Trial Of an American In Prussia.

A letter in the New York Herald, dated

"A case was tried the other day in the
Criminal Court Of this city, IL which young
American was involved law student by
the neno Of Sprigg, who halls from the State

red a. early as last October; but the course ct
Justice i ~ tard7 in this country that the tr!-
a has only just come on. Ga the evening OF
the 10th OF October, Mr.. Sprlgg was standing
with some Of his fellow students az the cor
ner Of the LeipZiger Strasse, when q Prus-
sian officer, Lieutenant Won llOileben, came
along in full uniform engaged as tits stated,
in the performance OF his military dulles
In passing the grOun OF students bis ears were
saluted with something resembling hiss, and
he approached them to inquire whether tins
sibilsnt sound was intended for him. The
tone IN which prus-!an lcutenants are apt
TO address civilians Is not exactly what
Americans, and especially Syntnern gentle
men, are II ed 70. InsIeai Of answering the
inquiry, therefore, Mr.. Sprigg asked him, In
return, what he meant ly such question,
and proceeded incoptiuently u seize Won
Holleben tv the collar, whereuuou the latter
drew Ills NNUTN anu llDlCltu d c'FO'N wv ny
on his antagonists arm and another upon
his forehead. You will imagine, perhaps,
that it was IOlleben who WAS tried Tor TINS
assault: but things are managed differently
here, and il is the unlucky Mr.. Sprlgg who
has been prosecuted for attacking an othcer
ia the discharge of his duty. The puUic
accuser WAS of opinion that three weeks I'M
prisonmen, was the very least he could be
sentenced to for such an fence; Tut 10 con-
sideratyn that, as q foreigner, he was not
sufficiently aware OF the high and mighty
character of the parsonage he had to deal
with and, nnaly, that the lieutenant hin-
self had cousepted TO drop the prosecution,
the court &C Quilted the defendant. 1t should
be mentioned, by the way, that a RUSSIAN
officer, who always goes armed cap-apie, Is
iustlE I'd by law in drawing HE sword on an
unarmed adversary, II ptrGonaIly 'nsuItea ny
