The White House Teetotalism-Mr,
Hayes Explains.

With reference to the matter to which
you call my attention I have only this to
say. When I became President I was
fully convinced that whatever might be
the case in other countries and with
other people, in our climate and with the
excita5le, nervous temperament of our
people, the habitual use of intoxicating
drinks was not safe. regarded the dan
ger of the habit as especially great in
political and official life. 1t seemed to
me that to exclude liquors from the
White House would be wise and useful
as an example, and would be approved
by good people generally. The sugges-
tion was practically agreeable to Mrs.
Hayes. She had been total abstinence
woman from childhood. We had never
used liquors in our own home, and it
was determined to continue our home
custom in this respect in our official resi-
dence in Washington as we had done at
Columbus. l was not a total abstainer
when I became President, but the dis.
cussion which arose over the change at
the executive mansion soon satisfied me
that there was no halfway house in the
matter. During the greater part Of my
term, at least during the last three years,
I have been in practice, as in theory, q
persistent total abstinence man and shall
continue to be so. All statements, in.
Guiding the one you sent me, inconsis-
tent with the foregoing are untrue and
without foundation.

How Officials were Once Paid.

1t is not general known historical fact
that from 1777 to 1884 the territory now
known as Tennessee formed part of
North Carolina, and that in 1885 the
Tennesseeans, becoming dissatisfied with
their government, organized State gov
ernment under the name of "Franklyn," 4"
which was maintained for some years.
The organization afterwards disbanded
and Territorial Tennessee was again ap-
ne1ed to North Carolina. The following
is among the laws passed by the legisla-
ture ofthe State ofFranklyn. We copy as
found in speech by Daniel Webster on
the currency in 1888:
'Be it enacted by the General Assem-
bly, of the State of Franklyn, and it is
hereby enacted by the authority of the
same: That from the first day of Janua.
ry, 1779, the salaries of the officers of this
Commonwealth be as follows, to- wit:
"His Excellsncy the Governor, per
annum, 1000 deer skins
ellis Honor the Chief Justice, 500
deer skins; or, 800 raccoon skins;
"The Treasurer Of the State, $50 rae
coon skins;
"Each County Clerk, 300 beaver skins; /;
"Clerk of the House of Commons, 200
raccoon skins;
Member of Assembly, per diem, three
raccoon skins;
Justices fee for signing warrant, ono
muskrat skin;
ITO the Constable for serving war
rant, one mink skin;
Entered into q law the 18th day of
October, 1779, under the great seal of the
State"

Effect Of q Bad Example,

"My early practice" said doctor "was
successful, and soon obtained an envi-
able position. I married lovely girl ;
two children were born to US, and my
domestic happiness was complete. But
I was invited often to social parties
where wine was freely circulated, and /
soon became slave to its power. Before
I MAS aware of it I was drunkard. My
noble wife never taunted mewith bitter
word, never ceased to pray for my refor-
nation. We were wretchedly poor, so
that my family became pinched for daily
bread. One beautiful Sabbath my wife
went to church and left me on the lounge
sleeping off my previous nights debauch.
I was aroused by hearing something
heavy fall on the floor. I opened my
eyes and saw my little boy six years old
tumbling on the carpet. His older
brother said to him, Now get up and
fall again. That's the way papa does.
Let's play we are drunk l watched the
child as be personated my beastly move
ments in way that would have done
credit to any actor. I arose and left the
house, grooming in agony and remorse. I
walked off miles in the country-thinking
over my abominable sin, and the exam
pie WAS setting before my children. l
solemuly resolved that with Gods help l
would quit the cup, and 1 did, No lee
ture ever heard from blr. Cough moy
ed my soul like the spectacle of my own
sweet boys playing drunk as papa does. :"

The SPIDERS Apparatus,

Few things are more wonderful than
the spinning apparatus of th spider. On
tho under side Of the creatures body are
placed four or six little knobs, each not
larger than the point Of pin. These
are outlets of certain receptacles within
the abdomen, where the silk is prepared.
When the spider wishes to spin thread,
it presses the knobs or spinerets, with
one its legs, and forthwith there issues
from each, not one, but thousand
fbers, of such exquisite fneness that it
is only when all the products of
all the spinerets are united that
they become visible to the naked
eye. The thread" of the spider is
thus tiny rope offour or six thousand
strands. The twisting of the fibers into
one cord is performed by the hindmost
pair of legs, which, like the rest, are fur.
nished with three claws apiece. Using
these claws as fingers, the little ropemaker
twists her groups of thread into one with
surprising rapidity.

A Soldiers Dream.

Just before the battle of Cedar Creek
camp sentinel who was off duty tempora.
rily and trying to put in little sleep,
dreamed that he was out on a scout.
A mile to the right of the camp he
came upon q log barn, and as it
began to rain just then, he sought
shelter, or was about to, when be
heard voices and discovered that the
place was already occupied. After lit
tie investigation he discovered scouts had
taken up their quarters for the night in
the place, and he therefore moved away.
The sentinel awoke with such vivid re.
membrance of the details that he asked
permission to 60 over and confer with one
of the scouts. When the log barn was
described to this man he located it at
once, having passed it dozen times.
The dreamer described the highway ex-
actly as it was, giving every hill and turn
and the scout put such faith in the re.
mainder of the dream that he took four
soldiers, one of whom was the dreamer,
and set out for the place. Three Con-
federate scouts were asleep in the straw
and were taken without a shot being
fred.
Three days before the affair at Reeley's
Ford corporal in the Sixth IMichi-.
gan Cavalry dreamed that brother of
his, who was sergeant in another COM
pany, would have his horse killed in
action, and wonld almost Immediately
mount dark bay horse with white
nose. Within five minutes both horse
and rider would be killed by she'll.
This dream was related to more than
score of comrades full two days
before the fight. Early in the fight
the sergeant's horse vas struck
square in the forehead by bullet and
dropped dead in his tracks. 1t was
scarcely three minutes before white
nosed horse, carrying blood-stained
saddle galloped up to the sergeant and
halted. He remembered the dream and
refused to mount the animal, and soon
after picked up a black horse. The
white nosed animal was mounted by a
second corporal in another regiment and
the horse and rider were torn to fragments
by q shell, in full sight of four companies
the Sixth.-Me,v York Commercial Ad-
vertiser.

HARD TO D1GEsT.-A most remarka.

HARD TO DIGEsT.-A most remarka-
blestory comes from lliddletown, Orange
county. A maiden lady of that place on
the 5th of January, 1869, swallowed
new set of false teeth, which became
separated from the rubber mould in which
they had been set while masticating her
food. Before she could eject the food
from her mouth the teeth had gone down
into her stomach. The family physician
was summoned, but all efforts were un-
availing. The teeth caused her no dis
comfort and in short time the matter
was entirely forgotten. A few days ago
Miss Cole felt sharp pain near her left
shoulder, and upon examining the spot
found what appeard like q wen under the
skin. With the aid of q pen knife she
extracted hard substance, which proved
to be O tooth. She was at a loss to
know how the tooth came to be in such
an unusual spot till she suddenly recol-
lected that she had, twelve years ago,
swallowed her set of teeth. During
the past four days the lady has
been cutting teeth all over he
body, and had, at last accounts, recover
ed twelve of the fourteen teeth that
had formerly constituted her full set.
She is anxiously awaiting the arrival
of the other two. She has placed the
teeth in a glass case and will keep them
as mementoes.

Whisky Drinking in a Dry Climate.

The effect of alcohol on t. Indians of
the high, dry plains, e, nen taken in
small quantities, is TO almost instantly
drive them crazy. The craze is evinced by
bloodthirsty savageness and utter reck-
lessness. The frequent assaults that
have been made by mounted Indians
armed with bows an arrows, on Western
trading posts defended by American
rihemen, sharply indicate the effect of
alcohol in men of highly nervous temper
ament, natives of dry country where
the light atmosphere is highly charged
with electricity.
So it is with white men. The murder.
Gus acts of the "cow boys" when under
the influence of liquor, are we'll known.
When sober, more hospitable and kind.
er-hearted class does not exist. When
drunk, they exhibit all the characteris-
tics Of the Indians. They are transform
ed into bowling, bloodthirsty fends.
They shoot and stab each other, as well
as unoffending strangers, with the saw
ageness of Cheyennes or Sioux. Most of
these men are residents of Western Tex
as.
Almost all of them have lived on the
plains for term of years. The country
they inhabit is arid and of an altitude of
from l 200 to 5000 feet above the sea.
Throughout the pastoral region the
atmosphere is surcharged with electrici-
ty that expends its force in terrific thun-
der storms, in tornadoes and in the
dreaded dry waterspouts. Throughout
the pastoral region the fact that man
who has become acclimated can not
safely stimulate himself with alcohol is
we'll known, and has long been admitted
by all thinking men.
In Kansas, above all other Western
States, has the attempt to settle the Arid
Belt with agriculturists been made. Liv-
ing in this belt are thousands of voters,
and it was the ballots of these men that
accomplished the adoption of the consti-
tutional amendment prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of Alcoholic liquors
in the State. Unconsciously they, by
their ballots, recognized the conditions
of the climate in which they live. The
adoption was q measure of self.defense.
Democrats and Republicans, irrespective
of party, voted for the measure.--New
York Sun.

CHARACTER1sTICs.-The

CHARACTER1sT1cs.-There is little
incident connected with Mahone's career
during the late war which is worth re-
lating. On one occasion Malone had a
fight with General Wilson's division near
Petersburg, and Wilson captured q
whole regiment of Mahone's men. Fits
Hugh Lee subsequently gave Wilson q
sound drubbing, and recaptured Ma
homes lost regiment and twelve or four.
teen of Wilson's cannon. Malone had
the pieces hauled to his quarters, and
sent dispatch to the Richmond papers
announcing that he had whipped Wilson
and captured his artillery. In the mean
time he had the guns placed in conspic-
uous positions around his headquarters
as trophies of war. Fitz Hugh Lee,
hearing of this scurvy trick, went to Ma
homes camp at 2 o'clock in the morning
and demanded the guns. Malone I'M
pudently refused to give them up. Fitz
Hugh Lee went back to his camp and or
dered his men to prepare to take the
guns. General r. e. Lee, hearing of the
difficulty, interfered, and Malone deliy.
cred the guns to him, refusing to hand
them over to Fitz Hugh Lee, who had
taken them from the enemy and saved
Mahone's captured regiment. In his
magnanimity Fitz Hugh Lee did not
report to General Lee that Malone had
lost his regiment, but the little brigadior
gave him no thanks, and meanly stuck to
it that he had gained a victory and cap
tured the guns. The incident is sug-
gestive of the character of the man.
