A Drunkard's Warming.

A young msn entered the bar room
of village tavern, and called for 8
drink. "No," said the::landlord, "you
have too much already. You have he'd
delirium trsmens :once, and I cannot
sell you any moIe." He stepped aside
to make room for q couple of young
men who had just entered, and the
landlord waited upon them very po-
litely. The otheI had stood by silent
and when they had finished he walked
up to the landlard, and thus addressed
him: ''Six years ago, at their age, ]
stood where those young men now are;
1 was man with fair prospects. Now,
at the age of twenty-eight, 1 am a
wreck, body and mind. You led me
to drink. In this room formed the
habit that has been my ruin. Now
sell me a few glasses more, and your
work will be donel / shall soon be out
of the way; there is no hope for me-
But they can be saved; they may be
men again. Do not sell it ito them.-
Sell it to me, and let me die, and the
world will be rid of me; but for Heav-
ems sake sell no more to them!" The
landlord listened, pale and trembling.
Setting down his decanter, he exclaim-
ed. "Goc helping me, that is the last
drop will ever sell to any onew And
he kept his word.

To the Editor fthe Cincinnati Gazette:
se 1 notice a telegram in yesterdays

fies me with the Senators who have
not returned their "back pay" This Is
literally true, fer, as I have not re.
ceived it, ] have not returned it. Still,
the telegram conveys a false impress
sion. The simple truth is, that within
a few days after the passage of the SAL
ary bill, after consulting with some of
my colleas ues, and in Difference to
the general sentiment Of my constitu-
ents, determined / would not receive
the back pay, but would leave it where
it now is-in the Treasury Of the United
States. so notified the discussing Of
ficer of the Senate, and, when asked by
any one about the matter, have an
swered that would not receive it. 1
Old not, and do not now deem it neces-
sary formally to receive the money,
and then pay it back again.
TWAS not my purpose to make any
public statement of my action in this
matter, and L do SO now not from any
desire to claim any merit for what 1
have done, nor even by implication to
censure such of my associates who,
though voting against the salary bill,
yet received the pay allowed by it, but
simply to assure those who take an in
terest in the matter that have not,
and will not, receive any portion of the
81 1886 40 allowed me by the salary bill
for shack pay" Very truly yours,
JOHN SHERMAN.

A Catholic priest in Chicago, in con-

papers, as they would fill what brains
they had with nonsense.

Susan B. Anthony was indicted for
voting at Rochester, New York at the
last November election. Her case was
called on Tuesday, in the Circuit Of the
United States at Canandaigua, New
York. Judge Hunt in giving his opin-
ion in this case, among other things,
says: Fil f.',au,s .tt-
b. 1.-TWO principles apply here: 1st, ig-
norance of law excuses no one; I'd, ev.
cry person is presumed to understand
and to intend the necessary effects of
his own acts. Miss Anthony knew that
she was woman, and that the Consti-
tuition of this State prohibits her from
voting. She intended violating that
provision; intended to test it perhaps;
but certainly intended to violate it,
The necessary effect of her act was to
violate it, aud then she is presumed to
havo intended it. There was no ig-
norance of any fact, but all the facts
being known, she undertook to settle a
principle in her own person. She takes
the risk and she ought not to shrink
from the consequences"
The, Court declined to submit the case
to the jury upon any question, what
ever, and directed them to render q
verdict OF guilty against defendant.
John Selden, counsel for Miss An
thony, then requested the clerk to poll
the jury, which request was denied by
the court, and verdict of guilty was
rendered. Defendants counsel except
ed to the decree and action of the court
and insisted that upon the construction
given to the law by the decision, there
had been only a violation of State law,
and that the United States Court had
no jurisdiction.

of Bremen, an old historian of high
authority who visited the Danish
King, Svend Esthidson, and afterwards
wrote in Latin an account of the North
ern nations. He says: "There Is a
land discovered by many in this ocean
(Atlantic) which is called Wineland,
because vines which produce very good
wine grow there spontaneously; and
there grows grain in abundance, with

HIGH OLD ART IN WASH
INGCON.
POwell's Picture of Perry's
Victory.

The Washington Star says: evil
liam II Powell, the artist, has been
working some more on his picture of
the battle of Lake Erie, at the Capitol,
and has filled In about an acre of un-
finished canvass since the adjournment
of Congress. 1t was great picture
then, but is now very much more so.
Thirty or forty additional cannon have
been brought to bear upon the devoted
skiff that carries the gallant Perry to
his new flagship. These guns are pour.
ing hot shot upon the hero in the most
concentrated manner. Sixty or seven
ty new cannon balls have been painted
upon the water in the vicinity OF the
boat; and the bottom of that frail vessel
is so clustered up with them that the
men can't row with any satisfaction at
all. The boatswain has been floored
by some of the balls, and he exhibits a
good deal OF discompOsure at the
weight Of sixty-four FOUNDER on the
small of his back. Two or three of the
rowers have caught crabs in conse-
quence of the water being so full of
cannon balls; the commodore's boot
legs are jammed with spent balls, and
very large one rests directly on the
top of his uncovered head. His little
son tugs at his coat-tail, and pleads
with him to sit down out of harms
way; but this remarkable man will not
sit down, he will not bulge, and with
his head laid back upon his shoulders,
and his breast barred to the iron temp
eat, he gazes calmly in the blue en-
pyrean. The artist, it should be added,
has thrown out the chest of the hero
considerably more than it was last win
ter, so that straight line from his chin
to his waistband would cut him into
three pieces. 1t is great picture"

Iowa Republican State COnven-
bshT- eis.az ton.
Dies MONIES, June 25.-The Repub-
lican State Convention met to-day and
nominated Gov. G. c. Carpenter, by
acclamation, for reelection. Hon.
Joseph Dysert was nominated for Lieu
tenant Governor, on first ballot, re-
ceiving 400 out of 500 votes cast. Col.
Alonzo Attorney was nominated for
Superintendent of Public Instruction,
and J.aM. Beck for Supreme Judge, by
acchmation. Resolutions were adopt
ed reatfirming the principles of the
Republican party; that, not relying on
its past achievements, it must be the
party Of the present, and progress, and
as 1t has preserved the Union, freed
the slave, and protected him from the
oppression Of the slave-naster, it will
be derilict to its spirit and its duty if
it does not protect all our people from
all forms of oppression, whether by
mOnopolies, centralized capital, or
whatsoever kind of oppression there
may be; insisting upon the right and
duty of the State to control every fran
chise of whatever kind; that the in
dustria1 interests should have the best
and cheapest mode of transportation
possible, and that abuse in manage
ment, excessive rates and oppressive
Determinations by railroads, should be
corrected by law; applauding Congress
for ferreting out and exposing corrup-
tions and demanding the punishment
of unfaithful public men; that the act
of Congress involving the "back pay
steal" was fiagrantly improper and in
famous, and should secure the con-
demnation of all who were party to
it, declaring it to be "the duty of every
REPUBLICAN TO oppose the election of a
bad man and incompetent official,
whether he be a candidate on our own
or any other ticket"

The Chicago Inter Ocean has this tc
say ON the question of minority repre-
sentation:
Minority representation was foist.
ed into the Constitution of Illinois by
sharp practice on the part of Jos,
Medill. The measure was scarcely dis.
cussed at all except by Mr.. Medill, and
its submission to the people was q
piece of trickery utterly unworthy the
enlightened spirit of true statesman.
ship, and:against the instincts of fair
dealing. No tickets were printed
against the minority representation
clause. If the voter cut off the line he
did not vote against it, but lost his
vote; ifhe scratched out the word for
and put in against he did not vote
against the proposition. The only
possible way to vote against the mi
nority representation clause was to
scratch out the line. And even with
this trickery, the majority for the prop
osition was only 2S. 942, while the Con-
stitution was adopted by about $780,
600 majority. Under fair submission
there is scarcely doubt that the prop
osition would have been overwhelm-
ingly defeated.
"The arguments in favor of the new
experiment are generally utterly false
and easily proven so. For instance: it
is claimed that the power of the caucus
is destroyed by the adoption of minor
ity representation, whereas directly
the contrary is the fact. The caucus is
made supreme. The contest is trans
ferred from the polls to the nominating
conventions. How? In every district
where one party has respectable ma
jority of the voters, the stronger will
nominate two candidates, and the
weaker one; and all three are sure Of
election, because the minority plumps
on one and the majority divides its
vote equally between the two. The
election is, therefore, settled when the
respective party caucuses adjourn. The
result is, if money is spent, it is all con-
centrated in the caucus; there is no ne
cessity to nominate the best men on
the one or the other side, because the
Constitution has determined that three
candidates-two of one party and one
of the other-will surely be elected.
"The caucus argument of Mr. Medill
is as good as any of the utterly soph-
istical reasoning by which this system
has been foisted upon Illinois; it proves
too much for the system, and quite
enough for its overthrow"
