Mr.. Johnson's Lecture.

ED. PREss: lecture was delivered in the Fort
Street Church, on the evening of Tuesday last by
the celebrated temperance lecturer Mr.. Johnson,
who arrived here by the last steamer from San
Francisco The house, although comfortably full,
was not so crowded as it might have been, owing
to the fact that the night was tho last of the Loan
Exhibition; and also that rain storm seemed to
threaten To such rs were there, however, were
given the pleasure Of listening to an eloquent and
graceful speaker, who seemed very much at home
with his subject, aud who dealt out some hard and
well-dcseryed hits at tho iniquituus nature of the
LIQUOR traffic by an tble exposition of the fearful
extent to which the liquor people drink is adulter-
ated and pojs0Ied dc exhibited sample walls of
the various essential oils, together with other
chemical ingredients used i'll the manufacture of
different liquors; and also several books contain
ing receipts for their uso Ill the manufacture of
wines and spirits He asserted, and upon very
good grounds too, that such articles pure
French brandy, pure GIN, or pure port wine, were
things unknown i'll America, or here on these
Islands In all, the lecturer made fearful show
ing; and wish that every inhabitant of the city
could have been there TO hear him. But, deeply
aS | sympathize with any efforts directed against
the iniquites of the liquor traffic, and in any fair
exposition of frauds practiced for its sustentaton
and there are many still deem it right to notice
also what may deem errors of statement in re-
gar1 TO facts, and hope | may be pardoned for
noticing few which to my mind were committed
by the speaker upon this particular occasion. The
speaker asserted that four drops of suphuric acid
dose sufficient 20 kill any man, which state
ment is erroneous, as this is not III excess of an
ordinary medicinal tonic dose of the acid. Strych-
nine, whether Sin the NASH or in the distillate
would equally expose itself by its bitter taste if
contained III the liquor in sufficient quantity to be
deleterious. The speaker would make hog cholera
dependent upon the inhibition of the swill from
stills which had been impregnateed with strychnia
whereas hogcholera is specific disease dependent
upon a peculiar poison, and no more to be pro
| duced by strychnia other chemicals than il
smallpox or measles. And lastly, he cannot make
whiskey or brandy for twenty-five cents quart
here, "and make a small profit besides' for the
simple reason that the alcohol, alone required
would cost in advance OF this figure.
do not indorse the Speakers idea that alcoho
is unnecessary therapeutic agent, and that it il
simply an irritant. In medicine, hold it has it!

Interview with the Chinese Commissioners

party of mandarin celestials, who arrived per

where they are temporarily quartered On the way,
he turned over his rather rusty diplomatic lore pro-
foundy cogtating the best means of learning
visitors business, for of all nations under heaven
(if celestials may so be cassed) he has grown to
regard the celestial as most elusive. Honolulus
caravansary was reached before plan of action
arrived at and the little card which should tell
who awaited their august pleasure had hardly left
the owners hand when the messenger returned,
saying, This way, please" Up stairways, and
through long halls he went till the apartments of
Messrs! Lou Hong Kwey and On Young Wing were
reached, and who were the gentlemen sought.
They were discovered standing at the wide open
doorway, in th3ir blue and scarlet robes and skull
caps. smiling and bowing welcome First they
shook their own hands and then that of their Wis

him sat Mr.. kwey, and upon his left Mr.. Wing
with table and tall bouquet intervening, so that

flowers lay two or three dainty cups and saucers,
rare ceramic specimens, and the waiter brought i'll
a small round basket which those who have much
to do with Chinese would recognize as the CON
tainer of the cup that Cheers and which is an
indispensable Chinese companion, and withal q

 DUBLIN, Aug 16.-Mr. E. Dwyer Gray, member of Parliament and proprietor of the FTeemG7o's Journal, was to. day sentenced to three months imprisonment and to pay 8 fine of $500 for contempt of court, in pub fishing letter of MT. O'Brien, editor of the
 United Zaeland, accusing the jury which con victed Francis Hynes of the murder of John Doloughty, of being drunk on the night pre- vious to the day their verdict was given and article commenting thereon. Mir. O'Brien and Mir. Davitt were put out of court. Mir. Gray, after being sentenced,
 was handed over to the custody of the city coroner. The latter evincsd some reluc-
 tance to take charge of him, but Judge
 Lawson called upon him to do his duty. The coroner, whose intervention was necessary
 because MT. Gray is high sheriff of the city of Dublin, then conveyed the prisoner 70 the Richmond prison. MT. Gray, at the expira- tion of his term, must find sureties himself for E5, ,OOO, and two others in E2 ,OOO each. The decision of the court has caused great sensation in the city. Mir. Gray was Lord Mayor of Dublin for 1880 and was nominated
 second tine fer 1881, but declined to serve the office.

 son, the Lord Mayor refers to Mir. Gray's
 sentence by Judge Lawson and asks the peo.
