| TEMPERANCE LECTURE.-Last evening Mr..
Thomas n. Doutney of Boston, delivered a
temperance address at the Allen Mission, to a
| large and interested audience This brilliant
| young temperance orator has won reputation
for eloquence and effectiveness wherever he has
| spoken, and the lecture last night fulfilled the
| promise of his lectures elsewhere. His COM
| mand of humof and pathos is remarkable, and
| in some respects he is surpassed by no lecturer
| now on the platform The address was in the
main an account of the personal experience of
| Mr.. Doutney, who is a reformed inebriate. The
| story of his wasted years and lost opportuni-
| ties was affecting and full of cad warning to
many young men of brilliant promise who are
running their future by the indulgence of their
appetites for strong drink
The audience were delighted and at the close
of the lecture rendered Mr.. Doatney a vote of
thanks, and invited him TO address our citizens
in some large hail. Several stepped forward
and signed the pledge, among them promi'
nent citizen of a neighboring town.

in this city has come to the conclusion that it is
all nonsense to have burglars providing over
your house while you are quietly reposing. He
speaks from experience as the burglars have
made an unsuccessful attempt to enter his

window is securely fastened down by screw
over the top of the sash. He defies the best of

Steam vs.. Horse.

On the 28th of August, 1880, some
days before the opening of the Liver
pool and Manchester railroad-Mr.
Cooper made his engine draw an open
car, with passengers, to Ellicott's Mills,
thirteen miles from Baltimore. The
return was made in fifty-seven minutes.
The engine was very small.
The stage proprietors did not take
very kindly to the revolution in travel
ing, and met the engine at the Relay
House, on its return-a gray horse, of
great beauty and power, being harness
ed to another car on the second track
for Mr.. Scharf says, "the company
had begun to make two tracks to the
mills" Then a race took place. AT
first the gallant gray had the best of it,
for his steam was up and on, while the
engine had to wait until the rotation of
the wheels set the blower to work.
Soon, when this was done, it became @
well-contested race. AS Mr.. Scharf
narrates:
"The blower whistled the steam
blew off in vapory clouds the pace in.
creased; the passengers shouted the
engine gained ON the horse soon ii
Tapped him the SILK was Piled the
race was neck-and-neck, ,nose-and-nose
then the engine passed the horse, and
a great hurrah hailed the victory. But
it was not repeated, for just at this
time, when the gray's master was about
giving up, the band driving the pulley,
which drove the blower, slipped from
the drum, the safety-valve ceased to
scream, and the engine, for want of
breath, began to wheeze and pant. In
vain Mr.. Cooper (who was his own en-
gine-man and freman) lacerated his
hands in attempting to replace the
band upon the wheel-in vain he tried
to urge the fire with light wood. The
horse gained on the machine, and pass
ed it and although the band was pres
emily replaced and steam again did its
best, the horse was too far ahead to be
overtaken, and came in the winner OF
the race"

A Labor Strike.

Mr.. Sullivan, one of the contractors
for grading the Capitol grounds of
Washington, began work, paying labor
ers 81 per day. Most of the men struck
and drove away those willing to work.
Mr.. Sullivan then offered to pay 81. 25,
the same as is being paid by coutrac-
tors on other sections of the work but
the men refused to resume work for
less than 81. SO, and the work remains
suspended. Some two or three hundred
men, mostly colored, gathered around
the grounds and posted the following
notice
1--WE had rather beg than work for
less than $1.5O per day. If others at
tempt to work for less we will fight.
This thing of swindling the laboring
men has got to stop. Wages paid in
Charleston, 50 80; Baltimore, 81 New
York, So ; Richmond, $1.75. The wages
they offer us is rs cents. Don't work
for less than 81 So. F"
The men declare that they will not
interfere with those on the two Sec
tions on which work has been COM
menced, where ST. 25 is being paid, but
after these small jobs are finished no
one will be allowed to work for less than
81. 50 per day. No serious disturbance

How He Got His Horse,

The origin of the once famous racing
horse Boston is thus described by a cor
respondent "This celebrated racer,
sire of the King of the Turf and grand
sire of more celebrities in horsehesh
than any one cares to name, was owned
in Virginia in his early days, and has
the good fortune to win the most dis

asked his owner his price. He was told
$500. We'll, said the Kentuckian,

The original name of the game of cards
Boston was, it appears, Boosting,
which was contracted into Boston.
The game was played, the money won,
and the horse purchased with the win,

of the manner in which he had acquired

New Use For Petroleum,

Mr.. Julius Hook, a Viennese engineer,
residing in London, has invented new
method of using petroleum as motive
power. His invention does away with
boiler and furnace, throwing the petro-
leum in minute quantities in the form
of spray into the cylinder of the engine
itself where it is fred or exploded, the
power thus produced being transmitted
by the piston moving in the cylinder.
Petroleum has heretofore been employ
ed for this purpose by three methods :
has been mixed with the ordinary solid
fnel in the furnace second, the hydro
carbon employed has been vaporised by
the air, forming an "air gas" which has
been conveyed to tubular boiler and
burned in pits /; and, third, the liquid
has been injected in the furnace in
sprays by steam injector.

An Ingenious Defence.

In the Police court at Chicago, few
days ago, wife thus ingeniously ex-
planned away serious charges of harsh
treatment of her poor husband: One
day, when she was running across the
room with fork in her hand, he jump
ed in the way and struck his wrist
against the fork, wrenching it from her
grlp by the prongs, which he ran into
his wrist. Then he endeavored to
strike her, but she held up pan of hot
dish-water between them, and he spill
ed it all over his head. Then he got
still more angry at this accident, and
started to jump at her, but his head
came against her hand, and he fell
down. She took hold of his hair to
raise him up, and the hair was moisten-
ed by the hot water, 30 that it came
out. Then she saw it was no use to
reason with him any longer, and she
left the house.

Winning Golden Opinions.

golden opinions than DR.. Walker, as
the enormous and widely increasing sale
of his CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BITTERs at
tests. We never look into one of our
exchanges, but there is a panegyric of
the Bitters staring us in the face. Our
readers will say that there must be a
reason for all this praise. They are

medicine is established by evidence
which it is impossible todoubt. Among
the thousands who have borne testi-
mony to its excellence, there is not one

remedy for pulmonary complaints, bill.

rheumatism and dyspepsia. 1t purges
the body of all unhealthy humors, gives
tone to the system, and where the vital
powers are enfeebled, restores theii
functions to vigorous and healthy &C.
tion. All this it does the more effectu-
ally, because its operation is not inter.
fered with by the presence of alcohol

from any such hurtful Ingredient. We
