Rev. Gustave Levy Reelected Rabbi Of the
Congregation Bikur Cholim.
DoNALDsoNvILLE, La, Nov. 8, 1879.
EDITOR CHIEF:
I can not refrain from addressing the
readers Of your most worthy and inter-
esting paper concerning the unanimous
reelection of Rev. Gustave Levy to fill
the position of Rabbi Of the Congrega-
ton Bikur Cholim of our town for the
ensuing year, tribute fully deserved by
the reverend gentleman, who has worked
with untiring zeal and energy for the
welfare Of his congregation. Through
his influence the congregation has gained
an increase of six members. which is cer-
tainly creditable considering the ccm-
paratively small number Of Israelites
who reside in this and surrounding
neighborhood.
This congregation can certainly boast
of having an intelligent and highly cul-
tured minister, a frst-class lecturer, an
outspoken and reliable gcntleman-for
such are the qualities of Rev. Gus}avc
Levy.
Trusting, Mr.. Editor, that these few
lines will find room in your most worthy
columns, remain, respectfully,
HADASH BEN YASHAN.

The judicial Question.

The minutes of the Republican judicial
convention, published in this issue of the
CHIEF, show that the judicial matter has
been amicably adjusted, and that Judge
Henry L. Duffel and Mr.. F. B. Earhart
have received the party nomination for
District Judge and District Attorney.
This result was reached after several
hours of consultation among the dele
gates, during which the situation was
dispassionately discussed in all it's bear
ings and the policy to be pursued calmly
weighed and deliberated. The choice OF
candidate for Judge was made in di-
rect consonance with the twelfth plank
of the Republican platform and with the
policy enunciated III the address which
Col Beattie made to the State conven-
ton after receiving the nomination for
Governor. It was the opinion of the del
egates-with only two or three cxcep-
tons, and these have since declared them
selves " converted" to the true doctrine
that the selection of Judge Dutfcl
would tend to conciliate the conservative
and liberal elements Of the opposite
party, thus Strengthening the Republican
State ticket, making it an easy matter
| for the local officers to furnish their
bonds, and maintaining and augmentlng
! the good feeling created among citizens
Of opposing political parties by the fusion
policy inaugurated here last year. Three
of the St James delegates withdrew from
the con> ention, because the report OF the
committee on credentials recommended
the admission of the Como delegation or
half votes, but one of the DISCONTINUED
members subsequently returned, and, a.
above indicated, the Others afterwards
expressed their satisfaction with the ac
ton of the convention. It will be OBJ
served that majority of the committee
were members Of the SHINES delegation
from st. james, and that the report wa

The Boiling Movement.

It is currently reported that certain
dissatisfied Individuals, who are believed
to receive inspiration from couple Of
prominent officials III the New Orleans
CustomHouse, and who have been very
busy recently endeavoring to create dis
sension in the Republican party Of this
parish and district, will attempt to hold
some sort of a convention here next Sat
urday, for the purpose of nominating a
boiling ticket. It is further generally
believed that the ticket to be formed by
this faction will be as follows:
For Senator, Richard SHINES;
District Judge, john A. Cheevers;
District Attorney, 0. f. Hunsaker;
Representative, j. j. Sullivan;
Sheriff, Louis Lefort;
Clerk Of Court, G. II. Hill or John d.
Cantey
Coroner, DR.. john E. Duffel.
Probably no open nomination for Rep
resentative will be made, but there can
be no reasonable doubt that when the
tickets are printed Mr.. Sullivaus name
will appear upon them, and that the
object Of this maneuvre will be to secure
his retention on the regular ticket and
make his election doubly sure. Whether
Mr.. Sullivan sympathizes with the bolt
ers or not, is a question We are not pre-
pared to discuss, but that they sympa-
t,ize with him, is regarded Il certainty
Just how the proposed convention will

case, there are only two or three ward!

Titles.

The Abbeviile papers are pretty
hard OH "colonels" and professors"
as the two extracts below from pap.
crs of the same date show. The
Press e. Banner handles the col
onels rs follows:
Recently in looking over the
printed minutes Of IL meeting of the
dlgnitarics Of IL rel gious denominm
tlun we were struck with the number
OF Colonies that have gotten into
the church. You'd it not for once
be a good idea for the ambassadors Of
the Prince Of Peace to doH' th cir
military titles, willie attending the
Court of Jesus Christ? Now that
livery stable keepers, bnr-tcndcrs and
walters are 50 frequently dubbed
Colonel, we submit that there
is Il class Of gentlemen in South
Carolina who should not allow them
selves t he so addressed"
Aud the MEDIUM goes for the
professors thusly:
Titles have become so much
abused since the war that it is now
the proudest distinction of an Amcri.
can citizen to he known BIZ the mod.
est and novel name Of Mr.. Not the
east disgusting Of these honorary
titles is that of Professor. This
county is flooded with professors
professors OF thi, that
and the Other humbug from corn
doctor to horse trainer all profess
ors, and not one Of the lot entitled TO
the distinction by either birth, educa-
ton or refinement. Professors Of
magic, of music, of muscle and mirth;
professors OF everything under til
sun. Livery big-tooted Yankee that
comes through from nobody knows
where or why is dubbed professor,
unii the head is sick and the heart

A Word to Boys.

1iow can We become gentlemen ?
How can boy go about making him.
self one? Can he work for it? Yes
he can. And the harder he works
for it in the right way, tho better.
But he must study with his eyes and
his ears. Reading books and news
papers is not enough. He must
think and feel, rs well rs speak and
act Can he buy ii? No, he can not.
Money will buy gool many things,
but it will not buy what makes q
gentleman. If yo, have money, YOU
can go to Il shop and buy clothes.
but hat. coat, pants and boots do not
make gentleman. They make
iop, and sometimes come near max
ing fool. Money will buy dogs an
horses, but how many dogs and horse,
do you think it would take to make q
gentleman Let no boy, therefore,
think he is to be made gentleman by
the clothes he wears, the horse he
rides, the stick he carries, the dog
that trots after hin, the house he
lives III, or the money he spends. Not
one or any Of these will do it-lnd vot
every boy may be q gentleman. But
how! BY being true, manly, and
honorable. BY keeping himself neat
and respectable. BY being civil and
courteous. BY respecting himself
and respecting others. BY doing the
best he knows how. And finally, and
above all, By fearing God and keen
ing his commandments.
