,g it, know they are telling an un'

iuS w huOW ph0J oAo toliinS "h uh-
truth.
Would it not be right should you
or I or any other man, see one of our
fellow-beings in the act Of plunging
into the water with the intention Of
taking his own life, to catch him and
with all the power that is in US, en-
deavor to dissuade him from his pur-
pose? OF course it would, and there
are none but fools and idiots that will
deny it.
Now, sir, is there any difference
between man taking his life by
shooting, drowning, or hanging than
from the indulgence of a never satia-
Bile appetite for strong drink. I un-
hesitatingly answer no, thousand
times, no. We'll, if it is human ma
ture for US to exert ourselves to keep
him from taking his life in such vio-
lent manner, is it not in perfect ac-
cord with the same for US to use all
the means in our power to save him
from suicide by that slow, but alas,
too sure process, the use of alcohol in
any of its abominable forms |
would like to hear some of the saloon
keepers Of our county answer this if
they can. And, furthermore, I chal-
lenge any man to produce an ar
gument that will prove that alcohol
is in any way beneficial to the human
system. In all the latest works on
diseases and their treatment alcohol
is scarcely mentioned.
Now, 1 have few words to say to
the doctors. In making up prescrip-
tions, instead of using alcohol, why
not use some other better stimulant-
something that will not set the pa
TENTS brain on fire and keep him
sick for thrice as long period as he
would be otherwise.
I am not professor of medicine;
neither do I claim any extensive
knowledge Of it; but, thank Cod
can read, and in reading the opinions
of learned professors I find that near
ly all say that there are twenty bet
ter stimulants to be found in any
drug store than alcohol. Alcohol was
first distilled, according to an old sto-
ry I've heard, by Satan. Once upon
time Gas the old folks have it) the
devil, while walking along road
in the forest on the lookout for bar
gains, spied man of woe begone as
pect sitting on the moss by the road
side.
"Good.day to you," said the arch
fend.
"Good-day," answered the forlorn
one.
"My friend" said Satan, "you look
sad what ails you? If you have any
disease to which human flesh ls heir
I can and will cure you for consid-
Grafton which, by the way, is this: l
will furnish you with bottle of my
medicine whenever required by you
and warrant it to make you feel 80
good that you will be continually
wanting more. 1t will drown your
sorrow, ease your pains, and eat your
gains. All l ask of you is to induce
as many of your fellow men, and wo-
men too, to help you drink
The unwise man accepted this offer
and the devil had by this means in
troduced into the world the most
damnable traffic that ever put ma
ton to shame. CHAMPION.

the hunter beneath. There was a
prospect now of a speedy and san
culinary terminus to the bloody con-
ilict, but Toms dog, encouraged by
his masters voice, now came to the
rescue. The noble brute sprang
with a growl upon the Indians
back, who turned to ward off his
new danger. Tom, by a sudden
violent effort, overturned him, and
springing to his feet, ran for his rifle
which lay at the foot of the tree.
The savage rolled to the extreme
edge of the bank, and sprang up as
Tom turned with rifle dubbed, only
to see the last act of the tragedy
for Nero again sprang fiercely at his
painted foe, and the impetus given
by his struggle and weight cOmpell-
ed the Indian to step backward over
the precipice, and both took the ia
tai plunge. Tom walked with diff
Guilty to the brow and looked over,
but only few bubbles and waves
marked the spot where they had
disappeared. Believing his noble
dog was undoubtedly dead, he care
fully reloaded his rifle, thinking
other Indians might be lurking
about; he then made the best of his
way to the fort, where he arrived,
and after having his wound dressed,
surrounded by his boon companions,
he related the details of his morning
adventure.
The next morning at dawn the
sentinel had his attention attract
ed to low pitiful whining under
the wall. Upon examining the
spot from whence the sound pro-
ceeded, he found Toms faithful
friend Nero, somewhat injured by
his late encounter. By careful treat
ment the dog recovered, and was
soon able to join his master in his
perilous hunts again.

A pitiful story that comes from
Massachusetts illustrates a phase Of
poverty that is far harder to endure
than hunger and cold, yet is seldom
thought of by the benevolent. A
mother carried the body of her dead
child from one town TO that in which
Others of her offspring had been
buried, but not having money
enough to pay the expense of inter
ment the remains lay at a railway
station for more than day. When
finally, arrangements for the buriHl
had in some way been made, the
woman was penniless, so the sole
mourner placed the little coffin ON
her shoulder and started alone to
bear it to its last resting place. For
tunately a kind-hearted hack-driver
seeing the wretched mothers pred
icament, came to her relief and en-
abled her to make her sad journey
with comfOr at least; but the terror.
the hopelessness, the sense of des-
olation that the poor creature must
first have suffered are beyond inn
agination. Starvation would have
been easier to endure, yet probably
all these were prefaced by hours OF
anguish at the bedside of the dying
darling to whom the poverty strick-
en- mother could give only love and
tars, neither of which had power
to alleviate pain or save life. How
many similar cases our own city af-
ords is known only to heaven. With
all of the charitable organizations Of
which we are so proud, there is YET
such lack of systematic visitation
of the suffering poor that tragedies
more sorrowful than any the stage
ever knew are constantly being en-
acted, all through poverty.-Ne1

The New Orleans Times says: The
South is prosperous and prospecting,
and richer that ever before, but the
wealth than exists is more evenly
distributed than in oldendays. Espe-
cially is to be noticed that our farm
ers have done well, and hold more
money in their own hands and
are freer from debt than at any
time within the past fifty years.
AprOpOs of these remarks we see it
stated that Mr.. Edward Atkinson
has recently published sOmeinterest-
ing statistics regarding the cotton
crop of the Southern States, from
which il appears that the increase of
fifty years has been $3.50, 1874 bales
The fifteen years crop of cotton have
brought to the cultiVatOrs over $50
per bale, or about So, SOC, 000, 900, in
gold value, and the excess of
production consequent upon free
labor has been worth nearly $500,
600, 900 in gold coin. The value of
these fifteen crops of cotton at the
factories or at the ports of shipment
has been little if any, less than "a,
000, 200, 600 in gold.

he Gentle with Animals.

Some persons govern their chill,
dren and domestic animals with the
whip. Boys thus governed, either
run away from their parents, or
leave them without much regret as
soon as they become of lawful age
to do So. Some farmers are kind
and gentle with their:dOmestic ami
mails, and the brutes reciprOcate
their Treatment by showing the
same acts. And this leads US to say,
in the words of a wise man, ''tame-
ness and gentleness are qualities to
be encouraged in all domestic ami
mails" Their value is discovered
when it is necessary to handle the
animal at critical periods. When
if not affection, exists,
we can do mech with suffering
when otherwise interference
might make matters worse. 1t
would be well to make friends with
cows, and sheep, especially, by pet
ting them, giving them salt and
palatable things,a and mingling with
them in the yards. Every animal
should be trained to be handled
when loose in the yard.

How a Great General Kept a Trust.


baltimore Gazette, June 29.l
During the gloomy period of the
war, a man of fine martial bearing,
attired i'm the uniform of q general
officer of the United States army,
entered the counting room of well
known banking house in this city,
where his advent quickly attracted
the attention of the employees en-
gagged i'm the dull routina of business.
The officer, after courteously apollo
giving for the intrusion, proceeded
to state his business. 1t appeared
that after a battle in which his
troops had been engaged the officer
had been implOred by one of his sol
diers, who was dying from wounds
received in the recent conflict, to re-
cover some money deposited in q
Baltimore bank and pay it over to
his aged mother. The dying man
could not recall the name of the
banker with whom the money had
been left, and it was in pursuance of
his search for the funds that the Off
Ger had visited the bank. The
bank, though knowing nothing of
the deposit in question readily gave
such information to the gentlemanly
officer as he thought would aid him
in his search, which eventually pr
owed successful. The banker remar-
ked yesterday: SCI was so struck by
his voice, face and manners that
they made upon me Il lasting inn
preston. / shall register on pur-
pose to vote for him at the next
presidential election. He was Gen
eral Winfield Scott Hancock
