Henry Ward Beecher's First Drink.

Mr.. R. Graham, secretary of Church of
England temperance society, VINO is about
to sail for England, was formally taken
leave Of at a meeting held the other night
at Brooklyn, upon which occasion Mr..
Beecher told this story of his first drink:
He said it was not often the
venerable DR.. Schenck was mistaken, but
he was in that instance if he imagined MIR.
Beecher was not very weak. He should
like nothiny better than to have DR.. Schenck
for Bishop. He thought the Bishop
would have a good time, and he was sure he
would. He would be proud to be under
DR.. schenck, for he greatly admired him for
his sterling qualities and his social capac-
ity, and for his liberality-within the
bounds of his own church. Laughter
MIR. Beecher described the ministers meet
ings in his boyhood. It was a delightful
time. It was prospect Of turkeys and pud-
dings. It was delicious time when
the ministers met in his fathers house.
There is no company you can find, said Mr..
Beecher like band Of good orthodox
clergymen-such as you and I are, DIR.
Schenck-met together to tell stories of
which they are a portfolio. Well, when
the time came for the ministers to meet at
my fathers house, was sent out for pipes,
tobacco and rum. My father was most
temperate man. I never saw him take
drink of ardent spirits but once in my life,
and then he was sick-not after he drank
it, but before. Wine was very scarce when
was boy, and a companion and saved
enough money to buy half a pint of wine. We
got couple of eggs and went down to the
meadow. We knew eggs and wine went to-
gether, and we ate the egg first and then
drank the wine. It tasted SO bad to me
thought the man had made mistake and
given me physic. So you see in my natural
state, when my palate had tasted wine, I
took it to be just what it is-medicine."
Mr.. Beecher spoke of the early beginnings
Of temperance, and snoEed that there was
universal craving for intoxicants. The
effort to abolish the use them had to be
renewed in every age and among all prople.

Justice at Last to Bull Run Russell.

The Providence Journal says Of The IA
nous war correspondent of the London
Times, William Howard Russell:
:'If any one will look back over the VOL
ume OF letters in which he described the
first aspect of the struggle, and even the
description Of the famous route of Bull
Run, he will find great deal Of truth in
them, which We are now calm enough to
for the excited feelings of the time, it
is difficult to understand how we became
SO angry with the chronicler, who put down
what he saw.with a reporters instinct for
truth. He told us the facts ia the case per-
haps with some needless harshness and an
entire absence of sympathy with the real
meaning of the struggle; but not malicious

Broad vs.. Narrow Wagon Tires.

IRON Tile CQlcaSO 1IlDun0.
We have often wondered why people per-
sist in the use Of narrow wagon tires in any
section of country where the roads are of
clay and mud. Common sense should
teach men that the narrower the tire the
deeper the wheel will sink down in the
mud. The prevailing width of road wagon
tires is one and three fourths to two inches,
when they should be at least double that.
If the tire were four inches wide, the wag-
on would not sihk one quarter as deep in
soft roads, and these terrible ruts seen in
wet weather would not exist. Broad tires
have the effect of smoothing and improving
clay roads. The surface OF roads will stauo
q certain amount of pressure, But the mar
row tire Of loaded wagon cuts through it
like knife; whereas broad tire four or
five inches wide would roll over it without
sinking. If the wagons in this city were
all broad tire it would save the property
holders at least half million a year 10 the
wear of improved streets which are now torn
to pieces by narrow tires Or heavily laden
trucks. We find the follow ing on this sub
ject in the Dowayiac (lIch.) Republic
can:
''The wide tire wagon is coming into
general use in this vicinity. Those who
haye purchased tL:s style Of wagon could
not be induced to go back to the old. The
philosophy Of this is really observed. The
broad tire does not cut through, either III
mud or sand, thus making the dra ught
much lighter; besides this the roads are not
cut up, but to the contrary, tie bread tire
presses down the Jumps and leaves q
smooth track, thus lettering the 10 Ids. the
advantage of which is easily UNDERSTOOD.
Many farmers and Transfers are having
their wheels fixed over with broad tire.
which is done at small cost, while hardly a
new wagon is made here of the old style.
It is hoped that the broad tire will be gen.
orally adopted, and that none will pur-
chase wagon without first considering
the benefits arising from using this style:
The tire which seems to meet with general
favor is three and half inches wide.

less. In the case Of the other, there IL no
such supporting conviction, and his own
uncertainty about himself makes him sls-
pect doubts in others. Hence he is driven
to a perpetual assertion Of his quality as .
gentleman. One of the commonest ways
in which this shows itself is kind Of by
persensitiveness on the point Of honor.
The true gentleman is never quick to take
offense. Not seeing any sufficient reason
why any one should want to affront him,
he is not prone to detect al intended slight
in every place of careless behavior, or .

Gen. Joseph Lanes Last Letter.

From the Evansville indy Courier.
A few days since Gen. Joseph Lane adj
dressed letter to Col. A. T. Whittlesey, of
this city, with reference to the affairs Of the
Vanderburg Historical society, which was
perhaps the last letter he ever wrote. From
that letter We take the liberty of extracting a
few sentences. Speaking Of his early
struggle in Indiana and elsewhere, Gen.
Lane says:
MY leisure moments have been spent in
study. have made myself acquainted
with I'LL the people Of which history makes
mention. When in the army in Mexico I
had with me library consisting Of the New
Testament, Shakespeare, SCOTS Tactics
and approaches. While in congress had
access to one of the finest libraries in the
world, and my every leisure moment was
spent in study. Since my retirement from
public life have kept myself well posted
in modern literature, while much of my time
has been devoted to scientific studies.
Among the works have kept by me is the
Popular Science Monthly, edited by Yeo-
man brothers, which have taken for years.
Now, when you recall the date of my birth,
December "a, 1901, and my marriage, June
20, 1920, and the taking my seat in the leg
islature in December, 1922, you will natur-
ally say I married very young and COM
mence.' political life very early. That is
true. but was man for all that. In con-
clus1on, my kind friend, must say I am
too feeble for further effort; am as near
the grave as it is possible to be and still
live. I am standing on the shore Of the
dark river, calmly waiting for the vessel to
to write you again, even by the hand Of an
other; SO I bid you an affectionate, long,
a last farewell, and the same to all the good
people of Evansville. To them and to the
city, wish continued health, happiness
and prosperity"

Professor E. G. Pickering, Of Harvard
College, was asked recently what he knew
about this alleged conjunction of planets
which sundry people have thought or said
they thought or thought they thought was
going to be SO disastrous. In to the
Augusta Age he said: ''No uneasiness is
felt among professional astronomers about
the effect on human affairs Of any con-
junction of planets. There is no reason
to suppose that such conjunctions are at
tended BY any peculiar terrestrial phenonc

The Gentleman.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.

The character, indeed, is not one to be
supported dramatically; and here is the
rock by which pretenders to it most COM
monty split. They defeat their own pur-
rose by making it too evident that they are
anxious to be taken for gentlemen, whereas
the genuine gentleman has no anxiety about
the matter at all. He knows himself to be
q gentleman, and it never occurs to him
that there can be any question about his
right to the title. So that self assertion in
any shape ia to him thing entirely need

ena." There are, We are ashamed to say,
thousands Of people in New England who
have got into an awful state of mind about
this thing. Reasoning won't convince them;
perhaps, this plain statement may prevent
their swallowing any mere nonsense pre-
scented to them by astrologers and clairvoy-
ants and the like.

HOW 1T WORKS IN WYOMING.
Gov. Hoyt's Opinion of Woman
Suffrage.

TERRITORY OF WYOMING,
Executive Department,
Cheyenne, May 81, 'Sl.)
DEAR Notwithstanding myself
of my first leisure moment after my
return to the east, / now respond
with pleasure to your inquiry of
recent date concerning woman suff-
rage.
Perhaps | would sufficiently cover
the ground by saying that whereas
came to Wyoming in considerable
doubt on the subject, three years of
close observation and inquiry have
established me in the conviction,
not only that woman suffrage is q
practical success in Wyoming, but
that its adoption throughout our
country is demanded by both JUS
tice and the highest political wis
dom. While it has not accomplish
ed all that enthusiastic reformers
have fondly hoped, nor yet so much
for the moral elevation of society as
some have supposed there was rea-
son to anticipate-a fact easily ex-
planned, in view of the peculiar
circumstances which attach TO a new
community, composed in large part
of young persons here for definite
purpose, and without intention of
permanent residence--still it is un-
deniable.
First, that it is accompanied by
no evi! results which are now dis
coverable; and
Second, that we have better laws,
better men in Office and a better So
cial order because of it.
The statement so often seen in
print that "none but vicious women
vote" is gross libel, deserving of
the highest commentator. The
women of Wyoming do generally
vote" and it is due to them that |
say, they use the ballot with large
degree of independence and with
more than the ordinary discrimina-
ton as to social ends and the moral
fitness of candidates.
| congratulate the people of Ne
braska--a state with so magnificent
future clearly before it--on the
liberality of their decision to take
the first step in revolution which
for breadth and benificence will
rank foremost i'm the records of po-
litical history. Let US hope that the
second great step will be forward.
With great respect, your obedient
servant, JOHN W. HoYT.

Discipline i'm Childhood.

Young people who have been
habitually gratified in all their
desires will not only indulge more
in capricious desires, but will in
fallibly take it more amiss when the
feelings or happiness Of others re-
quire that they should be thwarted,
than those who have been practi-
tically trained to the habit of subdu-
ingand restraining them, and conse-
quently will, in general, sacrifice
the happiness of others to their own
selfish indulgences. To what else
is the selfishness of princes and
other great people to be attributed !?
II is vain to think of cultivating
principles of generosity and ben
eficence by mere extortion and reas-
oning; nothing but the practical
habit of overcoming our own sell
fishness, and of Familiarity encoun-
tering privations and discomforts
on account of others, will ever
enable us to do it when required.
Indulgence infallibly produces sell
fishness and hardness of heart, and
nothing but severe discipline and
control can lay the foundation of q
magnanimous character.

million, five millions or ten millions
of dollars. If the problem of cheap
transportation be solved then every
interest in this country will be pro-
tected. What made the south strong
in it's day? The fact that the cotton
and slave industry was a unit. To-
day the policy of the south is the
policy of the manufacturing inter-
ests, and the railroad interests, and
it is only the agricultural interest
whose members are isolated and
helpless in the presence of the other
interests. Let it be remembered
that our ultimate market is in Eu-
rope. 1t is here we must get our
products, and the question of our
prosperity depends on the cheapness
with which the transportation is
effected.
Here on the rivers is the way, and
q way which antagonizes none, for
he was glad to say that the wisest of
railroad men are in favor of this
great movement. In this great land
there will be no opposition to the
movement to open these rivers so
that commerce may float on their
bosoms as easily and safely as on
the smooth canals of the east or the
bosom of the ocean. The question
of the cost is nothing. Every year
this country gives millions to the
iron industry, and millions to the
spindles; but yet nothing has been
rendered to agriculture which is the
foundation of all. He repeated
there is no antagonism to railroads.
But all are aware that it is the trans
portation from the west which
makes the millionaire fortunes of
Wall street, and it would be no in
jury to anybody to take little
money to improve the river ways
which money will save great expen-
ditures i'm the future. The time is
now for this great work; and there
is no reason why it should not at
once be accomplished. cloud cheers
