Respect for Parents.

The San Francisco Hebrew Oh.
server says: BY filial piety we
mean the exercise of those feeling.
of reverence, submission and love
and the faithful and conscientious
discharge Of those duties which
children owe their parents. The
first duty which children owe is to
their God; the second, to their
parents. They are his appoint
ed guardians, the season ol
helplessness and inexperience.--
God has intrusted him to their
care, and in return for that care he
requires honor and in obedience.
A child cannot be pious toward
God without being pious toward
his parents. Show us the boy that
honors his parents, and we will
show you the man that will obey
the laws of his country and make
a good citizen. Show us the boy
that is disobedient to his parents,
and turbulent and ungoverable at
home, and We will show you the
man that will set at naught the
laws of his country, and be ready
to do every evil work. When a
boy ceases to respect his father, or
honor his mother, and becomes
tired OF home and its sacred en-
dearments, there is very little hope
for him.

stealing a pair of chickens was
that while at work he hung his
coat near the coop and on going

A Witness Whacks it to all At

l. NJ. Jordan Knocked Down by E. NJ.
Tutwiler.

Just before the adjournment of Judge
Johnston's Court at noon to-day. and while
Mr.. Tutwller, the Engineer of the N. G. R.
r., was being cross-examined. some question
arose concerning the prices Of masonry
which was done prir to the employment o.
Mr. Tutwiler by that Road.
Mr.. !. NJ. Jordan, who was conducting
the cross-examination, intimated that MIR.
Tutwiler had testified before as to the val
lie of said masonry, which Tutwier and
Mr.. SAGE denied, when Mr.. Jordan init
mated that Mr.. T. would swear to any thing
the attorneys on the other side might
desire.
The witness thereupon left the witness
stand, and with clenched fists approached
Mr.. Jordan and demanded that he should
retrdct that statement or apologize.
At this juncture of the proceedings the
Court Bailiff interfered and the Court or
dered the witness back to the stand. After
Mr.. Tutwiler was discharged he walked out
into the hall and then waited for Mr..
Jordon, who when he came was approached
by Tutwiler, who again demanded an
apology, which Mr.. Jordan refused to give,
therenpon Tutwiler knocked him down and
a lively scuff1e ensued for several minutes,
when the parties were separated by mutual
friends. There is blood on the face of the
moon.
