The correspondent of the London Tunes, In
speaking Of the surrender OF the Zulu King
Cetywayos youngest brother to the English,
says: I'm appearance Mugwende is q low,
cunning looking savage, with forbidding
look about his eyes. He has a tendency to
elephantiasis. caused by his weakness for ma
tive beer. which, 1t is said, he INDUCES In to
excess. His wives are conspicuous rather by
the scanty nature of their costume, viz: a
string Of fine beads around the loins, than by
beauty Of person. The hair is shaver close,
except round patch on the crown of the
head, where the hair is gathered into a cone
and plastered with red clay"

In Scotland there is branch of the
legal profession known as WRITERS to
the Signet.' A young gentleman was
apprenticed to one of these writers. The
youth thought himself very fine sort of
person, much above ordinary apprentices.
One evening the master desired him to
carry a bundle of papers to a lawyer
whose residence was not far of. The
packet was received in silence, and
minute after the master saw porter run
INTO the outer Office In few minutes
the youth walked out, followed by the
porter carrying the parcel
Selling his hat the master followed, and
overtaking the porter. relieved him of
the packet and walked in the rear of the
apprentice The lawyers house being
reached and the doorbell rung, the youth
called
Here, fellow, give me the parcel!' and
slipped sixpence in his hand without
looking around.
Here it is for your exclaimed voice
which caused the youth to turn around
His confusion. ss he beheld his master,
made him speechless. Never after that

a Word.

Is it not unaccountably strange that.
while life and happiness are placed be-
fore us and made SO easily accessible, so
many of our fellow beings persistently
choose misery and death
1t Is conceded that the very common
custom of drinking alcoholic beverages
alone forces upon our people the very
fearful cost sixty thousand human lives
per year. The awful fact that these go
down to drunkard's graves. should so
arrest the attention of every legislative,
executive and judicial officer of this ma
tion that their individual and united
energies would be freely directed to
devise means of escape from the fatal
ravages of this terrible plague. But
when we consider that the drink traffic
not only costs so many lives per year, but
that it loads US with taxation, fills our
asylums with demented humanity and
our penitentiaries with criminals of State;
that pauperism and crime, poverty, ply
sical suffering and mental anguish, inev-
itably follow in its train, we find reason
enough for every man and woman to be
thoroughly awakened to sense of home
protection and moral responsibility. and
to WELD every influence in their power
to stay the rising tide of this sea of
death.
No plague ever visited our shores pro-
ducing one half the direful results of this
cherished evil. No potentate of earth
ever imposed burdens SO oppressive and
degrading as those of King Alcohol.

TIronton Register.

As bad sign of the times as there is,
is the indifference with which many men
of influence and intelligence exhibit to
the habit of liquor drinking. Here is a
vice second to none. 1t is the cause OF
the greatest proportion of the woes and
wrongs of society. Since slavery has
gone, intemperance may be called the
sum of all villainies There is no denial
of the terrors which the liquor traffic in
fiicts. Everybody grants it; and yet,
there are so many who affect to think
that it is weakness to mention it. There
are men who are going down hill every
day of their lives through the use Of
whisky their friends and neighbors
know and see it; they talk about it and
mourn with each other over the sad pros
pect; and yet, these same unfortunate
men will resent any unfriendly allusion
to an old whisky bottle as quick as they
would an attack on the honor of their
homes.
Men whose eyes are open to the condi
ton of the roads. the unreliability OF
river navigation, the irregularity of the
mails, the shortcomings of the schools,
the hypocrisy of church members, the
rascality of assignments. the wayward
ness of courts, and are conscious of every
phase of social and political derelection,
are blind as bats to the overwhelming
evil of drir king whisky Everything
else they can eloquently discuss and per
haps denounce, but that vice. with a per
sstency most mysterious. they will sup
port with their money and influence.
1t is high time every such man were
calling halt, and asking himself, if his
influence in this matter is on the side OF
good-for the honor and welfare of his
family and society," 1t is the greatest
question he can PROFOUND, and takes
precedence of politics, railroads, furnaces
every thing, for there is no prosperity
that intemperance will not poison or
kill.
We write these words because this
community needs to think of this mat
ter Any thoughtful observer can see
the victims of the vice going down one
by one To rescue them, the friendly
interest OF every we'll meaning citizen
should be continually exerted.

The man who had fully made I'D his mind
never to poll another vote was ''around" at
the last election. He was heard of ON our
street corners and 10 groceries for a fortnight
previous, and it did him heap Of good to
have men reply to his assertion:
ooh, don't say that, Mr.. Jorkins. We can't
spare you from politics, indeed we can't
But he was obstinate. He had deliberately

near the polls, and no arguments could move
him. Even when men predicted that both
parties would be smashed to pieces if Mr.
Jorkins didn't come out, he wouldn't relent
During the morning Of election day he ex-
pected callers influential citizens to entreat
him for heavens sake to come and poll his
vote and save the eountry-but they didn't
call. He also expected to hear rumors that
the whole election had been declared 'off' on
account of his absence, but no such rumors
came
Mr.. Jorkfns walked out after dinner. He
truly hoped that he would not meet any of
the candidates and he rushed to the polls
and-he didn't meet any. He expected that
every citizen would wildly demand If he had
voted yet, but not one of the hundreds he met
they talked about bilious fever, catarrh, the
weather, etc. Even when Mr. Jorkins acct
