that was trembling on his lips the business at high cliffe was soon trans acted colonel lyndon took theopportimity of looking more cloiely into his atlairs than he had previously done he found that the value of his property was increasing that he could afford to make good settlements on a wife and that a little painting and re decorating would make high chile a de lightful summer residence these

near est neighbour at high clitic and she had married a man who was kept iu london by his business the greater part of the year immediately on his arrival he called at her house and was shown into the

httopurtluiidmulne baron hirsch giveasl5000000 to expelled russian jows it has become very clear that the russinn government intends so far as possible ut lestroy the prosperity of its jewish popula tion and to drive it out of russia accord ing to the russian apologists it is a quest ion of selfdefense the lews being altogether too successful in their commercial dcaliugts with the leas acute people about them and at the same time evading to a large extent the burdens of citizenship it is a curious confession on the pari of the vast empire of russia under an autocracy that one of its ubordinate peoples so menaces its prosperity that an extreme form of political persecution is justified that such a persecution has been deliberately entered upon and will be strenuously carried out there is not the slightest doubt life in russia is to be made intolerable to the jews for the ex press purpose of forcing them to emigrate they ore to be so surrounded by restrictions so shut in by limitations that they will re fuse to stay the various restrictions which we have enumerated many times iu these columns are being rigidly imposed every where while new hardships are studiously addd from time to time the jews arc already so limited as to opportunity oc cupation and location that it must lie almost impossible for thegaeat majority of them to obtain a livelihood moscow and kcifthave been added to the places in which they are forbidden to live and they ore no longer to fj practice their usual trades in any of the cities of old russia ibis said that many of them aro accepting baptism for the soke of diminishing the hardships of their lot without however intending lo surrender their faith when one takes into account the fact that there are altout five millions of jews in russia the magnitude of the injustice which the czar is about to inflict on this people becomes apparent three times in their history the lews have been forcibly compell ed to change their place of residence twice from palestine and once from spain and russia is adding another chapter to this terrible story ooo province after an other is being cleared of them city after city is being

many looked into the question believes for au instant that the economic miseries of kusaia nre to bo laid on the shoulders of jewish population tho charges brought agatnat them arc for tho most part simply cloacks for race and religions antagonism it i doubtful if so great n nice tragedy has been scon since niedievaj times the miseries involved in moving ahonta million women and three millions of children to say nothing of uprooting peo ple who have lived for hundreds of years in the place from which they are now driven who aro peculiarly dependent on tfceirniwo- ciations mid their communities wlio are disliked by every other country to which they may go as emigrants arc quite beyond the imagination that a so called christian nation should lc guilty cf so lose a brutality a this age of the

by planting jewish colonies no location has as yet been fixed iifion but it in iirobable that some proviueo of lrail will le selected the great difficulty in the way of such schemes lies in the

brought him to kttrick at aliout the same hour as on the former occasion when mity and letty had bun hi travelliiigcoinpaiiions wishing to give a pleasant surprise to his friends lie sent round the carriage containing his traps by the kick way and walked up to the house it was a dark night for the lime of year the sky was covered with clouds ami oc casionally there could lo heard in the dis

shadowed sward he approached the summerhouse from the left it was surrounded on both sides by the trees so that ho was not seen this was the moment when letty was standing iu the entrance of the summerhouse and when percy who had come up from the op posite direction was looking at her it was usual in the evening for the sum merhouse to l lighted by a swinging lamp this lamp swung over the entrance and as letty stood its light shone full upon her roth of the men who being each uncon scious of theothcrs presence had their at tention fixed upon her noticed the wistful eagerness of her face one waaon the point of speaking tho other as we know spoke when percy winstanley a voice fell upon tho silence and when with the air of one whoso expectation is fulfilled the young girl in the white dress went out to meet him the second watcher turned away breathing heavily for a moment like one in physical pun he shot into a side pith and walked on aimlessly until lie reach ed the outer gate of the pleasure ground then remembering that the hour was growing late he retraced his steps he had not gone far before he knocked up against percy wfnitanlcy who was strolling iu the opposite direction percy had not heard of the colonels arrival he gave him un overflowing welcome to which theie was scarcely any response and they walked on together towards the house in silence presently he made ihe colonel start by saying you take an iuteiestin miss mor rison dont you 1 have just lieeu seeing her in colonel lyndon made a vague remark about the weather being doubtful for evening rambles and percy further surprised him by saying sho braved the weather poor little thing braved it i lielievc on purpose to speak to me colonel i tell you the truth i could not have lclieved it unless i had seen it with my own eyes that timid gi i has the heart of a hero sho puts my own people to the blush my mother would not haw spoken to mo as she did your mother said the colonel hoarse ly what do you

his enthusiasm if a man was to follow them he would lw a hero a saint the world would not 1 worthy of him he stopped and for the space of five seconds the colonel was silent then he said iu his

opium traffic tho prospect of putting on end to tl opium traffic in india is not so bright an il seemed a month ago when jhe house of commons by a vote of lb0 to id passed a resolution that the indian government should eeaao to grant licenses for the culti vation of the poppy and take measures to prevent the transit of mai wall opium through english territory tho member who introduced this resolution has since ex- srcsscd himself os entirely satisfied with the eclnretion of the first lord of tho trea sury that the policy of the government had twen toward a steady reduction of the quantity of laud placed under poppy culti vation and that that policy would bo per severe within the future in other wons the act of parliament was little more than a harmless expression of a philanthropic sentiment the great practical objec tion to its execution was of course the loss of revenue which would result those however to whom such an objection is not ill sufficient attempted lo show that moral ity and self interest were on the same side the loudon siectator for example insisted that if tbo opium traffic were pro hibited 111 india tho coarser ami more poisonous opium of smyrna would take place this argument would have seemed to us a stronger 0110 had not the spectator followed it up with the de claration that in a few years an american syndicate would import indian poppies into florida prepare the juice as carefully as the opium department has always done ami divide a profit us the indian govern ment does of five or six hundred percent n other words the english

supports this vigorous piece of denun ciation on the ground that the siiooocoo annual revenue is raised without burdening hritish subjects at all inasmuch as the opium is sold entirely to the chinese
