DIR. Cuyler's Reply to the Argument OF
DR.. Howard Crosby on Moderate Drink
ing.
DR.. Cuyler preached to a large audience last night
in Lafayette avenue church. He took for his text
Pauls First EDistle to the Thessalonians, xii,
8, "Abstain from all appearance OF evil" He said
these are inspired words but Paul was not In
spired to write In English, but in Greek. The late
Dean Afford, who was probably one OF the greatest
OF Greek scholars says that the word appearance
is mistranslation, and that the word IN Greek
signifies form, manner, shape, and that the text
should read 'Abstain from every form of evil"
There are some things that are to be Judged or by

grand temperance mass meetlngwas held lasS
evening at the Central Methodist church Four
teenth street and Seventh avenue. The SudiencS
was for the most part composed of women. The
meeting opened with prayer and singing. The Rev.
F.Bottome then addressed those present He said
ne rejoiced to see this day, when all classes were
beginning TO take deep interest in temperance
measures. The temperance movement had peen
generally separated from religion by men and
women to the great detriment OF the former; but
now. when they. were going hand in hand, It was
bound to be success But 1t seemed to him that
30 long as people kept this in their minds and re-
membered that their strength lay in making bare
the arm OF the Lord they might expect success In
the movement but when they turned aside from
religion they would fail in their undertakings.
The Hon. @. 9. Leigh had heard expressed great
surprise at the rapid strides temperance vas
making over this land. To his mind 1t WAS

New YORK did not manifest more feeling In the
matter. The women in the West organized with
prayer were baptized, visited their friends and
persuaded them to-, sign the pledge and
to sell liquor without a physician's prescrip-
ton. They next visited the capitalists ana
talked to them In private as only women can talk
to o guilty sinner The liquor seller importers
and manufacturers are next sought out and
argued with in the same Kind spirit on the sinful

Shortly after ~ o'clock, last night, man
named David Colion, some what intoxicated, en-
tered the bar-room Of the Delaware House, and
acted in manner not overly polite and orderly,
VIM. Ortlip, who was tending bar, desiring 10
make himself secure from harm, took q small
revolver from shelf and placed it in his pocket,
Cotton observed this action, and asked if the
pistol was intended for him, Orlip intimated
that it was, in case be did not behave himself.
Colton then BECAME very quiet, and in a few
minutes, politely asked permission to examine
the pistol, which was granted. Taking the weap-
on 10 bis handle, he cooked il, and then exclaim-
TO 0rtlip, .Now, dam you git"
While these events were transpring, prom
ioent legal gentleman Of this city, was sitting in
the bar-room, q quiet but interested spectator.
Now, whether he thought the, above pertinent
command was intended for him, or was afraid
the pistol might accidentally discharge while
pointed in his direction, We cannot say; but GER
tain it is that he did git" with a vengeance,
and springing 10 his feet, be made hasty exit
through the door, and hastened up the street.
Ortiip, however, seized hold of the pistol, and
cried Justify for the police. Special officer Stew

A QUKsTIoN.-A subscriber sends The following
question for solution: "If freight on the W. &

required the freight per bushel of 60 pounds
The person solving the above question will be en-
titled to a bushel of potatoes by forwarding the
answer to Boz /, Northbrook p o, Chester Co.,
Pa.-West Chester Nesos.
The answer is three and three-fifth cents per
bushel. We cannot imagine why the writer
should have prcpounded such a question, unless
be imagines he has been yictimized. A large
quantity of potatoes would be shipped over the
road at the rate OF six cents per 100 pounds, but
single bushel would be charged for at regular
rates-25 cents per single buhdle or package less

Immense Frauds,

pRoOKLYN's TAX COLLECTORS ROB THE CITY
OF ABOUT $75O,OOO.
BROOKLYN, Feb: 10.-An investigation now
gong on in the Brooklyn tax office, has it is
understood, revealed the fact that immense
frauds have been committed by the tax collec-
tors under previous appointments from Mr..
Burrows, and that there are large discrepan-
cies outside of those charged to Deputy
Collector Gill, from discoveries made by Sea-
man, the accountant. 1t is probable that dur
ing the terms of the tax collectors and their
predecessors, the city was defrauded out of
amounts ranging from half to three-quarters
of million OF dollars and perhaps more.
