CAPITAL PUNISHMENT AND IN
TEMPERANCE.


Aaron Payne, an old gentleman
ninety years of age, who resides in
Namhili county, breaches the following
temperance sermon ia connection with
discussions Of plans Tor the abolishment
Of capital punishment: 81 can, however,
propose plan that would avoid capital
punishment DO perhaps nine cases out
OF ten and that plan 81. 70 stop the
manufacture aud sale OF Intoxicating
drinks. This would rescue from the
poorJhouse, the insane asylum, the pen
iteutiary and the gibbet nearly all their
victims. And the cities could dispense
with most Of their police; their sinks Of
iniquity would be dried up, taxation
and crime would be greatly reduced,
disease aud death would be robbed OF
more than half It's victims, aud your
police courts would be almost dispensed
WITH and the insurance on all property
greatly reduced. And any city is capable
Of doing this by her Incorporated power.
VIII you do IL? TIL then we cannot
dispense with the death penalty. All Of
which is respectfully submitted to the
public generally, and TO the clergy es-
pecially"

Sex in Industry.

The Rev. Joseph Cook, Of Boston, re-
Gently preached a powerful sermon upon
this topic, from which we obtain the fol-
lowing statistics:
In 1870, the Massachusetts Labor Bu-
reau received statements OF personal
earnings and expenses from Is. h25
women depending for support upon
daily wages.
Many more than $1,000 returns were
received, but tine board struck out of
the account all the statements that were
in any way imperfect. over $1,000 good
ones remained, complete in every essen
tial particular. / undertake to saw the
world never saw as many budgets of
poor working girls opened as were ex-
amined officially ia this commouW Weaith

The average earnings were eighty-twO
cents q day. They worked on the aver

moro than forty years ago. The elder Seguin made
his first appearance in New York OF the old National
Theatre In 1888 as General Won du Zeimar in the
opera of "Amolie." and Mrs. Seguin made hor Amer
lean debut at the same time in I'll Barbicre di
Sivigla." They travelled stars throughout the
country for several years, Mrs. Seguin becoming
quite favorte and Mr.. Seyuin gaining repute both

merely criticise the reception as loud, vulgar
and Without any perception of the urtistic
side Of the case; but he criticised the artists
also and said explicitly, ''AIany people of
sense and judgment were amazed to find
that actors of high. talent should show
themselves to be tradesmen rather than
artists" In this way our correspond
ent showed the other side of the medal !;
showed that the robes of the MUSES. had
not been trailed through London with
out fetching some of tho mud which is
one of the characteristics of that ''damp
and murky city," And in all this we
are convinced that our correspondent,
who wrote in sympathy with the company,
told the strict truth as to their sentiments
and their grievances, and that Mr.. Hol-
lingshead, who sets himself up to de-
clare what is and what is not truth, is not
competent judge of that article.
But we notice that Mr.. Hollingshead has
peculiar support for his criticism of our
correspondent in an articNS in the last num-
Der of the London Saturday Reuiew, in which
the correspondence is referred to with
the vilifcation and dishonesty charac-
teristic of that journal. We do not
perceive in this case whether Mr.. Hol-
lingshead is the Reuieao's ally or the ReUie,c
his, but they are in quaint agreement III
their attempted perversion of statements
which they apparently cannot meet in a
fair way We have heard q great deal of
varieties of the oyster house critic, but we
scarcely expected to find this rampant old
dealer in Billingsgate handling that sort of
fish /; and we will say for its instruction
that the HERALD, whatever may be its
shortcomings, generally speaks for it.

that our citizens will have to take
