THE BLAIR AND EDMUNDs DUEL
Blair and Edmunds had duel, on Fri
day evening, in which the opponents
were more evenly matched. Mr.. Ed
munds was speaking in favor OF the
amendment by which members OF the
Ku-Klux organization were to be ex-
Guided from the benefits of the amnesty
A circular had Just been read from
which it appeared those notorious rebels,
Wade, Hampton, Gen. M. 6. Butler and
Gen. Kershaw had been acting, in a
sense. as the Advisory Board of the
Ku-Klux. The overjealous Norwood,
the new Democratic Senator from
Georgia, had rushed into the breach,
and been brushed aside by Senator Ed
munds very much as he would relieve
himself of the presence OF a trouble
some fly. Blair undertook to do what
Norwood had failed in, namely, to de-
fend the Ku- KIux, without seeming to
palate any crimes imputed to them A
smarter man than Frank Blair might
fail in such task, and Edmunds knew
it; so he goaded his opponent on, cor
nered him until he had lost his temper
and undertook to get out of his dilemma
by haunting Edmunds with staying al
home while he, Blair, was fighting fol
the country. 1t was an unfortunate
taunt, for it left a crack in Blair armor
Senator Edmunds ended the dispute by
stating in the cool and exasperatina
manner that is always so effective whel
he employs it, that "there are a goo'
many people who perhaps did something
towards unfolding this government
though they did not stand in Sible,

Blair's red face grew redder, and his lip
have not since been opened on the Sen

A "bridge notice" in New Hamp-
shire says: :" No one is allowed to pass
over this bridge faster than A. Walk"
As A. Walks velocity is not stated, the
injunction becomes a puzzle.
One night, last December, Anna
Royce, an attractive young lady of Gen.
terviIie, N. Y, the daughter of respec-
table but poor man, disappeared from
her fathers house and never was heard
of again till her body reached home by
express. last week. On the night of her
disappearance a stage was stopped on the
road near there and a woman was put
on board. Further than this no clew to
the mysterious affair is known, but it i;
being investigated. The arrival of the
corpse was OF course terrible shock t.
the family. The mother was almost
crazed, and the father, bending over tn,
beautiful wreck, moaned, between hi,

TEMPERANCE PLATFORM.

The national prohibatory convention
at Columbus, Ohio, Thursday, adopted a
preamble and resolutions. The pream-
bic recites that, as all political parties
are hopelessly unwilling to adopt an ad-
equate policy on the question of prohi-
biiion, therefore this convention declares
that the traffic 10 intoxicating beverages
is dishonor to Christian civilization,
inimical to the best interests of society,
political wrong of unequaled enormity,
subversive Of the ordinary objects Of
governments, not capable of being reg
ulated or restrained by any system of
license whatever, and imperatively de.
mandiug for It's suppression effective le-
gal prohibition, both by state and ma
uonal legislation. The resolutions de-
clare that there can be no greater peri
to nation than the existing party com
petition for the liquor vote; that re-
moval from public office for mere differ
ence of opinion is wrong; that fixed and
moderate salaries should take the place
of fees and perquisites; that all means
should be taken to prevent corruption
and encourage economy; that the presi
dent and vice president should be elect.

Two presidential tickets we're formally
mt in the field last week in Ohio, one by
the labor reformers and one by the pro-
hibitory Temperance party. The labor
reformers nominated Judge David ID
Davis of Illinois, for president and Gov
Parker of New Jersey, for vice presl'
deut. Judge Davis is republican and
Gov Parker democrat. The temper
ance party included woman suffrage and
nominated James Black of Pennsylvania
for president and John Russell OF Mlchl'
gau for vice president These last names
very few people outside of theirown States
have ever heard of before, and the pres
ent prospect of the election of either o.
the tickets is not very promising.

On EvERYboDY's ToNGUE.-Eulo-
gums of the great National Regenera-
tor of Health, Plantation Bitters, are on
everyb 'dy's tongue. This gratuitous
viUa Uoce advertising is better than all
the paid for putting to which the owners
of bogus bitters are obliged TO resort
1t has spontaneous heartiness about it
which carries conviction to the mind of
the auditor But it is well-known fact
that the proprietors of the Plantation
Bitters have never relied upon newspa-
per bolstering to establish the success of
preparation which owes its astonishing
popularity mainly to the oral testimony
of the thousands who have either expe-
rienced or been the eyewitness of the i'm
mense physical good it has wrought
throughout the length and breadth Of
the land.

PIymouth-A Petition.

To the Honorable, the Senate and
House of Representatives, in Congress
assembled, we the undersigned citizens
of the United States, respectfully and
earnestly ask your honorable bodies to
preserve inviolate the great guarantees
of religious liberty now contained in the
constitution of the United States, and to
dismiss all petitions asking you to adopt
measures for amending said constitution,
by Incorporating in it recognition of
God as the source of all authority and
power in civil government, and of the
Lord Jesus Christ as the ruler among
the nations, and His revealed will as of
supreme authority" we protest against
such proIo ed amendments as an attempt
to revolution re the government of the
United States, and to overthrow the
great principles of complete religious
liberty aud the complete separation of
Church and State, on which it was es-
tablished by its original founders.
The above petition is being circulated
quite freely in this place, and | presume
it is also in other places, and some have
signed it without understanding the true
meaning or intention of the petition.
for one, cannot see how man who be
lieves the Bible, can sign a petition ask
ing congress to dismiss all petitions rec
ognizing God as the source of all author
ity and power in civil government, anC
Jesus Christ as the ruler among the ma
tions, and his revealed will as of suprem,
authority. 1t is said by those favoriu;
such petition that j. is a remonstranc'
to petition asking for an alteration il
the constitution, SO as to deprive US o
our religious liberty. Could / see it il

from what | do now.

PoTAToEs.-Four thousand dollars
bushel for potatoes is somewhat above
our market quotations, but we have seen
documentary evidence to prove that an
offer has been made at the above rates.
A gentleman in Vermont has raised a
new potato which be represents as much
earlier than any other variety. The po-
tatoes being Of fine quality, Messrs. Bliss
q Sons Of New York, bought his stock,
allowing him to retain half peck; he
entered into an agreement not to sell this
half peck of potatoes nor their produce

neighbor has offered him $500 for that
halfpeck of potatoes, and he wishes per

A Catholic clergyman in Paterson,
n. j., has invented new method OF
keeping Lent, which ought to come into
general use. He talked to his flock to
such good purpose, last Sunday evening,
that nearly 1000 of them took the total
abstinence pledge at his hands. 1t is
not often that single sermon brings
forth such immediate and abundant fruit.
If the clergy everywhere we're to copy
this good Jerseyman example, and
make an extraordinary effort between
now and Easter to rescue their people
from the whisky-sellers, they would not
only prevent an incalculable amount Of
private misery, but would bring the
whole country into their debt.
