. II is well known that in Poland the at.

The lowest class. practising in the lower
courts, Is designated Us patrons; the Sc
cond, practising in the Court OF Appeals, Il:
advocates the third, of the Senate, ~,
known Is 'nmccnas. 1t usually requires q
period of twelve years before a patron can
become an advocate. Recently two Jews,
Mcssrs. Alexander kratiSharr and Simon
RodZyn, practising for the last three years
us patrons before the civil court in Warsaw,
have been promoted to advocatcs--he first
instance where Il Jewish .illrlst has in Poland
attained such a position
The correspondent further remarks that,
with the exception of Roumania, there is
probably no country in Europe where there
is such strong prejudice against the Jews
us that entertained by the PoIis! Christians.
Only the humane Russian Government has
effected Il change and made efforts to lift up
the Jews to a higher moral and intellectual
position, encouraging those who exhibit
talent and ability, and protecting them
GENERALLY.
