=. Strange Story from Jerusalem.
Cur friends of the Hebrew faith
will doubtless feel much interest in
knowing of certain strange develop
ments which, according to the Aus
trian newspapers, have manifested
themselves in Jerusalem. These de-
velopments refer to the coming this
year of the Jewish Messiah. The
story, as told, is certainly singulr
enough. 1t appears that the Rabbi
of Paks, town in Hungary, has re-
ceiVed letters from Jerusalem which
state that towards the end of last
month a column of fire was seen near
the ruins of Solomen's temple, and
that q strong voice was heard which
addressed itself to an Israelite WHO
was Worshipping there at the time.
This voice warned the devotee of the
coming, this year, of the Messiah,
and declared that the Israelles should
repeat, and be more observant of the
religion of their fathers. The mau so
addressed then went to the city and
spoke Prophetically Of what he had
heard. Thereupon the peopls treat
ed him as an imposter, and some
even went SO far as to seek to take
his life: but, as If miraculously en-
lowed with more than human
strength, fought hundreds of his as
ssilanls, and when, afterwards, bat
talon of soldiers was sent to arrest
him, baffled them in their eff
forts to capture him. Two Israelites,
the Hungarians say, have been dis
patched to Jerusalem to learn the ex-
act facts OF this extraordinary affair.
1t is clear, that if not one of the race
of prophets, the man who, as above
narrated, opposed this host of enc
mics must be an athletic of no small
pretensions ~ 2. Star.
