Temperance Tidal-waVe.

The great Murphy temperance
movement is reported by the papers
to be passing over Ohio and Indiana
like great tidal wave. 1t started
in Pittsburg, where over 10000
signed the total-abstinence pledge,
and from there Murpby's converts
are going forth in all directions thro'
Pennsylvania and the west holding
meetings. Murphy himself is hold
ing meetings day and night in Phila-
delphia with great success. Over
10000 hard drinkers have already
signed the pledge and the interest
shows no sign Of subsiding. Murphy
is opposed to prohibition and other
legal enactments but relies on the
pledge with Gods help. 1t is a blessed
aud wonderful movement.

IUE CRESCENT AND CROSS.

The great War cloud which has so
.ong been hanging over Russia and
Turkey seems indeed about to burst
IN all its fury. The FraLco.German
war was war Of races. This will be
. war of religious creeds-the Cres-
cent against the Cross. Russia is es-
:.matod to be able to muster an army
i half million and Turkey about
he same effective force. A Wash
lngton correspondent interviewed old
Admiral Porter, the chief Of our gal
liant Navy, the otker DIZZY, who gave
his views of the war with great en-
thu siasm. The Admiral sympathizes
with the Turks, who he says are in
spire,l ty their religion and will give
Ill they have to the cause. The war
will be the most gigantic contest the
world has ever witnessed. All the
other powers of Europe will soon be
dragged into it. Austria will certain
ly be in the fight before six months.
lie does not believe Turkey will be
wiped out. Constantinople is i'm
rregnable and the Turkish fleet Is
equal if not superior to that OF Russia.
The day war is declared he says will
be Black Friday for Europe and Re-
leemer's day for our country. We
will have to supply the combatants
not only with the means Of killing
each other but with the articles which
support life. We shall sell them
-four, wheat, corn, pork, clothing, be-
sides muskets, cannon and ammuni-
ton, which will re.establish our com.
mercial supremacy and put an end to
hard times.

MONDAY a brutal attack was made
in Philadelphia upon Colonel Mcclure
chief editor Of the Times, by Mr.. Nat
Mckay and several Of his associates.
For some time past Mckay had been
severely criticised in the columns of
the TIN es, and libel suit was tried
in the Criminal Court, which result
el in Il failure Of the jury to agree.
Nov the aggrieved naval contractor
resorts to force Of arms to redress his
wrongs, and it is altogether likely
that he will find the new business in
which he has engaged quite as un-
profitable as suits for libel.

The Fire Fiend.

Last week was unusually prolific Of
destructive fires in all sections Of the
country. Factories, mills, warehous-
as and dwellings too numerous to
mention, went to eshes in great con-
tlagration, the loss summing up hun
dreds Of thousands Of dollars. TIE
most serious fire was that Of the
great Southern Hotel in st. Louis,
one Of the modern six story hotel pal
ace, which was entirely consumed
with all the furniture, which alone
was worth 100000. The first re-
ports Of the fire gave fearful accounts
of loss of life, as the hotel was full
and the fire broke out in the night,
but the total number Of lives positive
" known to be lost is now reduced to
eleven, although it is feared several
more bodies may be found in the ru-
ins.
But whether in fires, storms or de-
structive catastrophies of any kind,
we are generally surpassed by similar
affairs in foreign Countries. For in
stance fire at Stamboul Turkey. on
Tuesday night last, destroyed near
ly five hundred houses, without how
ever any loss of life.

FFOm the Pulpit TO Prison and TO

Springfield Republican,
Superintendent Crothers, of the
Hartford Comm Walnut Hill inc
briate asylum, tells this strange
story of an eminent clergyman,
well-known in Hartford many years
ago. A clergyman Of fortune, posi-
tion and much reputation, he lost
his daughter by a violent death, and
began to drink to drown his sor-
row. 1t was in vain that his wife
and friends opposed, demonstrated,
implored and persuaded he drank
on, the appetite steadily increasing,
until he became its slave. His con
gregation dismissed him; his wife
died of a broken heart; he squan-
dered his fortune, lost his friends,
and at last became a reporter for a
low New York paper, through
means of which he picked up a
scanty living. From bad to worse
he swept down rapidly, and, fol
some ofense committed while
drunk, was at last sent for six
months to State prison. On com
ing out and returning to the Oity
he became a fish peddler, drinking
desperately all the time. One day
while drunk he was injured anC
taken to the hospital, where he va
recognized by the attending doctor
and finally sent to an inebriat,
asylum. He remained here ST,
months, went away. relapsed ant
was returned by his friend, tn
doctor. A year later he went ava
to the far West to begin life again
Commencing in a small church, a
pastor, he became, in a few years
one of the leading men, and finally
president of q college. Last yea
he died, a man renowned, and re
garded as the ablest divine of tina
section. Among his papers wer
found some of the facts concerning
his early struggles, in which h
gracefully acknowledges the wiz
dom of his old college friend, i
forcibly removing him from temp
tation to an asylum, which was th
only possible way in which he coul
escape.

did there he does not say, but his
money was soon spent, and he could
get no work. Then he decided to
return home. He boarded trains,
and after getting off and on several
reached the city. But the conduc-
tor Of the last train that he was on
had him arrested when he reached
the end Of the route. The boy gave
a fictitious name. He was kept
locked up over night, and because
he was young, and, evidently, a son
of refined parents, the charge was
not pressed, and he was not taken
into court.
The meeting between the father
and the son was joyous on both
sides. The boy is described as hav.

A PRICELESS TREASURE.
IseOvePy OF a Statue by PraxiseIea
Description OF It's Appearance.

Discovery OF a Statue by PraxiseIea
-DescrfPtiOn OF IT'S Appearance.
London Athen@um.l
In the second week of May, 1877,
there was found in Olympia temple
of Zeus, not far from the portrait
statue of a Roman lady, a colossal
marble statue of a nude youth.
The lower portion of the legs and
the right forearm are wanting.
With the left elbow he leaned upon
the stem of a tree supporting on
his arm a little boy. OF the latter
figure, unfortunately, only the
lower part remains, and the tiny
hand that he laid confdingly on
the shoulder of his bearer. Over
the tree.stem on which the arm
that supports the boy is rested falls
the drapery on rich, deeply-cut and
wonderfully-worked folds, affording
to the arm a soft resting place, and
gracefully hiding the support of the
tree-stem, which in this position
was technically necessary. The
body Of the youth rests with an
easy negligence on the left leg, 50
that the soft flesh of the right hip
shows, in manifold displacements
the play of the muscles Of the
blooming, youthful form. The
head is marked by the finest, most
spiritualized youthful beauty, and
somewhat resembles the heads We
see on the Vatican Meleager or the
Hermes of the Belvidere. The
body, too, resembles those figures
only it is slenderer, softer, more vi
vacious. At the first glance we are
struck by the careless execution o.
the hair, which, in the parts tina
were usually unseen by the specta
tors, is only slightly indicated. TIL,
back Of the statue is also less thor
oughly wrought. Now Pausania
reports that among the gifts Of re
cent date was a marble Hermes car
rying the boy Dionysus, and that i
was a work of Praxiteles. The sa
wants who have charge Of the exca
vations have, therefore, and there il
no donbt correctly, inferred that ou
statue is really the Hermes of Prax
iteles, and that we now, for the frs
time, behold an original work o
that great artist-a work that il
equalto the greatest treasures W,
possess Of ancient art, and which
must ever remain a cornerstone o
our knowledge of the history o
Greek sculpture.

All Cuban Prisoner OF War to be
ShOt-A Bloody Decree.
New York Herald
The commander-in n-chief of the
Spanish forces in Cuba, General
Martinez Campos, has just issued "a
private order among the comman-
derS of columns, ordering that all
Cuban prisoners shall be killed,
and reported as having been. killed
IN battle. Uampos promised the
Spanish government that he would
end the revolution in Cuba by the
end of January, 1878. The follow
ing shows to what desperate straits
he is driven when he is compelled
to order tho assassination of pris-
oners Of war in cold blood:
HEADQUARTERS IN CUBA, Nov.
l, 1S77.-To THE COMMANDERS OF
COLUMNS (Private): Knowing the
uselessness of clemency toward the
enemy, who are unable to appre-
ciate it, for they esteem it as weak
ness on our part, | find myself
called upon to adopt energetic
measures to finish at once and for
ever the hydra of insurrectiOn.
You will therefore, upon the receipt
of this order, shoot all prisoners of
war, whoever they may be, making
it appear that they have been killed
in battle.
recommend to you secrecy in
this matter and an exact fulfillment
Of this order.
MARTINEZ OAMPos.
Campos formerly served under
Captain General VaImaseda, better
known to the Oubans as the '"Tiger
of Bryama, who ordered that all
Cubans found in the country, ire
spective of sex, should be killed by
his troops. Valmaseda also ap-
proved of the slaughter Of the eight
medical students at Havana. The
troops commanded by his disciple,
Oampos, on one occasion, it is al
legged, came into the city of Bay
anna carrying on their bayonets the
remains of young Cuban patriot
named Tamayo, but seventeen years
old, whom they had killed. With
reference to the above proclamation
it is reported from Cuban sources
that nine prisoners of war have al
ready been executed at Manzanillo.
