LIGHT WINES AND TEMPERANCE.-Bayar Tay-
lor, the traveller and lecturer, in late lecture in
Cincinnati charged it to the temperance reform
ers that they do not present facts as they really
are, but distort them to answer their purpose.
He thought they INJURED their own cause by so
doing, for calm and sensible people soon detected
their sophistry and refused their countenance to
a movement which presented only one side of
the question. 1t is nearly thirty years
since the idea of total abstinence was brought
into existence, and while it had agitated society
and affected the laws of States for all that time,
the proportion of habitual drunkards had been
steadily on the increase. This fact he attributed
to political interference the great reliance of ig
norant parents on the efficacy of temperance
cieties, and the attempt of those engaged in the
movement to have prohibition laws passed,
which he held was calculated to beget feeling
of stubborn opposition to the whole scheme in
| the breasts of men who considered themselves
competent to take care of their own bodies He
knew what the ravages of stroug drink were,
and be fully believed that total abstinence was
the only safeguard for man who could not con-
troll his appetite. But he had little faith in the
ability of Legislatures to regulate the evil by the
enactments of law. The results of his observa-
tions was that as the use of light beverages in
creased, drunkenness decreased. The modern
Greeks were the most temperate people he knew,
yet nearly all of them, men, women and chill
dren, drank light wines daily. He would not
say anything about the of tobacco, because
be did not consider it to be of much conse-
quence. The weed was to be sure, injurious to
some people, but he considered it harmless when
compared with pork-fat pies.
BALLoUs MONTHLY MAGAzNE.-We are in re-
cept of this cheap and handsome magazine for
December. It's table of contents is varied and
interesting embracing variety of serials,
sketches, atories, poems and attractive en-
cravings. The publishers announce for the
coming year serial story for adults by popu-
lar writer and juvenile serial for the young
people. The price of this publication places it
within the reach of everybody. A hundred
page first class magazine for fifteen cents a sim
gle copy, or 81 so per year, is certainly cheap
enough. Elliott, Thornes Talbot, publishers,

The Fourth OF July anniversary was celebrated
this year In the French capital in a very desultory
and scattering sort OF manner. For once there was
no reunion OF TIE American population to mark the
return Of great national feie day by music and
feasting, dancing ana speechiiying, as has been
often done before. IL would be useless to attempt
TO explain the causes that seemed combine TO
prevent celebration such as ought TO have been
enjoyed in city possessing a resident American
population Of not less than 5000 souls, and
floating population Of nearly that NUMBER.
No one seemed to have any anxiety 10

Years passed on. The country filled
up with settlers. The fame of David
Crockett as a hunter, story teller and
general good fellow, spread far and
wide, and he found himself elected
to the legislature. So popular was he
in the legislature that, in 1924, he was
set up as an anti-tarif candidate for
Congress, and was only beaten by two
votes in a district of seventeen coun-
ties. At the next election, he was re-
turned by the extraordinary majority
of twenty seven hundred votes.

had not differed with his old COM
mander, President jackson, on the re-

Houston, which was designed to sew

His exploits in Texas were as ro-

a fort g~arrisoned by a hundred and
forty Texans, when it was invested by
a Mexican army of two thousand.
Never was a place more valiantly de-
Tended. After ten days of conflict
and starvation, every man of the gar
rison had persisted except six, n Of

ard, who commanded the Mexican
army. This base wretch, so far from

Crockett, ordered him to be murder
