RABBI FLEISCHER.

To The EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL see by
The Journal that the people of Belfast are to
have the privilege of listening to Rabbi
Fleischer of Boston, and am sure that those
who take advantage of this opportunity will
find that what you say of him is true. In this
connection l am reminded of the following:
On one occasion his eminence William Cardi-
nal O'Connell said to the Rabbi: "Fleischer,
when are you going to begin to eat pork?"
Like flash the reply came, cat your emi-
nence's wedding" On another occasion Rabbi
Fleischer arose from his S, at in trolley car to
offer it to a woman, but before she could take
the seat man "hogged" it. The Rabbi fixed
his eyes on the man, and held them there
whereupon the man became uneasy and said
"Why do you stare at me, you look as if you
intended to eat me!' Rabbi Fleischer replied.
81 can't, I'm Jew!"
Yours truly
GEO. F. EAMEs,
Boston, Feb. &C. 1872
