wide discussion Of the best means of pro.

ment has reused all over the land ought to
result in wise, deliberate and thorough
legislation upon the subject, which is per
haps the most serious. as it is certainly the
most perplexing which concerns the public
welfare to-day.
Some experiments which have been made
in Europe are not without suggestions of
benefit at home. One of these has spe-
cial interest just now as being the work of
woman. Ten years ago Mrs. Heins
Smith, of Leeds, troubled ut the enormous
drunkenness OF working England, set her
self to establish q club house which should
be pleasant enough to supersede the low
beer houses of the town, and should yet
sell no liquor. 1t was opened under the
auspices neither of church nor of q total

he could get food, or rest, or the reading Of
newspaper, or coffee and tea, or an
amusement Of some sort, at the lowest pos
sible price. Nothing was wanting but liquor,
and that he hardly missed. one would sup
pose. since now twenty of these clubhOuses
flourish in Leeds, while their copies have
sprung up all over the kingdom. This in

gambling is allowed. Tea, coffee, cocoa,

The charge for the use of the excellent
library and reading room is 81 50 year, or
three cents q week. Occasional concerts
are given, to which the wives and friends of
members are invited. In short "The Brit
ish Workman" offers to his many name
sakes in the flesh the social recreation and
mental improvement which they need, with
out the temptation of drink. And his
namesakes seem eager to accept this re-
restricted hospitality, for the clubs are
already self.supporting as well as multiply

The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher has been
lecturing on the Bible before the Yale DR.
vinity School. The modern tendency Of
scientific and literary men to regard science
as the hope of the world and the work Of
the Bible as about done was, he thought,
all wrong. His ideas upon the subject arc
embodied in his own inimitable words:

canvassing the county, and never a word

because it was generally conceded that

for Grants re election. still it gave 81

But. AS if to leave no doubt upon the
public mind as to what was the
true animus of the Convention, Senator

OUR neighbor, the hteltigeacer, yester-
day morning, paid a well meritcd tribute
TO the intelligence and sagacity Of our
Congressional standard bearer, Col. Ben
WILSON. 1t says, in effect, that Col.
WILSON can, ,cithoW trouble, convince
the people on any subject he desires. If
he can thus successfully discuss any ques-
ton which he has determined in his own
mind to be right, with what ease will he
be enabled to prove the correctness of his
position on the palpable issues before the
public to-day, and what little chance
there must be in discussion, for his op-
ponent.
But it is unkind, to say the least, to our
colored voters, that the Mteitfgencer
should treat them so discourtcously as to
connect in such an intimate manner,
negro women with she wolves.

Radical rulers Of these unhappy

sailor whose boat WAS wrecked, while be

the air, by mad whales tiukeS. AS
he came down. after half an hour had
clapscd. the whale awaited him with
opcn mouth. and instead of sinking rs
deep into the sea rs he had been in the
air. he slidcSmoOthly into the whales
interior. As soon as he recovered his
breath he drew out his tobacco box and
helped himsclfto liberal "quid' which
he rolled over and over in his mouth us
he laughed at his adventure. Presently
he arose from the soft but moist couch on
which lie had fallen, and surveyed the
apartment which contaied many wonders,
YOU NAV he sure. Some writing on one
Of the walls attracted his attention, and
on examination it proved to be the words,
"Jonah, b. G. S62.' This amused him
SO much that the "guid' fell out of his
mouth, and the whale at once began to
writhe and show violent dislike to
nicotine. \ happy idea occurred to him.
and he cut his plug of tobacco into small
pieces. which he distributed over the
floor. The whale then heaved more
violently than before, and while Jack
was holding his sides at the joke, he was
thrown into the water and almost on
board one of the ships boats.
Some of his comrades doubted his
wondcrous story. but, for the benefit of
unbclicvcrs. he had brought back with
him pocket knitc with buckhorn

1t is really refreshing 70 see man
there who Is actually more willing 10
sacrifice his political chances, than be u
party to a falsehood; but it is dangerous
for Mr.. JONES. By denying what his
Radical brethren have said, he places
himself in the position of traitor to his

he has been defeated for Office, and that
less conscientious, but more consistent
