People Wliose Rnlea of Life are Almost Id c n U c B l W ithX b o a e o f B i b l e T i m e s . From the Providence Journal. On Sunday is the best time to see this colony, because then it oifers the strangest and strongest contrast with the life that surrounds it. East Broad way is the main thoroughfare in this colony. The once grand avenue of the rich Quakers of forty years ago— the street that led to the houses of the progenitors of Henry Bergh and Berry Wall and the now aristocratic Eoose- velts. The solid big houses are there yet, with their high stoops and broad fronts and mansion-like appearance, but how changed, how sadly changed. Pillows and carpets bang from their upper windows, what were once the dining rooms and parlors are packed thick with workmen and workwomen making clothing, and the windows and walls are lined with bales of the cheap est coats and trousers imaginable. Queer, blousy women in greasy wigs and very odd-looking men i n ' long beards are running hither and thither. The roadway and gutters are full of refuse and waste, the air is heavy with bad odors, the breath on all the win dow panes- is the breath of squalor, neglect, and indifference to appear ances and comfort. Very strange signs are over the doors. The characters are Hebrew. The only words we can read are the proper names, nearly all ending in the letters “sky” o r “ski.” Sunday to these folks, as to all b u t the liberal Hebrews, is as Monday is tons. There is only one way in which they observe our Sabbath. That is by clos ing their theatres. They do this be cause our laws forbid their being Opened. By mounting any one of a dozen flights of steps we can step from New York to modem Asia Minor, almost to ancient Judea. It is in the synagogues that this change confronts us. They are bare, forlorn places—mere rooms full of benches—bnt they are highly important to this strange community. Here the rabbis preside, and the rabbi is, as he used to be, the chief source of authority and wisdom. He preaches here on Saturdays, teaches school all the week, holds court perpetually as a Judge before whom all dissensions and disputes are brought, marries, christ ens, confirms, blesses, advises, exhorts, chastises, and, in a word, guides and controls his flock. Like nearly all the he wears a velvet cap, and like all he refrains from shaving his beard. His language is sometimes Hebrew, but in most cases he uses the tongue of his people, a singular mixture of Hebrew or Polish, or Hebrew and the tongue of whatever other Slav race he belongs to. All about the neighbor hood are bookstores, and the books are all p rinted in one polyglot or an other corresponding with the talk of the people. The young girls are more or less pleasing to the eye. The majority are swart, but some are very fair blondes with golden tresses. All the married women look alike, however, for all have shaved their heads and wear wigs—of black hair, proceeding in their looks from little stems of cord or horsehair. It is said that this mechanism of the wig does n o t show when they are new, but I never saw one that did n o t show its secrets any. more than I ever saw a Chinaman’s queue that was n o t length ened with black thread or horsehair. These married women are made to look still less attractive by their fash ion of wearing their waistbands almost under the armpits. The strongest idilection is for red dresses, and their next strongest is for wearing them for lengths of time exceeding human belief. Their wigs serve in stead of other bead covering, so that one is next to never seen in a b at or bonnet, no matter where or how far she goes. Even on railroad journeys they go bareheaded. They are not al lowed to cover while in church, where they sit apart from the men, and I have heard that among the strictest of the orthodox the women may not cover in the presence of their husbands. How ever, a strict perusal of Deuteronomy and Leviticus (which I beg leave to state are books in the Bible) will show exactly what the strictest rules of the raoe.were, and, in the main, remain F in d s Are ttae R e s u lt o f A c c id e n ts, Frentloe Mulford In Milwaukee Telegrapk. Gold, as a rule, is the last thing you will see in gold-bearing soil. You may have it under your feet at the rate of $ ioo to the bucketful of- dirt, and not a grain will you see un less that soil happens to be furrowed by a recent rain. T h e n , if a stream of water has cut it away, washing it clean to the ledge, you may sec lying thereon the dull yellow bits, and you may take them for bits of brass or brass filings. Gold in its native state is not a showy metal, not near as showy as the glittering yellowish pyrites of iron, which so often, by the inexperienced, has been mistaken for the genuine ore. A man, long out of luck, strolled one morning in an aimless mood of mind out of the town of Columbia, Tuolumne County. He sat down under a tree and with his stick com menced poking and prying at a rusty looking boulder in the soil before him. As he continued to poke and pry a dull yellowish bit of color ap peared beneath the coating of reddish dust with which the lump was 'cover ed—rust accumulated during its long rest from the iron permeated soil. He examined more closely, and found himself in possession of a nugget,' nearly all gold, and worth about $ 10 , 000 . T h e big strikes which came under my observation were all the result of similar accidents—as ai Bar, on the Tuolum ne, seem ing m isfortune o f Chambers where the ig misfortune of a breaking reservoir led to a rush of water ovet ground where no gold was supposed to be, and in the deep furrow cut by the water, there on the ledge lay coarse gold ; as on the Mariposa trail, where one day a luckless man, pack ing grub and blankets, sat on a bit of white, jagged rock to eat his dinner, and after eating and while smoking he idly pried with his jack-knife bits from the rotten ledge and found one of the richest quartz veins in the S tate; as at the Rawhide Ranch claim in Tuol- ne, where the long-continued win- rains of 1861-2 (fifty-nine consec utive days of d rizzle and hard show- indcr water, $109 per barrel)— w of dirt in a banl lut, and revealed ands and thousands o f dollars in coarse.

State P riso n In d u s tries. In Sing Sing 1,600 convicts are now rusting in idleness because the Super intendent has DO funds to carry on the luxurious and expensive plan of keeping them at work. In the prison, under the present system-, work is con tinued, not for profit, but only as a part of prison administration and dis- ue, because prisoners can be man aged more easily and kept in better health while occupied in some daily industry than when kept in idleness. But they labor at a loss to the State, which always receives, as the product of the industry, less than it advances to carry on the industry. By the contract system the State prisons were self-supporting; by the system of the demagogues the taxpayers must sup port them and keep the prisoners occupied at a loss on their labor.

W isb a r was show ing him . “ I will send over my books- and some additional furniture this morning. Now about a bedroom?” “ I have one vacant. Third-story back.” Up the stairs they mounted, and the room being satisfactory, the doctor departed to send over hi* possessions. It was a long job to settle his office, put out his sign: “ Dr. Stephen Arnold,” unpack his books, and get things in order. And all the time his hands were busy in this work his mental faculties were leading him a dance of mingled pain and delight. Pain, because being only twenty-five years old, his practice was yet to come, so that love and marriage were tar away visions. Delight, because he had met, only tne evening before, a maiden who had taken him captive at It was tsrue that Helen Arnold, his cousin, who had let him see very plainly for more than a year that her fair self and fifty thousand dollars light be his for the asking, had said “ I have something to tell you about Miss Gardiner the next time I see But what of t h a t ! Helen Arnold had always something to tell of every girl with whom he danced twice. One painted, another ^flirted, a third was engaged. N o t one was perfect but herself. But Mabel Gardiner, M rs. W e st- lake’s niece, this queen of girls, cer tainly neither painted nor flirted. He knew that M rs. W estlake was very wealthy ; had heard o f her adopt ed! niece, and his heart grew cold as that barrier of wealth reared itself around his idol, forbidding him to woo It was late in the forenoon when he ran lightly up the stairs to unpack his trunk, and make his bedroom home- lie. N o w , it must be here explained that the furnace register that heated M rs. W isbai’s third floor came between the front and back rooms, in the partition w a ll; and Dr. Arnold, kneeling close to the register, unpacking his trunk, was startled to hear the door o f the next room open, and Mabel Gardiner’s “ Pshaw !” he thought, “ I must be far gone when I think the first girl’s voice I hear is hers.” He did not listen, but this is what he heard : “ Here I am, darling, at last. And how are you ? W e re you very, very lonely all night ?” A fainter voice, with A t dinner be was introduced her. Mrs. W istar informed him that the Miss Gardiner who was in the room next to had fallen on the ice and b rokcn'^cr leg, and Miss Mabel was the most devoted nurse. “ T h ey’re two sweet girls,” M rs. W istar said, “though they must be poor. They sew for a living, and such lovely em b roidery I never saw, as they do. And they have a rich aunt who comes in a carriage to see them, that they do say— other folks, I mean—would not let them set a stitch if they -would only go home with h e r !” » It would be far too long a story for me to tell how Mabel Gardiner won the full possession of ^Dr. Arnold’s heart. M a n y were the npportunlties for courting, and he eagerly grasped each and every one. For three months his heart had been at Mabel’s feet, but he had not spoken, when, one morning as he sat ■n his room, reading, the furnace register snapped open, and a mascu- undercur- lenl of pain in it, remarked : “ Lonely enough. But never mind that. T e ll me all about the party. W h a t did yo*u wear ?” “ Garnet and pond liJlies.” “ You must have looked lovely !” A merry laugh answered that. Then followed an animated descrip tion of a party, and then—could D r. Arnold help bearing; ‘But, oh, Fannie, I must tell you. There was a Miss Helen Arnold there, who met me one day at Fisher’s on the stair-case. I had a huge bundle, the velvet dress we embroidered last. She took one long look at me, and last night she recognized me. She had a handsome cousin there. Dr. Arnold, and she was evidently guard ing him against all designing girls. Fancy her consternation when he danced with one of Fisher’s sewing girls, talked with her and brought her an ice at supper time. M y dear, it was as good as a play to watch her face. But I did not know the cream of the joke until we went home. Then Aunt Kate told me she actually had the insolence to ask her if her niece was a sewing girl for Fisher.” D r. Arnold ground his teeth, but }istened l still. T h e sweet voice, full of merriment, continued : “ C an’t you fancy Aunt Kate, Fannie ! I can see her draw up that little figure o f hers til! she looked six feet tall.” “ But what did she say ?” “ She said her niece was sewing for Fisher, because she had too much pride to be dependent upon a rich aunt, who would gladly give h er a home of luxury and idleness.” “ Dear Aunt Kate ?” “ She is a darling! By the way, “ you here are some white grapes and a lot of other dainties for you. I am sleepy yet, Fannie.” “ Lie down here by me, and take a n a p !” A little more girlish chatter and then silence.

Miss Fannie is well enough now to go out, and it is her duty and yours. Miss Mabel, to go to M rs. W estlake’s, and stay there. Stop ! Don’t interrupt me ! I know all the nonsense about independence and toadying and such stuff. You are good girls, and can be trusted with a secret. Your aunt, in spite of her apparently good health, has a bad form of heart disease. She docs not know it, and, mind, she must not know it. W h a t she calls ‘dizzy turns’ arc really dangerous attacks. She ought never to be alone, day or night, and the attacks should be met instantly by the remedies.” ' “ Doctor you don’t mean she will die ?” “ She may live for years, with lov ing care and some one always near her. Neglected, she may dierin any one of those attacks.” “ W e will go at once— to-day,” Mabel said. “ You cannot refuse now Fannie !” “ No I W e must go.” “ W h e n shall I tell -Mrs. W estlake send the carriage for you ?” asked the doctor. “ In half an hour ?” “ And every thing to p a c k ! If you are going there, will you tell her to send for Fannie whenever she pleases, and I will fofow as soon as I can pack u d .” Then Dr. Arnold suddenly realized that he had again been guilty of eaves dropping. G o ing away ! He knew then If he had not fully done so before, what it would mean to him to miss Mabel from his daily life. He sat in misery while he heard, as if in a dream, the preparations for departure. He heard Fannie go, and the bustle of packing. A F L IR T IN G HUSBAND.

I ask this question be cause I meet so many men acting like idiots on every journey I take. Directly in front of m e on a recent journey sat a pretty girl, perhaps 22 years of age, and aorosa the way was a fine looking, middle aged man with a sweet faced wife, two lovely children- and a nursemaid. This party was evidently returning from some pro longed visit to the country, and head ing for ‘‘Grandma’s” t n atay u n til the holidays. The conversation of the children told all this to eveiy one in the parlor car. Presently when mam ma was deep in a new book, and nnrse bad the babies on a sofa at tha end of the car, the scamp of a husband open ed the campaign by surreptitious smiles in the looking glass a t the p retty girl.

It was the telegraph blank and on it was th i s : “I am strangely interested in you and desire a further acquaintance. Will you write me on your return to New York ?

In a moment his resolve was taken. Knocking at Miss Gardiner’s door, he found her folding dresses, but at the sight of his agitated face she went “ You are going away !” he said. “ Going out of my life! I must speak. Mabel, do you not know how I love you ?” “ I know,” she answered softly. “ And you f O h 1 my darling— can you love me ?” A sparkle of mischief darted into the big brown eyes, as she said, very demurely : “ I think I can.” T w o minutes for rapture. Then he said: “ I am afraid we must wait a long time before I can marry. ' But if you give me a ray of hope, I know I can in time make a home for you.” “ Stephen,” was the grave reply, “ if you were very rich, I very poor, ould you still love me ?” “ T ill death,” he said as gravely. “ Then it must make no diflerem that 1 am rich— You thought F a n n ie and I were sisters, working at our needles for bread ?” “ And are you not ?” “ N o , we are cousins.

He is, says the Albany E x press, one of the half dozen men in public life who know just-, what they believe on the Tariff question and just why they believe it.. This is the CQn- sideration which attaches interest to his views; they are plain, intelligible and devoid of all narrow selfishness, trimming and inconsistency. Discussing the p resent surplus reve nue laws of the national government, the ex-Senatbr says in the columns of the New York Tribune r The direst qnestion involved Is whether the country ia more proEperous under the present system of onstoms taxation than it would be if that system were abolished. This is the entire Tariff “question” in a nutshell, so far as the disposition of the surplus revenue is concerned. The Democratic party, under the lead of President Cleveland, is engaged in a Free Trade attem p t to destroy the Protective tariff. The question is whether the Protective Tariff shall be broken down or whether it shall be re tained. It is a square question be tween F ree Trade and Protection. No insinuation that it is a question of con- eZiiion rather than theory will have any weight, although advanced by the President himself. If the matter Le simply that of a surplus revenue, the entire surplus could be immediately out off by abolishing the Internal Rev enue system. B u t the Free Trade tneory demands ihe breaking down of the Protective Tariff. Mr. Miller believes, as do all Pro tectionists, that the revenue of the government should be reduced. I t is a fact patent to the dullest intellect that the government is collecting more money than it needs; and it necessa rily follows that a reduction of the reve nue should be made. It is not a ques tion of revenue reduction or no revenue reduction, but whether reduction shall be carried out on the plan of the Free Trader or the ProtsoUonist. ago.

Sound Business M axim s. Action is really the life of business. Use every means to hold on to the home trade. Great bargains can only be secured in any market by being on the spot. Always keep your designs and busi- nesB from the knowledge of others. It is easy to sell goods if they are well suited to your trade and bought right.

Success secures the approbation of the world, for as the wise man s a y s : “Men will praise thee when thou doest well for thyself.” Study the history of current events; make careful comparisons of the fluc tuations in price, in demand and in supply, in order to guide your own operations by the lessons these facts impart.

In the m atter of Tariff reduction, however he takes a thoroughly consistent attitude as Protectionist. He does not believe in throwing off the duties on raw mate rials, which would be a purely Free Trade move. His advice is to decid edly reduce or repeal the Tariff duty on sugar. The sugar duty has been a failure; for it has been demonstrated that the United States cannot produce sugar in sufficient quantity to meet the domestic demand. Consumption is growing at a greater pace than pro duction. Tha Louisiana sugar grow ers might be protected by a bounty in case the duty should be repealed. This change in tha ta r i f f would effect a re duction in revenue of at least forty or fifty millions of dollars. Mr. Millet’s ideas of Internal Reve nue reduction are that the taxes on tobacco should be repealed and also the tax on all alcohol used in the mechanical arts. Another reduction would thereby be made of easily $ 40 , 000,000, without disturbing the whisky The President’s plan for “free-raw- materials” means a direct move toward a policy of complete Free Trade. Its adoption would mean the demoraliza tion of labor and capital and their ex posure to the fierce competition of foreign labor and capital. The effect would not be confined to one class of workmen or one class of manufactur ers. The pressure of labor thrown out of epQployment would affect the general prosperity of the country and with it branch of labor. “All the people country who labor at all,” says Mr. Miller, “are benefitted directly in their increased rate of wages by Pro tection. The only class of men who would be benefitted by the overthrow of Protection are those who do not work but live on fixed incomes.” The sum and substance of the entire matter is that President Cleveland and the Democratic party are using. the surplus revenue collected by the gov ernment as a pretext in accordance with the traditional Democratic doc trine Of F ree Trade. The Republican party, while willing to correct any in justices or inequalities in the Tariff which may be developed, adheres firmly to the doctrine of Protection for Amer ican Labor and Industry. every br in this c i f ; London’s BoUsious Life.

This is a good world to sin in ; but, SO far as men are concerned, it is a very hard world to repent in. It is a bitter world; it is a cruel world. Poverty is very good in poems, but it is very bad in a house. I t is very good in maxims and sermons, b u t it is very bad in practical life. A cow is the saint of the barnyard. She could be fat if she only would be selfish. But she economizes beauty that she may be profuse in milk. No city bred man has any business to expect satisfaction in a pure country life for two months unless he has a genius for leisure and even laziness. Debt rolls a man over and over, bind ing him hand and foot and letting him bang upon the fatal mesh until the long legged interest devours him. Our government is built upon the vote. But votes that are purchasable are quicksands, and a government built on them stands upon corruption and revolution. A man is a-great bundle of tools. He is born into this life without the knowledge of how to use them. Edu cation is the process of learning their use, and dangers and troubles are God’s whetstones with which to keep them sharp.— Appleton's ‘^Troverbs from Plym o u th Pulpit.\ he Land Tenures in France. France is a country of varieties and of differences ; her climate, her soil, her scenery, her agricultural ptactices, her land tenures are no less diversified than her crops. Every climate, ex cept that o f the tropics, is represented in the country. Her soil is on the whole superior to that of England, and in one respect she has a marked advantage. .Berri has its brandes, Gascony its landes. Champagne its bald, dusty chalk hills j but through out the length and ’oreadth of the country there are none of those stub born clays which break the heart of the English farmer. Her scenery is said to be monotonous ; yet every dis trict, even of those which bear no marked features, differs from its neigh bor. T h e rolling, treeless, uninclosed plains of Picardy are totally unlike the small, well-wooded, double-hedged fields o f Normandy, or the closertes of Anjon, or the corpse-dad labyrinth of short, choppy hills and valleys of the Vendeau hocage, where the peasantry could literally fulfill the command s'egailler, and disperse themselves like dew. T h e uniformity of English agriculture, land tenures,, and civiliza tion imprint monotony on much o f her rural economy. But throughout France diversities of climate, land ownership, and land tenure have left their mark. Here farm laborers are hired by the year, and are lodged and fed in the farmhouse; here they have separate homes—houses which they have purchased whh their sayings— and small ptoperties that supplement, their weekly wages. Here each flock of sheep Is the property of single own ers ; here of many Provencal sheep- masters 5 here, as in Champagne, the c o m m o n h e r d s m a n le a d s t h e flo c k s o f the villagers to the pastures. Here is a metayer or a maitre valet; here a peasant proprietor, of a Picard, holding under the droit de marehe ; here a rack- rented tenant farmer, or a Breton damanier a congement. Each different system of lan d ' tenure affects the grouping of the rural population. In Seinc-ct-Marnc or Somme large fiirms and farmsteads, isolated from one -another, are the rule, a», on a smaller scale, they are in Brittany.

Hays the Philadelphia Dispatch. The man’s hair was as whi(e as snow, and hia patriarchal beard fell in waves on the bosom of old fashioned ruffled shirt. The sun g littered on h is p atent leather pumps that he hadn’t worn before for twenty-five years, and his black cutaway coat with its velvet col lar showed that it was out many years ago. His sfovepipe hat belonged to ' the back-numbered model of high h ats that were worn by the ancient s w i ^ of this city, and his cane, on which h e ~ leaned heavily, was full of little k n e ^ like an Irish blackthorn. The woman was dressed in the g afb_ of a Quakeress, s n d IbeneKllx old fashioned, steel-colored, straight bonnet peeped pretty silver curls. Everybody turned and looked after the old folks as they slowly walked up , from the ferry. ’Squire Schmidt, Gam- den’s German justice, was stroking h is beautiful sorrel-colored 'whiskers in his cigar store and police court on Market street near Third, when he heard* vpice in the store s a y : “Well, Emma, here it is a t last,-” and the next instant the old couple walked in. The old man made a dignified salute and hia quaint companion' made a courtesy. ’Squire Schmidt slipped back of the cigar counter and said, “Strong or mild ?” The old man said he never smoked, and they said in chorus: “We want to get married, sir.” Since the passage of the Pennsyl vania marriage law Camden ’aquireB are prepared for any surprise in the matrimonial line, and ’Squire Sofanudt liebly replied: “Certainly.” H e s u d knew that they were above the re? quired age, and supposed they h adn’t eloped, and i t they waited a few min utes he would call in witnesses. ’Squire Schmidt called in barber Charley Dreher, •who keeps a tonsorial palace across the way from the justice’s-offioe, and lawyer Richard Rigway, Jr., whose office is near by,, was also invited to come over to the'squire’s. They were the witnesses to the tying of the n i ^ tial knot, which was done in ’Squire Schmidt’s most solemn snd impressive The groom said he was Charles Brooks, the old-time dancing master, who taught many a Fishtown belle more than fifty years ago to dance the “herring hornpipe,” and the “Kensing ton swing” and the “gunners run rac quet,” dances that were so popular in those days. He said he was e i g h t y f c yeaVs old. The bride was Emma Elrich, and she modestly said that the zephers of sixty-eight summers had fanned h er cheeks that no longer blush like the roses. Before the justice made them man and wife, dancing master Brooks told a romantic -story. He said he was about to fulfill a promise he made over fifty years ago. The woman he waa about to make his wife had won hifl heart over half a century ago. They were lovers then. She was the daugh ter of a well-to-do Jersey farmer, and was one of the prettiest girls in.

L e t him carry some of the bundles. He„will b* delighted to do these things, and feel proud that she can depend on him. A boy likes to be thought manly, and in no better way can he show his manli ness than by taking .his father’s place as an escort of mother or sister. Teach him to lift his h at when meeting a woman with whom he or his ffimily are acquainted, without regmd to race, color or position, for the true gentle man will lift hia hat as readOy to the woman at the fruit stand with whom he has a speaking acquaintance as h e will to the highest in the land. H e cares n o t for h er position; it is enough for him that she is a woman. Teach him, also, to lift hia h a t when passing a gentleman acquaintance with whom there is a lady, although the latter .be a stranger to him.
