The Karaim Jews number 3,000 or 4,000 and live principally in the Crimea. They speak a Tartar dialect among themselves, and ethnologlcally ore much more like Tarturs than Semites. Their own legends, in fact, permit tho assumption that they were Khazars and were converted to Judaism in the eighth century. Their form of Judaism differs from that of the 5,000,000 or more orthodox Russian Jews in reject ing the talmud and traditional theol ogy altogether and confining Itsell strictly to the Mosaic revelation. It bas been a favorite amusement with the Russians for generations to pretend the greatest admiration and affection for this obscure little tribe. Mme. Novlkoff had her joke on tho subject here In London when she gravely as sured an interviewer some years ago that there never had been a law of any kind Issued in Russia against tho Jews. When this amazing assertion wai ques tioned she coolly explained that she referred to the Karaim Jews, as In Run sla they die not consider tho dfsclpite of the taloud wero Jews at all. Inas much as the Karaites constitute only a two-thousandth part of tho Jewish race If, indeed, it bo conceded that they belong to it at all tho Insolence of the Russian attitudo toward them is peculiarly exasperating to Hobrowa in general and tho spectaclo of theli being brought forward nt Moscow as the solo representnt'ves of Israel will mart and ranklo Just as the genial Slavonic character dolres it should.

Walker, commander-ln-chlcf of the 9rand Army of tho Repub lic, white ct the Tacoma hotel on April 29, relastj the following rather strik ing coincidence. He was in Chicago a the time Mr. Lincoln received his first nomination. On the evening of May IS, I860, tho day the nomination was made, Gen. Walker was at the old Mc Vlcker's theater und wltnesbed a per formance of "Our American Cousin" with Laura keene as the leading lady in tho cast. During tho performance the rugged, kindly fnce of Mr. Lincoln vns flashed by limelight upon tho cur tain, with tho announcement of the nomination of "Honest Abo Lincoln" as tho republican nominee for presi dent. Tho audience went wild with enthusiasm for several mlnutoa before the play could be resumed. Within & few days of five years afterward tho same play was being given at Ford's theater in Washington, with Laura Keene as leading lady.

Sometimes it beat high with hope, and the surface was radiant with light; frequently sorrow oppressed t, and its rays wer fainter and lefs glowing. There seems no more beuu tiful or more fitting association for the lovely opal to have. It almost has life in its center, and no matter how imall the stone If it be of pure origin the colors are as perfect and as vary ing as ta larger specimens. Get Healthy .Juror.
