Drunkenness in Cincinnati.

One day last week more than a
hundred persons were brought before
the police court Of this city for disor-
derly conduct and crime, and in near.
ly every instance, liquor was the
cause of the difficulty. Fighting,
swearing, fast driving, rowdyism.
shooting, dirking, assaults, gam
bling are all more or less con.
nected with drinking. Go ask the
inmates Of the rookery and Jail, or
the members of the chain.gane in
this city, what brought them to their
present wretched condition, and thew,
will tell you in nearly every instance
il was LIQUOR. If all the liquor of
this city could be annihilated at once.
or kept out Of the hands and mouths
Of people universally, we should have
but little business for our police court,
or use for the rOOkery or iail. What
an amount of wretchedness Is pro-
dueed every year in the city in conses

do the people reflect on the subject. q

A few days ago the Clerk Of the
Police Court of Cleveland made a
report of business from May 25th to
July lst. There were in all 262 per-
sons arraigned, of which l09 were
arrested for intoxication, and a69 for
disturbances growing out Of drunken
ness In note, supplementary to
his report, the clerk adds, that out Of

was infinitely purer and nobler in
character than the rich Cresus, who
basked in shining affluence and strut

lnen."2 The poor boy or girl dressed
in rags and with but a scantY provision
of food upon which to subsist, may
be, in this respect, richer than the
heir or heiress to the most princely
crown on earth-yet the good are not
always exempt from the pains and
punishments Of this sinful and5une
world. Sometimes the righteous, the
just and the pure, have had to feel
the "slings and arrows of outrageous
fortune," alas too keenly; whereas,
truth, sweet daughter of the skies,
could she have told her simple tale,
and her innocentt testimony been heard,
would have cast the cup Of bitterness
forever from their lips. But unlike
the other acquisitions of this world, a
Spotless character can stand unscathed
the ordeal Of every vicissitude. Like
a gem from the crucible, it escapes the
dissolving fires of sin and earthly
tOrtures, and glitters still with bright
and lovely lustre. ISLANDER, with her
