The rough immediately telegraphed to
the Young Men's Christian Association
at Montreal, and they telegraphed to the
Young Men's Christian Association of
Brooklyn that the accused was a very
worthy youn:g man of respectable family,
and to see him out of his trouble. The
Young Men's Christian Association of
Brooklyn immediately engaged alawyer,
and prayers were offered up at evening
meeting for the delivery of the young
Christian out of the hands of the Philis
tines. But the Chief of Police did not
take any stock in young Christians who
travel with revolvers and blackjacks in
their pockets, so he telegraphed to the
Chief of Police of Montreal for the ante
cedents of the young Christian, and found
that his mug had for a long time orna
menlted the Rogues' Gallery, and be had
served a couple of terms in the peniten
tiary for robbery. The young Christians
of Brooklyn dropped him like a hot
potato, and the Judge sent him to State's
prison for eight years, so that for some
time to come we will not be troubled
with this pious young Christian.
The recent investigation of the Board
of Health anong the Russian and Polish
Jews has brought to light a revelation of
degradation and filth such as we have
scarcely known in this country before.
