Peach and Honey.

Old Judge Cole, of Texas, was character
lied by his attachment 10 that seductive
beverage called "peaeh and honey, and
by his hatred of whisky and whisky drink
ers. While holding n court at Austin, two
men were brought up ON a Charge of n
drunken affray. II was Il plain case; the
row had occurred in the public street, in
open day, and there were fifty witnesses to
the whole transaction. So the two delin-
quents pleaded guilty, by the advice of their
counsel, and threw themselves on the mercy
of the court. They were brought up for
sentence separately.
"You ara guilty of an affny," growled
the Judge, eng
eyes, your honor" whined the offender,
thoroughly frightened.
Drunk, 1 suppose ?" grunted the
Judge.
''Yes, your Honor" murmured the pris-
oner with some faint hope that being
drunk would mitigate the punishment.
Drunk on rye whisky, too, I'll war
rant, roared the Judge in a voice of thun-
der.
Eyes, your Honor, drunk on rye whisky. +"
''AIr, Clerk, record a fine of fifty dollars
against this man, cried the Judge, land
send him to jail for sixty days. lshall fine
the nextone who is guilty under such ag-
gravating circumstances q hundred dollars,
and send him to jail for six months.
This was poor comfort for the unfortun-
ate fellow who was waiting his turn, and
now came forward with fear and trembling.
As hepassed by his lawyer, that thoughtful
gentleman whispered in his car, "When
the Judge asks you what You got drunk on,
tell him, peach and honey. He took his
stand. r. 90
"You, too, are up for an aflray," growled
the old Judge, gnashing his teeth, ms il he
would like to bite the culprit at the bar.
Eyes, your Honor"
Drunk, too, / suppose"
Eyes, your Honor, drunk; sorry to say il
-drunk-drunk-yery drunk"
Drunk on rye whisky, too, / suppose Z
ooh, no, your Honor; l never drink
whisky-Igot drunk on peach and honey"
The Judges features relaxed in an in
slant. Leaning forward and raising his
speotacles, he contemplated the offender
with interest, and then with something like
tenderness, said;
"Ah, sir" said the Judge, blandly,
''peach and honey, Ell? that's a gentle
manly drink, sir, The Court sympathizei
with you, sir, and does not regard your Of
tense as very serious. lIE. Clerk, he con
tinued ina softening tone, center a fine o
one dollar against this gentleman and dis
charge him on paying costs" ..,.

WIEN the PLANTATION BrTrERs were first
made known 10 the American people some
seven years ago, II was supposed that they
were an entirely new thing, and had never
before been used. So far as their general
use ll the United States Is concernad, this
may be true. II Is ALSO true that the same

RECONSIDERATION O the Temple Mlschkan
Israel.

The. jewish Synagogue Of Mischkan
Israel u a granite building on Twelfth
street, between Third and Fourth avenues.
As its congregation have built the magnit-
cent Temple Emanuel, and began their
worship there yesterday, heyconsequently
relinquished their old synagogue, and il
was again dedicated yesterday by n small
congregation, which have hitherto 'wor-
shipped in II hall on the corner Of Grand
and Allen streets.
There is little that.is attractive to the eye
in Jewish ceremonies. The three mbbis in
in the present instance wore black caps and
and robes, with n Shdlis, or yellow scarf,
upon their shoulders, and were sufficiently
picturesque, but their more numerous COM
p%anions, the board of trustees, were in
plain black suits with uncomely modern
hats. These latter bore the sacred writings
in manuscript in urn-shaped vessels, be
decked with flowers. The procession en-
tered from the outside, first knocking
loudly at the door. The Canto Mt their
head said open to me the gates of the
pious2" To this the choir, with Il fine
burst replied; 'These are the gates ofthe
everlasting r. The procession then entered,
and the congregation rose, The hymn,
"How lovely are thy gates, o Lord y was
then sung, and during its continuance the
sanctuary was opened At the close of the
hymn, Rev II, WNsserman delivered a
prayer in German, The Canto, Rev. Emil
A. Half, then chanted the twenty-fourth
psalm in Hebrew, after which the laura, OF
sacred writings, We're deposited in the
sanctuary, and the congregation sat.
Then followed u sermon by the Rev. DIR.
Huebach closed by u hallelujah ofthe choir.
After the dedication, the regular Friday
sunset service began.-M Y, Times 18Th.

Draining Lakes.

In Holland there is m instance where an
area of of Az, 900 acres of water 10 dlained
US If by the magic wand ofa Prospero, was
turned into az many acres of productive
land. The HARLEM lake was forty miles in
circumference, and not only rendered use
less the land which it covered, but even
threatened TO overcome the dykes and sub
merge the surrounding country In 1910
the States General osHolland conceived the
plan of pumping the lake entirely dry by
means of immense engines, A double
dyke or canal was first formed, by which
water was pumped into higher streams,
and then by means of other engines, finally
discharged into the sea. The average
depth Of the lake below the level of the
water courses leading to the sea was about
thirteen feet, while the amount OF water to
be discharged reached more than 1000, 600
of tuns. In 1853, after four years OF con-
tinued labor, the bed was made dry, and
rendered fit for tillage and pasture land.
During the two following years more
than 40, 600 acres were sold at the average
price ofS90 per acre. 1t now has q popu-
iation OF so, 900 with hoGses and villages,
and orchards, while the bed is kept dry
by means of three m engines, at an
annual cost of about seventy-fve cents per
acre. There is a canal extending through
the bed Of the lake which drains the land
about q foot and a half below the general
level, and whenever water accumulates, thG
engines again commence operation. These
engines are under the control OF the pro-
p~rietors of the land, and a number is cho.
sen from their number, who assumes
charge of their management. One day OF
labor in the week answers the purpose o.
keeping the bed dry and the water, aftel
reaching the sea, is so much below the leve.
there, that itmust be pumped into the ocear
az from the hold of a vessel. The dykei
which line the coast are the bulwarks o
Holland. 1t was only by means OF euttn(
them that these sturdy old lovers Of liberty
under the direction ofthe Prince of Orange
were enabled TO submeTge the the entr'
country and thus assert their independence
of Spanish tyranny.

SroP IT. The Radical press are just now
circulating tho lie that Gov. Seymour, when
in Milwaukee in 1861, at the time Fort
Sumpt q was fred upon, refused, when re-
queste d, to make n speech of encouragement
10 his ENDS of the Government. In an
swert this base and untounded charge,
the Milwaukee News says:
'On turning to the files of the newspa-
pers of the city at the time specified, we
find that Gov. Seymour arrived in this city
in feeble health, but being called out ut the
NewhOll House by gathering ofDcmocrats
and Republicans, he made II brief eXhortn-
ton to his visitors to support the flag of
the country expressing his qualification at
Witnessing the enthusiasm displayed ON the
present occasion There are probably a
hundred responsible witnesses who talked
with Governor Seymour privately on or
about the same time, every one of whom
will testify that his private conversation
was in full accord with his public speech.
II is furthermore recorded in the Milwaukee
newspapers of the ensuing morning that
when called out he was greeted with un-
bounded applause aud that the words
spoken by him We're received with
cheers by the crowd in the street.
Notwithstanding the exposure of this
falsehood, we have no doubt it will travel
the round of the Radical press, aud be
echoed by every Radical stumper, WtnoHd
Democrat.

WHEN General Roseerans' army was afllic-
ted with scnryy, an appeal was made to the
Governors ofthe Northern States for fresh
vegetables. All of'them except Governor
Seymour responded by referring the sub
Commissions. Governor Seymour sent one
hundred and fifty barrels of potatoes and
fifty barrels of onions raised ON his own
farm. The account from .hich we con-
dense this statement says they We're the
only vegetables received before the army

THEY DO. Here and throughout the
South the Radicals committed themselves
to the advocacy Of pauper suffrage. The
act relating to suffrage in Washington and
the Southern States made every male-bom
or natnralized citizen a voter, no matter
whether fed by the hand of private charity
or out of Freedmens Bureau nations, or q
the public almshouse. They allow the
thriftless vagabond and lazy pauper the
anne political power that is given to the

hundreds ofcolored men We're already draw
ing their nations from the Freedman's Blu
reau. This year il expended but SIS, 900,
though it accompanied that with the pro-
vision, that as far ns practicable il should
be worked out. $40, 900 were thus appro-
priatcd to maintain the negro voting popula
ton, through which it was sought to take
our city government out of the hands of
Washington. Let the voters throughout
the country remember this fact that $40, 600
taken out of their pockets by taxes was do
voted by Congress to the maintenance OF

THE GREEK AND RoAnsH CHURCHES. -Pri-
yate letters from authentic source in Rome
state that the bishops of the Greek, Arme-
nian and HISTORIAN Churches are to be in
vited to attend the Gcumenieal Council, and
to take part in the discussions, but not in
the voting. The reason for this is that the
Catholic Church has always recognized the
orders of these Churches TO be valid. al
though they are in schism. On the other
hand, there never wa any question of
inviting the Anglican prelates 10 attend
the Council, because the orders Of that
communion have always been deemed
invalid, and both bishops and clergy looked
upon as a mere layman. II is supposed
that the Government of Russia will do its
utmost to prevent the bishops of the en-
pife from attending the Council, for in that
country Erastianism, pure and simple, il
the order Of the, day. The bishops OF
Greece proper will also very probably be
prevented by Russian intrigue from attend
ing; but from all parts of Turkey, Bulgaria,
Asia Minor Palestine and Syria a great
number of Greek p~relates will proceed 70

The BUTLER TrS THoUsASp. Speaking
of the appropriation of 40, 900 by Congress-
for Impeachment that disguceful record
in American history the National Intelli-
gencer says it was 'ten thousand dollars
thrown away TO vent the malcyolent spite
Of Benjamin +. Butler, James NJ. Ashley,
and men of that stripe. Ten thousand
dollars OF the peoples money %squnndered
in the effort 10 depose q President for no

ion from the majority of his accusers !
The judgement Of the American people has
pronounced against the partisan malice
which sought to strike down Il President
for the exercise Of his constitutional power
in the selection ofhis confidential advisers.
Let that same people not forget that freak
of a Radical Congress not only required n
direct outlay OF ten thousand dollars but
consumed weeks that ought TO have been

bly, about the public debt statements, 1t
is q wonder that the radical congregational
power has not had them suppressed
altogether. As it is, their attempts to
argue against facts and figures are long

been to convince the public that the debt
has been diminished by one-fourth. 1t is
not necessary to 90 through n column to

only necessary to compare the largest

Instead Of being oue-fourth reduction,
this is not even Ii tenth Of the debt as it

But, having made this statement, it is
also well to refer 10 the fact that this sur
plus was disposed of in about twelve
