o. S. History.

Answer to second half of first ques-
ton in United States History:
Among those who had watched the
progress of the Portuguese, as detailed
in the early Maritime Awakening,
Christopher Columbus, native of
Geno, and who was born A. D. 144..
The causes which led him to believe
that there was land to the west of the
Old World, are given by his son, the
writer of his life, as these three:
~ Natural reason; ~ The authority
of writers; (3) The testimony of sailors.
By the heap of reason he argued in
this way: (a) The earth and sea COM
pose one globe Oh sphere, (b) This is
known by observing the shadow of the
earth in lunar eclipses, (cJ Hence it
may be travelled over from west to
east, / from east to west.
Sore European travellers had eX-
plored to the east as far as Japan,
while others h;.d been as tar west as
the Azores; the remaing space he
thought could be easily passed over by
ship.
The second source from which he
drew his conclusion was, 'the author
ity of learned men, who has declared
the possibility of sailing from the
western coast Of Spain TO India. Pliny
had affirmed that forty days were suf-
ficient for this navigation,
The third ground was ''the testi-
mony of mariners" In the sea, be.
tween Madeira and the Western Is
lands, pieces of carved wood and large
joints of cane had been discovered,
which were supposed to have been
brought by the westerly winds.
Branches of pine trees, covered Ca
noe, and two human bodies of a com
plection different from the Europeans
and Africans had been found on the
shores of these Islands. All these
things led Columbus to believe that he
could reach India by going west

"WHo hath woe! who hath sorrow {!
who hath contention who hath bah
bling! who hath wounds without
causel who hath redness Of eyes
They that tarry long at the wine; they
that go to seek mixed wine. Look not
thou upon the wine when it is red,
when it giveth its color in the cup,
when it moveth itself Alright. At the
last it biteth like serpent and stingeth
like an adder"
THE Rev. DR.. Laurie, formerly Il
missionary in Turkey, read recently
before the ministers of Boston, in
which he maintained that ''unfermen-
ted wine" has never been known in
Syria. He claimed that the mission
aries in eastern lands are best able to
testify as to the present usages and to
judge concerning the past. They are
unanimous in denying that never was
such thing as Misunderstanding wine in
Palestine. Tie people sometimes SO
boil the juice " grapes as to reduce its
volume about one twentieth, and then
allow it to ferment. They also boil
the grape juice down to a thick syrup.
reducing its volume thIee-fourths, and
the product does not ferment, but it
is never called ''wine. Mr.. Tiayer
took the opposite ground, and said it
was impossible to believe that Jesus
made Oh used that which God had pro-
nounced q mocker and forbidden us to
look on.
THE inherent wrong of using intoxi-
eating drinks is two-fold. First, it
exposes to danger the man who tam
pers with it, for no man was ever pos
itively assured by his creator that he
could play with the adder that lies in
the wine-cup without being stung by
it. Second, it puts stumbling block
in the way of him whom we are COM
manded to love as ourselves. Now,
on the same principle, not of self
preservation merely, but of avoiding
what is dangerous to others, what
right have | to sustain those fountain
heads of death from which the drink
poison is sold? What right have | to
advocate their license, to patroniZe
the traffic, or even in any way to abet
the whole system of drinking alcohol
ic stimulents at home, or abroad! II
a glass of wine on my table will en-
trap some young man, or some one
who is inclined to stimulants, into dis
sipation, then am l thoughtlessly set
ting a trap for his life--I am his
tempter. l gave the usage my sane
ton, and TO him the direct induce
ment to partake of the bottled demon
that sparkles so seductively before
him. If he goes away from my table
and commits some outrage under the
effect OF that stimulent, | am, to a
certain degree, guilty of that outrage.
I gave him the incentive to do what
otherwise he might have left undone.
The man who puts the bottle to his
neighbour lips is accountable for what
comes from those lips under the infu-
ence of the dram, and is accountable
too, for every outrage that the mad
dened victim of the cup may perpe-
trate during his temporary insanity.
1t is an old-fashioned abstinence that
we are pleading for. We ask it, as
Paul did, for the sake of those who
stumble. Oh. those stumblers! those
stumblers! We dare not speak of
them. It would open tombs whose
charitable green turf hides out of
sight what many survivor would
love to have forgotten

The DEVILS Five Degrees.
BY REV. D. TALMAGE.

One of the most numerous of the
great classes of civilized society is the
ID. 0. O. D., which may be otherwise
expressed as the Dependent Order of
Drunkards. 1t comprehends persons
of all grades and classes of society. 1t
draws its membership from bar and
pulpit, from forum and senate; but,
differ as they may in position, in edu-
cation, in social surroundings, ability
or culture. they are brought into one
fellowship and reduced to one common
level. We lay before the reader the
five principal degrees of the ID. 90. D.
First, we see the young man, intel
ligent, courteous and polite, accepting
the cup at the hand of some young
lady. and drinking her health in liquor
that ruiz S his own. Well dressed, re-
spectacle, with fair promise and bright
prospects before him, we see nothing
that could hinder him from rising to
the highest stations and occupying
the most influential positions, were it
not for that cup which contains
within itself the promise and power
of all sorrow, degradation, shame and
death.
The scene shifts, and another degree
is taken; ana he who learned his first
lesson in the parlOr of the gay and re-
fined has taken another in the gilded
saloon, where jovial visitors acc0mpa-
ny, aud vulgar jokes and nameless
vices wait to drag the uwary victim
of Intemperance down to the tomb.
A little later we see him again;
| third degree is taken; he drinks deeply,
and his tattered hat. buttonless vest,
| patched garments and look of general
seediness tell to us the effect of the
maddening poison upon him.
A short journey brings him to anoth-
er degree. The relics of his old gem
tility are gone: coatless and ragged,
his shaking hand and gross and REDEEM
ed countenance show that he has drunk
mp everything which made life joyous,
or this world "A place of peace and
blessing.
One more degree shows us what
strong drink will do for the strongest
man. No man was ever mighty enough
to wrestle with the bottle. He Is
always thrown at last. His body a
mass of bloated disease, his heart
den of foul and beastly passion. his
counteuance married and sensHaliZed
beyond all power of description; in
rags and tatters. homeless and friend
less. he travels his short journey %
the darkness of the tomb. Some day
the tidings come that he is found dead
dead by the wayside, with the bottle
in his pocket; dead in the snoWdrift,
coming home from drunken debaueh;
dead in his wretched hovel, with no
one to smooth his dying pillow or min
lister to him in his closing hours. The
end has come; the warnings Of God
and man have been in vain; he has
passed through the varying degrees
of evil habit; he has been initiated
into the mysteries of Satan's lodge;
and at last his exIs sence is wrecked.
his life is lost, and he awaits the SEN
tence of that mighty judge vino las
taught us that no drunkard shall in
herit the kingdom OF heaven.

The legislature has enacted q law
making the offices of Railroad Com
missioner and Insurance Commission
er, elective as other State offices.
This Will give each Congressional Dis
trict representative upon all of the

less the real object of the law. If
this State should happen to gain a
Congressman, the Warden of the State

them susceptible to a proper distribu-

THE report agreed upon by the legis-
lative Joint committee on apportion
ment gives the counties of Pierce and
st. Croix each an Assemblyman, and
constitutes the 2fth Senate District of
tile counties named. It is probable
that no changes affecting the Senate
District as thus constituted will be
made by the legislature when the re-
port comes up for action. The fail
ure of Congress to pass an apportion-
ment bill postpones the apportionment
of the State into Congressional Dis
tricts until 1882.
