ut the time of her death. FIJI 1858 she re-
moved with her parents to ST. Joseph.
and resided here np.to the time of her
marriage. Reared With tender care, un-
der the guardianship of parents whose aim
was to fit her to a,torn any social circle,
she became universal ,tavorite in this
city, and it was with regret that even
her departure to another home was wit
messed. How mnsh more profound will
be that regret to learn that she has de-
parted to that eternal home off beyond the
sun, and moon AMI stars

in this sad hour. Death has visited their
household repeatedly in the past five years

May1Ower Tea-Pots.

The Hartford Current casts no little
discredit upon the authenticity not only
of the numerous tea pots that are said
to have cone over in the Mayflower IN
1920, but of relics in general. 1t
speaks of at least half dozen tea
pots in good preservation, the pedi-
gree of which is regarded by the for
tunate possessors as satisfactory, and
intimates that there may be about a
hundred more than there are cherished
as heirlooms in the families of the de
cendants of the Pilgrims. But the
Current proceeds very remorselessly
to demolish the title to these valuable
relics of the Mayffowef by the follow
ing historical statements:
Holmes in his American Annals
states, on the authority OF President
Stilet, that tea began to be used in New
England about 1920; but this is a few
possibly ten-years too late. We

Prices of Cattle, Dogs, and Men.

AS human life becomes cheapened
the price of animals is going up. Men,
women and children are falling by the
hand of violence; railroad officials are
slaughtering travellers by tens and
scores, hundreds are sunk in the
depths of the sea through sheer care
lessness or the want of suitable pro-
lection on the part of ship owners and
shipI masters and when those who are
responsible for this wholesale slaugh-
ter are brought into our courts
the utmost that can be recovered for
the destruction of human life is So
900. This is a small sum compared
with what fast horse will bring in the
market, or what may be recovered
when he is killed through the negli
gence of a railroad conductor or
switchman; or with the price of a
| first-rate COW. Last fall the first Ouch
ess of Oneida not real Duchess but
only a cow sold at auction for $40,
900, and although the purchase was
repudiated, she was sold again to an
American purchaser for only $4,000
less. But even this sinks in comparison
below the price of dogs in England
A London paper just received states
that at a recent dog show at Birming
ham ''the first prize was carried off by
DIR. Stone, Of Coleraine, Derry, with
Dash, aged two years and six months
The dog is described as of the purest
breed of Irish bloodred settlers, and
is valued at $4,000 Only $4,000

(about S8 SOY. We may infer from the
price how common were tea-pots in
Boston families with moderate incomes
hundred years after the May Flower
come over.
Tea was not an habitual accompae
niment o. the evening or morning:meal
before 1850. Even in London it was
unknown till about 1875, or later. In
1641, an English writer quotes a for
eign travellers statement that the.
Chinese "drank the strained lioalor,.
hot, of an herb called C5hia''-which
was the name the Portuguese had bor-
Iowed from Japan for tea. About 1860,
one Thomas Garraway opened a tea
shop in London, and in his haudbilE
advertisement he mentioned the fact
that the Chinese herb had been sold at
from f6 to f10 pound, and, zip re-
spect of its scarceness and dearness it
had only heen used as regaia in higIf
treatments and entertainments, and
presents thereof made to princes and
grandees, sill the year 1857" Old

The Baxter Liquor Law.

The Supreme Court of Indiana has
decided the Baxter Liquor Law-the
best license liquor law that State
cr any other State ever had-uncon-
stitutional. Before any liquor law
prohibiting or restraining the traffic in
intoxicating liquors can stand the test
of the courts, the courts themselves
must be renovated, and all the whisky,
beer, and everything ofthat kind com
pletely poured out of the courts. Not
drop of the devils poison must be
left in the courts to polIute them and
pervert their judgment,
The most trifing apologies are re
sorted to to make out constitutional
DISABILITIES to the enforcement of stat
utaryaenactments against the sale of
intoxio ating liquors. AS, for instance,
the Supreme Court of Indiana have de
cided the Baxter Law to be unconsti-
tutional and void, upon the following
petty and senseless pre'ext, as we fiud it
given by the correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Commercial of Saturday last.
We do not say that the decision as
given was profuse whisky mixture,
hut it certainly has a family re
sem blance to old King Alcohol.
The opinion, which is by Judge
Warden, the majority of the Court
cOncurring, holds that the section is in
contravention of Section 19 of Arti
Gle of the Constitution, which pre-
sclibes that every act shall embrace
me subject and matters properly con
n scte /, in the tie. The Courts say
that if the title of the bill were simply
an act concerning Intoxicating liquors
they can see no reason why the section
under consideration might not be with
IN the title of the bill 1t reads: .tAr
act to regulate the sale of Intoxicating
! liquors, !" DC. 1t does not come with
in that section. They say further that
| granting drunkenness is one of tn,
evils growing out of the sale of intox
icating liquors covered by the title, i
does not follow that it is properly con
uected in this case for the reason tina
the evil provided against is intoxica
ton general, without regard to tn
manRer in which the liquor is re
quiled. The section is declared un
constitutional and void, and the judg
ment of the Court below is therefor
affirmed.
A dissenting opinion is filed b
Judges Buskirk and Downey, Chic
Justice. The dissenting Judges hell
tlat the ninth section is properly Gov
cred by the title. They cite numerou
precedents from half a score of Stat
Supreme Courts in support of thei
opinion. In most of these States tn
constitutional provision is expires
that there shall be but one subject con
tanned in an act, while in Indiana, thi
pr.vision is qualified by the word
land matters properly connected there
wie5s They hold. that the subjec
only will be expressed in the title, an
on that subject they held that dru1
kenness is an evil necessarily result
ing from the sale of intoxicating lie
uors, and a section defining the o
fense and prescribing its punishmel
is properly connected by the title {

CLARKsv1LLE, Jan. I3, 1874

In accordance with notice given
at the Protestant Church in this place
on Saturday evening, to the effect
that Rev L. P. Patch, Of Circleville,
o., would deliver an address on the
subject of temperance, with view Of
inaugurating a movement similar to
that in progress in Wilmington, the
citizer of Clarksville and vicinity
met at the NJ E. Church in such num-
bers as to plainly indicate that some
thing unusual was about to take place
The meeting was called to order by
by Rev. Mr. Landon, of the Protestant
Church, who, after the singing of the
hymu, 80 for Thousand Tongues to
Sing," led the congregation in prayer.
A thrilling address was then de-
livered by Rev. Patch, in behalf of
the movement, at the conclusion of
which temporary organization was
effected Rev. Landon was elected
Chairman, and Jas. Linton Secretary
The vote in favor of the movement
was nearly unanimous. Upwards of
twenty five women signified their will
ipgness to ''enlist for the war;" and
the brethren were not backward in
pledging to the ladies their unqualified
support.
1t was moved by Rev. Patch that
all the ladies interested in the cause
should meet at 9 o'clock on Monday
morning at the NJ. E, Church, and that
the brethren meet at the same hour in
the Protestant Church for conference
and prayer. After the singing of the
Doxology, the meeting was dismissed
with the Benediction by the Rev. Mr.
Landon.
MONDAYS PROCEEDINGS.
The people convened at the church
es according to adjournment, tht
brethren to pray, while the sisters
completed their organization.
At signal given by the bell, tn
force united at the NJ E. Church
when resolutions and pledges wer
adopted which are substantially tn
same as those used at Wilmington
Short and string addresses wer
made by Rev. j. H. Middleton an
Rev. Patch. after which the "unite
band of sisters started forth upo
their mission Of love, amid the ringin
of the bell, and the earnest prayers c
the brethren. The presence of th
sisters upon the street created n
small stir among the people, and fo
few hours business was almost ell
tirely suspended.
The drug store of F. j. Garland
was first visited, and the pledge wt
signed by the proprietors. The 81
looms were then visited flour in nun
ber, three of whom are kept by f
3 males,) and although the "dealer
pledge" was not signed yet, there wf
much encouragement given to the ST
ters by those engaged in the traffi
who expressed themselves as beir
, willing to abandon their present bus
ness, providing they could obtain ho
orahle employment, and receive a su
port sufficient to keep their families.
The evening service at the M.
Church was one of intense interes
and it's influence will long be felt
! Clarksville. One hundred and nine
names were enrolled on the cabs

evening. Meetings will be held day a

complished, and all are urged to
present to aid in carrying it forwal
