The Temperance Dance.

The sChippewa Indians, 70 the number
of three hnndred ana city, have just con-
cluded their annual temperance dance at
Ashland. This is a comparatively new
holiday season with the Chippewas. A
few years ago, seeing their braves plunged
into all species of trouble and a number
Of them Killed because of their drunken
ness, the chiefs introduced temperance
reform movement. Up to the date nearly
four hundred of them have taken the
pledge, and so faruhOt al. Indian has
''broken over" The Indians who few
years ago reeled and whooped through
our streets are now sober, and much bet
ter behaved than many of the whites.
Their meetings have been conducted with
perfect good order. On one or two occa-
sions a company ofyoung men of that viii
lage attempted to create disturbance.
They were shot out of the great tent with
out mercy. These are some of the Indians

a Azaas- - - aEss a.
ArHENs. o., May 28-Generel G. H.
GrosvenOr to-day, by Welch & Welch and
DeSteigner s. Jewett, his attorneys, filed
his petition in the Court of Common Pleas
for damages in an action for libel aga ainst
Charles L. Kurtz, Gazette news agent, and
the Cincinnati Gazette Company, Rich
ard Smith and Samuel Rockwell Reed,
laying his damages at 10000.
The petition contains three counts, el-
aborately and carefully drawn. The first
charges that the Gazette, on the 9TH of
May, 1879, in an editorial article headed
Legislative Smuggling.' charged him
with felony in his official character as a
Representative in the Ohio House of Rep
resentafives in 1874, in Introducing House
Bill No. 1876, relating to ticketscalpers.
/ The second count charges that on May
| 81, 1879, the Gazette, in an editorial COM
menting on note written to the CleVe-
land Herald, denying that he had sent an
anonymous circular to SandusIy, attack
ing the Hon. Chas. Foster, repeated the
/ charge, and asserted that GrosVenor' s
card was false, and stated that he had
sent such a circular, and offered to pay
for the publication, and fnrther, that ii
/ 1bss1 W
egate to the Convention one year ago,
when he. had only a proxy, and also for
| charging him with having made fight
against both Taft and Foster which was
neither fair nor honorable eps
/ The third count alleges that on May %
1879, said Newspaper charged him falsely
with having stolen or speeulated in cot
ton, or miseondncted himself with rela-
tion to cotton in the army, and with OBJ
tanning his promotion bV trick and re.
Ipeating in much more aggrayating
form the charge of felony in the Rail
road ticket bill matter, under the head ,oi
Ifelonions bat strictly ho6orabIe Mr.
Kurtz resides here, and service will bt
made on him tomorrow, and then Writs
will be sent to Hamilton County.
1t may be said now that the charge tha
General Grosvenor was only proxy ont
year ago at Cincinnati is not true, anL
that the charge that he has done aught tC
hurt Foster seems equally untrue and ab
surd.
The serious matters are the charges O
felony, made in. direct words, and tn
cotton matter.

Beer DrInI1lng in the UnIsed states.

Beer Drinking i'm the UnIsed states.
For some years past decided inclina-
tion has been apparent all over the country
to give up the use of whisky and other
strong alcohols, nsing as substitute beer
and bifters and other compounds. This
is evidently founded on the idea that beer
is not harmful and contains large amount
of nutriment; also that bitters may have
some medicinal quality, which viii neu-
tralize the alcohol it eOneeals, etc These
theories are without confirmation in the
observations of physicians and chemists
| where either has been used for any length
/ Of time The constant use of beeris found
to produce a species of degeneration Of all
the organism, profound and deceptive.
1 Fatty deposits, diminished circulation,
conditions of fcongestions, and perversion
of functional activities, local inflamma-
tions of both the liver and kidneys, are
constantly yresent. intellectually, stu
por amounting almost to paralysis arrests
the reason, precipitating all the higher
faculties into mere animalism !; sensual
selfish, sluggish, varied only with parox-
! ysms of anger, that are senseless and bru-
tai; in appearance the -beer-drinker may
be picture Of health, but in reality he il
most incapable of resisting disease. A
slight injury, severe cold, or shock t.
! body or mind, will commonly provok
I aehte disease, ending fatally. Compared
! with inebriates, who use different form
: of alcohol. he is more incurable, ant
T more generally diseased. The constan
2 use of beer every day gives the system n
time for recuperation, but steadily lower
the vital forces; tits our observation tina

the very lowest forms of inebriety, close
IL allied to criminal insanity. The mos
dangerous class of tramps and rufians il

A telegram from Shelbyville to the
Cincinnati Ga@ette says:
L DR.. Fishblatt, a travelling physician,
has fallen into the strong arms of the law
in this city, and it is quite probably that
he will be strongly embraced before he is
out of its clutches. He has had in the
Shelby Republican, for three months, an
advertisement column in length, and in
addition to this in the last two editions
has had a column of locals. Mr.. SD.
Thompson, editor of the Republican, hear
ing that Fishblatt intended leaving town,
went to him for his money, and he was
told if he wanted any pay he had better
whistle for it. Mr.. then sWOre out a
warrant of attachment, which was placed
in the hands of Constable Thrawis, who
went to the Jackson House to attach his
goods. Fishblatt locked his door and
would not allow, the officer to enter his
room. Mr.. Thompson then sWore out an
other warrant, and the venerable doctor
is now compelled TO remain till his bills
are paid. The proprietor of the hotel has
his baggage for board bill, and the NJ.
D. is stopping at the expense of the
county. His plan of operation is about
tins He makes a contract for having his
advertisements inserted, and when he is
called on to liqnidate offers an individual
check on a bank in New York, Whichis OF
no account. This plan he has carried out
successfully, and tried it on Mr.. Thomp-
son, but failed. As9letter received from
the editor of the Cambridge City Tribune
states that he played his game there.
