of his wonderful skill with a rifle at Bea-
con Park, Boston. The performance
consisted of shooting glass balls, thrown
nigh in the air by the attend
ant, with Winchester rides. tChe first
trial, 129 balls we're successfully thrown
a distance Of 80 t6et, as they fell the
Doctor missed only nine. In this feat
he used four rifles. In 100 consecutive
shots ne broke % balls. Following ais
exhibition came trial at balls thrown
higher in the air, several Of them reach
ing a height over 100 feet, but in this
the rifeman vas not quite 50 successful,
as out OF 81 he missed 18, though the
conditions attending the trial were
somewhat difficult TO meet. Coin shoot
ing was next in order, pieces Of the var
ius denominations, from pennies to
quarters, being thrown into the air. In
this the mark5man was wonderfully
successful, hitting 20 out Of %. Several
of the coins that had been hit were col
leCted, one which had been ticked
slightly on the edge having been caught
in the marksmrn's 5 hand, and when eX-
amined were found to have been
penetrated by the bullets. The
Doctor varied his exercises with an oc-
casional shot at giant torpedoes, in
which shot ne was more than ordinarily
successful, cracking nearly every one
thrown up. A pencil was thrown into
the air and it came down in Two evenly
divided pieces cut by the bullet from the
Doctors rife. A glass bail was then
thrown high over the head Of the marks
man, who, after purposely missing the
object, twice in its descent succeeded in
breaking it. Balls were then thrown at
the Doctor from across the fence, and
without any great exertion he managed
TO break nearly every one. The best
feature of the entertainment was the
breaking of 100 glass balls out Of lI3 in
I minutes and 346 seconds, the marks
man using all four OF his rifles for the
feat. After this he exchanged his rifle
for a Parker shotgun, and resumed
shooting at glass balls, nearly every
shot that could be suggested being at
tempted. Balls were thrown in every
direction, high and low, many from the
shooter; and towards him, to the right
and TO the left. Two balls were tossed
Up together, the same number were
thrown in opposite directions, and in
nearly every case the marksman found
them ere they reached the ground.

The Conflict of the Ages.

AT the Chautaqua Assembly, in the
sermon by the Rev. Ira G.. Bidwell,
Of Buffalo, from Genesis ill.,, Is. he
said the struggle of the serpent
against God through the ages was
thrown in Ewes transgresSiop. i'm
Abie's murder, in Noah's drunken.
ness, in the killing of the Egyptians
by Moses, in David's adultery. and
at last by the crucitixion of Christ.
But three days after the high carni-
val OF hell was suddenly spoiled by
the news that Jesus had risen from
the tomb and had been seen upon
The streets. But the battle went on.
and the same conflict OF sin. schisIn.
and the clash Of personalities contin-
ued. Satan girded himself for the
last phase Of the conflict of the ages.
lie attempts to unsettle the faith of
individual en,and works by world
illness and skepticism. These two
are Satan'S right and left wings in
the conflict of the centuries and of
all time. Worldliness is temporized
religion, let down to the suffocatine,
level OF pride, fashion, ease, luxury,
selhshness Christianity in the thea
tire, ballroom, at the race course, at
the card table, at the wine cup; chris
tlanity making long prayers and de-
Vcurlng poor widows houses; chris
tianity with modified and mutilated
doctrines. The WOrldliness which is
in all our churches crucifes Christ
afresh. The skeptism of the French
and German is championed by
schools of American minnows that
swim in their wake. Rationalism is
infidelity gone to seed; its whole
drift is to kill the Lord Jesus Christ,
and to do it with Judas kiss. Never
was this Satanic activity 50 noisy or
ministry should let rationalism
alone, except on certain occasions. 1t
feeds on attention and opposition.
We can quietly sell out the ground
on which intideIity stands, as the
Roman senate sold the ground on
which Hannibal's victorious army
was encamped, and this can be done
in our prayer and Sabbath school
rooms. The cross will gain the final
victory Of this we are assured. 1t
must rise before us like Constantine's
vision. In hoe SigRO Cinces. Thank
God for a cross whose socket rests in
the empty sepulchre, whose head
rests in the heart of God, and whose
arms once burdened with the bleed
ing body Of the incarnate God, are
hencetorth strong enough to lift a
ransomed world out of sin and Satan
ic bondage into holiness and the
freedom of the ms of God.

TEMPERANCE DEPARTMENT.
The MOmentouS Question.

AT Temperance meeting lately
held in Baltimore, one of the speak,
ers very truthfully said Temper
ance Is momentous question. 1t is
more important than the labor ques-
tlon." He wanted the "Iaborer to
stand with him on the question, and
TO say that the rum traffic should be
done away with, and all of the work.

the rumseller for the building of his
palatial mansions and fine equipages

might have beon better employed in
searching out the means to get rid of
the greatest curse that now atfiicts
our land and degrades her millions
OF citizens. This one bane of the hu-'
man race more vitally affects the
condition of the people and is of far
more importance, in every phase,
than the labor question or any other
SUBJECT that agitates the public mind,
The pernicious effects, and dire con-
sequences, of the Incorporate use of
splrltuous liquors is felt in all the
varied ramificati0ns Of life, from the
high mountain to the low valley, i'm

cabin. Like Death it invades all

hected with the evil of drinking.
which claims the serious attention of
every laboring man, and that is the
lOlly and Wickedness of wasting hard
earned money for poison which
makes a man poor and poorer, but
enriches the vender.
In the daily walks of life these
facts are unmistakably presented to
the view of every one, and needs no
argument to prove that the man who
tratficS in liquor is made opulent by
the mpoverishmenl and degrada-
tion of his fellow man. Those who
m6sf tfme IN dissipation, is, general
ly, class of people who can least
afford it. The money expended for
this worse than useless beverage
places the means in the power of the
seller to build costly palaces and deck
himself in clustering jewelry, and af-
lords him the means of Satiating
every worldly desire that hls pom
pouS vanity seeks to diSplay,-While
he is travelling for his health or plea
sure, perhaps in some foreign land,
or enjoying the pleasures of visit
to some fashionable watering resort,
amidst gay society where his avoca-
ton is unknown, dressed in purple
and linen, the poor fellow who has
spent his last dime with him is conI-
PEELED to daily toll in the heated rays
of the sun or the piercing storms of
winter to earn scanty livelihood for
himself and suffering family. While
the rum seller with his plethoric
purse can luxuriate upon the richest
cream of the land, the family of the
unfortunate drunkark is crying for
bread. Oh! who can tell the misery
which this foolish and suicidal habit
has produced? These are plain
truths, and why is it that people will
persist in impoverishing themselves
and partaking of that which hastens
them to untimely grave Anapo-

The inquisitive heathen from the
farther Inds, or the inhabitant Of
another planet, who should happen
to find himself in North America at
this time and should read of the riots
in Canada, would undoubtedly be
greatly astonished to find that the
trouble is between two sects Of
Christians, each of which is breaking,
the heads of the other in pursuance
of what they conceive to be religious,
duty. The Roman Catholics and the
PrOtestants of Canada have been
shooting and beating each other. and
it seems that they have some notion
Of waging a war of determination.
1t might perhaps be in order to send
missionaries to them to teach the
primary doctrines of that theology
which inculcates peace and advises
men to live in harmony with eacb
other.

Whisky and Beer.

A statement from the Internal
Revenne Office, shows that the con-
SUMPTION of spirits in the United
States fell off last year about fourteen
per cent, and the consumption of
malt liquors increased about five per
cent. The American people last year
drank 1889, ,20l gallons of spirits less
than the year before, and drank
in their place 13,373,74l gallons of
beer. This is some encouragement
to the temperance cause, because
beer, it is believed, is not as injuri-
ours as whisky, and is less expensive.
The enormous amount OF drinks of
various kinds is astonishing. Is it
any wonder then that the cry of hard
times is hard over the land?
