IT WAS AN ANCIENT CUSTOM of the
Spartans, in order to inculcate among
their youth an adherence of intemper-
ance and its kindred vices, to make their
slaves drunk with wine in the public
market-places, so that the rising genera
ton, upon whom would some day devolye
the honor and safety of the Lacedemo.
Man Republic, might see before them all
the CHASTITY details of the drunkard's dis
grace, his loss of reason and of physical
strength. 'Twere well, perhaps, to-day,
could some of our young men contem-
plate similar instructive lesson drawn
from the life, showing them, by sharply
drawn contrast, the advantages and true
loveliness of abstinence and virtue.
For such as appreciate these, VINEGAR
BITTERs is the beverage best adapted, 1t
being purely vegetable draught, devoid
of alcohol or mineral pOisons, and pos
sessing all the virtues, but none of the
damning curses, of the different poisons
which year by year are sweeping away
thousands of dollars and lives. II

THE remains of Columbus were first
deposited in the convent of st. Francis,
at Valladolid, where they remained for
six years, when they were removed to
the monastery of Las Cuevas, at Seville,
Spain, where costly monument was
raised over them by King Ferdinand.
From this spot his body was removed, in
the year 1856, to the island of st. Do
mingo, and on the cession of that island
to the French, in 1895, his remains were
again removed to Cuba, where his ashes
still remain in the cathedral church of
Havana.

The Creation Of Woman.

A prince once said to Rabbi Gamaliel
Your God is thief; he surprised Adam
in his sleep, and stole rib from him.
The Rabbits daughter overheard this
speech, and whispered word or two in
her fathers ear, asking permission to an
swer this singular question herself. de
gave her consent.
The girl stepped forward, and feigniing
terror and dismay, threw her arms aloft
in supplication, and cried out, My liege,
my liege, JUSTICE revenge!
"What has happened?' asked the
prince.
replied. GA robber has crept secretly
into our house, carried away silver
goblet, and left golden one in its stead"
"What an upright theft exclaimed
the prince. Would that such robberies
were of more frequent occurrence!
"Behold then, sire, the kind of thief
that our Creator was; he stole rib from
Adam, and gave him beautiful wife IN
stead"
"Well said r' avowed the prince

A Baked Bible.

There is Bible in Lucas county, O.,
which, at one time, contained some very
warm scriptural texts. 1t belongs to a
Mr.. Scheboldt, a nalive of Bohemia. 1t
was formerly the property of his grand
mother, who was a very devout Protest
ant. During one of those unfortunate
periods when religious prosecutions were
common in Austria, law was passed at
the instance of the Catholics, that every
Bible in the hands of the people should
be surrendered to the priests to be burned.
Mrs. Scheboldt determined to save hers,
and when the party came to search her
house, she had Just prepared a huge batch
of dough for the oven. and, taking her
precious Bible, she wrapped the yielding
dough around it and quickly deposited
it in the oven. Here it was most thor
oughly baked, but was saved uninjured
from the fiery furnace of the priests. 1t
may be said to have been saved from the
fire by fire, and has passed down through
several generations as memorial of the
days when men were not allowed to wor-
ship God in accordance with the dictates
of their own coDsciences. 1t ought to GO
to the Centennial as a mute witness of
the light of other days-a igh. raised by
bonfire of burning Bibles.

The UOIOkIynTriaI.

mr.. BREcuER's TESTIMONY ABOUT FINISHED
CRoss-ExAnINED TO-DAY.
Mr. Beechers evidence was devoted mainly
to DENIAL OF Mrs. Moulton's version Of the
conversation that took place in her parlor on
the 31st of May, 1878. 1t will be remembered
that Mrs. Moulton enormously located this in
terview on the End of June, 1873; and she also
testified to another interview which she said oc-
CURED day or two afterwards. Mr.. Beecher
has proven beyond the shadow of a doubt that
he was not at Mouton's house on the day
named, and that he was out of the city for the
next fifteen days. The interview that Mrs.
Moulton had in her mind occurred on the 3lst
of May, and her husband icas present. This seems
to be controlling fact in the case, and one that
will nulify Mrs. Moultons testimony. Mr..
Beechers explanation of the conversations that
took place on that day appear to be reasonable,
and entirely consistent with the theory on which
his defence rests. namely that the sorrow that
burdeued his heart was occa ioned by the remen =
brance of his unfortunate advice OF Mrs. Tilton
and the reflection that he had been instrumental
in alternating her affections from her husband
although entirely innocent of any evil intention.
Mr. Bee cher never heard that the charge of
adultery was to be brought against him until
told by Mr. Redpath, who went to see him at
Peekskl sometime after the publication of the
Bacon letter.

The occupant of an upper room named Drinks,

he went through the hallway, past the
door Of the Darraughs' bed room,
Darraugh called him into the room, and
he saw Mira Darraugh lying on the floor
groanpg, while her brutal husband was kicking
her about the ribs and lower limbs, Darraugh
told Drinks that she was drunk, and sad "Ill
give it to her though; I'll cool her off," While
Drinks was in the room Darraugh went to
hydrant in the yard and drew bucket of water,
which he threw over the PROSTATE form
of the woman. Drinks saw this per
formance repeated several times dur
ing the day, and later, Sherry, who kept
rum mill near by, found Darraugh whipping her
with heavy "black-snake" whip. He said she
away, Darraush relocked the door and after
brief rest proceeded to resume his
crueltes towards the unfortunate woman.
How long this continued il not known, but
Drinks states that he heard her groaning all day
and night and Judging from the noise, did not
think Darraugh went to bed, but spent the en-
