As a fisherman was crossing a field
on the way to his cabin near Penns-
grove some time since, the owner:
hired man Kissed the dog on him, which
resulted in a broken leg for the dog.
The fisherman went on to the cabin,
and was soon aroused by the door being
opened and the owner of the dog max
ing his appearance on the threshold,
and at once challenged the fisherman to
fight a dnel. The fisherman went out
and was struck with a club il 1.-THE hands
of the hired man, aud seeing that it was
two to one, selected as his weapon a
pile of brick, which was close by. The
owner of the dog seeing the state Of af-
fairs, drew a revolver, when the Usher
man ran in the cabin and secured his
double barrelled gun and gave them
just two minutes to get wei the fence,
which they did, and had a minute to
spare.

1t is stated by good authority that
there has been another marriage in
village. The tale runs thus: He went
to her house; he said let's get married;
she says all right; she got on her toy
gerry; they started; the parsons gate was
reached; he got weak in the knees; she
at last persuaded hi n; in they went;
the parson was not home; the ceremony
vas performed by one of the family; no
certificate was wanted; they left; that IS
all. Later: We hear that she calls
him husband; another divorce cast
looked for.

Jewish Soldiers.


In tho recent debate upon the Jews, and
their prosecutions, In the Observation-Disclosures
OF Deputies, the renowned General Klapkl
took occasion to eulogize in high terms the
valor of his Jewish fellow-coun.rymen and
their patriotism. He had seen them under
the walls of Komoru fight most bravely in
bloody sortfes and battles, and he could also
quote his old chief Kossuth's expressed opinion
as to their indomltable valor in the Hungarian
war OF independence and in the struggles OF
Poland for liberty. The jewish troops of
the Gar wero specially complimented
for their valor in the late war with Turkey;
and France had many bravo onlcer and SOL
dier OF Jewish descent fighting in the ranks
of her dashing soldiery ten years ago. On
this side Of the Atlantic the record Is bril-.
liant one also, and seems to be even better
appreciated abroad than at home, for we find
In the columns of tho Je1CiSh World eulogy
of American Jewish soldiers, which says:
1--WE have in the American civil wars q thou
sand instances OF jewish courage and patri-
otism. Already In the early days of the
Republic, in IT'S, we find Jew, Colonel
David Franks, figuring as aidc-de:camp to
teer Regiment, that took part in many OF the
battles between the North and South twenty
years ago, had mainly coreligionlsts in Its
ranks. One OF the Missouri regiments en-
gagged In the same war was principally COM
posed OF Jews, and one.half OF the line officers
Of the Sixth New York Regiment were Jews.
The officers of Colonel Einstein's Philadelphia
Regiment were mostly jews, and Generals
Lyon and Newman, who fell on the field OF
battle, were Jews"
Dul tuo jew Is naturally IL lnun OF peace
rather than Of the sword, preferring to put on
his uniform only when patriotism calls him
TO the defense of his native or adopted coun-
try. His war record is important to him only
when his patriotism is impugned as has been
the case where prejudice has sought to repre-
sent him las in Russia and Hungary as an
allen to the soil on which he lives. In this
country his patriotism and loyalty have never
been doubted and the record of his valor is
connected with every war In which his country
has been engaged. But before leaving the
subject we desire to call attention to 1t In con-
nection with a project which tho Leader has for
years had at heart, viz, the establishment OF a
Hebrew Historical Society to preserve the
record OF great American Jews who have de-
served we'll Of the country. The facts we have
quoted above are but surface indications of
the great treasure which awaits the student of
Jewish American history. By another genera
tion they may be forgotten, for the population
Is increasing 80 rapidly as to bury its old
traditions or drive them into obscurity. Pride
in Judaism should prompt us to do this thing,
and possibly there may come day when 1t
Will be necessary to point to the record, and
meantime II should be made complete.

The following scene took place at that
whirlpool Of mud, slush and jostlng human
ity, the corner of Winter and Washington
walking down Winter street; they were hand
somely dressed and were chatting and laugh

the roseate period of youth, and they seemed
tho very last persons who would be interested d
in suffering humanity. dirty and ragged
beggar woman, evidently nearly blind, was
crossing Washington from Summer street, and
was In great danger OF being run over by an
approaching team, when one OF these same
pretty girls darted to the crossing, took the
beggar woman by the arm and hurried her
over TO the sidewalk, where she left her In
safety, and then walked up Washington street
with her former companion as II nothing had

A Knotfy Question.


A correspondent offers the following ques-
tion to members of the bar who delight In
knotty problems In their profession: The
question has recently been raised whether a
man can be found guilty twice of the same
drunk. The facts were these: A man was ar
rested in Boston for drunkenness and gave q
recognizance to appear before the court in
that city. He then went Immediately to
Brockton, and was again arrested there for
being drunk, and gave another recognizance.
He was found guilty by the court In Boston,
and pleaded that judgment before the court
in Brockton on the ground that he had already
been convicted of the Same drunk. This was
poser for the court. Suppose he had kept
on from Brockton to other towns, could he
have been found guilty for the same drunk in
each town he might pass through from Brock
ton 10 the Rhode Island line :? Again, suppose
he had drunk single glass in Brockton and
others In Boston, could the court apportion the
"drunk" and say how much of 1t he was
guilty OF In Boston and how much in Brock
ton? The court held the case under ad wise
meQt,

Held on n Serious Charge.


Alexander Hogg, aged 4S years, married
man, living at $50 Madison avenue, was before
Justice Hamilton Mt the Northwestern Police
station on Saturday, charged with attempting
felonious assault on Miss Carrie Davis, a
domestic in the employ OF his son.in-law at
267 Druid Hill avenue. According to the
statements made Hogg called at the house at

there. She answered his ring, and he fol-
lowed her back into the kitchen. He made an
insulting proposal TO her and took hold OF
her. In defending herself she struck him on
the leg with hatchet, bur did not inflict any
severe injury. Her cries attracted the atten.
tion OF the neighbors, and by the direction OF
one OF them she ran out through rear gate
and escaped. Hogg was arrested Friday
night. He admitted the assault at the examl-
nation, but pleaded intoxicatlon as an excuse
Tor the ofense. Justice Hamilton committed
him for the action OF the Criminal Court,
