She Did Right.

1t happened not long since, at q
farm residence near -, not a
thousand miles from Cambridge.
The young man and young woman
had known each other from child
hood and were prominent in society
circles. The wedding guests were
assembled, and the loving couple
were on the floor. The minister pro-
pounded the usual questions to the
bride as to whether she would take
the man for her husband, &C., when
much to the surprise Of all present,
she answered mo" Thinking he
misunderstood her, the minister
asked the question again and again
she answered mo" This stopped
the ceremony and the story came.
The young man, addicted to the use
of intoxicating liquors, had promised
reform if the lady would promise to
marry him and had signed the
pledge. He had been on trial for
months but, as the bride turned to
HIM as they stood side by side before
the minister, she caught the odor Of
whiskey on his breath, and detected
signs Of incipient intoXication. She
closed the extraordinary scene by
stating that she could not trust her
future to man who had broken
promise so solemnly made. Expos
tulations and entreaties were all in
vain. The wedding did not take
place. - Can1dridge, (Md.l Chronicle.

A class of Iegalized desperadOes are
traversing the United States, and are
making dreadful havoc of the lives
and property of olda young They
have already slain more of the in
habitants than fell during the last
war, and have wasted more substance
than would pay the whole national
debt. Their strength is invincible.
Their mode of attack is to strike peo-
pie on the head, then instantly trip
up their heels, pick their pockets, and
continue their blows on the head un-
til they have quite beaten out their
brains. Though they infest public
houses chiefly, they are also found
lurking about in the closets Of pri-
vate houses, in the workshops of
mechanics and the fields of farmers.
In some instances whole families
have fallen victims to the murderers
and whole towns have been ruined
by them.
Several person have been murdered
by those miscreants in a manner too
horrible to relate; there are others
who are duly attacked by them,
robbed Of their memory, smitten IN
the head, knocked down, and in all
respects so violently handled that an
alarming stupor has succeeded and
they are brought to death's door.
The country is in danger from
those miscreants who mock at
reason, trample on the precious rights
Of man and equally bid defiance to
law and gospel. 1t has been deemed
necessary to organize, in seIf-defense,
a temperance vigilance committee
against those murdcrers-W whose
names are Whiskey Brandy, and
other Intoxicating Liquors BaLtj-

Still Going for KeilhOltZ,

Acting Mayor Keilholtz has been
catching it from all sides, since he
welcomed the Brewers Congress in
Baltimore a few days since. Rey.
DIR. }. McKendree Kelley, pastor of
the EutaW NJ. &. Church, spoke on
Tuesday night last on the subject of
temperance:
CDR. Kelley said beer and wine
was as bad as Whiskey, but more in
sidious. California, he said, was a
standing evidence Of what the free
use Of wine amounted to. The Chi
cago tribune had lately shown that
the yearly liquor bill Of San Fran
cisco was twenty-five millions Of dol
lars, on which the profit OF the deal
ers was fifteen millions. 1t was also
shown that San Francisco drank one
third more liquor than even Chicago.
Well, said DR.. Kelley, if San Fran
cisco is any worse than Chicago, God
help | have heretofore refraincd,
he went on, from saying much about
the attitude of the Acting Mayor of
Baltimore on this question. Against
Mr.. Keilholtz personally l have
nothing to say, but his acts as the
municipal executive officer are GER
tainly subject to criticism, and l for
one object seriously to his action be-
fore the Brewers Congress lately
held in this city. [ feel that it was
wrong, and in so expressing myself
| utter the conviction Of thousands
of respectable citizens, without re-
gard to creed or politics.
When agricultural fairs are held or
industrial eXpositions, the products
of the agriculturist and various arti-
sans are exhibited as evidences Of
prosperity. 1t is right and proper
that public recognition should be
given such assemblies. But whoever
heard of the brewers putting any Of
their specimens on exhibition? The
finished specimens that they turn out
are to be found mainly in the iails
and penitentiaries, in the asylums
and poor houses, or hanging ON the
gibbett. When the authors OF this
sort of specimens meet | do not con-
slider it a matter for special gratifica-
tien, and when the chief city official
gives them a hearty welcome | pro
test in the name of all that is right
and just against his representing his
sentiments as those Of the entire
community"

Touderly gather them in,

Infrom the places of sin.
Some are so young and so helpless,
some are SO hungry and cold;
Open the door for the children,
Gather them into the fold,
open the door for the children,
See they are coming in throngs;
Bid them a loving welcome,
Teach them our beau tiful songs.
Remember that every drunkard
Was once but a little child,
Who might have been safe from the tempter
Fromrnin and dangers wild
Had some loving father or mother,
Some worker or teacher 50 kind,
But fostered a hate for the poison
In his little innocent mind.

Take the dear lambs by the hand
Point them to truth and to Jesus,
Tell them of heavens bright land.

Pray that His grace may be given,

A remarkable scene transpired in
the Baltimore City Court Judge
Pinkney) on Friday Of last week
which will no doubt have good
effect A street appeal ease was on
trial, the jury having been out to
view the street, and on their return
two of them were very much intoXi-
Gated. The attention of the Judge
was called to this fact when he, in a
very impressive manner, admins
tered sharp reprimand, fined each
$40, dismissed them from the panel
and forever disqualified them from
again serving as jurors in his Court.
This humiliating affair will 10 doubt
have the effect Of making jurors more
careful in future. Judge Pinkney is
not to be trifed with, chat is very
certain.

To correct u popular ml>apprehen-

independent school districts Of Min
nesota are not exempt from the
operations Of the Merrill school-book
law, the attorney general having
decided that the option of accepting
the books applies only to boards of
education acting under special
charters granted ny the legislature.
In this connection. it can also be said
that Auditor Whitcomb has modified

The National party is already dis :.
tnrfjfng the plans and calculations of
the politicians. In Pennsylvania the
question seems to be, shall the DEM
ocracy combine with the nationals
and win or go it a lone and be beaten.
The following, from an eastern paper,
shows how the battle RACES:
The fight between the Wallace and
Randall factions Of the Pennsylvania
Democracy over the time and place
for holding the State convention, has
been won by the former. The whole
controversy grew out of the develop
ment of strength displayed by the
National party, and the best way to
conciliate thar element. The plan of
Senator Wallace and his friends is to
hold an early convention and nominate
ticket composed of men who have
friends in the labor movement, giving
the Nationals recognition by placing
leader named Collins on for Lieu
tenant Governor. 1t is expected that
this will cause the Nationals to
| indorse the ticket, and will thus give
| Wallace the upper hand in future
combinations, which will enable him
| to hold his seat in the Senate. The
plan of the Randall faction was to
/ hold the convention after that Of the
| Nationals, with the expectation that
the latter would nominate Hendrick
y. Wright, the Democratic Congress-
| man from the LuZerne district, for
Governor. This would give the anti
| Wallace faction chance to make
combinations on Congressman and
members of the State Legislature,
with the prospect Of naming the next
United States Senator. The DEM
ocratic State Committee met yester-
day at Harrisburg and by a majority
of one it was decided to hold the
State Convention at Pittsburg on May
%. This is two weeks earlier than
the date for holding the State Con-
vention of the National party, which
is called for Philadelphia on June g.
All this wrangling and scheming
among the Democrats is very amusing
to the Nationals. who have no idea Of
coalescing with the Democracy ON any
terms. They fully appreciate their
strength and fiattering prospects, and
propose to act entirely Independent
Of old parties. They will nominate
, none but men identified fully with the
National party. and this plan will be
followed by the several Congressional,
county and legislative conventions.
The Republicans az well as the Dem.
ocrats, are counting an alliance, which
: only adds to the resolution Of the
: National leaders to 90 it alone
!. Colonel Mcclure Of the Philadelphia
Times, one of the best informed
politicians Of the State, says the vote
OF the Nationals, if they conduct Z
: separate campaign. will be nearly il
/ not quite. one-third Of the whole. and
that the probabilities point to theil
control of the Legislature. and the
election Of majority Of the Con
Il gressmen.
