BLASTS FROM THE BIG HORN. A Rogion Rapidly Reaching for Wyoming's Progressive Plume, REFLECTIONS FROM MONTANA'S GEMS, The Vel Harvest — Dakots Tin Lands—A Col of Northwest N Park—California’s Fruit and School nmary watone plete 8 Contral Wyoming has set a vrogressive puce that will so0on make the southern sec- tion hump itself to keep in sight. It is a ourious fact, says a correspondent of the Chi- ougo Inter-Ocean, that the highest agricul- tural development Wyoming has is to be found not along the old lines of transconti- nental railroads or the great overland trails, but in the remote and littlo known Big Horn country. Along the flanks of this range are towns over 100 miles from any railroad that numbor ,trom 800 to 1,500 iobabitants, and show to the visitor 8s thoroughly equipped systems of water works, s handsome public schools, aod as efticient electric lights as many un eastern @ity of more than ten times Lhéir population. e extotence. and prosperity of these towns is dne to ireigation, The }wr)nln who settled first in this region came from statos that knew nothing of the practice of irriga- tion. They were generally cattle men, Not ‘the picturesque but tough desperadoes, but college-bred men with active brains, backed up by strong, healthy bodies. Untrammeled Dy oid prejudices, often without any knowl- edge fehsrovor of fat ming, they were just the kind of men to try all kinds of experiments, A few years ugo the papers laughed at the sage ush farms. the coyote bpastures, the jack rabbit st ranges of Wyoming. To thero are over 6,000 farms, coveriag 1,500 acres T'wo-thirds of these farms are irr! crops, and over 240,000 acres in additio irrigated for grazing, The average the irrigated farms, or, more exactly, the irri- gated portions of Lhe dancues on which crops are raised, 15 119 acres. The average first cost of the water is £3. per acre, making the average total cost of th 8oil, broken and watered ready for cultiva- tion, #8 an acre. The average annual cost of water 1s 44 cents per acrs. The farmers usually own 640 acros, ob- tained under the desert acr, ana 160 acres as a homestead. Tuere are five United states land offices in the state, and their books show that the citizens have within ten years paid to the goverument over 32,000, 000 for desert lands, homesteads ana pre- emptions, 'wo million dollars paid out of the state for desert land for the privilege of proving to the world that it was fertile and could be reclaimed. ‘The B. & M. railroad is at the edge of this new empire, and nextseason will ses a swarm of visitors crowding in to see the battlefields of the Big Horn and settlers seeking lands to build homes on. The adventof the raiiroad means an outlet tor tha superabundant crops, the extension of the system of ditches an the cultivation of more land. The manu- facturers of the east, who aro coming to realize that they must seek the sources of fooa supply avd fuel, will come west to row up with the country. With increased rrigation and the estavlishment of manu- factories, the cattle ranches, that this vear sent 3,300 cars of cattle east from Gillette, will disappear in favor of the small farmer who will supply the manufacturing and mi ing interests. On every hill and in every _valo, almost,are resting the bones of pioneers “that opened the way for this new empire of irrigation. If they conld have dreamed that ovor their graves the iron horse would carry the immense crops reaped from their old In- dian pattle grounds, the fruits, wines and silks of California, the wheat and salwon of Oregon, the seal of Alaska, gold ana cattle of the Big Horn, they would have thought their imagination was running riot. Yet we fn turn fear to look ahead and run the risk of being called enthusinsts. Yellowstone Park. Laws governing the Yellowstone National park have accomplished their purpose—the preservation of wonderland as a national pleasuro ground. There is, however, grave urgency for the creation of a court or courts competent to visit adequate punishment on malicious trespassers and vandals. Local courts in Montana and Wyomng cannot ex- ercise jurisdiction, and all the federal authorities can do with offenders is to eject them from the park. Ihe splendid forests bave been fired ‘ime and again, game has been wantonly slaughtered and objects of beauty have been marred out of pure ma- liciousness. 'The troops stationed there can turn the lawless invaders out, but there is nothing to prevent their return. The Interior dcpartment has reported to congress that the Yk is *'without any legal protection to life, imb or property, and without the means of punishment for the most dastardly crime,” Grave crimes are of rare occurence in the park, but stages have been held up and many minor offences committed, for which no adequate punishment has beeén provided. Thousands of tourists visit the park everv year, it is one of the great attractions of the nation, and everything possible should be done to enbance its beauty and protect those whom it attracts. Despite the poachers who bave made away with the game, and in many instances through a wanton desire for slaughter, the many species of animals cultivated there have increased, but would be much greater if properly protected. There are more buffaloes in the park than in all the rest of the country while deer, elk and smaller game is abun ant. The hotel accommodations are good and the roads are boing improved, but there 18 demand for penal laws and the establish- ment of ajurisdiction by which they can be enforced. Senator Vest's bill, which has passed the senate term after term and been favorably reported to the house, covers the case properly,but on reaching the house it has beer saddled and killed by a provision grant- ing a richt of way through the park to some railroad corporation. The original bill should be made a law, and then there will be noth- ivg to detract from tto charms of the great natural wonder, Montans Gems, The sapphire fields of Montana will doubt- less be developed during the coming sum- mer. The English syndicate which has ex- changed something hke $2,000,000 for the ground, can hardly afford to let the invest- ment lio idle. Helena is naturally flurried over the deal which directly benefits its citi- zens and will be the meaus of developing new Industries, for the fie'ds are but a short distunce northeast of the city, in the Missouri valley. The grounds consist of 1,680 scres of patented laaa in tho eldorado bar, 1,250 acres are located on the west side of the river and above the bar, and about 1,400 on the east side, making a rotal of over 4,000 acres, About as much moro has been secured under a long lease, It is esti- mated that the ground will yieid $50,000 worth of gems per acro. The' presence of these stones in immenso quantities Las been know for years, but experts haye differed as to thelr value, else the development of the flelds would have occurred long ago. The gromourl of the English company are eaaed by the duke of Portland, and include nearly a hundrea titled gentlomen, whose wrostige would give the stones the stamp of fashion’s approval. It is sald the syndicete secured the grouud primarily for the placer gold that is known to exist there, aud that thelr operations will be in that line. They expect to make tho gold pay for tho property and all operating expen ses, ioaving the gems for clear profit. A. B, Wood, 8 noted min- fng enginoor of Detroit, has boen appointed goneral manager, and & large force of men will be put to work in a short time building flumes, and in other capacitios, Callfornia Fruit Shipments, Statistics of fruit shipments this year, which arenow fairly complete, show that Calfornia has produced a more valuable crop of fruits ana vegetables than in any provious year. Of oranges, no less than 80,000,000 pounds were shipped, while the total ship- ments of other groen fruits mmounted to 78,000,000 pounds. Dried fruit shipments reached the enormous figures of 72,000,000 )\ vounds. Raisius furnished 47,000,000 pounds, ‘y‘-lnnl 87,000,000 last year. Of canuved Rnu. this ~ year's ‘shipments were 000,000 pounds, ~ agminst 40,000,000 last Joar, everythiug cxonpL wioe and salmon there has been great incroaso in shipmeats, showing that the year is one of the most successful ever kuown for farmer and fruit grower. Stook is being rapidly taken in the Cape Horn Steamship line, started by merchants in order to securo lower freight rates from the east. It 1s cted that the first steamer will be ready ¥ next September. Most of the vessels wiil be built in San Francisco. Experts have eatimated that the traffic between San Fran- cisco and South American ports wiil pay all expenses, thus enabling the company to give low through rates between New York and San Fraucisco. Washington's Bullding. Washington's World's fair building will be one of the most attractive and unique in the state group. 1t will be constructed al- most outirely of material from the state of Washington, and it will form au illustration of tho builaing materials and Industries pe- culiar to that state. The design for the structure has been an proved by the constructiou department. The building will be 220x140 foet. The exterior will be of timber froin the Puget Sound re- gion, and all the lumber entering into it has been donated by the State Lumbermen’s association, The main entrance is to be made one of the features of the bufiding, and_will be of granite, murbie, and ore quarried in the state. In addition to what may boe contributed the state will expend® 0,000 in constructing and_elaborating tho details of tho building. Itwill be surmounted by a flagstaff 175 feot high, and there wili be four towers of uniquo design. A peculiar incident in connection with the acceptunce of the design for this boilding is that the one which ut first wos considered third in merit has been adopted, and tho architect who received the first prize in the competi- tion tias been relogated to the rear. Black Hills In an instructive article on the world’s supply of tin, K. W. Claypole writes as follows in the Ingineering Magazine concerning the Black Hills deposits: The tin bearing lodes are for the most part on the western side of the Black Hills, among the older schists, and are of very different degrees of value. Some of them are of enormous thickness, exceeding 100 feet, but the cassiterite is not equally distributea th It is found 1n strings and patches and sheets and many of the veins, and [arge parts of others contain none. They dip into the ground at high angles—usually about 70=— in this respect resembling the lodes of Corn- wall, and their working will consequently be very similar. Immense quantities of cassiter- ite exist in the hills, The granite veins are very numerous, and a large proportion of them are more or less stanniferous. But the percentage, as elsewhore, is very low, about equaling tho average yield of the Cornish mines at present in operation. It 1s not easy te give figures, buta sanguine estimate might put both at 2 per cent, and probably in ordor to attain this some of the poorer mineral must be excluded. A Bicycle Rallroad, The latest enterprise in the northwest is the construction of a bioycle railroad ou the Boynton principle between Seattle and Ta- coma. A route has been surveyed a little over thirty miles long, and agents are now securing right of way and soliciving subsi- dies. Local capitalists have organized a company with 00,000 capital. The prosi- deat, F. H. Osgood, is second vice president of the Boynton Bicycle Railway company, which owns the patents under which the road will be built. Construction will be ‘begun as soon as the rainy season closes. Mr. Osgood says that the distance between Seattle and Tacoma can be covered in twenty minutes, but the regular running time wiil be from thirty to forty minutes. At present most of the traffic between Tacoma and Seuttle is by boat, which makes the trip of twenty-eight miles in an hour and a half or two hours, There are frequent Northern Pacific trains, which take two hours to make the rup over a track nearly forty miles long. The Bicycle Railway company promises to carry freight and passengors more cheaply than the boats or regular trains can do it. South Dukota’s School Lands, The bill adr-itting South Dakota to state- hood provided, among other things, that 7: 000 acres of land should be set aside for the benefit of universities, schools, public build- ings and indemnity. Land Commissioner Ruth has been making an inspection of all the vacant lands of the state, and has se- lected abont 500,000 acres for te purpose so designated. About 200,000 acres of this are in the Black Hills country and the other 300,000 acres are in the counties of Hand, Hyde, Coaington, Day, Potter, Edmunds, McPherson, Walworth and Campbell. The remainder of the land appropriated be ex- pects to claim in the recently ceded Sioux and Sisseton reservations. There are also available some 40,000 acres in lako beds in the counties of Lake, Kingsbury and Miner, which are considered to be valuable, but they have never been surveyed und never thrown open as public lands. Votlug In Wyoming. Mrs. Helen M. Warren, wife of Wyoming's junior United States senator, wrote an in- teresting letter to Miss Susan B. Anthony that was read at the New York state woman’s suffrage convention. Mrs. War- ven said: “I haye voted for twenty years, with as much ease as 1f 1 wero ontering a theater or a church, Sometimes i ride, very often I walk, either alone or with company, just thc sameas I go anywhere else, and have never been annoyed or insulted in any way. On the contrary, we have the most gui- lant gentlemen in theé world —you see 1t will not do to be otherwise—that is only one veason for their being so. [ will not sully their fair reputation by saying that they would be less 50 1f the ladies had not the ballot."” Nebraska, There is taik at Harrisbure of building a cheese factory. A Rebekah lodge of Odd Fellows has been instituted at Madison. A beaver has been sent from Eddyville to the Central park menagerie in New York. When the standpipe arrives and is set up Blue Springs’ water works will be complete, Strlrk! from a passing locomotive started a fire at Brainard which totally destroyed Wanser & Mehaffey’s catyle sheds. St. Joseph’s Catholic church of York has been formally dodicated with impressive ceremonies conducted by Bishop Bonacum, Nels Mortensen, a Washing'on county farmer, started for Blair the other morning and dm})pnd dead in his wagon. He was 60 years of age, The only genuine colored man in Hoidrege, familiarly know as *Nigger George,” died the other day. He was a slave before the war, and when he came north ho settled in Holdrege. Elmwood citizens are making exertions to got a steam flouring mill o locate at that point, and in order to induce one to locate there the business men agroe to take enough electric lights ta justify the mili owner n establishing that kind of a plant. Charles Spears, a voung man, is 1n jail at Broken Bow on the charge of stealing a horse at Callaway. He made a great run for lib- erty when pursued by the oMcers, but near ddyvile he ran into a snowbank and was captured before he could extricate himself, Emil Magunson, alias Axel Carlson, is in Jail at ‘Lokamah, where he will stay until the district court passes on a charge of forgery. Emil is said to have vlaced the names of H. W. Lautz and J. W, Lenard to notes for 175 and $75 respectively, and to have obtained the money from the Kirst National bank of Ashland.” ‘L'he prisoner is only 21 years of ago. A Dakota Civy citizen, who is deseribed by the Eagle as & man with more brains than sense, went home at a late hour the other night anu ordered his wife and children out of the house or he would deal violently with thom. They left and sought shelter with a neighvoring family until morning, and the peoplo of the town are 8o incensed that the brute has been warned to be more circum- spact in the futuro or take the consequences.

It covers twenty- six square acres, is thirty-two feet nigh and contains 5,324,500 cords, Drew Davidson and Danny Breeve, Mus- catine boys, were playing with an old rifle and the Breene boy was shot in the jaw. T'ho wound is not thought to be dangerous. Young Davidson know tho rifle was loaded, but “forgot.” Tmprovem: in w buildings to the amount of $i55,000 were made at Washinglon during the year just ended. During tho same period in the county, outside of Wash- ington, nearly 00,000 worth of new build- ings were erected. It looks as though the Commerclal club at Dubuque will split over a bottle of wino. Part of tho club favors a sideboard at club headguarters and the other part opposes. Those who fuvor the wine threaten to with draw and form a club of their own. The Alta Advertiser gives the details of a new plan for swindling stockmen. Two tramp swinalers watch the local papers for stray notices, when one of them goes and 100ks at_the animal. Of course the nnsus- ting farmer on application shows it, and the fellow decides that it is not his; then be returns to his partner and describes it minutely to him. No. 2 then goes to the furmer and afier proving by & thorough description that ho is the animal's owner s he cannot take 1t away, and offers to sell it at a barkain. The farmer buys, and a few days later the rightful owner comes and claims the animal nts South Dakota, Rapid City’s improvement record for 1801 foots up #509,200.

Louis Stolenherger, a Rapid City dish bustler, aged 17, eased the pain of an unbal- anced mind with a bullet. Forty thousand dollars’ worth of chattel mortgages were released in Codington oounty during November. The Hon. N. K. Griggs, the sweet trouba- cour of the Blue valley and poet laurcate to the Burlington in Nebraska, is disbursing vocal music in the Hills at two bits per musoe. At a Deadwood Christmas tree, the flimsy garments of the children distributing gifts caught fire from the caundles. Though the flames were quickly extinguished, several children ware severely burned. Deadwood papers are much pleased with the appointment of Congressman Bryan of Nebraska es a member of the ways and means committee. They look upon him as a staunch friend of Black Hills interests, The extent of country underlaia by tho siliceous ore bodies of the Black Hills is daily being enlarged by new strikes and discoveries, as is evidenced in the Blue Ridge group, situated about a mile from Englewood, one of the stations on the B. & M. railroad. In this property, both tlat and vertical bodies or veins of such ore have been uncovered. The first discovery on the ground was made 1n a_fitteen-foot shaft, where the ore was found to be six feet thick, assays of which gave returns running from $i1 to $40 per ton. Wyoming. Laramie added seventy to its cemetery vopulation last y ear. The Elkhorn railroad survoyors are pros- pocting in the Hay Creok coal field. Fred Kendt uncovered a (-foot vein of good coal on the Rawlins-Saratoga road. The big chimney of the Cheyeune shops is topheavy and dangerous in a gale, and some twenty-five feet of it are to be taken off for safety. Its present height is 130 feet. A remarkabiy rich galena find was made by Professor Age on the north side of North Brush creek, near Saratoga. The ore runs #$100 in silver to the toa and & high per cent of lead. A rovort has ceached Cheyenno to the ef- foct that half a dozen thieves with 100 or more stolen horses are trapped in Jackson's hole, a basin in the extreme northwestern portion of the state. The new oil well drilling company located on Casper creek, abouv five miles from Casper, have their machinery all on the ground and their derrick up and have started thewr drill toward oidom, The com- pany will be known as the Empire Oil De- velopment and Trust compuny. Crristmas weather was exceedingly lively in southern Wyoming. Around Cheyenne the Wahsatch zephyrs humpea along at a seveaty-mile gait, carrying everything move- able with them.

Patrick O'Malley and Eric Jacobson were cremated by the burning of & bunk house at the south Galena mines. The council of Salt Lake City granted n franchise to the natural gas company and fixed the prico of gas at 80 cents per 1,000 feet. It is estimated that thero are at least 50,000 bushels of potatoes in Utah county for which no market can be found, cnough to starta fair sized starch factory. A leading member of the Mormon church at Salt Lake has just died, leaving an estato of §1,000,000, But when it is stated that he leaves also a large famly—that is, a large Mormon family—the cause of financial con- gratulation to the individual heirs does not seem so great. ‘The new machine gun tested recently at New Haven, Conn, is the invention of Browing Bros,, of Ogden. Its principal feature is rapiaity of firs, which is reported for a recent test as equaling 900 shots in one winute fired through one barrel. This gun has a water-jacket around the firing barrel and the cartridges are fed from a continuous pelt. The Maxim machine gun has a record of 750 shots per minute. The detail of the new gun is not yet made public. Montanu, Every patriotic Montauian sports sapphire Jowelry.

Owana, Jan. 2.—To the Editor of Tur When Governas Thayer called on the ns of Nebraska for donations of corn for the starving Russiuns I called attention in a commuanication w0 Tur Bre to the dan- ger of shippiug corn of this year's growth such a distance, as it would heat and becomo sour or musty and unfit for food unless kiln dried before shipding!” 1'see by yesterday's Bex that Secretary Rusk gives directions to have the corn kiln drigd, ground and shipped in barrels, My object in writing How is to- eall atten- tion to millers, capitglists or tho Board of Trade to a home manufacure in drying and grinding corn for the foreign markets, in which Nebraska can compete with the world if machinery could bé put in operation soon enough. You have a'customer at your very door for the manufuctvre of 50,000 busheis (sixty car loads) of ‘vori’ into mea'. That makes 7,000 barrels’ of meal allowing for shrinkage by evaporation and bran. The barrels could be manafactured here, and you are at once opening upa trade with the world of an_article justas good ascan bo made in New York or Wilmington (Brandy- wine), or any other vlace. Kiln dried meal is a staple article in all markets on the sea board. The demaud is limited, but increasing every year. Once get the brand established and you have the world for a market, uot only foreign market but for home consumption. "Forty or fifty years ago when farmers dried their corn in the oven before grinding they had o food that was a luxury little known at the present duy. The cost of drying is but hittle. True, iv will shriuk in welght from six to ten pounds on the hundred, but it is oniy the evaporation of moisture, which 1s of no value, D'This adds to the cost in weight.

Restriotions Which Are Placed Upon Jewish Subjeots of the Ozar, THODSANDS DEPRIVED OF LIVELIHOOD. Rules No Exy Country and Suffer Confi tion of rty, Arranged That Proy Jho terribie persecution of the Jows in Russia has boeu the subjeot of widesprend denunciation on the part of humanitarians in this country. Ihe following is a resume of the chief restrictive laws of Russia, taken from a recent issue of Darkest Russia, a London publication devoted to the cause of ameliorating the condition of these bauished people : RESTRICTIONS ON RESIDENCE. First—The Jews of Russia have long been compolled —with certain exceptions only—to reside oither in Poland or in the towns within the adjoining provinces known as the “‘Pale of Jowish Settiement,” but which con- tain comparatively few towns. Second—They may not live within fifty versts (about thirty-three miles) of the fron tier. Tho effect is to prevent them carrying on trade with neighboring countries, EXPULSIONS FROM VILLAG Under tho May laws, which pro- hibit Jews from settling “cutside of citics and towns,” those settled in villages sinco aro expolled thorofrom, and n into the overcrowded towns of the Fourth —~Under certain decisions of tho sonate, Jews settlod in villages befora May. 1852, have the right of remaining there, but only provided they do not move therefrom, Muny have been driven out who had settled there before because their names had not been iuscribed as villagers, or because thoy had temporarily left the village, in some cases to perform their military duty, Fifth—Suburbs of towns and smull towns have boen in many cases declared villages, and the Jews.tave been expelied therefrom. Sixth—Under the May laws Jows ure pro- hibited from owning, or holding on lease, or even managing, land; nor can thoy take a mortgage of land. Those, therefore, who have the right to remain villagoers, in conse- quence of settlement before 1552, cannot find a livelihood, and must migrate to the over- crowded towns of the Pale, EXPULSIONS. Seventh—Until lately Jews of all classes were allowed to reside in the grand duchy of Fioland and 1 Courland. This year all who were not artisans or merchants of the lirst guild have been expelled and driven into the Pale. Eighth—Jews have lately been also ex- pelled in large numbers from certain im- portaut commereial centers outside the Pat such as Rostoff on the Don, Towsk in Si- beria and other towns, where, for commer- cial reasous, they had hitherto been allowed to settle; also from the transcaspian proy- inces, and from Batoum and other Asiatic places formerly owned oy Turkey. Ninth—1In ail these cases of expuision ‘he Jews huve to find the mcans of removal by selling off their goods and chattels, as they cannot collect debts when they are known to be under orders to leave. If they then are unable to find money enough to pay for re- moval, they are forwarded to thé Pale of Settiement, however distant that may be, by etape, i. 0., in_chains, by the side of con- degned criminals and under the guard of prison warders, Jewesses are, however, allowed to remain 1f they will apply fora yellow ticket and becomo enrolled as prosti- tutes. ‘Tenth—The result of all these expulsons is not orly to deprive of their livelihood the persons expelled, but also to injure the original inhavitauts of the towns of the Pale, who have to sustain the competition of the new arrivals, to incur the burden of a crowd of pauperized people, and to find for them Rouse space within limits that were already too contracted. . Eleventh—Besides expulsions from Russia proper into the Jewish Pale,a very large number of expulsions of forvign Jews have ' aken place, not only from Itussia proper, but from the Pale itself. Any Jew unable to provo the place of his birth may be pro- secuted, and, as registration was formerly @ lax institution in Russia, prosecutions and expulsions of Jews, as alien vagrants, or as rogues and vagabonds (brodyags), are of no rare occurrence, RESTRICTIONS ON EDUCATION. Twelfth-~The attainment by a Jow of the highest degree in any university faculty ontitles him to the privilege of residing out- side the Pale. A large number of Jows have hitherto been candidates for uuiversity dic- tinctions; but recent laws have limited ad- missious not only to the universities but to the gymuasa, the proportion fixed being 10 per cent in the Pale, 5 per cent outside it, and 3 percentin St. Petersburg and Moscow. The Jews are not allowed schools of tbeir own. In thespecial tecknical schools built and endowed by certain rich Jews, the pro- portion of Jews admitted is limited just as if thoy had been established by the govern- ment. ‘Thirteenth—Jewish children atte..ding the public schools are required to be present on the Jewish Sabbath, ARTISANS' PRIVILEGES RESCINDED, Fourteenth—Skilled - artisans and their fannlies have hitherto been allowed to reside outside the Paleof Settlement. Under recent rules, if Jewish artisans residing in Russia proper are found inefiicient in their trade, or not actually in work, or past work by reason of age, they sre expelled. Fifteenth—Skilled artisans, who formerly held the right of permaneut residence in Moscow aud St. Petersburg, have lately been deprived of that right by an arbitrary and summary administrat oraer, Sixteenth—The definition of “skilled artisan’’ has been contracted for the purpose of excluding Jews. 1t has lately been de- clared that bakers, vinegar makers, glaziers, printers’ compositors, and other workers in light occupations, are not artisans, and Jews carrying on these trades have been oxpelled from towns in Russia proper, KESTRICTIONS ON OCOUPATIONS, Seventeenth—Jews ure ot allowed to sell intoxicants except iu houses that they own. jawlsh waiters may be employed only by ows, htoenth—Jews are not allowed to en- gage in any mining industry, or to hold min- ing shares, or to act as agents for persons engaged in mining, Nineteenth -Those Jews who, as graduates of a high university, or as merchants of the t guild (men paying av least 1,000 roublvs ition annually), are allowed to reside outside the Pale may have no more than two Jowish employes in their service. (A priv- ilegod Jow, who wishos his aged parents to reside with bim outside the Pale frequently registers the oue as his valet and the other as his eook,) Twentieth—Jews are proh.bited from for- warding goods, as ageuts or employes, from frontier custom housos to localities outside the Pale. PROFESSIONS AND PUBLIC APPOINTMENTS CLOSED Twenty-first—Jews are not allowed 10 oc- cupy any government cr public appointment, They have accordingly been dismissed from railway and postoftice service, from the posts DELICIOUS Flavoring Extracts NATURAL FRUIT FLAVORS.

There are also speciul taxes on house proporty owned by Jews, on business profits of Jows, on tho skull’ caps used by Jews during domestic prayer, and on the Sabbath candles used by Jows. DIRECT RELIGIOUS PERSECUTIO! Twenty-fourth-oews on reaching their four- year may be received mto the Ortho- aox church, notwithstanding the objection of their parents.
