TIPPING AMONG WoMEN.-The London Sntur-
day ReUieac, of a recent date, has the following,
which affords food for reflection
The most remarkable thing, however, about
the spread of taste for stimuants, is its extern
sion to ladies' If ones own observation did
not serve to disclose the fact, the Lancet assures
us that women are falling into habits of drinking
not less fatally than men. But we might very
well have found this out without reading a med
cal newspaper. Any philosopher who chooses
to go to ball, and take ais stand near the buffet
or survey the supper table with an observant eye
will see that the old fashioned beverages which
cooled but did not in briate, are indeed supplied
just for forms sake but that they have entirely
lost their ancient popularity. He will see young
women dash off as much champagne and claret,
in the course of a single lively evening, as would
more than have suficed their grandmothers for
a month. The ease and familiarity with which
they drink is worthy Of the most accomplished
frequenter of New York bar. That the results
are not more astonishing than they are, is, 10
itself, most satisfactory proof of seasoned
head. At dinner one may notice the same taste
for stimulants. The afternoon tea is beginning
to be tea and something else. Even the yodng
matrons have begun to feel the necessity Of that
brandy and water which is prescribed for their
over-tasked lords. They, too, have become per-
suaded, to use doctorial phrase, OF the necessi.
ty of keeping up the system. A woman who has
within earshot of q plausible and sympathetic
physician, soon catches the cant about the disor
ders of our day being Enthusiastically disorders
| of the low type. In alarm lest she should bring
up an enfeebled offspring, she flies to usual spir
| ituous tonics. The consequences of this alcos
holic panic among women are obviously more
Objectionable than its consequences among men,
For women, as arule, little idle and little
vacant. The women who take wine most liber-
Eally are commonly the most idle and the most
vacant of all The effect Of stimulants upon
peopte with active interests Is badenough in one
way its effect upon people without some active
1 interests is more than bad enough in another
way. If ladies had their "rights, and SO were
allowed to work more, they then might also be
permitted to drink more. But to stimulate peo-
ple, and then to provide them with no proper
! field for their stimulated condition, is about as
certain and infallible process for bringing them
| forward in the way which they should not 60 as
we can think Of The topic is not particularly
pleasant one for husbands aud brothers, and un-
less doctors pull up in their zeal for strong and
blood heating drings, it is likely to grow more
and more unpleasant.

TIE McMANus MURDER.-Some time ago, on
learning of the death OFF. W. McManus, report
ed to have occurred from the accidental dis
charge of his own pistol, on the night of August
8th, near Malad Station, while on his way from
Lemhi to Salt Lake City, we said that the shoot
ing, bad, most likely been done by Vigilante
murderers. A letter recently received by gem
tleman in this city, from friend Of the deceased
who has taken much care to investigate the
matter, states McManus was deliberately murder

front seat, and McMauus occupied the middle
seat. While dosing, be wsa mortaily shot

his property, amounting TO several thousand
dollars, to relatives-Iddho World.

The FUTURE OF NATIONAL BASKs.-The London
Economist has recently contained series of arti-
cles on the national banking system of this coun.
try for the information of its English readers.
They are not worth republishing as the facts
are pretty well known on this side of the ocean
but the conclusions of the Economist-coufess-
edly the highest financial authority, in the way
of popular publication, in the world-are SO
startling, that we give them in these columns:
Unless notifications speedily introduced,
of which at present there is no sign whatever but
the exact contrary it is not difficult to forsee the
manner in which the National Bank system will
sooner or later come to an end. The large num-
Der of incompetent, inexperienced careless, sche-
ming and speculating people who have forced
themselves or been attracted into the control of
national banks, will grossly mismanage the busi-
ness They will dissipate the deposits in foolish
or dsreputable advance, and the banks will fail.
Under the law of prior lien, the government will
out of any available assets, as far as possible,
pay itself first, and in full, the amounts of its
deposits, and the ordinary creditors, as in the
recent case at New Orleans, will be left without
fsrthng The notes of the failed bank will be
at least to some extent covered by the lodgment
of federal securities, but there will be wide field
for ingenious financing in the realization, sudden
or gradual of these securities, and in the can
ceiling, sudden or gradual, of the particular ma
tonal bank notes tainted bv default. 1t is very
possible that series of failures Of national banks
may create a panic and bring down large part
of the organization at once, or the distrust and
! dissatisfaction may operate more gradually.
During the last two years the national banks
have had all in their favor. They have run up
their circulation from twenty-five to sixty mill
ions sterling, and prices have all been rising.
They have now reached the limit to which they
can issue notes, and the process of reaction has
set in, which, by slow stages and afer consid-
erable interval, will render cash payments again
possible. But this period of reaction is precisely
the kind of ordeal which a host of new banks,
hastily set up for political purposes, and largely
in The hands of persons utterly ignorant OF sound
banking rules, are at least likely to encounter
with success or survive with credit

A Letter..

What is letter. Let affection tell
A tongue that speaks for those who absent dwell
A silent language uttered to the eye,
That envious distance would in vain deny
A link to bind, where circumstances part,
A nerve Of feeling, stretched from heart to heart
Formed to convey, like an electric chain,
The mystic fash, the Frightening of the brain,
And thrill at once, through its remotest link,
The throbs of passion, by drop ofink.

of Mclean in 1865, which was 1886. Both

Good Temper in Business.

Many Christian has infrmities of
temper which impair his religious infu-
ence; and few businessmen can re-
view their lives without regret or re-
morse. The Christian Iatelhgencer makes
honorable mention of businessman in
Boston whose example can be COM
mended for general imitation. The
grace of God can control both the heart
and the tongue: 81
"Not long since a Christian died in
Boston who had been uninterruptedly
in business for more than half csntu-
nv. What manner of man he was, ap-
pears by the record made just after his
death, that during this long period, ac-
cording to the testimony of those most
closely connected with him, he never
had an unpleasant dispute about any of
his business transactions. 'Of the two
required to make quarrel, he could
not be onai fer by his invariable good
humor and generosity be turned aside
an angry word, nor did his own mind
suffer from reverses or failure, since the
contentment in which he kept his spir-
it, and the natural sunshine of bis heart,
restored it almost Immediately to its
accustomed eveuness. Whatever trou-
bes he met--and he had his full share
could not long appear to outward OBJ
servers; not that he hid them in his
mind. He trustingly carried all bur-
dens to One able and willing to bear
them. With this eyenness of temper
he united Judgment and integrity.
Can any one give 3 reason why such a
record should be so rare7 True, there
are some men with whom, as Paul
seems to imply, it is impossible to live
peacOably.' Yet if the disciples studied
more habitually the Masters precept,
"Wiss as serpents and as harmless as
doves" there would be less wonder ct a
long business life pursued and finished
without a single alteration"

VVhat Gam be Done Wi1h Time.

What Can be Done With Time.
1t is a mistaken idea, and a some
what obtaining one, that a young per-
son can accomplish nothing, in any
point of view, unless he has plenty OF
time at his disposal. The miser lays
away one penny after another, and in
time his Golfers are full. 1t was only a
penny at first! So with any other
faculty of the mind. Lite is but many
moments. The golden moments Of
thoughtless childhood are passing rap
idly away, and soon the responsible and
weighty duties of an active, busy life
Overtake him, and, unless, like the prac-
tical economist, a right disposal is made
OF his time, he goes on in irresolution
and procrastination till the misspent
moments whiten his locks, and reproaeh
him for his neglect to sow early the
right kind of seed 10 the garden of
life. Webster filed up his dictionary
with one word alta time. AknOwledge
of all languages and sciences is acquired
by 6nding one fact after another. The
time that is used in amusements, be-
yond necessary physical exercise every
day, if rightly husbanded, would be
sufficient for the aquisition of that
knowledge that we, in after time, think
we would get, could the fowery path
of youth be once more trodden. Every
misspent moment tells fearfully against
him who will surely be found inadequate
to the task which he, for others, has
undertaken to perform. As surely as
one moment follows another, does old
age creep on, and the cheerful and hap
py, or wretched and miserable mind is
the faithful account of the stewardship
of life.

A PIucky Temperance Man.

Twenty years ago a young man went
to Washington with petition to Con-
gress from the people of old Massachu.
setts. While in that city he was in
vited to dine with the celebrated John
Quincy Adams. a.."r#.~.E
Many great men sat at the table.
The young man had been poor, and
was then onlya mechanic in moderate
circumstances. During dinner, Mr..
Adams said to him ~ Oh
"Will you drink glass of wine with
me, sir 7" '.Ha 5dH
The young man was a Temperance
man. But the eyes Of many greater
than himself were upon him. They
were all wine drinkers, and it was NO
small matter to decline such a request
from his venerable host. No wonder
the young man was embarrassed, that
he blushed and hesitated. 1t was q
critical moment for him, But he was
true man. He had real manhood,
and he stammered;
"Sir, l never take wine" ~
NObly said, young man! Massachu-
setts heard that answer, and understood
it. She saw in Henry Wilson a man
who could be trusted, and she made
him one of her senator's. To-day, al
for several years past, he has beer
known as Senator Wilson God bless
him! May my readers follow his ex-
ample, and however and by whOmso-
ever tempted stick to your principles
