Let Us Consider.

Since the introduction of distilled
spirits, in the sixteenth century, they
have been habitually prescribed as
remedies. We know that alcohol, in
all its forms, is pernicious to health.
Knowing these things, and that under
the system Of treatment which includes
their use, the mortality among the sick
is, ana ever has been, enormous, is IL
not worth while to try the effect of q
remedy which combines in their high

THE METHODIST MISSION TO MEX
From the New Orleans Times.


The annual conference OF the two divis-
ions of the Methodist Church assembled in
Baton Rouge last week Bishop Merrill,
of the Methodist Episcopal Church, pre-
sided over the one, and Bishop keener over
the other. Both conferences have adjourn
ed.
Within a few days Bishop Matthew Sim
son, of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
arrived here from Philadelphia, or his way
TO Mexico, VIA Havana. He leaves this
morning on the steamship Frankfort. He
is accompanied by his wife and Mr.. George
McCreary. Of Philadelphia.
Bishop Keener. of the Methodist Church
South, also leaves for Mexico at the same
time. and the two distinguished divines
travel together. 1t is understood that they
are going out to inspect the mission work
of their respective churches. They will
remain seven months in Mexico.
Bishops Simpson aid Keener, reSpec-
tive!y of tie Methodist Episcopal Church,
and the Methodist Church, South, who
leave this morning for Mexico on the
steamship Frankfort, via Havana, diScov-
cred, at a late hour, that it would
be necessary for them TO have pass
ports. Bishop Simpson telegraphed to
WASHINGTON, DuI vas uildDAC ~
get the necessary documents in Fime.
The Mexican Consul and the Spanish
Consul, however, informed the distin-
guished ecclesiastics that if they would
obtain certificates of citizenship from Gov.
kellogg, they, the respective consuls, would
wise the same, and the commander of the
Frankfort consented TO take them thereon.
The two bishops, therefore, called upon
Gov. kellogg yesterday morning. in CON-
pany. and he issued such certificates, un-
der the great seal Of the State. These

Gladstone Before the People.
LONDON, Jan. 2S.-The mass meeting
on the Black Heath to-day was not so large
as expected, on account of a heavy fog and
drilling rain. Gladstone, however. was
on the ground at the appointed time and
delivered an address. He admitted that
Parliament had been dissolved because the
Government felt that their power was
ebbing. He sharply attacked Disraeli for
seeking to divert the attention of the peo-
pie from domestic to foreign politics. The
real issue before the country was finance.
The measures now proposed by the Gov
eminent were eminently practicable. They
wanted to reduce and reform taxation
and abolish the income tax, -intending to
relieve the consumer by means of the ex-
listing surplus. The adjustment of taxation
and economy in administration in the rev.
enues, We're dwelt upon by the speaker
at great length. The necessity for an
practiced, was unfavOrable to the COnser-
vative reaction. In conclusion Gladstone
proposed, as the watchwOrd for party, Glib
eral Union" If the Liberals were not
united they would suffer a disgraceful de
feat. If discussions occurred. he would re-
fuse to continue TO lead the party.
Gladstone spoke for one hour, and at the
close received vote OF confidence. Only
5000 persons were present.
a Parliamentary election in Greenwich
will be held the Sd of February.
Bright will appear before his constitu-
en's at Birmingham on Saturday next, and
give his views on the situation.
The address Of Bright to his constituents
is published. 1t is brief and possesses no
special features, and agrees fully in the
policy announced by Gladstone.

WOMEN OF BURDFN.

sit is remarkable says 4 writer on Ger
man life in the Boston Globe, ''what great
burdens German women carry on their
heads. One may meet them constantly
with great tubs and kettles Of water on
their heads. Many of them carry loads of
vegetables to market in great white wooden
tubs, wearing little round plated mat
next the head. One sees the strangest
loads, too, poised in mid-air, Vege-
tables of all kinds and cheese
are carried by them. Suddenly a
woman comes along with an immense pile
of tagg0ts tied in bundles, some for burn
ing and some are sanliDss, for bruoms and
baskets. Another one comes bearing great
baskets of turf for kiudling fires; and often
do We see ON these WCmen's heads loads of
kindling wood. The German peasant wo-
man occupies position little better than a
slave, performing the most mental services
for mere pittance. Any night around
the fountains and water-tgnks may be seen
crowds Of these Young women with great
tubs and half barrels almost in size. wait
ing in turn TO carry water for their use the
next morning.
These persons sboul q have a word spoken
in their behalf. Tor they have a weary life,
and their position is a pitiable one. They
are expected to black boots, carry burdens,
do any and all kinds of drIIdeery, and arc
paid a mere nothing for their work. depend
ing great deal on Tripkgsld collected for
doing odd iObs and orTanGs Of all kiu,iS.
In many German houses they are
given monthly a little extra sum.
They are expected to do anything and
everything that in orr country fhe men
servants do. Coming from the oHsa host
