" Let Whisky AlOne.o

Joe Brassell, who was recently living
at Coohesville, Tenn, delivered the fol-
lowing powerful temperance lecture
from the gallows: Gentleman and
ladies', 1 will speak few words to you
if you will give me your attention I am
here to-day, ard for what is it? For
murder. What were the causes of it l.?
They were whisky, hard seeking after
money, and association with drunken,
reckless boys and there are hundreds
here to-day. 1 will give you some adj
vice, boys: Let whisky alone. Above
all things, have nothing to do with whis-
ky. Take warning by this. 1t brought
me here in this fix, and you are all La
BILE to be put in this condition by fol-
lowing the same course. Young men,
take warning and be good to one anoth-
er. Go to meeting and keep the Sabbath
holy. Farewell to you all. Meet me

J. Mad. Wells on the War.Path.

J. Madison Wells, President of tn
Louisiana Returning Board, writes to
the Philadelphia Times, giving notice of
his intention to bring suit for defama-
ton against it on the ground that it
has charged him with defalcation and
receivieg stolen mules. His note
reads:
New ORLEANS, March 20, 1878.
To the Editor Of the Philadelphia Times Newspa-
per, philadelphia. Pa:
Before instituting suit against you for defa-
nation, 1 send my reply to your scurrilous ar

The reports going the rounds Of the news

That Fatal Number.

At Wyoming, N. Y, the old supersti-
ton about the fatal number ID is ac-
cepted as q cardinal doctrine of faith.
Last season charming young lady, who
had recently graduated from a seminary,
visited some friends at their summer
residence, "Hillside." One day, on
returning from ride, she found twelve
persons at the table, and, as she took
her seat, one of her friends reminded
her that she made the unlucky thirteenth,
and laughingly suggested that she had
better sit at side-table by herself.
The suggestion was unheeded, and, a
few days afterward, she was taken sick
and was soon on her death-bed. The
day before her death her physician oc
cupied her seat and happened to be the
thirteenth at the table. A few days
afterward brother of the hostess, a
Southern planter, entered the dining
room, where Twelve men were seated.
The guests begged him to break the
spell by occupying seat at another
table, but he laughed at their nervous
ness and persisted in remaining with
them. On his way home, few weeks
later in the season, he was taken sick
and died. Quite recently, moreover
the physician who was in attendance
upon the young girl, and who was him
self the ill-starred thirteenth, has dice
in Elmira.

Terrible Realization of a Dream.

The family of Mrs. Mcconnell, of this
town, have suffered in q heart-rending
manner during the past fortnight Jesee
Mcconnell, brakeman, was killed ten
days ago at Harwich by falling between
the cars, and was brought home terribly
mangled. The mother took it to heart,
and it was feared she would lose her
reason. After partially recovering, she
dreamed she saw two collins, in which
were her two sons, and fearing for the
safety of the other, also brakeman, she
telegraphed to him, asking if he was all
right, and wishing him to come home.
He replied that he was all right and
would be home in the morning, and in
tended to quit railroading. On his re-
turn trip he was crushed to death COUP
ling cars at Brigden. The body was
brought home the night before last, and
buried yesterday. The two daughters
are almost helpless, and it is not expect
ed the. mother will recover her reason.
The deepest sympathy is felt for the
family in their terrible calamity, and is
being manifested in tangible way by
the citizens generally.-.St. Thomas Cor.

Fashion Notes.

Pocket handkerchiefs are very small.
Black satin is becoming fashionable
again.
Gold trimmings never look well by
daylight.
Back draperies grow beautifully less
and less.
No overskirts are seen on fashionable
costumes.
Belts are worn with pleated or Grecian
corsages.
Pleated waists with and without yokes
are coming in vogue.
Cutaway jackets will be worn by
young women this spring.
There will be much costlier toilets
worn at the balls and receptions given
after Lent than were at those before the
penitential season.
Long, narrow trains, either perfectly
square at, the end or rounded to de-
scribe 1ozenge pattern on the floor,
are de riguer at the moment.
Ball dresses are either long trained
fourreaux, or Princess or Empress
dresses or if made with basques they
simulate the dress in one piece.
Gauntlet gloves, with the monogram
on the back of the hand embroidered in
silk and picked-out gold threads, are
among the novelties in gloves.
Fringes of raw silk chenille, with
strands of beads of the same color, ap-
pear on many of the handsomest ball
dresses intended to be worn after Lent.
Crepe batiste is one of the novelties
for summer dresses. It is thin linen
fabric woven in Grape effects. 1t comes
in all delicate shades of pure bright
color for evening wear.
Opera mantles of raw silk bourette,
in delicate shades of color, are threaded
with lines of gold and silver, and
trimmed with chenille and gold and sill
yer fringes to match.
Wide galloons of silk, and velvet, and
plush mixtures are seen on ball toilets
in delicate colors, shot with threads of
silver and old, or seeded with Roman
pearl or fine glass beads.-Neto York

Half.Breed BuffalOes.

The apprehensions hitherto enter
tanned regarding the untamable nature
of the buffalo, and that the Characters
tics of this branch of the bovine family
would be certain to crop out through in
definite crossings, appears to be totally
groundless. The buffalo, or more prop
erly the American bison, is being used
extensively in portions OF the State of
Nebraska, bordering on the wild plains
of the far West, for stock purposes, and
half and quarter-bred females of the
bison family yield all abundant supply
of rich milk. A remarkable feature con-
nected with this cross of the bison with
domestic cattle is the fact that the color
of the bison, and the majority of its dis
tinguishing characteristics, disappear
after successive crossings. It's outward
conformation is also, in process of time,
in a great degree lost sight of. The
bunch or lump of flesh covering the long
spinous process of the dorsal vertebr@
becomes diminished with each success
i've cross, and will, doubtless, disappear
entirely as the original type becomes
merged in the domestic animal.-TurJ,

Failures i'm New York.

The record of failures reported in this
city during the past month shows de-
cided increase, both in the number of
mercantile misfortunes and also in the
aggregate amount of liabilities, as CON-
pared with the preceding month. In all
there were eighty-five failures reported
during March, against sixty-seven in
February, being an increase of eighteen
for the month. The total amount of
liabilities on account of the March fail
ures, including that of the Six Penny
Savings Bank, foot up to about 81, 000,-
900, in round numbers, with assets val
ued at about SO, 10000 The total liza

The United states Has More Than TwIc,
~ Many Medical Mon to the square Ro.
n ANY Other Country

The United states Has More Than Twice
~ Many Medical Men TO tho Square Rod
As Any other Country.
(From the London Globe.l
From statistics that have recently
been published, it would seem that there
are many parts of the world presenting
greater scope than Britain for the medi-
cal profession, and very few presenting
less-if, at least, any opinion may be
formed by the simple process of putting
the numerical strength of the profession
in each country of the globe against its
population. Here, in Great Britain, we
are told that we have something ap-
preaching 10, 800 doctors, which, with
population of about $4,000, 900, would
give medical man for about $50 peo-
pie. The German empire, with its A.
600, 900 odd, has but 1860 doctors, or
one for 3, 900 inhabitants. At first sight,
therefore, it might be thought that Ger
many is the place for good, large prac-
tees. Obviously, however, it would be
necessary to take into consideration the
normal condition of health among the
Germans. Austro- Hungary, it SCENE
has rather more than our population, and
considerably less than our number of
medical men. Its population is nearly
SO, 900, 900, and it has something under
IA, 500 doctors, or one to every $500
people. The Celestial empire, unfort-
unately, does not figure in the list II
would be very interesting to know how
many of the easy-going, simple-living
Chinese one doctor can suffice for, aided
by the signs of the zodiac and various
potent charms. Nor have we any facts
bearing on the Russian empire, where
it is to be feared of late that medical
and surgical skill have been at a
rather distressing premium. France
seems to be scarcely 80 well supplied
with medical strength as we are. The
population is something over 80, 900,
600, and their medicos about 10000, or
one for every l, 800 or 30 of their popu-
lation. But of all the countries on the
face of the earth of which we have
knowledge in these matters, the United
States would seem to be the most TEEN
ing with the disciples of Esculapius.
With population mastering some 45,
900, 600, the Yankees have no less than
SO, 1888 doctors, or one for 700 people.
This, it will be seen, is about two. and-a-
half times the relative strength of the
profession in France, and three-and-a-
half times that of the Austro- Hungarian
empire. Whether that country has an
over-supply, or whether the others are
wofully neglected in this matter, We
cannot say, but it would seem as though
one or the other alternative must be the

The Zuni Indians.

An Arizona correspondent writes
The Zuni Indians are located in New
Mexico, few miles east of the Arizona
line. They are an industrious, economi-
cal people; are kind and hospitable to
strangers, live almost wholly within
themselves, raise cattle and sheep, weave
blankets and cloth Tor their own cloth

the entrances being in the top story,
which they enter by means of ladders
which they take up after them at night,
and then consider themselves secure
from enemies without, and, 80 far as the
rude implements of war the Indians use
are concerned, are undoubtedly correct.

Deciding q Bet.

In September, 1876, Samuel Leonard
made wager with Gen. Davis, at Lib
ty, Ind, that Tilden would be elected.
The bet was made in this way Leonard
was to sell Davis wagon, valued al
1927, for s. if Hayes should be elected,
and $40 if Tilden should he elected.
Davis took the wagon, and deposited a
note for 81 900 with Henry Hustled, cash.
Ter of the national bank, Hustled prom
Using to pay Leonard $40 if Tilden was
elected. After the election Leonard
brought suit to recover the $40, claim
ing first that Tilden was fairly elected,
and obtained judgment on the technical
ity that he was not present en- the day
when Davis deposited the note, and
was consequently not party to the con-
tract. Davis will take an appeal to the
Indiana Supreme Court.

The Growing CrOps.

The statistician of the Agricultural
Bureau at Washington has completed
his estimate of the condition and pros
poets of the crops for the next season
The reports from 700 correspondents of
the bureau show that the area under
cultivation for cereals, which has in
creased 80 per cent. during the past ten
years, will, during the present season.
exceed in acreage any former year. The
winter-wheat crop, which amounts to
six-tenths of the total crop. will. from
present appearances and with a favora
BILE season, yield 800, 600, 900 bushels.
The corn yield, it is thought, will not be
less than 1900, OOO, 900 bushels.
