Who DARE ABUSE KING ALCOHOL ?-The temp
tation to make alcohol Of grain has been as
strong as the liquor itself, and many kind
man has yielded to it, and destroyed others and
himself by it; but new lights have arisen in
the world, and alcohol will be committed to the
flames in such abundance that farmers and dis
tillers may produce it without remorse of con-
science. This, however, only until that great
rival-cold water-shall again set up its supe-
rior claims, under the patronage of Mr.. Payne,
or some other inventor.
We have just read in the Democratic Union
that Harrisburg is to be favored with the new
manufacturing establishment of Samuel J.
Christian s. Co., of Philadelphia who are erect
ing large establishment for the manufacture
of burning fluid 1t is estimated that they will
consume from one hundred and fifty to three
hundred bushels of grain per day, in the manu-
facture of alcohol The liquor to be made in
this establishment, the Union remarks, is not
to be used in darkening the minds of the sloth-
full and unfortunate inebriates, but in lighting
up the paths of the sober and Industrious.

CAN'T IT SUNDAY IN THE BACKYARD,
TOO?"

Sammy" said a mother to her son, who
was playing marbles in the street one Sunday
morning; "Sammy, you must not play out
there: go into the backyard; it is Sunday"
Sammy looked up and Immediately said, CANT
it Sunday in the backyard, too, mother?"
Exchange paper
When we see lady sitting on her velvet
cushion at the church, holding in her hands the
elegantly-bound prayer-book, and looking about
to note the fashions of dresses and bonnets, we
can ask her, Amt it Sunday in the backyard
too %
When we see the merchant give his one thou
sand dollars for the relief Of sufferers by some
great disaster, and spurning the ragged beggar
who asks for penny from his door, we can ask
him, "Ain't it Sunday in the backyard, too ?"
When we see the belle of fashion giving her
one thousand dollars for cashmere shawl, and
sending her seamstress home with half price
for her labor, and a heavy heart, we can ask
her, CANT it Sunday in the backyard, too?"
When we see the Spectator taking advantage
of the bankrupt law, and Immediately after
building palace for residence, we can ask
him, Amt it Sunday in the backyard, too -
When we hear the politician loudly declaring
allegiance to the laws of his country, and by
the example of his acts melting communities to
disobedience, we can ask him, g Amt it Sunday
in the backyard, too ?"

To OUR Cry READERs.-A streak of light
ming comes by us every day, gathering and tell
ing the news all along its course, from Boston
away down South. When it enlightens us, we
hasten to tell its story to the world; but we
cannot do so until then. Yet it will not hasten
for our especial benefit, and we consequently
cannot issue our paper any earlier than the
afternoon papers of Baltimore and Philadel-
phia appear; and, therefore, we cannot insure
its delivery in the public Offices or elsewhere
before three o'clock in the afternoon.
When our carriers fail to serve their sub
scribers regularly, we should be at once in
formed of it.

effecting reduction of the old rates of postage.

THE DEATH PENALTY.

1t is not our custom to say disrespectful
things of ministers of the gospel, for we hold
them in high esteem, and reverence the religion
they teach; but the fact may with propriety be
named, that the maturer developments of truth
in morals and religion receive from them, in
general, the most tardy support; and especially
when the moderation Of the vengeance of the
law is proposed.
The abolition of the death penalty, we have OBJ
served, receives the disapproyal of very large
number Of them, and one of their number has
recently appeared, as volunteer, we believe,
before committee of the Massachusetts legis-
lature to defend the present sanguinary penalty.
In the Winchester Vuginian, of recent date,
we also observe, writer appears whose know
ledge of the seeming scriptural arguments on
that side would do credit to a careful student
of the Sacred Volume.
In the mean time good, plain, honest Chris
are carrying out the spirit of the dictates of
humanity and the spirit of Christian truth, and
the death penalty is fading from the statute
books of nations.
The following at this moment presents itself
to our notice:
execution AT CHELMSFORD, ENGLAND.-On
the 18th of March, Thomas Drory and Sarah
Gresham were executed at the top of the county
Jail. Drory was penitent and resigned, but
Sarah Chesham refused all religious advice and
consolation, stubbornly denying her guilt of the
crime for which she was to suffer, to the last,
although she acknowledged she had committed
previous offences which fully justified the death
which awaited her. Between thirty and forty
thousand spectators were present"
And it is very likely she was not guilty of the
crime for which she persisted. But here is an
item in point, from one of our own papers:
"CIRcUMsTANTIAL EvIDENCE.-It may be re-
membered that man named Hancock was not
long since arrested upon the suspicion of having
murdered another named Moss, both citizens Of
Allegheny county The wife of Moss, when
examined, gave such equivocal testimony that
she was also arrested as an accomplice in the
crime. The circumstantial evidence against the
accused was so strong, that, in the opinion Of
many in the neighborhood, it was amply sufh-
cient to convict him Of murder. 1t turns out,
however, that Hancock is innocent, as Moss has
lately returned from the State of Ohio in per-
! feet health"

recovered,

AssAULT.-Ofi Mulloy and Burr arrested
Philip Hardin for an assault upon Mr.. Mulloy
while discharging his duty in trying to preserve
order at the depot at the funeral of the late
Archbishop Ecceston. Officers Mulloy and
Busher arrested J. S. Norwood for resisting
the officers in attempting to rescue Hardin.
They were taken before Justice Thompson, to
whom they gave bail, the first in 1896, and the
second in 5000, for their appearance before the
criminal court at the June term.
