but have no religion. Iney are very super
stitious, and great believers in witchcraft,
and think the spirit leaves the body at death
and escapes through the mouth, and that
when man is hung, the spirit being unable
to escape, perishes with the body. They
rarely attack at night, having childish fear
of the dark, and entertain the opinion that
if killed at night their spirit will not be able
to find the happy hunting. grounds, and con-
linues forever to roam in search of them.
Travellers have avaled themselves Of this
fact in times Of hostility to make journeys
through sections which they dare not at
tempt in the day. Last summer two squaWs
on the San Carlos reservation were accused
of
wITCHCRAFT,
and the tribe was preparing to burn them,
when the commanding officer had them
placed in the guard-house for protection.
The next day being the 4th of July, the
troops were ordered to fire salute IN honor
thereof; but the education Of these Indians

THE CONCLUSION.
Summing Up the Result OF the Recent
Temperance Agitation.

The intemperate agitation IN favor
of total abstinence having eliminated,
it is possible to note some of the more
definite results.
l. Prayer as a means Of offense
proves but an indifferent weapon.
Some of the rum shops in the West
were shut up to bar out the curse dis
guised in the prayer, and to escape the
the terrorism of constant espionage, ex-
hortation and abuse. Here and there
an emotional tapster has deserted the
trade upon being provided at one and
the same time with the Deedtul religion
and funds to set up in better line of
business. But the ranks of the death
dealing fraternity have not ben sensi-
bly, diminished by this partial and ex-
pensive process of elimination.
III. Recent elections disclose the
wholesome fact that the masses of the
people are convinced that no man has
a right to analyze the contents of an
other mans stomach while the man
who owns the stomach is alive and vo-
ting. Wherever the issue is sharply
made between license and prohibition
the popular verdict will ultimately be
given for rum and liberty" The
blue laws of Connecticut stand as good
achance of final adoption throughout
these United States as any known
scheme OF total abstinence enforced by
the magistrate. Political parties have
taken notice, and will act accordingly.
Ill. The Church declines TO pros
cribe by its discipline right to which
the State lends the protection of law.
1t neither commends the cup nor
breaks it; and thus all its awful au-
thority is virtually exerted in favor of
what may be called cautious and mod
crate drinking
~. In the countries where wines
are pure, cheap and plentiful, there
seems to be no necessity for the inter-
ference of Church or State. Such
country we should make of this. Lift
the burdens from the producers of in
nocent wines and beer, enact rigid
laws against adulteratIon allow pure
wines to be sold with as much freedom
as bread and a very brief trial will
show that the royal road to temperance,
as perfect as human nature is capable
of, has been found at last.-Neio York

SUSTAINING LOCAL ENTERPRISES.

"A prophet hath honor save in his
own own country" Therefore it is
that the heart of the Memphis Appeal
is grieved. Even the liberal adyertis-
ing patronage its columns attest does
not restrain the expression of its in
dignation. We trust we may not have
like occasion to mourn over the de-
generacy of our merehantile eommu-
nifty. But hear and heed the vail of
the Appeal:
"They have an axe handle factory at
COrinth, which developes the fact that
swamp hickory is worth there seven
dollars per cord. A wiseacre once es-
tablished factory of thissort in Men,
phis, and of hubs for wagons aud bug.
gies. He could not sell his wares in
this market, having tried two or three
heavy consumers here in vain. He
then shipped cargo of 'helves" and
hubs to Cincinnati manufacturer
at Cincinnati prices. The Memphis
merchant sent an order to Cincinnati,
and our Memphis helves and hubs
came back on the same boat that took
them away. The merchant here was
delighted to pay freight both ways and
a profit to the Cincinnati man. A
soap-boiler here sells his products at
auction in Cincinnati boxes, and
gets cent per pound more than soap
costs at the factory. A Memphis corn
and -four stamps all its bags and
barrels with the word st. Louis"
and the meal is superb and the -four
faultless. If the word Memphis
were on the packages, there would
never be found buyer, and hash
house managers would be choked to
death. We are a queer people, and
are glad to have lesson IN true wis
dom in small matters by this ak handle
manufacturer at Corinth. Walnut is
more abundant and cheaper here than
elsewhere in the United States, and
yet the furniture made here Is shipped
to Cincinnati for sale, and absolutely
comes back to Memphis, and in one in
stance bureau came to the very next
door whence it started on its pleasure
excursion, three weeks before, The
Mechanics institute has been sOrely
bothered about the peculiarity of
Memphis people, and it is proposed in
that body to have Tubes constructed to
run under PorkOpOlis that we may
breathe the atmosphere of Ohio. We
devour its bacon, use its manufactures
and absorb its whisky by the ton. a nd
Memphis will never be content until it
may be pumped full of the villalnous
gas that Cincinnati exhales."
