made to this movement, and 1t was in
fact endorsed by the Convention as one
of the agencies which had been and
might again be productive OF great
good.
4. With regard to the crusaders
against the cruet," it is sufficient to say
that the chairman of the committee on
resolutions once remarked that some
pleasantrles and pungents came under
the notice of the committee, for exam
pie communication had been before
them in which it was assumed that pep
per, mustard and vinegar were great
promoters Of intemperance, and there
fore their use ought to be discounten-
anced; that there were only three class
es who were safe, namely, those who
possessed great piety, those who had in
domitable ViAS, and those who were so
stingy that they would not part with
their money to buy liquor enough to
make even very nervous man drunk.
There was no action taken, the object of
the committee in abiding to the paper
at all being apparently to enliven the
meeting by a little variety.
The Journal closes its temperance ar
ticle as follows:
"On no subject has there been more
fiippant and irrelevant talk than on that
of intemperanCe; but surely there is
hardly any other that more demands
wise, earnest and dispassionate consid-
Grafton"
This is very just observation, and
we recommend it to the serious consid-
Grafton of the Journal editor, before he
writes anything more on temperance or
intemperance. NIB.

The Temperance Convention.

Editor Rutland Herald. The Boston
Journal Of Saturday last contained the
following statements
ut the eonvention) comprised Maine
law men, anti-Maine law men, advocates
OF license system, champions Of the
old Washingtonian pledge, and what
may be called crusaders against the
cruet,-or gentlemen who avowed them
selves in favor of prohibiting the use of
pepper, mustard and vinegar, on the
ground that these led directly to dram
drinking
As the Journal did not appear to have
q regular reporter at the convention, and
does not give any authority for its
statements, we will take the liberty of
saying that those statements, in our
opinion, need to be slightly modified.
!. The convention comprised Maine
law men, but no anti-Maine law men, so
far as could be discovered from any
thing that was said or done.
2. There was not single word uttered
in favor of license system, but elo-
Quent speeches, almost without number,
were made against such a system. The
Rev. DR.. Pierpoint in particular spoke at
length on that subject, showing that
the liquor traffic was wrong and muir
derous in its consequences, a virtual
transgression of the sixth command
ment, and therefore could not logically
be licensed, unless any or all other acts
prohibited in the Decalogue could be
licensed. ..sa
His sentiments met with hearty ap-
probation, but no opposition.
8. There were no champions of the
Washingtonian movement. One of the
committees reported that they had re-
ceived from Mr.. R. r. Potter printed
paper containing his recollections OF
the Washington movement, which will
PROBABLY appear in the published pro-
ceeaings. .Allusion was several times

The DEATH OF ALPINE TOURISTS
The telegraph has already mentioned the
death of three Englishmen, Lord Francis
Hudson and Mr.. Hadow, during an
ascent of the Matterhorn ia Switzer-
land. A neighboring clergyman has
given an account Of the melancholy
affair in the London Times. Having
briefly narrated the ascent of the party,
the writer says
"They met with no great difhculty and
reached the top about 2 O'Clock. There
they were in the greatest delight at the
accomplishment of their purpose. We
saw them distinctly from Zermatt.
About o'clock they began the descent.
Soon after they were all roped together
Croz (guide) was first, Hadow next ;
then came Hudson, Lord Francis Doug
las, Peter Taugeva'9 lguide), Whymper
and Peter Tau9eyald's son. Not far from
the summit they had to pass over diff
cult and rather dangerous place. 1t
was a decline composed of snow and
rock with very Indifferent holding for
the feet. They were descending with
great caution, when Whymper was
startled by an exclamation from Croz,
and the next moment he saw HadoW
and CrOz flying downward. The weight
Ct the two falling men jerked Hudson
and Lord Francis Douglas from their
feet. The two Taugevald's and Whym-
per, having warning of a second or
two from the time that Croz called out,
planted themselves as~frmly as possible,
to hold the others up. The pressure
upon the rope was too much. 1t broke,
and CroZ, Hadow, Hudson and Lord
Francis Douglas fell headlong down the
slope and shot out of sight over fear
full precipice
Mr.. Whymper's feelings at this time
may be imagined. The two remaining
guides were so completely unnerved by
the calamity which had befalen their
companions that he found it difficult to
descend with them. He and they spent
miserable night on the mountain at q
great hight AS they came down they
looked in all directions for some traces
of their companions but from the shape
of the mountain they could not catch
even glimpse of them. At 1890 A. NJ.
oh Sotuiuay IuSS lSdCuSu AtI udII,
The writer, who accompanied the
party that was dispatched in search of
the bodies OF the lost, says;
After an arduous walk, in which we
were exposed to much danger, we reach
ed the snow field on to which our friends
had fallen. When we looked up at the
1000 feet above us, and observed how
they must have bumped from rock to
rock before they reached the bottom, we
knew they could not be alive, and feared
that they would be so awfully mangled
that we should not be able to recognize
them. Our worst fears were realized.
We found no traces of Lord Francis
Douglas, with the exception of some
trifling articles of dress. His body
must either have remained on some of
the rocks above or been buried deeply in
the snow. Croz lay near to Hadow.
Hudson was some fifty yards above
them.
From the state of their remains the
danger of the place flor it is exposed to
showers Of stones), and the worry great
difficulty Of the way to it, we came to
the conclusion that the best thing we
could do would be to bury them In the
