The bouncing West is commonly supposed
to be the bright particular hotbed Of fabulous
tales, but the most apocryphal cold weather
story this year comes from Litchfeld, Conn.
A man by the name of Bright went out in the
morning to pump water for his stock. As he
had not returned at noon, his wife started out
to seek him. There he stood at the well
pumping, literally for his life for. through q
hole in the trough the water had flowed around
his boots, and, freezing solid, fastened him
securely in his tracks. To keep from freez-
ing TO death the farmer had continued to
pump violently all the morning. although
the well was soon exhausted. His wife set
him free by heaping salt around his boots.
That story has the same defect as the trough
it won't hold water.

the land to innocent persons, who have set

TEMPERANCE DEPARTMENT.
EDITED BY PERRYsBURG W. c. 7. U
TEmpERANCE INpoLITIcs.


We are dealing with human crime, and
God works against il by human means. AS
a crime it must be suppressed by the same
means as all other crimes, and that by hu-
man laws. The ballot made the law, and
the law now protects the monster crime
which it ought to prohibit. We hold the
ba Hot, and with the means in our hands ii
we refuse TO do our duty, and invoke God
to do it by miracles against our ballots, we
mock him with our prayers. God does not
now, as he once did, abolish crime by mir
acle. If this temperance reform was all
devine and not human instrumentality,
it would be quickly accomplished. There
would come down Maine law out OF heav-
en- Il rain OF fire on all distilleries, brew
cries and dramshops, and on all the dram
shop parties and politicians i'll the nation
or there would be water miracle such as
swept away the intemperance of the old
world. But God has put the means in the
hands of the Christian voters Of the nation,
and he requires them to do their duty, first
at the ballot. box in compelling the enact
ment Of laws to suppress the crime and
then in the election of officers who will en-.
iorce the laws then made.-G. 7. Stewart.

That Internal MachIne.-The readers


Of the JOURNAL will remember descrp-
tion given by our Webster township cor
respondent a year ago last April, OF a sus-
picious looking box which had been placed
in the Office OF DIR. L. L. Loomis, at Scotch
Ridge ON the night of the 10Th OF that
month. The box was opened some days
after and found to contain about ten pounds
of blasting powder, with half burned
fuse attached. 1t was quite evident that it
was placed there for the destruction of the
building, and only failed throug., an i'm
perfect fuse. There WAS no clue to the
perpetrators until the 18th inst, when the
matter was revived The Sentinel contains
the following with reference to 1t:
Nothing more WAS heard publicly until
last Friday when on affidavit Of DR.. Loomis,
Mr.. A. Bushnell and his son Truman as ac-
cessories, and young man named Ernest
Pember as principal, were arrested, charged
with the crime, on warrant of Squire Mentor,
of Pemberville. The two Bushnels iur
nished bal in the sum Of 81 900, and Penn
ber, failing to get bail, was committed TO
iall, pending trial, set down for last Mon
day the 18th, at which time on motion of
the defendants the trial was continued until
Tuesday, the Esd, before Justice Mentor.
Penn ber has "squealed " and tells that
he was in Bushnels employ at the time
and placed the box in the office and that
Bushnell senior furnished the material To
make it, the powder, fuse, &c., and that
yonng bushnell lent helping hand and
that the old man was to pay him (Pember)

VOLUNTARY SLAVES.
BY CLINTON D. WILSON.

BY CLINTON d. WILSON.
The great national cure, slavery, is gone.
but drunkenness stays. There are one mil
lion drunkurds in our land. Counting
their wives, children. parents, brothers.
and sisters, there are at least five millions
of our people involved in the miseries Of
drunkenness. One lrunkard in the family
is enough to make the whole family miser-
able. Our involuntary slaves are set free,
but our million OF voluntary slaves still
hug their chains. The lot of the literal
slave-of him whom others have enslaved
lis indeed n hard one; nevertheless, it is
a paradise, compared with the lot of him
who has enslaved himself, especially of him
who has enslaved himself to alcohol. The
noblest of souls may dwell beneath chains
which others have imposed, but self-im-
posed chains strike debasement through
and through the soul. Happy, too, may
the literal slave be, if only he has kept his
inner.man-his essential self-unconqner-
ed, but no outward advantage can bring
happiness to the victim of alcoholic bim
who has killed his own soul. Then, too,
the literal slave does harm to no one, whilst
the self.made slave of whom we speak is a
curse to his kindred, burden upon all
and, in no small share of cases, n terror TO
all. Fast and furious is the conflict, and
victims are falling on every side. The min
ions of King Alcohol are se king to over
throw the pence and prosperity OF the ma
tion, and the grand army OF temperance re-
form cannot sing the song OF peace till they
A., Il A. al, n All
over the land are sufierers from this terri
BILE oppressor, strong drink. Thousa nds
are lying from delirium tremens; thons-
ands more are experiencing living death
The strife is a tremendous one; the people
of the United States of America are in
greater slavery now than were the negroes
a few years ago. A few years OF war wiped
their slavery from the face OF the earth,
This slavery cannot lie gotten rid OF in such
| a manner. There is but one way to liberty
and the reason there are 80 few TO fight iis
battles Is because 80 many are more or less
entangle led in the bondage. 1t is n strange
but true fact that when person begins IA
drink he seldom cares 10 stop. Therefore
the work which lies before us is doubly
hard, but we will never give over this work
of reformati so long as there is any need
of reform. The foes OF temperance and
consequent morality and good order are
many and fercely in earnest. 1t Is right
that the lovers OF righteousness should be
arrayed against them. armed and equipped
