OUTRAGES IN ODESSA.

The Story of a Irarty of Jewish v Refugees.

AMONG the passengers by the steamer Colima, -which arrived at San Francisco from Panama about a week since, were four refugee Russian Jews, the firatto resch this far western haven of persecuted peop'es. They are!Max|Shipper,formerly a bank clerk of Odessa, Thomas Abraham, a draught of. Warsaw, and Marcus »nd Henry Lindao,' brothers, of Odessa. Marcas was employed in the Cnstonvhmise, but soon after the first breakout ia Odesst wus discharged, by ordera from the headq'inters of the Customs service. Henry was employed by a Jewish merchant, whose business wa3 ruined by liots, and the clerk was compelled to Beck America with his companions. These un fortuaate Hebrews wcra sought ou>; b/ a " Chronice" reporter, and from Max Shipper the following statement was .obtained: ONE EXPKRIESCE OF MANY. ■" I held a lucrative and promising posi- ' tion in one of the largest bank* of Odessa, ■which was controlled by Christians, the greater part of the bank's business being •svith Christians ia exchanges oo London. E'aris and Berlin, this necessitating a •oarrespoadence wbich was wholly con ducted in French, and I tilled this resp-n ---aible position, being well versed in French and German, as well as in my native lan. Ruage. So-m after the first outbreak against the Jews in Odessa _ I was dis «Harged, the reason given being that the

patrons of the bank had expressed their determination not to transact business with a Jew or with any iirm or corporation em ploying one." " Had your employers provious to this been satisfied with your conduct 2" asked the reporter. " I was led to believe so, as I was em ployed in the bank for two years prcviou* to my discharge, entering the kink when I left college at a monthly salary of one hundred roubles, my salary at the time of my discnarge being live thousand roubles in a year. The first outbreak in Odessa occured on a Sunday, about the middle of May, at 4 o'clock in thu afternoon, when a half drunken mob, composed of men and boys, began the work of destruction in the market-place by attacking a Jewish res taurant-keeper, entering his premises and demolishing the building and furniture, firot, however, consuming a quantity of the liquors contained in the place. This having given them a zest for further simi lar work, they divided, and taking different streets, proceeded to the business portions of the city, one crowd advancing to the location ot the first-class business houses, the other proceeding to the meaner business portion, the two quarters b<;ing a consider able distance apart. When the riotors left the market-place they numbered abi>ur, 300. The Jewish families iv the immediate vicinity hearing rumours of the troublo which had taken place in the market-place, became alarmed and made preparations for a sudden departure, which precautions, by later events, proved to have been well taken. All the homes occupied by Jews were attacked and demolished in the line of march to the business part of the town.'* " How were the houses of the Jews distin guis lied from those of the Cnristians ?" 11 The Christians had images of Jesus hung in their windows, and some of the Jews ladoptcd the ruse of placing similar images in their windows, but in most cases it availed nothing, as the occupants were known to some ot the rioters. THE RIOT AT ITS HEIGHT, " The first division having reached tbeir destination, proceoded to rob and destroy everything that was known to belong to the Jews, inciting each other to a high pitch of iuiy by loud cries and shouts and frequent indulgence in liquor obtainod from the wine vaults sacked In the progress of their work of demolition. Those- who undertook the work iv the poorer portion of the town went to still greater extremes. Not only did they rob and destroy every thing, pouring petroleum on such goods, as could not otherwise be destroyed, but here began the attacks on the peisons of the Jews, one man being stoned and beaten to death while attempting to defend his pro perty, and a young married woman, in the absence of her husband, in trying to pre vent the rioter's entrance to her house, was struck with an axe, and her breast severed from the body." "How do you account for the ciuclties practised there ?'' " By the larger number of bar rooms ex. istiug in that portion of the town offering i greater facilities for the rioters getting in toxicated, and consequently moreagsreß sive. " Yes, the police were aware of the 1 troubles existing and were present while most of the outrages were perpretrated, their only interference being to prevent in cendiarism. As for the soldiery, they made quite a profitable thing out of it, retaining jor themselves such parts of the booty brought to light as could easily be concealed on tbeir person, and, you may he sure, taking only such articles as were particu liirly valuable, such as jewellry, money, &c. This i iotiug continued until midnight, when the mobs, now numbering some 30UO, retur ned to the marketplace. They were here surrounded by the guardians of the peace, no one being allowed either iDgress or egress. At daylight nil who were sober enough were permitted to go home, and those who were too intoxicated to walk were taien iv charge by the police and in carcerated. A quiet of about seven days then ensued, the Jews who had fled retur ning to their homes, but in fear and trem bling. On the following Sunday another outbreak occurred, very similar to the first, such portions of tbe town, as had not pre viously suffered coming in for their share of the mob's attention. These outbreaks are continually recurring, even at tho pre sent time." HOW JUSTICE IS METED OUT. " Well, was not justice meted out to the wrong-doers ?" , "I don't know what you call justice, but if you call an imprisonment of from two days to two weks inilicted on the aggres sors, and two months on the victims of these outrages for resisting the attempts to despoil them of .their all, then, yes, justice was done. During these various troubles about 14000 Christians were arrested and 2050 Jews. The evil results of these pro ceedings soon began to appear, and bank ruptcies became numerous not only among the Jews, but among the wholejmeicantile commnnity. Trade became depressed, and the Jews began to cross tho border. In the outbreaks subsequent to the first, no more violence was done to the Jews personally, for the simple reason that no Jews were to be seen, who, as soon as an alarm was raised, preferred losing their property to endangering their live 3. Most of thuse who crossed the border remained atßrody, in Austria, where they were cared for by the agents of the Universal Alliance of Paris, the central city of Jewish philanthropy. About the end of July an outbreak occurred in a suburb of Odessa, on the occasion of a ballooo ascension. A large crowd gathered to witness the affair, among them many Jews and Greeks, who were employed in the grain warehouses located in that neigh bourhood, and who also resided there. Of these, the Jews were attacked and their houses demolished, the Greeks who for merly had been friendly with them, siding with their enemies. Again, in the early part of August, the shipping and buildings used for the handling of grain in transpor tation attracted the .nefarious attentions of the populace. It is a well-known fact that the entire grain trade is in the lands of the Jews and the Greeks, but the Ureeks and their interests remained unharmed." " What has become of the fugitives from Odessa?" " Most of the Jews who left Odessa went to;Brody, where it was knowa an agent of tbje Universal Alliance of Paris was sta tioned, he being sent there by the society on the report of the first troubles. From Brody the people are distributed through the various large cities of Europe and Ametica. Many of them show a preterence for this side of the water, saying, " We have hai enough of a couotry ruled by a King, and

' want to go to a land where we can enjoy privileges the sameas the'rest of the people.' ■ That is why I came to this country, though I have not a single relative or friend in it. i In tbo cities where there arc no agents of i 'ho Alliance we are under the care of the ra' b s of the city, by all of whom, both ■ her-* aud elsewhere, we have been very I kiudly treated." UNWILLINGNESS TO AVOKK. " Complaints have been made in the L United St.it -s that the Jewish refugees ar riving irom Russia are unwilling to work, ! except it may ba to peddle, ami have become a s^ro burden to their co-reliogion ist3. What has been the result of your ob servations ?" " I have heard of these complaints. The idea that the Jews arc not willing to work is caused .by the fact those who are arriving ■ ving aro in great part men who have boon engaged iv mercantile pursuits, and conse quently are unlitted.ior manual labor. They cannot Oigagc as clerks or salesmen, ; as they have no knowledge of the English language; but I think that this will be remedied as soon as it becomes known that iliis ia the cause of our not being able tv take care ot ourselves immediately on our arrival. All the men who can laise Jifteen roubles to reach Brody are doing si>, there being now at that town some 12,000 from Oiles-a only, awaiting (ran pjftatiou. t-ome of the more religious Jews cross to Pulestiue, -where they can cost of all enjoy tli- ir religion* rights." The same story regarding the outrages was substantially related by the others in terviewed. Thomas Abraham, who was <:ngoged in the drug business, realising but 20 per cent.of its value. Proceeding to >Sr. Pc orsburg, he obtained a situation, \vi"th a salary of 300 roubles a rrionth and board, but wa? ordered to leave that city, and then went to Bn dy, from there coming here, Of Ilia oxpcr.cnci in this country he fOtd : " S'jon after my arrivtil in New York I obtaired work ova farm, but after working for six days became so ill that I was force! 10 quit a ail return to New York. I lnvc ncvir been a.custoniid to manual labour, educated for the drug busiunss, and am also a practical chemist, and wotill be very glad of an opportunity to get a position in a laboratory." The cause of the small portion of the working classes and craftsmen arriving here is attributed to the troubles being mostly confined to tho Urgcr cities, where most Jews ar« engaged in business, the into ior not yet having suffered.

Better Thoughts for Quiet Moments.

What a wealth of pleasant memories may be recalled by a rose or a forget-me-not! what tender regrets may cling lovingly to a snowdrop or a lily of the valley ! The love of flowers is one of those rare passions which may be indulged in without fear of disappointment; it will purify the thoughts and elevate the mind, making the heart that is tilled with such love clean and pure, "even as a little child's," Two petsons who have clusen each other out of all the species, with a design to bo each other's mutual comfort and entertain ment, have, in that action, bound them selves to be good-humoured, affable, dis creet, forgiving, patient, and joyful with respect to each other's frailties and imper fections, to the end of their lives. Death does not end all. It ends proba tion. Sometimes iv life little defects hide great virtues. Habit is a cable. We weave a thread of it each day, and it becomes so strong we cannot break it. The trial which docs not lift :i cloud or open a new outlook upon the world lias failed of its purpose. There is in the silent inllucn.ee of the seasons more power that iv all the storms that ever swept o^vor the earth since crea tion. Arab Proverb.—The idle word that I speak to-day, shall I not meet it agaia and again at the crossings of the ways until the world shall be no more. You must not yield to customs, but like the anvil, endure all the blows until the hammers break theml el ye?. When misre presented, use no crooked means to clear yourself. Clouds do not last long. If in the course of duty you are tried by the mis trust of Mends, gird up your loins, and say in your heatt, "I was not driven to virtue by the encouragement of friends, nor will I be repelled from it by their coldness," Finally, be just and fear not, In the height of thy prosperity expect adversity, but fear it not; if it conies not, thou art the more sweetly possessed of the happiness thou hast, and the more strongly confirmed ; if it come, thou art the more gently dispossessed of the happiness thou hast, and the more firmly prepared. The world's workers, however humb'e their toil, are a more honourable company than its idlers. Refined employments, when pursued without inspiration, are no more elevating than coarser ones ; for occu pations,like bodies, receive their value from the soul that animates them.

Give not the tongue too great a liberty, lest it take thee prisoner. A word un spoken is, like the sword in the scabbard, thine ; if uttered, tby sword is in another's hand. Jf tliou desire to be held wise, be so wise as to hold thy tongue. —Francis Quarles.

For never shall man's choosing till Time's end, Cooose the base life and find the best again; Nor ever the dear love of maid or friend In weak impatience of the spirit's gain Crush in his heart, and gentle Faith offend, And lose not with Love's loss Life's richest gain.

Supremacy of the Bible — Infidel* may scoff at portions of the Bible; they may attack ietached pieces of its morality, or laugh at details of its history, or bring out with triumph the supposed incongruity of some of its doctrines—all this and more they have done and will continue U do ; but if they have any remains of fairnes-1, they will at the same time admit the mar vellous literary supremacy of the Bible, even in translation, its unique power to soothe and to alarm the conscience, its extraordinary unity of tone from Genesis to Revelation, its adaptation to the genius of every nation iuto whose language it has been rendered, its authority at every stage of civilisation.— Bampton Lectures. " Two soles that beat as one," remarked the boy to his mother, as she was dealing with him for his sins with both slippers at once.

FOR THE LADIES.

To a lover there are but two places in all the world —one where Ms sweetheart is, and the other where she isn't. Does it teem the correct thing for a glee club t9 sing under a lady's window as a serenade, "D.ar]iug, you are growing old?" We saw a young man with two heads on his shoulder* the other <lay, lint didn't con sider it much of. a curiosity. One belonged to his gill. If there is any tiling iv the world that will make a mule laigh, it in to see the man with a glass eye trying to wink at a pretty girl. It is stu'ed that Ooloocl Jngersoll, the freethinker, owes his religious prejudiecs to an overdose of stepmother in hi.s early youth. " When 1 lost my wife," says a French writer, " every family in tho town offered mo tui'ther; but when I lost my horse no cvi offered to make h ru good." A St. Louis lady sajs it is no worse to encircle v lady's waist with your arm iv a ball-room than hit" your friend's sister ou the back siaits "No worse !" exclaims a, Eo iia editor. " Why it's not ai good !" A West Side woman had her tongue paralysed last week from playing the hariuunita, ami the next day, when it was generally known, every other married man in the town bought a harmonica and took it home to his wife and then went outside the house and s ood ou his head iv the snow. The lady who has brought an action for £5,000 damages against, Mr Higga* for br«<iuh of promise of marriage is a relation of the treasurer of the Irish Laud League. A contemporary ha.s this startling piece of intelligence:-" Nothing will lie worn this spring by the fair sox except longitu dinal striped hose." We presume thi.4 attractive though soinowhat picturesque costume will not become the rage until the wiuui weith'T sets in. An Ingouioui Invention.-—A njw braclet, outwardly of a most chastp, innocent, and beautiful design, but iuwardly a ravening wolf, lias ju«t been invented and thrown on the market. It has a wicked soct-ut tprinj,', that roaches out and nips a fellow by tuo cull' thu moment ho touches it, and holds , him there until "pa" c.,u\ eoino intu the parluur, aud gazing stervlv Upon the afl'eo tiouate and perturbed tableau, demaiid of the young man what are hi.s intentions. A curious lawsuit has b eti commenced in Paris. . M.

UoJiito fur atrears of salary, and other real or fanciod grievances, the i'ari itians may expect a peep behind the Bcenes of professional magnetism in the pereon of one of its cleverest adepts. Duty at any cost ia confined to no rank or sex. The Legislature of lowa has just voted to give Kate Shelley, a sixteen years old Irish girl, a gold medal and $200 for her bravery in saving a passenger train from a fatal plunge iuto Honey Creek, near Moi«goatt,"i Uoone County- During tha night of the Gth of July, IBSI, the bridge over the strf am had co >c down in a storm with an cjgineand tauder that fell 25 feet into the rushing wotcr. Kate, hearing the p'u-ige aad«ries fo: h lp, hastily rigged up an old lantern, and hurried through the thick brushwood t) the broken badge. When she reached it two of the me a were drowned, but the engineer had climbed into a tree >above the swollen stream. Sic told him to Hold on and lie would be saved. Then the brave girl suddenly remembered that t'/C passenger train from the Wrst was nearly due. Lightning was Hashing at intervals, and she know that the enyiueer of the pasaangcr train would n t recjgnise her feeble light. The oivy c.ia ice of warn ing was to reach tho station, a mile away. The long bridge over the Dcs Moiucs river was crossed on hands and knee?. At length she reached the station, and fell fainting in the doorway, but was roused in tine t > save the train. Then, guiding a Sirty of men to the wrecked bridge at oney Crjek, she saved tae livos of two who had climg to trees and roots, but the others were never found. Kate was dan gerously ill for a long time ufter her brave night's work. lowa boasts in her a new Grace Darling, and the bravery of this little Irish girl.will long be told ia song and story with tbepathos that belongs to it. "Good Company" for Life,—Girls in marrying, if you would ensure happi ness, c!koS3 a congenial comparion—wh • is " good company" alwaye. If, though he be handsome/you grow a little tired of him in a few hours—if, though he be able to offer you a fortune, you can't think of much tosav to each of-'cr—if, alter the conventional cjoing aud kissing, there is really nothing between you, and you do not want to chatter with him, and he finds refuge in the newspaper—if there are no cozy times, and when yon are not love milking there ia a sort of dead wall between yon, you will''not be happy together. People do not generally b 11 and coo after a few years of marriega, but congeniality binds man aud wifetogether more aud more as the years go by. If there be any good in you middle-aged and aging folk, you kuow it comes of your intercourse with little children. This in divers ways. Life is freshened. Hope re vives, thinking of all the impossibilities of anew start and a new career. The good which never cirae to you may come to your little boy or girl. Selfishness, that grows vpon the solitary, is broken in upon. You are trained, natura'ly and pleasantly, to think of others and to work for them : you cheerfully give up your own enjoyment for the sake of the little fo k, never even think ing that you are doing so. But there are great sorrows too. I do not even suggest sucH a thing as one turning outill; that must net be. Only, witu such a possibility for a moment in the mind, go and' lead Words worth's " Michael;" and 1 think you will be aware of a homely pithus never exceeded in human writing or human speech. Ah, set beside that, pages over which tears in numerable have been shed, turning to a shallow falsetto. I do not here suggest the parting that is made by the Great Change. Only that months slip away, and grow into years ; and the time comes when they rnunt go out from the Home, must go away and think and act for tnemselves, the little boys and girls who (you used to think) could not be safe out of your sight. These are things too sacred to be spoken much of; 1 we keep them to ourselves.

NOT BY CREED, BUT BY FAITH.

(From the New Bible Magazine.) I do not know |the steps that I shall take, And all the turns and"windings I may make. To reach the goal that may bo near or far ! But in.the distance Christ shines like a star. A b idge, perhaps, may help mo o'er a stream, Or, at the tesr. a ford may safer scorn : ThU Btafl', or that, in need my limbs may st3y: I oaly know that I can Bee my wiiy. Yoor stepping Btoncs, though firmly plnctS they be. May prove the worst of stumbling blocks to me I scorn no aid, refuse no helping nand, But press right onward to the Better Land. Your mnpß and charts, though well and clearly ■- drawn, I May fail to guide me aa I journey on ; Build or>einove your landmarks as youmay> I know thai; straight before me lies the way, I hunger not for systems anrJ for creeds, While steadfast faith can b -tisfy my needs ; I tread the path that better men have trod, And hope, through Christ, to find my way to God.
