The Ancient and Modem Jew.

BT LOUIS HOOD, NEWARK, N. J.
Mankind loves to linger in the gtllcies
of antiquity. The monument* of
he past are apt to fill us with thoughts
ublirne ; yet the sublimity is due not to
h?ir age, but to the incorporated repreentation
of am ther country. They are
cte in the great drama of the world,
cenes of which we ourselves are wit*
lesses. They are the indices of the
;reat flood of ideas which streams
hrough time. They are dear to us for
omparison's sake?comparison which
eveals the will ot a higner power ma
letrays the course of human developooDt.
A moment of this character,
he coropletest monument of how the
lauio of thought leaps from ago to age,
3 the Jew. Once politically united,
ben dispersed and trodden in the dust,
tow scattered but reconciled to humanly?what
phenomenon can be more ineresting
; what more instructive ?
There are two fundamentals into which
he genius of Judaism can be analyzed:
fehovah and a universal priesthood; or,
o speak in less biblical terms, the idea
f the unconditioned unity in the unieree
and of a free, moral humanity.
They are the essence of the Jew's manifestations,
though the garb in which this
spcnce is clothed has changed with
pochs and surroundings. Tbo essence
s constant; the garb, variable. The
ssence is the Jew ; the garh, the colored
;lass through which he appears as anient
or modern. Yet the essence,
* 1 Von in ifo infpp. I
(lOUgn CUUMaui, uao lai.vu .u ??
>retotion. Jehovah at first, wa9 rather
>mnipotence, than omniscience. Not
ill the Persian captivity did he be;ome
the Heing of beings. So too a
iniversal priesthood has been diversely
ixplained. Antiquity saw in it a vision
>f universal empire; hence, the personal
Messiah, and nationality. The modern
vorld conceives it to be a universal
ipiritual state; henco the Messianic
itatc and cosmopolitism. Notice the
liflertnces which this change hag effected
rhe ancient Jew was exclusive, the mod:rn
is participative; the former was
etrospective, the latter is prospective ;
* -?i
;he one was conservative, me uiuer is
iberal. The ancient sought for a his!orj
peculiarly his own ; the modern
finds the realization of his aims when he
shall no longer need a special chapter in
history. The former saw in the Mosaic
Law the perfected code for humanity ;
the latter sees therein the true principles
of life, which possess the adaptability for
an unshakeled development The one
regarded the Talmud as authority in
dogma and in practice . the other discards
it in both. The immortality of
the soul, let me add here, is commou to
the ancieut and the modern.
The religion of the ancients seemed
fitted for a single nation, and for n particular
country ; that of the modern is
for all nationa and all countries. It was
peculiarly defensive with the ancient; it
is aggressive, with the modern. In general,
modern Judaism clothes itself, in
the vestments of a religion for humanity.
It aims to ho a religion of life, free from
dogma, with virtue and morality the
corner-stone of its existence, with God
alone as supreme. It lifts itself to the
beigbtof science, rejecting whatever may
c
conflict. If is a path to god, and teaches
that service in God means & life of
righteous duty.
Ethnographically, the Jew is a being
of particularistic and uuiversalistic ten*
dcnciea ; with the former predominant
among the ancient, with the latter predominant
among the modern, yet each
manifesting traces of the other. His
ritual laws are particularistic, his moral
code univeisalistic; the priest is an emblem
of the former, the prophet of the
latter, peculiarity. In bis literature, <
history, customs, manner, language and i
religion, you will find them both.
D'Isreali rectgnizes this truth when he
savs. "with the Isrealite everything is I
ancient, nothing absolute." If particularistic
to cast forth from himself all i
idolatry, was he Dot universalistio in I
things irrelevant to this ? Was Jerusalem
to bim his only home ? Ifabylon, do <
thou acquit him of the charge ! Did he
reject the learning of non-believers as '
profane 7 Athens, unroll the records and
suffer not thosa that imbibbed the re'
freshing drink of tby philosophy to be
convicted ! Were the high principles of
his morality confined within his own !
circle and blood ? Read his law and ob- ?
serve that the idea that all peoples were
; to participate in the blessing promised
| to him is a tenet of his religion. Was j
there not full equality between him and i
the stranger in whatever pertains to jus- i
I tice and right ! Were Dot love ana Dens
ificence to be extended to all? Aye, did i
he not give birth to that Phariseeism, i
which had for its sole aim all that which
makes the Jew modern, the reconcilia- I
tion of hi9 life and religion to tho spirit '
of the times f i
Mark now, this, his greatest pecus i
liarity. The Jew is the union ot con- i
trary traits: reconciles enthusiasm with i
acuteness of intellect; has capacity for 1
stability and progress, subjectivo and i
objective inclinations. From his heart i
flows the burning pathos of Hebrew .
poetrry; flow zealous patriotism and <
glowing conversation; flow liberality, i
magnanamity, and a general desire of t
the great and sublime. From his intel- i
lect flows the Hebrew language, which i
in its original state presupposes great I
acuteness; flows the subtlety of Talmud <
disputations. The heart is the origin t
of his frenzy, rashness, want of grace; \
tho intellect of incoherent thought, lack t
of system and arrangement. The for- 1
rner explains his love for ceremony and j t
blindness to innovation; the.latter Jul I
mele nn+tout uu progressivenetw. Tn^i *
heart gives birth to his tolerance and i
egotism; the intellect to adaptation to s
environment. Otherwise he is rather i
passively receptive than actively origi- a
" ?* - 1
nal ; has quickness or perception, ana i a
pertntss at repartee, while in his phan-<, c
tasv, strong family disposition and ex-1 r
cessiveness of love and hatred, he dis- \
plays the great feminine propensity of c
the race. The remark that woman re- c
joices most when she delights man, the t
Jew most when he pleases Gentile, is c
strikingly true.
The ethnographical peculiarity has, t
however, no parallel in the ordinary i
life of the Jew. IJo dressed and lived c
in antiquity, and he does now, as Gentiles
do. He imbibed then, and he does
now, the spirit of the people he associates
with. The Frenchmen is spirituelle.
Is the French Jew not so/ Integrity,
solidity, and reserve are all the charac- '
teristics of the Englishman- Tbey are 1
likewise those of the English Jew. Un- 1
der Castilian skies, amid the luxuries of J
Southern nature, Spanish and Moorish f
society has giveu him the tinge of her 1
own knighthood; while Italy and Gcr- c
many have impressed their traits upon *
the domiciled exile. And the Ameri- c
can Jew presents all the diversities of 1
tbo American lnn&Diiant.
What now as to the Jew's influence *
on the industrial and intellectual developmcnt
of the world ? In both he has 1
participated; yet his rclatious to the *
two differ. The cause is the same? i
oppression Tt forced him to apply his
intellect and time to satiate the rapacity >
of his persecutors. Ilencc the quietude ]
of mind and comfortableness of life so
essential to marked intellectual improve*
uient were wanting to develop men of
science and philosophy. Ilistoty, therefore.
shows him to us an active agent <
in the industry of the world, a passive 1
participator in its thought. 1
In antiquity the Jews' pursuits were 1
eminently honorable. Agriculture and 1
cattle-raising developed first; the domes- 1
tic trades soon followed, while comm;rco
was not far behind. The Middle Ages '
behold him infusing the elements of <
development into occidental towns, '
weaving many an Asiatic thread into '
the fabric of European civilization, ini- 1
tiating banking systems, and making
himself in general indispensable. His <
Btrong commercial activities to-day are 1
universally known. Goldwin Smith '
disparages him beeauso his politics are <
thoHO of wealth ! Much rather to his 1
praise, if his wealth be but honest. For 1
wealth makes good citizens*; wealth ad- 1
varices the progress of civilisation.
Knowledge has ever been a venerated
theme witli the Jew. He was as zealous
to drink of its waters in antiquity as he
is to-day Were not the schools of the
ancient a force in his perpetuation on
earth ? Did not Moses command to read
the Law ? Did not the proverb "The
sage is greater than a prophet" take its
origin with him f Did not Ilillcl say,
"who gains not knowledg loses f "
Plato and Aristotle, DesfJartcs. Hegel
and Kant arc known to him. His own
literature is to abundance rich. One
eminent philosopher, Spinoza, he has
himself produced, and he prides himsolf
on Maimonidss and Mendelssohn. W ith
hig emancipation he has actively entered
into general literary pursuits; philosophy,
history and philology, engaging
f
AMDEN, S. C., AUGUS1:
his special attention. Otherwise he is
doctor, poet, jurift, economist, and states
mao. His modern literature, like that
of therest of the world, differs from the
ancients in scientific treatment. To the
higher arts ho has also aspired, and
Meddelssohn, Moscbeles and Myerbeer
are stars on4his horizog. Need we speak
in higher terms than those uttered to
derogate, yet expressive of the greatest
praise : "obstinate Judaism writhes and
twists itself through all sorts of obsta*
cits, and whenever i new culture
arises, it fastens upon it, to suck up
into itself its essence."
Literature has been most unkind to

in greed and malevolence is her common
delineation. Even Sbakspenre
has drawn a sorry and faithless picture
of him, unless it is intended as a specimen
of the worst element in the Jew's
most fallen state. In all of England's
ponderous literature, George Eliot's
iMordecni alone standsTorth as a true
representative of the Ancient Jew. Germany,
in Lessing's Nathan, has furnished
the counterpart?the modern

nay make bold enough to read the unwritten

It is a matter of no importance here,
whether Leasing intended to teach T)e?

>f the drame lies in the words ;
'Is Ghristian or Jew, more Christian or
Jew, ,
Than he is the man ?" .
Leasing raises us beyond the narrow*
less of sects, into the province of true
eligion, into recognition that we are
nen. And in his capacity as man,
Nathan seems perfect. Whatever virue,
whatever nobleness, whatever purty
of heart, what love, charity, honor,
>r honesty we can conceive of, they arc
ill in him. Learning, correctness of
lonception, broadness of view, religious
olerancc, these aro all there.

About two years ago a Mexican youth
)f this city became attached to a young
ady whom he had known from childlood,
and recently engaged himself to
icr for marriage, against the will of her
parents. I lis namo is Jose Madrid and
iers Jesusita Chavez. Jose is a train
nastcr, and shortly after the engagement
departed with a train for a West*
;rn post. While absent, a rival for her
hand appeared in the person of a well
!o do couutryman by the name of Jesgp
Zepoda.
The latter, having the advantage of
Jose in age and wealth, was encouraged
by the girl's parents, who protested

Jesus went to the girl's parents, assurod
Lhcrn of his love for their daughter,
asked that she be given him, and was
cheered by a favorable response. The
girl declared that she loved Jose and
not Jesus, and vowed that she would
marry whom sho pleased For her persistency
in her love for Jose, last
Thursday she was severely punished by
her father.
Saturday evening last wns appeintcd
as tho occasion for the wedding. Jesus
runde extensive preparations, and the
parents of the girl devoted considerable
money to their side of the programme.
Thursday evening, however, Joso returned
frrom his Western trip, and as
soon as he rcnchod the city, Jesusita
sought him out and told him the whole
story of what had happened during his
absence. Seeing that he bad not only
a strong competitor, but tho parents of
his inamorata to contend against, Joso
aad Jesusita arranged an elopement.

The girl would escape either by the
front or the rear of her home and End
a hack awaiting her to convey her to
the arms of her lover, but Jesusita's
parents suspected the arrangement and
guarded her all night, thus defeating
the elopement scheme. The next morning
the father of the girl, after a caucus
with the relatives on both sides, agreed
to bring the two rivals faco to face with
Jesusita that she might decide between
them which she preferred. The meeting
occurred. Everything was silent, when
the father arose and informed the daughter
that she could now make her choioe.

two lovers, his eyes sparkling with determination,
stepped forward, confronting
Jose.
Looking him sdunrely in the face,
exposing a bright, new revolver stowed
away in his bosom, aod then stooping
down and polling the right leg of his
pantaloons over the top of his boot, exposing
another revolver, Jesus said :
"Jose, I bought these pistols, one for you
and one for myself; I got them to be used
io the settlement of this disputo. If Jesusita
determines here to marry you and
discards me, I shall insist on your
meeting me as a man for her preference.
If you will not end this matter with me
I will shoot yeu for being a coward."

fearing that Jesus would hurt
Jose, and under 'he momentary fright
and consternation following Jesus'
speech, ran to the arms of the latter
and cried, "I will take you." This
ended the matter for the time being,
but the girl despised the man she had
chosen. Jesus and Jesusita were married
Saturday evening at the Cathedral
of Sanfernando, the affair proving quite
interesting; but the girl was unhappy,
and after the marriage refused to recog- ,
nize her husband. She spent the whole
night upon her feet, tearing herself
from her husband's embraces, and keeping
distant from him. Yesterday morning
the troubled woman obtained one
of her husband's pistols. Stepping out
in the yard she placed the muzzle near
the heart and fired, the ball passiog
through her body, leaving an ugly
wound. She now lies at the point of
death, while her husband, who sits by
her bedside, is fully penitent of his

Alarming1 for Third Term Men.
General Grant Ineligible, Being a Britith
Citizen.
A correspondent of the Rochester
Union and Advertiser, raises the truly
alarming issue that "Grant is now, and
for several years must remain, ineligible
to ativ elective office under the covern
meat of (be United States or of any
State.
' You will remember," ho says, "that
in the year 1877, 6oon after the close
of his second term, he left the United
States, and has since been in Europe,
and is now there on an extended
pleasure trip. Upon his arrival in
England he was the recipient of many
honors from the people and the rulers
of Great Britain, among which, and to.
which I call the attention of all concerned,
he was olectcd or chosen or appointed
as by the laws of Great Britain
provided, a freeholder of the city of
London, which he accepted, and by
that acceptance and presentation he
thereby become a citizen of the corporation
of London, entitled to a voice in
its government, and eligible to its Lord
Mayoralty.
"Upon such acceptance, and at the
time of its being confered, he signed
his name to the charter, or such instrument
in law as the corporation provides
for signature upon admission of new ,
citizens. That he also took the oath of
allegiance to such corporation, which (
is but another form of naturalization ,
under the laws of Great Britain. That
he is now, in fa?t as in law, a subject
of the Queen, and by such fact has
ceased to bo a citizen of tho United
States, and is therefore ineligible to
any position under our laws until ho
has passed the requisite term of years
nftcr his return nnd has been through
the agonies of naturalization?a term
of years that bars him from the canvass
of 1880, if not for all time as" to the
Presidency of the United States. I
submit this nut for our Republican
friends to crack."
A ReJacted Lover's Revenge.
Taking a seat just behind the happy
pair in church, he racked his brain for

crawling on a pillar hard by, and gently
dropped him down between hits unconscious
rival's shirt colar and neck,
and then calmnly leaned back with a
virtuous and christian air of satisfaction.
The bug soon made his presence
felt, and that other'fellow began to
twitch and scratch himself against the
back of his sect and look uneasy, and
cast unhappy glances at tho ministor and
affecting ones at the fair being by his
side. The bug evidently grew more
impatient at his imprisonment, and
turned himself loose, grappling around
with a recklessness very suggestive of
of big black spiders or scorpions ; and
that other fellow could stand it no
longer ; but bolting upright, cast one
wild, startled look at the congregation,
cleared tho space between him and the
door at two bounds.

Wild Horses in Kansas.
It is a well known fact that from time
to time immemorial herds of wild t
horses have roamed over the plains ot 1
southwestern Kansas. Their origin no 1
man knows. It may date back to the <
early Spanish conquest of the country, i
It has been exceedingly difficult to cap- <
ture them, the metho pursued having <
been to run down and lasso tbem with <
fleet horses Latterly, however, it has <
been ascertained that they can be cap- ?
tured in herds. The method is to get <
ud an outfit of a fast walkincr team on a ?
I t O
wagon carrying provisions and camp c
supplies, and three or four riding po- c
nies and as many men. When a herd 1
is found they are kept moving, no ef- I
fort being made to drive them in any 1
direction.. The team and ponies arc c
not driven faster than a walk, and every 1
opportunity is embraced of cutting i
across to save distance. The wild bor- t
scs are kept in motion until dark, being t
given an opportunity to graze during i
tho day. At night they are too tired 1
to graze, and will lie down. The pur- 1
suers camp, feed their horses from grain t
which they carry with them, and are up t
by daylight, have breakfast and start i
again. This is kept up day after day. 1
Every day takes some of the scare and
wild out of them; they become accusA

A Terrrible Tragedy Under the In- t
fluence of the Moon. c
In the dark path of the late eclipse *
across Texas, 116 miles in width, there t
were thousands of ignorant people, both c
white and black, who had not heard C
that anything pejuliar was about to hap- (
pen. Many of these people the eclipse' I
surprised at work in their fields. Many. r
ludicrous scenes are reported. Espe- a
? ?t.? pinuiatfon of United States '
Senator Coke, near Waco, was it that 0
the negroes went to praying, believing tl
verily that the day of judgment had h
come. A terrible tragedy in Johnston
county may be set down to the eclipse.
Epbraim Miller, colored, with his family
of wife and four children, lived near jj
Buchanan, in that county, whither he t,
had removed from Tennesse six months D
ago. On the morning of the eclipse j
he said that ho had heard the world ?
was coming to an end that evening, and ^
if so, be intended to be so sound asleep t:
tho trumpet of the Angel Gabriel could tj
not awaken bim. When the oclipie t;
commenced and the darkness of totality 0
came on he ran from the field to his Q
house with a hatchet in his hand. He jf
was followed by a negro woman named a
Nancy Ellison, who also thought the r
world was coming to au end. As she (
got to tho house Miller's wife rushed t
out under the same delusion, and look- ^
ing up at the beautiful corona of light
around the black moon, screamed, j,
"Come, sweet chariot!" at the same
time rushing across a cotton field wring- |
ing his hands. In tho meantime, Mil- t
ler, wishing to take his ten-year-old boy t
with him to the other side of Jordan,
raised his hatchet and split his head (
open. Leaving the latter weltering in t
his blood and struggling in the last 3
throes of death, the father, on a ladder, t
ascended to the top of the house. Here
with a new razor he cut his throat from
car to ear, and he fell to the ground a
corpse. His two little daughters escaped
by hiding under a bed.

What Voices Indicate.
There aro light, quick, surface voices
that involuntary seem to utter : "I won't
do to tic to." The man's words may
assure yon of his strength of purpose
and reliability, yet his tono contradicts
his speech.
Then thcro nro low, deep, strong
voices, where the words seem ground
out as if tho man owed humanity a
grudge, and meant to pay it some day.
The man's opponents may tremble and
his friends trust his ability to act.
Thero is tho course, boisterous, dictatorial
tono invariably adopted by vulgar
people who have not sufficient
miWimtmn to understand their insiernifi
*" " ? G
caoco.
There is tho incredulous tone, that is 1
full of a covert sneer, or secret, "you J
can't <3upo me, sir," intonation.
Then there is a whining, beseeching '
voice that says "sycophant" as plainly
as if it uttered the word. It cajoles and '
flatters you; you are everything that you
should be.
Then there is the tender, musical,
compassionate voice that sometimes goep <
with sharp features, but always with '
genuine benevolence. '
If you arc full of affectation and '
pretense, your voice proclaims it.
If you are full of honest strength and !
purpose, your voice proclaims it. 1
If you are cold and calm and firm and
persistent, or ficklo and foolish and de- 1
ceptive, your voice will be equally truth
telling.
You cannot change your voice from
a natural to an unnatural tone without
its being known that you are so doing.

A Closely Guarded Weight.
There is deposited at the Mint, Broad
street, Philadelphia, a troy pound
reight, which is kept under duplicate
locks and seals. There is a curious bis*
iory connected with this-weight. By it
is determined the standard to which
!hc accuracy of the gold and silver coins
)f the United States must attain. The
sommission appointed by the President
io test the coins and make the annual
issay use this weight, and on these oc*
msions it is taken from its carefully
guarded seclusion, and it shows the ao
juracy or inaccuracy of the production#
>f the various mints in this country.
This little cylinder is copied from a troy
>onnd weight preserved in the Tower of
[iondoti, and on this latter the coinage
?f Grsat Britain rests for reliability.
This exact witness of financial integrity
6 "arefully preserved pnd guarded from
ampering hands. At the conclusion of
he assay commission's labors the weight
s intrusted to the care of a judgo of the
Jnited States district court, the colector
of the port and the director of
he mint, locked up and solemnly scaled
or another year, only to appear twelve
nonths after and show which mint has
>een derelict in.its work.
The Street of Nations.
A Paris correspondent gives this
tern about the expositiou: One of the
ooet curious features of the exposition,
nd one that first attracts general atention,
is the Street of Nations. One
1 the sides of this avenue is a series of
ypical facades, that is, of fronts of
luildings erected by the exhibiting
lations, and each of a special type of
rchitecturc. That of tho United
states is a credit to Mr. Henri Hette,
ngineer, who directed the building.
3y its proportions, its harmony, and
be caro in its details, it answers to the
dca ot a thoughtful and practical na?
ure. One lingers before this specimen
f a triendly dwelling-house, or a useul
establishment, so pleasing and atractivc
by its elegant simplicity and
harming coloriog. Sweden and Norray
show an edifice of firewood, with a
ower, and the reproduction of an old
lock of the tenth or eleventh century ;
jrreece, a house of the time of Pericles;
/hina, an actual house brought from
'ekio. Spain has a rich facade where
emembrances of Grenada and Seville
re gathered. The Russian architect

White Indians.
"Montana Charlie," a scout, who
ived in the Sioux country for about
welve years, says there are two while
len in Sitting Bull's camp, foe is
fajor Pease, who was dismissed to disrace
from the Fourth Infantry of
Jnited States troops in 1861, while sta?
ioned somewhere in Kansas,since which
ime he has been living and acting with
he Indians. He has the full confidence
f the Indians, stands high in tho estimation
of the great Sioux warrior, aod
i to all intents and purposes an Indian,
renegade from and an enemy of his
ace. The other man is named John
)'Brien, and he was taken prisoner at
he timo of the Cu&ter massacre, and is
leld in captivity. He has been adopted
nto the tribe, and has a squaw wife, bat
i under the strictest surveillance to
revcnt escape. The scout has seen and
alked with both these men, and knows
hat they aro with these Indians under
hese circumstances. O'Brien is suplosed
to be the only survivor of tho
it aster massacre. Ho was wounded

It is told of that distinguished sollicr,
Sir Phillip Sidnoy, that being
ibout to wash his hands after a hardfought
battle, ho had just taken up the
joap and turned on the warm water,
when he perceived a particularly grim
<oldier at his sido. Handing the soap
to the soldier, with the now historio
words, "Thy necessity is greater than
mine," Sir Phillip turned away, and
went, unwashed, to his virtuous couch.Gold

a thrill of admiration and a sudden
