Grand Temperance Movement.

Grand Temperance Movement.
Denver, August AIN accordance
with a previous announcement to that
effect, ''the Murphy temperance move.
ment'-as it is familiarly called in the
east, was inaugurated in the Lawrence
Street Methodist church of this city,
last night, with an audience which
filed every part Of that large edifice.
The proceedings began with the read
ing of the 9th psalm, and the Goth
chapter of Proverbs, by Rev. 7. c.
Bliss, of st. Paul. After an earnest
prayer by Rev. /. II. Beardsley, and the
singing of the Coronation" hymn,
Rev. II. Sinsehaugh took the stand to
explain the object of the movement,
and the in which it originated
here.
After other interesting speeches,
amidst universal applause, Mr.. c. e.
Davis walked up and took the pledge.
He was followed by two hundred and
fourteen others, to each of whom was
given a blue ribbon and the card to
which his or her signature, as the case
may be, is attached.
If the size, character and enthusiasm
of the audience which witnessed its
birth, last night, may be taken as a
fair indication of its future, it is safe
to predict that the Murphy movement
will be an immense success in Denver.

The most ludicrous figure on the bat

Division until the firing began, and

intimate that it was not cowardice
which prompted the Generals abrupt
withdrawal from the scene of action.
The correspondent writes that the old
soldier must have lost his head rather
than his heart. The story goes that the
Grand Duke sent him away with aflne
mixture of arbitrary assumption of pro-

inc kindly feeling for n soldier in mis-

The opposition to the existence of
l~abor-saving machinery among a GER
tain class of workingmen took q singu-
lar form in a Workingmen's Dis
trict Convention in Baltimore, Nd.
The Chairman is reported to have
'.made a speech in which he expressed
the pleasure it afforded him to be able
to announce the complete destruction
by fire of the United States Patent
Office He said 1t was the enemy Of
workinemen, and it would never again
bs rebuilt. He was loudly applauded. "
In a recent speech of Senator Thurman,
Of Ohio, he attributed one cause of the
present hard times among the working
classes to the existence and extensive
use of labor-saving machinery. But to
vent ones spite against the Patent Of
Zee in Washington, simply because it
contains the models of many Of these
machines, is both silly and absurd,
whatever may be thought of the alb
stract question involved.

The Southern orators have lost none
Of their proverbial love of iowery elo-
quence in speech-making, as is eviden-
ced by the efforts Of those who are now
welcoming President Hayes to Southern
soil. The following, from the address
Of Chairman Bocock, at Lynchburg,
Va, yesterday, is hardly surpassed by
the historic times of Lawrence NJ.
Keitt, Of South Carolina. Said Mr..
Bocock:
"Under the aspiration of thought, a
vision of the future comes before Inc.
The chasm that once yawned so wide
and SO bloody between the Southern
and Northern States is filled and oblit-
Grated; bright flowers of charity and
concord lift their pure heads in the
sunlight of favoring heaven, and over
hang in allits gorgeous colors the
bow of promise and hope"

ing over her fathers fence. and that
William Dobson came along, seized her
by the hands, and forcibly pulling her
over the palisade, committed the
assault for which she claimed redress
! ut the hands Of the law. a sister of
the complainant testified that she did
not see the alleged improperly, be-
| cause of the darkness, and she being in
| another part of the yard, but she heard
a kiss, or something that sounded like
a kiss, and knew that something was
going on.
Dobson claimed the privilege of being
his own witness, and he told the part
of the story omitted by Miss Heller
and her sister. He is a jolly specimen
of an EnglishmaV. His narrative Of
the occurrence in which he had become
involved runs as follows:
Dobson-Yer see, yer 'onors, L was
walking along, singing, What will the
'arvest .be?"-
General Mccartney council for
plaintiff, disposed to have some fun
while confusing the witnessl-You
were singing 'What will the 'arvest
be2" closely initiating the intonation
of the witness).
Dobson VERY composedly)-Sss sir.
"What will the 'arvest be?"
General McCartney-"What will the
'arvest be?"
Dobson (unrumed-'What will the
'arvest be?"
General McCartney-WelI 60 on, sir.
Dobson-Yer see, yer 'onors, 1 was
going along, singing. what will the
'arvest be2' when l heard Mary sing
ing, What will the 'arvest be-"
BY this time there were decided evil
dences of merriment all over the court
ROOM; but Dobson remained a imper-
turbable as though officiating AT a
funeral.
Dobson-Yes, sir. She was singing,
"What will the 'arvest be?" but not so
loud rs 1 was, and I called out, "Hallo,
Mary, are that your" and she said it
be. l went up to the fence, and she
were hall Malone, has her father lad
gone to class"
General Neutrality-suspicious. to class!
What did she mean by that?
Dobson-Why any fool knows what
class" means. Her father had gone
to class-meeting and left 'er hall Malone.
We chatted q little, and then
General McCartney--Well, you have
heard her testimony. You seized her,
pulled her over the fence and kissed
herP"
Dobson-"No. That testimony is
false. We talked awhile and she sort
of leaned hover the fence--like as II
she wanted me to--and just then Satan
got the best of me, and 1 kissed Ter
right hon the mouth. 1 found out
What will the 'arvest be- and think
she was 4 heasy prey"
Here the gravity of the court, coun-
sellers and spectators gave way, and
seldom in q court of justice has there
been such a scene of uncomfortable
hilariousness. Judge Harding fairly
roared himself hoaIse with laughter,
and all business was suspended for sew
eral minutes to allow those in the court
room to recover their equanimity.
Dobson was acquitted of the charge OF
assault, but must pay half the costs OF
the suit rs his share of the '%arvest. lCor.
