''EIidden Crime" in New Eng

It's spread excites general and we'll
founded alarm. Az least one religious
denomination has touched upon the
topic in the pulpit, as well as pressed
it upon the attention. Of its people in
private, Horace Greeley has made it
the subject of recent articlein the
Independent. Other exponentss OF tho
public alarm appear in numerous pub-
lications, mostly printed in Boston,
which shows the extent OF the crime
and suggests means for itssuppreHsion.

ANObIe Record.

Gov. Geary of Pennsylvania, who
has filled many difficult and response
BILE stations in civil and military life,
having been in the Mexican war, and
early mayor of San Francisco, COVER
nor Of Kansas during stormy times,
and a general during the rebellion,
gave the following testimony at the
State Temperance Convention at Har-
risburg, of which he was president:
'Duriug my military service in Mex
leo and through the rebellion, and
while on the shores of the Pacific and
in Kansas, I never found it necessary
to use liquor. I was nominated for
the highest Office in the gift of the
people of Pennsylvania, have gone
through the long canvass, and have
been elected without it. At the time
of my Inauguration there was no whis-
key used, and will give a pledge to
this Convention that my official du-
ties shall be performed throughout my
term Of Office without a single drop
being used" Would that all our he
rOes and statesmen were equally free
from this debasing and ruinous vice.

Miscellaneous.
The Suez Canal.

While the attention of Americans is di-
rected toward the great project of uniting
the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans by railroad
communication, it may not be uninterest-
ing to glance at the progress made in the
Old World toward the union by water COM
munication of the Atlantic and Indian
Oceans. The projected ship canal across
the isthmus Of Suez connecting the Medi-
terranean with the Red Sea and through
these uniting two Oceans and forming a
direct passage to India, after seven years
Of labor is not half completed. The COM
pany formed for the work was organized
with capital of $40 OOO,O 900. The canal is
to be nearly one hundred miles in length,
two hundred and sixty feet wide and
twenty-six feet deep.
The proposed route passes through high
drift sands which when once excavated, it
would seem, must continue an endless
source of trouble and expense, the action
of the winds and the corrosion of the banks
by passing vessels, demanding constant
and repairs.
For the first nine miles north Of Ismaileh
the canal is only dug to halfits future COM
plete width. Beyond this, for the remain
ing distance to Port Said, there are two
each of one-third the complete
width, the center portion being left so that
traffic may be carried on in the one channel
while work is progressing in the other
The average depth throughout is only sew
en- feet.

The State Sabbath School Com

The State Sabbath School Con-
4 VentiOn.
The attendance upon the Sunday School
Convention lately held at Xenia, is said to
have been very large. The old officers
were mostly reelected. A resolution of
thanks to the officers was unanimously
adopted.
A subscription of about 81, 100 was sub
scribed for the support of the Travelling
Secretary. which makes an aggregate of
about $500 raised for that purpose.
Rev. James Trimble delivered an address
on Sunday School Literature, and the sub
ject was further discussed by Mr.. David
son and Mr.. Nelson. Mr.. Davidson
thought much of this literature was Of too
light character, and he urged more sub
Stantial books for Sunday School libraries.
Dr.. Nelson defended the character of this
literature. He did not believe that any of
the books generally procured for Sunday
School libraries were unsuitable for Chris
tian culture.
Addresses were made by several persons.
The colored children were addressed by
Elder Burnet and B. F. Franklin, of Gin
cinnati. The children of the Sabbath
Schools marched in procession through the
streets.
There is said to have been great enthusi-
Rsm in the Convention.

STOPPING NEWsPAPERs.-A GER
tain man hit his toe against a pebble,
and fell headlOng to the ground. He
was vexed, and under the influence Of
anger and seIfsuffciency he kicked
mother earth right sauciIy. With
perfect gravity he looked to see the
earth itself dissolve and come to
naught.-But the earth remained, and
only his poor foot was hurt in the en-
counter. This is the way Of man.
An article in the newspaper touches
him in a weak spot, and straightway
he sends to stop his paper. With
great cOmplacency he looks to see the
crash, when the object of his spleen
shall cease to be. Poor fool! he has
only hit his own toe against a world
that does not perceptibly feel the
shock, and Injuries, to that extent,
none but himself.

The Word .'White. /"

1t Is a fact, perhaps not generally
known that the word "white'' was re-
tained in the Constitution of 1902, of
this State, only By the casting Uots of
the President of the C0nUeatio1
Thus early in the history Of our State
we find the "Negro Suffrage ques-
tion within one Vots Of being the law
of our State. This feeling was only
in accordance with that which pre-
vailed to a great extent throughout
most Of the States at the time of the
adoption of the Constitution of the
United States. ColOred soldiers fought
side by side with white soldiers in the
war for our independence, and were
considered by our patriotic fathers
good enough to vote. The measure
then was Democrat.cl It is the same
to-day (NOt copperhead, however }
Neither property or intelligence is the
standard of qualification for voting
applied to white men. Why, in reas-
on or justice, should not the same rule
apply to cOlored men? We trust
some one will give US a good reason
(if there be such a thing) for the diff
ference In the rule Ripley Bee.

TYING HER BONNET UNDER HER
OHTN,

~ - ~
TYING HER BONNET UNDER HEI
CHIN.
Tying her bonnet under her chin
She tied her raven ringletB in
But not alone IN the silken suaro
Did she catch her lovely floating hair
For tying her bonnet under her chin
She tied young mans heart within.
They were strollinE together up the hill,
Where the wind comes blowing merry and chill,
And It blew the curls frolicsome race
Ali over the happy peach-eoOred faosi
Till scOlding and laughing she tied them in
Under her beautiful, dihpled chin.
And It blew color, light as the bloom
OF tia i,i-a-s-t fuchsias tossing Plume.
All over the cheeks Of the Prettiest girl
That ever imprisoned romping curl,
Or tying her bonnet under her chin,
Tied young mau's heart within.
Sleeper and sleeper grew the hilli
hadder, merrier, chiIlier still
The western wind blew down and played
The widest tricks with the little maid,
As tying her boinet under her chin
She tied young mats heart within.
Oh, western wind, DO you think it was h1ir
To- play such tricks with hor floating hair7
To gladly, glegfHily, do your best
To pIllOt her head gainHt the young mans breast
Where he as gladly folded her IN,
And kissed her mouth and dimpled chini
Oh, Ellery Yahe, SOu little thought,
An hour ago. when you besought
This country lass to walk with TUu,
Amer the sun had dried the dew
What PeriIOus danger you'd be in
As she tied her bonnet under her chin.

GENERAL Sheridan says Of Gov.
Wells, of Louisiana, whom he has re-
moved:
"I say now unquestionably Gov.
Wells was a political trickster and a
disuniOnist. 1 have seen him myself
when I first came to this command
turn out all Union men who had Sup
ported the Government, and put in
their stead rebel soldiers. Some of
them had not dofEed their gray uni
form. I have seen him again during
the July Riot of '66, skulk away
where 1 could not find him to give
him a guard, instead of coming out
as a manly representative Of the State,
and joining those who were desirous
of preserving peace.
"Ihave watched him since, and his
conduct has been as sindOus as the
mark made in the dust by the move
ment Of the snake. 1 say again that he
is dishonest"
