THE IDENTITY OF THE LOST TRIBES OF ISRAEL WITH THE ANGLO SAXON RACE.

We stated that in A.D. i Israel was m the very localilv iv which the King or Assyria had placed them, 7-5 B.C. Joacplui-. tells us : " but then thef|entiro body of people of Israel remained in that (Media) country, wherefore there aie two Lubes iv A_i_ and Europe sublet, to the Romans, whilo tbe Ten Tribe.-- are beyond Euphrates till now, and are au im.__u:-_ uinltiiuuc, u;/_ Lo oc estimated by numbers." Matthew tells ns that Christ commanded his Apostles to "go not into the way of the Qentues, aud into any city of tho Samaritans cuter ye not ; but go rather to tho Lost Sheep of the house of Israel,"—of course they obeyed the com mand ; and where do we lincl they went? Iv search of the tribes of Israel ? Follow them and you will truce them in the neigh bourhood ot Media, and by tho region of theEuxincSea. So that by the uiouthsof 'two historians, sacred and secular, we learn that the exiled house of Israel was, hi A.D. 31, in the region of Media. Now, Media was not the cradle of the Israelitish nation : the nationality of 1 heir tribeahips was Palestine. But how* did the Ten Tribes lose their identity? The ten tribes were exiled, but not literally lost, iv A.D. 31. This we know, how else could theso i.iitlo them have found thorn iv Media with their synagogues abounding everywhere? Would the Gentiles, to whom the Apostles wore forbidden to go, Lave had synagogues? AYe read that Israel was to bo found under tho Mosaic Law ; under the law of Moses ; for we arc plainly told that "the Law was until John," i.e. in the days of Christ The sent ones found theso exiles in Media contending for the right of circumcision. What bad" iho Gentiles to do with this rite ? Proof that it was to Israel they went. They found them laying greatstress on genealogy, ths special institution of tho Mosaic Law, to keep their different tribeships separate and distinct ; thus when Paul wont to them he must have found them in separate divi sions, each tribeship being preserved—proof that they had not thou lost their identity— but the time was at hand when they would lose it. Had they retained their syna >- _<mcs, the rite of circumcision, and kept their tribes separate, they would be as easily recognised now as their brethren the Jews arc. Paul speaks to them earnestly to give up these points, for he knew that the prophecies must bo fulfilled, and scrip ture accomplished, and lie knew that from his time the blessings upon Israel, and the curses upon Jndah would begin to take effect. Are such tribeships known to exist' anywhere on the face of the earth ? No ; a proof that Paul's com mands were abided by. The tribes being no longer kept separate, would drift away from each other, L-se all trace of their ancestry, become a distinct people, without having any idea of a common origin ; and yet, by the fixed decree of God;, having the 'same terminus to their wanderings (as will be shown later). Arriving at this place, at different times, in different ways, they would reunite, but under the impression that they were a mixture of races; thus they vv ould lose their identity ; but we be lieve the time is nigh when their "blind ness" will be removed. As we read British history, we see that this is exactly the way that the British nation has been com posed. We are under the impression that we are a mixture of strange people ; yet upon inquiry, -we are able to trace back the origin of all these strauge people to the same part of tho earth, Media. Just as Israel must have been re-formed, we the British have been formed : we, Anglo Saxons, Normans, Danes, Belgians, Lom bards, and Franks, have blended together into one solid and harmonious nation Where was the terminus for the wandering Israelites to be? Lost Israel's location must be the " Isles."- Sacred history can give no plainer testimony than that, wherever Lost Israel is, they must be au insular people. So our British ancestry coming from Media, where Israel was made captive, traced there at the time of Israel's captivity, and not be fore. Media being our cradle, we yet again ally with Israuel's history by having become an Island people. (To be. continued).

ROYAL ASCOT, 1878.—THE GOLD CUP,

The Ascot Cup (the bare result of which appeared in our last issue), is run on the their day of the Royal meeting at Ascot. It is the greatest weight-for-age race of the world, and consequently a trophy greatly valued by turfites. The contest last Thurs day was "the 71st, as the Cup Avas instituted in 1807. In 1845 it was re-named the Em peror's Plate, out, of compliment to the Czar of Russia: but when the Crimean •war broke out the original title was re verted to. To wiu it a horse must be possessed of the highest staying powers, for the distance is two miles aud a half, and the course a severe one. Of living jockeys Fordham (who was probably on the back of Verneuil) has proved most successful, having ridden four winners, viz., Lecturer in 1867, Mortemer in 1871, Henry hi 1872, and Doncaster in 1875. It is also a notable fact that Verneuil is the fifth French--red horse who has won the race since 1800. The Ascot Gol__ Ccf, value 1,000 soys., with 200 for the second, and 100 for the third horse, added to a subscription of 20 fcovs. each. Weight for age ; 2. miles ; 21 subscribers. Count F. de Lagrange's eh c Verneuil, by Mortimer, out of Regalia, 1 years, 3stloi~ (Fordham) 1 Viscount Falmouth's bo Silvio, by Blair Athol, out of Silverhair, 1 years, Set 101b. (F.Archer) 2 Count Lagrange's eh c St. Christophe, by Mortimer, out of Isoline (Goater) .. ..3 Won easily. Four ran. Verneuil, by Mortemer (winner of the Cup in 1871), out of Regalia (dam of Regal, Regalade, and Clementine), is a chesnut colt bred by M. Lefevre, at Chamant, aud belonging to Count Lagrauge. As a two year-old he ran two or three -times in Eng land, but his only victory of note was in the Buckinham Stakes at Newmarket, when he defeated Silvio. As a three-year old he ran in no less than 14 races, winning five. Three of these were trivial French affairs, in fact the only event of importance which he secured was the Jockey Club Cup at Newmarket Houghton Meeting, when he defeated Belpheebe and St. Christophe. Silvio, by Blair Athol, out of Silverhair, belongs to Lord Falmouth, by whom he was bred. As a two-year-old he ran live times, and suffered only one defeat. His chief victory was the Clearwell Stakes at Newmarket, At three years of agegf he was unplaced to Grey Friar in the 3-year-olu Bieuuial at the Craven meeting. Ran third for the Two Thousand Guineas to Chaniant; won the Derby of £6,050, beating Glenartlmr, Rob Roy, and 14 others, also the Ascot Derby of £1,075, and ihe Doncaster St. Leger of £5,025. Finally, he ran second to Spring field for the ' Champion Stakes. St. Christophe, by Mortemer, out of Isoiine, was bred at Chu_ta_t like Verneuil. He only ran once in England as a 2-year-old, viz., in the New Stakes at Ascot, when he got third to Rob Roy. As a 3-year-old he made ten essays, six of which were successful. His most important victory was in the Grand Prize of Paris of £5,747, for which he started at the outside price of 33 to lin a field of seven. It is probable that Silvio started a hot favourite for the Gold Cup on Thursday last,andwe are rather sorry he was beaten, as Lord Falmouth has never won the event though he ran second last year with Skylark.

Sir,-1 have i_- honour to report for your in formation that tho s.unplo of lurporial Schiedam Schnapps forwai tied by you to mo has been sub mitted to a searchi-i; chemical analysis and critical examination, the rosuliof which enables mo to f,tato that it is the Finest Sample of Schnapps that has as yet como under my notice. It has a pure fragrant odour, and is absolutely free from any trace of fusil or other im'urious impurity, and has evidently been distilled from superior rye grain, always used instead of malt in tho production of the choicest qualities of Schnapps. It is very smooth to the palato, and in this respect compares favourably with other samples offered for sale. It may be advised as equally suitablo for medical or economic pur poses. I havo tho honour to bo, Sec, (Signed) Wm. Johnson, Analytical Chemist to tho Government of Victoria. This Pure Medical Spirit, Superior to any in the Market, and Lower in Price, is offered to tho Public under tho full conviction that it will supersede all others now in use.
