TEMPERANCE LECTURE. lecture
ofC.G. Truesdale at the Court House last
Monday was rare treat The speaker
showed himself to be a very earnest and
able advocate ola good cause. He ar
gued strongly for the prompt enforce
ment of the present Liquor Law.
The enforcement of the present law
will soon demonstrate all over the State,
as it has demonstrated in this county,
that beer saloons are one of the greatest
obstacles to the eradication of intemnnr-
The magnitude of the evil of intem-
perance Is not appreciated by those liv-
ing In temperance. community. A
few figures however will show at glance
the main features of the evil.
In 1860 there were consumed i'm the
United States, 1OO, SOC, 600 gallons Of spir-
ituous liquors, and 1O2, 90O, 900 of malt
liquors, making in all 203, zoo, 900. At
the same rate for ten years the amount
consumed would be 2,O37 100000. At an
average retail price Of 81, IS per gallon for
spirituOus, and go cts. per gallon for malt
liquors, the value for the whole amount
consumed In ten years would be s., 3S1, :
400 900. Add to this S223, 100000 (Which
Is low estfmate), for costs and penalties
incurred on account of crimes caused by
intemperance, and we have the sum of
$2,6O4 ,6OO, 600. ar
We see from this that the amount
spent by the people of the United States
in ten years for, and on account OF
liquor Is sufficient to discharge debt
incurred by four years of the most gigan-
tic warfare that ever convuIsed nation.
Correct estimates show that the num-
Der of deaths occasioncd directly and in
directly by liquor in the United States,
during ten years, is about BOG, 600, which
Is more than were killed on the battle
field in the late war.
These are some of the material results
without taking into consideration tho
unspeakable misery and long train Of
evils that follow in the wake of these
results,

1 Rem 0rK0t{e Case.

The following article is indeed what
the caption Indicates, a most remarkable
case. We conclude it must be true,

the fact that so many persons OF known
truth and verracity testify to theauthen-
ITCHY OF the Statements:
Some time ago farmer living near
Ell Paso had a daughter about ten years
old. While playing with the cat one
day, the animal turned and bit her on
the arm. Several days passed, and the
wound on the little girls arm healed.
One day, while at the table, she attemp-
ted to drink water rnd was seized with
commissions, giving unmistakable signs
of hytlrophobia. Her father came To
this city and procured some medicine
for her from physician. Returning
home, he found his daughter lying on
a lounge, evidently in great pain, not
having been able to swallow anything
since her first commissions. AS soon as
she saw her father she climed into his
arms with the eXclamation:
"Father, I've seen Mary"
Mary was an infant sister, who had
died several years before.
Her father, thinking that her mind
wandering attempted to quiet her; but
she SUN insisted lllut size Iii(t SCtH iiVi
little sister, and that Mary told her thai
if she took Il teaspoonful of nitric acid
and sweet Oil, she would get well. Her
father told her to lie down, and he would
fix the medicine he got from town.
She presently got up again eXclalmlng:
"Eather, Mary says that l must take
the acid now, if l would get well; Il"
give it to me!',
On his refusing, she again lay down
on the lounge. Presently she got up a
third time, crying:
FEATHER, | must have it. Mary says
| must, and that / must have tooth
pulled. | must be bled in the mouth. =
Her father told her to keep still IN
Il short time she screamed out that her
tooth hurt her. After an interval o!
half minute, she cried out again, and
soon ran up to her father, crying:
"Mary says | must have my tooth
pulled" and at the same moment the
tooth Ga sound one) dropped on the flooi.
The little girl said:
"Father, Mary has pulled it; now do
get me the acid.'
The astonshed father finally got a
teaspoontul of acid, and mixing it with
sweet oil, gave it to her. Previously,
as we have stated, she had been unable
to swallow; but she drank the mixture
down without any trouble, and return

DIED OF GR1EF.-A touchin" incident

DIED OF GRIEF.-A touehin" incident
is related by the Milwaukee, Wisconsin,
rs having occurred in that city lately.
About two years ago Mr.. Strausburg
purchased for his child, six years old,
named Willie, n young Newfoundland
dog, which was also called Willie. The
two became Very muchattached. About
two months ago the dog was run over
by the team of Mr. s., his leg broken,
and he injured so seriously that it was
found necessary to kill him. The grief
Of the little fellow was inexpressible.
He cried incessantly, and called contin-
ually for his companion. The father to
quiet his grief, had the dogs Eide stuff
ed, but it satisfied the child only for a
day. Another dog similar in appear
anee, was purchased for the boy, but he
would pay no attention to it, calling
continually for Willie. Every effort
was made to distract the little ones at
tention from the object upon which it
was fixed, but without success. For a
week he lay in his little bed, huggng
the stuffed dog skin close to him, moan
ins frequently, just above whisper,
and sometimes breaking out into paroX-
ysnls OF grief, and calling loudly for
Willie. He would eat very little. and
every day when food was given him, he
would offer it first to the Object beside
him, and upon no attention being paid
to his desire, would throw it aside.
One day the chid's grief had settled
into that quiet, half slumhering state
that so plainly speaks an approaching
dissolution. He asked his mother, as
he had done many times before, if Will
lie had gone to heaven, and when being
answered at1irmatively. asked. "Shall |
"Mama, | love you and / love papa,
but l want to go and see Willie. Good
bye, mama, am going to see Willie
now" Before the mother could reach
the child's side, he was dead-had died
without struggle, and without Il gasp
that could be heard-quietly, calmly.
his little heart wore itself away from
the effect of excessive grief.

Il JetUiSk DivOrcc.

The New Haven Journal and Courier
has the. folio wing:
yesterday divorce, according to
the practise in the Hebrew Church, took
place at the residence of the Rev. j. Ga
briel. At the present term OF the Supe-
riOr Court a divorce was obtained by
Louis Rothschild from Esther Roths-
child. One of the parties desired that a
divorce should also be granted after the
manner of the Hebrew custom. Yester-
day it was accomplished. As it is some

As follows: The wife, dressed in black,
with a black veil over her face, appeared
with her husband before a council OF ten
men, members oft the synagogue. There
were also present three rabbins, one of
whom acted as the petitioner, and wrote
out on parchment a petition in Hebrew
asking for divorce; and also wrote out
the decree of the divorce; the second ac
ted as the respondent or defendant, and
the third us kind of judge; the council
OF ten acting as a jury. The man and
wife having appeared, they stood side
by side before the council. The rabbins
and council then took an OATH all shak-

removed her Veil, and the rabbi who ac-
ted as petitioner read the petition in
German, and stated the case to the coun-
ell, who having heard it, deereed the
divorce. The decree, folded up, was
handed TO the husband, and the wife
raising her open hands, the husband
dropped the paper into them. The rab-
bi who acted as judge then took it and
cut the ends like Il fringe. He then
handed it to the president Of the syna-
gogue, telling him to place it among
the records OF the society, to be preserv-

On one of the many bridges in Client
stands two brazen imag: of father and
son who obtained this distinguished
mark Of the admiration of their fellow
citizens by the following incident:
Both the father and son were for some
offence against the State condemned to
die. Some favorable circumstances APP
pearlng on the son, he was granted a re-
mission Of his sentence under certain
provisions; in short, Ne was offered a
pardon, on the cruel and barbarious con-
dition that he would become the execu-
TONER of his father.
He at first resolutely refused to pre-
serve his life by means SO fatal and de-
testable. This is not to he wondered at;
for let us hope, for the honour Of our ma
tnre, that there are very few sons who
would not have spurned with adherence
life sustained On condition so horrible
and unnatural. The son, though long
inflexifile, yielded at length to the en-
treaties of fond father, who represen-
ted to him that his (the father's) life
was forfeited, and it would be the great
est possible consolation for him to know
that he was an instrument of his sons
preservation.
The youth consented to adopt the hor-
rible means of recovering his life and
liberty, he lifted the aXe-but as it was
about to fall, his arm sank nerveless,
and theaX dropped from his hand.
Had he as many lives as hairs, he would
have yielded them all, one after anotf-
er, rather than again conceive, much
less perpetrate such an act. Life, liber-
ty, everything vanished before the dear
er interests OF filial affection; he fell up
on his fathers neck and embracing him
triumphantly exclaimed, My father

called for another eXecutioner to fulfil
the sentence of the law.
