The Jews of the United States are inaugurating a movement for the es tablishment of agricultural colonies in the west and south. It s a remarka ble departure for this people to un dertake. Such a person as a Hebrew farmer is hardly known in the history of this country. The subject of col onization was 6rst discussed at the annual convention of Hebrew congre gations at Cincinnati, last summer. On that occasion a committee was ap pointed to further consider the mat ter. This committee has reported that, in their opinion, the true eman cipation of Jews consists in the greater infusion of a spirit of manhood and self-dependence, which can best be done by encouraging the nrilions of Israelites dwell:ng in eastern and southern Europe to become farmers and mechanics. The committea points to the broad, free acres of the west, ready to yield untold wealth, and to impart to millions of Jews that spirit of true independence that the owner and tiller of the soil always enjoys. The Jews of this country and of all countries are of a patient, preseverin, tireless nature. In trade they are close, active, sharp and successful. Centuries of persecution have failed to break either spirit or ambition. Their physical and mental endurance is something wonderful. They slowly emerge from the bondage of ages, and their representatives control the treas uries of the most powerful c'vilized governments of the world, direct their grandest commercial enterprises, dic tate international treaties, and the foreign and home politics of nations. Looking at the vast accomplishments of this remarkable race of people in other directions, what may we not be prepared to see them do in this new field to which they now tnrn. We predict for Jewish agriculture in Sirgul&r&ndSftd EIcyoKeKt. Sew York Sun. The daughter of Mayor Jonea of Toledo, Ohio, eloped in a singu lar and sad manner. Mr. Jones! had repeatedly been chosen chief magistrate of his city, and is a man of wealth and high respectability. The daughter, now 20 years old, graduated at the head of her class in the Toledo high school at 1G, and was regarded as one of the most accomplished girls in Ohio. She was a pius Roman Catholic, un til converted bv a former school male to believe in the doctrine of perfection ism, as taught by a sect of communistic Free Methodists. She was so influenced by this new faith that she discarded the lover to whom she was engaged, intend ing to wait until she could choose a husband spiritually suited to her. At length she became insane, and was kept awhile in an asylum, where the friend who had won her to perfectionism was also confined. Both were subsequently released,, apparently cured. Lately Miss Jones was visited by Sheridm Waite of Fort Edward, New York, who brought a letter of introduc tion from her friend, in which he was described as the man above oil others for her to marrv. Al though Waite was an ugly young fellow, Miss Jones unhesitatingly accepted him, religious mania at once repossessing her. His con duct then and afterward indicates that he was equally crazy. They eloped together, and travelled from place to place until, in Jones ville, Mich., they found a clergy man willing to marry them. A physician saw them, recognized the bride, and was convinced of ' 1 TT 1 tne insanity oi tne pair, ue tele graphed to Maj-or Jones, who has regained his daughter. MISCELLANEOUS. E. S.

With the He brews once fairly enlisted, we shall jsee farming prosecuted as a business, with a thoroughness and success here tofore unknown either abroad or at home. The movement, as we said be fore, is an entire new departure in the industrial habits of the Hebrew race, as it has existed for centuries, but it is to be remembered that it is but a re t turn to the life and work of the forefathers. Steps have been taken, at "Wash-ir-ton, to provide for some k'nd of civil government at Alaska. Looking to this end, H. B. James, chief of the customs division, E. W. Clark, chief of the revenue marine division, and A. K. Tingley, supervising special agent, have been appointed a commis sion to consider this vexed question and report on all information which can be gleaned respecting he wants of Alaska.

So far the colored emigrants have -not found Kansas the land of honey it was represented to be. They have landed in large numbers at Wyandotte, . Rnd have no other resources than the charity of strangers. Wyandotte is a 'flourishing town in the county of the ..same name, at the confluence of the -Missouri and Kansas rivers, and, while generally in favor of immigra tion, is not prepared to give food and shelter to the thousands of blacks re ported to be on their way to that state. .The condition of the emigrant is -pitiable. Kansas is a colder climate than they are accustomed to, and pri vation and exposure have already caused a number of deaths. What ever measures may be taken for pres ent relief, emigration in such large numbers should be discouraged. Emi gration should be gradual even under ..favorable circumstances. If the bulk of the laboring population of large -districts iu one state are suddenly transferred to another state, the effects fire-bad in both. While the Missis . atppi planters are threatened with ruin for the lack of laborers, towns in Kan .t&& are overrun with laborers, for yfhnm there is no work. The move ment of the colored race north would be a healthful indication of enterprise .ifjtwere conducred with discretion; but-from present indications the im mediate results will be injurious to the interests of both races.
