yesterday, written from his rural home in

meekness of Moses-quite. He is even dis
posed to do more than act on the defensive,
and is ready to ''carry the war into Africa, "

sixteenth century farmhouse living

grandmother was a Hathaway, is blow

That Little Hatchet.

A good little boy ont West undertook
to come the G. Washington on his mother
in this way: He cat off the cats head
with the traditional hatchet, and then
hid the defunct feline in the meal bar
rel. When the old lady went for meal
to make the " hoe cake for the frugal
morning repast she discovered the cat,
and interviewed her little son. He
said, "I did it, mother, with my little
hatchet, but I'll be swizzled if ! can
tell the whole truth about this little af-
fair" Now most mothers would have
kissed Shat brave, truthful lad on his
noble brow and kept right on using the
meal out of that barrel just the same,
but this One didn't. She said, "Come
across my lap, my son come across my
lay" He came, and for awhile there
rose a clo1d of dust from the seat of his
trousers that effectually hid the son
from view, and the old woman now
sports goggles and is lavish in the use
of Pettit's eye alive. That good little
boy had peppered the seat of his pants.

The Temnaranca Revival.

The temperance revival has attained
to wide variety of manifestations, but
| does not apparently weaken IN genuine
earnestness and persistent purposes. It
continues to break forth in new places,
and everywhere attacks the local weak
point of the liquor interest, in manner
adapted to the character of the COM
munlty. Nothing new is reported in
New York, save general disgust at the
Harry Hill advertising dodge; and the
formation of a committee of fifteen, di-
vines and laymen, to petition the legis-
lature for certain temperance measures.
In PittsbuIg and Allegheny, Pa, the
women have obtained an order directing
the closing of saloons on Sunday, and
have been hOoted and ieered by the
mob. The notable feature at the west,
this past week, has been the visit of one
hundred women to the Chicago common
council, with petition signed by 49,
600 women against the repeal Of the
Sunday ordinance. They were attended
by crowd of idlers so great that a
large force of police had to serve as es-
cort. The council in their presence
proceeded to adopt the repeating ordin-
ance-22 to IA. They were escorted in
their retreat by the police, who with
difficulty prevented the bowling mob
from doing violence to the women, who
were all of the highest responsibility.
The demonstration was disgraceful in
the extreme. The women have attempt
ed to persuade the mayor to veto the |
new ordinance, but in vain. The battle |
continues in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan and Iowa, with occasional |
success. The Ohio constitutional con-
vention has prepared three propositions |
to be submitted to the people; one alb |
solutely prohibiting the manufacture or |
sale of intoxicating liquors one allow |
ing licenses in quantities not less than |
gallon, on such conditions as the gen
eral assembly may provide; one allow |
ing licenses in quantities less than a |
gallon, condidonally as above; the one |
accepted to be an article of the consti- |
tuition. The Cincinnati distillers admit |
that their business has decreased fully |
rs per cent, solely on account of |
the women's movement. They con-
slider it a fanaticism, which will
die out as the warm weather ap-
proaches. One of the new elements
of the warfare, in Cincinnati and Chilli
cothe, in Wiiliamsport, Pa, and Eliza
beth, n. j., and some other places, is
the bitter opposition of the German
who have held meetings.
and become so violently denunciat0ry
as to create an dignat reaction, and
an accession of strength to the women's
side. In Elizabeth an immense meet
ing has been held to express the alarm
of the respectable portion of the COM
munity at the hatred expressed at the
German meeting to the Christian Sab
bath and to call all citizens, without
distinction or party, to support the
Sunday laws. Such behavior on the
part of the iquor-sellers' friends, as
,hese people and the mob of Chicago
nave shown, does practically work in
avor of the temperance movement.

Better Than Whisky,

bill Arp" writes: Gentlemen,
there is one thing about drinking. I
almost wish every man was a reformed
drunkard. No man who has never
drank liquor knows what luxury cold
water is. I have got mp in the night,
after l had been spreein2 around, and
gone to the pump burning with thirst,
feeling as if the gallows, and the grave
and internal regions were too good for
me, and when took up tue bucket in
my hands, with my eyebrows trembling
like I had the shaking ague, and put
the water 10 my lips, it was the most
delicious draught that ever went down
my throat. I have stood there and
drank, until I could drink no more, and
gone back to bed thanking God for The
pure, innocent and cooling beverage,
and cursing myself from the inmost,
for ever touching the accursed whisky.
In my torment of mind and body, /
have made VOWS and promises and
broken. them within a day. But if you
want to know the luxury of cold water,
get drunk and keep at it until you are
o fire, and then try q bucketful at the
pump in the night. You want gourd
full-you'll feel like the bucket amt
big enough, and when you begin to
drink an earthquake couldn't stop you.
I know men who will swear to the truth
of what say but you see its thing
they don't mean to talk about it's too
humiliating."
