A remarkable movement has for
some months been going on in the
ancient city Of Alexandria, where the
entire population seems to have sud
denly awakened TO the ravages of
the destroyer, sparing no age, sex,
or station. A Reform Club, num-
bering more than eight hundred,
many of them reformed" men, has
spacious quarters, kept open con-
stantly, with Saturday evening lunch
and musical entertainments.
The regular public meeting, on
Friday evening, was lately addressed
byfour ministers, Rev. Messrs. Pierce
and Boyle, pastors Of the Northern
and Southern Methodist churches,
Presiding Elder Beyers and Rev. j.
w. Chickering, Secretary Of the Con
gressional Society, thelatter express
ing the wish that some Of their spirit
could be infused into the Forty-sixth
Congress.
Several liquor shops have been
closed, and the proprietor Of one
has joined the club. They are plan

a building.

Served Him RIuht.

The young people Of Cincinnati are
excited over a promised wedding that
didn't take place. The young man
and young woman had known each
other from childhood, and were prom
inent in society circles. The we'd
ding guests were assembled, and the
loving couple were on the floor.
The minister pronounced the usual
question to the bride as to whether
she would take the man for husband,
etc., when, much to the surprise of
all present, she answered ''No. ="
Thinking she misunderstood him the
minister asked the question again,
and again she answered 'ENo"
This stopped the ceremony, and the
story came out. The young man ad-
dicted to the use Of Intoxicating liq-
uors, had promised reform if the
lady would consent to marry him,
and had signed the pledge. He had
been on trial for months, but, as the
bride turned TO him as they stood
side by side before the minister, she
caught the odor of whisky on his
breath, and detected signs of incip
lent intozication. She closed the
extraordinary scene by stating that
she could not trust her future to a
man who had broken a promise so
solemnly made. EzpostulatiOns
and entreatie8 were all in vain,
The wedding did not take place.

Save the Children.


It is estimated that there are at
the present time more than forty
millions of inhabitants in the United
States. And when my mind at
tempts to grasp the great future,
for good or evil, which must result
from the training of the youth which
form such a vast portion of this
multitude, I long for some moral
earthquake to arouse the parents
from the deep slumber Of indifference
and selfshness which blinds them to
the welfare Of those who, in the next
decade, must become our voters and
lawmakers. As such, they can be
trained to bless and not curse this
nation. Certainly every friend of
humanity must tremble in view of
the food Of intemperance, which now
threatens to destroy the young.
Three months ago, in the city Of
New York, a little girl, who was a
member of an industrial school, and
only six years old, became a victim
to the rum demon. Her father was
a saloon-keeper. The rooms where
the family lived were in connection
with the saloon. The child had
tasted the liquor and learned to like
1t one morning she aWoke before
the rest of the family, went into the
saloon, reached a bottle, drank a
quantity Of the vile stuff, and in two
hours she was a corpse. How can
we express, in suitable terms, the
danger of such surroundings to the
children? In the city of Chicago,
not long ago, two boys Of only seven
years Of age, were discovered in a sa-
loon. They had obtained liquor,
became intoxicated, and quarreled,
and then fought as if they had been
tigers. The keeper of the den con-
fessed that he had sold these chill
dren rum as many as two hundred
times.
Another instance, which must FIJI
the heart with dismay and horror !
In Chicago two boys were found,
one Sabbath day, in a saloon, playing
pool. When questioned they con
fessed that they were sons Of Chris
tain families. And when their

The work in this State goes brave
ly on. The Valley Fountain, in Civ
ing encouraging signs of progress,
mentions the fact that the State Ag-
Eicultural Society has decided by a
large majority not to grant license
to sell even as much as lager-beer at
the next State Fair. The Christian
and Temperance people made a
strong fight against it last year, and
this year the victory comes.

save tha RagE and OId PaDer.

The most noticeable perhaps, of all the
advances during the late "boom" has been
in the price Of rags, which have more than
doubled in value, and are now worth to
81 cents per pound. At this price, and
even at much less, it will pay to save them
and sell. The same is true of old papers
of nearly every kind, as by cleansing they
are recon7erted into white paper by the
manufacturers.
In consequence of the scarcity Of rags
and old paper, the price of "print," /" or pa
per for news purposes, has gone up from 81
to 10 cents at wholesale. If this price
keeps up, there will be a general rise in
the subscription price of newspapers.
Almost any family can now make
enough in a year by selling rags and old
paper to pay for all their reading matter.

1t can almost be asserted that st. Jacobs
Oil works wonders. Shortly before the
New Year, when I visited my family in
Mitchell, found my son Edward, a lad
little more than ten years old, very sick.
He suffered with Rheumatism, and so ter
rible that he was perfectly stiff in his limbs,
could not possibly walk, and had to be
carried from place to place. At once 1
sent for some st. Jacobs Oil, used it ac-
cording to directions, and in a few days
could see evidence of considerable improve
ment. On the tenth of this month I again
visited my family and was astOnished to
find him well and hearty. He once more
has fresh color in his face and can go to
school again. Whenever the old trouble
threatens to return, relief is Immediately
secured by the use of the celebrated st.
Jacobs Oil. From sheer joy over this re-
suit I cannot withhold recommending st.
Jacobs Oil to suffering humanity as a true
benefactor. CHARLES METzDORF,

State against those who violate such
laws by the sale of Intoxicating

CoNsTITUTIoNALITY OF Wo1IAN's VOICE,
BY BALLOT OR PETITION
Here Judge Thompson submitted
extracts from his argument on this
point, embodied in his letter to the
Cincinnati Gazette of Dec. 4, 1879,
and in his address before the State
Temperance Convention of Jan. Isl,
1880, which have heretofore been
published.
In conclusion, I will add that the
sequence to my foregoing argument
is,
1. That the General Assembly has
no power, under the Constitution,
to confer on an elector the new priv
ilege Of voting for or against the en-
forcement of a Local Option Anti
Liquor law, in preference to other
citizens of like age and qualifications
with such elector, and that his vote
as an elector, for or against such
measure, at an election, is void, and
the exclusion of adult females, of
like age and qualifications with an
elector, from participating, by ballot
or petition, in the determination of
the question of the enforcement of
such law, is in violation and restraint
of her privileges, as a citizen, and is
oppressively wrong, and manifestly
in violation of the wishes of the large
majority ofthe intelligent petitioners.
who have prayed this General Assem-
bly, to make her voice by petition or
ballot, to be equal to that of man in
the enforcement of such law.
2. That any claim for woman's
is expressly excluded from
or implied advocacy
by the terms and the whole scope of
the argument, and, on the contrary,
the manifest result of granting the
claim of woman, that her voice by
petition or ballot should be equal to
that of man on the enforcement of
any Anti-Liquor law, would be to
retard, ifnot to smother, the doubtful
prerogative of equal suffrage with
man.
Wherefore, in vindication of the
rights of woman, and the best inter
ests and peace of man, I importune,
not with the voice of a martyr to the
cause of temperance, but with manly
convictions, that this General Assem-
bly, shall immortalize itself by the first
bold advance in promotion of the
great cause of Temperance Reform
rom alcoholic drunkenness, by the
Of a Local Option Anti Liquor
aw, in one or the other forms of Bill,
Is prayed for by the Temperance
Convention of January 1st, 1880.
