The following story comes
from ireland: Two men had
a quarrel in a liquor shop.
They adjourned outside to
settle the dispute. The FIRST
man, being from Connaught,
Immediately seized a lump Of
stone and let fly at the head of
his opponent, who dipped his
head and missed the stone.
which went through an expen-
sive plate glass window, and
did much damage. A magis>
trate was called upon next
morning to determine which of
the two should pay the cost.
The evidence clearly showed
that the aim was a good one,
and that if the second man had
not dipped his head he would
have been struck. Therefore
said the magistrate, 'he must
pay damages, as tits certain
the first mai didn't intend to
injure the window, and the
window would not have been
injured if it had not been fol
the act of the second man.

Il is suggested by Mr.. Hans
cock, an old Texas, frontiers
man, that the first step to be
taken in the civilization of the
Indian is his absolute subjec>
ton to government control !;
the breaking up of tribal
organizations and the adoption
Of the Pueblo system of Mexi-
co. If this is done, it will he
easy to subject him to habits
OF industry. The restless and
roaming habits of the savages
arc INDUCED in only when
made in company with numbers
of his own tribe. When this
is broken or dispersed, the
Indian is harmless, He has
great faith in the powers Of
bis tribe, but never in his abil-
ity to execute undertakings
alone. Instead, therefore, of
having reservations, where vast
numbers Of Indians are herded
together, they should he open to
immigration and settlement,
and the savage left to work or
starve. This plan, he thinks,
would be better than the peace
policy Of the government wich
has already cost S34,581, 900,
and no good either derived
from it.-[St. Louis Republican

Oneo the principal objections to
license on the part of the self-styled
temperance men is, as they say, they
are @unwilling that the traffic in spir-
ituous liquors shall be legalized." 1t
seems to rs that this objection is cap
tious and frivolous. Is not the traffic
already lawful? What provision of
the constitution, or what section of
the law prohibits the sale of alcoholic
drinks, or makes it an offense? In
deed, has it not been decided that the
Legislature has not the constitutional
power to prohibit the sale7 tits only
forbidden that intoxicating liquors be
sold to be drunk upon the premises
where sold, and to persons in the hab-
it of getting intoxicated and to minors.
Under this law persons are required
to buy by the quantity and to carry
about in TASKS when they only want
single drink. How this can be re-
garded as being in the interest of
temperance, how it diminishes the
quantity consumed, we are at a loss to
see. Certainly it does not render the
traffic illegal. 1t is only the particu-
lar manner of selling that Is made so,
and the crusaders themselves upon al
most every occasion acknowledge it,
by declaiming that drunkenness is
alarmingly on the increase" which
might well be expected when so many
are forced to purchase by large instead
of small quantities. The right to sell
is acknowledged not only by the State
but by the United States, and no in
considerable portion of our national
revenues are derived from this source.
Voting for license will simply place
the selling by the drink to be drunk
on the premises where sold upon the
same footing that selling by the guam
tity to be imbibed elsewhere is by the
present law. We fail to see wherein
it is more criminal or immoral to sell
single drink than it is to sell pint,
quart, gallon or barrel, or how the
former method of sale causes or is
likely to promote intemperance than
the latter. And yet these pretended
champions of temperance would con-
tinue the law which authorizes or al
lows the wholesale traficI That may
be consistent, but we fail to see it.

TEACHERS ASSOCIATIONS.

and will attempt to give pen picture
of the proceedings, as we'll as offer
some comments on the nature of such
confucnces. According to previous
arrangements the association was to
have been called to order at 10 o'clock

but few present and, III an informal
and unparliamentary way, there was a
motion for adjournment entertained
before the house had been called 10
order. This motion having been car
ried by All unanimous vote (as all were
anxious to be some where else), they
adjourned to meet at 1-30 O'Clock p.
m. All were present promptly at the
hour, and after the chairman had
stated the object Of the meeting, we
became the happy recipients of few
thoughts from the prodigious brain of
A. r. Odell. His topic was, "Self-re-
lance" Whatever may be the natur-
al or acquired ability of the speaker,
he failed to display any great degree
of either. We have no reason to call
into question the veracity of. hiserap-
pology, ''that he had made no prepara-
tion." After having occupied about
q of an hour in rehearsing some
puerile thoughts TO the pleasure of
his hearers he gave place for some one
else who might wish to be seen ar

License" Yes"

The Akron Times closes a well
written article on the license question
as relating to the coming constitution
al election. with the following sensible
paragraphs:
Experience is an infallible guide,
and the experience of twenty years
proves anti-license an ally and PRO-
moter of drunkenness.
License will reduce the number of
drinking places, curtai! ihe number of
cases in our police courts, render the
dealer responsible and put the traffic
within the easy and everyday obser-
vation of our authorities. With the
comparison so strongly in it's favor,
it seems strange to us that people who
are professedly in favor of temperance
should oppose license. We expect
voters of this State to give rousing
majority for license, and shall consid-
er that temperance has gained the vic
tory.

took refuge under oak tree near the

The readers of the daily papers
continue to have surfeit of the great
Tilton-Beecher nsstiness. yet there is
little new that tends to throw any adj
ditional light on the subject. We
have published sufficient of the great
scandal to let our readers know what
it is all about and that is quite enough
for the present. Mr.. Beecher has not
yet laid his statement and proofs to
repel the charges of Tilton before the
committee, and probably will not do
so till all the testimony on the other
side is in. Several of those whom it
is claimed know all about the mat

conclusion till the question is brought
before competent court where wit
nesses will be compelled TO divulge

Correspondence.

Correspondence
On last sabbath the pulpit of the
stone church (irst presbyterian) was
occupied by the Rev. E. B. Mason of
indianapolis, formerly Of Rayenna.
His efforts were well received aud
compared favorably with the sermons
of the leading clergymen of the city,
who include some very able men. Mr..
Mason is a growing man, and if life
and health are spared him he is des-
tined to hold q very respectable posi-
ton in the front rank of the pHlpit
talent of this country.
The stone church is dressed in
mourning since the death of DR..
Goodrich the late pastor of that church,
and on the occasion alluded to the
floral decorations of the church were
beautiful almost beyond description.
The only colors used in the decora-
tions were green leaves and boughs,
and pure white flowers, interspersed
with few rich creamy white, and
rosy white flowers. At the foot of
the pulpit large vase placed on q ta-
bic supported the most beautiful for
al decoration I have ever seen. From
distant view it resembled a thick
topped evergreen about three feet in
diam eter dropping beneath weight
of snow, a nearer view disclosed a
beauty and delicacy of arrangement it
were idle to attempt adequately to
describe. On q stand at the right OF
the pulpit stood smaller but very
beautiful vase of flowers. An ingen-
ious piece of floral decoration graced
the pulpit, the entire top outer edge of
which was also dressed with green
leaves and boughs interspersed with
punches of pure white flowers. Di-
rectly above the head Of the preacher
was suspended q star Of the same ma
teriaIs. The whole was arranged in
delicate and faultlessIy skillful man.
ner which those of your readers who
admire flowers will better imagine
than can describe.
Our people are led to believe that
the large lake barber, so desirable to
the interest of this point is to be one
of the acquisitions Of the near future.
and that probably the first appropria-
tion for its erection may be made
next winter.
At the last council meeting the
board of improvements was ordered
by a vote of the council to close con-
tract with the lowest bidders for the
erection of the the long talked of via
duct bridge, so the work on that i'm
portaRt structure may be expected to
commence with ne farther delay.
The races last week were said to be
success. Gilmore's Military Band
was present, and nothing of the kind
can excel the quality of their music.
Horse-racing, however, seems to be
one Of the extravagant nuisances of
the times, and is costly luxury, if
luxury it can be called. The plain
truth about it is, that the races carry
with them from city to city great
army of gamblers and prostitutes, and
that while the races hold possession
of the city, it is transformed into a
hotbed of the vilest gambling, robbery
and crime. 1t would be well if the
race course could be banIshed from
this country forever 1t is the deadly
enemy to industry, economy, honesty,
and virtue. 1t holds out its allure-
ments to all ages and classes, and may
be considered one of the formidable
and menacing evils of the times.

A WASHINGTON correspondent of
the New York Sun, makes the follow

"His coaehmaH, footman, barber,
and all the male employees about the
White House not provided for in the
Congressional appropriations for the
Executive Mansion, are borne on the
rolls of the Adjutant Generals Office
as enlisted men, and are paid from
the appropriations for the support of
the army.

Washington as they are incontroVert-
ible; yet there is not member of
Congress on either side who has the
courage to call attention to them, or
introduce bill to remedy the eVil.V
