A Good Story.

l was looking over the stories that
were sent in last week for the prize, and
/ wonder that the editor did not insert
this one, which is really too good to be
lost:
"There is curious duel now pending
in Boston, which began several years
ago. Mr.. A., a bachelor, challenged Mr..
B., a married man with one child, who
replied that the conditions were not
equal-that he must necessarily put
more at risk with his life than the other
and he declined A year afterwards
he received challenge from Mr.. A.,
who stated that he, too, had wife and
child, and he supposed, therefore, the OBJ
lection of Mr.. B. was no longer valid
Mr.. B. replied that he now had two
children, consequently the inequality
still subsisted. The next year Mr.. A.
renewed his challange, having now two
children too, but his adversary had three.
The matter, when last heard from, was
still going on, the numbers being six to
seven, and the challenge yearly re-
newed.

Moderate Drinking.
EXPERIMENTING on TEMPERANCE.


A commission Of the British Parliament,
which has for some time been occupied in
close investigation of the subject of the
traffic in and consumption of Intoxicating
drink, with q view also to get the fullest
information and the clearest understanding
possible in regard to the relation between
the use of liquors and the physical and
moral condition of the human race, has
made long report, which apparently set
ties nothing, although it does perhaps set
the subject in fuller light. The testimony
was sought Of the leading medical experts
and physiologist in the United Kingdom,
and this was found to agree in nothing ex,
ccpt as to the alarming growth and extent
OF the vice, and the necessity Of some
means being adopted to control it, but
what those means should be no two wit
nesses concurred about.
In New York a society has Just been
organized, at a well-attended meeting at
Chlckcring Hall, the object Of which is to
encourage moderation in the use Of intoxi
eating drinks. The meeting was noticeable
for the number of business men who were
present and took part in it-indeed, the
society was expressly organized under the
auspices of the successful business men of
the city-such as F. B. Thurber, Peter
Cooper Thurlow Weed, DR.. Crosby, and
persons Of like practical turn OF mind.
The speakers recognized the irightfu evils
| of intemperance, but recognized further
the fact that the majority Of the people were
not ready to oaccept the extreme views of the
total abstinence party. Hence they deemed
it cxpedien! to be content with mitigating
| the evil until it could be efpctually des-
troyed. and, with this end in view, the
society proposed four separate sorts of
| pledges, all upon honor, to meet the varying
| views Of the subscribers to moderation.
| One pledge bound the sgner not to drink
| during business hours; another not to
| treat nor to be treated; a third, to drink
| only fermented liquors in moderation, and
to abstain from all distilled liqours, while
the fourth form of pledge was to total absti-
nence for limited period. The Sun has
received specimens Of the plegcs taken by
members Of this society. as well as a copy
of its circular, "Thp Golden Mean" with
| the songs and music, &c, intended to be
used at its meetings. The fundamental
| principle of the society seems to be that 0t
moderation in all things, demanding, in
response to a moderate view of the whole
Temperance question, that its subscribers
should pledge themselves to illustrate, by
their own conduct, the possibility oil
medication in drinking. The word "mod
| crate, however, is too apt to he construed
to suit each mans particular appetite, and
only too many So-called moderate drink
ers" tread upon path which is as narrow
and periious as the bridge i'll the . ''Vision

AMERICAN PRoDUCTs IN EURoPE.-A cor
respondent of New York paper, writing
from Germany, says that trade on the con.
tinent is very bad, the poorer people are in
serious distress, and capitalists are earning
less and less by their investments, the limit
to the profitable employment of money
seeming to have been reached in many
branches of industry. There is also great
uneasiness in Germany and Holland on
account Of the growing favor in which
American products are held and the con.
tinual increase in their sale. American
stoves and hardware are largely sold in
these countries, and now "Amercan butch
er shops" are being opened in Amsterdam
and elsewhere, which will sell American
meats exclusively. Holland finds that its
butter trade with England, which has been
very extensive and profitable, is menaced
by American competition, the butter fur
nished from this country, while less esteem
ed for quality than the Dutch article, bein,
cheaper in price and more salable in tn,
present hard times.

TROUBLES IN CONsTANTINOPLE.-The Turk
ish gold Ira, or pound, the nominal value
Of which is 100 piastres, has risen to LOO
piastres in paper money. In other words,
the piastre, the nominal value of which is
Al cents, has fallen 39l00ths of q cent, and
the distress that ensues in the Turkish
capital and provinces in consequence Is said
to be terrible to witness. The Porte has
made a great many efforts to regenerate its
finances, and the Sultan has sent his gold
and silver plate, valued at $5O0O0O, to the
mint to be coined into money. But the
Greek, French, Italian and Armenian
bankers of Galata and Pera. and the great
banking houses Of London and Paris, (thP
same which are seeking to involve England
and France in war about Egypt to cover
the security for their bonds,) will not per
NIT the Porte to restore the currency. They
finding il moro profitable to lend money to
the Turkish government at usurous rates
on short loans, secured by some special taA
or monopoly, than to promote currancy re-
forms. The uncertain money, the wild
fuctuation of prices, and the general public
distress, combine to keep COnstantlnople In
| constant danger of bread riots, in which, il
| they should break out, the soldiPry, who
are starving equally with the civil popula-
| ton, would be almost sure to take part.
| In case of any such riots the Sultan, who
has lust congratulated the Emperor Alex
ander upon his escape from assassination
would probably be the first victim, and he
is SO much alive to the dangers to which he
is exposed that his yacht, with steam up,
lies always ready for embarkation at the
foot of the gardens of Gildiz Kiosk, the

BLUE LAWS IN New JERsEY.-The brew
ing interest in Newark, n. j., resentng the
rigid enforcement of the Sunday liquor law
under the auspices Of the Law and Order
Association, have formed Citizens Protec-
tive Association, hunted up an old statue
forbidding ali travelling, all worldly employ
ment or business, ordinary or servile work
on land or water, buying and selling, the
running of vehicles of all sorts, and many
other common Sunday practices, and are
having the blue laws enforced to the letter.
Last Sunday complaints were entered
against l6 barber shops, bakeries, 2 pro-
vision stores, livery stables, 33 milkmen,
13 cigar and drug stores, 10 saloons, and
many newspapers and newsdealers and
manufacturers. The Protective Association
are attempting to stop the cars, arrest the
presses, and lay an embargo on all sorts ot
business in the city, even to the vending Of
milk, and are doing this in pure spirit O.

public order and sobriety, to say nothing

SUCCESS IN STOCKING WESTERN WATERS
WITH SHAD.-The labors of the United
States fish commission in connection with
stocking western waters with shad have
met with very satisfactory results, numerous
cases being on record of the occurrence of
the adult fish at many different localities
in their new area Of distribution. In a
letter to the commissioner, dated April II,
1879, the Rev. Thomas May Thorpe, of Hot
Spring Arkansas, announces the capture Ol
five hundred specimens at that place dur.
ing the previous week. These were from
two and three-quarters to three pounds in
weight. A head and tail transmitted by
Mr.. Thorpe prove the fish to have been un
doubtedly the true white shad of the
Potomac, and not the hickory shad, which
is also known to occur in the western
waters Washington Star.

FIL1AL DEvorIoN.-The Russian papers
tell singular story of fiial devotion. A

grew so nfuriated that she raised her arm to
strike her son but he grasped his mothers

Marshal Frederick Douglass in alecture at
Staunton, Va, last week, advised his

he said, had prayed for three long years
that freedom might come to him, but it
never came until prayers got down into his
legs and carried him away. He did not
approve the "exodus," and added: " Stay
where you are, and so conduct yourselves

VOICES FROM THE PAST.

They come at morn and even,
They cheer us in our care.
They WOO our thoughts from sorrow,
Temptation and despair.
kind words they speak to guide us,
When life is dark and drear,
Like guardian angels with US
They ever will be near.
Remembered notes of music
Are oft recalled again,
And memory rehearSes
The sweet ana glad resrain.
Thus voices which are silent,
That once to us were dear,
Seem with their joyous cadence
To fall upon the ear.
Again we seem to welcome
Our loved ones who have gone
To rest from all life'S lab0ur
Where they never may return.
Yet oft their words of greeting
We hear Just as of yOre,
The scenes of other happy years
Return to us once more.
The prayer we lisped in childhood
Beside our mothers knee,
Her gentle words of blessing
taliSman may be;
Words which through all life's shadows
Seem ever at our side,
At last our Wayward footsteps
Heavenward to guide.
