The Congressional Temperance Society.

The Congressional Temperance Society.
THE formation of a Congressional Temperance
Society is good step in the right direction.
There is, probably, some Of our readers who
do not recognize drunkenness as q vice but
what in private individual is a wrong, an
injury to himself, and an insult to society, in
a public servant is a heinous crime, a cruel
and unjustiiable betrayal of public confidence
an act disgraceful to himself and his con
stituents. 1t is with sincere regret that we
must say that great majority of our public
men are addicted to the use of ardent spirits.
We have seen the spectacle of Senator of the
United States entering the Senate Chamber
in condition on par with the verest drunken
beggar in the gutter. Nor is such an instance
unparalleled, for during the session of that
body, within year past, another member in
ut OF drunken rage, drew a revolver on the
Sergeant-at-Arms in the presence of the
highest Legislature of our land. When these
facts are patent, who can fail to Join with us
IN rejoicing at the proposed reformation
The manly speech of Governor Yates is one
which cannot fail to have good effect through
out the length and breadth of the land, while
the commencement of the movement by such
men as Henry Wilson, Schuyler Colfax Sena-
tor Morrill,, and the like, will give an 6clat and
a standing to the effort which will encourage
others to come and do likewise. We have had
too many instances of intoxication in the high
est places of the land not to feel hopeful at the
already commenced reformation. The Houses,
as official bodies, took wise step in ordering
the removal of the bar beyond the limits of the
Capitol building and we feel confident that
the meeting, outside of its semi-offcial charac-
ter, will give an impetus to reformation which
will save our country from the disgrace Of
having leaders and law makers the slaves of
the basest Of their appetites.

THE END OF THE IRISH OUTBREAK
Fenian outbreak in Ireland has already come
to an end. The county of Kerry has been pro-
claimed to be in a state of siege. Some one
hundred and fifty of the rioters have been
arrested, and the Government is despatching
more troops to Ireland.
The result of this late outbreak will simply
be to add few more victims to the already
long catalogue of those who have already suf-
fered for Irish independence. The work is a
hopeless one, and no more lives should be
wasted upon it. Irish emancipation must
finally come with the general emancipation of
the British masses from the dominion Cd the
aristocracy. The independence of Ireland as
separate power is, probably, destined to be
never realized.

ExPLANATIoN.-We asked some days since
what Congress meant by accusing its members
of ''nigging," and whether to ''nigg'' was
crime? We have received a letter from a
gentleman who was present in the House at
the time of the debate, who endeavors to sim
plfy the difficulty by stating that the word
was not ''nigging," but ''rigging." Well, we
hope this simplifes the matter, but to us it
seems very much like defining ''peripere,"
as a periphery" Itleaves us about as much
in the dark as we were before.

Accidents Of Speech.

Pat has long labored under the imputatiOn Of
making more accidents with the tongue than
any OF his tellow-mortals, but it can be very
readily shown that the "bull" is not necessarily
indigenous to Irish soil.
A Frenchman named Gallon, who died in
Paris not many years ago, was remarkable for a
bovine tendency. There is a letter of. his in
existence as follows:-"My dear friend-I left
my knife at your lodgings yesterday. Pray
send it 10 me if you find it.. Yours, Gallon
P. S.-Never mind sending the knife; L have
found it,
There is note to his wife, which he sent
home with basket OF provisions; the postscript
to which read: "You will find my letter at the
bottom OF the basket. If you should fail to do
so, let me know as soon as possible"
1t is said of this same character that on one
occasion he took lighted taper to find his
way down stairs without accident, and after
getting down brought it back with thanks,
leaving himself at the top of the stairs in the
dark as at first.
1t was a Scotch woman who said that the
butcher Of her town only killed half beast at a
time,
1t was a Dutchman who said pig had no
ear marks except short tail; and 1t was
British magistrate who, being told by vaga-
bond that he was not married, responded,
'That's good thing for your wife"
