Just before he was laid in the tomb, in
speech at Washington City, Vice-President
Wilson said Probably we have go, 900
churches in this land, 80, 900 OF $4,000 clergy
men at least and 5000, 900 church members.
The ministers of these churches profess to be-
leve that God had placed us here to prepare
ourselves for "A higher and better life. They
profess to believe that they have conseclated
themselves, all they are, all they hope to be,
to the cause of the Divine Master. Now we
have in the United States hundreds of thou
sands of poor drunkards. The human mind
cannot fathom the evils and the suflerings the
habitua use of Intoxicating liquors bring up
ON it's victims. Thousands of the young men
of this country are going headlong to ruin
nobody can doubt it, everybody sees it, every
body feels it. Where are the voices of the
go, 900 cergymen Where are the activities
of the 100000 of church members of the
United States | say, tonight, have little
hope for the triumph of the temperance cause
until large proportion of the clergymen aud
protesting Christians of this land rise up to
the occasion. | call upon every Christian
minister of this land, and every member of
the Church of Christ, upon every man and
woman, to come up and aid this work by pre-
eept and example,"

EDIsos,s LATEST.

IN st. Louis, lately Mr.. Edison, the inven--
tor was called upon to devise some means of
Kidding the world Of the horrors Of war. at
which Mr.. Edison grew grave, and announce
ed that he had gisel the subject much
thought, and that, though he had beon unable
TO invent an instrument by which war could
be done away with. yet he had thought Of
plan BY which, if faithfully followed out, ons
army could vanquish another will, compasa-
tive ease.
The knot Of listeners was breathless with
interest.
Gentlemen" said the Professor, = have
not patented this idea. shall have to rely
upon your honor not to make overtures to
foreign Governments after you bave learned
my secret, and thus rob me of the result OF
my thought.'
Every man in the company tried to look
painfully honest.
T" This is my plan, then, gentlemen In the
van of the attacking army l would place a
number "a large number) OF wagons, which
should move in front of the main body"
lhtense interest on the part of every one,
ant, an eager desire to hear more
" These wagons would have loaded with
the very choicest quality of whiskey, of the
forty-roddest brand could secure"
Curious looks of misgiving begin to pass
between the listener, who, however, wait for
more.
=" On the meeting of the opposing armies
would allow mine, after slight skrmish, to-
suffer defeat, and, while retreating in good
enough order to save artillery, ammunition and
small arms, | wouldpermt the wagon loads
of whiskey to be captured by the enemy. Do
you begin to see, gentlemen %
Some said they did, but the most of them
were silent.
Then, of course, the victorious army, ex-
cited with victory, would seize upon their
booty the men, as soon as they discovered
its nature, would throw off all restraint in u
short space of time the victors would begin
one hinge spree. All discipline would be lost,
of course, and them when tho orgic was ut
its height, | would make another attack, and
of course, either cut them to pieces or take
them all prisoners. Isn't that a possible
plan F"
And then, when everybody was ashamed
to look anybody in the face, Tom Edison
burst into roar of laughter, which proved
infectious, and the sell passed off in the very
best of good humor.

Shooting at mark is better practice,
in conducting reform movements, than most
of the reformers seem to think. In Chicago,
special organized and determined efforts have
been directed to the prevention of the sale of
liquor to minors, when is nearly everywhere
forbidden by law The only way to perma-
nently diminish the army of drunkards is TO
stop the recruiting and the recruits come al
most entirely from the ranks of young men.
II the bardrnking of minors could be abso-
mtely prohibited in this country for dozen
years the effect would be wonderful. In many
places, where the closing of saloons is at pres
ent impossible, the enforcement of restrictions
imposed by the license is quite practicable if
proper efforts were made. There is too much
broadcast shooting--too many blank cartridg-
es--too much understanding for the mere
sake Of the noise-in the temperance ranks.
A good deal more get-pract'ce and straight
shooting are needed Golden Rule.

UNSUCCESSFUL SEARCH THE DETECTIVES

Especial telegram to the Dispatch.1
FREDERICKSBURG, Va, December H.
The detectives who have been in this Vi
cinity for several days supposed to- be
searching for the remains Of a. 7. Stewart
were discovered this morning in the barn
of DIR. Beck, on Beck's island, where they
had slept the previous night. They in
formed an agent that they followed corpse
here from New York, which proved not to
be that OF the great millionaire. They rep
resented themselves as independent detect
ives, and said they were promised large
reward in the event they were successful.
They first heard OF the mysterious vessel
mentioned in these dispatches yesterday,
after their arrival here, from the negroes
who discovered her, and they believed they
had at last obtained clue to the wherea-
bouts OF the lost remains. They left here
this evening for New York to look for the
vessel, and will return here in few days
to search for the hidden box supposed to
contain the equivalent OF forty thousand
dollars

Tobacco Interest ia Caroline county.
At a public meeting Of the citizens Of
Caroline county, Va, held at Bowling
Green on the 9th Of December, 1878 Court
day., Mr.. Littleton Hippo was called to the
chair, and j. NJ. Hudgin appointed secre-
tary.
Addresses were made by Messrs. #. N.
Wech, William d: Quesenberry, and Ro-
bert o. Peatross against the sectional hard
ships of the present tobacco tax. -
On motion OF Mr.. Il. n. Welsh the fol-
lowing resolutions were unanimously
adopted ...,. r.. :"
/. RESOLVED, That we, the ,people5of the
county OF Caroline, residing in the tobacco
region OF Virginia, and to which crop We
look chiefly for our support and maipte-
nance, our lands being peculiarly adapted
to its growth and our labor to It's culture,
feel aggrieved at, as I'VE believe, the unjust
tax imposed upon it by the Congress OF the
United States.
2. Resolved, That whilst we are willing
to bear our just and fair proportion of oil
public burthens for the support OF the Fed
erai Government aud the liquidation OF the
public debt, yet we esteem this tax imposed
upon tobacco as unjustand oppressive upon
Us, as loca! and discriminating to our great
disadvantage. Il ..a
3. Resolued, That copy Of these resolu-
lions be forwarded TO our representative
and senator's in Congress, with request
that 1t be presented TO Congress, and their
favorable action invited, and the law impo.
sing the tax repeated. 4
Ordered, That the secretary OF this meet
ing send copy OF these resolutions to the
Richmond papers for publication. fs,a ~
