Tile Temperance Question.

Editors Of the IhIClllSOncer
There have been great many plans
suggested, aud great many views ex.
pressed in reference to preventing the
farther spread Of intemperanCe in this
country. ltseem to me, however, that
no definite measures have been reached.
The question now arises, will ii ever
succeed" In my opinion temperance
will never prevail as long as total ab.
Hinence L. advocated. Our people have
had sufficient experience to know what
has been accomplished by total abstinence.
In some cases II may prove eilectual, but
~ Il general rule it will work disaster to
the cause. The only remedy therefore
that can sec il to reduce 1t gradually,
ani would suggest the following plans:
First. Enact laws that will do away
with tho miserable custom Of treating
one another in this country.
Second, Substitute light drinks in
place Of whisky.
Some will claim that nothing elsG will
agree with them, but that Ia II false no.
tion
Again let places Of amusement be pro.
viiel to entertain young men during the
evenings. Places where they may find
heightened social enjoyment. And more
over let parents provide agreeable homes
where their children will love to spend
their evenings. TEMrERANGE.

there was not much, but there was lar
more than could be at all properly served.
The cOmmissary department, the quar-
tormaster's department, the stat-all
these as yet existed hardly in name. The
various towns sent food and clothing ir-
regularly to their troops, while orders
were dispatched largely by word ofmouth
and by any messenger who CHANGED in the
way.
Opposed to these men on the morning
Of that eventful day were 10000 regular
and highly disciplined British troops un-
der command Of General Howe and other
experienced officers. These 10000 men
were obliged to assume the offensive un-
der great disadvantages, and the whole
history Of our war with Great Britain
does not record more gallant and stub
born fight than the three assaults made
by these troops on the breastworkS which
the American militiamen had thrown up
the night before the battle. They fought
with all that tenacity Of discipline which
has ever characterized English troops
in every part Of the world. In the first
attack they were received with a murder
Ous fire and were obliged to fall back.
And so in like manner were they repulsed
in tho second attack, But in the third
assault, the powder Of the Colonists hay
ing given out, thOy came on them with
fixed bayonets and drove them out Of
their Entertainments.
As showing the deadly character Of the
struggle, we may mention that the loss on
the American side was ll5 killed, SO5
wounded, and 80 taken prisoners. On
the British side the loss in killed and
wounded was 1854, Of whom 81 were
commissioned officers. And thus resulted
the famous battle Of Bunker Hill, the
most memorable conflict Of the RevOln-
ton, fought this day one hundred years

could not make this more emphatic or

had done TO a woman who had cast her

Reception OF Military visitors.

BoSroS, June I6.-To-day has been
given up to the reception OF the visiting
military bodies, and from carly this
morning the streets have been alive with
gay uniforms and resonant with the stir
ring strains Of martial music, The peo.
pie Of Boston, with much Of the enthusi-
asm Of the war period, have given them
selves over to hospitality, and have vel
coined the military and civic bodies with
an ardor quite in unison with the patri.
otic spirit Of the day, forgetting the diff.
ierences OF the past. The crowd who
thronged the principal streets through
which the military paraded on their way
to tho hotels bestowed the heartiest ap.
plause on the men from the South, and u

people Of Boston paying an ovation to an
ex-COnfederate officer. General Lee
bowed again and again, as applause
greeted him on every corner. The tat
tered flag Of Pennsylvania as II passed up
the street was also saluted with rounds Of
applause, and the spectacle Of such an
cru Of reunion and fellowship was one
never TO be forgotten. At 3P. NJ. to-day

the address Of welcome, Col. Thomas I.
Simons, Of Charleston, South Carolina,
