MK. BAILEY's LEcrrRE.-Rey. Mr..
Bailey commenced his lecture by an allu-
sion to the Southern Rebellion by which
he introduced what he termed 1.-The
Rebellion Of Rum" He alluded to its
worldwide character and spicily skctchcd
1t in its lower haunts and in Its more re-
spectacle rendezvous, and showed how cx-
tremes meet. He showed that the vcnd-
ing Of liquor had its basis in the " love
of money He gave lawyers, and espec-
tally doctors, n passing notice, aud then
introduced his audience into IIcll's Kitch-
en- and graphically showed up the chcmi-
cal and mechanical processes of manu-
featuring forty rod whiskcy, taking off
various classes for working at " Belize
bulbs pumps. lie closed with Il striking
poetic legend of the sad fate ola Mahom-
etan Dcrvise for drinking wine. There
was a large audience of eager listeners who
manifested their appreciation of the speak
er's power and eloquence, in the wrapt
attention they paid to every u%tterance.
Such scathing denunciations Of crime
have seldom fallen from the lips of man.
Though clothed in the graceful language
Of poetry, they must have burned into
the very souls and conscicnces of the
offenders who heard them, if any such
there were. The Association and friends
of temperance feel very grateful to Mr..
Bailey, for this able and eloquent pro-
duction, delivered as only he could deliver
it, and that "without money and without
price"
