With a wounded and broken heart
did the sage leave the presence of Ru-
fus; streams of tears flowed from his
eyes and descended upon his beard
many sighs escaped from the depths of
his heart, and he moaned:
.Woe unto me! my eyes have seen the
destruction Of Jerusalem, and the burn
~ing~of our sanctuary, and now [ am to
behold the devastation of Bethar and
the terrible suffering in store for the
remnant of Judahl
At this groan of Rabbi Eliezer, a voice
from on high like the report Of rolling
thunder responded; Thine eyes will not
behold this great evil, for before it will
come thou wilt be gathered to thy faith
ers."
When the sage heard this divine voice
his spirit was restored, and with calm
heart he returned to his house He re-
commended his only daughter to the
protection of God; whilst he covered
himself with sackcloth and ashes. He
would not even eat dry bread nor drink
any water: he gave himself no rest and
allowed his eyes no sleep but constantly
prayod to God that the evil may be evert-
ed. and mercy be shown to the remnant
Of Judah. His nation and heritage.
At that time Papus came to the house
Of Shimeon Bar Cochba and handed him
the letter which Rabbi Akiba had sent
through him; he also informed him that
all the people were willing to rise as one
man and to expel the Romans from the
land. but that their hearts were not bold
enough to commit any definite action
unless all the sages and scribes would
consent. He also told him that among
the rabbis there were many who loved
the Romans and sought their welfare
and prosperity; and that he even knew
the names of a good many sages who
were an obstacle to the realization OF
their plans, as for example Rabbi Ellie
zer Hamodai.
"What do you know or what have you
heard about that man?' exclaimed Shin
con, mgrily.
Il do not know anything, but [ have
heard from truthful men that hc....
'What did you hear? Speak, shouted
Shimeon.

who were his rivals and foes. Ignorant
youth! how dare you be so impertinent?
Do you imagine that a beardless and
contemplate slave will be allowed to
fight with his master and ruler. Such a
great honor shall not be bestowed upon
you. But as [ am anxious to see your
great power and strength, you shall fight
with the king Of beasts. You are from
the tribe of Judah who was compared to
a lions whelp, and who bore upon his
flag the image of a lion. [ have also
heard that you was born when the sun
had reached the constellation Leo, when
it proceeded to Virgo, therefore
you must fight with the lion before you
can obtain the virgin You need not be
afraid to fight with the lion, for Samson
the hero of your nation, rent lion as if
he would have rent a kid.
After he had thus spoken he winked
with his eyes, and in moment there
were brought heavy chains wherewith to
bind the doomed Shimeon; but Shimeon
Immediately grasped the chain and an
grily broke it as a thread of tow is bro
ken when it toucheth the fire. He then
said: L will fight with the lion, but as
long as there is a breath of life in me no
man shall bind me and live!"
At that moment Shimeon was sur
rounded by armed soldiers, and taken to
the terrible place where men fight with
wild beasts in the presence of numerous
people. Papus went through the ave-
nues and streets of the city and called
upon all the inhabitants to assemble at
the large amphitheatre, in order to wit
ness the fight between Shimeon Bar
Cochba and young lion From all sides
did merry and pleasure seeking people
flock to the theatre to enjoy the sight Of
the combat between Judah hero and a
terrible lion. Rufus sat in the bench
reserved for the aristocracy, which was
situated opposite the gate whence the
dcyouing animals proceeded to fight
with human beings. On the gallery sat
all the lords, officers. and Il great many
of the Roman generals; there did also
sit the priests of Jupiter and Mars and
the judges of the province. Above them

When Shimcon arrived at Rufus pal
ace, he was commanded by the door
keeper to remove the arms which he had
on his person, for no armed man could
be admitted into the governors presence.
After Shimeon had diyested himself Of
his weapons, soldiers ushered him into

anxiously bent upon the rink where the
combat would take place. Suddenly Ru
fus motioned with his hand, and the
executioners hastily brought Shimeon
Bar Cochba and placed him in the
rink The doomed man was naked, bare
foot and unarmed. The silence became
terrible, and the immense throng altern-
ately rejoiced and feared; their hearts
trembled at one moment and rejoiced at
the other. Rufus motioned again, and
in a moment the cage was opened,
whence issued terrible lion with fright
ful roar and fell upon Shimeon. The
Romans clapped their hands and APP
plauded heartily, for they believed that
the lioa would annihilate his victim in a
second; but events did not justify their
conclusion. Shimeon stood frml y against
the lion and looked at him boldly and
fearlessly, whilst the lion became fright

about ten steps did the wild beast move
backwards and roared, when he regained
his brute courage, and with terrible
yell he jumped upon Shimeon; but ile
left him again this time when he saw
that his victim stood as frml ly as a heavy
rock in the midst of the ocean, and that
he looked him calmly Y in the eye. At the
distance of five steps from Shimeon the
lion kneeled and crouched down, from
the depths of his breast did he roar and
yell, and with bloody burning eyes he
glared upon his antagonist, who stood
calm and fearless, and who did not re-
move his eyes from him. Profound 81

The following from the San Francisco
Bulletin of the 27th ult. may he of interest to
attorneys: "The State Supreme Court Mon
day rendered decision which is Of interest
to attorneys throughout the State. 1t has
been customary from time immemorial for
Courts to request attorneys to defend impe-
cunious prisoners, notwithstanding the fact
that no pecuniary allowance is ever made
for their services. Judge Clark, of Sacra-
mento, requested young attorney Of that
county to take charge of the defence in case
of this kind some four months ago, but the
lawyer declined the honor, seeing that there
was no compensation attached to it. The
refusal was adjudged a contempt of Court
and a small fine inflicted. Monday the
right of the Court to compel the attorney TO
undertake the case was argued in the Su-
preme Court upon a writ of habeas corpus.
The decision was against the attorney, and
it may, therefore, be regarded as now settled,
that Courts have the right to demand such
services from members OF the bar"

edy military character. In the Republican
Convention General led off by proposing
the candidate who got the nomination for
Governor, and the Convention then chose
one General as its nominee for Lieutenant
Governor over another officer of the same
rank and also over Colonel The Green.
hackers selected General to run for Gov
ernor, but the military, under the lead oftwo
Generals, afterwards withdrew from the Con
yention, as a result Of dispute about the
platform. Finally, the Democrats assem-
bled, choosing General as their chairman
