ANGLO-JEWISH MARRIAGES. The receut marriage of Lord and lady Dalmeny recalls the fact that the bride- | groom's mother, the lato Lady Rosebery, ] Lad <beeu born Miss Hannah de hothschild. And in this relation it is of in- . terest to note the maay 3ewtw»es who , have married into our old fainmos, and , the way in which Jewish traits of feature and also of character can bo traced union* nreurbers of the aristocracy. And there°can be no doubt that, as a nation, we have gained on these alliances. Great wealth has been acquired; and, as time goes on, we see signs around us of some of those qualities for which the Hebrew race has become famous. Such, for instance, as thrift, sobriety, a love of business, a love of learning, and a respect Sor the domestic virtues. IN OLDEN DAYS.
