A Row, and What Came Of II.

Moses IL Co. is the name of tailor"
ing firm which occupies one of the
seven-bynine shops on Commercial
street. Although Moses is little
man, not much bigger than a half a
minute, he comprises several men all
in one. He is both the senior and
junior partner of the concern-being
the Moses and also the Co. at the
same time. He is boss, "jouro and APP
prentice-a sort of tailoring trinity, rs
it were. Last Tuesday Moses & Co.
imbibed little too freely of tangle-
foot and got jolly-from grave to gay,
from solemn to severe. 1t happened
that at this time a certain peddler
named julius Iemansky came. into
the shop, and in the course OF CONVEX
sation II dispute arose between him
and Moses & Co. concerning their re-
spective understanding of the Hebrew
language. The tailoring firm waXed
wrathy, and Selling the peddler by
the collar, showed him over n sewing
machine-the firms property, by the
way-and broke it. Some other little
unpieasantness ensued, without mate
rial damage to anybody, and then
Moses & Co. wanted pay for the
broken machine. The case was YES
terday taken before Justice Traflord,
and facts elected Us above. Moses &
Co. testified to the most astounding
things in the most astonishing way.
Although his evidence did not cores
pond to the facts in the case, that made
but little difference; the firm swore to
win, and was bound to beat at all haz-
ards. Moses & Co. was not drunk
did not get into dispute-did not lay
hands on the peddler at all-in fact,
was entirely innocent. But the truth
was clear, according to the statement
of deponent, that " the peddler kicked
Moses & Co. on the head with his fist.u
Notwithstanding all these wonderful
statements, the defendant came out
first best in the suit and was released
from all cost and damages. So it was
settled that the pcddler was the better
Hebrew scholar. The tailors machine
was a total wreck, and besides the eX-
pense Of repairing the damages, he had
twenty dollars costs to pay the Court
