The answer to this question involves three - pames—Rothschild. Bismarek. Andrassy. First. as to Rothschild. The sympathy of the Bebrews all over toe world_has been with Tur- key and against Russiz. Russia, in the ninc- teenth century, has oppressed and persccuted she Jews with the most bitter and malignant "The hatred of the Greek Church for the Jews to-day- is as fntense as was that of come of the bigoted Catholics in the Middle Sires for that long suifering and persecuted Tace. The suceess of the Russian arms against Tarkey filled the Jews with indiznation and alaria. The Turks in their rule in Europe and in Asia have been tolerant alike to Christian and 10 Jew; it may besaid they have been forced 10 award this tolersnce; but it was not.in viola- on of their faith mor of the will of their great Prophet, for to this dav tnere cxists the enthenticated manuscript of the famous decrec . of- Mohammed, in°which ne commands the faithfal o sbstain from persecutingand to treat with charity and kindness the Jews and Chris- tians dwelliog, under their rule. Bat, against the personal wishes of the Czar, the blind and bitter hatred of the Russians for the Jews con- tiually manifests itself, and their persecutio of the choscn people has never ceased. ! Russia was forced to make great pecuniary racrifices to keep her armies in the fleld; she taxed her monetary resources to the utwmosts and when the San Stefapo treaty had been ne- rotiated aod the question of war or peace hung trembling in the balance, she found to her dis- may that if she ventiired upon a war with En- rland she must reckion with-a potent foe, of whose existence she had hitherto been disdain-- ful, if not fgnorant. = c This foe was the most Continefital Earope. . All'bankers are not Jews. But . the Hebrew element among. the money-lenders and the money-masters of Europe is so widespread and so powerfal that it was easy for it to effect combinatiors by which Russia was sbur out * from the privileze of DOrTOWIngZ money to cou- tinne to repew her march of conquest. She tried to borrow in Enzland—uno money! She sought to eflect 2 loan in Paris—no money! She Intrigued throush her most skillful agents o all the minor Bourses of Europe,—not a youble could she obtain. And now, as you will - probably learn in 2 few davs, she is 10 such- desperate financial straits that, as 2 last resort, ~sbe is about to call upon her patriotic subjects —if she have any—to put their kands in their pockets and lend Lier their own money,—if they Bave any, which is doudtfal. 2 * Yes!

He was a member of the Royal-Arch Masons, Knights Templar, and Independent Order of Odd-Fellows, and held offices in’ various lodges, commanderies, 2nd encampments. He died is June, 1877, and left a widow and five- grown daughters, all but one of them married. He-and his wife, who were of English extraction, had for. years been the warm fricnds of Mr. and Mrs. Willlam Ecmble, of No. 68 Myrtle arenue, who were also .Englisk. Mr. Kemble was for cighteen years a bookkeeper in the office of the Brooklyn Gas-Light Company, in Remsenstreet, at a zood salary, and dicd at Nov. 10. 1876. of apoplexy. Mrs. Keruble is now 55 years old aud Mrs. Karn 60. In the latter part of 1876 a youne man named James James, or, as others sa¥, Harry Bancroft ames,was received as a lodger by Mrs. Kemble. He is about 30 years old. She.had some $4,000 in'bank, and on July 10, 1877, he marricd her in spite of the orotests of her married dauzhters. Atcording to Mrs. James, irs. Karn visited her with fincreasing frequency sfter her marriage. «)Mrs. Karn nsed Lo say, * Our lives bave been 50 similar, we are about the same sge, we have bouh raised a family of daughters, otr husbands gied zbout the same time, only now you have married a young busband.’ That seemed to rouse her envy. ‘Bt 1 cheered her up and ad- vised her to marry a young husband too. Well, she got more and more jealous of me. She kept my busbend in.cizars, and often made him pres- ents. Sbe would contrive to have him walk homne with her in the long winter evenings. My neigiibors used to say, * Haven't you any eyes¥ and when I asked what they meant they said, ¢ \Why, that woman’s trying to steal your bus- band away from yow.”” i On March 23 James disappeared, and with him Mrs. Earn, and Mr. aid Mrs. Post, her daughter and son-in:law. Sbhe had some money which bad been subscribed by Mr. Karn’s Masonic brethran, all of which she gave to Jnmu,“gnd the whole' party started toretber for the West on March 28. They settled in Kaosas City, awuere Janes opened a restaursnt on Main street. The vénture proved a fatlure. and soon the capital furnished by Mrs. Karn disappeared. When_the - money was zoue Jawes abandoned Mrs. Karn, who then telecraphed to an uncle in Brooklyn, 3 Mr.. Hall, for money. He did not reply, and she-wrote him imploring letters, whichi it is said he burved. el About thie time James thouzht it was time for him to come home. His money was _gane, and be had no meaus of support. Accordingly, he wrote to his wife a_letter begminz for for- riveness. Upon receiving tois her anger sub- sided. . She called off the detective wirom she -had had on the case and abanddned a false clue they bad been following in Troy. - She seat him £50 for traveling expenses and assured him that his faitklcssnees should be forgiven and for- tten. He got home the last dayin May. irs. Karn, with-Mr. and Mre. Post, made their way to Chicago, where they Werfl.assi-slui by the Masonic_Relief Association. They started at once for Brooklyn and arrived 2 wesi later than James: The threcmade their home with Mr. Charles Nefey, a son-in-law of Mrs. Karn, who _lives in Eleventh street, Soath Brooklyn. % About three weeks ago,” said Mrs. James last cvening; ** Mrs. Karn sent her daughter to me in the morning. before Iwas up. with the “message that she was dying, and could not go to the next world withont my forgiveness.

London _Truth. The Court mourning was-strictly adhered to inside the Royal inclosure at Ascot on ‘the first three days. On Thursday the only exceptions were two ladies each in their own way rather eccentric.* The one, the wife of a_Yorkshire baronet, was resplendent in a costume of red- dish magenta striped velvet; the other fady was I white, but with a wreath of real Gloire de Dijon roses utder the wide brim'of her bat. On Friday the ladies burst out_after their short fit of sackeloth into 2 bluze of cotors, but L am bound to say that.those Who retained their -mourning looked much the best. The Duchess of Manchester, witli ber black frock braided in gold and silver, and Lady Westmoreland, it black sutin and bugles, looked well. Among the “colored . dresses “the favorite color and material :were thoroughty —unsatisfactory; Lady Craven, Lady Skelmersdale, and others svorted it. "The materiul was a stamped and firrured veivet, the color variousshades of a vel- 10wish olive green, in ove case mixed with lizht blue 2nd iu the othier- with pale pink. “But the pal of bad taste in dress must undoubtedly be awarded to the beautiful lady who makes the fortunes of the photographic shops. Nothing could well be in, worse taste than her black dress, with eross sashes of . crimson, the bottom of the dress being _of crimsou, covered with black lace, and bood of the same color hanging between the shoulders.. One young lady was certainly very . remarkable 1 light green silk dress trimmed with broad bands ot black silk covered ‘with. ‘large yellow datlias in raised worsted worlk, and a “sailor’ shirt-collar of the same. These phenomena of worsted work may be - restorea to the use they were originally intended © for, as ~ stauds for = - fiower-vases such a8 ornament the stalls of all provinelal charity - buzaars. Lady Rosebery wore a rich white icorded silk with white lacc and parasol to match. Talking of parasols, 1t is to be ‘hoped the practice of embroiderinz the fair owner’siinitinls on them is ot mojuz to extend. One.lady had ber Initials embroldered on her parasol in raised old, but this absurdity was_exceeded by an: other whose parasol bore on it her petit nom, in letters supposed to imitate her sienature to her . Intimates. If this sort of thing goes on we shall have all the great Jadics of the Kingdom addressed as the Pollies, and_Sallies, and, Tot-. tics that are inscribed on their parasols.

BricanTINE BEACH, July 16.—The guests of the Holdzkom House had just sat down to din- mer. to-day when Capt. James Holdzlom came rushing ioto the Gining-room. ' His face was white, his hands were thrown in the air, and the -appearance of the man not less thao the words he uttercd iudicated that he was in- decd frightened. “For .God’s sake, where's Bill2” he yelled. *Call Bill!" tWhat's the matter? What is {t?” shouted a dozen volees at ouce, and ‘the’ room was in great confusion. James threw hiiself 1010 a chair and told, with many féarful -glabces over” his ‘shoulder, that, having been out fishing' near Portey’s, otlierwise Brigantine Inlet, he observed to seaward a great cowmotion in the water, Looking at it with much carioslty; be 8oon §aw a bright red head,” shaped like a horse’a head, out'of which gleamn- ed.a yellow eye, come up tarough the foam. He immediately hauled his sheet aft ana steer- ed for toe inlet. The animal, fish, or whatever .| it wae, held its head out of the water fully thir- wen feet, and then dove. It was then in five fathoms of water, and he ran his boat oo to the beach and traveled- pretty keenly for the house. HARD TO BELIEVE. Now, Capt.

After dinuer, during the proaress of which meal much ‘snake -talk, was indulged in, the people sauntéred down £o Tescue the boat that Captain Jim had left when he got into low watcr. So much of his story as related to the _boat and his hasty departure {rom her when she stranded was demonstrated instantly apon our arrival there. It would séem by tie track marks that Jim bad jumped from the rail-about sixteen feet, snd each stride up _the sand pus him. at least nine fect further. from the Thing he flew from. The boat Was' properly cared for and the. procession moved up the beach to the bathing- houses, wondering what had corme over Capt. Jim, whose nerves Lad never been ehaken be- fore, it was satd, and whose courage as one of the life-saving cres has, on more than ooe oc- casfon, been bravely shown. - Hall au hour af- terward a scream from some ' ladies gathering shells on the beach .attracted the attention of ihe party, among them the writer, who were seated in the bath-house plaza. Looking in that direction we saw Mrs. SBeymour running up the beach towards ‘us and. glancing over her shoul- der. In the direction she pointed there was® the ‘sea-fnonster, which, for lack of a better pame, 1 will call ‘a_soa-serpent until naturalists have decided what it really is. - : A GENERAL STAMPEDE. A Twenty years ago’ the stcamship Jewess was wrecked on this coast;snd her iron boilers stand out of the surf ddf'ing the action of the waves. The tide never” lcaves it entircly -bare and at this time, the water beinz high, there Was quite a stretch of "green' sea, bordered on each side by the surf, that broke over the wreck first ana then ran high on the strand: But just between the shore and the wreck was the Tuine that Capt. Jim had scen 8o hour before. His hasty description did - more than_justice to its appéarance, for as the long head, bung to the neck like o horse’s, turned seaward aod shore- ward, it was easy to see thet it was eovered with scales, whicn glistened in the sun and were red, ercen, and yellow 8s the strong light glistened upon them. To say that cousternation fell upon the party at tbe. plaza is-to do jus- tice to the scepe that ensued. The ladies ran gcreaming to the nouse and the men followed, at a_slower pace. - Perhans Victor Hugo, in the **Toilers of the Ses,” based his description of the devil-fish upon the sight of some ‘sueh creature as the one rearinx his head ont of the water and apparently watching the retreatine frigitened people., A herd of cattle nipninz the salt grass on a sand-hill gear by attracted its attention, and its eyes remained turncd In that divection for a moment, and then it waye vent to 2 terrible noise ihat resounded loud over the roar of thesurf. It was a mellow tone, like that of a tremendous fog-horn, long- continued and reverbersting. . By this time the ‘people on the island were in a great state of ex- citement. . The Holdzkom House stands about 250.yards from the preak-of the water, and the fishcrmen and visitars jostled eaeh other on the scaward piazza. All eyes turned toward the Serpent. The appearance of . sen mousters is of such rare occurrence that there is no formula of feeling or fright arrauged by precedent, but I sup- Poso the geieral imoression may be fairly Jikened to that producca by a ghost or other uncanny thing being suddeuly present ina cir- cle of superstitions peovle. As I write the monster is still in sight, evidently fouled in the debris of the wreck, and 2 seore or more of men aré standing about, oceaslonally shooting at it \with shotzuns and myskets, but witbout effect so far. Although the feeliung of fear has zen- erally passcd awar, tacre is still much mental cominotion, and many Jadies of the bouse have double-bolted their doors aand Ilu‘l.ival{ gaze at the creaturc - from partly-closed window- shutters. v 3 THE SERPENT CAGED. ~ ° The snake avine remained in the position which hié was scen_the second time, the men finally ventared closer.

It is evident that his body is caught about the mid- dle, and his tail, which is not shown, must be as the part of the body which he raises and thrashes.-about in the uir. His convolutions bécame inore desperate and Trantic as tie tide fell and his_copstant motion renders it impossible to describe him with any freat degrce of ‘accuracy. His bead, as Dhas béen stated, is not unlike a horse’s and is sct at right angles to thie neck, which is loug and about two feet ir dreumfcrence. This neck is, say, seven fcct Jobg, and runs fnto a pair of shouiders without arms, at which point- the Thine is thickest. From this maximum cir- cumference the body tapers slightly. The neck §s very sinuous, suggestive of the absence of “bonesof auy kind, while the part back of the shoulders i3 certainly built” on vetebre, for _when the.

The eyes arc placed well up on I'he mouth is small, extending diag- onally from the lower outer corner of the head, in a line which, if catendea, would cut the neck about balf way to_the shoulders..

Lord Beaconsfield toboa- Jew, or, at ‘least of Jewish extraction, but it Is not generally known how it happened that he is. ‘no’longer a member of the synaeogue. ¥ The’ family of Disraeliis as ancient as many of the ' noblest houses. of. Great Biitain. In_the fif-: .téenth century the ancestors of the present Premler were settled in Spain, where they were powerfal and wealthy ‘merchants, but whenee toward the close of that century they weré driven by the persecutions of the lnguisition to seek ' refuge In the territorics of the Venetian, Republic. *“There,”’ says "Lord Beaconstield in_his ~preface - to his father’s works, ‘*‘grateful ‘to the.God of - Jacob, who bad' sustained * them - through unprecedented trials ‘an@ guarded them- tbrough unheard-of perils, they assumed the name of D'Igraeli—a’ name never borne before or since by any- uther family—in order that their rave might be for- ever -recognized.” - The - family prospered in Veuice as they had prospered: in Spain, and in 1745 Benfamin Disracli’ retired from business and settled at Enfield in England, where, as his erandson relates, ke passed his time in playing whist with Sir Horace Mann, in eating macaroni cooked by the Venetian Consul, and in singing | the canzouetti of sunny Italy. ‘This Benjamin Disraelf was that practical ancestor of the pres- ent Lord Beaconsfield, whom he is-said to resemble somewhat in character. Ile was the friend *of Walpole,” and, at Enfleld and at Bradenham House Buckss he entertained many distioguished men and " pnssed a life of luxurious eage. -He was, neverthcless, an ob- servant Jew, and a member of the Spanish and | Portuguese Synagoguc in London. In 1752 he accepted the position of I[nspcctor of the Por- ‘turuese Coarity Schodl, and heid other offices of hooor. - He kept up his connection with the Synagorrue up to the time of his death, which ocentred in 1816, when -he was buried in the Jewlsh Cemetery, Mile End rond; London, where a tombstone with the’following inscription is still to be sees .

Two, years later his eldest son, Benjamin, the present Lord Beaconstield, was born also at Enfield. At that time Iseac Disraell wes a member of the Bevis Marks Synagozue, aad, slthough be was not a rezular attendant at the services— which In those days, before the light of reform bad begun to shine amonz the English Jews, were quite out of keepivg with the views of ro well educated and enhizhtened a man—he never- cheiess contributed liberally to the support of the congregation: His son Benjamin was initinted into the Abrahamic covenant, as were also bis two younger sone, Ralph and James, by *Mr. David- Abarbaned Lindo, the 30Ad of the congregation.

In1818, whei the present Lord Beaconsfleld was 9 years old, an event occurred which led to the Seces- siont of the family from the synazogue, aud which certainly . must have excrcised a great influence upon the future career of Lord Beac- onsfield. But for this event e would most probably have becomne and remained—ivhat he has never beei—a practising Jew. "The occurrence to which we refer was bricfly this: The Bevis Marks ‘congregation. at an gu- nual election, chose Mr. isaac Disracli for Par- nass, or President, an oflice which. because of his advanced ace and engrossing literary occu- pations, he declined to accept. According to congregational usage, however, he was obliged to sccept the olection or submit to a fine, and he was accordingly fined £40. ‘Ihis pevalty the father of Lord Beaconsficld refused to pay, and, when the congrezation insisted upon depriving him of the privileges of membership in default of payment, he withdrew from the synazocue altoether. On Mareh 14, 1814, he wrote to the ‘Wardens as follows: “ 1 have pationtly sought for protection amainst the absard choice of Lwo or three injudicious in- divividuels, bat Ifind that you, as a body, ssnc- tion what your own laws will not aflow.

In May, 1814, Isaac Disracli’s sister obtaned permission of the authoritics to erect & _new tombstone over ner Tusband’s zrave in the Mile End Road Cem- ctery. In November, 1316, Mr. Benjamin Dicraelt was buried in the samc cemetery, the seryices being beld by the minister of the Bevis Marks Synazogae, bis son, Isaac crowned with_ floral tributes, to be more than 160. .

If we wish to escapa sunstroke, even in its mitigated form of lan- “gour, lassitude; and drowsiness, we must keep oursclves cool; and to &o this as it ouzbt to be | done we must take precautions against the ticat before it bursts. upon us. Those who wish to know how this can best ‘be effected hiave only to pay 2. short visit. to Paris ‘during the sultriest wecks of August.

Along the boulevards and in most of the principal ‘avenues, larze trees gratefullv cool the atmospbere, and suggest a pleasant sort of lotus-cating dream of wood and field. Each thoroughfare has its. shady side, and, in- stead of the repulsive London **publiy,” one comes at every few huadred yards across some little cafe, with its awning drawn over the oave- ment, and with chairs and marble tables, where the thirsty soul who demands of the garcon even a cup of cold water and tenders for it his three half-peice, will receive a cour- teous welcome. As for the French ““drinks,”— cups that, unlike the English **pee” of *‘sodn and brandy,” *cool but not inebriate,"—their oraises cannot be too loudly sung or too widely spread. In but few English households is the nature of “‘orgeat ” known, or _the true use of raspberry vinegar understood; in but few En- zlish hotels is the carafe put upon the table, its contents a solidly- frozen mass of crystal. In- deed, of life in ot weather, as of lifc at the sea-side, and of divers other matters in which personal comfort is the chiet consideration, we cannot but admit, bowever reluctantly, that “they mange these things better in France.” The reason, perhaps, is not so much that weare less careful for our comfort than our neighbors, as that We are more governed by commercial instinet. Serious provision agaiost summer fn- volves consiacrable outlay, and in a climate where we know not what a day may bring forth, people do not believe in a summer until they see it, and by the time they have taken two or three days to make sure of it, it may very pos- sibly bave come to an end. =3 i N, A COLORADO ROMANCE. ‘Pragical Death of & Female Worse-Thief Denver (Col.) Tribune. July 13, 3 Attorney-General Sampson yesterdsy returned from a trip along the Upper Arkansas. While making the trip he came very near befog a wit- ness of a remarkable tragedy, which oceurred near alittle town called Buena Vista, in Lake County, last Taesday morning. Some time during the early part of the month three horses and two mules werc stolen from San Luis Park. They are faid to have been the oroperty of a Mr. Humphrey, of Cavon City. Wken these auimals disappeared it became in- cumbent moon the eathorities to see that they were restored to their legitimate owners, and that the rogues should be awarded the fall meed of justice. Deputy-Sheriff Witherow, of Costilla County, volunteered to head a party to goin'pursuit. He found one or two follow- ers at Garland, and, finding the trail of the do- parting raseals, followed fn close pursait. They had headed towards the Upper Arkansas country, and in’ that direction Mr. Witkerow and his litule band started 1 pursuit. At South Arkasas thoy reccived the glad tidings that two men with three horses and two mules in tow had preceded them but ashort while. Here the pursuiuz party was reinforced by the addi- tion of three men, and the party of the Deputy- Sheriff, thus augmented, pushed on in pursuit of the bold violutors of the Jaw. At every turn they beard that the thieves with their booty were fast making their way up the river, and thus spurred on by the bope of almoss certain and early snecess, the pursuers foliowed fast and followed faster. The rogues had evidently bad no tidings that they were in jeopardy, uad they seom to bave talcn things quite easily, making easy marches and camping overnizht without secking o Disraell, being present, and bi3_grandson, Lord Beaconsfleld, then 12 Years old (according to & riter in one of the London Jewish papers), also attended.

C.C Fulton fu Baltimore American. The cemetery at Munich always has attrac- tions. to the visiior on account of the peculiar- ity of funerals and the exvosure of the bodics of the dead for three days before burial. The law requires the body of every one dying in Munich tobe conveyed tothe cemetery within three hours, there to remain, in buildings erected for” the purpose, for three dass. Duriug these three daysa wire is attached to the hands of ach corpse, leading to a spring bell, so that an alarm will be given to those whose duty it is to be on guard in case of resuscitation. We could not ascertain whether therc had over beena case of resuscitation, but it appears that a long time sgo a case of burial alive had led toihe establishment of this custom,-whici had been regularly kept up ever siuce, to avoid the recur- rence of such acatastrophe. We immeiiately proceeded to . the first of these halls; in_which the bodies of the poor were depositcd, and there found eizhteen. bodies not laid. out as il for burial, but reclining in_ floral bowers or restirg upon beds of flowers. ' Spectators were not ad- mitted 1o the rooms, buc they were surronnded be windows througn ‘which ¢ full view and inispoction of_each could be had. - There were elohtcen bodfesin this room, seven of which were infants end eleven those of rown er- gons, except -oue beuutiful girl ol about 12 years_arrayed in white muslin, resting on 2 bed of flowers, with a_wreath of orange blos- soms around_her head, reclining nsif asleep, with her arms flung carelessly by ber side.

Monday misht the Sheriffs posse came up and discovered that their game was in slzht. Nomove was made unsil the dawn of the next morning. Iy was just a few minutes bofore suorise that th8y went up to reconnoiter. They found the thicvés_ alréady astir, and be- ing, as they thought, prepared to take them i charge then, the posse, with Mr. Witherow at its head, ordered an unconditional surrender. ‘Ihe two men—such they must vet be called— saw their situation at a zlauce, 2nd made up their minds gquickly. Their decision was made known to each other in asecond, and it was, escape or death. They announced as much by replying to the demand for a surrender with.a shot.. This was thesignal for the bezinning of a skirmish which lusted several minutes. The borse-thieves ran down to the river and tried to secure themselves bebind the bank of the stream. It became necessary, therefure, for Mr. Witherow to diride hus forces, and he gent two men across tic river-whee they conld have fair vicw of the encmy. ‘The smaller of the two bud anafy revalyer and the larger s car- bine, cach firing two shots.

That the aliizator should attack an ox will be surprising news even to those who are thor- ouzhly familiar with the Labits of the fresh-: water monster. The Jloridan has. been fur- - nisbed by an_ejc-witness with the Interestiog details of the siranzc encounter last week at- ke Juckson. The ox went ioto the lake to drink, and was attacked by the ailizator, wovse month closed on ‘tae forelez of the . animal,” crushing the bone.

Meantime the edge of the lake was biack with the soouts of allizators which bad smelled the blood that ran from ‘the ‘ox . when first struck in the water.
