Thoy aro, first, th?? oldor group, In many in stances going hack as South Curolln In iim before tin- Revolution. Thoy ? aim* generally from England, whose free Institutions and humane laws af fordod an oportunlty for tho Hebrew to develop the noble |M>ssl hill ties of his nature, which were so often bout en Into obscurity by iiersecutiou In other lands. Tho Jews of England were largely of Spanish ancestry and to some extent Portugcuse; and tho Spanish .lews have boon notable for centuries as eminent for Intelligence, line ap|a*arance and attainments. Other stocks of JeWs have shown ureal worth and ability, which are not reflected u|h?ii at all by remarking upon this interesting and unusual con nection between South Carolina and Spain. The names of many of ( ur 'older South Carolina Jewish- families prot latin their Spanish (or sometimes Portuguese) ancestry, as o. u.. Agul lar. Avila, Avededo, Carvalho, Depaz.

Salvador, Sar stedas, SasiKirtas, Snares and Torres. Tlu? second body of Jews consists of more recent immigrants, largely from Germany first, but later from Poland and Russia. The latter have l>een beaten down for centuries, and bear yet the marks of their sufferings. The different stoeks differ markedly In face, form and features, suggesting that there must, have been soiue ap preciable Intermingling with the back ward Slav, the stalwart Herman or the proud, lithe Spaniard. In 1n<h>, and for sometime after, the Jews of South Carolina, then almost all In Charleston, were the most num erous. cultured and wealthy Jewish community In the United States. There were about 'J.oOO in the entire country at that time, a mere handful t<> the l?.tW5,00n today out of the thir teen and a quarter million) Jews of the whole world.

Not only did the movement for the intellectual and spiritual cmanclpa thin of American Jews from uiedlao vulism in thouuht and religion orig inate in Charleston, lint from this state came also many scientific and intellectual leaders.

Woflford College, S. C. Behind the liars. No matter how contentedly he hops 'from floor to perch, how happily he. may trill and whistle no matter how nonchalantly he bites oh his cuttle-fish bone, we can't forget that the little bundle of music, is a prisoner, and that he has never known the Joy of living in the great ont-of-doores. He has nev er poured out his little soul in the fresh ness of the morning, when the leaves and the grass, all dripping with dia monds, seemed afc new us the day that was dawning. No matter if the, bar* ;ire gilded that shut him in, they are bars all the same. Hut generations of caged ancestors have probably re moved such yearnings from his palpi tating little heart, and. for his sake, we hoj>e they have; and that in his sleeping moments, dreams of the lonji ago, when there were no such tilings as cages, when his fore-hears were brown, not yellow, never come to Ret him to wondering and wishing. The canaries that the people of Europe never knew o/, were brought by a trad ing vessel from the Canary Islands. There wore several thousands of the little singers, and they made no small part <*f the cargo. The vessel was ""WTWked <>tr the coast of Italy, but a sailor with a real heart under his jack et, would not leave the ship until he o)>oucd the big cage that held the birds, and they all escaped. The nearest, land was the island of Elba, the very sj)ot, that years after became the cage of that restless war eagle. Naj>oleon Bona parte. The climate of the island seein ed to suit them, and there found the kind of food they wanted, so the un willing emigrants went to house keep ing, and it was not long before the whole Island was ringing with their songs. Of course the music-loving I talians were not slow in noticing the clear, sweet notes of these new birds ; so they begun trapping and shipping them to England, Germany, and Bel gium. An old natural history written in England in the year l(il(i, gives, a minute account of breeding the Canary with home birds ; and It seems it de veloped into a craze that swept the whole country. The pAlus-taklhg Germans crossed them with the llnnot, the pine siskin^ were said to be twenty-eight varieties including most of those- now known, besides a number that have become ex tinct. So you see change of food, and change of climate had a whole lot to do with changing the color of the bird. Back In Its native island, there was no such thing as n yellow canary, the color that nature gave it was u brown ish, so that the lemon (tmt of a canary is the result of civilization, it wm found out along a great many other things that the cooler the climate, the paler became the plumage. In En gland and Germany, for over a hun dred years, there have b?>en societies' devoted to the raising of canaries and great annual expositions were held, where the birds were exhibited, and prizes given for the finest s|>ecimena Of the many varieties, in America the most popular is tlie "Made in Germany" kind, being smaller than the ltrltlsh bird, but has a finer voice. It is a curious fact that the imi>ortccl birds, after one winter In America, u?sc the power of transmitting their particular voice to the second generation. The bird that COnjW to us from the Tyro lean Mountains, in a few years, loses the liquid, yodling notes that gives it Its value, and becomes a very ordinary singer, neither is it as hardy as the native bird. Before mating the fe males are kept in the music room where they are obliged to listen to the ma chine used for training their voices, and thus they are enabled t<> transmit their voices to the future fledglings. This music room is a large, sunny one. with a southern exposure and is kept as neat as a pin, as the school room for so many little yellow pupils should be. Tha first note* they are taught are very much like the natural notes of the MPd; gradually the whis tle strikes a different key, that la an Improvement on the first Thus they are led from one tone to another, each step developing tha roice. Lastly comes what the Germans call the "hoi rollen" 111 aud the bird that can master that, is figuratively handed a diploma, and incident ly Ihh'ciiim worth fifty dollars, ur nnrn '* A News, Made llim Pay Old Itobt.
