A Good Story.

From Ohio comes capital temperance
story:
Judge Ray. the temperance lecturer,
in one of his cTorts here got of the follow
ing.
"All of those who in youth acquire q
hahit of drinking whiskey, at forty years
of age will b, total abstaners or drum
kards, No one can use whiskcy for year S
in moderation. If thercis2a perscn in the
audience b9fose me whose own experience
disputes this, let him make it known; |
will account for it, or acknowledge that l
am mistaken" ..sr -.. .....i
A tall, large man arose, an d folding hi
arms in digaifed mannor across his
breast, said: ....>......... ,.......

perionco cantradicts your statement"
Are you amodcratc drinker?" said the
Judge, r." -.. = J. 4

Forty years, y .. ......,.,,.....- --
"And were never intoxicated?"
''Nsver." . .. " ...
. "Well," remarked the Judge, scan
ming lis subject closely from head to foot,
yours is a singular case; yet I think it is
easily accounted for l am reminded by
it of a little story. A colored man, with
loaf of bread and flask of whiskey, sat
down to dine by the bank of clear stream.
In breaking bread some Of the crumbs
dropped in the water. These were eager
ly seized AMI eaten by the fish. That
circumstance suggested to the darkey the
idea Of dipping the bread in the ~whiskey
and feeding it to them. He tried it, 1t
worked well. Some of the fish ate it. be-
coming drunk, and foatel h lplessly on
the water. In this way he easily caught a
great number. But in the stream was
large fish very unlike the rest 1t partook
freely of the bread and whisksy, but with
no porceptiblf effect, TWAS shy of every
eaasrt !of the .darkey to take it., lie resolv-
ed to have it at all hazards, that he Nigh
learn its name and nature. He proour-
ed net aud after much effort, caught it,
carried it to colored neighbor, and asked
his opinion in the matter. The other sur
veyel the wonder moment, and then
said, Sambo, 1 un'srstanls dis case. Dat
tish is a mullet head: it h int got any
brains! In other words added the judge.
""lcohol affects only the brain, and Of
course. those having none may drink

struction and of such decided advantage and supe-
riority over all other devices of the kud pre-
sented to the public as to delight every perssn whs

The arrangement is so etfectual and reliable that
while the action of the bit is the same that of
ordinary Bride, while horse goes quietly, the
very act of shying first attempt either to run
kick, brings into action the safety strap effectu
being selfacting by the increased strain upon the
lines held in driving; and consequently the driver
is never taken by surprise, nor need he change his
grip on the lines, when double lines ate used.
Persons wishing individual rights, by enclosing
$500 to the undersigned will be FURNISHED with an
assignment and full directions that any saddler
will know tha exact length and connection Of the
parts and make the same. ..

separate propositions will be submitted by

Chairman will soon present the final report OF
the Committee, summing up the results or

the Committee on Pacific Railroad, offered a
resolution. which vas adopted, providing for
An evening session tomorrow, for the pur-
pose of hearing reports from the COMMITTEE.
The parliamentary resolution to consider
and lay on the table so as to secure the mo-
ton, having been made by Mr.. Price, Mr..
Washburne, Of Illinois, inquired the object of
having . session TO- morrow evening.
Mr.. Price responded, that the Committee
ON the Pacific railroad had not been called
on for the last two months, and too all ap-
De ances would not be called on for two
months longer. It had very important bills
to report, and by the means suggested 1t
would not interfere with any other business.
Mr.. Washburne thought it would be CIV

over any other. The Committee on Com
