Here wanted to establish this:
First-The use of wine or strong

Second-Whateve is not wrong to

Third-The abuse of anything not

not the abolition or prohibition there

Fourth-Penal or prohibitory laws

immoral in themselves. defeat the
very end and object of all law.
Fifth-Tne abuse Of religion and

PRA1sEWoRrrrY ACT.

The Springfield Republican relates
a touching incident under the caption,
aThings that make for Peace" to this
effect. The remalns of two Union
soldiers have reposed in neglected
road side graves ever since 1864, near
Lancaster, South Carolina. Last
month they were disinterred with
reverent care by two residents of Lam
caster, survivors of the Confederate
army, and forwarded to Florence tor
burial.i the National cemetery at that
place the railway, by direction of its
President, also a Confederate officer,
transporting the remains to Florence
free of charge. The two gentlemen
who had performed this fraternal act
wrote to the United States officer of
Columbia that they had been moved
to the good deed by the strewing of
flowers upon the graves of their cem-
rades at Madison, by the members of
the Grand army, last Decoration day.
All good people, North and South,
will rejoice over such graceful acts as
these.

TERMS So
wosLAN,s ExTRAVAGANcE.

Somebody once said that the women
! of to-day are SO extravagant in dress,
| and go helpless in other respects, that
! none but the rich men can afford to
| marry. and foolish people have been
| saying the same thing or something
very like it ever since. Every time q
man fails in business. people take
mental inventory of his Wife's ward
robe, and cry out: HP0or fellow, he
was ruined by her extravaganza" No
account is taken of his club expenses,
or his unnecessary restaurant bills. or
mis- fast horses, or the vanity that
prompted him to buy larger and fin
er house than he needed. Nothing is
said of his dresscoats, made by some
Monsieur Snip, who charges extra
prices because he calls himself "artist
tailor" The man may have gambled
his money away, or lost it in reckless
speculation, for ali anybody knows to
the contrary, while his wife, believing
him to be rich, has dressed and lived
only as his circumstances warranted,
DONG it, toos only for his sake, that
he might not BE as1asEled 70 introduce
her as his wife Or ii she has been as
extravagant as he, the fault Is usually
his, so long as the fact remains that
any proper man can lovingly control
the course of any proper wife. We-
men are often extravagant. The fact
cannot be denied. But that they are
more so than men is by no means true.
AS rule, every woman wishes to
live within her husbands income, and
in nine families out of ten, all the
economizing is done by tho wife. The
constant Iteration of the charge against
women, however. has secured a kind
of passive acceptance for the theory,
aud nothing is more common now
than for young men, with salaries of
two or three thousand dollars year,
to lament their inability to marry be-
canse women are so extravagant. The
trouble is, men want to live in a more
costly style than their incomes will
allow. They hire houses they cannot
afford, and buy furniture beyond their
means, and ''pnL on style" generally
which they cannot maintain. Their
wives knowing less than they of the
purse-depth at command, accept the
husbands estimate of their ability to
live. and they dress as their lords
clearly wish them to do.

4 WONDERFUL DREAMER.

Mr.. John Alden, OF Fairhaven, Mas
sachusetts, not the John who went
| back on the valiant and choleric Miles
Standish, has wonderful dreams-hOt
singular fact, to be sure, but when
the New Bedford Standard vouches
for the story of the fulfilment of these
nocturnal visions. the affair begins to
wear slight air of mystery. The
! following are some OF the instances
published in the above named jour-
nal: Forty years ago Mr.. Alden's
| brother was on a whaling voyage, and
| the ship was lost and nothing was
heard from it for some time. But at
length Mr., Alden dreamed that by the
middle of June he would learn to
what end his brother had made. And
sure enough on the 18th Of June his
brother arrived at home safe and
sound, having been wrecked on the
Pelow Islands, where the natives
murdered some of his shipmates.
About fifteen years ago, Alden had
been moving building in New Bed
ford, and was engaged with number
of men in building up the foundation
under it, when one night he dreamed
that particular corner of the wall
fell in, though not SO suddenly but
that he was enabled to shore the build
ing up and prevent it from being cap
sized. The next day everything hap
pened just as he dreamed. A few
years latter he was employed to move
4 house &short distance, about three
miles southwest of fremont, and in a
.tream, though he ha.; never been to
hat place he saw a house so distinct
ty that when he went there to do the
job, he recognized it as soon as he
came in sight OF the place. A few
days ago he had another instance of
this wonderful dream power. He had
been to East Bridgewater and lost
knit wooden scarf or comforter in the
cars. A few nights afterward he
dreamed that the scarf had been found
by a BRAKEMAN, whom he saw so dis
tinctly in his dream that on another
trip he recognized him in the cars,
though he had not noticed him before,
This brakeman was William Neil, on
conductor Bolle's train, and ON Mr..
Alden describing the scarf TO him, he
Immediately produced it and returned
it to him.

THE WONDERS OF LONDON.

Underground, the city of London is
certainIy the most wonderful in the
world. 1t is a labyrinth of drain
pipes, water-pipes, gas-pipes, and un-
derground railways. There are points
in the soil of London where it would
be extremely difficult to find room for
another pipe. One company alone
the Gas Light and Coke Company
supplies two districts with nearly 400
miles of pipes, varying IN diameter
from three inches to four feet. These
are the main pipes only, and from
them every house and street lamp re-
ceives on an average six or eight feet
of small piping. In addition to these
and the underground telegraph, there
are no less than $500 miles of drain
pipes of various dimensions. Less
familiar to us, but no less important,
are the lead and iron tubes-leaden
pipes with outer castings of iron
along which written messages, packed
in little felt and gHtta percha eases,
are blown from station TO station. The
convenience OF these messages is inn
mense. "A steam engine forces in
blast of air, and in about minute it
travels distance of $50 yards. There
6f6 at pE0SOBt- -luIflG6u. SldltODS Ou tue
underground railway and as the peo-
pie walk upon the streets of London,
electricity is flashing messages above
their heads. and little missives are
Whizzing and darting just under their
feet. AS many as 800 messages pass
to and fro in a day. The drainage
system of London presents q world of
streets, some two or
three thousand miles in extent. All
the drains empty inte three great
sewers running parallel with the
which sewers connect in the
of Victoria Park. and
through Barking Greek discharge into
the river. Men are constantly en-
ployed keeping these drains in repair,
Londoners never pour pail of water
down drain but at the depths of that
aperture somebody is
way for it. A stranger, pro-
perIy cOstumed, can explore these
depths, which resemble vaulted gal
leries, in the sides of which are traps
forming various channels. When the
storm waters come, as they do some
times during thunder-plump, the
torrent is fearful; so much so thai
upon several occasions men have lost
their lives.

a GERMAN chemist has succeeded
ia making tirst-rate brandy out of
saw dust Alas, then, for The sue
cess of the temperance movements

.can take saw and get drunk with q
pine log? What use is there in pro-

get delirium tremeus by drinking
their office desks? Suppose the
drunken cusses to be shut out from

drunk on mangled clapboards, .dessi-
Gated window sash, and boiled saw
dust. The women will probably feel
like stuffing that German inventor
with double-distilled saw-dust until
he dies of mania a potu.-1'olea0
Democrat.
