JEW OR CHRISTIAN.

The Jcivish Messenger' (American) is determined to put a stop to some of the oldfashioned mid uncomplimentary references to the Jews. It observes that whenever a Jew is convicted of any crime, the nature of his faith is prominently stated. " If," continues the Messenger, " the custom were adopted of giving tbe religious faith of every criminal, Jew or Christian, our police reports would be strikingly varied, and would furnish food for the diligent historiun. They would naturally aeßume a form like this:—'Albert James, a member of the Episcopulian Church, was arrested yesterday for arson.' ' Mary Donohoe, who attends St. Stephen's Cathedral, and id a devout Bomun Catholic, was convicted of stealing a pocket-book.' ' Arthur Manning, who sils in a front pew in Dr. Tyng's church, and is a prominent member of the young Men's Christian Association, has been delected in an attempt to defraud the Custom-house.' ' A so/ious-looking Mothodißt was brought before Judge Lynch this morning on the charge of being intoxicated. He was discharged.' ' Three men were arrested for committing a burglary. They wore known to be prowling Presbyterians, and members of the Tract Society.' ' A young chap was caught in tlio act of stealing a bath-tub. His name iB Dooley, and he is a hard-shell Baptist.' "
