PULLMAN Rum SHOPS.-The National
Temperance Advocate says: "The Pull
man car company have recently placed
a number of hotel cars upon the route
between New York and the West, which
are hotel and sleeping cars combined,
passengers being furnished their meals
in the cars as they ride along the road.
These cars are also furnished with Il
liquor bar, and each carries the United
States Internal Revenue receipt for a
twenty five dollars permit to sell liquor
to passengers. Whether they obtain a
license from the states through which
they pass we do not know, but we de-
sire to enter our protest against this
grog- shop-car nuisance and pest to So
ciety. Is it not enough that men are
tempted upon land and upon almost
every corner of our streets? Why
should the Pullman car company GO
into the villainous whiskey business
and debauch young men who pass over
their route ? We saw two young men
nearly drunk and disorderly making
frequent visits to the hotel car 'bar.
The Pullman car company deserve the
reprObation of all good men and women
for this late grog shop innovation"

p Drunkards grow from moderate
drinkers, and moderate drinkers from
the untaught or wrongly educated chill
dren of our homes. There is a point
where the stop can be put on, and that
is in the home. Every parent is re-
spOnsible for the intemperance of his
child, if he has not, by example and
precept, done everything possible to
prevent it.

A CHURCH Row IN FLORIDA.-They
are particular about the use of words
down in Florida. A physicians wife
desired to leave the Protestant Episco-
pal church, of which she was mem
Der, and the clergyman wrote her down
on the church book "ApOstatized to
the Reformed Episcopalians." Her hus
band heard of it, coaxed the clergyman
into an alley, and struck him in the
face The clergyman did not retaliate,
but his brother heard of it, went to
Tallahassee, pulled the doctor out OF
his carriage, and struck him. Then
both drew their pistols. 1t was at this
moment that a happy idea struck them
both. On one side of the road was a
large tree, and corresponding one
stood upon the other. The doctor
spIang behind one of these trees, and
the clergyman's brother took refuge be-
hind the other. With these strong bal
riers, they began to fire. They were
both valOrous southern gentlemen, and
they made the bark of those trees fly
The doctors colored man was hOluine
his horse some distance up the street
and the only shot that took effect struck
done bv one of the duelists trying to
send semi-circular shot around his
tree. Seeing that they had no inten-
ton of hitting each other, the mayor
sent a constable down, and the constable
arrested them both. The clergy mans
brother was fined $50, and the doctor
was let off. They content themselves
now with calling each other hard names

THE OTHER SIDE.-During our late
war Gen. Mcdowell, one of the noblest,
the most accomplished soldiers of the
Union, was most unjustly assaulted by
group of war correspondents who rep
resented him to the country as incom-
petent, drunken and perhaps disloyal.
1t was circumstantially stated that on
one occasion he was so drunk that he
nearly reeled from his horse. AS a
consequence, he rested for long time
under this cloud of cruel and unjust
suspicion. He is almost the only adult
man ever knew of whom it can be said
with truth that he never tasted spiritu-
Gus liquors, tea, coffee or tobacco; and
yet several millions of his countrymer
were made to believe, and perhaps
many of them still believe, that he lost
the battle of Bull Run in consequence
of intoxicatioD.-Gen GdrfelTs I'D

u 1t seems from a recently publish
ed blue book on drunkenness in Scot
land, that the permission granted some
years back to grocers to sell liquors has
been attended with very bad effects, so
far as women are concerned. Whisky
is frequently put down in the bill, which
their husbands pay under other heads
In 1860, 126 women were arrested in
Kilmarnock for drunkenness; in 1876
no fewer than 270.

To PREVENT WAKEFULNEss. - A
writer in Halls Journal of Health gives
the following hints to prevent wakeful-
ness which are no doubt efficacious If
you cannot go to sleep when you first
go to bed, give orders to be walked up
at daylight, get up promptly, do not
sleep wink during the day, go to bed
at your regular time, with directions to
be walked as before; in week you will
find that you can go to sleep promptly,
and then be careful to get up as soon as
you wake in the mornings, thus you
will soon find out how much sleep your
system requires, and act accordingly.
Always avoid sleeping in the day time
for if you require seven hours sleep,
and spend that much in sleep at night,
whatever time you spend in sleep dur
ing the day, must be deducted from the
seven hours, or you will soon be wake
full again. If you wake up in the night,
either go to bed two or three hours
later, or when you wake up, get up,
even if it be one o'clock in the morning,
and do not sleep a moment until your
regular hour for going to bed if you
wake, do not sleep in the day time
you will find out in less than a week
how much sleep you require, then act
accordingly. Nature loves regularity
and the four hours sleep from ten to
two is said to be worth six hours after
twelve o'clock.

To Protect Orange Trees
from Frost. ''' 80

Ifsthe old stupps in the groYe'have
not yet been removed, they can be
made useful as a protection against
cold weather, in the following man.
ner; dig on one side of the largest
a large hole about three feet deep, be-
low the lateral roots, to the small part
of the tap-root; chip off some of the
outer sap Of the root; dig at the
smaller stumps, and cut them out
three feet below the surface; then roll
the extracted logs and place them in
the hole near the large stumps; place
light wood, for kindling purposes
around them, and on the appearance
of frost put fire to it; they will burn
the whole night, creating a dense
smoke and a check to the frost. The
stumps will not burn out in one night,
so the process may be repeated and
used on every appearance Of frost.
Two objects are gained, namely re-
moving the stumps, which are an un-
seemly sight in the grove, and pro-
tecting the trees at one expense. If
your stumps have already been ex-
tracted, make piles Of wood in differ
ent parts Of the grove, ready to be
fired when required.

hurt the plants in fact on signs of
cold weather, we have seen the earth
drawn completely over the tops, with
out injury. It does not stand to 9rea-
son in this State thatllarge ffourishing
tops produce the best crop of pota-
toes. Too much manure is as bad, if
not worse, than too little. Good
crops may be had by merely laying
the seed; even peelings, on the sur
face of the ground and covering them
over with pine straw; as the tops turn
yellow, remove the straw, and fine
large potatoes will be found lying on
the surface. 1t may look ridiculous,
but try It, d They may be mapured
with ashes, compost, muck or rotted
