomet. A few years ago
we were applied to by Bussia for a loan.
I resolved to go myself to St. Peters
burgh. I had aa interview on my ar
rival with the Russian Minister of
Finance, Count Canerin. I beheld the
- son of a Lithuanian Jew. The loan was
connected with the affairs of Spain. I
repaired thither in the person of the
Spanish Minister, Senor Mendizabel; I
beheld one like myself, the son of a
Husvo ChritHano, a Jew of Arragon.
From Madrid I went to Paris to consult
the President of the French Council; I
beheld the son of a French Jew, a hero,
an Imperial Marshal, and very property
ao, for who should be military heroes, if
not those who worship the Lord of Hosts.
And is Soutt a Hebrew? Yes, and oth
ers of the French Marshals, and the most
. famous; Massena for example; his real
name was Manasaeh; but to my anecdote.
. The consequence of our consultations
was, that some northern power should

capacity. We fixed on Prussia; and the

which American history takes cogniz
ance, the free exercise and enjoyment
of religious profession and worship have
been considered the absolute rights of
individuals, recognized by our constitu
tions and secured to them by law. j It is
ordained by the constitution of the
United States that (Jongress shall matte

REUQIOC8 TEST, j
Eligibility to place and power in the vari
ous State governments was confined to
Trinitarian Christians. In the State of
Maryland the struggle to remove the po
litical disabilities of the Jews waxed
warm in 1823-4. In January, 1824, Col.
Worthington delivered his famous speech
in the Maryland Legislature, in the
course of which he stated that ho had
propounded certain inquires to Solomon
Etting, Esq., a leading Israelite of Balti
more, as follows: What offices havd been
or are now held by Hebrews? Solomon
Bnth, Colonel in the American revolu
tion, a distinguished officer who I died
after the revolution of the wounds ro
ceived or their effects. Reuben Etting,
Marshal of Maryland, appointed by
President Jefferson. He was also Cap
tain of a volunteer corps, raised very
early ia Baltimore, long under his com
mand, which became so numerous as to
require being divided into companies
and thrown into Fifth regiment Mary
land militia. Solomon Etting, Captain
Fifth regiment Maryland militia, ap
pointed by Governor Paca. Benj. I.
Cohen, Lieutenant in Columbian Volun
teers, attached to the Fifth regiment
Maryland militia. The strongest case
applicable to the subject is one at pres
ent existing and may be thus related:
Early in the spring of 1823 a number of
spirited young men formed a
VOLUXTK&B BIFXJS COMPANY
Known as the "Mkrion Corps." With
out any previous knowledge on his part
of even the existence of this company,
they unanimously elected Benj. I. Cohen,
Esq., their Captain. A commission was
received from Governor Stevens, but not
qualified to, of course, in consequence of
the existence of the test law; the corps
were made acquainted with this fact, and
a resignation of the command on the part
of Cant. Cohen followed. At a meeting
of the corps, called for tbat purpose, it
was unanimously determined that no
Captain should be elected until the fate
of this bill to repeal the test law should
be decided, and the corps is at presen

, - than such as may
be prescribed by this Constitution.
If the party shall

In 1868 an acti?e and enterprising

ABSOLUTELY. INDESCRIBABLE,
His character is like the ocean, gentle
and quiet in a calm ; but imposing and
awful in a storm. The orator is never
cold and stately, his hollow and resound
ing voice is like that of some furious
warning prophet of doom, and his fiery
sentences follow one another with such
rapidity that there is little chance for in
terruption. Another French leader,
Jules Simon, is both honest and great,
a fine orator, a shrewd and cautious poli
tician, a patriot of noblest type, a philos
opher of no mean order, and a careful
student of social science; he is one of the
foremost figures of his time. He strug
gled np from the ranks of the masses,
his origin was humble and his youth was
a perpetual battle for bread. Another
Frenchman of note, whose recent death
was mourned as a national calamity, was
Isaac Adolph Cremienx, Minister of Jus
tice in 1848, and a zealous defender and
champion of the rights of his oppressed
brethren. In 1840 he accompanied Sir
Moses Montefiore to the East for the pur
pose of taking active measures in behalf
of the persecuted Jews of Damascus.
The greatest equity lawyer of England,
who has filled the exalted position of
KASTKB OF THK ROLLS,
During the present generation, is Sir
George Jessels, a strict member of the
Jewish persuasion, who has been success
ively Senator of the University of Lon
don, Member of Parliament, Solicitor
General, and Master of the -Rolls; while
the acknowledged leader of the English
bar is Judah tr. .Benjamin. a,Jew bora in
New Orleans, and who, while awaiting
his admission to the bar of - England,,
wrote and published the best book upon
the law of sales, in existence. But ia
England Disraeli stands pre-eminent in
the lDUi century; his anoestors bearing a
jereut same, were driven Irom jspain,
and took refuge in the Benetian Repub
lic, where, grateful to the God of Jacob
who had sustained them through unpre
cedented trials, and guarded them
through unheard of perils, they assumed
the name of Disraeli, a name never
born before or since by any other family
in order that their race might be forever
recognized. From this stock sprang the
great Premier, whose own life is a more
wondrous tale than that of Alroy, a more
splendid romance than Tancred or Bene
tia. The philantropist, Sir Moses Mon
tefiore, was Sheriff of London, was
knighted by the Queen upon the occasion
of her visit to the city in 1846, and was
Bhortly afterwards made a baronet. In
1840, with Cremienx, aad on several
other occasions, he visited the East in
behalf of the Damascan Hebrews. In 1846,
he persuaded the Emperor Nicholas to
suspend the execution of an
EDICT AGAINST THB JEWS,
And was invited to visit Poland to con
cert measures of relief for his suffering
brethren in that unhappy country. In
1854, he collected funds for the famine
stricken inhabitants of the East, and se
cured from the Sultan the privilege of
holding real estate in Jerusalem, where
he built poor houses and encouraged industry-
and agriculture. In 1863, with
the help of Queen Elizabeth at Madrid,
he procured a firman from the Sultan of
Morocco putting his Jewish subjects upon
an equal footing with his Christian ones.
In his 82d year, he made his last visit to
Palestine, to assist those who naa suf
fered with the cholera, and whose crops
had been destroyed by locusts. The
next year he went to Bucharest, to
use his influence against the ill-
treatment of the Jews of Roumama.
In 1867 he endowed the Jewish College
at Rumsgate in honor of his deceased
wife. On September Zith, isoa, he was
presented with the freedom of the city
of London and a valuable present in to
ken of his benevolence. In Spain Emilo
Castelar ranks with the foremost men of
the age, as an eminent orator and un
compromising Republican. In 18C4 ho
founded a journal called "La Democra
da," in which he developed his social
and political principles. He was
CONDEMNED TO DEATH
In 1866, but escaped into France. In
1868 he returned to Spain, became a
member of the Cortez and a leader of the
Republican party. He is considered the
ablest political orator in Spain, became
Minister of t oreign Anairs in mii, and
was President of the Spanish Republic
from September 1873, to January 1874.
Once on a time, as the fairy tales recite,
William IX, Langrave of Hesse was ab
sorbed in a game of chess, behind his
chair, silent and attentive to every move,
stood an unobtrusive Hebrew,
awaiting an audience with the
Prince. The game was going
against Wm., who turning, sud
denly asked, "Do yon understand
chess?" "Sufficiently well, your serene
Highness, to induce me, were the game
mine, to castle on the King's side." That
was a master stroke, turning defeat into
victory, and so delighting the King that
he said, "You are a wise man; he who
can extricate a chess-player from such a
difficulty as I was in, must have a very
clear head for business." That wary
counsellor was Mayer Anselm Roths
child, the first great Knight of the Red
Shield; that luckv hint secured to the
banker the use of $40,000,000 and gen
erations of financial glory. The success
of the Rothschilds is too well known to
need repetition here; one of that family,
however, was (in 1858) the first Hebrew
to enter the British Parliament, from
which his race had been before exclud
ed. In that year a statute was passed,
allowing either honsei to dispense with
the clause in the oath requiring the mem
ber to swear "upon the true faith of a
Christian," whenever in its opinion the
publio interest required it. Proclaimed
in the United States and France, the
rights of the Jews were recognized in
Holland, Belgium, Denmark, parts of
Germany, Canada and Jamaica, and in
1848-9, throughout .Germany, Italy,
Hungary, and finally in Norway and
England. Among their
MOST ZEALOUS JdEFENDEBS

and the professing Jews Jacobssohn,
Tugenhold, Riesscr, Philipssohn, Mon
tefiore and Cremienx. The revolutionary
movement of 1848-9 proved the immense

bv the Polish patriots, Jews were olh-
cers of high rank in the

during the war in Turkey. And here let
me quote the words of an eloquent East
ern journalist, spoken at the fair given
iu aid of the
BALTIMORE HEBREW ORPHAN ASYLUM :
History records no such wonderful ex
ample as that of the proscribed Hebrew
race, though wearv centuries of exile and
persecution, clinging to the faith of their
fathers, and keeping unsullied the mem
ory of their former greatness. Ihevhava
kept alive the sweet influences of home;
the altar fires of love and affection have
blazed brightly on their family hearths;
virtue and charity have been their watch
words, and in their obedience to moral
and physical laws they have taught a les
son to more pretentious people, who,
while claiming a greater degree of
progress and intelligence, have
had their social systems stain
ed with dark blots of evil.
Literature, science, art and politics
stand indebted to them, charity and
beneficence have spread wherever they
have found a homo, and to-day we feel
that they have conduced to the prosper
ity of the Republic, and may be looked
upon as a factor that will help to bring
about the era for which we all so earnest
ly long that of universal peace and
God-like liberty. To-day the world
contains about 5,500,000 Hebrews.
Through the blessing of God, their long
night of sorrow seems to have drawn to
a close, and the glorious spirit of the
nineteenth century, addressing them in
cheering accents, exclaims, " Veritas, ro
liberabit!" the truth shall make you
free.
The New Orleans Picayune says:
"Within the past six weeks ovei
2,000,000 standard silver dollars have
been distributed by the New Orleans
mint. Under the new regulations
this coin has come to play a very im
portant part in our financial system.
There has been a steady flow to the
country parishes, to Texas and to tho
South Atlantic States. These coins
are coming rapidly into favor among
the negroes throughout the cotton
States, and the prospects are that
several millions wiil be absorbed dur
ing the season, and become a part of
tho circulating medium of the in
terior." They are very well suited
for circulation in rudely developed
commercial communities.
Mr. Buskin, in reply to a letter
addressed to him on the subject of
the Lord Rectorship of Glasgow Uni
versity, eays: "What in the devil's
name tiave you to do with either Mr.
Disraeli or Mr. Gladstone? You are
University students, and have no
more to do with politics than with
rat catching. I care no more for
Disraeli or Gladstone than for two
old bagpipes; but I hate all liberal
ism as I do Beelzebub."

A Claud la the Sky.
The United States as a Nation is
booming. Every department of in
dustry is prospering wonderfully;
from farm, workshop, mine every
where, the report comes that, as a
people, tbo inhabitants of the
United States are prospering exceed
ingly. There is but one cloud in th
sky, one thing which threatens the
future peace and integrity of the
country. Swiftly, more swiftly than
the people generally realize, tbo
wealth of the country is being gath
ered into corporations, aDd tho lands
are being absorbed in great estates.
When a man owns more land than
he can cultivate, then a wrong is be
ing perpetrated upon every poor man
who needs, but has not, a garden,
and the tendency of aggregated cap
ital is like that of accumulated snow.
It may melt quietly, and with its
distribution make a harvest for the
poor in the valleys below, or it may
take on the attributes of the ava
lanche and sweep everything before
it. Tho particular corporations :
which are becoming a terror to the
country are railroad corporations. In
fifty years they havo become so ter
rible a power that now one can
count on one's fingers the men who
are almost moro potent than the Gov
ernment itself. They are so con.
nected with nion's everyday business
that to patronize them is an absolute
necessity. Kailroads are the imper
ative needs of the modern world.
One can pursuo neither business nor
plcasuro without them, and henco it
is not strange that they absorb the
bulk of the profits of the country.
In fifty years they havo become such
a menace to froo government that in
a little while more it will bo neces
sary for tho Government in sheor
self-defense to appraise and condomn
tho great trunk lines. But the dan
ger from land monopoly is even
moro insidious than that from rail
road monopoly. An outraged com
munity can rise up and build an op
position railroad, but when a few
men have securou the titles to all
the land, what can be done then?
The respective conditions of Ireland
and Franco to day reveal the differ
ence which comes between a people
tilling their own soil and paying
rent to landlords for forbidden acres.
The wrong existed in France until
tho unspeakable sorrows of the
people culminated in a fearful revo
lution. When tho dreadful bath of
blood which followed washed the
mists from the eyes of tho people,
they passed a law that made wills
and testaments of real property of no
effect. The result is that one-fourth
of tho population of Franca are
owners of real estate, and France has
the most prosperous, patriotic and
happy people in Europe. It is
natural that it should be so. There
is nothing tbat makes the heart of
men so cling to a country as to feel
that their little children are at play
under the trees which they tho
fathers planted. This country can
be made tho same way. It can be
done peaceably it the remedy is
applied soon; if, ia our carelessness,
the matter is left to drift on another
fifty years, it will require blood baths
here, as it did in France, to clear
men's visions. The remedy should
come in the form of a law, which
should give men and companies all
tho land that they could cultivate,
and dividing the remainder among
the Americans who still want homes.
Watch Watching.
- Having obtained a really serviceable
article, you should, in order to produce
satisfactory results, follow out those
rules: Wind up your watch every day
at the same hour. This is generally
done at the hoar we retire to rest; 'or,
perhaps better still, the hour we rise.
Avoid putting a watch on a marble
slab or anything excessively cold. The
sudden transition from heat to cold
contracting the metal may sometimes
cause tho main-spring to break. In-
i deed, the cold
coagulatcs the on;
work and pivots
i anil the wheel
working less freely affect the regularity
of the time -keeper.
When we lay our watch aside we ought
to slope it on a watch case, so as to keep
it nearly in the same position as it has in
the pocket. In laying aside your watch
be sure that it rests on its case, as by sus
pending it free the action of the balance
may cause oscillation, which may con
aiderablv interfere with its going. If
f.you would keep your watch clean you
must do quite sure man me case his
firmly, and never put it into any pocket
bat one mode of leather. Those pockets
which are lined with cloth, cotton or cal
ico give, by the constant friction, a cer
tain quantity of fluff, which enters most
watches, even those tho cases of which
shut firmly.
If the watch is not a "keyless" one,
the key should be small, in order that
wo may feel the resistance of the stop
work; then we can stop in time without
forcing anything. It is also necessary
that the square of the key should cor
respond with that of the watch. If it
be too large, it may in a short time
cause the wind up square to snffer from
undue wear and tear; the rectifying of
which is rather expensive. The hands
of an ordinary watch can be turned
backward "without much risk. It is,
however, always better to move the
hands forward to adjust your watch to
correct time.
A skillful watchmaker one day thus
reasoned with a customer who complained
of his watch: "You complained" said he,
"that your watch gains a minute in a
menth. Well, then, you will congratu
late yourself when you have heard me.
You are aware that in your watch the
balance, whioh is the regulator, makes
five oscillations every second, which is
four hundred and thirty-two thousand a
day; so that your watch exposed to all
the vicissitudes of heat and cold, the
varying w ight of the air, and the shak
ing to which it is subjected to, has not
varied more than a minute a month, or
two seconds a day. It has only acquired
with each vibration of the balance a va
riation of the two hundred and sixteen
thousandth part of a second. Judge,
then, what must be tho extreme perfec
tion of the mechanism of this watch."
A watch cannot go for ah indefinite
period without being repaired or clean
ed. At the expiration of a certain time
the oil dries' up, dust accumulates and
wear and tear are inevitable results to
the whole machinery, the functions be
coming irregular, and frequently ceas
ing to act altogether. A person pos
sessing a watch of good quality, and
desirous of preserving it as such, should
have it cleaned every two years at least.
But care Bhould be taken to confide
this cleaning or repairing to careful
hands; an incapable workman may do
great injury to a watch even of the
simplest construction.

AGRICULTURAL.
PODfTS OP A GOOD COW.
Mr. Henry Stewart, in the Rural New
Yorker, gives the following as the chief
characteristic of a good cow the points
being so well defined that any one can
make the selections. They are also in
accordance with the results of experi
ence: "The extremities should be delicately
formed; the tail long and thin, except at
its root, which should be large and
strong; the muzzle Bhould be fine; the
head long, flat and thin, but broad across
the eyes, to give room for a large brain,
which is the foundation for a highly de
veloped and active nervous system; the
horns fine, thin aud neatly curved ; the
eyes bright and active, agreeing with the
active brain, but calm, quiet and mild in
expression, significant of a quiet, con
tented disposition, and one not readily
disturbed or worried. As tho secretions
of the body all come from the blood,
and as a rich, yellow color is desired in
the butter, so the skin Bhould be filled
with a yellow pigment, and the inside of
the ears and the thighs, and the other
places where the hair is light aud the
skin plainly visible, should be of a rich
orange color, so the scales or ear-wax
should be of the same color. The hair
should be fine, smooth and silky; and iu
short tho whole appearance should be
satisfying to the eye, and consistent one
part with another and well balanced."
CONCEBNINO ONIONS. j
Onions are eaten to a greater extent
than any garden vegetables raised with
the exception of cabbages. With many !
they serve the double purpose of food
and condiment, some persons wno aD
hor their odor and dislike their taste eat
them because they are nutritions and
conducive to health. In many portions
of Europe where land is scarce, and peo
ple desire to produce all the food from it
they can, onions are raised to a large ex
tent. They take the place of butter and
cheese in supplying a relish to coarse
bread. They are sliced ia vinegar and
eaten raw, made into soup, and cooked
boiling and frying. In the warm coun
tries of Southern Europe onions take the
place of cabbages and potatoes to a
great extent.
It is somewhat singular that onions are
not fed in considerable quantities to
poultry and all kinds of live stock.
Fowls of all varieties are extremely fond
of them, and derive great benefit from
eating them. Besides serving all the
purposes of true food, they aid digestion
and tend to ward off disease. They may
be fed raw or cooked. Chickens will eat
not only the bulbs, but the leaves when
chipped up and mixed with dough.
Chickens that are allowed onions pre
pared in this way rarely, if ever, are
troubled with the cholera. Chickens
that eat onions are not likely to be in
fested by vermin. One of the best kinds
of food for laying hens during the winter
consists of cooked meat, potatoes and
onions. Onions are cheaper than pepper
to feed to poultry, and they answer tho
same purposes.
Almost all kinds of stock are fond of
onions, and there is generally consider
able difficulty in keeping them from eat
ing them. Of course they shonli not be
fed to milk cows, owing to the odor and
flavor they impart to milk,but other kinds
of stock may eat onion, not only without
detriment, but with great advantage. All
animals delight in condiments, and there
is nothing in the line of relishes that
thev will eat as readily as they will onions.
For young stock they should be chipped
up and fed with grain and meal, but ior
large animals they require no prepara
tion. Onions that are lare enough to be
salable in season when they are tolerable
high are expensive food for stock, but
there ore always many that are too small
or ill-shaped to sell.
To grow onions on a large scale to ad
vantage the ground Bhould be prepared
in the fall, as the seed Bhould be planted
almost as soon as the frost leaves the soil
in the spring. As onions are gross feed
ers the land on which they are planted
should be very heavily matured. To pre
vent trouble with weeds the fertilizers
aoDlied should be free from seeds, which
will ordinarily germinate before the
onion seed will. Well rotted stable
manure is excellent and so are the fer
tilizers prepared from meat, blood, and
osher slaughter-hotiFe refuse. Ashes and
salt are also good fertilizers for this
crop. The first cause the young plants
to grow rapidly and the last will destroy
many insects. Coarse and rank manures
are not desirable.
Onions should not be harvested till
the weather becomes tolerably cool in
the fall, though they will ripen quite
early in the season. The moisture
should be allowed to dry from them be
fore they are stored away. They should
be kept whore the temperature is good
and is tolerably dry. If they are aided
by heat and moisture they will shrivel
and become unfit for cooking purposes,
and, of course, for the market. An
ordinary cellar is too moist and too
warm for preserving onions. An exten
sive onion grower makes, for keeping
onions, as deep a pit as he can with plow
in a dry, sheltered place near the house,
scraping out all the loose dirt with a hoe
and putting in some chaff or straw from
the straw stack, and tramping down well.
Then he hauls the onions from where
they grew, and piles them iu carefully
ou this, and puts more chaff on top and
covers up with a foot of dirt from each
side aud pocks it smooth with the spade,
where they can remain a part or all of
the winter, or until wanted.
The JaUochkoff Elootrio Light.
The London Metropolitan Board
of Works has recently renewed a
contract for one year for lighting the
Victoria Embankment nnd Waterloo
Bridge with the Jablochkoff electric
light. The Jablochkoff system has
been in successful operation on the
Thames Embankment sinco the 13th
of December, 1878, when twenty
lights were started between West
minister and Waterloo Bridges.
Twenty lights, extending the work
to Blackfriars Bridge, were added in
May, 1879, and ten moro were put on
Waterloo Bridge in October last; ten
lights have also been put in the Vic
toria Kail way station.! All of the
lights on the embankment have been
kept in operation regularly for six
hours each night since they were first
started a fact that is worthy of con
sideration when it is borne in mind
that the machinery was originally
arranged for twenty lights only,
with no thought that the system was
to be extended, and that the changes
rendered necessary by each of the
two extensions have had to be made
without interfering with the daily ef
ficiency of tho apparatus. The price
paid by the Board of Works was, at
first 6d. per light per hour; it was
rednced to 5d. in the first, and 3d.
on the second extension, and has
again been reduced on the renewal
of tho contract to 2jd. per light per
hour. The Jablochkoff system of
electric lighting is now in use under
almost every possible condition and
in every variety of establishment
in streets, on bridges, in railway sta
tions, theaters, circuses, engineering
and industrial works, docks, basins,
on board steam vessels, in hotels and
in private residences. They are also
in use in Burmah, Persia, Portugal
and Spain, and are rapidly being in
troduced in nearly all quarters of the
globe. "
Into on of our largest dry goods
stores entered a gentleman the ether day,
and with the air of one who had been
used to this sort of thing all his life, you
know, he said to the astonished sales
woman: "Give me a yard of maroon
colored flannel to match a baby, please."
Correcting himself hastily, he began
again: I beg pardon; I mean a yard
of 1 flannel to match a maroon-colored
baby here (producing a bit of flannel
fromis vest pocket), I want a yard of
that."! . - . -t

THE GREAT FAIR.
The Portland Evening Telegraai in its well
written notices of the Mechanic! Fair lately
closed at that place, ha this to My of the well
known house of
aiwauBT, HAWTBoana A Co.
In the extreme west end of machinery hall is
the exhibit made by the well known house of
Newbury, Hawthorne A Co. One of the moat
important parte of their exhibit to farmers it the
world renowned Morrison Broa. plowi, with both
wood and eteel beams, riding or walking plows.
The wood beams all have doublo iron standards,
bracing well from both bottom and top, in oppo
it directions. They are securely bolted to the
beam, which has double the usual wrought iron
support. The shape of the Morrison plow is
peculiar to itself, it haviDga longer and higher
point and higher shin than any plow in the
American market. The mould-board are set
well forward and extra hardened. Newbury,
Hawthorne A Co. are the only firm in Oregon
which carry the Bessemer steel beam plow, made
by Morrison Brothers. It is twelve pounds
lighter than the iron beam and cannot be bent.
In a trial of plows lately made by the Linn
county council of the Patrons of Husbandry, the
Morrison Brothers' plows made the highest num
ber of poinU and was adopted by the Grange and
and recommended by them to the Patrons of
Linn county. The plows are certainly well con
structed and must be durable, light draft and do
good work, as all concede who know them, and
we see no good reason why farmers should use a
chilled plow when they can have a "Morrison,"
which Is stronger and moro durable, lighter to
handle, 100 pounds lighter draft and does equally
good work in any soil. Farmers should see the
"Morrison" before purchasing any other. One
of the most important things they show is the
FARMEU'S rKIIBD DRILL,
A piece or farm machinery which they have sold
for two years in Oregon, and which has given
complete satisfaction. One of the great features
of the drill is tho cone gear for regulating the
seeding. With all otherl drills thus far manufac
tured, in order to chan ge the amount of seed
sown per acre, the macuinemust be stopped, aud
the drive wheel and several cog wheels, re
moved at the cost of considerable timo, while
with the Farmer's Friend Drill it is instantly
changed by a lever, and even without stopping
the team if a change is i esired during the opera
tion of the drill. The quantity thus regulated
is beyond the possibility of a mistake. It has a
double force feed, and h is been tested in Europe
and America, and pronounced the best drill on
earth, receiving tMgold medal both in Paris and
Philadelphia. Newbury, Hawthorne A Co. have
induced the manufacturers to niake many impor
tant improvements in the drill, among which is
the increase in size from twelve to twenty hoes,
and the making of both the large wheels do the
duty of drive wheels, being double-geared, and
driving from both ends. Tbey have also added
a feed cone at each end, so as to regulate the
seeding from each end. Heavy truss braces
with bridgetree have also been added at this
firm's suggestion. Notably in the exhibit made
by this firm is the
ESTERLT SIIDEB ADD CULTIVATOR,
The king of all seeders in America. It is said
to be the most perfect and durable machine in
Lhe market. It reauires nochanee ofcoe-wheels.
has an agitator and improved metal drag, bar
fastenings; also oil tempered teeth. A eculiar
and valuable feature ol the machine is that it has
more scatlerers and cylinders than any other, as
it has live sets, while other machines use but
three or four, and in the large machines the
number is increased proportionately, which gives
the most even and perfect distributions of lhe
seed. It is the only seeder provided with an
India rubber cut-oil, which effectually prevents
the cracking of grain. At every Fair where the
Esterly seeder bas been on exhibition it bas ob
tained the highest premium over all others. As
with the farmers friend drill tbe house in
Portland had to increase the Esterly to twenty
hoes, and added like improvements with the ex
ception of the cones. Both these machines are
rigged for two, three or four horses abreast, accord
inu' to the size of the machines. These improve
ments have been made necessary in order to meet
the demands of the large tanners of t-aatern Ure
eon and Washington, and at their branch house
iu Walla Walla the firm have had large sales of
tbe machines, leamsters are much delighted
with tbo imbroved
WHITEWATER WAGOK,
Government standard, which is shown at the
pavilion by tlio-above firm. Il is a la -t tiitt it is
pronounced by all the best ironed wag n m the
market. These wagons have, for a number of
years, been used iu tbe service of the United
States Government, and have, without failure,
stood the climatic tests of everv section of this
country. They are also used by the British Gov
eminent in their operations in the northern part
or tins continent, iney uavo recently oeen im
proved especially lor ibis trade, have many im
provements never before seen on any wason, and
are the best in the market on the Pacific coast, of
which an examination will convince the most
skeptical. . This firm also carry the renowned
Torsion bolster, seat and pole springs. The bol
ster springs will carry from a half to five tons,
and will outlast turee new nacons. ibe seat
springs are the best in the world, being ao flex
ible that they cannot It 3 put on a cramp or
broken, and are adjustable to either wiue or nar
row track wagons. The pole springs are light,
simple, effective and durable. They take the
weight from the neck i f the team and are
adapted to all wagons with drop down poles.
THE WHIPPLE Ol'inE.
The farmer's friend and friend of his horses.
The great equalizer of the age. Universally
sought after where koown. Relieves the team
from all the jerking and shaking caused by rough
roads and uuevenness of the ground. Saves the
team, saves the harness and makes the control of
a wagon, drill or threshing machine so easy that
a boy can take the place ol a man, in driving
either. The only place on the Pacific Coast
where the Whitewater wagons aud the above
improvements can be had is at Newbury, Haw
thorne A Co., who carry a full stock of then. The
KIT CITT EXTENSION TOPS
For carriages, buggies and light wagons, are
shown by the firm. The top is adapted to all
uses, and suited to all weather. These tops may
be used on a single or double-seated vehicles, and
their three or four bowed jointed top may be used
either on carriages or farm wagons, aud can be
changed from one to the other in five minutes.
These tops range in prices from $15 to $ii0, being
less than one-half the cost of any other tops.
Tbe attention of farmer, carriage makers and
dealers generally are invited to these desirable
articles.
THE CESTEKHIAL FAKKIXO HILL,
Both for farm and warehouse, are also exhibited.
They are especially adapted to cleaning wheat,
oats and barley, clover and timothy, flax, beans
and coru meal. ThaCentennial Fanning Milt is
the best constructed, duarble and most eomplelc
in the world.
mSCCLLAHEOUS ARTICLES.
Newbury, Hawthorne A Co. also show some
railroad and mining shovels, picks, bolted wheel
barrows, railroad and highway plows and scrap
ers, Scutt's patent four point steel barb fence wire
both rod and galvanized, Randall's steel disk
rolling harrows, California steel spring tooth har
rows. The famous Truckee Yankee pattern
woodchoppera, axes, sledges and wedges are
quite a feature. Tbe famous Washoe picks,
handled or unhandled, are also on exhibition, as
well as a very superior a. tide of hoes, shovels,
spades, spading forks, potato hooks, and a full
line of wood and steel agricultural hardware.
TBE FIRM.
No firm in Oregon is better and more favora
bly known throughout this Nerthwest coast than
Newbury, Hawthorne A Co. They are enter
prise e and live dealers and no firm stands bet
ter with the farmers than they. The men that
compose it are among our best citizens and their
agents and employes are chosen with due re
gard to character. Long may toey prosper.

Aa Extraordinary Correspondence.
A correspondence with hair was once
attempted between a notorious Parisian
thief in durance vile and his comrades
outside. A letter was sent to the pris
oner from- his sweetheart, containing
merely a lock of hair wrapped in the leaf
of a book. The jailor did not consider
the sonvenir important enough to be de
livered ; bat in a few days there came a
similar inclosure, and yet another. This
aronsed suspicion, and the governor
took the matter in hand. He examined
the leaf of the book; it was that of
a common novel, twenty-six lines on
a page. Then he studied the hair
and noticed the small quantity of
the gift. Counting the hairs, he found
them of unusual length, and twenty-six
in number, the same as the lines on the
Eage. Struck with the coincidence, he
dd the hairs along the lines of the page
which they respectively reached; begin
ning at the top with the smallest hair.
After some trouble he found that the end
of each hair pointed to a different letter,
and that these letters combined formed a
strong sentence which informed the
prisoner that his friends were on 'the
watch, and that the next time he left the
prison to be examined an attempt woo Id
be made to rescue him. The governor
laid his plans accordingly. The attempt
was made, bat the rescuers fell into their
own trap.
Acoording to the London Telegraph,
one of the greatest boons to miners, on
the score of safety, is the new miner's
lamp, in which the light of phosphores
cence is substituted for that of positive
ignition. In this apparatus the interior
of the screen is covered with a brightly
luminous paint, and there is, therefore,
notning in its construction or character
that can by any means become a source
of danger. Such a contrivance, it an
swering the capacity claimed for it, must
be of peculiar value, pecuniarily Consid
ered, in preventing the destruction of
property by explosion. But tbe great
advantage of such a lamp over those now
in common nse is its insuring against a
peril from which the Davy lamp cannot
protect the workmen. If that lamp bo
carried against a current of air mixed
with fire damp, the explosive gas pene
trates through the gauze, and comes in
actual contact with the flame, a catastro
phe being the natural result of such con
tact; obviously, however, no risk of this
sort could be involved in the use of a
phosphorescent light by miners.
Experiments made in France by MM.
Savigny and Colinean have resulted in
the production of some valuable dyes
from the common garden cabbage that
is they have succeeded in extracting from
red cabbage, or broccoli, a coloring mat
ter wliich is claimed to lie absolutely in
offensive, and capable of application in
all the ordinary operations of painting,
printing and dyeing. The leaves of the
plant are for this purpose cut into small
pieces, thrown into boiling water in tbe
proportion of three pounds of the leaf to
three litres of water, and there left to
macerate for twenty -four hours; at the
end of this time they are withdrawn and
subjected to a strong pressure, the juices
expressed by this means being added to
the liquor infusion. As thus obtained,
the substance to which the name of
"cauline" has been given is of a blue
violet color, and forms the base of a
series of derivatives of various colors.
The prize offered by the King of Sax

scheme is that of Gen. W. Heine. Un
der this process the water, sufficiently
saturated with slacked lime, has te pass
through several tanks, from which it de

Second That the arrepted theory of the dlseane
that It "in simply a local Inflammation of the mucous

erroneous in the extreme, else why do they not cure
no simple a dtoeaae which fa merely the result of a

Third That Catarrh is not fdmpty IXK'AL but
CONSTITUTIONAL also, being of scrofulous orlRin,
hence cafiahie of traiium fusion to OfTspriug, wliich ac

Fourth That vaccination Is one of the prime cause

Hixth That we have made the above facto a life
study, having been a Rival sufferer ourselves from
this worst of curses, until Cl-KKI) BY OUR OWN
KKMKDY.and are fully warranted In the aneertron
that they are FACTS; having for more than twelve
years bued our treatment of that loathsome disease,
CATARRH, upon tbe above principles with the very
nest of success. So anxious were we to And a remedy
that was speciilc for the cure of this disease that we
have tenred at different times In our practice roost of
tbe remedies now in-une. and found that they were
gotten up upon theory, and not on actual knowledge
of the disease. Having become fully convinced that
our theory of the iliw-ane is correct, and that when
directions are strictly followed
OUR REM EDIT IA SPECIFIC,
We have decided to place our RVRB CURB FOR
CATARRH in the hands of druggists throughout the
great northwest, at the very nominal price of UN'K
IKJIXAK PER BOTTLE. Already thirty druggists
have ordered, and the MURE CURE ha been sent
them some the second and third lots since August
15th. Nine of the leading druggists of Portland have
it in stock : the well known and reliable firm of Hodge '
lavis A Co. are wholesale agents. Were it not that
the Remedy possesses intrinsic merit, such a wide
spread demand and sale could not be effected in so
short a time. The fact Is that during our three years'
practice tn Portland we have fully established the
reputation of DR. JAMES KECK'H SURE CURE
FOR CATARRH.
We would caution yon from purchasing for the
same as Dr. Keck!s any "ratarrh Retnedv" which
has not the autograph signature "JAMES KECK, M.
D." upon each package, as some having other reme
dies on hand of which they wish to dispose, are repre
senting them to be the same as Dr. Keek's; of course
If ours were WORTHLESS they would not be com
pelled to resort to this unprincipled means to effect
sales of inferior preparations.
Remember also that we make a SPECIALTY of
the treatment of diseases of WOMEN.
