ing books, bedding, curtains, cloths
ing, all sorts of combustibles on the
floors, and after IN .ominous pause,
the fire burst from the heaps, palpi-
tating and frightening, till in q very
short timo the windows began to
glow like openings in wall of flame
AS the building burned, tho rioters
withdrew, their last act before leav-
ing the music room being to throw

FRIENDS IN NEED.
Az with q wild yell tho rioters dis
appeared, mon were heard moving
stealthily behind tho fence which
they began to tear down. They
proved to be friends who broke a
gap in the fence and pulled the fu-
gitives through as noiselessly as
might be; then they stumbled
down through n potato fold to a
Mr.. Cuttor's house After waiting
here while in full sight of tho blaz
ing ruin-Sistcr Mary John relaps-
ing into dclirium-th host hur-
ried them away, for the mob was on
tho Superior's trail. Nearly mile
away, up Winter Hill, they halted
and knocked at several substantial
dwellings, but no one would open
or even answer. Finally, as they
wero about to move further, Il night
capped old gentleman, Mr.. Joseph
Adams, bobbed his head out of the
window, took them in, locked the
doors, put out tho light, and when
tho mob went by seeking intclli-
gcnco Of the nuns hiding place, did
some excellent dramatic "business,'

and was bantcring the girls. Feel

found her snuff box, and her face
Enlightened. "Old friend, T didn't
forgot you, then" she said, But
the box was empty. "If only had
n clean pocket handkerchief aud some
snuff" she said, II should be
happy"
While this terrible scene was being
enacted by q body Of a hundred men,
mostly iiromen, some two thousand
mon, old and young, of all condi-
tions, stood quietly by and looked
on, aiding and abctting tho rioters
because they did nothing to hinder
them. The occurrence caused
great deal of excitement, but no
decisive stops were talk on to punish

ever received pay for the property

MIsrepresenta tion OF the Local 0p-
ton Law.

1t is charged that If the prohibition
law be carried IN this county no intox-
icating liquor Of any kind can be given
away, or in any way used socially with
out the party whe thus gives away the
liquor being liable to the fine.
The law does not make the giving
away OF liquors an ofense. When the
law becomes effective in this county,
anyone can have liquors Of any kind
in his house or in any public place, and
give it away to whomsoever he may
wish, and there is no penalty for Civ
ing it away.
Article 16, section 20, Constitution,
says;
1.-The Legislature shall, at its first
session, enact law whereby the quail
flied voters of any county, Justices
precinct, town or city, by majority
vote, from time to time, may deter
mine whether the sale of intoxicating
liquors may be prohibited within the
prescribed limits"
The passage of the law was obliga-
tory, while it extends TO preventing the
sale Of intoxicating liquors only, and
MT 10 tie 9i0ing apay.
The law says plainly that the election
shall be held 10 determine whether the
sale Of intoxicating liquors and medi-
Gated bitters producing intoxication
shall be prohibited. There 10 no cleo
tion that can be held determining that
liquors cannot be given away. The
question Of giving away liquors Is not
involved except in ''eyading the pro-
Al 4. a.
law reads: when any such election
has been held, and the result has been
in favor of prohibition, and the afore-
said court has made the order declar-
ing the result, and the order Of prohi-
bition, and has caused the same 10 be
published, as aforesaid, any person OF
persons who shall thereafter, within
the prescribed bo1nds Of prohibition,
sell, exchange or give away, with the
purpose of evading the provisions OF
this act, any intoxicating liquors what
soeyer or in any way violate the pro-
visions of this act, shall be subject 70
prosecution, etc."
A gentleman who gives bis friends
wine or other liquors a. an act OF hos
pitality will not be regarded as eyad-
ing the law prohibiting only the sale OF
liquor. II barkeeper keeps cigars
and liquors. he may hold out that be
sells only cigars, and after selling . ci-
gar at twenty-five cents be may give
the party who buys the cigar g drink
of whisky. This is the character of
evasion the law contemplateA Beer,
wine, cider, whisky, brandy and every
other class Of liquors can be gi0ea array
in public or in pnvate, and used n
weddings. dinner parties and on every
other hospitable or festive occasion,

PROF. JOHN A. MYERS, of Irvington,
Indiana, conducts a scientific expedi-
ton into Texas. What is very funny
about the programme of the students
and professors - there are thirty OF
forty of them ana eight or ten girls
is the statement of the concluding par
agraph, which tells that
"The healthful upland prairie re-
gion of Northern Texas has been Sc
lected as promising more that is new
and interesting than any other part of
the country easily accessible, with COM
paratlvelY little of the discomfort of
the Southern summer"
The delights of Southern spring and
summer are only to be found on the
plains and mountains of Central and
Southern Texas. If Prof. Myers were
as we'll informed in reference to eli
matte as archaeological facts he would
never have pensed such a paragraph,
and we are inclined to believe that
some less learned and more practical
leader might be found for such an ex
pedition. Meanwhile, it becomes tho
duty, as it will be the pleasure, OF
every town and community in Texas tc
welcome with every incident of gener
Gus hospitality the learned professors
and their pupils, and there is hardly
any defensible necessity for the return
to the old States of the ten fair spin.
sters who accompany the expedition.

THE DOCTORS AND WHISKY.

The International Medical Congress,
the highest medical body in the world,
held its last session at Philadelphia, in
September, 1875. The official report
of its proceedings on the sixteenth of
that month states: The following is
the report from the section on medi-
cine, on the paper of DR.. E. Hunt, on
'Alcohol in its therapeutic relations as
a food and a medicine:
First-Alcohol Is not shown to have
definite food value by any of the
usual methods of chemical analysis or
physiological investigation.
Second-Its use as q medicine is
chiefly as a cardiac (relating to the
heart) stimulant and often admits of
substitution.
Third-As medicine it is not well
fitted for self-prescription by the laity,
and the medical profession Is not ac-
countable for such administration or
for the enormous.evils resulting there
from.
Fourth The purity of alcoholic
liquors is in general not SO we'll assured
as that of articles used for medicines
should be. The various mixtures when
used as medicine should have definite
and known composition and should not
be interchanged promiscuously.
Please note that this supreme au-
thority says that alcohol is not known
to have food value, and that its prin-
cipal use as a medicine is to stimulate
the heart, not to create power by
nutrition, but to use up the capital of
the body with unnatural rapidity, and
even for this purpose something else
might generally be substituted.
DR.. Willard Parker, very eminent
name among physicians of America,
says: "Alcohol has no place in the
healthy system; but is an irritsnt
poison, producing a diseased condition
of body and mind"
DR.. Willard Parker, of New York,
in an address to the American Associa-
ton for the Cause of Inebriates, asks: /:
''What is alcoholic The answer is, a
poison. It is so regarded by the best
writers and teachers of toxicology. l
refer to Ortila, CristiIon and the like,
wEo class it with arsenic, corrosive sub
Innate and prussic acid. Like these
poisons, when introduced into the sys-
tem, it is capable of destroying life
without acting mechanically. Intro
duced into the system it induces gen.
eral disease, as we'll marked as inter-
mittent fever, small pox, or lead pol
son." In public address the same dis
tinguished gentleman declares that
'one-third of all the deaths in the
city of New York are the result, direct
ly or indirectly, of the use of alcohol !;
and that within the last thirty eight
years 100, 900 persons in that city have
died from its use, either by themselves
or their parents" In letter to Rev.
DIR. Patton, DR.. Parker says: 'Alco-
hol is the one evil genius, whether in
wine or ale or whisky, and is killing the
race of men. Stay the ravages of this
one poison, alcohol, the king OF pol
sons, the mightlest weapon of the devil,
and the millennium will soon dawn"
The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1877-03-15

IT will be remembered that when
the army and navy appropriation bills
passed the House a provlso was ap-
pended declaring that neither the army
nor the navy should be used to sustain
the Packard and Chamberlain govern
ments ia Louisiana and South Caro-
lima. The Senate refused to pass the
bill in this shape, and we had supposed
that Congress would be speedily con-
vened to devise a remedy. Very GER
:ainly, after all that we have seen of
President Hayes, it is confessedly a
misfortune that the Congress proposed
to restrict his rights and powers in this
behalf. If the Democratic House had
anticipated such an inaugural as that
which he pronounced, no limitations
upon his authority would have been
imposed, and, when reconvened, the
House must apologize, by resolution or
otherwise, for its ignorance of the mans
seeming character and asserted policy.
Here We have the real President of to-
day declaring his purpose, whether
the Congress and people approve OF
not, to withdraw all Federal soldiers
from the South, and yet the Democrat
ic House, only ten days ago, anticipat.
ing the practice by Hayes of the fol,
lies and crimes which Morton and
Blaine would approve, SO manacled the
hands of the President that the inva.
sion of any State would be impossible.
Let the House meet and apologize.
Hayes, the candidate for the presiden
cY, was one man; Hayes, the president,
is quite another. The candidate Of {
party is a wholly different character
from the chosen chief magistrate of 1
country. No patriot has recognized
these differences more thoroughly, il
seems, than Mr.. Hayes, and the House
and the press of the country should
recognize the fact
