THRILLING INCIDENT I'M RUSSIA.

tied by the Russian Car:
II is well known that there are several sail.
ors in the Russian fleet who are Jews. At

sion by the Emperor, two sailors particular.
y excited his attention, by both. the precis.
ION with which they performed several diff.
cult manrnvres, and bv the agility and da.
ring which they displayed. The Emperor
was so much pleased that he Immediately
promoted one to be captain; the other he
appointed to he lieutenant en- the spot.-
There is, however, an usage forbidding the
Jews To wear an epauleile; and the admiral
OF the fleet, who stood by the Emperor.
knowing that they were Jews stated the diff.
.hrully to his imperia Majesty. "Pshaw Z"
cried the Emperor, "lhat does not signify in
the least - they shall Immediately embrace
the Greek religion, of course" When this
determination was communicated 10 the two
young men, sorrow and despair seized upon
them al the thought of receiving honor and
promotion on such memorable terms. Know.
ing that remonstrance or refusal would be in
vain, they requested Of the Emperor Der.
mission to exhibit still more of their mannu.
vres, as he had not seen all that he could do.
This being granted, they assembled to the
top.masl. embraced each other, and, locked
in each others arms, threw themselves into
the sea and disappeared forever. What eff.
