And T have trusted that, so far as T know, neless business and social life would be the best answer. I have only made public witnesses in those matters where the honor or integrity of others has_been concerned. 1 1 had entered into_explanation of any one of them, and failed to enter into an_explanation of all of them, the fact of answering one and not answer- ing the others would have been taken te be a confession of the truthfulness of the unanswered ones, the cry being immediately raised, *“well, he a ed one which he could answe thers which are unaswered he could not ansewr.” Perhaps it might not be uninterest ing to you to know that imediate after the war suits were brought minst me aggregating, in claims of damages, quite a million of dollars, in the courts of New York and Baltimore upon every matter where the pursuers thought 1'had either exceeded my au thority or acted wrongful Threo of those suits have been tried, and 1 have been sustained in each caso by the courts, and all the others have been discontinued or left silently to slumber more than 15 years.

He rose from the working class, but does not ap- pear to have any sympathy with it or with humanity in any shape. HEBREW WERALTH. This class of our citizens holds an immense amount of wealth, but. it is chiefly in personal property which es- capes taxation, and is more easily han. dled than real estate. The Hebrews are increasing ina very marked do- gree, both in property and influence. O1d as the race may be, it exhibits no effeto features. While other nations have gone out of existence, and mere- Iy hold a place in_ history, the Jews are on the advance, and are rapidly growing in the power of gold. One of the richest Hebrews in this city is August Belmont, who is probably worth £3,000,000. This has been nearly yie traits give the Jews an ml\'.'m!n;‘_m which they are_rapidly improving in ground. tho monke around, disturbs tho trigger, and the | antbis! that no sooneris the man out of mght { than the monkeys race helter-skelter THE OMAHA DAILY BEE-~-SATURDAY MORNING MAY 14 1881 childs, has had the greatest advan- tages. He has avoided specula. tion and applied himself dely to this specialty, nvestigating the profits in first-class securities. He has never been ad- dicted to real estate purchases, and the splendid houso which the family ocoupy in the Fifth avenue was given by him to his wife as a bridal prosent. Belmont_does not associato with the Jews, and his family attend the Epis- cupal chiurch, but personally apeaking | he acknowlédges the control of the Hebrew_ custonge in_which To waa brought up. Beluiot is now jdt three score and ten. He came hither from Germany forty years ago, his name then being Schonberg, which he changed into the present = nious title. Aside from Belmont the record of Hebrew wealth includes the Seligmans, the Bernheimens, tho Marx family, the Stetheimers and Sterns, d others who might be mentioned in the same connect! REAL BSTATR FAMILY. Although the Hebrews as a riation are not addicted to réal estate, this city contains one family which is noted for this kind of wealth. 1 al- lude to the Hendricks, who are almost the onlly Jews engaged in the traffic of iron, brassand other metals. This family is one of the oldest in the city. The first New York Directory, pub- lished in 1786, contains the name of ““Uriah Hendricks, iron mongery, 43 Hanover aquare.” The same direc- tory contains the name of Peter Goe- lot, 43 Hanover Bquare The Intter was also a dealer in iron ware; but the business was long _since diseon t las all thi ven; tinued, while the Hendricks have 1if we do but watch the hour, romained in operation.

Rutland (V) Herald, A notable old lady is Mrs. Law- rence, of Craftsbury. She is 71 years old, and for six years past has been totally blind. During the past two years, nevertheless, she has spun, doubled, twisted and knit 1,400 knots of yamn, making everything from a man's cap to a syrup strainer. Oneof theso years she has taken care of the butter of ten cows, with the assist- ance of a girl 10 years old, and also assisted about the cooking and general housework. She has never but once during these years made a misstep, at that time falling from the piazza to the read, breaking one wrist and spraining one ankle, from which in- jury she has never fully recovered. Transatlantic Grop Prospects. New York Herald. The official British weather reports give no very encouraging indications of the agricultural yield in the United Kingdom for the coming season. Backward as tho spring was in this country, it was no less so on the other side of the Atlantic. “The cold in Great Britain,” says the London me- teorological office, **has been consider- ably greater in all districts than it was last year,"” the season resembling that of "1879. ““A more trying time for agriculturists than we experienced from the mfli’p‘fl of January to the early part of March,” the office adds, ‘it would be difficult to im- agine.” A Dundee report as late as April 20 says:—‘More serious weather than has prevailed in Scot- land for the past six months is not made in the banking business, in which Belmont,as agent for the Roths- R T tien.” The persistency of severd weather was also continued up to the V | side. remembered 1n the present genera- | last week of April, the London Times reported on the 21t thai *‘temperature was low overywhere and the weather very cold for the time of year,” and a freézing spell the mext day reported from the continent. It thus secms probable that the season and conse- quently the agricultural operations dependent upon it were at the Ist of May less promising in Europe than hero. But, dospite tho drawhacks | which agriculture has suffered from | this_spring on both sides of the At- | lantic, there is no reason for discous ?geml-nl. Ko faatitre of the current measom has heen developed, and the general Gutlis favorable for good crops.
