John b. Cough.
New York Sun.

John B. Cough, now lecturing in this
vincinity, seems to have lost very little,
if any, of his power over popular audi
ences. Indeed, some of his admirers
think that he has gained in eloquence
and force of presentation since his late
return from England. He has been a
lecturer on temperance nearly thirty
nine years, which is a very long period,
considering that he is now little more
than 60. He is not, as is often thought,
an American by birth. He was born
at Sandgate, England, his father having
been a pensioner of the Peninsular war;
and his mother a school mistress. AT
II years of age he came to this country
with an immigrant tradesman, and
went to work on farm in Oneida,
county, this State. Two years later he
removed hither, and turned a book
binder, but soon contracted habits of
dissipation, and sank literally into the
gutter. No man knows better than he
the evils of intemperance. He has
sounded the depths of its horrors. He
has had delirium tremens; he lost his
mother, wife and child while under the
spell of the alcoholic demon, as he
would put it; he has been frequenter
of the lowest groggeries, where he play
ed the bufo for liquor. In fact, it
was in those vile dens that he first dis
played his talent for mimicry and ora
tory. Having been induced to sign the
pledge, he related his experience as q
drunkard in so dramatic manner at
public meetings, that he at once took
high rank as an imprisoned speaker of
temperance, and has retained that
rank ever since, except during brief
backsliding, which he frankly avowed
at the time Cough is a natural orator,
and in his peculiar line has hardly an
equal. He has felt the ignominy, tue
Indebtedness, the despair, the appal-
ing terror which he so wildly describes,
and he has undeniably done a great
deal for the cause he so zealously advo-
Gates. He has lectured, it is said, near
$500 times; he has made money by his
calling. as we'll as wide reputation and
new life for himself. Intemperance
and temperance have been strikingly
illustrated in his case, by Cough ragged
and miserable in the kennel, and Cough
esteemed, selfconquered, and famous,
as one Of the very first temperance

Reckless Prescription of stimuIan' $.

In recent letter 10 the New York
Evangelist, Rev. Dr. Cuyler writes as fol-
lows IN regard to the temperance move
ment in Great Britain:
In thu medical profession the total
abstinence cause is making quite as rap
id progress as among the clergy and
the churches. Sir Henry Thompson,
whose practice Is worth 500 600 year,
has taken strong ground against alcohol.
ic beverages. He would even use wine
and brandy sparingly as a medicine.
When such men Of science as Thomp-
son, Sir VIM. Gull and DR.. Richardson
take such a position, it is deplorable
that so many physicians in Britain and
ia our own country, too, are constantly
endangeripg the lives and souls Of their
patients by the reckless prescription Of
port wines, ales and bourbon. Some Of
he worst cases of intemperance haYe
ever encountered, have grown from 8
medical prescription. An exemplary
member Of my own church was led into
shocking drunkenness by using an alec
hohc tonic prescribed by his family
physician. The poor brother was "saYed

An Eagle Attacks Two Little Children

In Lake county, Mimi, while little
Augustus Burr, aged years, was play
ing with his equally little sister, near
his home, down upon the juvenile
party came an enormous eagle, throw
ing the two children to the ground and
attempting to carry off the smaller one.
Then was exhibited the proves of the
small Augustus. Into the house he
went and out he came again with a
butcher knife; and that savage birds
legs he proceeded to cut and whack and
slash. Naturally the indignant eagle
left the girl, and engaged with the boy,
knocking him over, tearing his little
pantaloons, and scratching him severe
ly. The childish screams soon brought
the mother TO tie scene; and the I'M
pudent eagle flew to thetop Of the barn.
and sat there, still hungry for the little
girl. But neighbor Joe Betzler came, and
with his gun shot that eagle, and when
they measured him they found that il
was seven feet from one of his wing
tips to the other. The little Augustus
sheuld hereafter be called Augustus
Cesar.

A DUEL was fought with swords near
Paris, Dec. Goth, between Humbert, a
writer on the Not d'Ordre, end the editor
of the La1ateY7le. Humbert's sword was
broken during the fight, when the duel

In consequence of a cable dispatch re-

visited Edison at Menlo Park, and in
consequence of an editorial published in
the same paper to-day, and based on their
interviews, gas stocks, fell e5 following

ing on the question of a tax in aid of the
Des Moines and Milwaukee railroad,
the tax was carried by a large majority,
only light ballot being polled The
town OF Mitchellville, in the same county.
also voted the tax on the same day. The
tax in these two places amounts 10 about
100000.
THE Legislature OF South Carolina,
which adjourned Dec. 24tl after ses.
sion of 30 days, attempted to do so much
in so short space of time that many of the
bills passed were carelessly drawn and,
in some cases, fatally directive. A dis
patch of Dec. Both says serious mistake
has been found in the tax act, and the
governor will reconvene the assembly at
an early day to have the error corrected.
THE suit began by the government in
September, 1877, against Gen. John G.
Fremont, to recover $1,10S which it
was alleged was enormously paid to him
as major general of the army between
May IA, 1861, and July Is of the same
year, was discontinued in New York,
Dec 9th. The suit was brought because
it was believed that Gen. Fremont had
not reported for duty until after July 10.
1t was aflerward discovered that Gen.
Fremont had merely neglected TO file an
exceptance of his appointment.
THE will of Zachariah Chandler, da ed
March 81, 1856, was filed for probate
Dec. 3lst. 1t simply gives his entire
property equally TO his wife and daugh-
ter, Mary, now Mrs. Eugene Hale, of
Maine. 1t appoints George Jerome,
Allen Sheldon, and Charles Ducharme
executors, and is witnessed by ID. II.
Jerome and Recorder Swift. The doc
ument was found by the executors of
| Judge Edmunds, late postmaster at
Washington, among his papers. This is
something of a surprise as he had been
regarded as intestate.
A NEW YORK telegram of Dec 50th,
announces the failure of Lloyd Hough,
manufacturer of wire. He obtained the
contract for supplying wire for the Brook
| lyn bridge, and also for the Erie canal
| towing company, aud Atlantic cables.
| He had factories in Brooklyn and Nor
| issiana. His total liabilities are estima-
! ted at 100000, while his nominal assets
are $450,000. These assets consist of real
estate and factories in Brooklyn and
Morissiana, machinery, steel and wire,
and open accounts. The cause of the
| failure is attributed to the bridge con-
tract and expensive Improvements on his
property.
THE postmaster general issued an
order Dec. 30th directing the postmaster
at New York to refuse the payment OF

Proposed Repeal of the Thurman Law.
washington Telegram, 25th.

A great many letters have been re-
ceived here of late, from prominent
gentlemen of both political parties,
throughout the country, strongly COM
intending and endorsing the position
taken by Justice Field. in his dissenting
opinion on the consti;utionality of the
Thurman funding act, so far as it re-
lates to the Central Pacific railroad
company, and the general question of
the right of congress to control state
corporations. These letters, mostly adj
dressed to senators and representatives,
are thought TO foreshadow an earnest
movement in congress during the pres
ent session. to obtain repeal of the
Thurman law. But the prospects for
the success of such a movement, if I'M
dertaken, do not appear to be at al
promising.

DIR. MCCORMACK, Bishop of Achonry,
Sligo, and Mayo, publishes a letter to
day stating that ouEChristmas Eve he
gave food to 500 starving people, one
fifth of the whole population of Ballag-
hadereen town, ont of his own funds.
saving he reserves for darker, not
distant day" the money sent him by
charitable persons. He gives an ap-
palling picture of the approaching mis-
ery. He says: "Who can wonder that
discomfort and dissatisfaction are rife
and ready to speak out in this unhappy
land when the government looks on
with cruel apathy? If the truth must
be told, l hesitate not to say that the
government is to blame for the disloy-
atty of some of our people. Ii were q
miracle ii they were not disloyal to the
core" He censures the callous con-
duct of the government, who, while
they cannot spare money to avert an
irish famine, can waste millions in wars
of eouivocal morality, and contrasts
strongly the conduct of Prussia in deal
niewith the famine IN Silesia.
