We last week published a dispatch
from Morrow, giving an account OF
the rejoicing there over the dissolu-
ton of the injunction obtained by
one She'd, saloon keeper, against
the ladies' of Morrow. Below we
copy the closing paragraphs ofJudge
Smiths decision, showing the ground
on which the injunction was dis
solved:
But there is another ground, which,
in my Judgment, efectually disposes
Of this motion. That is the third,
VIZ: That the allegations of the pc
tition are not true. He alleges that
he kept house where he conducted
business according to law. From
the nature of the case, the character
of this business in this respect is di-
rectly in issue, and from the proof
it is perfectly clear to my mind that
instead of this it was a place where
intoxicating liquors were habitually
sold in violation of the laws of the
State, and where gambling was con-
stantly carried on.
Such place as this our statute
expressly declares to be public
nuisance, and which being shown in
a proper case, would have to be or
dered by the Court to be shut up.
Now the doctrine is perfectly well
settled that nuisance, either public
or private, may be abated even by
force, so no breach of the peace is
Surely, then, the means
used here, with the view of abating
this nuisance, were not unlawful or
in derogation of the rights of the
plaintiff, for as the keeper of such an
establishment, the msintainer of
public nuisance, and a gambling
house, he can have no standing in a
court of equity, when he asks to be
protected in his unlawful and Grimm
al business. The injunction will be
at plaintiffs cost.

QUINCY, ILL.,, March, 1874.
Although the Temperance Crusaders have
not appeared in this ''City of Elms," the
effects Of their work elsewhere are felt by
the men who are here engaged in the whole
sale liquor trade. As passed the store of
one of this class, heard one of their ''drum-

Sensible.

There is about as much good, prac-
tical sense in the annexed paragraph,
as we find in anything that comes
under our observation, and we would
recommend it to the careful consid-
Grafton of our farmer readers:
Mr.. 7. r. Allen, Grand Master of
the Missouri Grange, says in regard
to Grange Stores: We ought to re-
member that we are farmers, and
that few of us have sufficiently mas
tered that honorable profession; and
that until we have, we had better
stick to it. There may be localities
that would justify farmers in beeom-
ing their own merchants, but 1 think
these are rare. If we will act wisely
and prudently, we can, by aid of our
organization, acting in concert and
proper concentration, procure all
our supplies cheaper by patroniz
ing those whose life business it is to
deal in them, than by any other
method. The plainest common sense
will teach any man this.

Mr.. Beecher ON the whisky
War.

MIR. Beecher remarked IN Ply
mouth prayer meeting that he be-
lieVed that constant, moderate, stead
fast action is better in any cause;
but at times whirlwinds Of senti-
ment are valuable. The women's
temperance movement is striking
instance of the latter.-The history
of therace does not show its parallel.
There no evil that cries aloud with
more voices to Heaven for suppress
sion than intemperance. While it is
peculiarly deleterious in individuals,
it is murrian and blight in. families.
1t has defed Legislation, and moral
force has not overcome it; but now,
in the Providence of God, there has
risen this cyclone: of influence. It is
one of the fruits of the woman's
rights agitation. He was first, mid
die, and last committed to the eleva-
ton of woman to equality with man,
and he lookek upon the fact of her
liberty as something certain of
coming Miss Smiley is not allowed
to preach in Presbyterian church
in Brooklyn, but it is not certain now
but that woman influence will make
itself felt there in the onslaught on
whisky in q way that will demons
trate her power The proper use of
a candle is to light room, but shall
it not shine out of the. window too?
Is woman to stand still In an ever
lasting waiting? Her first sphere is
home, undoubtedly; but when she
feels her domestic relations are
has she no right to movel
Has she no right to combine and
exert her power? Is there any other
than the rum evil that so spreads
nets for her husbands and sons
feelings.

Message Concerning the Gen.
tennial.

To the Senate and House of Representatives:
have the honor herewith to sub
NIT the report of the Centennial
Commissioners, and to add a word
in the way of recommendation.
There have now been internati onal
expositions held by the three great
powers of Europe. It seems fitting
that the one hundredth anniversary
of ourindependence shouldbe marked
by an event that will display to the
world the growth and progress ofthe
nation devoted to freedom and thepur-
suit of fame, fortune and honor by the
lowest citizen as well as the highest.
A failure in this enterprise would be
deplorable. Success can be assured
by arousing public opinion to the i'm
portance of the occasion. To secure
this end, in my judgment, congress
sional legislation is necessary to
make the exposition national and
international. The benefits to be
derived from a successful in
ternational exposition are many fold.
It will necessarily be accompanied by
expenses beyond thereceipts from the
exposition itself, but they will be COM
pensated for manifold by the COM
mingling of the people from all sec
tions of our own country, bringing
together people of different nationai-
ties, by bringing into juxtaposition
for ready examination, our own and
foreign skill and progress in manu-
factures, agricultural art, science,
and civilization. The selection of
the site fo- the exposition seems to
me appropriate from the fact that
one hundred years before the date
fixed for the exposition the Declare.
ton ofIndependence, which launched
us into the galaxy OF nations as an
Independent people, emanated from
the same spot. We have much in
our varied climate, soil, mineral pro-
ducts, and skill, of which advantage
can be taken by other nationaities to
their profit. In return, they will
bring to our shores works of their
skill, and familiarize our people
with them, to the mutual advantage of
all parties.
Let us make complete success Of
our Centennial Exposition or suppress
it in its infancy, and acknowledge our
inability to give it an international
character, to which our seH-esteem

The "KETTLE-DRUM." The lastnew
folly in fashionable society is the
''Kettle-Drum," which is thus de-
seribed:
"a lady invites her friends to her
house from A to 6 p. m Tea is made
by the hostess in the parlor, and
each lady takes cup thereof to the
gentleman whom she prefers. If he
says, Sugar, please she remains
with him-if not, she leaves him.
She can only offer tea to one gentle
man. Now it will happen that some
one gentleman will have no tea of
fered him.-The hostess provides
kettle-drum in a corner of the parlor,
and this luckless weight must so to
that drum and beat it, not loudly,
throughout the entertainment, or un-
til later unfortunate relieves him.
The rub-a-dub of the drum makes
Just enough noise to enable the coup
les properly mated to indulge in all
the soft talk they desire without be-
ing overheard, and the luckless drum
mer makes an excellent butt for all
the small wits present. The tea is
taken through straws, as male drink
ers in saloons take cobblers and ju-
leps. By the way, Russian tea is the
variety offered at these entertain
ments. Russian tea is the ordinary
tea, with slice of lemon in each cup.
How long this absurd thing will last
no one knows, but it is all the rage
now"

CIRCULATION OF TIE BLOOD

The circulation of the blood is the life of the
body, and its stoppage is death. We are healthy
when the blood circuates freely; any interruption
preventing its free course is the commencement of
disease. 'Blood is the life of the Gesh." Can we
expect 10 enjoy good health, when bad or corrupt
humors circulate with the blood, causing pain and
disease and these hnmors being deposited through
out the entire body, produce piInples, eruptions,
ulcers, indigestion, costiyeness, headache neural
gia, rhematism, and numerous other complaints
No disease can be in the body without first being
generated in the blood and disease can possibly
be in the body, if the blood is pure. 1t is of great
Importance to know what medicine will purify and
renOvate the blood, eradicate the disease, renew
vitality, mentally and physically, and instill fresh
vgor into all the vital functions of the body This
medicine is the VEGETINE, the greal blood-purifer
1t extends its influence into every part of the hu-
man organism, commencing with its foundation: ::
correcting diseased action and restoring vital DOW
ers, creating healthy formation and publication
of the blood, driving out disease, and leaving Ma
ture TO perform its allotted task.
VEGETINE is composed of Roots, Barks and
Herbs. 1t is very pleasant to take; every child
likes it. Sold by all druggists. mar26w4D&co

Worth q Dollar a Drop.

Mothers, are your little ones fretful? And is
your patience almost exhausted in vain efforts to
please them? can sympathize with you, and can
tell you what will make your little child quiet give
it good appetite and procure for hours of sweet
sound sleep.
My little girl is two and a half years old and
during that time, l have not had two consecutive
nights rest. She has been sick number of times,
and no one seemed TO know what was troubling
her. 1t was hard to hear her little fretful cry and
not know what TO do for her. l doctored her for
worms, but it did no good; and l was nearly tired
out with sleeqless nights and troublesome days
heard of the VEGETINE and determined to try
1t. II has proved blessing to me and my child. Ii
has cleansed from her stomach and bowels the
sores which kept gathering there; and now she
sleeps soundy from her bedtime until very late in
the morning, beside long nap at midday. Her
appetite is good; and in fact she is like different
child. often say, the true value of this medicine
TO me is a dollar drop Try it. Cleanse the
hnmOrs from your children's blood while they are
young. Try it, and you will join with me in calling
it great blessing. Mrs. ELLEN L. CLAPP,

Resolced, That we will not sign
any of the several pledges being cir

any circumstances whatever; that we
consider this crusade as an infringe

and taxpayers.

of the State, for years past? They

Truths from the Marietta Regis

1TubuS IOlu bAO 4AAteAAObots AeO6o
ter:
Ridicule is powerful now and then,
when rightly used. But to ridicule
heart-broken woman, engaged IN
prayer, is a mockery that cannot be
defended. Neither shall the ungod-
ly say where, when or how she shall
pray, or what for.
It is wonderful how many 'Hare on
the side of all iudicious measures to
suppress intemperance." Ask them
to define 'judicious measures, IN
which they will sine" and you have
them in q close place.
Personal rights are very dear to
great number just now, and the grog-
sellers lie close in their affections.
The rights they have ignored, and
the crime and misery they have en-
gendered, is not worthy the slightest
attention.
