A Decision by the Attorney Genera

A Decision by the Attorney General.
Washington, May 3.-The Attorney
General decides that the postmaster
cannot withhold from the mails letters
suspected to contain advertisements of
lotteries, for the reason that under the
revised statutes, except in case of let
tiers on which postage has not been pre-
paid, there is no power conferred on the
postmaster to withhold letters from the
mails. If the Postmaster General is
satisfied by evidence that any person is
conducting any fraudulent lottery
through the mails he may instruct the
postmaster at any Office at which reg
istered letters arrive, directed to any
such person, to return the letters to the
postoffice at which it was mailed.

which is said to have brought to view
veins of coal five feet in thickness,
was doubtless local shock occasioned
by the explosion of accumulated gasses
near the immediate surface of the coal;
otherwise it certainly would have been

A Daring Escape.

Last week one of the most daring leaps
ON record was made by George Glen,
prisoner held for burglary, at the Central
Police Station. The court room was on
the fourth floor, counting the basement as
one story On the east side there is a
small ante-room, in which prisoners are
kept during the time between the opening
of the court and their respective trials.
There is no granting TO the window, and it
is fifty feet to the solid pavement below.
Beneath it is an iron fence presenting a
row of pickets, on which any one falling
would be almost certain to be inpaled.
Glen was in the room with two other
prisoners, no officer being present. He ex-
pected to be called soon for trial on three
cbarges-burglary,.. larceny and assault and
battery. Glen said to the other prisoners,
:" am going TO get out of this" He
hardly said it before he threw off his over
coat, and pushing up the sash, sprang on
the window sill. His Mortified companions
called out "Hold on, you will be killed."
alt is as we'll that way as any," said Glen.
Rising to his full height aud grasping the
bottom of the sash, he placed his left foot
on the outermost end of the stone, and by
desperate effort swung his right arm and
foot out toward grated window that was
some five feet to the north.
Quick as cat he caught an iron of the
grating, but to do so was compelled to slip
his left hand from the sash, and depend on
precarious hold of the window frame.
His right foot struck the edge of the other
window, and then, by an effort of muscle,
he drew himself clear over to the other
window. just to the north of this second
window a water pipe of large size ran
down in the angle formed by the junction
OF the main station with one of the prisons.
Grasping this between his knees, Glen let
go his hold on the grating, caught the pipe,
and went down like streak of lightning.
He had hardly touched the stone step at
the bottom when he made a dart into
rear door of Zellehan's saloon, and dashed
into an alley by an opposite door, and ran
into Long street with the speed of the
wind. The jump and descent occupied
not over minute, and Glen was away al
most before the other prisoners could call
to an officer just outside the door. The
court adjourned, while the Judge and the
prosecutor went into the ante-room and
looked in vague ipcredulity at the windows,
the pipe and the heel marks on the stone.-

"Icannot Walk

without fluttering in my heart" is the
announcement made by many who have
oVer-worked their powers in quest of money
or pleasure, and who, in the meridian of
life, find themselves beyond the enjoyment
of the good things for which they have
sabored so long. They are invalids. To
all such the Peruvian Syrup is recommend
ed as An almost certain cure. Taken &C
cording to directions, it can do no injury
and will result in permanent good. This
is its experience for years. 1t is the ac-
knowledged tonic of the world, and it
seldom fails to supply appetite, strength,
good spirits and renewed health. AS a
tonic it is without peer. Ask your ply
sician and he will recommend it; go to

Moral Sentiment,

After the victories Of half CEN
fury, we at last confront moral foe
whose dominion is CO-eXtensiYe with
the abode and business Of man. What
pre-eNinent question is now before
the moral world? Is it personal
liberty? Domestic slavery has been
destroyed from continent and island.
The black man has risen to the dig
nifty and to the immunities Of man
hood. In our own country he stands
side by side with the Caucasian: and
whatever rights yet remain for him
to enjoy he will soon receive,
What remains now for us to do :?
What great cause is to engage the af-
fections, the zeal, the attention of
all good persons in the church and
out of the church? / hold that that
pre-. eminent cause is the cause of
temperance cause that carries its
interests to the abode of every man :;
for the evils of intemperance are CO.
extensive with the home of every
human being. Those evils are not
confined to our Republic. They are
felt through South America and Cen
trail America they are realized in
all the great capitals Of Europe; they
are experienced in Asia, Africa, and
the islands of the sea. Much has
been accomplished, but much re-
mains to be done. Some great facts
are worthy of our cognizance, be-
cause they have received the appro-
baton of every candid mind; and
first of all. the power and wisdom of
personal effort and moral suasion in
this great moral enterprise, | ques-
ton whether there are two persons
in any Christian land who disagree
touching the power and the practical
bility of persuading men by person.
al effort to abandon the intoxicating
cup.
The law Of limitation is as preya-
lent as law itself. This universe, from
atoms to worlds, is subject to law, land
atoms and worlds are subject to the
limitations of law. Absolute lib
erty does not exist in Gods universe;
it cannot co.exist with God as the
sovereign of the universe. There
fore, there must be limit to law.
What now remains to be accomplish
ed? The creation Of an intelligent
and permanent moral sentiment
touching this great cause for back Of
constitutions, and back Of laws, and
back of administrations, there lies a
moral sentiment which gives potency
10 law and authority to government.

Sign the Pledge and Keep It

Sign the Pledge and Keep 1t.
Sign the pledge, and keep it, and
you are free.
"Free from what shall | be free?"
Free from the folly, sins, and pen
alties Of drunkenness free from the
headaches and art-aches produced
by intoxicating drinks; free from the
duns Of creditors, the domestic mis-
cries, the pinching poverty, the spir-
it-crushing contempt, the ragged rep
utation, the terrible diseases, the re-
preaching conscience, the awful
death, the dreadful hereafter, and
the thousand nameless woes to which
the love and use of strong drink eX-
poses its victims.
"But never was in bondage to
that bad practice"
SO much the better. Therefore.
sign the pledge, and thus nail your
resolution to the mast, that you will
never he its slave.
If you would be healthy, content
ed, v1rtuous, useful, respected, the
pride Of your friends, the prop Of
your family, good neighbor, an
honest, worthy man; if you would
live comfortably, and die in peace
live beloved and die regretted-live
and die as a man, Christian ought
to die-then sign the pledge and
keep it.

This fair Republic Of ours would 60
to pieces, like a rope of sand, were ii
not for the existence and the sustain
ing of moral sentiment in this
country. l hold that this country is
not governed So much by law as it il
by moral sentiment. Moral Sent-
ment here is more potent than gov
mcnt itself. 1t is moral sentiment
that turns out the thieves and rob-
bers from your city governments.
Moral sentiment may be in minor
ity, but whenever moral sentiment
is aroused on the side of right, it as
sumes the proportion Of omnipo-
tence, and it is equal to any and ev-
cry emergency. WickcdnesS is al
ways cowardly. one Of the greatest
Of men has said, "rhe wicked flee
when no man pursueth," and one
gifted with Il genius as great, has said
on the opposite side,
Thrice armed is he who Ina, his quarrel just;
And he but naked, though locked up i'm steel,
Whose conscience with iniu~t ice is cor
rupted'
We wish, therefore, to create an
intelligent and permanent moral SEN
timent on two things: first, that in
Temperance is an evil, only evil, and
always evil, whether in the form of
moderate drinking OF in the form of
habitual drunkenness. We want to
create an Intelligent permanent NOR
al sentiment that civil law should be
on the side of this grand cause.
Where and how shall this sentiment
be created ?-Rer, j. p. A'eWnidn.

A Temperance Toast" at Sea.

The following graceful tribute to
woman" was delivered impromptu
by Captain r.. Kelso Carter, of Bal
timore, on board the steamer In
diana, from Philadelphia for Liver
pool, on the 10Th ult., at the close of
a debate on "Woman's Emancipa-
ton :"
Much has been said upon the sub
ject Of "Woman's Emancipation, "
but, after all, is she not emancipated
already? The hand that rocks the
cradle always swaps the sceptre in
fact if not in name. When the
Spartan mothers trained their sons to
steel, encouraged them in every sort
of warlike pastime, and said to them,
Come not back from the battle ex-
cept you come upon your Shield" the
nation became a nation of warriors,
and the rod of empire was held by a
military power that shook the world
beneath its trade. But when the
Christian mother Of to day teaches
her boy to be kind, to be gentle and
courteous. to be considerate Of the
feelings Of others, restraints in him
the natural uprising of the lee tulj0nis,
and incuIcates the grand principle
Of doing unto others as you would
have them do unto you, then, and
not till then, we find men covering
with some regard at least to the tenets
of humanity and justice; then, and
not till then, we find liberality, toll
Grafton and liberty. | would like to
propose toast tonight, although a
total abstinence man mysclt-a toast
to woman. To be drunk, not in
liquor of any kind, for We should
never pledge woman in that which
brings her husband reeling home to
abuse where he should love. and
cherish, sends her sons to a drunk
ards grave, and her daughters to
life of shame. Oh, no! not in that,
but rather in the Iifc-giving water,
pure as her chastity, clear as her in
buttons, bright as her smile, spark
ling as the laughter Of her eyes,
cheering as her consolation, strong
and sustaining as her love-in the
crystal water | would drink to her
that she may remain queen regnant
in the empire she has already won,
grounded deep as the universe in
love; built up and exercised in the
homes and hearts of the world ]
would drink to her the full blown
flower of creations morning, Of
which man was but the bud and
blossom, to her who in childhood
clasps our little hands and teaches us
to lisp the first sweet prayer to the
Great All-Father, who come to us in
youth with good counsel and advice,
who in manhood meets our heart
yearnings with the full fajthfulness
of conjugal love, and whose hand
when our feet go down into the
shadow sm0oths the rough pillow of
death as none other can to her who
is the flower of flowers the pearl of
pearls, Gods latest, best and bright
estgitftO man-Woman, peerless pure
sweet, royal woman.

1t is getting to be annoying to hear
men about three weeks old in the
Temperance cause say : 81 am oppos-
ed to all prohibitory laws. You can
never stop men from drinking by
legislation. Moral suasion and the
Temperance pledge must do the work
all else is a failure" Father Mat
thew who devoted his life to the
cause, and pledged more persons than
any other man who ever lived, said
at the close: 1.-THE principle of pro-
hibition seems to be the only safe
and certain remedy for the evils of
intemperance. This opinion has
been strengthened and confirmed by
the hard labors of years in the tenn
porance cause"
