A Veteran Newspaper Man.

A New York correspondent writing to
his journal in the West, makes the fol-
lowing notice of we'll known gentle
man of that city, who, for the last
twenty-five years, has done business
with the press of the country
rs. M. Pettengill, the well-known
advertising agent, and the head of
houses bearing his name in New York,
Boston and Philadelphia, is the veteran
in the business. While he has laid up
treasures here below he has fairly
earned by his untiring energy and
honesty in business every cent thereof,
and every dollar that he has made has
carried with it the respect and con-
fidence of both. .pnhlishnr er5 "avn~
tiser. To-day Mr.. Pettengill is as un-
firing and energetic in his business as
ever, meets publish, rs with the same
urbanity and kindly greeting as of yofe,
himself superintends every department
of his large offices, and does a
larger amount of advertising than any
house in the country. No publisher
that we have heard of ever had occasion
to complain of S. M. Pettengill, and it
is a pleasure to us to listen to the
kindly words uttered by the press of
the nation. We trust that he may live
for many years to wear these honors
which he does so gracefully and so
successfully"

The War on Whisky,

A new temperance movement-tha
of visiting bar rooms by band of pray
ing men and women, in imitation of
what is said to be the practice in some
Western localities-was started in Bos-
ton by some twenty gentlemen, mostly
clergyman identified with the State
Temperance Alliance. They held q
meeting at the Office of Dio Lewis.
There was a good deal of discussion as
to where the initial experiment should
be tried, Boston, Chelsea, Brighton,
and other places being suggested as the
proper objective points.
1t was voted that committee of five
be appointed, headed by DIR. Lewis, to
visit Worcester and inaugurate the
movement in that city, and the follow
ing gentlemen were selected The Rev.
DIR. McKeown, the Rev. Mr.. Wilson, s.
5. Foster of Worcester, and the Rev.
Mr.. Wood of Boston.
DIR. Lewis said that while most peo-
pie called him reckless he was in reali-
ty most timid, cautious person, and he
dared not go there without he had ten
good workers in the cause with him,
and he moved that the committee be
increased to ten, which was done by
adding the following clergymen: The
Rev. Messrs, Blanchard, Ira G. Bidwell,
McCorney, Chevins, and DR.. Marshall.

ParsOn BrOWnIOW.

A letter writer speaking of Senator
Brownlow of Tennessee, says: He sits
at the extreme left of the Presidents
desk, SO as to be near the entrance.
He is a tall, dark haired man, pale even
to his lips, with no color or life to anv
part of his body, save his restless eyes,
which grow bright at rare intervals
when some ringing war-cry on one side
or the other of the chamber kindles the
fire that disease has almost smothered.
He never speaks, nor moves, nor calls
page, nor smiles, nor talks to his
neighbor. Attendants carry him to his
seat at twelve, and back to his solitary
home at five o'clock There he sits,
during the long hours, silent and ghost
like, quivering, trembling, twitching
perpetually with a terrible palsy-the
ghost of the ancient Parson Brownlow.
Such to-day is Parson Brownlow, of
Tennessee-the once puissant cam
paigner of Southern journalism. He
patiently waits the reading of the call

What Came of Casting a Shoe.

The practice which prevails at we'd
dings of throwing old shoes after the
carriage which bears away the bride and
bridegroom is, no doubt, from its an
tiquity, deserving of veneration, but il
may be carried too far, and, it is at
times not only inconvenient, but dan
gerous. At a wedding which took place
recently at bennington, England, q
serious accident occurred, and the lives
of three persons were nearly sacrificed
by the observance of the time-honored
custom. 1t seems that, as the bride and
bridegroom were taking their departure
after the wedding breakfast, q volley of
old shoes was discharged at them, with
the addition of a quantity of rice. This
evidence of kindly feeling, however
highly appreciated by the newly mar
rled couple, was, unfortunately, mis-
understood by the horse attached to the
vehicle in which they were seated, who
showed his disapproval by bolting. The
consequences were not such as can be
said to have added much to the happi-
ness of the occasion. The driver wes
thrown from his box, and the carriage
passed over him. The carriage itself
came into collision with cab, was cap
sized and smashed to pieces. The
bridegroom was pitched out of the win
dow, receiving scalp wound, and now
lies in precarious condition. The
bride was, of course, terribly shaken,
but happily escaped further injury.
The moral of which is, either hitch to
the wedding-carriage horses that won't
scare worth cent, or cast no old shoes
after the bridal party.

of Davidson county, shot his wife. He
had two trials before the criminal court
of that county. Was sentenced tn ten
years Imprisonment in the penitentiary /;
the case was appealed to the Supreme
Court, aad that tribunal sustained the
verdict. His friends then caused a
strong prayer for pardon to be drawn
up which was presented to Governor
John C. Brown. lie refused the pardon
asked, and in his written reply said :
"With a thousand experimental les>
sons of the influence of whisky upon him,
he continued at intervals to get drunk,
and the most that can be made in his
defense is, that he was intoxicated when
he killed his wife That be had what

his mind was more affected than is usual
