Nevertheless, the fact must not be overlooked nor under estimated that vast change for the better in the habits of society has been effected in the past half century. Temperance societies had essentially emancipated the higher classes from convivial customs which had been counted essential to good breeding before the system took on, noticeably, it's more mod ern dogmatic habit and attitude. It would be less arduous task, by far, in these days, to obtain and enforce that judicious and eff fective legislation which the Boston lect2rer was working for, and has proposed ipe his sequel. Here is no uncertainty as to the facts, no dimness as to the principles, and there should be no hesitation respecting the necessary legislation nor the necessary pub lie action to obtain it. A. c. T,

A Courteous Rector.


 courteous rector in @ northern county was in the habit of not beginning divine ser vice until he had satisfied himself that the squire was duly ensconced in the family pew, but happening one Sunday to omit ascertain ing the fact, he had gone into the reading desk and had commenced 'fWhen the wicked man" when he was instantly stopped by the faithful clerk, 'tHe ain't come in, sir :" This is well known story, and is perhaps apocryphal, but something similar happened to friend of mine, who did his first duty after his ordination as deacon in @ village church to which he had been appointed curate, his rector being engaged at second church in another part of the parish. The old parish clerk, after ringing the two bells at the west end of the church, came up to the chancel where the curat, had put on his surplice be- hind the high-curtained end of the squlres pew the church not boosting a vestry, and was looking at his watch with nervous anx- ,itety to keep to the exact time for begin ming his first service, To his surprise, the clerk, saying to him in an audible voice, You must waitssa bit, sir, we ain't ready !" stepped into the communion area, clambered on to the communion table. and stood upon 1t while he looked through the east window and carefully scrutinized the church yard path that led past the window to a door in the wall of the squire's garden, through which his wife, who lady of title, was accus- toned to come to church with her children. The curate was full of George Herbert's and Keble's reverence for holy places, and was aghast at the sight of the parish clerk thus standing on the communion table in full sight of the congregation, and coolly turning round from his Inspection through the east window and saying to the curate in an audible voice; You moant begin yet.

Chancellor Crosby's ssspeetrunl" of Radi- cal Temperance (COntfnued.}

Chancellor G'rOsby's ssSpeetruM'' of Radi-
 cal Temperance (COntfnued.}
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The Chancellor, in impugning as he has the working dogma and venerated axiom of the multitudinous and hitherto dominant radical reformers, repeats, as it were, the daring although not the recklessness, of Ajax defying the lightning. His language is '.In this address I take no apologe:ic posi- tion I carry the war into Africa. have no contest with men, but with false princi- pIes I assert that the total abstinence sys- tenn is false in it's philosophy, contrary to revealed religion, and harmful to the inter ests of our country. I charge upon this sys- tenn the growth of drunkenness in our land and general demoralization among religious communities. And I call upon sound-minded. thinking men to stop the enormities of this false system by uniting in reasonable and wholesome measures TOT the suppression oI drunkenness"
 It is not the individual and voluntary ''to- taI abstinence" that is thus impugned, but that s'total abstinence system" which asserts and maintains itself to be an essential of all good citizenship and morality and before the magnates of this reform, with hair on end shall have concluded by what measures to resist effectually this unprecedented apd most astonishing reinforcement of 'the Devil and all his works" should they not prudently traverse the starting spectrum which their inquisitor's refractive intellect has exposed to the public gaze mot, verify, iike-tinted with the solar, although, like that, crossed by many dark band. For, prima- rily, men in general will not submit to sys- tenn which seeks to impose on the public conscience a measure of expediency, open rightfully to every one for adoption or rejec- ton, which has created fictitious public conscience by debasing the word temperance itself from it's just pristine application, se., to mans due and harrnonious self-regulation of all his appetites and faculties down to "a legalism that prohibits man from any drink that can intoxicate, which has systemati- cally misrepresented the uses of wine, from antiquity down, when 'tthere is not chem ist nor scholar who would dare risk his rep utation on the assertion that there was evef an unfermented wine in common use, know ing well that the must preserved from fer lnentation is called wine by kind of cour- tesy."
 Moreover, this total abstinent advocacy has not obtained from deceptive twisting of Scripture" ''No unbiased reader can for moment doubt that wine, as referred to in the Bible, pGssiDa, is an intoxicating drink, and that such wine was drunk by our Saviour and the early Christians

A notable statement is made by the Port land Press in an article opposing movement to give additional stringency to the Maine prohibitory liquor law, It says that during the twenty years that the law has been in operation there has been an alarming in- crease in crimes of kind usually attributed to drunkenness, and that at this time there are more drinking saloons in Portland than ever before. On the authority of Neal Dow the number is given as 130.
 According to the reports of the Greek mil itary attache at Constantinople, the force which the Porte would, in the event of a war with Greece, assemble on the frontier would be about 7o,O00 men. The Greek army, on the other hand, would consist of so, 600 men at the most, so that in point of numbers the two armies would be about equal. It is admitted by the most eminent Greek officers that the Greek troops Sare equivalent to good militia, perhaps better than that brought by Seryia into the field in its last war with Turkey At the same time they hope than in three months the troops will have so improved by their drill that, though they will not be able to bear compar- ison with well-o ganized European armies,

 A case of much interest to persons in all parts of the country has lately come before Judge Lawrence, first comptroller of the treasury, for decision. The assistant treas urer of Philadelphia notified him that a con- siderable number of registered United States bonds, owned in that city. were registered in the names of minors, some of them being very young. The question was whether the checks for interest sent out from Washing ton, payable to the order of the owners of the bonds, must be indorsed by these children, or might be indorsed by some one for them. The comptroller will hold that in such cases guardian must be appointed for the owner of the bonds, and that his indorsement will be sufficient when he has proven his guardianship the identity of his ward as the owner of the bond, and the continuance of the guardianship to cover the time of payment. It will be held also that, where the treasury depa1 tment is not informed that the owner of the bond is minor, the government is not responsible on account of payment of checks for interest indorsed by him.
 The second semi annual meeting of the ex- ecutive board of the Union of American He brew congregations has recently been held in Cincinnati, the gentlemen of the board hay ing been elected at the general council held in New York in 1879, and holding office for two years The duties of this board are inn portant and of much responsibility. The in- stitution over which it has control includes 100 Hebrew congregations, which are scat tered all over the United States very few of them, however. being in New England. These congregations have about 1000 mem- bers, who are, in most cases. the heads of families, so that the real number of persons under it's charge is not far from 0,00O. The congregations own property valued at $4,- GOO, ,OOO and their annual expenditures are about $5OO.00O. Among other matters which came before the subcommittee on civil and religious rights for consideration, was the question of what action, if any, should be taken by it by way of extending sympathy or aid to the German Hebrews who have suffered attacks and persecution on &C., count of their religion. It was decided, af- ter full discussion, to recommend no action. Respecting the continued persecution of the Jews in Morocco, the same committee re- ported that they were in correspondence with the United States consul at Tangier, and honed for some substantial results
