states: "Although / blindly gave
alcohol as medicine for more than
twenty years, l never knew it to cure
q single disease, nor did ever know
of any other medical practicinrer
curing disease by it,"
r. r. Mussey, NJ D., Of Cincinnati
says: "As practitioner of the lead
ing art, of thirty years standing, 1
have discouraged altogether the use
of intoxicating drinks in the sick
chamber; and l verify believe my
success has been greater since have
adopted that course than it was be
fore"
We name but few authorities.
There are many more of the same
kind. Two thousand of the Oldest
physicians in Europe and many in
the United States, discard the use of
alcohol as medicine.
Hhen we see men in order to ex.
cite an unreasoning nerve, sacrifice
health, intellect, honor, happiness,
and heaven, we have mingled feeling
of surprise and censure, and are
ashamed to own that humanity is so
weak. Our very consciousness is
shocked to see men sell or seek strong
drink, thirsty tigers crouch and lurk
for blood. Oh, the accursed liquor
traffic 1t not only kills the body
amid utter want and deepest shame,
but
1t weaves the wInding-sneet of souls. and
lays
Them in the arms of ev erlastlng DEATH"
Men who make or sell alcoholic
drinks excuse themselves from wrong
because their sales are authorized oy
human law, under licence of q liquor
dealer or druggists, and upon per
scriptions from physicians. Ii they
are ready to risk righteousness on
such authority, let them carefully
lay away the license and physicians s
orders, until deaths pale shadow
dims the visiol. and his icy touch
chills the frame; then take those pa
pers between the cold and clammy
fingers, and hold them up before the
Judgment Bar of God, and by them
plead justification for selling liquor
what has made men swagger and
swear, and fight under spell of In
toxication; that has sent poverty and
shame, and untold misery to their
families; and see if that which has
justified tn em before God. Oh, We
Ii lnor dealers. We druggits! ye
physicians! We who tamper with this
poison, and trife with human life
and happiness, take care. take cale,
lest the Great Judge instead of say
ing to you "well done good rnd faith
full servant" shall say "depart from
me We workers of iniquityr' If no
drunkard shall enter heavens king
d)m, tell me, if We can, where shall
the drunkard makers go?

HORACE GREELEY made a speech
in New York, on the 5th inst, in
which he said:
AS to the administration of Cen
Grant. l recognize no one as Re
publican who is not grateful for its
judicious, energetic, and successful
efforts to procure the ratification of
the 18th Amendment. that keystone
of our political arch, whereby the
fruits of our great triumph over re
bellion and slavery are assured and
peruetuated That the President has
made some mistakes in appointments
is obvious-it would be strange, in
deed, if ore so inexperienced in the
conduct of political affairs had Who'll
ly escaped them. Whatever blame
may justly attach to this falls right
fully on-us who took him from the
head of the army and made him our
civil Chief Magistrate, fully aware
that he had never voted a Republi-
can ticket, if, indeed, he had voted
at all. While asserting the right of
every Republican to his untrammeled
choice of candidate for next Pres
ident until a nomination is made,
venture to suggest that General
Grant will be far better qualified for
that momentous trust in 1872 than
he was in 1868.

Tweed as a Philanthropist.

Mr.. William M. Tweed, notorious
as the recent leader of the infamous
Tammany ring which has feeced the
taxpayers of New York city out of
millions of dollars, has, it is announ
ced with a flourish of trumpets, con
tributed fifty thousand dollars for
the relief Of the poor of his ward.
This benefaction, which Tweed's re-
tainers make so much of, reminds
us of the death bed contribution of
some old miser, who tries to buy his
way into Heaven by offering pur
ton Of his ill-gotten gains for relig-
iousHpurposes. Ten years ago MIR.
Tweed was bankrupt. 1t is natu-
raj to enquire how he happens now
to be able to contribute fifty thou
sand dollars to the poor And the
answer to the ques ton is so obvious
that we hardly need to put it in
words. Mr. IWeed has been at the
head of the Iammany ring for sac
uears. IL that time he has swindled
the tax payers of New York city out
of forty times the amount which he
has now subscribed for single
ward. 1t is not his own money with
which he is so lavish, but money
which he has practically stolen from
the people of New York. Nor has
he the poor virtue of the repentent
miser on his death bed, to which we
have compared him He does not
even repent, and this offering is not
meant as sign of contrition, bot
simply as a means for affording Mr.
Tweed further opportunities to steal
and swindle. Tweed is already State
Senator from New York city, and in
that capacity has had ample oppor-
tunity for money making. He means
to continue in that lucrative position,
and this donation is one of the means
to that end. Observe how cleverly
he limits it 10 his immediate constit-
uents! Only those who can vote
for Mr.. Tweed are the recipients of
his bounty.-Clevsland Leader.

A CHASTITY Scene at a Grave.

From the Pittsburg Paper. December 2l
The interment on Monday after
noon of the remains of Captain Charl.
ton. of the Wilton Hose, of East
Birmingham-who met his death on
Saturday evening oflast week, while
in the discharge OF his duty at a fire
in South Pittsburg-was attended, by
a most unfortunate occurrence. calcu-
lated to shock the nerves OF the most
callous- hearted. The weather was
very inclement, it having rained and
showed during the greater part of the
afternoon, and the firemen and others
who walked in the procession to the
burial grounds, in Lower st. Clair
Township, were thoroughly drench-
ed and much wearied.
The preparations for burial were
somewhat hurried, perhaps imperfect
and when all was in readiness for
lowering the coffin, it was raised in
the usual manner tor removal of the
cross-pieces upon which it rested
over the grave. AS this was done.

Progress of the Wa L

The bombardment of the outer
line of Forts comprising the fortifi
cations of Paris has been commenc
ed by the Germans. This marks an
other stage in the progress of the
great Continental war, and indicates,
let US hope, the approach to its end.
This exterior series of Forts were
erected to protect the city itself from
the shells of the enemy. They have
thus far prevented the German bat
teries from being placed in positions
where Paris would be brought with
in range of the best siege guns. The
reduction of these outer Forts would
seem all that would be necessary to
to bring about the surrender OF the
invested city. The demolition of
those on the south side, which have
been attacked, or on any side, would
enable the Germans to advance their
lines in sufficiently far to bring Paris
under their guns. This would amount
to about the same as carrying the
place by assault. We cannot believe
it possible that the in habitants of
Paris will permit the city's destruc-
ton. But whether the Forts which
the Germans have so vigorously at
tao ked are carried or not, the bonn
bardment of them and consequent
destruction of life, will add greatly
to the suffering and distress of the
besieged and hasten the work which
famine. disease and destitution are
slowly but surely carrying forward
to one inevitable end. The efforts
of the French 10 raise the siege of
Paris by attacks upon the rear of
the besieging forces have been aban
doned. Their only hope now lies
in sorties from within. How slen-
der this hope is, we may learn from
the want of success which has at
tended all former efforts to break
through the German lines.
With the surrender of the French
Capital the war will probably end.
As Paris is France, the utter futility
of continuing the struggle will be
made manifest to the French people.
At last a Frenchman is found who
has the courage to tell his country
men unwelcome truths. Father Hy-
acinthe has lifted up his voice in
London and proclaimed that it is the
duty of France 20 make peace. He
tells them that territory may be lost
without honor being lost, and more
than hints that they must submit to
the einevitable and give up Alsace and
Lorraine. France, he says. was
once great and prosperous without
this territory and may be so again.
If we mistake not, the utterances OF
Father Hyacinthe will have much to
do in the way of preparing the minds
of the French people for peace
Those who talk peace may be called
traitors, but they are in point of fac
their country's best friends. To pro
long the war is to prolong theil
country's agony and render harder
and harder the conditions of the
final peace. To face facts and make
the best of them is both patriotism
and wisdom.-O. S. Journal

A GrieyOuS Wrong.

There IS the Soundest OF common
sense in the following paragraph
fro the Manufacturer and buicder ::
Why is it that there is such repug-
nance on the bart of parents to put
ting sons to trade ? A skilled me-
chanic is an inpependent man. Go
where he will, his craft will bring
him support. He need ask favors
of none. He has literally his for
tune in his own hands. Yet foolish
,parents-ambitious hat their sons
should ''rise in the world" as they
say-are more willing that they
could study for a profession, with
the chances of even moderate success
heavily against them, or run the risk
of spending their manhood in the
ignoble task of retailing dry good.
or of toiling laboriously at the ac-
countant's desk, then learn q trade
which would bring them manly
strength, health and independence
In point of fact, the method they
choose is the one least likely to
achieve the advancement aimed at
for the supply of candidates for po-
sitions as ''errand boys" dry goods
clerks, and kindred occupations. is
notoriously overstocked; while, on
the other hand, the demand for real.
ly skilled mechanics of every discrip.
ton, is as notoriously beyound the
supply. The crying need of to- day
is for skilled labor; and that father
who neglects to provide his son with
useful trade, and to see that he
thoroughly masters it, does him s
grievous wrong, and runs the risl
of helping, by so much, to increase
the stock of idle and dependent if no
vicious. members of society. 1t i:
stated in the report of the Prison AS
sociation, lately issued, that fourteen
thousand five hundred and ninety 81,
prisoners confined in the peniten
tiaries of thirty States, in 1867, sew
enty seven per cent, or over ter
thousands of the number. had neve
learned a trade. The fact conveys ,
lesson of profound interest to thos,
who have in charge the training o
boys and girls too, for the active
duties of life.

Mr.. Gilbert Hall, of Holmes TIP,
hiss suffered the severe loss of his
dwelling house and contents by fire.
1t appears that Mr.. Hall and his
lady, were spending the evening at a
neighbors house and about the time
they were preparing to go home,
some one called in and announced
that their house was entirely con-
sumed.
The cause ofthe fire is-not certain
ly known. The house was a new one,
only recently furnished and nothing
was saved but a table and few chairs.
Mr.. Hall, is fortunately insured in

way and the corpse rolled into the
trough box" face downward.
Those standing about the grave
were borrow stricken, and the wife
of deceased gave vent TO her agony
at the scene in heaIt rcnding shrieks,
and, fainting away in the arms of
friends, was at once removed to a
carriage and conveyed to her home.
As quickly as possible, but not
without considerable difficulty, the
corpse was taken out of the grave, the
shattered coffin repaired, and the
burial completed.

CAss1Us M. Clay has come out

CAss1Us M. CLAY has come out in
opposition to the denomination Of
General Grant. Among the reasons
for this opposition, Mr.. Clay made
the assertion that General Grant is
not in sympathy with the Republi-
can party" This is, in ths light of
immortal history, the most false and
ridiculous utterance on record. Is
there any man living who has done
more practical and efficient work, for
the success of our Republican prin
ciples than General Grant? No,
not one.

The Washington correspondent of
the New York Times recalls Summers
course towards Lincoln. The letter
says:
Mr.. Summers present attitude to-
ward the Administration, recalls to
the minds of many that about the
middle of Mr.. Lincoln's first term he
look equally strong ground against
that Administration. In his custo.
mary extravaganza of expression, he
was accustomed to say he could count
hundred men who were beyond

office than. Mr., Lincoln. Yet Mr.
Sumner was only too glad to aid in
the reelection of the President whoe
abilities he had thus ridiculed.
