An OLD SoAKER's LAST SPREE "A
correspondent of the Troy Daily Times,
writing from Berkshire, Mass, and re-
marking upon the great change which
has taken place in that region in conse-
quence Of the suppression of the rum
traffic, tells the following good story Of
an old soaker who has since reformed
and is now regular total abstinence
man. 1t is given in the old fellows own
words as follows: 81 once got a little
change together, and started off on a
regular bender 1 bought small keg
with bung-hole in the middle of it, so
that it would be handy to drink from,
and had it filled with rum. After tax
ing few good 'swigs,' hid it in a
cooper shop under some shavings, and
started for town. Falling in with ac-
quaintances, we all got gloriously drunk
and the spare change of the party was
soon all gone. Before long we all be-
gan to feel miserably dry again; but
money and credit were both gone
Fuddled as we all were, we started for
the cooper shop. Arriving there, after
having travelled over much surplus
ground, 1 got hold of what 1 supposed
a keg of rum, but the bung wouldn't
come out. Each one of us tugged and
pulled, dug and chewed at it; but all in
vain. We separated in despair. 1 car
ried it home for a sober trial; and what
do you think it was? Why, it was The
head Of an old srooden beetle, with just
enough of the handle left to stick in its
place. My rum keg was still in the
shavings, and there l let it stay. That
was my last spree"

~Many a time a mans whole Of
worldly consolation is laid upon a
promise, which broken, his anchor is
gone, and he is left a wreck on the
boisterous waves and winds of adversi-
ty. This many times takes man of
from the benignities and pleasures Of
life, and crowds him down to the hor-
rors of a sad defeat, which compels
him to a desperateness that may prove
of very i'll consequence.

CONFIDENCE IN ONES SELF.-Wher
a crisis befaHs you, and the emergency
requires moral courage and noble man
hood to meet it, be equal to the require
ments of the moment and rise superior
to the obstacle in your path. The uni
versal testimony of men whose expert
ence exactly coincide with yours fur
nishes the consoling reflection that diff
eulties may be ended by opposition
There is no blessing equal to the pos
session of a stout heart. The magni-
tude of the danger needs nothing more
than a greater effort than ever at your
hand. If you prove recreant in the
hour of trial you are the worst of re-
creants, and deserve no compassion
Be not dismayed nor unnamed when
you should be bold and daring. unfinch-
ing and resolute. The cloud whose
threatning murmurs you hear with fear
and dread is pregnant with blessings,
and the frown whose stearnness now
makes you shndder and tremble will ere
long be succeeded by smile OF be-
witching sweetness and benignity. Then
be strong and manly, oppose equal for
ces to difficulties, keep stiff upper-lip,
and trust in providence. Greatness can
only be achieved by those who are tried.
The condition of that achievement is
confidence in ones self.

New ORLEANS RIors.--NEw Or.
LEANS, Sept. 13.-Our city has been the
scene of some terrible riots between the
Americans and Irish, in which severa
lives were lost and many badly injured
There are many rumors and exag.
gerated reports in circulation in regard
to the cause of it. From the best in
formation can obtain, l learn that the
first outbreak occurred on Sunday eve
ming, growing out of political discus
sion between party of Americans and
Irish. A savage fight ensued, in which
firearms and clubs were freely used.-
A number of the participants in the riot
were badly wounded before it could be
quelled by the police. On the follow
ing day one of the wounded died, and
much excitement followed in conse-
quence.
The excitement continued on the in
crease throughout Monday, and as soon
as night set in the riot was renewed with
still greater violence, each party ap-
parently being prepared for it. The
news spread rapidly through the city,
and it was reported that several had
been killed, but this report fortunately
proved to be premature. Pistols and
guns we're fred into the crowds, and
many of the rioters received serious in
juries. The police again succeeded in
making several arrests and restoring
order.
The rioters again assembled on Tues
day evening, when the struggle was re-
newed with redoubled ferocity. Two
of the rioters were killed on the ground,
and quite number were carried Off
some of them shockingly wounded.
The riotous fever continued to increase
during Monday. The Mayor ordered
out the National Guards and the entire
police force. This had the effect of in
timidating the rioters, and up to the
time of sending this dispatch no further
outbreak had taken place.
The military, however, are still held
under arms, to be ready in the event of
a renewal of the disgraceful riots.
Still Further Particulars.-The Ex-
press of yesterday says the Know
Nothing lodges here received a dis
patch from New Orleans this morning
that on Sunday evening last
a terrible riot broke out there between
the Americans and the Irish, when a
number of persons were shot before the
riot was quelled. But on Monday night
the riots were renewed with still greater
when many others were badly
injured, so much so that some of the
were reported to be dead
Then on Tuesday evening the riots
again broke out, and in the struggle
two other persons were killed.
The mayor had called out the mill
tary, and the peace was kept under a
species of martial law, so that order
now prevails.

How CANADA OBTAINED ITS NAME
The origin of the word Canada" is
curious enough. The Spaniards visited
that country previous to the French,
and made particular search for gold and
silver. and finding none, they often said
among themselves, "Aea naaa," (there
is nothing here. The IndiaIs-who
watched closely-learned this sentence
and its meaning. The French arrived,
and the Indians (who wanted none of
their company, and supposed they also
were Spaniards come on the same err
rand. were anxious to inform them in
the Spanish sentence, "AcG nada. -
The French, who knew as little of Span
ish as the Indians, supposed this inces-
sanity recurring sound was the name of
the country, and gave it the name of
Canada" which it has borne ever
since.
