rBEJUDICE JEWS. i Recently in New Tork and estimable and accomplished gentleman was rejected as a member of the Bar, Association Vfor no reason thai can be conceived," indignantly said one of the leading members, "except that he was" a Doubtless a few votes would procure the rejection. But the association is not a social club, and presumptively a man, who is an honorable member ot the bar Is a fit member ot the The leyf hostile Votes, however, represent the' jprejudioe. It is very old and universal. To the audience of to-day there is nothing in Shakespeare more vital and intelligible then the fervent appeal ot Shylock to the common humanity of the world around.bjrn.

The Jew is still separate, and the' prejudice which has pursued him'for generations is but slightly relaxed. The lines ot de-markation are fine. Tliey are olten almost invisible. But they are deep, and apparently absolute. It is one ot the most common add most tenacious of the objections to Daniel Deronda that it deals with Jews and Jewish liteand The fact is sometimes almost resented as an offense to the mass of readers.

Even in Ivanhoe, although torrents of Christian tears'have flowed over the closing pages, where the -noble and beautiiul Rebecca asks to see the face ot the fair Rowcna yet such is the fell and weird outlawry of tho Jews from general sympathy, that the catastrophe seems to be au inevitable tact. There is no doubt that this preujdico is as cruel in its effects it is unreasonable in its origin. Distrust, alienation, a nameless scorn, or by whatever term the leeling be described, fatally chills and discourages the man or the people upon whom it talis. One ot the most intelligent and accomplished colored men in this country was so tortured by the prejudice against his race that be said he would gladly be flayed alive it only, he could, be made white. A slave-holder, trvingjto prove to Gerrit Smith the "natural" inferiority" of the colored man, said to him that although the white and a colored children played pleasantly together in perfect equality, yet when they grew older thejdifference ot interior and superior became evident.

Mr. Smith replied that the charge was due not to conscious inferiority, but to the consciousness ot the negro ot the awful slig-. ma of slavery upon his race. A people is oppressed, and the arts by which it evenges or defends itself are urged- as reasons tor oppression, or drooping despair ot successful resistance is claimed as the justification of tyranny. legend of the Wandering Jew has a pathos beyond the usual interpretation.

The story is that the Jew, who refused to comfort Christ as He toiled under the weight ot the cross, was condemod to tarry until He came, and so wanders around tho world until the second coming. But it is the symbol also ot the restlessness ot the race, roaming through Christendom homeless and rejected. It is tho curse, says many a zealous Christian heart, of the people that the Redeemer, This the common theory of the origin of the traditional antipathy to the Jews; and undoubtedly this is with i many persons a vague justification ot the feeling, with which a Jew is- regarded; But should it be nothing to such persons that when, as they believe, the CreaUr would, incarnate. Himself, He became a Jew Or, againdo they, reflect that if it was in the eternal decrees that the sins of men were to be atoned and condoned by the innocent sacrifice, those who accomplished the sacrifice were but the agents ot the Divine will Are all such ingenious speculations other than devices to explain and justify a mere prejudice of race, such as some African tribes cherish against people of white skins Those who find in such prejudice a profound signifi-, ca.nce will continue to plead the feeling as its own sufficient reason. But honorable men will be careful how they heedlessly use the name of a race to which the religion, the literature, the art, the civilized progress of humanity, are so greatly indebted, as a term ot utter derision and scorn Easy Chair, in Harper's Magazine for July, Quackery in the Professions.

Pausing with a sad, far-off look in his eyes, as the vision had suddenly risen jupon his memory, and with a voice sweet and pathetic, and nearly chocked with emotion, he said. "In a lute yiwt to Plymouth I bought the spot where these early dead werejburied. It was on a bank, somewhat elevated, near, fronting and looking upon the waves-symbol of what life had been to them ascending inland behind and above the rock symbol also to that Rock ot Ages on which the dying had rested in that final hour," I have never seen an audience so moved. The orator hud skilfully led up to this passage, and then, with a voice surcharged with emotion, symbol ized the stormy and tumultuous life the sudden and sad and, and the heroic faith with which resting upon the Rock of Ages, they had laid dowa on the shoro ot the eternal sea.

As Choate approached the climax, Webster's emotion became uncontrollable; the great eyes with tears.tne great frame shook bowed his head to conceal h'stjfacein his hatand one almostt seemed to hear his sobs.

Tribune's Washington Correspondence. JTPE JCHISQLM JTR AGEDY Harper's Weekly tor Jane 28rd gives the portrait ot the brave Cornelia Chisolm, who lost her life while attempting to shield her father against the swage and infuriated mob that assailed him in the De Kalb (Mississippi) Jail where he had been imprisoned on tho charge ot having instigated the murder ot a political opponent.

The story is in brief as follows: On Thursday evening, April 2G, John Gully, a citizen Kemper. County, Mississippi, as assassinated by un unknown party. On the Saturday 'follow-ing, two colored men made that a Mr! Benjaman Rush, a'wbite man, was tfie euiliy party, and crimo Was instigated by Judge Chisolm; a well known and active Republican. His son, Clay Chisolm and three other Republicans; Rosenbauip, and Hopper, -ell whites, were also accused complieUy in the -murder, The judge and his son were arrested 'and imprisoned at De Kalb and Mrs. Chisolm, her daughter, and -little so a called Johnnie, instead on sharing their confinement.

At the judges request, guards, were stationed in the hall he was They, were armed villi double-barreled guns, butit subsequently appeared that these with one exception, were loaded with powder and wadding only. This wus Sunday morning. Jubge Chisolm on being arrested sent for Gilmer, who came into the town on Sunday, and was immediately arrested. He was surrounded by (aninturated crowd On nearing the jail he made a sudden effort to escape, but was shot down and killed. Abaut three in tho afternoon several of the guards requesatd the sheriff to relieve them, and five retired, leaving their guns leaning against the wall.

A friend ot jJudge Chislom's, a cotchmau named M'Lellan, refused to go for souio time, but at length acceded to the request ot the sheriff. Fie was delivered by that officer into the hands of the mob, who instantly shot him dead. The mob. headed by a Dr. David Rosser, then forced their way into the ball where tho judge was confined.

A terrible scene Chislom seized the gun and retired to the farther end of the hall determined to soil his life dearly. Clay Chisolm caught up his young brother and endeavored to hide him behind a large iron cage. The rest of the awlul story must be told in Mrs Chisolm's own words. "Belore Clay could spring hack to lake his place against the door, Johnnie cried my father I and sprang between his father and Rosser, who, he saw, was in the act ot shooting him. Rosser placed his gun at the heart of my little boy, and fired its contents into its body.

At that in3tanlmy husband obtained the onlr loaded gun ihre. wl.icbhad been 1 irvg from was house, and killed Rosser. Alter the lock had been chopped out of the door, I sprang inside to give the alarm that the mob had fired the jail. My daughter's face was (covered with blood from woundscaused by shot which had rebounded after slriking the iron bars. I told my htsband to fight his way through, not knowing then that the guns which had been left by the guard had been loaded with powder only by the sheriff.

"With Clay's assitance I carried Johnnie's dead body down stairs, through the ha 1, to the outside door. Turning. I saw a renewal of the attack, and my husband Coming down with our daughter's arm around bis waist. At this time old Henry Gully was at the door, I urged him back holding tho door with v'both hands He put his gun through the grating, and Cornolia, throwing her arm around her father's neck, told Gully to kill her, spare her father. Gully placed the gun within a lew inches ot her and fired, her arm receiving the contents of both Another guu was handed Gully, by a boy, which he fired, and shot my husband.

Phil Guely ran up with a club, but another shot finished him her husband, and he fell, exclaiming, "My precious wife, I uio luuuceai; my enure lamny murdered i uui un oi mv cnnuren live, I want them to know I have never" done an act nor harbored a. -thmin-ht wMnh rn.i4 make them blush." i "Clay tried to stand Vni.wanfi Thim is murderers, while Cornelia and I ran to ine poor to obtain help to carry my; husband The blood was, running from Cornelia's shattered aim. which she held up. begged for help, answer was a shot in -her leg By this time about, twonty-Cve of the crowd ran in. I hastened back ot where my husband, lay, and' seized a gun.
