Mr.. T.. L. Barnum, whose recent
conversation contained some auto
biographical "Reminiscences on the
subject of Temperance, has spoken
again onthe same theme. One even
ing in 1874, in Saratoga, he said, he
became somewhat influenced by po-
tations, 81 knew that l was booty"
The next morning he resolved never
to drink another drop of liquor"
He kept his resolution, as hethought,
though he continued to indulge in
champagne. 81 did not then con-
slider that drinking" ...
81 became from that day very
much interested in the cause of tenn
perance, and was instrumental in
getting the Rev. DR.. Z. IL. Chaplin
to lecture on the subject at Bridge
port. To my surprise, the chief target
ofhis eloquence was moderate drink
ers and champagne suppers. 1t
changed my views considerably, and
the next morning [ took DR.. Chaplin
into my wine cellar and told him to
look at the effect Of his arguments. [
had knocked the heads off all my
champagne bottles. He was aston
ished, and said he thought | was q
teetOtaIer. 4 am, Ireplied.
The statement on this subject made
by Mr.. Barnum to the representative
of the Ere0ing Post was in the fol-
lowing words:
"Whatever / do / do with my
whole life, and it is easier for me to
abstain entirely from beer, wine, and
liquor than to be moderate in the u c
Of them. From 1SI2-46, when | was
with Tom Thumb in England,
Franco Belgium, and other counties,
| got to liking ale, half-in-half
champagne dinners, &c. | Kept
pouring in and pouring in.
"When returned home the habit
was strong, and [ broke it at once. l
should have been in my crave now
if / haden't. suppose, though. that
if there was nothing stronger in the
world than claret wine / should
drink that. You will find among
your moderate drinking friends that
every now and then a son of theirs
will fall, l think my example is
good. | have the consolation of
knowing that every child and grand
child of mine is teetotaler; 1 believe
l have saved many by my example
and talk"
Itappears, therefore, that the little
affair in Saratoga was repetition of
many similar scenes in Europe dur
ing the great Tom Thumb campaign,
when Mr.. Barnum was under the in
tluence of sore. and UNUSUAL tempta-
tons. To suppose that the celebrated
Snowman became "boozy' in the
twinkling Of an eye, as it were, with
out having been in previous peril,
would be to do him serious injustice.

What Rum Did for Husband an
Wife.

Mrs. Emma JudSon is an accom-
plished lady of refined manners and
appearance. Her husband is a re-
tired merchant living in Bridgeport,
Conn.,, and they have a boy u years
of age. She is less than 30. Soon
after her marriage, with her own
money, she bought house in Lex
ington avenue, Brooklyn, where the
couple begun life in comfort. Mr..
Judson was in the liquor business,
and his home was literally supplied
with wines. He became overload of
drink, and so much so that it led to
a divorce the wife being the plain
tiff. Signs of reformation and
promises to do better led to forgive
ness on her part, and they were re-
married. After the second marriage,
Mrs. Judson herself became the VIC
tim of strong drink, and herhusband
began a suit for limited divorce, that
is now pending. Mrs. Judson went
to live with her mother, Mrs. Mar
garet P. Lindsey, at i54 Lee aventie,
Brooklyn. She was unable to break
up her habits of drinking, and four
months ago committed an assault up
on her mother for which she was
arrested and sentenced tothe Kings
county penitentiary for six months.

Does it Pay p?

a reformed man, while addressing
Murphy meeting in this city, a few
evenings since, made the following
statement: 81 have been member
of the Murphy organization for one
year. During that time l have made
one thousand dollars. OF this mon-
ey, am thankful to say, the saloon
keepers have not received one penny.
Every cent of it has been expended
for the necessaries. of life myself and
family had to do without for several
years before, because 1 gave my hard
earned wages to the whiskey seller.
Our table has been supplied with
plenty of all we could wish to eat.
have paid my rent promptly, and
am now getting out of debt"
Now, business men of Dayton and
elsewhere, the question for you to
consider is, Who has been benefited
by this mans reformation besides
himself and family? Every cent
of it has been expended for the nee
essaries of life,' he says. We noticed
that he was respectfully dressed,
which could not be said of him when
he first signed the pledge. The deal
ers in clothing have come in for their
share, certainly. The reformed mans
wife and children are now seen at
church and Sabbath School, which
was not the case before his reforma-
ton, because they had not clothes
respectable enough to Wear-which is
money in,the pocket of the dry-goods
merchant. Their feet are comforta-
bly, clad, which means increased
sales for the shoemaker. Our table
has been supplied with plenty Of all
we could wish to eat" Where did
he purchase it? Not at the saloon.
where he had left his money before
his reformation, but at the grocery
and provision store. 81 have paid
my rent promptly, and am now
getting out Of debt" & G fs aE
How many landlords would be
better off to-day if their tenants
could have said as much years ago |!
And we would ask the business men
of this city to examine their books
and find who it is that have been in
their debt the longest, and who owe
the largest amounts? Men who
spend their money for whiskey, and
run in debt las long as they can OBJ
tain credit) for the necessaries of life.
If merchants will look into this mat
ter they will find that the temper
ance movement has, during the past
year, furnished them with a class of
customers who do not only patronize
them often, but what is.much better,
they pay for what they get. The
movement has given to the manu-
facturerers and employers of every
kind, mechanics who earn the mon
ey that is paid them, and who lead a
life of honesty, industry and so6y'iety.

Woman's Work.

Woman. there aresone things that
you can do, and this is one you can
make drinking unpopular and dis
graceful among the young. You can
utterly discountenance all drinking
in your own house, and you can hold
in suspicion every young man who
touches the cup. You know that no
young, man who drinks can safely be
trusted with the happiness of any
woman, and that he is as unfit as II
man can be for Woman's society.
Haye this tunderStood-that every
young man who drinks is socially
prescribed. Bring up your children
to regard drinking as not only dam
gerOus, but disgraceful. Place temp
tation in no mans way. Ifmen will
make beasts of themselves, let them
do it in other society than yours.
Recognize the living terrible fact
that wine has always been, and is to-
day, the curse of your sex that it
steals the hearts of men away from
you, that 1t dries up your prosperity,
That 1t endangers your safety, ltliat IL
can only bring you evil, If social
custom compels you to present wine
at your feasts, rebel against it., and
make social custom in the interests
of virtue and purity. The matter IS
very much in your own hands,. The
women of the country, in what is
called polite society, can do more to
make the nation temperate than all
the Legislators and tumultuous re-
formers that are struggling and blum
dering in their efforts to this end.

A GREAT BATTLE Is reported to have
been Tough. between the Russians and
Turks on Monday in which the latter
were defeated with terrible loss. At last
accounts the Turks had taken up posi-
ton near Philippopolis, aud the com,
mander OF the Turkish forces had order
cd the Inhabitants to leave the place. The
remnant Of the only Turkish field army
south of the Balkans is in danger Of being
annihilated before an armistice can be
concluded. Dispatches agree that the ut
most terror and generalization prevails
throughout all Turkey. Between Philip
popolis and Constantinople panic
stricken fugitives continue TO crowd to-
ward the capital by thousands, and only
q small percentage Of them are men.
Many thousands are detained at Chortu
on account of recent railway accident
on the line leading to COnstantinople.
The Turkish government and English
relief committee have great difficulty to
prevent wholesale loss OF life from hun,
ger and exposure. Dispatches from Con.

The ROs d to Rome.

Church society in England has again been
stirred to its depths by the discovery of an
other extremely ritualistic brotherhood with
Roman Catholic proclivities. It is called the
Confraternity of the Holy Trinity, and num-
bers between 300 and 400 members. Among
them are the Bishop of Ely, Canon Carter,
and son of the Bishop of Winchester. Two
hundred and fifty of the confraternity are al
ready in holy orders, and the remainder are
university students studying for the church.
The system of government Is similar to that
Of the Society Of the Holy Cross. There are
four vice presidents twelve senior brethren,
the council. All the members Of the CONTRA
ternity wear bad &c IN the form OF Latin !,
fortnightly devotional exercises" are pre-
scribed for the members, who are specially
enjoined to pray for the dead and to attend.
as often as possible, early celebrations OF the
blessed sacrament" A few weeks ago, one
of the most Jealous members, the Rev. j. J
Greene, OF Brighton, seeded to Rome, and
others are expected to follow. The move
ment has excited much alarm among the low
and broad churchmen, and petitions are in
circulation for its suppression.
