TEMPERANCE.
An Appeal to Mothers.

Mothers behold your sons. how they
throng the places whers the cup of death
is sold! how rapid their course to ruin!
Oh! what cruel, 'hoFpid workl Il has in
deed filled the world with the wounded, the
dying and the dead; with blighted hopes
and broken hearts; and fathers and moth
ers with gray hairs are brought down with
sorrow to the grave. Where? Oh where
shall it stop? Is there no end to this river
of death? Shall it never cease to pour its
desolating waters oyer our land? Never
until the Christian Church awakes to the
Importance of the subject, and takes hold
of the work Of reform with an interest be-
coming the appalling magnitude of the
evil. Never until the principal of total
abstinence shall every where prevail. Wo-
men have many duties to perform, some in
common with men, and not few peculiar
to themselves; but among them all there
is none greater than to take an active, per-
sonal and abiding interest in the Temper
ance reform. 1t is admitted bY all, that
women are the greatest sufferers Of the
dreadful curse Of intemperance. They
suffer when only man has sinned-the in
uocent thus bearing the punishment of the
guilty. Then why should not women be
the warmest friends of the temperance
cause, and its firmest supporters. For the
sake Of our suffering sisterhood, let US
awake, and arise! and meet fully and firm
ly the claims of this cause. An host Of
faithful women are giving their time and
energies to the work of lifting the fallen
from the mire of intemperance. Shall we
refuse to lend them helping hand? Let
US no longer say, "what is there TO do that
l can do?' but instead let us say, what is
there not to do? We can join temperance
organizations which are in our midst, and
let the full weight Of our influence be felt

Something New in Journalism.

When the present Pope was Cardinal,
he cherished the idea Of publishing grand
Catholic journal-an organ for his church
that could be read by all the people OF Eu-
rope and America in their mother Ian
gnages. Since his eleyation to the Ponti-
fests Leo XIII has exerted himself dill
gently to put mis- ideas Of great news
naper into practice. He has succeeded 50
far as to authorize the announcement that
its first number viii be issued in July or
August of this year. 1t viii be printed in
seven different languages; will discuss all
the political and economical questions Of
the day, and officially represent the opin-
ions of the Holy See. The eompositors
are to be the deaf-and-dumb boys eduea-
ted in one Of the asylums of the Church Of
Rome. Alimonde will be the general su-
perintendent. The Pope is anxious that
Cardinal should be ct the head Of the edi-
torial department; he offered that position
to Cardinal Nina, who declined it. The
novel paper viii start with fOrty-two thous-
and subscribers; ;,Yery few Of this number
are Italians. Once fairly under way, the
grand Catholic organ is likely to commend
itself to future POpes, and become a per-
manent power among the newspapers Of
the Old World.
During the debate on the Army bill,
in the Senate. Mr.. Blame was interrupt
ed by an insulting command from Senator
Bayard, to take his hands off his hips.
Mr.. Blaine retorted by denying Mr.. Bay
ards right to dictate him, and asked him
what he meant. Mr.. Bayard replied that
he would inform him elsewhere. Mr..
Blaine then said:-'I must judge from
that that it viii be language unbecoming
a Senator. l meant no offence to the gen.
tleman from Delaware, but if he meant to
offend me, I shall receive his communica-
tion anywhere, in whatever manner he
chooses" This was a predieament for
which the bullies were not prepared, and
it struck confusion into their ranks.
No challenge has been heard Of, but
quite sensation was created among the
brigadiers, and what might grow ont of
it appeared to be not little dubious.

The apparently well laid plans of the
brigadiers to corner the Executive, and

The outlook for oil producers is not en-

Branford district, no tankage is TO be OBJ
tanned, and some seven thousand barrels
of crude goes to waste daily for want Of
storage. The supply is so great that there
is no demand for the article, and the Stan
dard Co., is urged to buy for shipment, at
prices ranging five cents barrel below the
current rates in the oil exchange. The
business wears a gloomy aspect.

Figuring up results Of the election in ad-
vance is one of the interesting occupations
of political managers. They can tell as
well three months ahead what the result
will be, as for any shorter time. Both
parties have, more or less, this gift Of pre-
science, but the Democracy are little more
bold and brazen in the assertion Of their
confidence than the Republicans dare to be.
The figuring that has been already done
make it pretty clear and confident that the
majority will not be less than $4,000 on
either side. This is very encouraging for
activity on both sides.
