Notes.

The cigar makers, distillers, brewers
and saloon keepers of Cincinnati have
raised Sl0,OO0 in cash to fight the Pond
law. Several lawyers have already
been retained.
"When there shall be neither a slave
nor drunkard on earth-how proud
the title of that land which shall truly
claim to he the birthplace and the era
die of both those revolutions. y Abra
ham Lincoln.
Aurora, ILL.,, has elected new com
mon council which does not refuse Ii
cense, but it has raised the price from
$500 to $500. Also the frosting of the
doors and the screens used commonly
are ordered down. An honest business
needs no cOncealments.
The Chicago Tribune says: .The
liquor dealers cost the city government
S9:}O, 900, and contribute all told SI94,-
224, which leaves a deficit of S745,773.
In other words liquor vendors are
costing the city government four times
as much as they contribute to the city
treasury. They put in one dollar and
take out four"
If all drinking should cease jails
could be rented for ware-rOoms, and
poor houses would have to advertise
for bOarders. 1t is true that the poor
saloonists and sample room keepers
would have hard time, but it would
be overwhelmed by the good time that
would come to millions of homes where
would be heard loving voices instead
of curses and blows and SobS of wives
and children Inter-Ocean.
Rev. Phillips Brooks gave his views
ON prohibitory legislation at the month
ly meeting last week of the temperance
union at Boston. The true nobility
consists in retaining from drink, be
cause it is injurious, and this is the
high ideal which must he striven for,
he said, rather than prohibition by law.
| For self-control is the desired end and
liberty is the prerequisite. The coffee
house, said Mr.. Brooks, illustrates the
principle which attracts men instead of
| forcing them into sObriety. He said
also a good word for the maligned
moderate drinkers, declaring it dis
honest and hurtful to class the drunk
ard and the moderate drinker together.
Nevertheless, he concluded, if laws are
made depressing indulgence in drink,
they must he enforced and it is COW
ardly to say it is impossible.

incompetence in Wine COUn-
tries.

We drinkers have been in the habit,
for many years, of playing of the wine
countries against the teetOtallerS but
even this argument fails us when we
question the men who really know the
wine countries. Alcohol appears to be
as perniciOus to man i'll Italy, France
and Southern Germany, where little is
taken except in the form of wine, as it
is in Sweden, Scotland, Russia. Eng
land and the United States, where
more fiery and powerful dilutions are
used. FenimOre Cooper wrote Il

that there was more drunkenness
among us than in any other country
England, perhaps, excepted. A resi-
dence of six months in Paris changed
my views entirely. | have taken un-
believers with me into the streets, and
have never failed to convince them of
their mistake in the course of an hour.
On one occasion party of four went
out with this object we passed thir-
teen drunken men within an hour
many of them 50 far gone as To be to-
tally unable to walk. In passing be
tween Paris and London | have been
more struck by drunkenness in the
streets of the former than in those of
the latter HoratiO GreenOugh gives
similar testimony respecting Italy.
"Many of the more thinking and pru-
dent Italians abstain from the use of
wine several of the most eminent of
the medical men are notOriOusly OPP
posed to its use, and declare it a poi
son. One-fifth, and sometimes one
fourth of the earnings of the laborers
are expended in wine.n | have been
surprised at the quantity, the empha-
sis and the uniformity of the testimony
on this point. Close observers of the
famous beer countries, such as Saxony
and Bavaria, where the beer is pure
and excellent, speak of this delicious
liquid as the chief enemy of the nobler
faculties and tastes of human nature.
The surplus wealth, the surplus time,
the surplus force of those nations are
chiefly expended in fuddling the brain
with beer. Now no reader of this peri
Odical needs To be informed that
the progress of nations and of men
depends upon the use they make of
their little surplus. 1t is not small

some shoes, was caught, arrested. in
dicted, allowed to plead guilty, and
sentenced to five Years in states pris-
on, within twelve hours after he had
committed the crime. This is "A speci-

so wide a repute. In this city, Captain
Solomon Josephs, travelling statesmen,
was arrested, locked up, and fined ten
dollars, by a justice of the peace for
using a pistol to defend himself when
set upon by three robbers in Second
avenue horse-car, while escorting his
wife and children home from journey.
Captain Josephs was wearing a dia-
mOnd pin, at which the thieves made "A
grab, and he had in his pocket an
amount of money which it was worth
his while to defend. The police ar
rived at the scene of disturbance in
time to arrest the victim, and Justice

serve their reputation for activity by
sustaining the charge of carrying a
concealed weapon.-[N. Y. Telegram.

The ParabIes Of Our Lord.-fO.
From the Revised ver.ion.l
TIE rNMERCIFrL SERVANT.

Therefore is the kingdom of heaven
likened unto certain king, which
would make a reckoning with his ser
wants And when he had begun to
reckon, one was brought unto him,
which owed him ten thousand talents.
But forasmuch as he had not where
with to pay, his lord commanded him
to be sold. and his wife, and children,
and all that he had, and payment to
be made. The servant therefore fell
down and worshipped him, saying,
Lord. have patience with me, and |
will pay thee all. And the lord of that
servant, being moved with compassion,
released him, aud forgave him the
debt But that servant went out, and
found one of his fellow servants, which
owed him "A hundred pence: and he
laid hold on him, and took him by the
throat, saying, Pay what thou owest.
So his fellow servant fell down and be
sought him, saying, Have patience with
me, and | will pay thee. And he would
not: but went and east him into pris-
on, till he should pay that which was
due. So when his fellow servants saw
what was done, they were exceeding
sorry, and came and told unto their
lord. all that was done. Then his lord
called him unto him and saith unto him,
Thou wicked servant, | fOrgave thee
all that debt, because thou besoughtest
me: shouldest not thou also have had
mercy on thy fellow servant, even as
| had mercy on thee ? And his lord
was wroth. and delivered him to the
tormentors till he should pay all that
was due. So shall my heavenly Father
do unto You, if We forgive not every
one his brother from your own hearts.
- Matt. lS:23-35.

A sinful life destroys the best facul-
ties of the human soul and cultivates
the meanest; a godly life destroys the
meanest faculties and develops the no
blest. The service of Christ naturally
gives to the world its grandest charac-
tiers.
