A Challenge to "Crucible."

, TO THK JSDITOB. Sir, — I have noticed " Orucible," in your . paper of 30th, showing ignorance and y guperstition regarding the Jews, in a 1 manner which lam greatly, surprised at. I : have read quite enough of his letters, and fc am heartily sick of him. I find that he E uses the word "shoddy 'V in reference to - ©very correspondent, and if he is anything t liko a man, and fancies that he has snch 1 • perfect knowledge of the Jewiih race, let t ! nim'Btep forward on any public platform, \ 1 .where I am ; prepared , to meet him and j 5 prdn that hui remwrkß «• simply m*dq '

through ignorance and superatition,- and ] will leave it to the public to judge on the matter. Perhaps by hia accepting this challenge and coming to the front he will turn out to be all "shoddy " himself. Should he be, however, ashamed to show his face, then I cannot call him anything else but a coward, and the only advice I can give him is te chut up ! and not' say any more about it. lam not ashamed to sign my name, and am, Ac, H. PINKIKBT. ,

£i: P.B;^ ; »m leaving by this morning train 6n° bueinefß, but gh^ir return ifroin "iiiy far) jftlhe ;^cbuntry,' if "£rucible/' ■will appoint the time, and place, and.l will then'j.Oruciblfl" him.--H.P. " „. ., .V'| ;• Invercargill,. July 31st,, 1883. „. . .
