A life, llie spun of whose ycnrs em braces n century, lain Itself u subject of b tran re interest ; but u life like that of Sir Moses Monrefiere whose ninety ninth birthday was honored in Itamsgute, the English Atlutitie city, hist week, Is tis BUggcstlve as the hundred jears of con temporary Mtery. A tower among the chiefs of the chosen people, u patriarch bale in years far beyond the allotted sum ethuman life, Sir Moses, honored b Christian kings and Hebrew plutocrats, revives all that is noble and Inspiring in the annals of the Heuse of David. Hern in the decade that saw the work of Vel- talre embody Itself in the great revelu Hen, the patriarch reading the folic! tatlens of royalty te day, came te a her itage of persecution, vicissitude and iKneminv. The writings of thoeyclopu'd lata had brought about the first steps of tolerance for all creeds, but the Hebrew. In Italy, Hie lamiet ins uirin, the rack and the Inquisition were still the ordeal of everything opposing papal rule. Kngland alene offered security te the hunted race, though tin statutes of the Stuarts were still in force When the young Moses Mon'eilero came with Ids father te Londen, from leghorn, in the closing years of the last century, the 'Mew" was still hated, bated, robbed and pillaged by the dissolute no bles, who mortgageJ te them their patrimony and paid them in per centage of cruelty and rapine. The Ilotut-ef II mover reigned, but, the spirit of the Stuar.s ruled. The Hebrew was the Gibeonite of a reckless and heartless hierarchy. Hut though beaten, imprisoned, robbed, scourged, the He brew ruled the argosies of every sea and kindled the moneys of every markut Londen was ttie Klalte of Christendom, and while the Hebrew in every city in Europe was ground down by insolent and restrictive laws, iu Loud n hu was ticitlyepuul before the altars of Mam men, if no where eke. Suppose the printing piess and the art of printing unknown, imagine the story this veteran, meekly receiving the world's honors, might tell' He was a lad of three when Miiabeau steed nndauuted in the Tenuis court of Ver sallies, facing the king's captain and defiantly proclaiming the invielabilty of the sovereign people in congress us sembled ; he wa3 a lad of nine when the Helots of Trance, man umitted from a slavery that had begun before Christ, led the descendant of a thousand years of kings tc the block and threw down the gage te the monarchs of Europe; with the first gliinpsis of the wonders of the history of his race, were mingled the awful convulsions that swept a proud aristocracy from the face of Europe ; simultaneous with the chap ters of his race that revealed the pun iilitutnt of Israel iu having kings, he nad, as we read the news of te-day, the story of Mary Antoinette, dialed te the block, iu the very spirit that sent the faithless monarchs of J udah te destruc tlen. A la! et ten tie saw the r.iggul hordes of the Republic sweep lUuneward te the destruction of the armies of Fred eric and the Heuse of Austi la. Playing in the park of St. James, his wondering eye3 must have often maiked the reeling groups that came from nights of debauch en Carleton terrace, te take up the business of state in St. Stephens figures which the world has come te marvel at, as the statesmen, Pitt, i'ev, heridan and Burke. "What a retrospect ' A hundred years of history, embracing thy consolidation of the American union, the advent of the Cersicau Bmaparte, the stupendous campaigns of Marengo, Jena, Austerlit, Moscow, Waterloo ! When he was ,i boy, playing at marbles, the first of the house of Rothschild was a frightened meuey lender, trembling in his iron grated house iu the Praukfert Ghetto, and burying the ducal jewels entrusted him in the cellar of hit squalid home. Endowed te day withevery right of the Insolent Christian, the veteran can remember when the twilight bell was the signal for his race te retire te their own quarter, net te lis semi in the city, under penalty of rack and screw. N'er need he cist se far back te recall that in free and liberal England his race were hardly above the plane of the African, possessing no civil rights that the djiuiuaut raei were bound te respect. He had reached man hood long before a Hebrew could sit in Parliament, and he was passing into the stage of the pitriarch before the aris tecracy opened its ranks te honor the conspicuous men of ttie Heuso of Israel. He was a benefactor and phil uithrepU, known whorever the wrongs of his race found tongue, when Jiis friend, the banker Rjthschlld, sat under the gal leries of the II )ine of Commens, denied for years the seat te which popular suCfrage had elected him. He was a man of mature years and power when Sir Walter Saett's matchless romance of " lvanhoe " gave the world the touch Ing tale of thu Jewish malden'rf beauty and ildelity. It is a wonderful story this centena rian could tell, If he were mluded, like the vizier lu the Arabian tale, te sit down and rehearse the marvels that have come te wa since Iir took ship from the blue waters of L-ighern and fixed himself lu the murky fogs of the Thames. Men whose eyes and ears have seen and lizard tin stupendous changes from Je.i i te SjJa-i may be counted en the fingers of one hand, but of all wheatlll survive, Sir M uei Mente flore and the Emperer William are by far the most striking lljriires. In the forces of clviliz.itIen the Hebrew patri arch ha? played a unra honorable, if losscenspiouous, part than the Christian king. Sir Moses has devoted 00 years le intelligent, effective and elevating bene faction ; the king has deveted 00 years te the degradation et a great people, the brutalizing of a generous youth, the embltterineut of nations and the tawdry Kiuiy ui me conqueror, tjlr .Moses has mude his wealth and Inlluence a comfort imd consolation in the need,, . ti. vi" i 1 1 ... . 7 ' ' '" liua made his Ill-gotten, gains the Beurce of "-heartburning reprisal. Identified with the scientific, literary and progres sive forcesef his age, Sir Moses Monte Mente Monte fiero Is one of these rare figures that lllustrate a century as well as a race. It was, with his fateful career lu mind, that Geerge Elliet wrote that noble tribute te his race, Daniel Derenda ; but remance at its wildest can hardly ex agger.ite the strange eventful history of the serene patriarch, receiving the fellcl Uitlens of the world, surround-1 by the beneficiaries of his half cenlun fgoed works Seme ('neil Athlce. Brether Risk, of the Huiminn, took the wreifg pig by the ear when he cred ited " the associate editor of the I.mt.i. I.mt.i. len.siKit, better known as Chairman Ilenst'l," with the various offences for which he berated him. Maybe It was net very pohte te tell Urether Risk that he underwent a very s ml of Tarsus like conversion from the principles of JelTei son ami the Democratic faith, of which they are the corner stone, but still it was tee true and opportune te be forborne, when Brether Uisk essayed te make sport ei the Jeffersen club and its costly carpet and fine adernlugs and elegant officers. We approve the Jeffersen club, and se tee, a year or two a. would Urether Uisk, being then in full ! lumage as a Democrat. De ubar. .m us he says because our young leaders are feels and our old ones dotards ;but if that was the cause of his evolution and revelation we respectfully submit te Urether Uisk, whether he did a very wise thing In leaving ns. When the leaders are all feels the wise man certainly lias un e!e gant chance te assert himself. New we will say for Urether Uisk that tie is net generally a feel. He is troubled with an unruly tongue oftentimes that betrays him into uti wise speech, but en the whole he has done very well as editor of the AV miner. much better, indeed, than any et his predecesseis, for the simple reason that he has brains, which noene befeie lilni ever had ; except, of ceutse, the genial Commedore who directs it, but who c mid net inspire his iustri"ri""'i We incline te the opinion that the leal reason why Brether Uisk joined the Uepnelicau church was because he found that there was mere room there for men of Inains He certainly found one for himself, ami he occupied it with great composure. He ought te retain that composure. He should wear an unruilled spirit even when wrongfully accused. If Brether Uisk really departed from the De mocracy because et its iuiquitits and embraced Republicanism because of its virtues, lie did se creditable a thing that an approving couscience is all that he needs te sustain the calmness of his spirit under the accusation that his political somersault was prompted by- ether motives. Tin: president bids fair te be the can- dulate of his party for re-election. The belief of his lriends is that he is the strongest candidate that can be selected, ('iilte probably they are riglit.
