A short time ago there was large tenn
perance meeting in New York, at which
the alarming increase of drunkenness
among women was discussed. DR.. S.
Ireneus Prime, editor of the N. Y. OBJ
server, said:
II do not think, so far as my knowl-
edge goes, that there is any increase of
intenperance among the women of the
educated classes. There is certain bois-
terousness or levity among ladies shop
ping, which is often mistaken for the eff
fects of drinking Wine is used good
deal in private families, but perhaps not
more than formerly. There is no doubt
that intemperance has q terrible effect on
women. Not long ago, it will be remem-
bered, Mrs. Janisch, under the influence
of Intoxicating drinks, took her own
child, just old enough to speak, and plac-
ed it on a heated stove, and, dIsregarding
its piteous cries for mercy, kept it there
until it was literally roasted alive, Ii the
use of Intoxicating liquors converts
mother into monster what evil will it
not cause? When l think of the 5000
places in this city alone in which men
are permitted by law to sell liquor, which
makes monsters out of mothers, and con-
verts men into murderers; when l think
of the millions of people this moment in
our country writhing in the anguish of
hunger, cold and misery, without cause
save this one cause of all; when | think
of the prisons filled with criminals, and
the poor houses thronged with paupers;
when | know that all this wretchedness
might be assuaged, am filed with won
der that all good people do not rise at
once and put an end to the legslized dis
tribution of the immediate cause of mis-
cry and crime There is no question in
politics. science, theology and morals in
more urgent need of consideration by
the American people than this.

Gen. Butler notified Hon. Clarkson N.
Potter that he would oppose the investi-
cation of the cipher kilograms. At first.
Democrats thought this opposition to be
on account of the Generals belief that
private kilograms should be held sacred.
They are gradually coming to the con-
clusion, however, that while the General
is opposing the investigation, his crooked
eye is looking in the direction of Gram
ercy Park, and that he only opposes in
vestigation in order to make Democrats
work more zealously in exposing the
scheme to buy the Presidency.

We are told that "the Administration
was somewhat surprised" at the defeat of
Gen. Hawley, in the Senatorial contest
in Connecticut We are decidedly
pleased to learn that the Administration
is surprised. We were not aware that it
eyer allowed itself to be surprised. It
seems, however, that we were slightly in
error. We may add, however, that the
great Republican party is not surprised.

The law against polygamy, if enforced,
would place things in terrible mix in
Utah. The Saints" are making every
effort to have the law 80 changed as to
apply only to marriages contracted after
its passage. Cannon, the Congressman
from Utah, claims that the enforcement
of the law as it stands, will cause great
suffering among the women and children.
1t does seem little hard to say to a
saint who has half dozen or more
wives, that he must give them all up
save one-especially if the first wife
chances to be old, ugly and cross. But
we very much fear that the "Saints" will
have to come down to the ways of com-
mon humanity.

is very gloomy prospect for all classes.
Fine estates are going to ruin, and those
who are not landowners, are on the
verge of actual want. From all of which
we infer that in agricultural regions the

She saw her divorced husband out sleigh

Gladstone's Pomatum Pot.

It is said that there is something very
touching in Mrs. W. E. Gladstone's care
of her illustrious husband. She has
never once left his side all through the
Scotch campaign, and being near him
she never takes her eyes off him. She
wraps him up when he leaves room,
places chair for him when he enters
Is as careful of him, in short, as if he
were her only son and still in petticoats.
When Mr.. Gladstone was making his
great speeches in parliament On the for
eign policy of the government, he used
to furnish much innocent merriment to
the members about him by the produc-
ton of what looked like pomatum pot,
the contents of which he from time to
time absorbed. Night after night he
brought this crockery with him, formally
produced it from his coat-tail pocket,
and placed it within reach on the table.
Then every one knew that he was going
to make a great speech. After much
discussion and an agony of curiosity.
one of his parliamentary brothers ven-
tured to ask what the mysterious mix.
ture might be. MIR. Gladstone very
frankly told him that it was simply an
egg beaten up in a glass of sherry, though
why it should have been carried about
in pomatum pot remains unexplained
to this day.

have attempted such an imposition.
It depesded for success on an
assumed ignorance of his personal prop
erty on the part Of others. Ii an OBJ
s.rvant attendant at the hotel had re-
marked the contents of the portmanteau,
or any one at home had missed a familiar
suit, Randolph Payne must have been
found out, unless, indeed, he had pur-
chased an entirely new suit of clothes as
he passed through London ON his way to
Wales. He,would scarcely haveneglect-
&c such precaution, and then, by lock-
ing the portmanteau at the hotel, the
traces of his existence would have been
reduced to a minimum. At any rate,
he was hidden completely from the
world until he was unearthed by Mr..
Drysdale. That gentleman he sue
ceeded in swearing to secrecy, and this
point of the story recommends itself
strongly to the dramatist as q fine
chance for the skilfull exhibition of char
acter. What was Mr.. Drysdale to do?
To tell the truth at home would have
been to expose the heartlessness of the
adventurer, to condemn his character
and probably to ostracise him from the
society in which he had formerly moved.
The sudden shock of recovery might
have been fatal to the old people at home,
who believed their son dead and mourned
him as lost. La jo5e fat pearl and all
these circumstances had to be carefully
weighed by the friend of the family.
Arrived at home, he was probably
arguing with himself and considering
what best to do, when he received let
ter from the runaway. It was this let
ter, signed Randolph Mason," that
solved the mystery. Instantly recog-
nized by the father asin the handwriting
of his son, there was no need for further
silence on the part of Mr.. Drysdale.
In that scrap of paper was contained the
truth that restored son to life, though
it could never give back the confidence
that had been SO cruelty forfeited.
