Com to the Point.

The controversy between the Democrat
and correspondent of that paper signing
himself "a Lacquer" continues with una
bated zeal on either side, but neither party
seems to be making much Roadway in con
vincing the other that he is in the wrong.
"a Lacquer" lodges the point at issue, and
instead of meeting it fairly and stating
what the League is in favor of as regards
the city debt writes by the column concern
ing questions which have been dead aad
buried for years by reason Of decisions rem
dered by the court of last resort. All dis
eussions as to any pretended informaity or
fraud in the original issue of The bonds is
a waste of time and space. The legality of
the bonds and the liability of the city
therefor have been established, and from
the decision there is no appeal Now, the
vital and only question is, how shall the
opposition be met? Shall it be comprom-
sed or repudiated? Will the people agree
upon some plan of settlement and make a
proposition which all will abide by and be
satisfied with, or will they not? Let ga
Lacquer come squarely to the point and
say what plan of settlement, if any, he has
to offer. II can all be embraced within a
ten line item and thus the public will be
spared the further inflicton of his twaddle
about matters of the past which have no
pertinency whatever to the subject and we
will know precisely what, if anything, the
League proposes TO do. Come, now, Mr.
'Leaguer,' give us direct answer:
IS the Union League in favor of settling
the city debt upon any terms? If Yes,
state the terms. If No, say so.
Herein lies the gist of the whole matter,
and this is all that the public cares to know.
These questions answered, a conclusion can
at once be reached as to whether it is or.h
the while of any one to bother his brains
further about any settlement.

School Exhi bifiO7,.

Tuesday being the last day of school at
st. Demands, the Sisters Of the Holy Cross
thought they would give an entertainment
at Music Hall in the evening, in order to
show the parents and others what advance
meat the scholars have made. The scholars
formed in line at St. Bernard s school, under
the direction of the Sisters, and headed by
Murphy's Cornet Band, marched through
Main street TO the Hail. The exercises,
commenced with song of "Welcome" by
number of little boys. A play entitled
"Choice of Trades was performed very
creditably. The song 'sThis is Our Yearly
Jubilee" by class of little boys, who have
been in training only about two months
was received with much favor The .sSalu-
tatory" by Miss K. O'Reilly was very well
delivered. The May Pail Dance was really
the most amusing feature of the evening
entertainment, but want OF space prevents
US from going into more dc lis Suffice it
to say that the scholars did remarkably well,
and everyone must have been highly pleased
with the exercises. The hall was crowded
and it must have been gratifying to the
Sisters and their pupils to know that their
efforts were so well appreciated.

The "duel' of two members of the party
that accompanied Frank Leslie to the Pa

francisco the party were joined by Mrs.
Godfrey, handsome young widow lady
LIZ the party were Mr.. w. K Rice, neph-
ew of Governor Rice of Massachusetts, and
Mr.. Hamilton s. Wicks, formerly of Mil
waukee, who We'd with one another in their
stten tons to her. Practical jokers in the
company saw their opportunity, in which
Mr.. Rice joined. Wicks was devoted and
inclined 10 be little to earnest in his serv-
ices to the lady, and the rest thought he
ought to be punish ed for it. Mr.. Rice pre-.
tended to be incensed because Mr.. Wcks
secured the lady's photograph and borrowed
a pin from her. A duel was arranged, Mr.
Rice understanding the joke, but Mr.. Wicks
being in earnest. The seconds provided
blank cartridges for the parties, and at the
hrst lire MI. Rice staggered and fell, and as
he did so his second squeezed carmine ink
over him. The joke was afterward ex-
planned, and the crest fallen young Wicks
refuses to be comforted.

Regular Secretion Essential to Health

The regular secretion and flow of the
gastric juices and of the bile, which the use
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters promotes, are
effects which conduce materially TO the res
toratIon of health, when the system is dis
ordered Food is not digested in the dys-
peptic stomach because the gastric fluid is
deficient, superabundant or Initiated; the
liver becomes congested and the bowels
constipated because the supply of bile IS in
adequate or misdirected The Bitters rec
THY all this and removes every ill-conse-
quence of REPRESENTATION and bilious
irregularity. furthermore, it stimulates
the action Of the kidneys, by which impur-
tiles are so to speak, strained from the
blood, and any tendency in the urinary
organs to grow sluggish and disordered
counteracted. Whether it be used as q
means of regulating gastric or bilious secre-
ton, and relieving the overloaded bowels,
or to promote complete and, therefore,
healthful urinatiop, Hostetter's Bitiers may
be relied upon with confidence to accom-
plish the end in view

The Murphy Tel

The Murphy Temperance Movement.
The Murphy temperance movement, orig.
mated in New York by Francis Murphy, a
refor med drunkard, and which has spread
largely in new York, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Illinois and Michigan, is now being inau-
gurated with success in Wisconsin. The
plan combines several new features, which
though small seem to touch the chord of
human nature, and to succeed in producing
marked results, although, perhaps, more or
less temporary in their effect. The main
temperance through on wave of popular
;ty. 1t aims at making the temperance
side the popular side, taking advantage Of
the susceptibility of the American people to
be influenced by the popular expression.
The movement is simply this: A temper
ance pledge is printed upon card which
the applicant signs and retains in his own
po session. A badge consisting of small
blue ribbon is given him to be worn in the
UuLtOu uOiC constantly, 10
all whom he meets that he is E. pronounced
temperance man. The movement follows
very natural idea. The young ladies, Of
course very fond of ribbons, &C., will be
among the first to wear them. The young
men finally adopt them to avoid the slight
embarrassment occasioned by being sort of
lost sheep without them. The pledge reads
as follows:
! I. the undersigned, do pledge my word
and honor, God helping me, to abstain from
all intoxicating liquors as leverage, and
that will, by all honorable means, encour-
age o hers to abstain.
On the top of each card is printed in large
letters the memorable words of Lincoln
with malice towards none, aud charity
for all.
