I" UNCLE SANS Farm FESCE-by A. d. Milne-
with illustrations by N. Orr. c. Shepard & Co.,
152 Fulton ST., New York.
1t is now a quarter of a century since patriotic
and thoughtful phiIanthropists began to consider
anxiously the best means of arresting the manifold
and widespread evils of intemperanee; and after
witnessing the ineficiency of the many varied modes
Of resistance resorted to in years past, the friends
Of the reform have arrived, with remarkable unan-
unity, at the conclusion that nothing short of the
entire Introduction by law of tho traffic in intoxica-
ting drinks will avail to check and exterminate the
dreadful vice they have been combating.
The volume now submitted aims, by means of a
simple and truthful narrative of actual life expert
ence, to show the necessity of prohibitory laws, to
protect the poor drunkard from being tempted to
his destructi IN, as well as to guard families and
communities from the insidious and desoIating eff
fects of liquor selling. Every candid reader of
Uncle Sans Farm Fence" will readily admit that
the author has drawn his pictures and his facts not
from his imagination, but from life as exhibited in
hundreds of towns and villages of this country.
The story of the EARN Fence" was originally
published in the New York Peoples Organ" and
so generally was it recognized by the readers as
truthful and impressive portraiture Of the evils Of
intempcrance and Of the indisputable need which
exists for the utter prohibition of the liquor trait,
by law, that Immediately such earnestrequests wer,
sent in from all parts of the land for the publication
of the work in book form, that the appeal could no
be resisted.
The publishers, therefore, send it forth with tn
hope and confidence that it will not merely prov
interesting as a tale, but powerfully effective anon
the moral agencies which are working out the re
d~cmption of our beloved country from the plagu
and the disgrace of that dreadful evil, Intemper
ance.
The work is for sale by Mr.. H. D. Turner, Book
seller, Raleigh to whose kindness we are indebte
for a copy of the work.

Triumphs Of Temperance.

We r~otice, in recentState elections, that the
dominant political parties have fallen greatly
in the minority, and that articles copied
by our city papers, from their exchanges, at
tril utc this change to the influence of the
great Temperance Movement which is now
agitating the minds of so large a portion of
the citizens of the United States. The pow
er of this noble cause is so increased as to
cancel the lines of party distinction, over
ride issues of lesser moment, and overcome
every opposition which such considerations
may suggest or instigate so, that, an organ
i%zation planted upon dead letter creeds, for
political purposes and interests, though it be
the signal conqueror of the day, by unpro-
voked collision with the grand progressive
cause of Temperance, involving the health,
and happiness of our people, socially and ma
t~ionally, is the routed corpse Of political in
trigues Of tomorrow. Hence, Demagogues
themselves, are panic-stricken and we have
less to fear from them, than the avarice of
the grocery-keeper, and the appetite of his
infatuated patrons.

Dreamy Realities.

With too many, we fear, the evils of In
temperance are regarded abstractly as a sore
grievance, greatly to be deprecated-they
witness it's rayages with a melancholy sigh
and mourn over the degradation and misery
it entails upon humanity; but it has so long
been thus-so often have they seen their
friends and neighbors stricken down by the
i~nsatiate monster, that it has become so ia
miliar as scarcely to raise the inquiry-How
are these things? Whence dothey originate
Is there any remedy for these evils? For the
most part, such as these have been mere
spectators of the storm that has been raging
around them-their hearthstone has been
left unscourged-their immediate kindred
have been unsmitten by its terrible rawlings,
hence they slumber, and pity and mourn over
the desolation around, without stirring tc
quell the fury Of the tempest.
What shall be done to arouse such from
their lethargic supineness-what to awaken
them to a sense oftheir duty in aiding in thu
suppression of the mighty evil? Will the!
wait till the dearest idol of their hearts is de
voured by the greedy jaws Of the destroyer
VIII nothing arouse them but an earthquake
that shall rend asunder the dearest earthl.
ties Awake, stupid dreamerl Every cor
sideration, for time and eternity, calls upor
you to rouse to ACTION, to arrest the laVa-tid
of destruction that is laying waste the faires
portions of Gods heritage, and sending tn
souls and bodies of countless thousands int
the s~tarless night of the inebriate's doom !
To daily now, is to incur sure disaster; t
doubt longer, is to act the part of stupidit
or cowardice. Benevoience, philanthropy
patriotism, all, call loudly upon every Amel
lean citizen to do his duty. The serpent ha
been scotched, to some extent; buthe willrlS
again with ten-fold vigor, unless he be crust
ed to the death. Rush, then, to the bale
box, and exterminate the evil by the here's
lean club of popular indignation.

and when following the hound in full cry,
taking the daring leap as he few over the
fields, he was the admiration of all. Two
or three times a week, with horse and dogs,
he was out-his nature finding relief in the
excitement and clamor of the chase.
Duck shooting was another favorite pas
time, and he spent hours in his boat, steal
ing stealthily on the coyeys of birds, or
watching their flight from his place of con-
cealment. His love of this sport once
brought him in collision with a bold, reck-
less fellow, who lived on the opposite side
of the Potomac, but would often cross and
shoot near Mount Vernon. Washington
had repeatedly forbade his doing SO, but
without effect. In some secluded creek or
nook the poacher would hide away and
shoot at leisure. One day the former hear
ing a shot, sprang on his horse and gallop-
ed toward the spot whence the sound came.
The maraudcr, seeing him approach, ran
for his skif, and had just time to push of
from the shore and leap in as Washington
galloped up. The latter instantly rode in
and seized the boat. The reckless fellow
within Immediately leveled his gun al
WashingtOn's breast swearing that he WOULD
shoot him dead if he did not let him 90
But the southern blood of the excited young
planter was up, and paying no attention t.
his threats, he drew the desperate fercel,
ashore. He then disarmed and dragge,
him out upon the bank, and gave him
thorough cowhiding, as merely a forecast
of what awaited him if he continued hi
depredations. The cure was effectual, an
the poacher sought other fields in which t
prosecute his calling. There was somethin
about Washington's demeanor and lool
when excited, that would make a bold ma
hesitate to assail him.

Lecturers.

On our return home, we found several let
ters relative to supplying some portions of
the field with the Lecturers, which we take
pleasure in announcing:
Rev. II. L. Weatherly consents to take the
Counties of Alamance and Chatham and a
portion of Orange. We hope he will also
take Cumberland county. His address is
Winston, Forsythe county, N. G.
DR.. E. L. Perkins has been pressed into
service, to take, charge of Duplin, Bladen,
and New Hanover. His address is Clinton,
n. G.
Rev. "A. j. Battle accepts the counties of
Wayne, Greene, Pitt, Lenoir, Craven, Beau
fort, Hyde, Tyrrell, and Washington. His
address is Wilson, N. G.
Northampton and BERTHE counties have
been added to Rev. @. II. Trotman's District.
His address is Mintonsville, Gates CO., N. c..
Rev. G.. P. Jones, while he positively refuses
to accept an Agency, has kindly consented,
so far as he can, to serve the cause of Tenn
perance in the counties Of Sampson and John
ston. His address is Fayetteville, where let
tiers will reachhim, apprising him of appoint
ments made to address the people. He
should be consulted as to time.
The same remarks apply to Rev. P. w.
Archer. His position was stated a week OF
two ago, in our columns.
Let every County not provided for, set a.
bout securing a County Lecturer to take es-
pecial charge of it, if it is the best they can
do. The Committee has exerted itself to it;
utmost extent to cover the entire field with
laborers but they have been unable to dc
so. One man in each county, however, dur
ing the month of July, can cover the entire
ground; and we hope the friends of the cause
will not neglect to procure the men and Sc
F them to work at farthest by the first of July
Much can be accomplished, if effort be mad
t at the right " niche of time"

Rss Great pity that the grog-shop bust
ness could not be made more respectable it
is these contemplate three cent holes that
does so much mischief" So said a man not
long since. lie wanted better liquor sold,
better men engaged in the business, license
made vastly higher and all the common stencil
pits closed. We thought we could see the rea-
son the gutter filled with vulgar sots, would
not be brought so near the steps of the fash
ionable and mirrored hell where broadcloth
tipplers sip wine, and all unpleasant a~ssocia-
tions would thus be avoided. Fashionable
drunkards would not then be so constantly
offended by coming in contact with stagger-
ing ragstacks and would not sicken over
!" bad liquor" Sots could graduate without
fear of reproach. Drunkenness would be-
come a rare accomplishment, gained at great
expense and study. Gilded saloons would
have no rivalry to underbid them in the price
for damning men The Rum-trafic would
then be a profitable, genteel, respectable, dew
ilish monopoly.
We are so fanatical" that we can neither
see the justice or the beauty of such a plan.
If the Law declares it is essential for the
comfort of the travelling public, that the ne
c~essities of the citizens require and the pow
erty of our treasury demands, that hell be
duplicated at every village and crossroads in
J the land, let us have the genuine and no
sham-invest the duplicates with all the
damnable ~appendages of the original. Let
the meanest men that can be fshed up from
the slime and filth of the lowest hell of in.
e fanny and guilt to be found in all the land,
be selected to sell the accursed compounds
in the meanest places on earth, and let the
customers stand at the board in rags as well

of drunkards be made a monopoly Do not

We 40 get any more Cubs then"
We remember reading an anecdote some
years since of an old Indian, who, in his hum
ting excursions came across a she wolf, PROV
ling along the edge of a dismal swamp. Al
though within rife shot, he reserved his fire,
and chose rather to track her den, where he
captured three cubs. The government was
then paying a bounty for wolfscalps, and ac-
cordingly, scalping the cubs, he presented
himself before the proper authorities, and
pocketed the bounty money. Formany years
he followed up this system, selling the scalps
of the cubs, when presenting himself one
morning at the Office Of the supervisors, the
astonished clerk asked
+" Is it possible there are so many wolves
in your country ?" Yes" was the lqconic
reply. "In the same swamp ?" eyes"
