JEFFERSON VILE, Ind, March l5.-Fifty
crusaders were out to-day followed by large
crowd, but their movements were attended
with less excitement than heretofore. A
number of saloons were visited, but no sigma
lures were obtained. 1t is thought the
saloonists will apply for an INDUCTION on Mon
day to prevent an obstruction Of the streets.

The temperance Crusade.

The meetings which are being held under
the auspices of the Woman's Temperance
Praying Band appear to be steady increasing
in interest and enthusiasm. In Philadelphia
the fair apostles of temperance, we observe
by the Enquirer, have employed more un-
obstrusivc and legitimate means to combat
this great social evil than their sisters in the
West, yet their efforts are marked with
scarcely less success. Every day brings to
their notice a number of cases in which
wonderful reformations have been effected
through their persuasion and prayers
On Saturday afternoon meetings were held
in St. Paul's NJ. E. Church, Catharine street
below Seventh, and in Lady Washington
Hall, Germantown avenue, below Berks St
A very successful and stirring meeting wa!
also held at the Sailors Home. at Front anC
Union streets. The audience was composed
of old and battered tars, who had withstooc
the effects of many fierce and tempestuou'
voyages, but who were fast losing their man
hood and strength through the excessive ust
Of rum.
After hearty and earnest address by Mrs
Dr. French, she called upon those present tt
sign the pledge. In response many of th'
sailors walked to the platform and traced
some almost illegible characters upon the
pledge book, thereby declaring that the!
would never again touch, taste, nor handl
Intoxicating drinks.

DAYTON, March l5.-The crusaders con-
tinue active work, but cannot induce any
saloon keeper to give up business. The
League has resolved to adopt the detective
system, and will soon attempt to establish
guards near each bar room to record the
names of customers.
This will be quite as annoying as the
prayers Mrs Thomas, chief crusader, ha'
been held to bail for obstructing the streets
and will be tried on Wednesday. Father
Gaety, Catholic priest, declaimed bitterly
against the crusaders to-day.

was not in session at the time. Several moro

VIII the Temperance Crusade reach our
borough? This question has already become
the subject of much discussion by our temper
ance advocates and, from present indications
our citizens would not be surprised if Strouds-
burg should be included in its onward march
Already the tidal wave has reached
Ashley, Luzerne county, and the Scranton
Sunday Free Press tells US with what result:
Indeed Ashley has already felt the effects
of the praying band We are told that they
have regularly organized temperance league
with Presidentess, Vice Presidentess and other
necessary officers. They began work several
days ago, and during that time have visited
most of the saloons in Ashley and held pray
er meetings during the afternoons and even
ings. The principal places visited were
Widow Keiser's, Lynch's, Conrads and
Tabler's. When they called at Mrs. keiser' S
they found that lady out and the house barred
against their entrance. They were informed
that Mrs K. had gone to the city to buy a
new stock Of liquors. Mr.. Lynch was at home
but could not understand the nature of their
visit to his domicile. He mistook the cru
saders for party of jolly women, who not
being satisfied with home and home duties,
| had come to his place Tor spree; leaving
their husbands at home in the enjoyment of
cold supper, or else bothering their brains
how they could meet the dress and millinery
bills that were due, and satisfy the servant
girls who were clamorous for their "back
pay" In reply to their request for room,
he replied: Certainly you are welcome.
! What shall | send you in to drink p The
ladies explained to him that they had come
to hold a prayer meeting, but as he had never
heard what prayer meeting was or what it
was like, he remained as ignorant as ever OF
their intent, thinking in his blissful ignorance
that prayer meeting meant some new kind of
drink He said that he hadn drop in the
bar, but if they would go to Conrad S" they
might get some there The ladies, however,
we're not to be blufed off, and the meeting
was opened and continued for considerable
time Conrad's saloon was the scene of the
next meeting Conrad is German. In
his reception of the crusaders and in inter
preting the meaning of their call he became,
like Lynch, guilty of an innocent little blum
der, and mistook them for a serenading party
who had come to honor him with an even
ing concert. He received them kindly, of
course, and when the meeting was closed,
and they were about to depart, he begged
them to stay and 'sing ga.st cine Hcllle song
more.

CINCINNATI, March IA comparison
of the returns of internal revenue collections
in IL of the largest liquor districts in Indiana
and Ohio for the months Of January and
February gives some idea of the effect of the
women's temperance movement upon the
liquor traffic The following figures show
the decrease in the amount and monthly col
lections from all sources, and it is estimated
by revenue officials that so per cent of the
collections are derived from alcohol and malt
liquors:

OLD LOVE KEKISDLED-A WASHINGTON hos

member Of Congress from Michigan, with Mrs.
s;blrv. widow Of Major Sibley, United States
Army She was Miss Humphries Of the Supreme
conrt NJ The State Of Ohio, and tEenty-seyen
vears AGO was afianced to Mr.. Conger, then a
handsome. blooming youth. They quarreled
and parted. In six months the quarrel was
FORGOTTEN. and they were again engaged. Miss
Humphries was pretty, q belle, and a firt. Her
a;rti5g propensities did not please Mr.. COnger,
and he demonstrated with her. Being a high
spirited piri, she again and finally broke the
en- xarement, telling him she would never marry
him. He left the State. She married and he
married. Major 1Sibley lived twelve years.
There were no children, and at his death she
went abroad. Mrs. Conger lived a few years,
and lefs three children. In October, weary Of
European life, Mrs. Sibiey determined to return
10 her home in Cincinnati. Arriving in New
York il occurred 10 her 10 come TO Washington

were prosy and tedious. So, gathering her wraps
about her, she prepared tosleaVe the galleiy,
when there was a tap on her shoulder. Turn

youth! After commonplace greetings, in an
agitated voice, she made the inquiry, "I sup

not know that my wife. was dead" With
tragic start she averred she did not. They
ehatted some time, and on leaving she said, :"

then in q low voice replied Conger, 81 will come

five years ago. 81 will" she answered, and
she wilted. The engagement was very brief,
and the happy twain were united, last Saturday,
morning at II o'clock. fhe bride wore a pearl

AFREoUENT TROUBLE WITH KEnosENE LAMPS.
The light often is unsatisfactory while all is ap-
parently in good order. 1t should be borne in
mind that, though the wick is but very gradu-
ally burned, it is constantly becoming less able
to conduct the oil. During several weeks some
quarts of oil are slowly filtered through the wick
which steps every particle Of dust or other mat
ter that will with the utmost care be in the best
kinds of oil. The result is that the wick, though
it is Of sufficient length aad looks us good as
ever, has its conducting power greatly impaired.
as its pores, 90 to speak. or the minute channels
by which the oil reaches the place to be burned,
become gradually INSTRUCTED. 1t is often econ
omy to substitute a new wick for an old one,
even If that DO plenty long enough 70 serve for
some time to come.

How 10 ourrr HoRsEs.-According to a dis
eOsery made by Prof. Shift Of FlOrence-a dis
cosery which has been pushed beyond him by
MANY others-it was found that IL was quite
enough to touch the n~cstrils Of a horse, simply
passing the finger along the sides Of the nose, to
stop the activity Of the heart and respiration,
and stop consciousness in a measure. lie did
not End. but Ieft another to find 1t, that inter
change between tissues and blood is also stopped.
1t is well known now that most of those men
who succeed in quieting violent horses put their
fingers to that part, and sometimes inside the
mares. Merely touching these parts may pro-
duce some effect; pressing hard upon them has
far more effect. 1t is not essential that the APP
plication be made there, as a pressure Of the
lip may produce the same thing In some ami
mails, rabbits and guines-pigs, il we pass needles
into their chest and heart, 50 as TO judge OF re-
SEPARATION and circulation, we find that the need
les stop altogether as we press The lips or part
of the check. II lie not that the poor creature
is frightened, and when we have deprived them
partly Of their consciousness, or almost altogeth-
er, by the use of chloroform, the same phenom-
ena occur. There is a very curious fact men,
toned by Catlin, who travelled in the West, and
wrore two volumes on the Indians. He states
that the calves of the buffalo. if they are caught,
and the air from the lungs Of q mar is strongly
breathed into their ~nostrils, will become fascin-
ated by that peculiar influence that they will
run after the horse of the hunter, and follow him
FIVE or elk miles. 1t is said, and Mr.. Catlin af-
firms it. that in Texas, or in other parts Of the
country where there are wild horses taken by
the lasso, If the hunter succeeds in taking hold
Of their ~nostrils, and then forcibly expels air
from his lungs into the nostrils of the horse, he
will follow him anywhere and become perfectly
tame. These facts deserve to be studied. l
have heard that when Mr.. Rarey acted 50 pow
erfully on very violent horses, both in this
country and in Europe, he had something to do
with their n~ostrils also. What heidi however,
he kept in a great measure secret. That part
of the system, at any rate, has q great deal to
do in diminishing the activity of the principal
organs. II is very natural, therefore, that such
q power should be acquired by one Who has done
such a thing to m animal as intelligent as the
horse.

"CoME, Boys,' must be the motto Of the
farmer who employs much labor. lie must be
with his men. But, unless he is a remarkably
vigorous and healthy man, he ought not to try
to do as much work as his men and superintend
his farm besides. Work occasionally, and put
new vigor into the men: Show them how to do
the work to the best advantage. Plan, direct,
be quick to see the weak spot and prompt to
lend a helping hand. Steady work, like plow-
ing. will almostdo itself. 1t is the odd jobs
that require brains, You must do the thinking.
A good boy will often do as much work as q
man. But you must know how to treat him in
order to make him useful. Give him the best
tools, the best pillow, the steadicst team, and the
newest harness. If he breaks anything, do not
scold, but help him to repair damages and en-
courage him to do better. Above all, do not let
the men impose on him. If you breakfast early,
q growing boy that is ut work in the field should
have q lunch at half-past 8,or 10 o'clock. No
one can work long without eating, especially a
growing boy.
