TEMPERANCE.

The experiment of prohibitory liquor laws
has been tried for the past twenty nine years
in the State of Maine, and is now declared to
have proved great success in the suppression
of drunkenness. The benefits of the stringent
laws On the subject of the liquor traffic have so
moulded public opinion that no political party
dare advocate the repeal. The manufacture
Of liquor in the State has been entirely sus
pended, and except in few of the larger
cities, its sale, even in the most secret way, Is
unknown. Fifty years ago, it is asserted, ev-
cry male drank, while at the present time
three fourths of the population are total alb
stinenoe people. These are exceeding ~ salts
factory results, and if the figures upon which
they are based are correct, it is not surprising
that prohibition has so strong hold upon the
majority of the people of Maine. In regard
to the surreptitious sale of liquor in the State.
the opponents of prohibition, who would nat
urally be inclined to exaggeration in the mat
ter, do not place the quantity disposed of in
this way at more than a million and quarter
dollars worth. 1t is difficult to obtain relia
blestatstcs on the subject, but supposng that
these figures are correct, the showing in favor
of prohibition is very satisfactory. They give
two dollars as the average expenditure in this
direction for each citizen, whereas the average
throughout the ether States is eight times
that sum.
1t has been claimed by the opponents of
these laws, that in forcing temperance upon
man, human nature will revolt and the other
extreme will be reached Public opinion steps
in and prevents that result. The law abiding
will not trespass; the class who desire to be
held as respectable are restrained by fear of
the opinion of those who hold high social rank;
the timid dare not overstep the prescribed
ground, and the reckless naturally seek their
level. Thus the law inevitably has it's effect,
and one of the greatest curses of humanity is
checked. A community must witness GER
tain amount of suffering, crime and ruin, be-
fsre it awakens to the fact that there is a cause
and an effect. The sooner that truth is
brought home to a people, the more young
lives will be saved from mental and physical
destruction. The current of public thought is
gradually working toward the solu ton of the
question of the good effect Of temperance, and
time will eventually right the wrongs which
have prejadced many against this righteous
cause.

Pierre Valcour, Frenchman of Lockport,
N. Y, claims to have invented deep sea tel
ephone by which vessels can be kept in con-
slant communication with the shore while
crossing the ocean. He has discovered how
to insulate single wire so that immersion in
water does not impair its transmission of cleo
cigar shaped metallic float, thirty feet long,
in tow of the vessel Leaden sinkers are to
be detached every 200 miles to keep the wire
on the oceans bed, and if the inventor
hopes are realized, an ocean trip will lose its
present isolation.

SERMON EXTRAORDINARY.
FROM THE SPANISH.

FROM THE SPANISH.
An ecclesiastic going on mission to GER
tain city encountered on his way some robbers;
but as he was possessed of nothing likely to
excite their cupidity, the circumstance gave
him no particular uneasihess. The thieves. on
approaching the priest, well knowing the I'M
profitable character of their victim, said to
him in tones Of compromise:
ALLOWING that you have no purse, at least,
Father, you will give US a dish from your
kitchen, that is, preach us a sermon in our
praise
The friar, seeing he had no other recourse,
accepted the proposition and addressed his
complacent audience as follows:
"Gen:lemen, Il cannot give you greater hone r
than to compare your life with that of our
Saviour Jesus Christ whilst he was on earth.
"He suffered much-you also suffer, wan-
dering always as fugitives.
"The Lord went accompanied by his disci
ples-ysu are accustomed to go in numbers
"He frequented with Scribes and Pharisees
yen have your associates who are no better
than they were.
Gle repeatedly endured rain, wind, cold
heat and all manner of dlstress-you live ex-
pecting the same misfortunes, and experience
a Thousand inconvenience.
"Jesus Christ walked barefeoted-to GO un-
shod is one of your peculiarites.
He was content with one tunic-I believe
that You have not more than one coat to wear.
"He carried neither gold nor silver-it APP
pears to me that you do not 60 heavily laden
with these metals
HE tasted forty nights in the wilderness
YOU frequently do the same.
He was tempted by the devil-you con-
tinue so to be-
"He was transported to the pinnacle of the
temple, and to the top of high mountain
the devil takes you to the handiest hills for
espying passing travellers.
'He was hungered and athirst-you often
are constrained to bear the same deprivation.
'He was despised by all-so also are you.
"Judges eagerly sought an occasion to ar
raign Him-equally eager are judges in your
case.
'He was sold by Judas-there will be one
among you who will sell the others.
s'He was seized and bound-some day you
will be also.
He answered before Herod, Anaaias
Caiaphas-you will dc the same before your
judge.
"He was scourged with rods-so also will
you be if you have not been already.
Gle was cruci6ed between two thieves
it will not be long before you also shall so
hang.
"He descended into Hell-so also will you
'He arose to Heaven-but you will not
arise because you will live eternally with all
the devils, to whose company you are sent
by the Father, Son and Holy Spirit
"Amen"

ENTERING IN.
BY JULIA c. r. DOOR.

pl SNLih y. -. bNOh.
The church was dim and silent
With the hush before the prayer,
Only the solemn trembling
OF the organ filled the air;
Without, the sweet, still sunshine,
Within, the holy calm,
Where priest and people waited
For the swelling Of the psalm.
Slowly the door swung open
And ''ttle baby girl
Brown,eyed, with brown hair failing
In many AWAY curl;
With soft cheeks flushing hotly,
Shy glances downward thrown,
And small hands chsped before her,
Stood in the aisle alone.
Stood. half abashed, half frightened,
Unk,lowing where to go,
While, like a wind-rocked flower,
The form swayed to and fro;
And the changing color fiuttersd
In the little troubled face,
As from side to side she wavered
With mute. imploring grace.
1t was but for moment;
What wonder that we smiled.
By such strange, sweet picture
From holy thoughts beguiiedf
When up rose some one softly,
And many an eye grew dim,
As through the tenjer silence,
He bore the child with him.
And II wondered closing
The sermon and che prayer)
Ii. when some time enter
The "many mansions fair,
And stand aba, he'd and dropping
In the portals golden glow,
Our god will send an engel
To show me where to go.

The large house of G. Conrad Il CO., 4O7
TO All North Sixth street. presented beauti-
ful appearance Yesterday. In front OF the
establishment thirty evergreens were placed,
which attracted great deal Of attention.
This unusual display signiIied, in addition to
the electric light, that there was something
behind it all, and a call within justified the
conclusion. The firm prdes itself on being
the original manufacturers and propretors
of the famous lager of the Budweiser brand.
Every season it becomes necessary for the
firm to make additional Improvements in
their spacious building in order to maintain
the lead in the sale OF Budweiser and accom-
modate with characteristic promptness their
increasing patronage. The entire establish
ment has been overhaued, additions made,
ard the latest practical appliances introduced
for the sole purpose of facilitating the hand
ling of the popular drink in any quantity to
suit the purchaser. Although Budweiser is
one of the most desirable drinks os the sea-
son, and the depot of o. Conrad IL Co. is the
place to get II without adulteration, yet other
LIQUIDS extracted from material equally as
pure may be found there also. The firm is
the sole representative of Kelly's Island
wine, whichit WHOLESALERS and retails, together
with full list of other liquors an wines to
be found in the catalogue of the largest deal

the tempting refreshments yesterday, and

tinue undated until another enterprising
