At the eighth annual meeting,
which was lately held in Chicago,
of the American Association for the
cure of InebriateS, an interesting pa
per by DIR. j. 3. MattesOn of Brook
lyn, was read on 'The Responsible
ity of the Production of Opium In
ebriety." The writer sets forth that
within the last two or three decades
the consumption of opium has in
creased far in advance of its direct
curative need. The preponderance
of testimony was that its use was
often entered upon uncOnsciOusly,
and continued until it became a
physical necessity. The writer held
that fully 80 per cent. of the cases
of inebriety in this country may be
traced to Opiate prescriptions, which
physicians are too ready to prescribe
for the relief of pain or sleepleSS
ness. This ought to he avoided, es-
pecially with patients of nervous
temperament. Another physician
considered that the origin of the
habit was often more accidental
than otherwise. DR.. Widney said
that during the war, when opium
was very SCtICS, Hc Ildu hlIOMn per
sons who had been in the habit of
using it who turned their attention
to achOhOl as a substitute. He said
that in one case a woman who had
been in the habit of taking as high
as twenty grains of morphine a day,
drank great quantity of whisky
without becoming intoxicated. Per-
sons could use alcohol for long
er time than they could opium
without becoming dependent upon
it. The president of the association,
DIR. T. Mason, of Brooklyn, n. V,
said the impOrtations of opium were
largely increasing, and he held the
druggist most culpable.

Cupid Among the Red Men.

The Halifax Chronicle says A
romantic encounter took place the
other day between two Indian
woman and tall chief on board
the Soulanges, at Fredericton. The
two, it appears, had been travelling
with the setting sun toward the
great Salt Lake, and had brought a
bottle with them to keep their
spirits revived. One of the woman
was rather inclined to be handsome,
and Joel seemed to glory in con-
versing with her. But she had pro-
missed ere three moons to beStOW
her hand upon a more youthful
brave. Joel, however, began to
make love to her, and even limited
that young Gabe was mere SquaW.
This was too mnCh for Swan Neck.
Naturally irritable of temper, and
now excited with tire-Water, she
rushed upon the unfortunate Joel,
and, with the grip of a tigress, drag
ged him to the floor. The other
woman, who had all along been
taking an occasional dram out of
the bottle, now broke the calumet,
and, seizidg a billet of wood, began
to cudgel the unfortunate Joel. She
had, it appears, for many years
cherished the fond hope that he
would one day bring her to his wig
wan, and make her the trainer of
his papOOses. But her love had been
treated with scOrn, and now every
welt she gave him with that billet
of wood paid for many hours watch
iuU i'm tho still hours Of OiUht with
nothing but the pale moon stream
ing down to comfort her as she tried
to catch his figure returning from
the hunt. We'll, from what we can
learn, but for the intervention of
some of the crew, Joel would never
again hunt moose.

Honesty.

There is but little good in man.
His predominant characteristics are
deception, envy, jealousy and pref
udice. When such devlish princi-
pies are allowed to remain in mans
bosom, what good can come from
him. "The heart is deceitful above
all things, and desperately wicked"
Can a man be honest and envy his
neighbours surroundings or acquire
ments? Can q man be honest and
deceive his neighbOr? Can a man
be honest and with green eyed jeal-
Ousy scrutiniZe his neighbours ac-
tiOns? Can a man be honest and
allow religious or political preiudi-
ceS to blind his reason, embitter his
speech, fire his eyes, and cause the
bittereSt expressions to be hurled at
a fellow-man o man! here are
only four of thy characteristics.
These are common to every man,
and only by long, persistent effort,
with a determination to subdue
them, can they be overcome. So
long as Il man is dishonest he ac-
cOmplishes but little good, either
for himself or society. He is teach
ing his children to be dishonest; he
is giving his influence to build up
Satan's prospects; heiS giving blows
continually to Christ's kingdom,
wOunding the cause of that Redeem
er who never uses deception, never
had an enviOus or a jealous feeling,
and who never entertained a pref
udice. "TO be honest as this world
goes, is to be one picked out of ten
thousand" Now, every man pro-
fesSes to be an honest man, but we
know that such is not the case. We
know, though, that every man
ought to be honest; and let us ex-
hmine ourselves, and be that ONE
i'll ten thousand about whom Shaks-
peare wrote.

The New Chaplain Of the House of

The venerable DIR. John PoiSal,
Chaplain-eleCt of the House of Re

in Martinsburg, West Virginia, and
studied theology while working on
his bench. lie has passed his fiftieth
year i'm the ministry of the Method
ISt Church, and is a fine represent
atiVe of the rugged self-educated
and Old-time circuit workers of that
denomination. He was formerly
pastor i'm New York, and was con-
neCted for years with the religious
press. An interesting story is re-
lated of the conversion of Congress-
man !. Randolph Tuckner, of Nir-
ginia, by means of a powerful ser
mon preached several years since by
DIR. POisal. Mr.. Tuckner is said to
have been an aVOwed Skeptic prev
iOus to hearing the eloquent plead
ing of the old circuit rider, and i'm
the recent contest for the position of
Chaplain, the aged minister had no
warmer advocate than the noted
Virginia representative. DIR. POisal
is almost blind. lie is said To know
the Bible and the Methodist hymn
hook almost entirely by heart, his
want of eYeSight being compensated

iOus habits. He Is said to he exceed

Daniel Webster once dined with
an old Boston merchant, and when
they came to the wine a dusty old
bottle was carefully decanted by
John and passed to the host. TAX
ing the bottle he poured out Mr..
WebSter's glass and handed it to
him. Then pouring out another
glass for himself he held it to the
light and said:
GLOW do you like it, Mr.. Web
ster?!''
II think it is Il fine specimen of
old port
''NOw, can you guess what it cost
me ," said the host.
"Surely not" said Mr.. Webster,
81 only know that it is excellent"
"Well, now, | can tell you, for |
made q careful estimate the other
day. When | add the interest to
the first price, l find that it cost me
the sum of just one dollar and TWEEN
ty cents per glass ~
"GOOd gracious you don't say
SOP said Mr.. Webster; and then
draining his glass he presented it
again with the remark :
Fill it up again as quick as you
can, for | want To stop that con-
founded INTEREST,"

A RemedY for Dirorces.


Marry IN your own religion.
Never both be angry at once.
Never taunt with past mistake.
Never allow request to be re-
peated.
Eeta kiss be the prelude of a re-
Duke.
Let self-abnegation be the habit of
both.
81 forgot" is never an acceptable
excuse.
If you must criticise, lett be done
lovingly.
Make marriage matter of moral
Judgment.
Marry into a family which you
have long known.
Never make a remark at the ex-
pense of the other.
Never talk at one another, either
alone or in company.
Give your WarmeSt sympathies
for each others trials.
If one is angry let the other part
the lips only for kiss.
Neglect the whole world beside,
sooner than one another.
Never speak loud to one another
unless the house is on fire.
Let each strive to yield ofteneSt to
the wishes of the other.
Always leave home with loving
words, for they may be the last.
Marry into different blood and
temperament from your own.
Never deceive, forthe heart, once
mislead, can never trust wholly
again.
The very felicity is in the mutual
cultivation of usefulness.
1t is the mother who mOulds the
character and fixes the destiny of
the child.
Never find fault unless it is per-
fectly certain fault has been COM
mitted.
Do not herald the sacrifice you
make to each others tastes, habits
are preferences.
Let all your mutual accomoda-
tions be spontaneous, whole sOuled
and as free as air.
Consult one another in all that
comes within the experience, Obser-
walton or sphere of the other.
Those who marry for physical
characteristics or external consider
ations will fail of happiness.

Negroes" ana "Coiored People

'.NegrOes' and "COlOred People"
The editor of the Dayton (OhiO)
journal, who accompanied the
Hayes party in its tour through the
South, SAYS: at is much for the
colOred people that the naughty
whites call them not 'niggers,' but
'colOred people," This idea prevails
among the negroes. 1t is a gross
error, arising from false teaching.
They are Negroes, and no amount Of
nomenclature White-WaShing will
make them CaucaSians. When
they insist upon being called some
thing else than what they are, they
virtually acknowledge that they are
ashamed of their race-an acknOWl-
edgement which true pride would
prevent them from making even in
directly. Besides, in trying to eS-
cape from their race designation,
that they adopted title which is
misnOmer, a selecism for which they
may he excused on account Of ignOr-
ance, but there is no excuse for the
Intelligent white people who encOur-
age them in it, and who know bet
ter. They are not "cOlOred people"
They are black, and black is not
color, but the absence of all color.
They are, therefore, really no color
ed people. The true advice to them
would be, to stick to their race
name. 1t can be a term of reprOach
only because the race is either infe-
rior or degraded; and it will cease to
be so, i'm the first case, when they
prove that the race is not inferior,
or in the second, when they lift it
from its degradation.

DenIh is Birth.

No man who is fit to live need
fear to die. Poor faithless souls that
we are! How we shall smile at our
vain alarms when the worst has
happened! To us here death is the
most terrible word we know. But
when we have tasted its reality, it
will mean 10 us birth, deliverence,
a new creation of ourselves. 1t will
be what health is to the sick man.
1t will be what home is to the exile.
1t will be what the loved one given
back is to the bereaved. As we draw
near to it a solemn gladness should
fill our hearls. 1t is Gods great
morning lighting up the sky. Our
fears are the terrOrs Of children in
the night. The night, with its dark
ness, with its terrors, its feverish
dreams, is passing away; and when
we awake it will be into Gods sun
light.

London Special to the New York Herald.
SignOr Negri CristofOro, President
of the Italian Geographical Society,
writes TO the New York Herald and
the London Daily Telegraph, as fol-
lows:
"His Majesty, King of Italy, hon
oring the intrepidity of Henry NJ.
Stanley displayed in his journey
down the Congo, and viewing the
great consequences which must ensue
for commerce and civilization in
equatorial Africa, has bestowed up
on him a special gold medal. Have
the goodness to communicate to Mr..
Stanley this gracious determination
of His Majesty, acquainting him at
the same time that the medal and
the letter inclOSing il will be at once
presented through the Italian Geo
graphical Society, and sent to His
Maiesty'S ambassador in London,
to be handed to Mr.. Stanley when
he arrives in England"
The Herald'S correspondent at vi
emma telegraphs, under date of yes
terday, as follows:
"a plenary meeting of the Impe-
rial Geographical Society of Austria
was held last night. 1t was bril-
liant gathering of social and scien-
tific nOtabilitieS, and the chair was
occupied by NJ. HOchsteller. The
proceedings were opened by an adj
dress from Baron Hartmann, Vice
President Of the Society, on the sub
ject of Stanley's travels through
Central Africa. The distinguished
speaker, after minute survey of
the work accomplished by Stanley,
and the arduOus and almost insur-
mOuntable difficulties which met
him at every step, passed a glowing
eulOgium on him as an explorer.
He reviewed Stanley'S progress from
the beginning of his voyage down to
the latest discovery, dwelling in
touching terms on the meeting be-
tween Stanley and Livingstone, and
in conclusion expressed his admira-
tiOn for the two powerful organs of
public opinion which sustained the
burden of this triumphant expedi-
ton. During the address Baron
Kaufman was repeatedly inter
rupted by prolonged applause. \
motion was subsequently adopted
empowering NJ. HOchsteller to con-
graduate Stanley in the name of the
Imperial Geographical Society of
Austria as soon as he arrives in Eu-
rope, and at the same time cOmmu-
nicate to him the SOciety's high APP
probation of the great services rem
dered science and human progress

THE New York sun, speaking of
the "OutletS for labor and capita"
SAYS: "The Southern States are
now restored to self-goVernment;
they have the management of their
affairs in their own hands. The
fcrment and tho incassant biCker-
ing between opposing races, which
for 50 many years have been their
almost everyday history, are no
longer operative, and to-day it may
be safely said there is no part of the
country where law and order are
better maintained than there. Tn
der this changed condition of affairs,
capital and labor have a rare oppor-
tunitv. The former we know is
proVerbially timid, and the latter
rarely leaves old grooves of its own
NOlitiOn; but il will lee strange if
the inducements which these States
are now holding out, do not put
courage into the one and fresh en-
rerprise into the other. To assume

LIGHT.
BY WILLIAM r1rr PARKER,

From the. quickened, womb OF the primal
The sun rose bleak and bare,
TN Vove him a vest for his Ethiop breast
OF The threads of my golden hair
And when the broad tent Of the armament
I penciled the hue Of the matchless blue,
And spangled it round the stars.
1 painted the flowers OF Eden Bowers,
And their leaves of living greeny
Aud nline were the dyes in the sinless eyes
OF Eden s virgin queen; ~ -,
And when the fienti's art ON the trustful
Had fastened its mortal spell,
In the silvery sphere Of newborn tear
To the trembling earth fell
Their work of wrath had sped,
And the ark's lone crew, the tried and true,
Came forth among the dead.
With the wOndrOus CLEANS of my bridal
I babe their terrors cease,
As wrote on the roll of the storms dark
scroll
GODS covenant of peace.
Like pail at rest on senseless breast,
Nights funeral shadow slept
When shepherd SWANS ON Bethlehem's
plains
Then l flashed on their sight the herald S
bright
or Heavens retleeming plan.
As they chanted the morn OF a Savior Torn
JOY, JOY TO the outcast man!
Equal favor show to the lofty and low,
ON the Just and unjust / descend;
Fen the blind, whose vain spheres roll in
darkness and Tears,
Feel my smile, the best smile OF friend ;
Nay, the flower OF the waste by my love Is
embraced
As the rose in the garden of kings;
AT the crysaliS bier OF the worm / appear,
And 10! the gay butterfly wings.
The desolate morn, like a mourneF fOrlorn,
Conceals all the pride OF her charms,
TIL bid the bright hours chase the night
from her bowers
And lead her young day TO her arms
And when the gay rover seeks Eve for his
lover
And sinks to her balIny repOse,
wrap the soft rest by the zephyr-fanned
West
In curtains of amber and rosei
From my sentinel sleep by the night dreaded
deep
gaze with unslum boring eye,s
When the cynOsure star of the mariner

And guided by me through the merciless sea,
Though sped by the hurricanes wings,

To the haven home safely he brings.
