why do such great numbers OF the citi-
zens and the travelling public wait for the
5 P. NJ. train of the Mobile line, the great
centennial combination route, which car
ries the fast United States mail and great
Southern Express? when that universally
acknowledged popular route is the only
line running an express morning train out
of New Orleans, leaving foot of Canal
street at 6:45 A. NJ, with elegant parlor
cars at tached which run through to Mont
gomery, Alabama, for an early supper,
where elegant palace sleeping cars stand
waiting to run through to Nashville, Louis
vile and Cincinnati, and from thence to
Niagara Falls and New York without
change.
BY this train passengers have sleeping
cars on all night trains via Atlanta, to all
the celebrated watering places in Virginia
and to all Eastern cities and the centennial
grounds.
The P. M. train runs with through
sleepers from New Orleans, via Nashville
and Louisville, to Cincinnati, and via At
lants and Washington, to Baltimore with
out change, and from thence through to the
centennial grounds and New York. Sixty
two and half hours is the unprecedented
time made by this popular route from New
Orleans to New York, and it is the only
route running double daily express trains.

Tho Cure of Drunk en- ess.

To THE EDITOR OF The SUN-ST: Some time
ofinebrates trying to reform. II you will now repub-
lish the same Know 1t may be the means o., doing
incalculable 5000. OLD READER.
The recipes which our correspondent asks for
were not Intended a. a cure for drunkenness.
but a. an aid TO the inebriate who resolves to
conquer his appetite for alcohol. The excos
sive lsssituds and exhaustion attending the
leaving on OF habitual daily drinks Is one Of the
most iusidious foes that he has to resist
because his will is weakened a. well as his physi-
cal strength. We pointed out TO such sufferers
the necessity for self-control and total absti-
hence and TO fortifY the weakness Of the physi-
cal powers, We recommended the occasional use
OF very strong coffee with the hot air bath when
IL could DO obtained. and also tho prescription
resorted TO by the celebrated reformed inebri-
ate Capt. JOHN VINE HALL namely, sulphate Of
iron, 1--WE grains peppermint wator. eleven
drachms ;extract Of Jamaica ginger, one drachm;
one tablespoonful taken night and morn
ing. We also recon mended the use OF
fruit TO allsy the thirst, which is said to be I'M
comfortable at times. Lemons, oranges, pine
apples. currants, Strawberries grapes, ana juicy,
tart apples are the best for this purpose.
Peaches aud melons are not objectionable. To.
bacco must be avoided, as It's habitual uee de-
ranges digestion, and thereby creates thirst for
liquor. The constant use OF tea and coffee is
also TO be avoided, and a good, nutritious, hy-
genie diet should be taken, composed In the
main Of rare beef, oatmeal porridee, and simple
food IN general. The avoidance Of salt Ash and
salt meats, and everything provocative OF thirst,
Is also indicated. Temptations OF every kind
must be summed such as convivial and social
parties or the companlonship OF those who
would be apt to invite a man to take drink
Furthermore, a mans very occupations and
pursuits in life must be chosen with an eye to
his idiosyncrasies in this respect as in others
lie must follow no calling that will expose him
to the temptation OF drinking; and whatever his
business may be, let him devote as much time
TO mental cultivation a. possible. The pursuit
of some favorite study, combined with regular
habits and great personal cleanliness and neat
ness Of attire, will also aid In the work Of refor
| nation and self-control.

Methodist preachers are great smokers,

Methodist preachers are great smokers,
many OF them. some smoke pipes, and OF hers
cigars, domestic or imported. Some smoke be-
fore their sermons, others after them. We have
heard Of at least Que who smoked pretty steadily
during the six secular days Of the week, but re-
Trained altogether from smoking on Sundays.
There are many Methodist preachers who prac-
tics the habit Of chewing, and still others who
enjoy tho custom Of taking snun. 1t Is prob
able that there are Methodist preachers who
smoke, snun, and chew. and who never feel
happy unless they are under the stimulus Of
tobacco, In some Of Its forms. There has been a
great deal OF discussion OF this subject, for
years past, at the preachers meetings; aud
many efforts have been made to get the clergy to
Join snti-tobacoo societies. The Baltimore Con-
ference have q proposition for extreme action
against preaching smokers and chewing preach
ers. The resolution goes so fav as TO provide
that no preacher shall be ordained unless he
pledge himself to abstaln entirely from the use
OF tobacco In any shape. No Methodist preacher
need have any apprehension that the Confer
enoe will go 10 such an extremity. There arc
too many smoking members OF It for that.

Bayard for President.

THOMAS f. BAYARD OF Delaware has
every personal quality that could be de-
sired in a public man. He Is able, he I'M
derstands public affairs, his learning is
extensive and solid his character and
motives are lofty and noble, his democ-
racy in the best sense is beyond question.
AS CARL SCHURz once said 10 Gov. TILDEN,
BAYARp would make an ideal President"
Yet, If he were nominated at st. Louis,
there would be difficulty in the way of
his election. This would grow out OF his
relations with the war of the rebellion.
No man who knows Mr.. BAYARD can feel
any doubt rs to his patriotism. or suspect
that he ever adhered either to the doctrine
or the fact of secession, or that he ever
cherished any love for the institution of
slavery. lie desired the unity Of the
country all through that terrible struggle,
and he never doubted thnt the Union
would stand and the Confederacy go
down. On these points we believe his
record to be clear and consistent.
But this Is not enough. The people
have not forgotten the war; much as they
desire that its issues and its animosities
shall be at rest forever. They require nc
tIht lnt lttlOIll cululutlc lOT
President now shall be one who warmly,
ardently, earnestly sympathized with the
great object Of the war, and who was more
Jealous 10 gain that object than TO criti-
else the shortcomings and mistakes of
those actively engaged in its prosecution.
Does Mr.. BAYARD come up to this stand
ard 7 This is the question which will be
asked, and on which, If he Is the candidate,
great deal Of explanation may be ne
cessary.
We esteem and admire Mr.. BAYARD be-
| You'd most of our public men. He has a
warm heart, and other warm hearts are
drawn to him. If he Is nominated, we
shall expect to support him. But the most
important duty is not merely TO nominate
a At man, but the 1T man VINO is most sure
of being elected.
The way to keep the issues Of the war at
rest, is TO make such an Opposition, Re
form ticket for November that il will be
universally regarded us sound regarding
| them.

Mr.. Secretary Robson cannot afford to

accepting the published version OF the evidence
received by the Committee on Naval Affairs as

himself to give full, true and particular state
ment OF his relations with the Cattells, OF his
knowledge OF their transactions with contract
ors. and OF the pecunary fayors he has received
