The New Haven Journal and Courier has
the following
Yesterday divorce according to the prac-
uce IN the Hebrew Church, took place at the
residence of the Rev. j. Gabriel. At the
present term of the Superior Conrt a divorce
was obtained by Louis Rothschild from Esther
hethschlld, One, of the parties desired that
divorce should also be granted after the
manner OF the Hebrew custom. Yesterday it
was accomplished. As it is somewhat inter
estlng to know what the ceremony consisted
OF, we give it. 1t was as follows The wife,
dressed in black, with a. black veil over her
face, appeared with her husband before
Gouneh ter. men, members of the synagogue.
Anere were also present three rabbins, one of
whom acted as the petitioner, and wrote out
Oh parchment petition in Hebrew, asking
Tor divorce, and also wrote out the decree of
divorce; the second acted as respondent or de-
iendant, and the third asa. kind of Judge; the
council of ten acting as a jury. t7ga,gzg-z-
The man and wife having appeared, they
stood side by side before the council The
abbins and council thenitook an oath, all
shaking hands the oath being to the effect
shat they would always consider the divorce
legal and binding. The wife then removed
her veil, and the rabbin who acted as petit.
TONER read the petition IN German,a stated
tAe case to the council, who having, heard it
asereed the divorce. ! The decree, folded up,
was handed to1the5 husband, and the wife
raising her openshands, the husband dropped
; .ns papcr into them. The rabbi who acted as
laoge then took it and cut the ends like a
lflnge He then handed it to the president
VI the synagogue, telling him to place it
among the records of the society, to be pre-
served as evidence of the divorce. This hav-
e oeen done, the ceremony was finished and
'Ne parties departed, no longer man and wife.

SECESSION REsoLYEp on.

Only one step more remained to be taken.
Jefferson and the leading statesmen of his
day held fast tothe idea that the enslave-
ment of the African was socially, morally and
politically wrong. The new school was
founded exactly upon the opposite idea and
they resolved first to distract the democratic
party, for which the Supreme Court had
now furnished the means, and then to estab-
lish a new government with negro slavery
for its corner stone, as socially, morally and

HIS EDUCATION.

Otherwise his education was altogether
American The Declaration of Indepen

study, and something of Jefferson and Mad
ison reached him through Henry Clay, whom
he honored from boyhood For the rest,
from day to day, he lived the life of the
American people; walked in the light; rea-
soned with its reason; thought with its pow

HIS PROGRESS IN LIFE.

At nineteen, feeling impulses of ambition
to get on in the world, he engaged himself
to 90 down the Mississippi in a hat-boat,
receiving ten dollars month for his wages,
and afterwards he made the trip once more.
At twenty-one he drove his father cattle as
the family migrated to Illinois, and split
rails to fence in the new homestead in the
wild AT twenty-three he was captain
of volunteers in the Black Hawk war. He
kept shop; he learned something of sur
vcying; but of English literature he added
to Bunyan nothing but Shakespeare plays.
At twenty-five he was elected TO the legisla-
ture Of Illinois, where he served eight years
Aa twenty-seven he was admitted to the bar
In 1887 he chose his home at Springfield,
the beautiful centre Of the richest landin the
state, in l847 hewas member of the ma
tional Congress, where he voted about forty
times in favor of the principal of the
Jefferson proviso. In 1854 he gave his infiu-
ence to elect from Illinois to the American
Senate democrat who would certainly do
Justice TO Kansas. In 1858, as the rival OF
Douglass, he went before. the people of the
mighty Prairie state saying This Union
cannot permanently endure, half free: the
Union viii not be dissolved; but the house
will cease to be divided; and now in 1851,
with no experience whatever as an execu-
tive officer, while states we're madly flying
from their orbits, and wise men knew not
where 10 find counsel, this descendant OF
(uakers, this pupil of Bunyan, this child o.
the great West was elected president Of
America.
He measured the difficulty Of the duty

HER PONG,

But while the vitality of America is din
destructible, the British government hurriea
to do what never before had been done by
Christian powers, what was in direct con-
fict with its own exposition of pubic law
in the time of our struggle for independ-
ence. Though the insurgent states bad not
a ship in an open harbor, it invested them
+ with all the rights of Lelligerent, even on
the ocean; and this too, when the rebellion
was not only directed against the gentlest
and most benefcent government on EARTH
without shadow of justifable cause, but
when the rebellion was directed against
human nature itself for the perpetual
enslavenlento Of a race. And the effect of
this recognition was that acts in themselves
piratieal found shelter in British courts of
faw. The resources of British capitalists,
their workshops, their armories, their pri-
yate arsenals, their shipyards, were Ia
league with the insurgents, and every Brit
ish harbor in the wide world become . safe
