A Hebrew Bar Mizfa or Confirmation.
A correspondent says ST attended last
Saturday morning the Sabbath services at the
synagogue on William street, of which Rev.
Mr.. Wilmer is the officiating Rabbi. To say
that the ceremony was highly Interesting is
but feebiy expressing its really deserved
merits. Aside from being a regular conduct
ed orthodox Hebrew service, as held on each
aud every Saturday morning, which in itself
is interesting, there were also two additional
services. It was the (Rosh Choteshl COM
mencement of the Hebrew month Eeyer,
which ceremony by the way is only celebra-
ted by the sincere orthodox believer of the
Hebrew faith. But the climax of interest
was reached when Master Lewis Cohn, the
thirteen-year-old SON of Nathan Oohn,
stepped before the latter and delivered his
declaration in the belief of the Jewish faith,
1t being his bar mizfa Confirmation day.
Rev. Mr.. wilmer lead with a. short but
solemn and impressive address to the mem
bers of his congregation, and later on at the
confirmation explained the Importance and
significance of this very interesting and pleas.
ing ceremony.
stMaster Lewis Oohn answered every ques-
ton put to him by Rev. Wilmer both In the
German and Hebrew languages, not in a
school boy fashion, but in clear, understand
ing and appreciative manner and seemingly
won the:hearts of his listeners.
ssThe subject of confirmation, Lewis Cohn,
then addressed the congregation in the Ger
nam tongue. When he in feeling manner,
towards the close, prayed to an all wise
power to give him strength and wisdom so
that he might be able during his lifetime to
repay his father and mother for all the good
ness he has received at their hands; the
expressing of his hearty desire to fully under
stand the duty he owes, not only to his pa
rents, relatives, teachers, but to all mankind;
his supplication to become useful member
to the chain Of the human family, as to
act honorabIy and uprightly in all his deal
ines to and with every man, affected most
every one present to tears. It was indeed
very solemn and affecting services and the
minister, Rev. Mr.. Wilmer, as well
as the one confirmed, Lewis Cohn, de-
serve the appreciation OF all present
Permit me to add here that Master Lewis |
scholar in Webster school, mastered the He |
brew and German languages to such an ex- |
tent that he can read, write and translate /
from either language into English and pro-
nounoes each word grammatically and correct
". Both Hebrew and German he studied
for about two years under the sklllful tuition
of Miss j. wilmer, daughter OF tAe happi.
Said congregation may be congratulated Ter
having such an able and honorable Rabbi, T
and the City of Films may be proud to add

A rivulet bearing along impurities deposits
them in the little eddies and wherever the

ever the circulation is difficult and broken

not cure Rheumatism till you expel the pois-

The state Printing.

Our esteemed confrerc, Of the
Lake Charles Commercial, in an cdi-
torial styled Fair Play" asks a ques-
ton which We suppose be desires us
TO answer, lnasmuch as we have been
called upon by the administration to
publish the constitutional amend
ments which are to be voted on at the
election in April next As it is very
solicitouS, that in putting the ques-
ton, it. might be inferred he thinks it
"is done to reward us for our "time-
Iy support of the administration" it
is strange, if such is not the case,
why lie asks the question at all, be-
cause he should know !: is TO the
public interest that the greatest pub
LEFTY be given TO public matters, and
in order 10 do SO those newspapers
having the largest circulation are the
ones called into requisition to achieve
the object.
The dissatisfaction evolved in that
article, in saying so much, though dis
claimed in the beginning, only goes
to prove to the unbiased mind that he
does consider it a "freward, etc. Now,
On the other hand, we ask our over
anxious friend question. If the
administration, or rather the Secrc-
tary Of State, had rendered you the
publication of those documents, IN
solicited by yon, would you have re-
jected them on the ground that they
might be considered "reward' pap, or
party patronage? Charity, friend
Mac, and the public interest, is first,
i moral requisite, and, secondly,
patriotic duty. /
One Of the most important errors in
the suggestions of our friend is, that |
he, iBdirectly,if not directly, consid-
ers the majority of Democrats who
have nominated and endorsed the adj
mipi4tration as one huge political
ring, and his desire is to stand .aloof |
from it, if the minority are not to be
considered the purity Of politics and
the snoinled few.

Our rice farmers are rejoicing over
the success they have had the past
year. The weld has been good, and
prices have ranged from S3.75 1854 so,
cash on the spot, per barrel, Those
who have for years argued and per
sisted that this is DOT an agricultural
country are becoming 10 be dissnaded
from that idea, and arc now falling in
TO line with pillow and harrow, with n
determination 10 double the last year
crops. We do not wish it understood
that we mean that Southwestern Lou
lslana is adapted to all products, but
We are positive in the assertion that
it is the best rice country in the United
States; and when it is fact, as il is,
that this grain is worth and is being
bought up with avidity at $l.5O per
bushel Of "a pounds, or $3.50 per bar
rel of l62 pounds, and that our lands
yield an average of As bushels to the
acre, il is destined TO become one
of the richest, if not the richest, sec
ton in the Southwest. The diVersi-
fed nature of our lands make them
particularly desirable. On a tract of
l60 acres, enough high land will be
found for corn, oats, garden, orchard
and pasture for work stock, as well as
enough rice land or level, fiat prairie,
to satisfy the wants of all small farm
ers. We know men who came here
five years ago without a dollar, who,
to-day, are well-tO-do, Inasmuch as
they now own l6O acres of land, good
dwelling and out houses, go to 80
acres under fence and in cultivation,
30 to so head of gentle stock, the
necessary work stock and tools, their
families well clothed and fed and some
cash on hand for a rainy day. They
have enjoyed all this time the best of
health, and could not be induced to
exchange their places for any, in any
place they have ever seen; and Oh
lained it by cultivating rice. To snm
up, this is the poor mans country in
every sense of the word.
