A Very Sad Story,

John B. Cough tells the following:
"a minister of the Gospel told me
one of the most thrilling incidents l
have heard in my life. A member
of his congregation came home for
the first time in his life intoxicated,
and his boy met him upon the door
step clapping his hands and exclaim-
ing, Papa has come home = He
seized the boy by the shoulder,
swung him around, staggered, and
fell in the hall. That minister said
to me, Il spent the night in that
house. l went out barred my brow

there was his wife in strong convul-
sions, and he asleep A man about
thirty years of age asleep, with Il
dead child in the house, having a
blue mark upon the temple where
the corner of the marble steps had

Influence of Women.

Mrs. Van Colt, the great evange-
list, says, 'if intemperance is ever
driven from our land, that it would
be through the influence of women
that they WELD mighty scepter for
good or evil. 1t is woman that feels
the evil of intemperance the most.
1t destroys the very citadel of her
happiness. Men are so trammelpd
by pecuniary interests and by the
ties of party that they seem helpless
in the struggle againt this giant evil
of the age" Mrs. Van Colt thinks
men should no longer delay, but call
for the reserves, the wives and
mothers, the sisters and daughters,
of those who have wept in their
helplessness during all the years that
have not brought them relief.
Weman's countenance and aid will
tend in great degree to advance the
cause of temperance, and as they are
the most interested in crushing the
evil of temperance, it is hoped the
woman of America, like those of the
Revolution, will exert their IN
fuence against a worse slavery than
existed at the "times that tried mems

We are not sufficiently well ac-
quainted with the effects of either to
judge of the relative merits of beer
and whiskey as moral agencies or to
realize their value as means of grace
Persons largely interested in the
manufacture and sale of lager, how
ever, contend that it is much better
if men will drink-that they drink
of the milder than the stronger fluid.
This is about as far as the boldest adj
vocate has publicly gone. 1t remain
ed for certain editors, addicted to the
use or pecuniarily interested in the
general consumption of ardent spir-
its, to find an attribute in beer that
we never suspected and a virtue in
drunkenness heretofore entirely over
looked by the miserable fanatics who
do not take their daily sanctification
even with sugar or water in it.
These apostles of the new dispen
sation deny that drunkenness is
drunkenness" and that the effect of
immoderate drinking is disastrous
upon morals and society. They have
discovered that mans normal condi-
ton is and should be intoXication !;
they are ready to throw down the
gauntlet in the face of all moral, re-
ligious and industrious people, and
contend that the chief and only end
and aim of man is to drink they
will not permit their new creed to be
doubted in any respect under pain of
misrepresentation; they are realiz-
ing that our criminal courts are bar
barous relics of a fanatical age; our
civil statutes should be mod
flied to fit the new religion and the
old rusty moral law entirely eX-
plunged. Men, they argue, have
never heretofore known what was
good for them. We haye urged in
duStrous, thrifty, sober and chris
tian lives upon the people, but they
attempt to prove that that is all
wrong and the world would have
reached nobler and higher plane Of
moral, intellectual, social and pro
gressive life if it had compelled by
law every man, woman and child to
drown their woes in the cup Of hi
larity, and stimulate their brains
and muscles by liberal potations.-

Sunday School and Temperance.

At the State Convention of Sunday
school Teachers held at Albany last
week, the question of temperance
was not introduced till late hour,
and it had only limited time. One
gentleman took the high ground that
the Sunday School had nothing to do
with temperance. We are glad that
he is not the final authority. When
things return to the old order, in
which temperance is excommunica-
ted from religion, from churches and
Sunday Schools, then it will be time
to evolve some new movement as
undertaken for disposing of the dead
bodies Of both churches and Sunday
schools. Light once given establishes
the standard of duty.-NeU York

ture to prohibit this traffic, but that wise body
practically refused 10 listen to the petition.
Disguised with their trifllng Legislature, the
people OF Vernon organized themselves into
an association for the protection Of their own
interests, and resolved to take the law into
their own hands In future. The pronunciamen-
to Of the vigilant society, just Issued, declares
that no cattle from Texas. Arkansas, Mexico
! or Indian Territory shall be allowed In the
county Of Vernon; the introduction OF cattle
from these States and Territories will be pre-
vented, "peaceably If VIC can, forcibly II we
must" Sub-organizations have been formed
In every township OF the county, and the
greatest unanlmity and enthusiasm on this
question prevails throughout Vernon. A
band Of masked farmers paraded through
the county few days since, and lyncbed
o dissipated bull Of supposed Texan ancestry.
Threats are current that other Texas cattle
will be treated in q similar manner lynched
to the nearest maple-if they do not leave ut
once.
Lynch law is Of American origin; 1t was
invented, encouraged and developed on our
own soil; but old as this law is, and 1t
dates from the glorious revolutionary days
when the patriotic Col. Lynch hung persons
suspected Of Toryism without the formality
or trouble Of trial. 1t has only been within
the present year that Its full application to the
lower order of animals has been recognized.
This extension Of the principles OF lynch
law to dogs and other nuisances should be re-
ceived by oil with delight, as affurding an easy
relief to a long suffering people, We would
state here-not, however. by way Of sugges-
tion-that there are one hundred thousand su-
periluous dogs In New Orleans that summer,
ileas and hydrophobia are near; that poisoned
sausages are not always successful, etc. We
leave the rest to down trodden people.

Ii looks very much as II Massachusetts,, the
greatest enemy of whisky after Blaines tenn
perate State, had found prohibitory laws fail
Jre Certainly the latest whisky legislation ri
the Bay state is In now line, designed not to
punish the desperate wretch who dares i'm
bibe o glass Of punch, but to shame him
from his base and degrading practices
into morality and sobriety. This law,
Just adopted by the Legislature Of
Massachusetts, provides that liquor saloons
shall have no curtains In front, doors, win
dows or any other contrivances TO conceal the
persons taking drink within. Saloons must
all front on the street. and have the bar ex-
posed to view, so that passers-by can
see those who are drinking at them.
II Is thought this provision will drive
many persons from the saloons who would
otherwise patronize them sanctimonious
gentlemen and pious statesmen, who talk
against whisky all day long, and slip into a
bar.room on the sly at night to get their
toddy. 1t is even suggested that, In time, the
principle on which the law Is based might
be extended by requiring every bar-room to
publish in the papers list Of the gentlemen
QAbrOHlzluk IL tHe pleNIOuS uayb Wlth sho oAtiot
number Of drinks INDUCED in by each OF
them.
The open to-view saloon law has not yet
zone into effect in Massachusetts,, but will
within O few weeks, when we shall have an
opportunity Of studying the exact amount OF
drinking and hypocrisy prevalent In the State
Most Of the State papers seem very well
pleased with the law, and assert that 1t will
prove far more Injurious to the liquor interests
than the Noffett register. Evidently the
minds OF our statesmen run In the direction
Of whisky; number Of our State Legis-
latures having devoted at least two-thirds
OF their working time to measures for tax
ing, regulating and abolishing liquor saloons
Whisky Legislation is the only kind OF leg
islation the country Is getting just now, and
we are inclined to believe that it is getting a
little too much Of it.

III England goes TO war with Russia. as the
cable swears positively on off days, she will
find her military strength taxed to the ut
most, as she has already a fight on her hands.
For several months past Great Britain and
the Caffres have been wagiDg o fierce ana
bloody war, and more than once the English
forces have been defeated and routed. The
latest news from the Cape OF Good Hope OF
the battle OF Krantzes, fought In the latter
part of February, shows that England finds
victory over the half-cla aborigines OF South
ern Africa no easy matter.
Al Krantzes the English forces attacked the
Uafrrps, who were strongly entrenohed In their
mud holes, but were compelled to retire, hav-
inn expended all their ammunition The
English loss was quite heavy, Moshesh, a
loyal headman, being cut to pieces and three
other natives wounded. The capture OF q
flock Of insurgent sheep the next day, how
ever, redeemed the furnished honor OF the
English arms and the British forces went into
summer quarters, well satisfied with the re-
suit Of the campaign.
It Ii supposed that 1t Is q knowledge OF this
war, Ia which England Is already engaged,
that has made Russia adopt the course she Is
now taking. Since the Eastern question has
grown 80 threatening, Great Britain has
shown disposition to make peace with the
(,afIlps and has offered them liberal terms In
rum and beads. The matter just now at
issue between the two powers Is, whether the
Gaffres shall have three or four tons of beads
I ii lis not likely that England will show her
hand In the Eastern question until she has
pacified the Cafrres.

To o carnival Of suicides has succeeded q
carnival Of lynchings The hanging of a muir
derer In West Virginia a few days ago started
the ball, and Since that time q hundred miser-
able wretches have been strung up between
earth and heaven, with scarcely time enough
given them for short prayer.
Among the latest episodes of this kind, the
lynchings that occurred last week at Bergen
Heights, In the State of New Jersey, are ex-
traurdnary for the number Of the victims and
the GOODNESS and indifference with which many
newspapers have treated the matter. On
Saturday night large body OF masked
men appeared on the streets Of Bergen
Heights. armed with clubs, pistols, etc
Marching through the town. this mob
dsarmed the policemen on duty, and then
proceeded to lynch its victims. The Mortified
citizens Of the town awoke next morning
to find scarcely a lamp-poet in the town
without it's dangling corpse. Some OF
the New York papers investigated the mat
ter, and found the following excuse given for
the outrage. On Thursday ferocious dog
attacked little girl in Bergen Heights, and
mangled her severely and dangerously. That
night number OF leading citizens met and
organized vigilant association for the dis
sconragement OF dogs. On Saturday, masked
and armed, these vigilants marched through
the town, which they left entirely dogless.
Not a howl now disturbs the silent midnight
ali of Bergen Heights, and burglar can go
through the whole town without the least in
terference, disturbance or annoyance.
