Net A PrOhtbitiOnfst.

A mother and a babe were among the
passengers at the Central depot i'm De-
troit. She had the child carefully
wrapped up, and this fact, perhaps. at
tracted the attention Of a big fellow with
athree-story overcoat anda rusty satch-
el in his hand. Sitting down beside
her he remarked "Cold weather for
such little people, isn't it'' She faint
ly nodded. Does he seem to feel it
much % continued the man. She shook
her head. " Is it healthy child ?" he
asked, seeming greatly interested. "He
was up to few moments ago." she
snapped out, "but Pm afraid he's smell
ed so much VIII iskey that he'll have
the delirium tremens before nigGt !"
The man got right mp and walked out
Of the room and WAS afterwards seen
buying cloves and cinnamon.

Zach [ handler Again,

In the U. S. Senate, last Saturday,
Senator Ben. Hill Of Georgia. undertook
to run a tilt with old Zach Chandler, OF
Michigan. The Georgian quoted an old
letter from Chandler, written III 1861,
in which the latter said that "without
a little blood letting the Union would
not be worth a rush," and went on to
remark that for all that there was nc
Chandler blood spilled. The following
Colloquy ensued:
Mr.. Chandler-"The Senator from
Georgia says that didn't shed any
blood. How much blood did he shedF'
Mr.. Hill--"The difference between us
was that | was not ia favor of shedding
anybody's blood''
Mr.. Chandler-Nor |, except to pun
ish treason and traitors. Continuing,
Mr.. Chandler said the Senator from
Georgia was not the man to talk about
other men Saving their own blood. lie
took care to put his blood in Fort Lafay-
ette, where it was out of the way OF
both rebel and Union bullets. He (MI
Chandler) then, as now, was i'll favor
of the Government of the United States,
and ahhorrpd the idea of State sover
eighty over national sovereignty, and
was then, as now. prepared even to
shed blood to save the Government.
But the Senator from Georgia was, as
he testified before committee, Union
secessionist. He would like to know
VIZ at that meant; he could not under
stand it. The Senator from Georgia
thought the South had right to be
solid, but solid North weuld destroy
the Cnion. The South was no more
solid to-day than in 1857, and ever
since, and no quarrel with the North
made it solid. 1t was solid because it
was determined to rule or to ruin the
nation. 1t tried the ruin scheme with
arms aud failed. 1t comes back to
ruin it by Withholding supplies te car
~ or tho Government. The men have
changed since 1857, but not the meas
ures. The other side then fought to
overthrow the Government : now they
vote and talk for the selfsame purpose.
"You are to-day, as you were then, -
concluded Mr.. Chandler, "determined
either to.rule or to ruin this Govern
ment, and you can't do it,
