Editors Of the 1ntelIigences:
Your present correspondent oncl
thought, as many earnest persons now do
that he understood the difficulties con,
nected with the temperance cause per.
iectly. lie thought that no had "GOd'
plan" Tor removing them. or this he icl
perfectly confident. But subsequent OK.
perience has taught him that the whole
subject Is so cnVironed with difIicultiei
that it would be very heavy tax on AM
mans modesty 10 proclaim TO the world
that he Is master OF the situation, anC
possesses sovereign remedy for sup
pressing the evils Of intemperance.
But still Il must be admitted that II !.
the duty OF every one, il he cannot dc
what he would, 10 try and do what he can
In this direction. With the view Of giving
n practical turn 10 this thought, a few
plain suggestions arc hereby offered.
1st That the temperance movement
should, as far aspossible, be kept separate
from political influences.
I'd. That all legitimate measures shopld
DO used for the purpose OF enforcing ex.
listing laws and ordinances; and II need be
10 secure the enactment OF better ones
8. That the churches should take The
matter in hand, as churches, and make Inc
suppression OF intemperAnce a part Of
their Uniform system Of operations.
II Is not proposed, az present, to discuSs
either Of these propositions, but 10 leave
your readers 10 their own reflection. Nor
Is 1t intended that they should be consid.
cred in any other light than merely az sup.
gestions, and by no means exclusive Of
other wise measures which might be
adopted.
Preaching against drunkenness and hat
'otict kdds 10 Il, Is legitimate; and it "a
much to be desired that the practice were
more uniformly and persevefingly carried
out In all our pulpitS. II preaching and
persuasion does not avail, then, as q last
resort, discipline should DO called into 70.
QUESTION That there would be serious
difficulties In tho way Is readily admitted.
but that BY patient and indomitable nerI
atstence they could at last DO overcome

A phantom PssseDger-A Chastity
Parfsian Story,

La Chausse, Paris hackman, had a
pretty wife and wanted to keep her near
him. He used to drive her around in
his hack when passengers were scarce,
and took pleasure in often looking to see
if she was there. He may not have
made much money, but it paid him in
the satisfaction of knowing that while
his wife was sitting behind him in the
carriage she had not run away. He was
sure he had her and that was as good as
fare. She must have been constitution
ally tricky-came of tricky family
perhaps At any rate poor La
Chausse's anxiety about Nine. La
Chausse was not without cause. One
day he could not find her to take drive
with him, and was plunged into deep
gloom. He was told that his favorite
passenger had run away with a lover.
This news, received from sympethizing
neighbors, maddened him. He soon
heard that his wife was in London, and
he hastened there to hunt her up. He
looked high and low-in high places
and low places-but could not find her.
She was handsome woman and he
loved her, and could have almost felt her
anywhere within a mile of him. One
day, while feeling his way through Lon
don, he heard of the assassination OF a
woman, and felt that it was his wife. DE
went to see the corpse, and sure enough
it was she-with her face battered and
crushed, and eyeballs hanging out of
their sockets, and drenched with blood.
But it was the once beautiful face OF his
wife. Three could be no doubt about
that, for he both saw and felt it. de
turned away from the sckening sight,
and went back to Paris and mounted his
coach box with as good heart as he
could He began to drive furiously-so
fast and reckless that passengers were
afraid of him. He lashed his horses,
every minute turned and looked with
terror stricken stare in the carriage. His
colleagues fthe box wanted to know what
allied him2 He asked them if they saw
no battered face and bleeding eyes in his
carriage. They did not, and he only
plunged furiously again through Paris.
He always had a passenger now; he
felt her presence, and saw that she was
there. She never got out OF his car
riage. 1t was the form of the muir
dered woman he had seen in London.
He was trying to drive away from her
now-or dash her and himself to pieces
on the stones. She was his only passen-
ger, and he came to be sure she was
always there-the rem mainder OF his vile
and love and wrongs. So one day he
did not mount his box, but took a razor
and cut the cords which bound him to
his phantom passenger He and that
ghastly shadow forever pursuing him
peopled the world alone. To him there
was no one else. He felt only her. His
death was reported AMONG a number OF
late suicides, now SO prevalent in Paris
a grim procession marching slowly with
their wounds freshly bleeding toward
the land of shadows.

From the Chicago Tribune.l
In appearance Lord Dutferin is not
particularly imposing. He is thin in
flesh, which makes him look more than
his actual hight-about five feet nine
inches; has gray hair, rather scant;
spare side.whiskers, hawks nose, and
light colored eyes. The expression of
his countenance is amiable, despite the
prominence Of his chief feature, and he
has the indescribable easy air OF a thor
oughbred aristocrat His age may be
fifty five, but he could easily pass for ten
years less. Lord Dufferin looks like a
man of action rather than of theory.
Lady Dufferin is much younger than
her husband, and is evidently woman
of great conversational powers. She
has the reputation of poetical genius,
and is said to be descended from Richard
Brinsley Sheridan, the great orator.
One Of the poems attributed to Lady
Duferin,
Pm sitting on the stile, Mary,
Where we sat side BY side,
is one of the most affecting compositions
in the English language.
The young Lord Clandeboye looks like
a vide awake boy, who will never be
spoiled by having been born with a silver
spcon in his mouth.
The English aides-de camp were rather
good looking gentlemen, and appeared
to be much interested in what they saw.

A good example of muscular Chris
tianity is recorded of Father Lynch, an
Irish priest, formerly attached to the
Roman Catholic College below Niagara
Falls, and who was afterward Bishop of
Toronto. Returning home one dark
night on horseback, Father Lynch was
accosted by footpad with bludgeon,
who ordered him TO dismount and sur
render his horse and purse. The rev.
erned father did as he was ordered, and
in so dong sprang on his assailant and
laid him fat on his back. "Are you an
Irishman2" Il am, sir" "a Catholic?"
Sure that l am" well, am Father
Lynch and shall take your punishment
out of the hands of the law" saying
which he laid his riding whip upon the
back of the astonished offender with
such vigor that the latter probably regis
tered a vow that his next assault would
be on a layman.
