MR.. COUGH.

This distinguished and eloquent advocate of
the Temperance Reformation addressed very
large and intelligent audience of ladies and
gentlemen at the Mechanics Hall on We'd
nesday night The Hall was so much crowd
ed that large numbers had TO stand up during
the whole time of the delivery of the address.
The address itself was chaste, forcible and
eloquent in the extreme, and the delivery was
in most excellent taste. Mr.. Cough is, we
should Judge, about twenty five or six years
OF age, and appears TO be suffering from dis
ease and general debility. Instead of the a,c-
ta, ugly, oco-begone looking creature that our
fancy had pictured him, he is entirely differ
ent sort of man, with small and delicate
frame, intelligent countenance and perfect neat
ness about his personal appearance, he is,
what the ladies would call, quite a handsome
fello,o, and, withal, an orator of natures own
handiwork, and, Of all the temperance advo-
Gates we have ever heard, the most surpas-
singly eloqent.-P Petersburg Republican.

THE SABBATH.

g Proceedings Of the Lords Day Convention,
assembled in the city of Washington, on
the 24th and 25th Of February, 1886; also
an address to the citizens of the District Of
Columbia, and to the people of the United
States"
Such is the title of "a neat little pamphlet be-
fore US, from which we extract the following
resolutions, as they will be interesting to our
readers. 1t will be remembered that this con-
vention was composed of ministers and laymen
from nearly all the churches in the District
Resolved, That the connection between the
desecration of the Sabbath, and the use, as
beverage, Of intoxicating liquors, and the traf-
ic in them for that purpose, and the aid which
each affords in the promotion of the other,
should lead the friends of temperance, as well
as Of the Sabbath, to persevere in judicious eff
forts to cause each of these evils to be done
away.
RESOLVED, That, inasmuch as the Christian
Sabbath is intended as day of spiritual devo-
tion,' it be earnestly recommended to all those
Associations whose custom it is to bury their
members with public honors, to choose, if prac-
tticable, some other day than the Sabbath for
these peculiar ceremonies or, out of respect to
the moral and religious sense of the commu-
nifty, to dispense with martial music and all un-
necessary display.
Resolped, That the Clergy of the different
denominations of Christians in this District be
respectfully requested to preach annually SER
mon or sermons adapted to promote the due
observance Of the Lords Day and that al! be
enreated, by the universal diffusion Of inform
alton, by united example and kind moral infu-
ence, 10 make persevering efforts TO cause the
sacred observance OF that day to become uni
versal and whereas il has been represented,
that some of the Offices Of Government have
been occasionally kept open on the Sabbath
Day for the transaction of public business, this
Convention deeply deplore the fact, and sin
cerely hope that such practice would not con-
tiaue.
Resolped, That each congregation, within the
District limits, be respectfully requested to ap-
point committee of three, to be denominated
it shall be, by all prudent and possible means,
to dissuade, and, as far as may be, restrain the
youth Of our cities from the desecration otthe
Lords Day.
The Address Of the Committee we will give
in full tomorrow.

ANOTHER PRESENTATION !

II has been customary in all ages of the
world TO pay signal regard to individuals who
have distinguished themselves, either in war,
politics, science, or morals. The practice has
exerted salutary influence, not only in keep
ing alive a just yeneraton for commendable
actions, but also in exciting a spirit of emula-
ton upon each successive generation The
Father of his country received many testimo-
nials of the gratitude of his countrymen, not
only in the substantial support they gave 10 his
measures, but also in numerous presentations
of plate, swords, SIC. So, with other distin-
puished statesmen, and reformers. The ta-
Tented and eloquent champion of the tempe
rance cause, Mn Cough, has, in numerous in
stances, been presented with interesting evi-
dences of the gratitude and respect of the wise
and good.
But, it is our duty to record an instance, o
recent occurrence, in our own city, by which
the long pent up gratitude Of certain obliged
gentlemen assumed the shape Of words and
action.
