unsatisfactory condition of incompleteness

THE "HABir'' OF DRUNKENNEss.-Ano old
writer, Sir Walter Raleigh, who fourished in
the sixteenth century, thus discourses in pref
ty strong English on the vice of intemperance
''Take especial care that you delight not in wine,
for there never was any man that came to
honor or preferment that loved it, for it trans
formeth a man into beast, decayeth health,
poisoneth the breath, destroyeth natural heat,
bringeth mans stomach to an artificial bur
ming, deformeth the face, rotteth the teeth, and
to conclude, maketh man contemptible soon
old, and despised of all wise and worthy men
hated in thy servants, thy self and thy COM
panions, for it is bewitching and infectious
vice and remomber my words, that it were
better for man to be subject to any vice than
to it; for all other vanities and sins are re-
covered, but drunkard will never shake of
the delight of beastliness; for the longer it
possesseth man the more he will delight in
it, and the older he groweth the more he will
be subject to it, for it duleth the spirits and

A Big P1uE.-Kentucky has able represen-
tatives in both houses of Congress-. Mr. Nc
Creery stands in the front rank in the Senate,
aud Mr.. Beck among the foremost in the House.
The latter gentleman made speech recently
on the naval appropriation bill, specimen
from which is very good reading, and shows
the quality Of the man. He said Twenty
millions ought to produce something; and we
have given that amount every year to the navy.
Let the gentleman from Maine MIR. Hael
tell his people in the next canvass that Con-
gress has given to the Navy Department over
$40, 100000 year, raised by taxation on the
products of labor, for the last four years, while
not new ship has been produced; and let him
explain what an immense sum 1000, 900 is.
A short time ago, l asked the director OF the
mint, why do you not coin silver, which you
can get at a discount for greenbacks, at the rate
of S3,000,0O0 month"; so that We can have
silver for change, instead of fractional curren-
cy? Sir replied he, do you know that mil
lion of dollars of silver weighs thirty tons, and
and that it is no easy thing to handle ninety
tons of silver in month, and make it into ten
cents, quarters and half.dollarsr Let me tell
the gentleman from Maine, what he might not
think prudent to tell his people, that during
every year for three years, we have been giving
the Navy Department $4,000, ,OOO-or, in
palmer terms, 600 tons of silver coin; so that
if you should load wagons, with a ton of silver
each, and allow twenty yards to be occupied by
each wagon, they could not drive through the
gentleman's district in single line in process
sion seven miles long Let such a procession
drive through the gentlemans district, in view
of his constituents so that they could realize
these facts, and let him tell the people that all
this went into the navy every year, and that
for such expenditures we have nothing to show
nothing but navy yards and their civil estab-
lishments, nothing but voters, nothing but rot
ten hulks-and there will be Democrat in his
place in the next Congress to certainty"

A WONDERFUL CAVE IN WESTERN NORTH
CARoL1NA-In the range Of mountains in
Western North Carolina, known as the "Fork
Range" most singular phenomenon exists.
1t is breathing cave. In the summer months
a current Of air comes from it so strongly that
a person can't walk against it, while in the
Winter the suction is just as great. The cool
air from the mountains in the Summer is felt
for miles, in direct line from the mouth of
the cave. At times most unpleasant odor is
emitted upon the current from the dead car
casses of animals sucked in and killed by the
violence. The loss of cattle and stock in that
section in Winter is accounted for in this way ::
They range too near the mouth of the cave,
and the current carries them in. At times,
when the change from inhaling to exhaling
begins, the air is filled with various hairs Of
animals, not unfrequently bones and whole
carcasses are seen miles from the place. The
air has been known to change materially in
temperature during exhalation, from quite cool
to unpleasantly hot wilhering vegetation with
in reach, and accompanied by terrible, roar
ing, gurgling sound, as a pot boiling. 1t is
unaccounted for by scientific men who have
examined it, though no exploration can take
place. 1t is feared by many that volcanic
eruption may break forth there some time.
Such things have occurred in places as little
xpected.-AsheuiWe Citizen.

Beecher on Luck and Dreams.

"Some people," said Mr.. Beecher in his last
nights sermon, 'sif they get out of bed on the
wrong side, or see the new moon over their
wrong shoulder, or put on a stocking wrong
side out, interpret it as sign of something or
other. When l was lad and went chestnut
iny, you couldn't have induced me to crawl
through the bars, because that was sign that
I wouldn't get any chestnuts. Does God sleep
on Friday? Why, if should call up all these
superstitions that cling to you, it would make
you blush. Now, don't deny that even these
superstitions are better than cold skepticism.
I had rather rub off the uneatable parts of corn
with my hands, as the disciples did, than to
have no corn to rub. But my conception is
to produce good effects. That little devil called
Luck doesn't go flying about blindly, drop
ping gold on some people and pewter on 9TH
ers." Speaking of dreams and their sgnih-
canoe, he said: "I imagine that many of the
dreams to which men attach the most impor-
tance come from over-eating or overwhelming.
do not believe either that mans dreams are
reflection of his real nature. l have broken
open more houses and stolen more money in
my dreams than [ ever expect to see awake i;
yet I believe l had rather die than steal. |
have been murderer in my Dreams and
started up trembling out of vain effort to
hide the body. My idea is that when the up
per, higher part of your brain is asleep, the
lower, baser part is half MISUNDERSTANDING
and your dreams are report from your ami
brain is asleep, and the upper part active, you
dream such dreams that when you awake you
try to go to sleep again to finish them. All
this stuff about dreams, luck, signs and omens
I claim as outgrowths Of conscience not guided
by clear perceptions"
This brought him to a discussion of phaaes
of conscience. II know men," he said, ,who
wouldn't shave on Sunday, but would black
their boots. Then 1 know some who would
shave on Sunday, but wouldn't black their
boots. And I know others who wouldn't do
either on Sunday, but would shave their neigh
bors awfully on Monday. When | went t to
school boarded with DR.. Langbein, and he
was good man, for an icicle can be good. I
could hook it down his back stairs, 60 off hunt
ing, return, and recte my lesson from slip in
my hat. Now, the bread that was left over at
the communion service in church was sent
over for DR.. Langbein's table, and, while
could deceive him as have told you, I couldn't
eat morsel Of that bread because it had been
used as a holy symbol" He considered the
precepts Of the Bible an exact and reliable
guide for conscience, although, as he said,
"There wasn't one of the patriarchs who didn't
live such life as in these days would put him
in the penitentiary."
