From what we hear, there is pretty general
disposition on the part of the ladies prominent
in Washington society to discouEtenance the use
of liquors at the receptions on Monday. There
is absolutely nothing to be said in favor of dis
pensing Intoxicating drinks on that day, and
when we come to look at the matter closely there
Is something almost shocking in the idea of
wives, mothers, and sisters, holding out to Young
men the temptation to become drunkards in a
form so much more dangerous and seductive
than that presented by the ordinary grog-shop.
The great sufferers by intemperance are
women Ii is the wives and mothers who spend
the anxious midnight hours and shed the bitter
tears while their husbands and sons are abroad
wasting money and destroying health in drunken
orgies. 1t must be bitter reflection to such
wives and mothers that the taste and thirst for
drink may have been acquired from the temp
tstions of the New Years refreshment tables,
offered by themselves or by other wives and
mothers. Let the ladies take the lead in reform
ing an evil that comes home so directly to them

The controversy aroused by DIR. Darwin's
theory Of the origin Of heAuman race, particu-
larry a. to the bearing IL viii have on religious
thought, gives Importance 10 everything tend
ing to throw light on that branch Of the subject.
III the adherents Of the doctor are forced to the
same logical conclusions that he has come to on
religious matters, IL is now shown where they will
stand. He has, IL seems, written two private
letters to Mr.. +. Il. Abbott, editor of the Toledo
fnder, the organ of Free Religion" of which
rockingham and Higginson are supporters, in
which he Or. Darwin) cordially assents to
"almost every word" in the statement of princi-
pies put forth by the Free Religionists'' in that
paper. The cardinal principles of "Free Rs
hgion' are stated to be supremacy OF liberty in
all matters of government, the supremacy of
science in all matters of belief. the supremacy OF
morality in all matters of conduct, and the su
premacy of benevOlence in all social and per-
sOnal relations Ii puts the church on the level
OF all other institutions, the Bible on the level of
ali other books, the Christ on the level of all
other men, leaving them to standor tall by their
intrinsic merits or dement's" Christianity is
declared ''the worst enemy of liberty, science
and civilization" and the aim of Free Religion
Is announced to be the establishment of a uni
yersal republic, asocial and religious unity and
a universal cooperative union based on free in
dustry and free commerce.

The Macon and Augusta Road was opened

been carefully examined aud plans prepared
which will secure this important advantage at @
moderate present outlay. "
The general results OF the years. operations may
be considered satisfactory. The Increased 1fclgnt
receipts from all points prove that competition
has had as yet no serious effect upon Its business,
and the Increase OF local travel shows the policy
OF adopting lower rates to have been )udiclous.
The expenses are not above the average. while
the condition OF the property has improved.
