LESSONS.

The police reports last week were full
of cases which. without the addition Of
note or comment, preach sermons to each
household where they are such as never
can be uttered from the pulpit. One lit
tie fellow, when no child should be out
of its mothers care, makes three several
attempts to throw himself into the river,
and finally succeeds and is taken out dead,
''the proof being indisputable that the
"child, hardly more than an infant, was
drunk at the time" Another boy, aged
fourteen, dies in Brooklyn after repeated
attacks of the delirium tremens The
| organs of the body" says the report OF
the post-mortem examination, "were lit
"erally decayed from the incessant use
"of liquor" His mother was found
keeping watch over his dead body, too
drunk to comprehend what had hap
pened. Another story, with a touch OF
pathos IN its horror, comes from Phila-
delphia. A man named Womfort KEEP;
a beer saloon in the suburbs of the city.
and one night had remained with some
of his customers until morning, singing
and drinking. HIS wife, who IS repre-
| sented as a ~peaceable, gentle woman,
| of a child, came to the door as day broke
and complained of the noise, begging
her husband to send the men away;
whereupon, it is stated, Womfort, without
reply, drew out a pistol and shot her.
The woman was removed to a hospital,
where her child was born, and finding
herself dying, had her husband brought
to her from prison. bade him farewell
affectionately, and then voluntarily made
a statement of his innocence. Surely.
although the lie was spoken in the very
face Of death, no accusing spirit will be
Just enough to write it down against hei
soul.
Every man and woman can draw for
themselves the lesson from these facts
il would be idle in Us to make a sermon
of them, urging temperance and weak
ening their meaning. They are but
repettions of the same old truths; vice
and its swift judgment, and that blind
half animal, half divine love which lifts
humanity out of all its degradations.-

GRANr's5 o. S. District Attorney for
Philadelphia, Mr.. McMichael, does not
rolish the company in which he finds him
self. The Sanborn Ring is known to have
included many officials; but Mr. cMichael
thinks be could not be thus clsssed, as he
never had much 10 do with SAnborn. He
explains. however, that he was engaged
in thacellsetien of the alleged delinquent
taxes under the Sanborn contract, but
that he received his instructions directly
from Solicitor Banield. 1t further appears
that the Solicitor furnished those instrue-
lions at Sanbon's request, after Mr.. Nc
Michael had been sounded OF the subject.
This Statement of the case is sufficient
and complete to show the mix.

The House met for debate on tax bills
Mr.. Wilson of Iowa, IN the Chair, as
Speaker pro tenn, and was addressed by
Mr.. Wood.
Mr.. Beck, another member of the com
mittee on Ways and Means followed. He
criticised the purse Of the Secretary Of

that panic, and had no hesitation in aVoW-

talk about irredeemable paper currency.
The currency could not be i~rredeemable
while the government collected taxes av-

which, by taking payment Of its " du-
