A Hebrews Opportune Wit.

Coming out of the Benedictine
Museum, says Maury, in a letter from
France, pause moment opposite the
house No. 8 and admire the wit of
Hebrew who was very nearly hanged
over the doorway, in the year 1926, but
escaped by his presence of mind. He
was peddler, and had shrugged his
shoulders at the legend of the Precious
Blood, just then in more repute than
ever, for Charles x. had lately come to
the throne, and the Jesuits ruled mems
souls and bodies. The good folk of
Fecamp took immediate measures for
lynching the Hebrew, there and then,
with the leather strap that girt his pack,
and the moose was already round his
neck, when he roared to be allowed to
dip his lips in holy water from the
source at No. 10 rue de lAumone. His
request was graciously acceded to,
owing to the remark of somebody pres
ent that the water would probably
choke him. But the infdel had no
sooner drank than he tossed both arms
aloft and vowed that he was cured of
chronic rheumatism that had afflicted
him for the last ten years. The miracle
was too good to be lost, so the Jew was
released on promising to be christened
