THE NEWS IN POLAND.
A Jewish lady, reeident at present in Warsaw, sends a letter to her father in Auckland, which containa some curious information. The writer saye :—"The poor Jews are quite uneducated, but are very fond of their religion, but the rich and educated have no religion at all. They all tell you : •N e believe in nothing. They don't keep feasts and fasts, and, iu fact, are nothing. The only point in which the Poles and Kussiaue agree is in hating and detesting the Jews. All the young people as I told you are well educated, .and are lawyers, doctors, &c. Their children will be the children of educated people, and by the time they are grown I think the hate will be leaa. One never meets anyone who is not Jewish. Yes, I have met a few men at the different houses, but they all say to me, are Church of England. But it is a pity that these children will only be Jews in blood, as they have no idea of any God or religion at all. All the children go to school on Saturday, and, as I say, are perfectly religiousless."
