The Gender OF the Moon.

Prof. p. w. Hochkeppel, of this
city, submits the following as an ex-
PLANTATION of why it is wrong in
English to say that "moon" is of the
feminine gender:
Moon is very old word. 1t was
called mona i'll Anglo Saxon, and only
used as a masculine because it was
considered such in ali Teutonic Ian
guages, and only through classical
models moon was changed in English
into feminine and sun into masculine.
the assertions which Mr.. Harris made,
That all nations ascribs to the sun a
masculine and to the moon feminine
gender, is refuted by Max Muller, Of
Oxford University. For moon we
have in Gothic, mend, and for month
in Anglo Saxon, m0Hddh, in Gothic,
menoth, all of the masculine gender.
In Greek we have men, masculine for
mon h, and meme, feminine for moon.
In Latin we find menSis, month, and
in Sdnscrit, mas for moon and mdsd
for month, both masculine gender.
In Sanscrit, measure, means, mani
thou measurest, mdSe he measures,
matt, and an instrument of measuring
is called in Sanscrit, DldtrdH, III Greek,
mstr0n, our metre.
Hence we reason with Max Muller,
If the moon was originally called the
measurer, the ruler of days and weeks
and seasons, the regulator Of tides,
the Lord of their festivals and the
herald of public assemblies, 1t is but
natural that she" should have been
conceived as a man aud not as a love-
sick maiden, which our modern ssnti-
mental poetry has put in his place,
for time was measured by nights and
moons and winters, long before it was

ST. Louis, February pa des-

news has been received there from
Chihuahua, Mexico, that the In
dams are again on the warpath in
that region. Two hundred of them
attacked settlement near Corrales
few days ago, killed several women
and children and plundered the
place. Advises from Fort Cum
mings, n. NJ, says Lieutenant Me-
rey, with Company X, Ninth Caval-
ry, and thirty Indian scouts, has lust
returned from following a band OF
Apaches into Mexico. He came
upon their camp in a canyon in the
Candaleria Mountains on the night
OF the 18th inst, but before he could
attack them. the Indians scattered
in the mountains and could not be
Overtaken. The camp aud thirty
horses were captured. Lieutenant
Morey pursued these Indians $50
miles over rough, barren country,
and for eight days could procure
onl y alkali water, and for two daya
was without water of any kind.

to be, not merely whether he can
earn money enough TO give his wife
reasonable support, but whether
he is fit person to associate IN the
married relation with a woman
who, from her appearance on the
stand, seems to be a lady of respect
ability and refinement. Is he fit,
in q word, to be the father Of her
children? This question is not
laid dow II in the books, but | have
always thought it very pertinent
and decisive one. The greatest
cruelty that can possibly be
inflicted upon woman is to
make her the mother of chill
dren likely to become drunkards:
The Legislature would be justified
in providing, that where manhas 50
INDUCED in drink as to have faint
ed his blood, and thus made it
probable that his future offspring
will take, by inheritance, a tenden-
cy to vicious courses, that fact alone
should be good ground for a divorce,
although he may be in all other re-
spects kind, indulgent husband,
able and willing to give his wife an
abundant support. On the whole,
I am satisfied that there is testimo-
ny enough here to establish that
the defendant is an habitual drunk
ard-in the narrower sense of those
words given to them by our courts /;
that the habit of drinking has been
carried on by him to such excess
for two years next before the filing
of this bill as seriousl y to interfere
with his capacity and disposition to
attend to his business properly and
successfully. The complainant,
therefore, is entitled to decree.

may do directly, but also for the
wrong he may assist others IN GO,
ing. Such is the civil law, and
such is Gods law. If a man author
ICES or hires his neighbours boys
to burn the house of his enemy, he
is worse than the boys who did the
burning. And l hold that the men
who grant whisky license, are to
very large degree, held to account
for all the damage that accrues from
such license.
The question, whether more or
less liquor will be drank, does not
enter here, It is question OF con-
science-of right or wrong Is 1t
right for me to assist any one to DO
wrong? Can I justify myself IN
abetting that which is the greatest
evil in our once happy, but now
nearly whisky ruined land? God
help the right! M. BIBB.

self we'll again, and quickly returns
to his old habits. Gradually how
ever he notices that he is getting
thinner and weaker, and occasion
ally he has good deal OF pain IN
the side. He is nervous ana out OF
sorts. He has no longer the pluck
he used to have first his friends no
tice it, and then he gradually be-
comes aware of it himself. He finds
that he is not fit for business, and he
is afraid to see people. The pa
tient has occasional attacks of dlar-
rhea, his appetite fails, and the
emaciation and debility increase.
He tries all kind Of treatment, but
never sticks to one for q long time.
He consults every one Of anynote IN
the city, but derives little if any ben,
eft from their advice. He would
give up the drink if he could, but
he can't His self-reliance Is
gone, the alcohol has stolen away
his will, and he is utterly incapable
of giving up the dangerous fasel-
nation. He will take an oath to-
day that he will never take another
drop of spirits, and will probably
break it tomorrow. Sometimes he
wishes that some one would lock
him up in an asylum, or that by
some chance or other he could have
six months imprisonment, but he
never feels able to put himself I'M
der restraint. After a time the liver
gets smaller, and this, instead of
being q good sign is a bad one, for
it is contracting. He would will
ingly enough consent to knock OF
drink now but it is too late; the mis-
chief is done, the liver is in a state
of cirrhosis, and no medicine can
restore it to it's natural condition.
Is there any remedy for'this horri-
bic complaint? Yes, one; teetotal-
ism-absolute abstinence from al
coholic liquors of all kinds. This
remedy must be applied early. If
one waits till the liver has under
gone serious organic change, it is
too late. No half measures will
suffice; he must give up drink of all
kinds. If he does this he will re-
cover; but if he goes on in his old
plan an early and painful death is
the inevitable consequence.

Grant No License.

From the Fayette Enterprise, March Sth.
1t is said that great men are not
always wise And ! partly believe
it, for some great men drink whisky,
and some great men believe it is
right to authorize the sale Of it by
law.
Now with all proper regard for
the wisdom of the great ones who
run the finance machinery of the
county and State, | am disposed to
think it is not very good policy
for our courts to grant license to
sell anything that intoxicates the
BRAIN
From what know of the Commits
sioners composing the County Court
of Fayette, do not believe the sale
of ardent spirits will be protected by
law in your county.
I rejoice to think what a happy
people you will be in the years to
come How few in number your
paupers will be! How the lawyers
will have time to read their Bibles,
SO that they can quote it literally, if
they should ever have another Grim
inal to- prosecute, and how the
wives and children will rejoice,
because they can put on their good
clothes, and go to church.
No more whisky to be sold What
an epoch in the history of the peo-
pie. But, says one, it will be sold
Men have found that there is mon
ely in it, and they will sell it. AL
lowing this to be true, is that suf-
ticient reason why a court should
endorse it? Men sometimes fight
Shall the court commission a man
to 60 abroad and whip as many as
he can, provided he pay the county
ten dollars for each case? Or will
they say, for one hundred dollars, he
shall have the right to whip as
many as he chooses? Men cry out
in holy horror at the suggestion of
such a thing. Why? Because, they
say, that would not be right such
a course would destroy the peace of
any community. So does the sale
of alcoholic drinks.
1t is wrong to license men to
fight, to steal, to cheat and deceive
one another; terribly wrong But
we are told it is right to give aman
full liberty to sell that which pro-
duces fighting, stealing, cheating,
and even murder and suicide.
That which brings in its train pow
erty, suffering, disgrace that which
makes widows, orphans, beggars !;
and which ruins soul and body-for
time and eternity.
Now | ask, why some right and the
other wrong? and the answer is at
hand-the lusts, the appetite and
avarice of man has made the selling
of whisky popular, while the other
crimes-many Of them not half so
henious-are unpopular
The Commissioners Of our county
as well as yours are good men--and
we hope to see the nuisance abated.
1t IS to be hoped that the courts in
all the counties will take the only
sensible view Of the subject that can
be taken, which ! take to be as fol-
lows:
Every man must account to God,
not only for evil or wrong that he

Effect of Strong Drink ON the Liv-
or

Regular drinkers would do well
to read the following clipped from
the Merchant and Manufacturer, Gin
cinnati Ohio:
The Family Physician tells us that
when alcohol is introduced into the
stomach in the ordinary way, it
nearly all passes through the liver.
Cndiluted spirits are much more
injurious than when mixed with
water, and produce greater irrita-
ton. Alcohol consumed as wine or
beer, is far less destructive to the
liver than when taken in the form of
ardent spirits. A hot climate in
tensifes all the vicious effects of
alcohol, The symptoms of cirrhosis
OF the liver are in the early stages
often obscure, but later thew are
sufficiently well marked. At first
the liver getsslightly enlarged, and
the patient suffers from pain in the
right side, indigestion, wind, and
costlve bowels. He is occasionally
teverlsh, his skin is hot and dry,
and he has peculiar, unhealthy,
sallow look, which he probably fails
tonotice, but which is sufficiently OBJ
vious to his friends The necessity
for making a change in his habits
Is forced upon his attention, and for
a week or two he isunder the doctors
orders, and feeling unable todrink
any more, he consents to follow a
restricted diet, and to take course
of purgatives.
Soon the most prominent symp-
toms are relieved he fancies him
