CHRISTMAS-A REMARKABLE
JEWISH OPINION.

Says the Chicago Tribune of Friday:
DR.. Emile G. Hirsch stood before con-
gregaItiOn in Zion Temple last night and
for nearly an hour and a half pleaded
with them to observe Christmas day as
the greatest of holidays. Among his hear
ers were men and women who had grown
gray in the belief THAT it was their reig-
i0uS duty TO scott at the celebration Of
Christmas day and to consider it merely
as the anniversary of one Of the greatest
Jewish prosecutions in HISTORY. DIR.
Hirsch among other things said:
I'VE rabbits have never asked you bus
mess men to close your stores ON Christ
mas day. We did not need to ask YOU
for on this day you could not do business.
We live under new conditions. To-day is
a universal holiday, and is neither Christ
ian nor Jewish. Suppose this lis the birth
day OF Jesus. There never lived a better
Jew than Jesus. The Jews did not cru
city Jesus-at least, the Jews Of the peo-
Pile did not. They had no reason to cru
dify him. Rome had him crucifed as
conspirator against her dominion over
Jerusalem. There may have been Jews
who took part in His crucifxiOn, but
there are bad and traitorous men among
all peoples. SO we may celebrate his
birthday. No one has revoluhonized hui
manity so much as Jesus. We of the
liberal church of Jews have no reason
ito protest at the name of Jesus. The
name of Him made it possible for
daughter religion to conquer the world.
We Jews are religion poor and race
proud. would have the Jews enter into
the spirit of this day Of peace on earth
and good will toward man. The birth
night Of Jesus was a night Of persecution
to the Jews, and this fact has caused us
not to celebrate Christmas day. But woe
to a generation OF Jews which turns that
night to a night of frivolity and SCOT
ing. If We cannot welcome, bet us at
least be silent on day so sacred to 9th
ers. 1t is a human day to men. 1t is the
dawn OF union among men,"

HIS LITERARY SLAVE.

Indicating a TALL MISUNDERSTANDING in
dividual, with flowing locks and suit OF

verse in his life-who never penned n

uoet and author, and is adding to that
reputation every day! Queer, isn't Ttr'

friend continued:
"He married n bright, talented woman,
and she has been a slave to him for ten
years"
"You interest me-" said. Lets have

ENGLISH NEWSPAPER CIRCULA-
TION.
G.ondon 90 In n. Y. Trlhnnel

Iondon letter in n. Y TribuneJ
Mr.. Ialoudbere was subjected to only
one annoyance during this trial. The
question was put to him: What is the
circulation Of Truth 2" "AbOut twenty
six thousand" he answered. Whether
he was sensitive or not on this point,
he concealed his annoyance admirably.
The value of newspapers here seems not
to depend upon circulation or advertis-
ing / know OF one weekly journal
which cannot be purchased, even at an
eXtoriOnate price. Its selling value APP
pears to increase with the annual loss
incurred in conducting it. Ihaye also
heard Of an evening journal whose value
represented by capitalized stock is now
eight times as great as the price paid for
it only a short time ago. and this increase
can hardly be attributed to any substan-
tial gains in circulation aud advertising
One Of the latest newspaper ventures has
been undertaken ON the novel plan Of linn
ijing the circulation to 1000 copies and
Of asking a high price for each imprint
as though it were an etching or engrdy-
ing Newspapers here seem to have a
fictitious value independent of circula-
ton and advertising. Rich men who
wish to be knighted or elected to Parlia-
men are always in the market looking a
bout for "a losing property" which will
bring them into nOtoriety and in the
course Of time carry them into the peer
age.
Mr.. La.boudhere's paper does not belong
to this class. 1T is a most profitable prop
erty, out of which he has amassed a great
fortune. Radical journal as it is, it is
found. on the library table Of every coun-
try house in England, and is eagerly read
on account Of its trenchant style and the
accuracy and variety of its social gossip.
Mr.. IAbouchere has succeeded in making
Truth" Indispensable to the titled and
fashionable class, whose interests he
opposes as a consistent and iTrecOncila-
BILE Radical Like William Morris, he
ministers to the pleasures of the rich
while pleading the cause of the masses.
Moreover, with a STRONG scent for Peck
sniffian hypocrisy and can't, he has done
a useful work in exposing shams, hum
bugs and impOsture Tt has cost him
heavily, as he admitted when in the
witness stand; but it has been a public
service which has dignifed his journal
and rendered it a refoImatory agency in
social life

HER SIXTH MARRIAGE.

A dispatch to the New York Sun from
Providence, r. l., says: The marriage Of
Mrs. Eleanor B. Linter to her sixth nus
band win occur next Tuesday ait the
Church Of Emanuel, and four of her ex-
husbands viii act as ushers. The entire
martial batch would have been present,
but the fifth man met with an accident
last week and is confined to his bed.
Contrary to the ordinary run Of such
affairs, the lady and all her former hus-
bands are on excellent terms. They are
also great friends of Mr.. Augustus This
tlewOod, who is to be the abundantly
married lady's sixth husband.
The future Mrs Thistlewood was Miss
Eleanor b. Riblet when she was first
married. Her husband was a Cleveland
Ohio, man. He is the one who is hurt
and has invited her and Mr.. Thistle
wood to spend their honeymoon at his
place, an Invitation which has been ac-
cepted.
In every instance the lady has obtain

convinced her spouses that they were not
