JOSEPH COOK,
The Appearance of this Distinguishe
Lecturer in st. Paul.

fhe Appearance of this Distins uished
Lecturer in st. Paul.
The Opera House was filled last night to
listen to Joseph Cooks lecture entitled s'Ulti-
mate America. ~, He was introduced by w. D.
Cornish. He is a little above the average
height, very c2rrulent, forid complexion, and
wears a full beard.
In commencing the lecturer said that he had
come to st. Paul on a sacred pilgrimage
There lay buried in one of st. Paurs ceme-
tries citizen to whose preaching he was more
indebted than any other man. He could not
speak ON his themes without first paying a
tribute to the memory of his beloved friend
He the son of Governor, and was a
statesman himself, which might not have been
detected in his preaching. He was thcologian,
but ne had first been trained as lawyer. He
had taken an active part in building up the
school system of st. Paul, and had taken
great interest and pride in her high school.
(Applause.)
This preacher stood at the head of church
of which the speaker became a member when
fourteen years old, and in his opinion the
Rev. Mr.. Mattocks, of whom he spoke, had
contributed more to form his early impressions
for good than all other things put together.
Proceeding wit his lecture proper, be illus
trated the greatness of America by referring
to chart of Europe, Asia, America and the
Roman empire, demonstrating that the United
States had more arabic land than all the other
countries put together. In material prosperity
the United States was SURPRISING every
nation on the face of the globe.
he proceeded to paint in glowing colors not
only the future, but the present of this coun-
try, citing Glads' ones utterance that the
scepter would soon depart from the United
Kingdom to the United States. Referring to
the G reat riots of 1877 he urged military pro-
lection for the great cities. He condemned
Tweed and his limitations ccnsured our treat
mcnt of the Chinese. and favored IN educa-
tional suffrage test. He spoke for three hours,
and held his large audience with wonderful at
tention.

Writ of Habeas Corpus Case-Declared
Citizens and Amenable to the Same Law
as White Men With the Same Rights and
Privileges.
OMAHA, NEB., May 12.-Somc weeks ago f.
N. Tibbitts, assistant editor of the Omaha
Herald, engaged counsel to sue out a writ of
party who were being returned to Indian Ter
ritory by military force, having fled from sick
ness, which was rapidly exterminating the
pleton argued the case for the Indians, without
tee. Judge Dundy of the U. 8. courts gave
decision to-day. The points decided are:
First-That an Indian is person within
meaning of the laws of the United States, and
has therefore right to sue out writ of habeas
c'ftpus in the federal court and before federal
judges in all cases where he may be confined
or in custody under color of authority ofithe
United States, or where he is restrained of lib
erty in violation of the constitution or laws.
Second-That General Crook, the respondent,
being commander of the military department
of the Platte, has custody of the relators under
color of authority of the United States and in
violation of the laws thereof.
Third-That no rightful authority exists for
removing, by force, any of these Poncas to the
Indian Territory, as General Crook has been
directed.
Fourth-That Indians possess the inherent
right of expatriation, as well as the more for
tunate white race, and have an inailenable right
to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, SO
long a, they obey the laws and do not trespass
on forbidden ground.
Fifth-Being restrained of liberty under
color Of the authority of the United States and
in violation of the laws thereof, the relators
must be discharged from custody, and it is SO

The CURE FOR INTEMpERANcE.-
The Aberdeen evening express"
gives in a recent number an account
off practical test of DR.. D'Unger's
muchtalked.of "Cinchona Rubra"
cure for intemperance, at the Heath
cot Hydropathc Establishment in
that city. The subject was brought
to the attention Of DR.. Stewart,
President of the above establish.
ment, by several gentlemen who had
been discussing the matter, and it
was very soon agreed chat patient,
such as would make the case test
one, should be put through course
of treatment at Heathcot. A patient
was soon found, who is described as
"a man possessed Of no mean share
OF accomplishments, and yet in the
prime of life, who for years had been
the slave of habits that were surely
dragging him to ruin, who, indeed,
four months ago presented the ap-
pearancs of physical and mental
wreck" The following is given as
the result of the treatment Of the
case:
After the first few doses the in
tense craving for drink became less,
and gradually disappeared; while in
place of it there was manifested a
no less marked aversion to the aloo-
hol, which shortly grew into positive
disgust. The treatment was contin.
ued for three months, after the lapse
of which period the patient returned
to Aberdeen, with color in his
cheeks that for years had been ab
sent, and such health and vigor in
his movements as could not fail to
carry conviction regarding the result
of the work. The once dscrepit and
maudlin drunkard has been furnished
with employment; physically the man
had been retrieved from utter ruin.
The treatment was applied in two
other cases, in both OF which the
same results were obtained. AS our
contemporary justly says, it would
doubtless be rash to regard these
cases as complete, but the facts as
they stand are sufficiently interesting
it seems to US, to deserve publicity.

the LICENSE SYSTEM.

Gen. o. o. Howard writes to the
"Valley Fountain,".a very neatly
printed temperance paper published
at Albany, Ogn., as follows:
This enemy of our people--strong
drink, with its by ydra hsads---is strong
ly intrenched. How can we meet it
and conquer? We pick up q few
worn out victims, and help them, but
it only makes the enemy laugh in
scorn. He recruits his forces from
our precious families; from our
splendid schools and colleges; from
our Sabbath teaching and church or
ganizations; he gets behind all our
pressing necessities, and bind us a
people, hand and foot. For example
our public debt is enormous; we
must pay it, and consequently tax
whisky, the brandy and the wine
for the people will have these things
at any price. The tax becomes the
principal so1rce of income. There
is in the United States license, a
grand charter Of responsibility. We
must, as government, encourage
distilleries and ginmills OF every de.
scription, for they increase the pub
lie revenue. l need not hint at it;
we are the making of the vicious ap.
petites of our childdren-appetites,
which INDUCED, will cause their tenn
poral, if not their eternal ruin-we
are making OF them ways and means
TO defray our honest debts.
If this be true, what have you and
got to say to the poor bartender,
who simply supports his family out
of the bread ard clothing ola few
wives and children of drunkards in
his neighborhosd ? "My business,
he may we'll say, "has government
sanction; my object is as high as
that of Uncle Sam; for it is not that
l like the business, but it enables Inc
to get private revenue"
1t will be said that the true rene.
dy is with the children; correct pub.
lie sentiment through them. Yet i,
is not wise, when you see that the
ocean is daily washing away your
foundations, to postpone too long the
dikes and barriers. Intemperance
comes in like a food, and seems now
to sweep us all into helpless strug.
giles in the maelStrom of its destroy
ing power. May God in his mercy
show our people how to build the
barriers--in the family, in the school,
in the church, and in the State
