"PERKrss."-We see quite num-
Der Of men every day afflicted with
this disorder. The poor fellows stag
ger aboutthe streets, objects of pity
and shame to all decent persons. The
'Connersville Times mentions bad
case Of Perkins in that place recently.
1t Gays that a company.of drunken
fellows broke into house where a
social party was being held and beat
once of the persons shamefully. The
indianapolis journal also mentions a
number Of very severe cases Of Per-
kins. and in fact, in almost every In
diana paper we pick up. we see noti-
ces Of the disorder: In this place. on

We have been permitted to read
mot Of the manuscript of another
book soon 70 be put to press BY Rev.
Fl. Gilmore, Of this place. His form
er works had good sale. and did
credit to their author-one on the Ev-
licences Of Christianity, and the other
on Baptism. but this is destined to
take no ordinary rank in the late pro-
duetions Of the press. 1t win gil a
vacuum In literature that has long
been felt by all Christians. It is en-
titled; The Naturalization Of Moral
GVv~nmenf in the Origin. Glory and
Destiny Of Nations. dc. 1t will be
most truly a Book for the Million. Z"
The student Of history has too Of
ten the mere statement Of facts. aud
IL there are any differences as to cause
and effect, the great central truth Of
Christianity is lost sight Of: that "The
Lord reigneth." The design Of this
book, which will compose some $50
pages, is TO trace the finger Of God. 10
the history Of the past, and not leave
all to mere chance. The authors
style is very agreeable, and we need
not tell those who have heard him
preach that his researches are such as
TO warrant the expectation Of q valua-
bic book. His chapters on the Chris
tian character and Christian destiny Of
America are deeply interesting. and
viii be read eagerly and pro6tably at
this time. We hope It may go.
through the press with due dispatch.
and that the mechanical execution may
be worthy the literary character Of the
work. This will be the case unques-
tionabIy, IL he succeeds in putting Il

JupcE HucnEs, VS.. THE RAILRoAp.
"A few months ago, Judge Hughes.
Of Bloomington. wished to take ride
on the Terrc Hautc and Indianapolis
evening express train. To be sure Of
getting aboard, he sent word to the Of
fcers at Telrc Haute that Judge
Hughes. and others. would wish TO
get on at a certain point, not in the
"time table," as stopping place for
the express Accordingly the CON-
pany were at the station, with Ian
terms and torches. but the iron horse
whizzed Ivy. just as the Judge was not
there. Instead OF going on that train,
the Judge and his comrades forthwith
got up an indignation meeting, and
passed some very indignant rcsolu-
tons. But the cars continued 10 run
regularly. Notwithstanding. and the
Judge continued his Indignation. A
few days ago farmer brought suit
against the same Road, in one Of
Judge Hughes's courts. to recover the
price Of COW that had been run over
and killed. ie.-t
When the case was called. the attor-
ney for the company happened to be
out Of the court room. and no one APP
pearing for the company, judgement
was rendered by default. In few
moments the attorney came in. He
Immediately moved that the Judge
ment might be set aside. as he was un-
avoidably detained from the court
room at the time that the case was
called. The Judge very coolIy replied
that "the railroad company newer
waited for the court, neither would
the court wait for the railroad comPs-
n.y."

Prohibition in Connecticut.

Ii is. now about fifteen, months
since the Prohibitory Law went into
effect in Connecticut, time enough to
show whether or not it is capable OF
doing good. The result is quite as
satisfactory as the friends Of Prohibit
ton could have expected. At first
its beneficial effects far transcribed
all that the most sanguine had an.
ticipated. The rum-trafiic seemed
struck stone dead at single blow
Drunkards were nowhere to BE- found.
Hundreds of active. stirring business
men had the pleasure Of spending one
whole year in this State without witt
Messing that painful specticle Of a per-
son intoxicated. And in every COM
munity some of those who were form
erly always intoxicated, who were
therefore idle and useless. il not vi
cious and in mischief, were seen to be
sober and industrious. clothed in their
right minds. The change was amaz-
ing. Drunken brawls were unknown.
The timid and defenceless could VEN
ture abroad even at nightfall without
fear. That the law has not been quite
so well observed OF late as il was du-
ring the first eight or ten months can
not be disguised. And yet let not
the hasty reader Jump at the conclu-
sion thatit is failure in Connecticut.
1t is far enough from that. lit had
not at first so far transcribed the high
est anticipation, all would be perfectly
satisfied with the present results. II
we had not, for time, seen even a
better state Of things than the present,
we should say that the law was now
accomplishing al that it was possible
for prohibition to do. 1t was to be
expected that in time the wicked
would learn some acts Of evasion
which they did not at first understand.
Thus clrb-diinking and secret selling
prevail now to greater extent than
they did at FIRST. The public dram
shops are still unknown, aud not more
than one hundredth part of the drum
kenness is now seen as before the law
went into operation. In proof Of this
we may mention two facts:
At the recent Agricultural Fair q
Ncw-London county. held for two
days in Norwich. thousands we're
gathered together from all parts oI
the county and State. There was no
drinking, no fights, no brawls upon The
grounds In all the two days, only
one man was seen Intoxicated. Be-
fore the law went into operation every.
body knows that two such gala days
could not have passed without score
of drunken disgracing the oc-
casion. One against twenty is a
great gain. A similar result was wit
messed at Hartford, at the State Fair.
We have conyersed with several wit
nesses, who were there throughout the
four days exhibition. Among the
60. 900 persons who thronged the city
on the occasion, they saw but one man
drunk ind he was in the hands Of the
police.
These are some OF the facts which
show that the law is still doing q glo-
rious work in that little State.-1riJ.

DISTINGUISHING Ministers.

Let ministers Of all denominations
be denied the right to hold Office un-
der our law and they may then learn
the obligations they are under to God.
Sentinel.
We are not surprised at the an
nouncemrnt Of the above by the SEN
tinel. We knew that such was the
design Of the Democracy whenever it
could be accomplished. II has been
avowed from time to time on the
stump. and on the streets, but this is
the first time we have seen it in
print. We presume it is now thrown
out as feeler to see whether it will
do to incorporate in the platform for
the next year. We think il will do.
1t will only be embodying in law the
hate the old line party have for the
ministers of all [protestant] demon
nations" t
When il is remembered that at
least two thirds of the ministers Of
Indiana are men who work with their
hands six days Of the seven. for the
support Of themselves and families.
and devote the seventh. without fee
or reward, to the moral and religious
instruction of their fellow men, il will
be understood for what offence they
are to be deprived Of the rights Of
other citizens. The man who spends
his Sabbaths fishing. or hunting. or
swearing, or gambling, or drinking, or
lounging about groceries or taverns.
may be eligible to Office, under the
"pure democracy" Of modern times,
but to devote the sacred hours to
preaching and giving moral and reli:
gious instruction, Is an offence that
needs correcting. We hope the con-
vention will speak out on the subject
and not dodge il, as the late one did
the temperance question.
