Temperance Movement.


Since our report of last week, the
work of our ladies in the temper
ance cause has not abated a parti-
Gle. Though the success of closing
saloons is not so marked as a few
days since. yet the ladies are only
waiting and watching for available
points that attacking reward may
come an hundred fold. The follow
ing Is the work of the week, which
we regret to be compelled for want
of space TO materially curtail:
WEDNEsDAY.-The League visited
the steamer Ohio No. 4, and asked
that the bar he removed from the
boat. The officers of the boat re-
ceived them kindly, and gave them
words of encouragement. Their in
terview with the bar keeper was too
brief to be satisfactory.
SATURDAY.-In the evening the
ladies called upon some of the sa-
Ioonists and repeated their de
mands.
SUNDAY.-An interesting prayer
meeting was held at the Presbyte
rian church.
Small committees have been at
work throughout the week. The
universal testimony of the mem
bers of the League seems to be that
their hearts are undaunted and their
faith mistaken. Trusting in the
leadership of Him whose strength
is sufficient for all. they are determ
ined to push forward the great and
good work until the victory is
reached.
The Changers are end rising the
ladies in their work. See the fol-
lowing:

Mr.. CoOLEi's HAT.-When Mr.. Cooley
came into church last Sunday, he placed his
new high hat just outside the pew in the aisle.
Presently Mrs. Pitman entered, and as she
proceeded up the aisle her abounding skirts
scooped Cooley's hat and rolled it up nearly
to the pulpit. Cooley pursued his hat with
feelings of indignation, and when Mrs. Pit
man took her seat, he walked back brushing
the hat with his sleeve. A few moments lat
er, Mrs. Hopkins came into church, and as
Cooley had again placed his hat in the aisle,
Mrs. Hopkins skirts struck it and swept it
along about tweRty feet, and left it lying ON
the carpet in demoraized condition. Cooley
was singing hymn at the time, and he
didn miss it. But moment later, when he
looked over the end of the pew to see if it was
safe, he was furious to perceive that il was
gone. He skirmished up the aisle after it
again, red in the face, and nttering sentences
which were horribly out Of place in the sane
tuary. However, he put the hat down again
and determined to keep his eye on it, but just
as he had turned his head away for mo-
ment, Mrs. Smiley came in, and Cooley
looked around only in time to watch the Lat
being gathered in under Mrs. Smey's skirts
and carried away in them. He started In pur-
suit, and just as he did so the hat must have
rolled against Mrs. Smiley's ankles, for she
gave Jump and screamed right out in church.
When her husband asked her what was the
matter, she said there must be a dog under
her dress, aEd she gave her skirts a twist.
Out rolled Cooley's hat, ard Mrs. Smiley, be-
ing very near-sighted, thought it was deg,
and Immediately kicked it so sayagely that it
flew up into the gallery and lodged upon the
top of the organ. Cooley, perfectly frantic
with rage, forgot where he was, and, holding
his clenched fist under Smiley's nose, he
shreked: 'rve half mind to bust you
over the smooth Then he flung down his
hymn-book and rushed from the church. He
went home bareheaded, and the sexton
brought his humiliating hat round after din
ner. After this, Cooley intends to go to
Quaker meeting, where he can say his prayers
with his hat on his head.-Mar 1deler.
