A Jewish Divorce.

The New Haven Journal and Courier
has the following:
yesterday, divorce, according 10 the
practice in the Hebrew Church, took place
ut the resid snco Of the Re J. Gabriel. vt
the present term of the Superior Court.
divorce was obtained by Louis Ro.hschild
from Esther Rothschild. One Of the par
tics desired that divorce should also be
granted after the manner OF the Hebrew
custom. Yesterday it was accomplished.
AS 1t is somewhat interesting to know
what the ceremony consisted of, we give it.
1t was as follows: The wife, dressed in
black, with black veil over her face, ap-
pearcd with her husband before a council
OF ten men, members of the synagogue.
There was also present three rabbins, one
OF whom acted as petitioner, and wrote out
on parchment petition in Hebrew, asking
for divorce, and also wrote out the de.
cree OF divorce; the second acted rs res
pondent or defendant, and the third as
kind Of judge; the council of ten acting as
a jury.
The man and wife having appeared,
they stood side by side before the council.
The rabbins and council then took an oath
all shaking hands-the oath being to the
effect that they would always consider the
divorce legal and binding. The wife then
removed the veil, and the rabbi, who acted
as petitioner, read the petition in German
and stated the case to the council, who,
having heard it, decreed 10 divorce. The
decree, folded up, was handed to the hus-
band, and the wife raising her open hands,
the husband dropped the paper into them.
The rabbi who acted as judge then took it
aud cut the ends like fringe. lie then
handed it to the president OF the synagogue,
telling him to place it among the records
oi The society, to be preserved rs evidence
OF the divorce. This having been done,
the ceremony was finished, and the parties
departed, no longer nan and wife"

Jewish Conversion.

An exceedingly interesting and impor.
tant ceremony, one which is not of an every
gay occurrence, was witnessed on SUNDAY
morning last at the Synagogue, corner Of
Maine and Exchange streets, the Rev. DR.
Iuska officiating. It was the conversion
OF Mrs. Lewis to the Hebrew faith. The
reverend gentleman delivered an able and
Impressive sermon, in which the fair com.
vert was reminded OF the duties and res
possibilities attached to Judaism also, the !,
new station in life which she was assuming.
Dr. Iuska, In defining the doctrines and
tenets OF Judaism took occasion to remark.
that 1t sought no converts to its religion.
but II convinced that the applicant wanted
to enter within the portals Of its sanctuary
in good faith, it accepted and welcomed
them; while other denominations sought
their converts; that the Jewish religion
was not proscriptive, and believed in eyery
one worshipping the Lord according to
their conscience. After the eloquent re-
marks OF DIR. Tuska, she was examinedcin
the doctrine and teachings of the Hebrew
faith, reading the articles of faith in
clear voice and without hesitation, show
ing that she was thoroughly informed in
regard to the new relation which she was
entering, and affirming her belief in Juds-
ism, after she was declared an Israelits.
ohe was then remarked, in accordance
with the forms and observations of the
Hebrew church. Mr. Edward s. Goulston
and Mrs. p. A. Phillips, giving away the
bride, and Mr.. and Mrs. L. Isaacs, the
bridegroom, when, after an earnest peti-
ton to the Throne Of Grace, asking the
Almighty may guard and guide her in the
duties and responsibilities attendant on her
new station, and the blessings Of the Al
mighty craVed, the convert was dismissed.
She then received the congratulations of
her friends and acquaintances. We are
informed that this ceremony is Of rare oo-
currence and drew large concourse Of
interested spectators.-Memphis appeal

A Light In the window for Thee

weary, had retired but quickly aroused when
she heard my footsteps. and met me ut the
