JOHNNY ALIENS DANCE HOUSE, AoAIS-
THE WATER STREET RLvIvALs REDIvIvUs.-
The Water street dance house prayer meet
Ing and mission movement, 1t appears, Is
about to be reinaugurated or revived, and q
circular has been issued by the friends Of the
mission asking aid and encouragement In
the furtheranco Of their work. The meet
ings at Johnny Aliens dance house COM
menced In September, 1868, and after about
n month Of success the external excitement
died out, but In the following month the
entire control OF another dance house was
secured, which has ever since been occupied
by a missionary family, and Is used as a ref
uge and place of religious devotion, two
meetings being held There daily. One hun
dred and twenty-seven women have been
received from dance houses, and twenty mine
Of them are, II Is believed, permanently re-
claimed. Twelve have been sent TO the Mag
dalen. In addition 10 this fifty abandoned
men have also been reformed. The mission
now desires to realize a., 900 to ~ up a proper
establishment, or Sl5, 900 to secure a site and
the erection of suitable building. The cur.
rent expenses they estimate at $500 per
month. Tho financial outlay up to the pres

have been contributed by friends. A large
amount of clothing donated to the mission

ment relative to recent decision OF the

to the liability Of real estate for the payment
of the United States inheritance tax:
"By letter bearing date June 81, 1860, to
r. NJ. Proud, esq, assessor, the commits

decision Of the department concerning the
liability to successive tax Of the widows

is subject to the United States inheritanc,
tax, and failure on the part Of inheritor o,

Our train on the Union Pacific railroad ran
of the track this morning near Antelope

John Dwyer, of Emmittshurg, Maryland,
were killed. The engineer, Nicholas Weeks,
of Maine, aud tSo passengers, Alexander
WagstaF, OF St. Louis, and John Steele, of
Cumberland, England, were badly injured.
The engine, baggage car, and three passen-
ger cars were smashed up. The accident
was caused by heavy rains undermining the
track. None OF our party (from Washing
track above us, from washes by the rain Of
Tuesday night, and the passenger train going
east went of the track below here from the
same cause, with one person killed, a dis
charged soldier. The rains have been very
heavy here. The remnant of our train has
been pulled down to sidney, waiting for tn,
track to be repaired. We expect TO star
again westward tomorrow.

Ventilation OF Rooms.

A subscriber, Mr.. s. w. Powell, of
Chicago, ILL.,, writes TO the Hearth and
Home as follows: "Can thorough ven-
tilation he had at small cost? With
open stoves, yes; with close stoves, no.
In the latter case, exhaustion at the
hoor level is necessary, and unless this
Is provided for when the house is built,
1t is costly, and not easy to get at any
price. But with an open stove there is
no trouble. In my room such a stove.
burning soft coal, is placed in the cor
ner, facing diagonally toward the CEN
tire of the apartment. The back is
covered with sheet-iron jacket, closed
below at the sides, but open above.
Into the bottom of this comes five-inch
pipe from the lower left hand corner of
the window. 1 took out pane of glass
filled its place with a board, through
which passes the pipe. The space be-
tween the stove and sheet-iron jacket is
thus filled with warm fresh air, and
pours it into the room. The open stove
exhausts from the lower part of the
stove where the carbonic acid lies. Win
dows and doors can be tight-the more
so the better. By a deep dish fitting
into hole at the top, I get several
quarts ofevaporation daily. The whole
cost was some five dollars, and 1 think
that amount will be saved in fuel In one
season. This plan will work anywhere,
and with nae works perfectly. The ad-
vantage of radiant over conduct heat is
very great"

The Boston Traveller says: A recent
visitor, Mr.. r. A. Arnold, describes the
present ruinous condition of Sebastapol
in vivid terms. Street after street pre-
sents the same aspect of fruined grandeur.
Roofiess houses, broken pillars, walls
pierced and torn by artillery, and heaps
of fragments meet one on every side.-
But the ruins of the magnificent gov
ernment establishments, and of the su-
perb docks, are, after all, the saddest
monuments ofthe terrible seigea and cap
ture of the city. These remain substan-
TALLY as left by the allies. The finest
barracks in the world, built of the
incest masonry, and covering a square
of nearly quarter of mile, still stand
roof1ess and torn, in hopeless ruin, as do
the fine hospital buildings, and nearly,
or quite, every other building in the
doomed city. But the destruction of the
magnificent docks, partly hewn out of
solid rock, and partly constructed of
solid masonry, and filled and regulated
in the most ingenious and perfect
manner is, after all, perhaps the very
saddest proof of the barbarous nature of
war, even among the most civilized and
cultured nations. The destruction of
these admirable works tasked the inge-
nuity Of the French and English engi-
neers; yet their destructive work was
perfect. Scarcely one stoneremains upon
another; and the very foundations in
solid rock are cracked and opened to a
great depth. Such is war, and thus en-
during are the bitter consequence of war
after some fourteen years of peace.

Mr.. MILBURN, the well-knewn blind
preacher and lecturer, before his depar-
ture for Europe consulted our distin-
guished oculist, DR.. friedrich w. Hol-
combe, who, after a careful diagnosis,
encouraged him to hope that surgical
operation would resture his sight. His
health, however, at that time was such
that he could not safely submit to an
operation, and he went to Europe in the
hope of gaining strength, and with the
intention, if that hope should be realiz-
ed, of returning to New York, and sub
mitting himself to an operation by DIR.

successful, of at least the recovery of
partial sight. he will remain in Europe
until the operation can be performed.

Am n..pon.Ibl. for Rum.s.l1,.x.

The rum traffic is annually costing the
United States mere than the entire war
for the suppression of the rebellion, in
treasure, waste and human life. Heca-
tombs of men annually die from rum
drinking. The cholera with all its hor-
rors never swept over our land with
such a deadly breath. Let US consider
the responsibility and the remedy.
That men have a right to legislate
against rum-selling we shall not argue;
for it has been done repeatedly for CEN
turies. That they have q right to sup
press it in full, is evident; for the will
of the people is law, and the people
make the laws. If great wrong exists
for great length of time in the Ameri-
can people, they are fully responsible
for that wrong. The same testimony
which fastened upon the North the sin
of American slavery, fastens upon every
voter responsibility for rum selling and
drunkenness. 81.
We are proud of our schools and of
our school system. We boast of the
rights conferred by our Constitution and
eur Government. If we have any share
in the responsibility of comforting rights
and veuchsafing privileges, then are we
also responsible for the wrongs of the
Government-for its want of protection,
its weakness and incompetency.
If the offspring of the drunkard Is
orphaned, the wife widowed, the peace
of society distured, and the cost of ad-
our Government and courts
quadrupled, then are we to blame-you
and are guilty. We are parties to the
crime resulting from rum-selling-the
the arson, the poverty,
the quarrelling, the waste of time, the
the riot and confusion of
are counts in the bill
Of Indictment against ourselves. We
stand together guilty. We are as peo-
pie, rumsellers, because the law legalizes
and protects the sale of rum as of cheese.
To adulterate cheese would be fraud;
liquor poisoned with man killing drugs,
is sold under our laws safely. The voca-
ton of the rum-seller is as safe Aat the I
hands Of the American people as that Of
the teacher, and more reputable. A
poor rum-seller is a myth. He owns
and rents blocks in every town. He
thrives beyond every other trader in the
city. He piles his industry, and his
Golfers burst with fullness. The school
IN the shadow of his lofty structures is
;aught by one who has given years to
prepare for a position, compared with
she rum-seller, menisl and unrewarding.
The gentlemanly, obiging servant OF
he people who dispenses rum, has posi-
ion. He is occasionally the direct
means of mans being druE ken, but he
spologizes-the poor creature begged 50
hard he thought he would let him have
ust one drink more. Quiet, orderly,
peaceful voter, will you kill men because
hey tease you to do so? Yes, but you
10. You allow rum-selling, you legalize
l. lr..
selling kills; and you are responsible
or it-you and every other man WELD
ng the governing power in America
he citizen ballot. Let the words, l am
guilty of rum-selling and the crimes
under the influence of rum
'elling, ring In the ears of every voter.
aa is guilty-he encourages and pro-
ects it, unless he manfally fight it,

A MOTTO FOR YOUNG LADIEs.-The

A MoTTo FOR TEMPERANCE MEM
No utilization with the rum-seller.
mo drunkard hath eternal life abid-
ing in him."
The man who deliberately drinks that
which weakens his intellect, destroys
his physical system and brutalizes his
nature, is guilty of greater crime than
he is who robs his fellow man or des-
troys the property of his neighbor. The
latter may remedy his evil by restoring
the property or recompensing for the
less inflicted, but the former can do
neither.
We pity the man who is so lost 10
every sense of justice and moral duty
that he can, for the sake of filthy gain,
sell that which destroys the moral char
acter, ruins the physical system, paraliz-
es fhe energies, and pauperizes the
household Of those who use it. The
Justice and moral sentiment of devil
are far less depraved than are his.

NOTHING LEAVES Us AS IT FOUND
Us.-If sheet of paper on which key
has been laid, be exposed for some min
utes to the sunshine, and then instan-
taneously viewed in the dark, the key
being removed, fading spectre of the
key will be visible. Let this paper be
put aside for many months, where moth
ing can disturb it, and then in darkness
be laid on plate of hot metal, the
spectre of the key will again appear.
This is equally true ofeur minds. Every
man we meet, every book we read, every
picture of landscape we see, every word
or tone we hear, leaves its image on the
brain. These traces, which under or
dinary circumstances are invisible, never
fade, but in the intense light Of cerebral
excitement, start into prominence, just
as the spectre image Of the key started
into sight on the application of heat
1t is thus with all theinfluences to which
we are subjected.
