THE SACRIFICES OF RRECkIN.
RIDGE

The ceremonies at Louisville. on the
evening OF June 18th, in memory
of the late Gen. John c. Breckinridge,
were solemn and imposing. The ora
ton of Gen. William Preston, on the oc.
casion, is characterized, by the Courier
Joianai as 'magmiiiccnt." 1T is not
only" says the Couricr-,Jou,nai, 1.-THE
perfection OF public addrcss-eloquent
graceful and strong-thc tribute of one
great man TO anoiher--the offspring OF
personal feeling, neighborly kindness,
and political convictiOn-but il is the
whole case Of the South epitomized by
representative Southcrncr. BY it, and on
1t, the southern people are willing TO
stand or fall, Indifferent TO the play of
parties, 80 they bc vindicated according
TO the clear lines laid down by the man.

more than all other Southern men stands

After reading this glowing praise OF
the oraiion, We turn TO it aud fail 10 find

pure English, strong in all It's sentences
and in some OF them fine, 1t nevertheless
fails to salty the reader. IL is praise OF
Brckinridge, but in il can De found no
analysis Of his character, and certainly II
contains no argument in yindication o.
the Southern movement against the
Union. "BIeckinridge was great anc
good man, eminent in the Senate and dis
tlnguished in the field; and the cause of tn,
South was just" Is the whole OF the ora.
ton. 1t is assertion, not discussion.
After reciting the story of Breckin

til the moment when he stood in the Sen

Gen. Preston says: "IIe stood silent an,

crn men, and the submission or friend
ship OF Breckenridge would have been Al

his lofty integrity ,he.avoided the tompta

by this language, that Breckinridgc

GOING RACK -.

The City Council OF Vincenncs, Indiana,
In the face Of the evident drift of public
sentiment in Cairo to remove liquor from
the list of luxuries and place it on the list
Of necessities, requiring it to pay no
higher license than merchandise, raised
the liquor license of that city day or
two ago, from $40 TO $50. We think it
would be well if Mayor Winter protested
against this action. When Cairo is about
to take forward position OH the liquor
license question, is it sad to see neighbour
ing towns going backward.

Important to Cigar Manufacturers

The commissioner of internal rev.
cnue has sent out 4 very vigorous let
ter to the collectors throughout the
country. instructing them to enforce
the law in reward to the proper brand
ing of cigar boxes, about which great
complaint has been made: The law
provides that all cigars which shall be
removed from any mandatory or
place where cigars ARE made, without
branding into each box with brand
ing-iron the number of cigars contain
c / therein, the name of the manufac-
Iurer and the number of the district
and State shall be forfeited to the Uni
ted States. The violation of the law is
punishable by Il fine ranging from one
hundred dollars to one thousand dol
lars. with imprisonment from six
months to three years. Since the pas
sage of the law MANY manufacturers
have cvaded its provisions by other
methods than that prescribed by law
namely. that of branding Some
have just stamped boxes of tin, and
some have contented themselves with
a label. There is no excuse for iguo-
rance of the law, as some time ago the
commissioner issued sixty thousand
circulars, 10 French, German and En-
gllsh, containing copies of the law
The commissioner, after receiving for
some time complaints from collectors

has issued Il mandatory letter TO all
the collectors, requiring them to i'm

rigOr Of the law every case that comes
under their notice. and no excuses are
to be received The plain letter of the
law i TO be most strictly enforced, aud
any evasions are TO be punished withs
cut mercy.

FRIGHTENING CHILDREN.-Nothing
can be worse for Child than to be
frightened. The effect of the scare it
is slow to recover from; it remains
sometimes until maturity. as is shown
by many instances 81 morbid sensitive
ness aud excessive nervousness. Not
nnfrequently fear is employed .as a
means ofdiscipline. Childrenare con
tIollud by berry made to believe that
something terrible will happen to them
and are punished by being shut up in
dark rooms, or By being put in places
they stand in dread of. No one. with
ont vivid memory of his own childhood
can comprehend how entirely cruel
such things are. We have often heard
grown persons tell of the suffering
they have endured, as children, under
like circumstances. and recount the
irreparable injury which they are sure
they then received. No parent, no
nurse. capable of alarming the young,
is fitted for her position Children, a
near as possible. should be trained lot
to know the sense OF lear which, above
everything else, is to be feared in their
education both early and late.
