Immense Damage by Frost to the
the Coffee aneSugar Plantations.

Immense Damage by Frost to the
the Coffee aneSugar Plantations.
PANAMA, Feb. 24.-The 10th OF
February will be remembered in
Antigua as the occasion of frost.
After the frost came, the fields and
coffee plantations appeared as tho
fire had passed through them. The
leaves of the coffee trees, the most
vigorous trees as well as the tender
est shoots, were discolored and
shriveled and broke to pieces at the
slightest touch, while even tender
twigs were injured. Several years
must necessarily elapse before the
plantations can be restored to their
usual healthy condition. The sugar
cane was killed as 1t stood, SO that
the loss in this respect is confined to
the amount actually uncut, although
all of this wilt scarcely be a total
loss. The amount of damage is cal
culated at between one and two mil
lion dollars.

A MAN named Klien, living in
Geneva, Switzerland, recently had
a strange experience. He was found
apparently frozen to death, and
there being nothing about him to
give a clue to his identity he was
handed over to the CantOnal hOspi-
tai for dissection. When the sup
posed corpse had been laid on the
dissecting table the mistake was
discovered, and means were taken
to revive him, which succeeded so
well that he is nov in his usual
health.

to retail liquor, and that this oath
is required to be endorsed upon such

that this oath is constantly violated

DE TENNESSEE,

I,-,dos OIt-mnly swear thatI will
not mix or adulterate, contrary to
the provisions of the act referred to
in the above bond, the liquors offer
ed for sale by me in this state, and
that / will not permit any gaming
or betting in my house, or any 9TH
er place under my control, to my
knowledge (and / will use due dill
gence to know, and should such be
done, / will report the same to the

So help me God.
Sworn to and subscribed, this

Now when it is a fact commonly
know and reported that gambling is
carried on in almost all the saloons
in the land, either in the same
building, or in some place connect
with these saloons, what a shock
should it be to the moral sense of
the public! Look at the oath taken
and subscribed to most solemnly,
and then look at the fragrant viola
ton, my countrymen.
1t is in these places that boys are
converted into brutes and demons,
not only by drink, but by another
evil as great, if not greater. 1t is
barely possible that a mar may be-
come Incorporate and yet retain
some little of the instincts of a man;
but when a man abandons himself
to the passion OF gambling, every
vestige of his better nature will be
dried up, and he will become ready
tor any crime. Young men gamble
upon money of their own, at first,
and then upon that which belongs
to other people. Married men will
gamble upon the very bread of their
children, and upon the last cent be-
longing to their wives. Gamblers
will take by trick and fraud, the
bread that they know will bring
innocent women and children, not
only to want, but to extreme suf-
ering and poverty.
The drunken debauche, in his mo-
ments of calm reflection, may still
retain some faint glimmerings of
his manhood, now wrecked, but the
insatiate gambler can pocket the
ill-gotten means of life belonging to
helpless childhood, and hard earn
ing of careWOrn motherhood, and
strut the streets in utter mockery of
all that is good and noble in mar
hood.
Let parents, businessmen and
everybody interested in the good of
society, open their eyes on these
things, right here in Paris.

LAND LEAGUE MATTERS. There
was an unusually large attendance at
the Land League rooms on Sunday
evening, no doubt to the stirring
events going on at present in Ireland.
The usual routine business was trans
acted. The Treasurer reported bal
ance Of over 500 in bis hands. Ac-
cording to notice given a week ago,
the question Of moral suasion versus
physical force as an agent for redress
wa discussed under the head of edu-
cational. Messrs. Stapleton and Smyth
addressed the meeting on the moral
suasion side, whilst Messrs. Donovan,
M. J Solan and Donnelly argued not
without effect the opposite. The
length of the addresses precludes the
possibility of a full report So far
the moral suasion men appear to have
had the best of the argument, but the
subject remains open for discussion
next Sunday, to which time the meet
ing adjourned
Mr.. A. ] Smiths sketch Of The life
of O'Ccnnell was frequently applau-
ded.
Mr.. Stapleton failed to elicit much
enthusiasm, probably not being in
sympathy with his audience.
We opine if vote were taken after
hearing Mr.. Donovan's address, it
would be all up with Irish landIordism
and English tyranny.
The educational features of the
league afford good opportunity for
the development Of debating talent.
