ADDRESS OF JEFFERSON DAVIS.

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. lS.-Hon. Jefferson
Davis addressed the Southern Historical Con-
vention, IN session at Montgomery White Sui
phur Springs, to-day. He was introduced bv
Gov Leicher, and received great applause
He returned thanks for this hearty welcome to
Virginia, where he felt always welcome, and
whose brave men were only exceled in their
deeds by the bravery and devotion Of the wo-
men, whose zeal and heroism throughout the
war he highly praised.
He spoke of the Historical Society, and said
that 10 write a true history it must be done by
Southern men who knew the facts, and that
all the material must be gathered for the pur.
pose South, that the action Of the South in the
war and the causes which brought it on might
be fairly laid before mankind. He spoke Of
"Old Jubal' Early as one who was ever faith
ful throughout the war and as being the proper
man to carry out this great object.
He said, ave have been more cheated
than conquered by the declarations of the
Federal President, Congress and General Gov
eminent, for there never could have been a
surrender had we anticipated what followed,
and we could to-day have been frec." He
still had hopes of the South, he observed, be-
cause whatever the men might be, he never
yet had seen reconstructed woman, and
while the men ofthe day were mghtier tha n
the principles for which they had struggled,
he yet hoped the children who succeeded
them would grow up to maintain and perpet-
uaie them and all that we had lost
Mr.. Davis's remarks contained no senti-
ments of hostility to the Federal Government,
but evinced an earnest devotion to constitu-
tional liberty. for which the South had s,rug.
gled. He was listened to with deep interest
and frequently applauded.

THE CURSE OF DRINK.

The appetite for strong drink in man has
spoiled the life of more women-ruined more
shopes for them, scattered more sorrow, shame
land hardship-than any other evil that lives
Srhe country numbers ten-nay hundreds of
Ihousands-of women whoare widows to-day,
and sit in hopeless weeds, because their hus-
bands have been slain bv strong drink There
are hundreds of thousands of homes scattered
over the land in which women live lives of
tortue, going through all the changes of suffer
ing that lie between the extremes of fear and
dispair, because those whom they love, love
wine better than they do the women they have
sworn to love.
There are women by thousands who dread
to hear at the door the step that once thrilled
them with pleasure, because that step has
,earned TO real under the influence of the Sc
Siucive poison. There are women groaning
with pain, while we write these words, from
bruises and brutaties inflicted by husbands
made mad by drink. There can be no exag-
rra,ion in any statement in regard to this mat
TER, because no human immaginaton can Gre
ste anything worse than the truth, and no pen
Is capable ofportraying the truth.
The sorrows and horrors Of a wife with a
drunken husband are as near the realization
,,fhell as can be reached in this world a, least
1he shame, the Indignation, the sorrow and
sense of disgrace for herself and children. the
pover,y, and not unfrequen,ly the beggary-
rhe fear and the fact Of violence, the linger.
ing, lifelong struggle and despair of countless
women with drunken husbands, are enough
TO make all women curse wine, and engage
rnilediy to oppose it everywhere as the worst
enemy Of their sex.

? above the floor. A lake of cold air
covered the floor. undisturbed by any
currents OF ventilation. In one room
in North Lansing the difference in
I the temperature at the floor level and
that three or four feet above the floor
was Il degrees in the Fifth Ward
school house the difference in one
room was 13 degrees, aud in the other
10 degrees. The laws of hygiene re-
quires the head to be kept cool and
the feet warm. This result can be
secured in these school rooms only by
the scholar standing on his head
The humiliating confession must be
made that in the construction of our
school rooms the subject of ventila-
ton has either been overlooked, or
else we have resorted to petty expert
ments; not worthy the name. Now
that the rooms are built, their ventila-
ton is difficult if not necessarily i'm
perfect. In the construction of a
school room, as earnest attention
should be given to securing adequate
ventilation as to securing the proper
amount of light. The one is as i'm
poriant as the other.
We understand that DIR. Kedzie in
tends to visit large number ofschools
in our State, and give them the same
careful examination that ne has be-
stow d upon the schools of our city.
We are sure that school officers and
all interested in schools Will afford
him every facility to forward this
work.
