Converting the jews.

From nowhere else in the civilized
world in this year of Grace but the
dominions of the cruel and tyranni-
cal Gar, could come such diabolical
news as is contained in this dispatch:
st. Petersburg, Nov. PA ukase
has been issued that no Hebrew shall
henceforth be permitted to enter the
Creek Church unless his wife, chill
dren, brothers and parents do the
same. The object is TO put stop to
the practice by the Hebrews of sacri-
ficing one member of their family to
the Russian church. thus securing a
right to earn livelihood for all.
According to the new edict, unless all
the family become Christians they
may starve together. As may be ex-
pected the conversions To Christianity
are now frequent. The Hebrews are,
however, prevented from joining
either the Roman Catholic or Pro-
testant communions.

If the newspapers would refuse to

how much they should be paid, this
growl would be stopped. In another
campaign the Gazette will know all
ABOUT it before it publishes line.
This work for nothing and boarding
yourself in an endeavor to elevate u
few cheap men into public favor is
Improbable in every sense. But the
Gazette started in TO tell the Appeal
about the largest check thai was ever
drawn that we know anything about.
Ii was drawn by the Hon. &C. Pown-
