The greatest good Of the woman's tenn
perance movement is not in the closing OF
a multitude Of dram-shops, nor yet in the
recovery from Incorporate habits Of hun
dreds or even thousands Of men. but in the
mighty impulse it has impaired to the tenn
perance cause in every part Of the country.
Discussion has been started in every town

movement, and that discussion will not sub

BritishMode OrFighting.

Kicking is q favorite mode ofight-
ing in the northern counties of Eng
land, more particularly in Lancashire,
where, as the poorer classes wear
wooden clogs, a vigorous kick will
frequently have fatal consequences.
The most strenuous exertiOns have
been made by the authorities to stop
the vicious and eowardly habit but
the punishments awarded by the law
are not thought to be sufficiently
severe to meet the case. Flogging
is now proposed as the only remedy,
and Parliament is to be petitioned
for an act to empower magistrates to
award this punishment. A police
magistrate at Oldham, Lancashire,
says on this subject: THE practice
of violently assaulting parties in the
streets at night by severe kicking
has been so common of late in this yici-
nifty, that | venture toremark that in
all cases of extremely violent assaults
the law would have to be rightly en-
forced, and if it were found to be in
sufficient, additional power would
have to be sought from Parliament to
order heavier punishment My ex-
perience teaches me that the moral
feelings Of the perpetrators of these
crimes are so thoroughly barbarous
and oblivious to everything that is
kind, moral and just, their habits of
life so thoroughly degraded, their
homes such sinks of iniquity, that
simple Imprisonment is no punish
ment to them. They do not feel it
to be a degradation, and the only
way to reach their feelings is to mete
out to these rufians as much corpo-
raj punishment as they mete to their

ash has had a salutary effect upon

ers is equally vicious and dangerous,
and public opinion is strongly in
favor of its being applied as means
of punishment for crimes of this des-

Neighbor Jauber weighs about two
hundred, and has a decided objection
to being cheated. When he buys a
pound Of tea, he is careful to get good
weight. One day he went to the
wharf to get ION of coal, and be in

scales were well adjusted, upon see

times make mistakes. The team was
driven upon the platform scales, Jau-

the scale was again examined.

A Neat Revenge.

Burleigh, the New York CORE.
spondent ofthe Boston Journal writes
as follows: An amusing incident
occurred the other day on ore of the
trains from Boston to this city. The
cars were crowded. An elegantly
dressed woman occupied an entire
seat. Her bundles, band-box and
bag were piled artistically. She
was oblivious to the fact that passen-
gers were rushing back and forth to
obtain sittings. More than one gen.
tleman drew himself up in front OF
the imperious dame, and silently
pleaded for the vacant spot She
tanned herself leisurely, and evident
ly thought that things were very
comfortable as they were ais this
seat occupied, madam 2" said well
dressed gentleman, very politely.
Yes, it is - was the swapping re-
ply. The man walked on.
In half an hour the door opened
and in walked a tall, rough fellow,
coarse as a Polar baer His huge
beard was uncombed and stained
with tobacco juice. His clothes
were lily put on, and smelled OF the
stable. He was ungloved and braw-
ny, and weighed full 200 He ran
his eye along the car and caught
sight of the seat on which our lady
was sitting. He made for it. With

great deIiberation he seized t"e
bundles, bandbOx and bag, put them
plump into the lap Of the lady, and
sat down in the vacant spot like one
who intended to stay. Iflooks could
have annihilated a man, there would
have been corpse in thai car about
that time.
The man seemed very much at
home. He spit and stroked his
beard he threw his huge arms, and
chuckled inwardly at the evident rage
of the woman. She left the cars at
New Haven, and bad hardly gone be-
fore the gentleman who was refused

sIOrmOns from the Old World.

The largest company of MOrmons,
with single exception, which ever
landed in this country, disembarked
at New York from the Guion steam
ship idaho on Monday morning.
The company was made up of men,
women and children, and nearly 700
persons were in the party. They
have been brought together from all
sections of Europe, though the large
majority are from the Scandinavian
Peninsula. Many, too, are from
Wales, and England and Scotland
are each represented. There are up
ward Of $50 adults in the party, the
number Of men and women being
about equal Accompanying the new
converts to MOrminism are eight
missionaries, who have for years
been travelling through Europe and
laboring earnestly in behalf of
the cause. The chief of the mission
aries is p. G. Christensen, who is
Dane by birth. He came to Ameri-

many years ago, and afterward re-
turned to his native country and en-
tered upon his labors. He has been

the party arriving yesterday to his
own efforts For the past few years
be has had charge of the Scandina-
vian mission, and will return to the
old country at an early day. His
fellow-missionaries too are nearly all
Scandinavians, who came to this
country many years ago, embraced
the Mormon faith, became ardent
disciples of it, and returned to urge
their countrymen to lead a similar
life. The party remained in New
York Monday night, and started for
the Salt Lake region Tuesday morn
ing via the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Nearly a third of the party received
prepaid tickets for their passage from
their friends already in Utah. An
other party of Mormons will arrive
near the close of the present month,
but it will be small and will be com
posed mostly of Swiss. A large del
egation is already making prepara-
tions for the passage in the autumn.

SUNSET AFTER a SHOWER.

Over the hill-tops, folG upon fold,
Like blood-stained banners within the SKY,
Braided with crimson and fringed with gold,
In q sea of amber the spent clouds lie.
Down in the valley the lumbrous trees
Droop, heavily jewelIed with fallen rains
And a spicy-scented, tremulous breeze
In rippIes crosses the bending grain.
The winding river, Ike silver, CLEANS
Through dreamy yistas that melt ana fade,
And the sunlight, falling in slanting beams,
Strikes deep in the heart Of the forest shade.
On distant upland the lonely pine
Is tiaged with purple and bound with fire.
The stones in the ehuTehyard glance and shine
And the weather vane is gilled wire.
The tapering cedar, like spear,
Shoots out of the elf, where stands revealed
The rocky ledge; and the herd appear
Like spots Of color within the field.
And braided banners OF clouds are seen
Tofiercer burn, as with sudden shame;
While the vaic below and the hills between
Are drowned in yellow mist of flame,
And a farmers boy, all aglare with light,
Looks over the clid where the eedars grow
And shades with his hand his dazzled sight,
And calls to his comrades down below
Then the brazn woodlands echo and ring
And the earth and sky seem TO shout with him
pearly arch in the hawks fleet wing;
And The swelterng landscape seems to swiIa
On yonder hill side cottage shines
The window westward flashes and glows;
Itnestles amid its shelf ering vines
or gllstening ivy, like a rose.
And there in the porch two lovers WOO
Her slender figure his arms enfold;
While doves in the dove-cot bill and coe,
And ruffle their neclls Of green and gold.

The Treatment efsuns,rn,..-

A physician writes as follows IN
the Philadelphia Evening Star: A
business man rushes from his counting
room and devours a halfmastieated
dinner. This he washes down with a
considerable qurntity of Ice water
and, having seized his hat. be
runs to his counting-room again. He
seeks the shady side of the street
with the impression that here he is
safe from sunstroke; but he forgets
that his NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. din
ner, the excess Of water, the excess Of
muscular exertion is creating great
excitement in his blood. And al
though ne is in the shade, he might
as well be in the sun at $50, for the
effects are the same-yertigo, dizzi-
ness, cOlors before the eyes, blue, red,
green; nausea, stupOr and death 7 In
fact he has resolved q pure sunstroke,
undiluted. This is not exaggeration,
and the above instance has been
merely to illustrate the disease more
fully. Those who have never seen q
sunstrOke could not at first distin-
guish much difference between it and
apoplexy. Dissection, however, re-
veals a dissimilarity, and hence differ
ent treatments have necessarily been
adopted. Thus sunstrokes are treat
ed under the impression that there is
an excess of blood on the brain, and
this blood must be, of course, re-
moved. We employ the following
means
Elevate the head, remove the cloth
ing, expose to the cool air, and if he
has ceased breathing, or is uncou-
sciOus, induce artificial respiration.
Cold water should be among the first
remedies. Apply this frequently and
continually to the head and heart, and
place the feet in hot mustard water.
This will induce the blood from the
head; while it is beneficial to give
stimulating drinks. If water or ice
is not at hand, a cooling mixture can
be made by mixing alcohol, borax
and eamphOr together, and applying
it directly to the head or breast.
When the symptoms abate he should
be removed to a cool, cheerful room,
where, having discharged all indiges-
tible substances from the stomach, he
has some hopes of becoming better.
Dyspetic persons should never ven
ture too much in the sun, and
il is exhibiting much temerity
for persons of plethoric habit o
body to be engaged much on the wa
ter. Rich living, heavy food, es
peeially meat and indigestible food
generally, should be esehewed in
warm weather. The head should be
confined in light hat, with green;
the hair should be kept cut, the body
kept clean; the pores open; but, at the
same time, excessive persPiratiOn
should be prevented, as it induces ex-
haustion, and it generally happens
that sunstrokes are received when the
body is exhausted. Flannel should
be worn about the body, for the rea-
son that it serves to repress the per-
spirstion from coming to the surface
too rapidly; but when it is required
to prevent excessive perspiration the
following bath may be used with
advantage: About a quart OF a pint
of rock salt should be placed in
about seven or eight gallons Of water;
little alum should be added, and
the body should then be bathed
thoroughly.
