Some Southern Names.

The late war is sometimes called war
between the north and the south, but it is
strange what bright red spots of southern
blood are found on the northern side, and
how those spots are forced to be recognized
by northern eyes. The citizens of Warn
er. New Hampshire, celebrated the 18th
of June by hauling boulder from kear-
sarge mountain and sending it to be placed
at the head of the grave of Rear Admiral
Winslow, the gallant commander OF the
Kearsarge in her memorable and success
full fight with Semmes Alabama in the
English channel, June 10. 1864. The
boulder has the following inscription upon
it:
Rear Admiral John Aucrum WinslOw U. s..
Navy Born in Wilmington, N c., Nov. 10 ,lSI1.
Died in Boston, Mass, Sept. %, 1873, He conduct
ed the memorable sea fight in command of the
U. s. s. Kearsarge when she sunk the Alabama In
the English Channel, June 10, 1864. This boulder,
taken from KearsargesM Mountain, Merrimack CouD
ty, N H., for which the corvette was named, and OF
whose timber she was constructed, Is the gltt OF
citizens of Warner, N. H., and is erected TO his
memory by his wife and surviving children"
The gallant seaman lies buried in Bos-
ton, and the stone at the head of his grave
is piece of New England granite; but
while New England soil holds his ashes,
and New England mountain has the re-
mote honor of giving name to the ship he
commanded, the man himself was the pro-
duct of southern state. Winslow was
born in North Carolina, and Farragut, the
real naval hero Of the war, was born in
Tennessee; and those other famous sea-
fighters, who are not to be overlooked be-
cause they fought on the wrong side, Buch-
anan, commander of the Merrimac and
Semmes of the Alabama were southern
men, also. There seems to be property
in southern blood that fits it for desperate
sea combats, and when we recall the names
of Tatnall, Herndon, Hartstein and Ingra
ham, in addition to these already named,
we are bound to admit the enterprise, dar-
| ing and ability of southern sea-captains.
Semmes and Buchanan do not stand in
high favor at the north, present; but il
we should chance to become embroiled in
an ocean war with foreign power, and the
former commander of the Alabama were
allowed to take part in it with good ship,
the chances are that he would come out of
it with a name that even New England
people would delight to honor.-.S. Louis

Food for Lear Women

1t anyone wishes to grow feshy, pint
Of milk. taken before retiring at night will
cover the scrawniest bones Although
nowadays we see a great many feshy fe-
males. yet there are many lean and lank
ones who sigh for the fashionable measure
Of plumpness. and whowould be vastly i'm
proved in health and appearance could
their figure be rounded with good solid
flesh. Nothing is more coveted by thin
woman than a full figure, and nothing else
will so arouse the ire and provoke the
scandal of one of one of the " clipper
builds" as the consciousness IF plumpness
in rival. In cases of fever and summer
complaint, milk is now given with excel
lent results. The idea that milk is fever
ish has exploded, and it is now the ply
sician's great reliance in bringing through
typhoid patients or those in too low a
state to be nourished by solid food. 1t is
great mistake to scrimp the milk pitcher.

sERBNADE TO HON. SHEPHERD
LEFFLKR.
The License Question In iowa.

A few evenings since the Hon. Sheppard
Refer, the Liberal Democratic candidate
for governor Of Iowa, was serenaded in
Burlington, and spoke to some 1000 or
1900 people from the Balcony Of the Bar
rett House. He reviewed and Endorsed
the platform generally, and here is what
is reported of his remarks on the license
question:
Mr.. Letter then read the 10th resolution
In relation to the license question and
went on to say that the issue is here fairly
presented between a prohibitory law on
the one hand, and license law on the 9th
err We take the responsibility of speak
ing out on this question, and all we ask is
the candid judgment of the country. Ii
the object is to stay the ravages of intern
perance and prevent the crime and desti
tuition and death that follow in its train,
we say let the legislature pass practical
well guarded license law that can be en-
forced. Experience shows that the ques-
ton is between license law, and no law
at all. Then the practical question is,
shall this monster be turned loose in our
streets to ravage at will, or shall he be
chained down by law that can be en-.
forced.
You must legislate for the world as it is
until the world is made better. 1t is use
less TO attempt impossibilities. If you ain
at too much you accomplish nothing. Ev
cry state that has tried this prohibitory
policy TO suppress intemperance has failed
and patriotic sentiment is rapidly chang
ing in favor OF the other system. Men say
that they have the right to use everything
that has been made or can be made fol
the use Of man. That use is one thing anC
abuse another, and very different thing
That law ought not to punish the use but
ought to punish the abuse. That the pro
hibitory law proposes TO punish the use
Besides, men say this is free country, ant
every man has the right to eat and drinI
and wear what he pleases, provided h
comes by it honestly, behaves himself de
Gently and does not injure his neighbor
Public feeling, therefore, rebels against tn
tyrannical provisions of the prohibitory lay
and refuses to enforce it, and the practice
result is that we have no law at all to re
sist the ravages Of intemperance.
The issue on that question is now fairl.
presented. The present prohibitory Law
was passed by the Republicans and il
their state convention they refused to pas
any resolution favoring license law. Thi
great question which has agitated tn
north and west for 20 years, and will 70
years to come, the Republicans were afrai
to touch,-thus practically throwing thei
influence for their own prohibitory law,
