Beer PrOpagandism.

The brewers, at their late Chicago con
gress, resolved in favor of brewers acad
envy, to be founded at a cost of 100000
They also appropriated $1,000 to be used as
a publishing fund with which to combat
the " temperance fanatics" We venture
to predict that there will not be time for
the first class to be graduated from the pro
posed Brewers Academy" before brewing
for beverage use will be made an unlawful
business in many other states, as it already
has been in Maine and Kansas, nor will the
$4,000 expended in publications in defence
of beer suffice to check or turn the tide
which has set in against it. Brewing is a
business which cannot be honestly and sue
cessfully defended, and the brewers them
selves know and confess it by their persist
ent opposition to the proposed national com
mission of inquiry. The more they try to
justify and excuse it the more odious will II
become in the sight of conscientious, Chris
tian men and women everywhere.

The Drunkard and his Dog.

A crowd was collected one day near pile
of stones in Central Park, New York, evil
IDENTIFY very intent upon some object that
had brought together quite collection of
policemen. On drawing near, you would
have seen nothing so remarkable; only a
drunken man, utterly insensible, lying on a
pallet of blasted rocks and stones. But for
all there were so many officers on hand, they
could not take the man away. There he
must stay, to all appearances, and disfgure
the ground, until he came TO himself sufli-
GENTLY to move off on his own hook. He
had FRIEND of whom he was wholly I'M
worthy,-a friend who stood by him like a
brother, notwithstanding his degradation.
A noble Newfoundland dog stood over him,
looking down into his face, aud would suf-
fer no one to approach. lie did not like
the looks of the policemen, and they did not
like his looks. Twenty feet was the regu-
lar distance he had settled upon, and it was
at his risk that any one came nearer. They
brought several pals of cold water and
threw over the dog, hoping to drive him
away, but he only drew closer to his UNI
unworthy companion. ave can't take the
man unless we shoot the dog" said one,
"and he's too noble an animal to kill"

The Grog.S Shops Must be sbut.

Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, in the New York
Independent, in an able article, entitled The
Argument from Experience" says One
thing, however, would seem to be past dis
pute. Somehow the sale Of liquors must be
checked. Something must be done to close
the grog-shops. A power bold enough TO be
strong, and strong enough to be bold, must
shut the door, as God shut the door for Noah

Clubs, and the prayer-meeting, puff about
these gaping gates like the breath of babies,
the tornado that shall beat them back must
come and whether it come by the law or
the gospel, who shall be offended The
power that will do the thing, whatever il be,
is the power that must do it. As long as
eighty-fve per cent of our prisoners owe
their incarceration to drunkenness as long
as there is in our cities one licensed place
for the sale of liquor to every one hundred
seventy inhabitants as long as sixty thou
sand persons year in this country die
drunk, or from the effects of drink there is
no other side to the matter. The grog-shops
must be shut. At any cost-whether of
public interference or private self-denial,
whether the law goes on the statute-book or
the wine comes off the dinner-table-by
some means the grogsbops must be shut.

Alcoholism Increasing.

This is the significant heading of recent
article in one of our daily journals recount
ing series of painful facts CLEANED by a
reporter at Bellevue hospital. One patient,
described as under treatment at the hospital
for alcoholism was "a well-known stock
Spectator, living on Fifth avenue" A
Handsomely dressed lady with blonde hair
and pale, sad face" the wife of the I'M
happy victim of the wine-cup, had followed
him to the hospital, and was watching with
him. This painful experience would prob
ably be repeated dozen times in the year
as the drinking sprees recur. OF dozen or
more late hospital cases some were mechan-
les, others were business men, like the
broker, "with plenty of money" one po-
iceman, given "to frequent tipping at
home, and then to continued draughts at bar
rooms on his rounds" and others were wo-
men. But with ten thousand grog-shops in
full blast, why should not this dreadful" al
coholism" be increasing? The only way to
prevent it is to stop the initial drinking
which leads to it. For such people as these
Bellevue patients, and many Others like them,
to drink moderately, is as impossible as to
fire off pistol gradually. "-National Tenn.

Resisted.

Four young men, clerks and students,
while on a summer vacation tramp through
northern New England. engaged for guide
to a certain romantic forest waterfall a boy
named Forrest Graves. Forrest was a fiue,
athletic fellow, who could outwalk and out
climb any amateur in the mountains, and
his moral courage was quite equal to his
physical strength.
After he had guided the young men to the
waterfall, and they had satisfied themselves
with sightseeing, they invited him TO lunch
with them.
THANK you, have my own lunch :" and
the boy went away by himself. Later, when
full jusic had been done TO their repast
and flask of brandy had furnished each of
the young men with stimulating draught,
Graves was called.
"You must drink with us, if you will not
eat with U.S." now said the owner of the
flask, and the most reckless of the party.
"No, sir, thank YOU" was the boys cour.
teous response.
:" But shall insist upon it,"
"You can do as you please, and shall do

with bound stood beside the boy, too much
absorbed in his own purpose to heed the
quivering lips and flashing eyes of another.

In process of time, Mr.. Fisher, regardless
of the opposition of his wife, carried his
scheme into execution, thing not uncom-
mon eighty years ago, parents being dis
posed TO settle their estates by giving them
up to their children, conditionally, upon a
support being guaranteed. This measure
was more repugnant to the mother than TO
the father, as thereby she lost control of
what had been her own, and found herself
too often neglected, or, it may be, abused.

An Adventure with q Burglar.

Last week Mr. Robert Sweat, Of Warren,
on his way home from Bowling Green,
stopped at the house of his brother-in-law,
Mr.. Robert Holland, in the neighborhood
of Hadley, to stay all night. About the
usual time the household retired, and Mr..
Sweat was put in bedroom adjoining and
opening into the one occupied by Mr.. Hol-
land and his wife.
Sometime in the night Mrs. Holland
heard a noise in the room in which she and
her husband were sleeping, and, on awaken
ing, saw man standing near the foot Of
their bed. She quietly aroused her hus-
band, and he, jumping out Of bed, literally
alighted upon the back of the intruder and
rode him out of the room. The burglar
opened the wrong door, and, instead Of
getting out of the house, got into Mr..
Sweatt's room. That gentleman, in the
meantime, was sleeping soundly, and duti-
fully dreaming Of home and his mother.
Starting up about half awake, and seeing
the two figures enter his room, he imagined
that the burglar was his mother and that
Holland was somebody trying to kill her.
Quick as thought, and without q word, he
went for the supposed assassin and planted
q blow on the side of his head that
Drought ulu W the HOOT HILL stuuueu,
and before he was able to get up,
Sweat was onto him like q thousand
of brick" and using him up at q fearful
rate. The astonished burglar took advant-
age of the situation and escaped through the
window. After flooring Holland, Sweat
thought his assassin was safe, and turned
his attention to his mother, Just in time to
see her jump out of the window. He ran to
the window and was just getting out him
self, when Holland, recovering, saw his
burglar, as he thought, about to get away.
and, rushing to the window, he seized him
by the back of the neck and pulled him back
into the room. Then the two men began
again life and death struggle. This time
Holland got the best of it, and had just
about closed the jugular vein Of his brother
in-law, when a third person appeared on
the scene. This was young man who lived
with Holland, and as he entered and spoke,
Holland said to MIN: swell, I've saved one
of them.' Hearing Hollands voice, Sweatr
feebly gasped: ais that you, Bob? Hol-
land, in amazement, released his hold on
Sweatt's neck, and exclaimed, in dismay:
"Is that you, Bob? They both answered
EYES," and the fight ended. BY this time
the whole house was aroused, and lights
being brought the brothers-in-law were
found in an exhausted condition and badly
used up. Looking at the matter after II Is
all over, it is rather amusing, but the actual
experience was anything else.-RusseliviHe

Carries His Own Well with Him.

At meeting of the California Acade-
my of Sciences the other evening q very
fine specimen of the desert land tortoise,
from Cajon Pass, San Bernardino Coun-
ty, in that State, was received. The
specimen had been carefully prepared,
and was as large as an ordinary bucket.
The tortoise is a native of the arid re-
gions of California and Arizona, and
Prof. E. 7. Cox, who was present, re-
lated curious circumstance connected
with it. He found on dissecting one of
them that it carried on each side a
membrane, attached to the inner portion
of the shell, in which was about a pint of
clear water, the whole amount being
about quart. He was Of the opinion
that this water was derived from the
secretions Of the giant barrel cactus, on
which the tortoise feeds. This cactus
contains a great deal of water. The
tortoise is found in sections of country
where there is no water, and where there
is no vegetation but the cactus. A trav-
eler suffering from thirst could, in an
emergency, supply himself with water
by killing tortoise. They are highly
priced by Mexicans, who make from
them delicious soup. The foycsof the
desert attack the tortoise, and finally
overcome them by dragging them a.
times for miles.

The Bullet DetectOr.

recent Washington dispatch gives the
following description Of the new invention
used to determine the locality Of the bullet
i'm the Presidents body:
Prof. Belps new induction balance con-
sists of two fiat coils about four inches in
diameter and one-half inch in thickness Of
insulated copper wire, battery, a con-
denser, an interrupter or circuit breaker,
and telephone. The ends of the primary
or inducing coil are connected with the poles
Of the battery, and in the same circuit are the
condenser and q small interrupter, whose
vibrating tongue opens and closes the cir
cult with great rapidity. The ends of the
secondary coil in which the current is to be
induced are carried to the binding posts of
the Bell Telephone. When the connecti ons
have all thus been made, a secondary coil
is laid on the primary or secondary coil, and
their respective circumference exactly CO.
incide. The circuit breaker is then set IN
motion and rapidly interrupted. The cir
cult through the primary coil induces
another current of higher intensity in
the secondary coil, and as it does
SO loud musical tone is heard in
the telephone with which the secondary coil
is connected. AS long as the current is
two coils is kept in exact coincidence the
musical note in the telephone does not
change its pitch or intensity. II, however,
the experimenter slides the upper coil along
an inch or so upon the lower, so that their
circumference no longer correspond, the
intensity of the musical tone Is diminished,
and just in proportion as the centers Of the
dat coils are separated by the greater or less
distance the intensity Of the musical tone Is
lessened or increased. By delicate manipu-
lation it is possible to adjust the centers of
the overlapping coils at such a distance one
from the other that perfect balance is
brought about, and when this is the case
the telephone makes no sound whatever. As
soon rs the balanced coils begin to feel the
disturbance caused by their approach to the
imbedded bullet the telephone announces
the fact by faint, continuous, musical note,
and this note grows louder and louder, until
the overlapping parts OF the coils are direct
ly above the disturbing metal.

fish of the season.-Ib.
