REV. DIR. DUENKEL.
REV. DIR. DUENKEL.

The Rev. DR.. Duenkel was the minis
ter of the Hectoria congregation. The
congregation was reform, and the Rev
DIR. preached reform and belittled ortho-
.doxy. He was man of fine appearance;
we'll formed with fine forehead and
face, end. he could smile very knowingly
and winningly His hair was dark brown,
his we'll trimmed beard Of somewhat
lighter hue. His eyes were trife too
small for the generous features of his
face, and his lips triAe too thin. The
curling smile around his mouth was
little too stationary, and the fine wrinkles
about his eyes somewhat strangely cor
responding with the tout ensemble of his
pleasant appearance. A physiognomist
would be at loss to express an opinion
about the man by his looks. lie played
the part of scholar, but his fine large
forehead did not show the least wrinkle
which mi ght betray thought or reflection.
He preached benevolence and charity,
even made himself conspicuous by some
collections which he had made in behalf
of the poor Of Jerusalem, but in vain
would one look for truly sympathetic
glance of his small eyes. There was al
ways the same pleasant smile on his face,
whether he spoke soothingly to console a
sufferer, or greeted friend expressing
pleasure at the meeting.
Rev. DR.. Duenkel prided himself on
Hebrew scholarship and German preach
ing The former consisted in readiness
to quote passage from the prayer-book
or the Psalms; the latter consisted Of a
.coquettishly lisping sound of the conso-
nant IS" He even concocted some ver-
ses in Hebrew for New Y ears greeting
to his parishioners those verses be-
trayed an utter ignorance of grammar.
So also in his German discourses, he
would be careless of grammar and of
logic, and sought only to introduce
words with 'sp" and st" Thus, for in
stance, he was fond of indulging in phra-
ses like this: ,,Gs lit erltaunli6 rpte teif

standing his fathers aversion to him. AS
to Benjamin, who went to hear him once,
and met him twice or three times at
Thutnichts house, he simply despised
him and made no secret of his senti-
ments.
"a pleasant afternoon, Mr. Amere,"
said the minister, on meeting the two
brothers; Il am glad to see you out. You
look we'll"
Good evening, doctor" was the re-
joinder. Thank you, [ feel pretty we'll
But it is slow work with these chirurgi-
cal sicknesses. 1t takes long until a
fellow RECEIVERS entirely"
"Are you acquainted with the Dulcet
family?" asked the minister.
''The Dulcets? Who are they?"
"Why, it is one of the best Jewish
families in the city. I thought I just
saw your brother conversing with Miss
Dulcet.'
Here Benjamin, who had been very
wrapt up in contemplations of the land
scape few steps behind his brother, so
that he did not see the Rev. gentleman,
came up to the speakers.
"How do you do, doctor. A fine af+
ternoon this" he said The doctor re
sponded to his greeting with his custom
ary pleasant smile.
Il have been thinking Of the romantic
descriptions of the Songs of Solomon.
Such imagery as you find in that book
could not be applicable here. Such, for
instance, as this: The voice of my be-
loved. Behold he is comingl He skips
over the mountains; leaps over the
hills!' Notwithstanding the beautiful
scenery around here, there is nothing Of
the grand, of the imposing in it to prompt
such an outburst of passion, such vision
of the beloved subject who is turned into
a roe or a young hart. Benjamin
made his quotations in Hebrew and
looked all inspiration.
"Why, you are quite Hebrew scholar,
Mr.. Amere. [ did not know that. You
ought to come oftener to the temple
my admiration of the biblical poetry
is no reason yet why [ should come to
your temple. You do not preach in He
brew, do you?"
ooh, you are an admirer Of the poetry,
but not of the religious principles of the
Bible" said the doctor with knowing
look.
Il did not say that. Perhaps because
venerate the religious principles
of the Bible, [ refrain from going to a
place where they are used as the will or
the whim or the cleverness of the ex-
pounder demands" retorted Benjamin,
somewhat sharply.
The doctor took no offence. 1T is no
wonder" he said, that you are a good
scholar. Your father is such learned
man. and it is but natural that he should
have you we'll instructed

"Our father" said Aaron, ''had us both
instructed in Hebrew, but at his age
(pointing at Benz I had long forgotten
my Hebrew [ wanted to work for my
livelihood, while he has nothing better
to bother him than Hebrew and the clas-
sizes and pictures and what not. The col
lege, I believe, has spoiled him alto
gether"
1T is no wonder and no wrong that a
practical man, like you, finds no time for
musing and studies" the doctor said.
II beg to differ with you, doctor" said
Ben, somewhat warmly. Il say that a
man endeavoring to gain livelihood, or
even to accumulate competency, ought
not to make of himself a mere money
making machine, to lose for the sake of
lucre all sense of the good, the beautiful,
the grand"
"You would make an excellent minis
ter, Mr.. Benjamin" F" the doctor said.
II doubt whether I would ever be sue
cessful. I would not be ready with ex-
cuses for every fault" Ben rejoined.
The doctor again took no offence.
Aaron led off the discussion on different
subject. All three walked now home
ward. Rev. DR. Duenkelvtold ~tEenar
about the standing Of the congregation.
The best Jewish families in the city, the
Portuguese, did not belong to it, because
it was reform. The Dulcet family did
not mingle with the Jews at all. They
ignored him entirely. There were some
members of his congregation who lmag-
ined themselves great philosophers and
could not be satisfied with his best eff
forts, while others again would make OF
the temple beth ha-naedrdsh and would
not listen to the voice Of reason. If it
were not for few such intelligent and
peaceful members as Mr.. Thutnichts,
the congregation could not be sustained.
Before parting from the brothers, the
doctor asked Aaron whether he could
not let him have his buggy for to-mor-
row in the forenoon. Aaron was sorry
that he could not, he had made arrange
ments for a ride with friend at the
hotel. The doctor took leave of the
brothers. The latter repaired to Thut-
NIGHTS house to spend the evening
there.

pronounced with the same coquettishly
lisping sound, which pleased the ladies
highly. All that nature could do for a
public speaker she had done for the Rev
DR.. Duenkel; she fitted him out with a
fine, almost imposing appearance; she
endowed him with a pleasant voice and
good health. All that man could do
to become successful in his ministerial
career, the Rev. gentleman had done for
himself. He often visited his parishion-
ers, accepted their presents gracefully,
and acknowledged his gratitude by men
tioning the donors in his prayers. He
advocated the establishment of makvah,
a succah, made collections for the poor
Of the Holy Land, was prolific with his
mi-shebberachs, praised the boys that
were called up to the reading of Torah
for bar moizvah, extolled the munifcence
of the parents. and many more such
things, when he officiated in ortho-
dox congregations. He spoke derisively
of the rabbinical literature, was very
reticent and smiled very knowingly in
the company of learned but liberal
minded colleagues when he was in the
reform pulpit. He sought the friendship
and good disposition Of the ladies, and
especially Of young ladies and gentlemen
who were about to get married In brief,
he did everything he could to become
popular with the members of his con-
gregation. At the same time he also
displayed some strong feelings in many
instances. He even delivered once a
very strong funeral grafton at the grave
of one Of his opponents, and spoke of the
deceased in terms not very appropriate
at such occasions. But this only proves
that the man could feel injustice very
keenly. That he could also forgive and
forget, he proved by accepting services
in congregation which had spurned him
and treated him very Indignantly a few
years previous. This is about the official
character of Rev. DIR. Duenkel. Some
German friends of himter- Berlin cannot
forget his loveliness and great capa-
cities.
Rev. DR.. Duenkel had treated the
Amere family with great Difference. The
first Sabbath that Simon Amere came to
the synagogue he offered to let him pro-
nounce the blessings over the Torah.
The New Haven philosopher having de-
clined this public honor, he included him
in his prayer in very fattering terms.
He also visited the stranger at Thut-
NIGHTS house and endeavored to make
himself agreeable, even confding, by CIV
ing him to understand how his perqui-
sites had dwindled down on account OF
the hard times. But Mr.. Simon Amere
conceived bad impression of him. lie
would not go to hear him any more, and
sent him gift with the urgent request
not to pray for him again. When the
unfortunate occurrence happened with
Aaron Amere, Rev. DR.. Duenkel visited
the invalid several times Strange
enough, Aaron respected him, notwith-

We hope the discussion which we are
about to enter upon in some portions of
this County relative to the subscription
to the Savannah Valley Railroad will be
free from personalities or bitterness.
There is no argument in abuse, and
neither party should resort to it. The
question for consideration is simply
whether it will be profitable for US to
subscribe as proposed. If it will, we
should do it. If it will not, we should
not do it, Then, to decide this problem,
let as present the arguments for our re-

clearest manner possible, after which
each side should give respectful and
candid consideration to the arguments
of the other, without passion or abuse.

THE EXODUS IN LAURENs.-A cor
respondent of the Charleston Ne,cs and
Courier from Laurens, S. c., under date
of July 80, says: The first open meeting
of the colored people on the subject OF
the Western exodus was held at Arnold s
Mills last Saturday. Fifteen black men
addressed the meeting. The orators al
most unanimously advised that they
should move West, locate and improve
farms of their own, and be independent
of the whites. Only one speaker urged
them to be satisfied with their present
homes. The keynote was the declara-
ton that there will be no peace in the
South for the black man, and the sooner
they get away the better it would be for
their race. One or two were rather vio-
lent and denunciatory in their remarks.
The old and settled negroes appear to be
satisfied. The young men are discon-
tented, and some 60 so far as to say they
are going to move if they die on the
road. Poor deluded race! Little do
they think about the hardships and de-
privations of settling new country, and
of the capital and energy it will take to
build it up. 1 see plainly some of our
white tenants are urging on the negroes
to leave, thinking if they can get them
out of their way that the whites will be
able to make their own terms in renting
the lands. They contend that the nc
groes now have the choice of renting the
best farms in the county.

The Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, in
note to the Louisville Democrat, gives
expression to his sublime egotism in the
following words:
"I have not lived to repudiate, abhor
or condemn any political principles ad-
vocated by me. I never did espouse or
advocate the policy of State secession
from the Union. The right of secession
1 meyer questioned, and have defended
with all the power could command, but
my Judgment was very decided against
its its policy. My mind on these subjects
has undergone no change and is not
likely to undergo any. If any person
wishes to know what think was decided
by the war between the States 1 can
only refer such inquirer to the last chap
ter of the second volume of my work
upon that subject"

WELL. sA1p.-AIr. Henry G. Lodge

WELL SAID.-81r. Henry c. Lodge,
of Massachusetts,, uttered the following
patriotic sentiments to meeting in
Boston, which shows that the doctrine of
States rights is not 80 dead in the Bay
State as the l.adicals imagine. lie said:
The Union was never in greater peril
than in 1914, when New England threat
ened secession unless the Administration
and ruling party yielded to her demands.
With characteristic caution, she stayed
her uplifted hand and waited little
longer, but no one then doubted either
the meaning OF the danger of her atti-
tude. IF the blow had fallen the Union
would have been dashed in pieces, with
out hope of recovery. States rights be-
long to no party and to no State. They
are as universal as nationality, and that
they are so is proof of their value. But
they 60 much deeper than their name
implies. They involve principle as old
as the race itself. This principle was
born in the forests of Germany, is re-
corded in the pages of Tacitus, antcame
with the wild Teutonic tribes across the
Channel to Britain moro than thousand
years ago. 1t is the great Anglo-Saxon
principle of local selfgovernment, and
is the safeguard of our Liberties now, as
it has ever been in the past. Without it
there is no health in us. 1t should be
more iealously watched than any other,
because the tendency in large communi-
ties is always towards Capitalization.
We see illustrations of this tendency
every day in the growing habit of both
parties to judge every question according
to its expediency, and not according to
the constitutional principles, which they,
as parties, are supposed to represent.
There seems to be no desire anywhere to
oppose measure, simply and solely be-
cause it leans more toward Capitalization
than is warranted by the Constitution.
This tendency is full of peril. Our
Government is a system of checks and
balances. Destroy one element; and the
whole fabric falls. Nationality is strong
and safe. Our most important duty is to
protect our local rights wherever they
exist, and feel as the Colonies did when
the Boston port bill passed-that the
cause of one is the cause of all. Two
lessons are clearly written on the pages
which record the strife between the in
born love of local independence and the
broader spirit of nationality created by
the Constitution. One is reverence fol
the Constitution, the other careful
maintenance of the principle of States
rights.

- Ex-President Grant is to have q lit
orally royal reception in Japan. He is
to be accorded honors as are bestowed
only upon reigning monarchs. The
British Admiral Coates, on the East India
station, it is said, has put suddenly to sea
from Yokohama, and taken the British
minister with him, it is alleged purely
out of his disinclination to fire a royal
salute for the arrival of plain American
citizen. According to the New York
Herald, Admiral Coates has been running
away from Gen. Grant for quite a time.
"He ran away from Hong Kong just be-
fore Grant got there; ran away from
Shanghai again, and now he leaves Yok-
ohama as the General arrives" Grant,
however, can do without the admiral.
He is certainly having fine time in the
far East, and in China has been treated
with great distinction, entertained by
Prince Kung, and granted an interview
with the Tsung- li-yamen, the cabinet Of
the Emperor. Of course he proftcd by
this occasion to get information in regard

TIE ENGLISH MISSION.

U. S. Minister Welsh at the Court OF
St. James has resigned. and his resigna-
ton has been accepted by the State De-
partment. This opens up new scram-
Bile for the English Mission, for which
there are numerous contestants. A let
ter from Washington, under date of Au-
gust 1st, says:
1t seems to be pretty well settled that
Pennsylvania is not to have the vacant
mission to England. The reason as
signed is that it is hard to find any one
from that State who is rich enough to
enable him to maintain himself in the
place, and who, at the same time, is law
yer enough to make him competent to
handle the very delicate question of the
North American fisheries, which is about
to be opened up again by our govern
mcnt, in accordance with the recommen-
dations of the Edmunds resolution, pass
ed in the executive session of the Senate
last winter. 1t is understood that Secre-
tary Evarts intends spreading himself, as
it we're, on this fishery business, with the
idea Of making it the great feature of his
administration of the department Of
State. IF he can succeed in making
settlement favorable to our government
such settlement as will in some way
atone for the grievance we have from
the payment Of the exorbitant Halifax
award of $780, ,000-he thinks he will
have done for the country as great a
thing as did his predecessor, Mr.. Fish,
when he settled the Alabama claims.
To accomplish all this he must have a
minister in England who is as we'll up in
international law and diplomacy as he is
himself, or as he thinks he is. And the
trouble with him now is to find such
man. He does not think the man he is
looking for can be found among the Re-
publican politicians of Pennsylvania,
and he will of necessity have togo
north of that State. 1t is intimated that
Secretary Evarts has already made up
his mind to appoint Mr.. Stoughton to
the position-that this was really the un-
derstanding between them when the lat
ter resigned the mission to Russia.
Stoughton has the reputation of being
one Of the best lawyers at the New York
bar, and is a great fayorite with Mr..
Evarts. The President, it seems, does
not share Mr.. Evarts' admiration for Mr..
Stoughton, and would rather he be not
selected. He is said to look with favor
on the proposition to make transfer of
either Professor Andrew d. White from
Berlin or Mr., Kasson from Vienna.
Both were said to be accomplished in
diplomacy and learned in the law. The
names of ex-SehatoEs Frelinghuysen, of
New jersey, and Howe, Of y. " Wisconsin,
to appease Pennsylvania by giving the
Russian mission to Mr.. Grow. This
mission used to be favorite with the
'oennsylvanians, it having been filled oy
ex-senator Cameron during portion OF
Linooln's administration, by ex- Governor
Curtin and by Mr.. Geo. FL. Boxer during
.he administration of Grant.
