It is stated that Rabbi Marcus, a Jewish physician and chassamovitch, living in Grodno, Russia, has been arrested and exiled for two years, for sending to the Government a Jewish petition demanding redress for an outrage committed by a Russian doctor Granolosk, who is charged with having branded the word “thief” in three languages upon the forehead of a Jewish boy who was accused of having stolen a small quantity of fruit. The petition sent said this would excite the indignation of the civilized world. Russia is a thorough-going National Reform country; its rulers pose as Christians, and tolerate those who don’t if they “ do not rave,” that is, if they carefully conceal their religious beliefs.
