A New Temperance Apostles
Col. james Matlack Scovel, well-known
throughout Burlington county, has en-
braced temperance, We give the follow
ing report of lecture delivered by him
in Philadelphia on Sunday evening:
For some time the Colonel has been
marked as champion Of such exhilerat-s
Ing decsctions as mineral water, ginger
ale, aud deep-dyed-in-the-wool advocate
of cold tea. During the famous Hunter
murder trial Colonel Scovel, on the morn
ing of the day he began his long speech
in the defense of the prisoner, entered
court with a suspicious-looking white
pitcher, which he placed with great care
on the table beside him. AS the pitcher
contained ruby-colored liquid, base
rumor was circulated that it was more
than likely something stronger than cider,
but the Colonel soon set aside all doubts
by informing the Judge that he had
brought cold tea into court to sustain him
during his argument. The cold tea was
absorbed quite frequently, and under its
| exhilirating influence the Colonel waxed
warm and eloqu,nt. From that time
Mr.. Scovel began to be regarded as a
luminous light among those who advocat-
ed mild liquids. The address was his
second Grafton, and he began by telling
how he was converted by seeing Senators
Yates of Illinois and McDougal of Cal.

the jim,jams. He spoke feelingly about
the enormous taxes the people of Camder
were compelled to pay, and said Horace

been for the liquor in the South ther'
would have been no war. The connec

was not very clear, but the audience dix
not seem to care. No one appeared Il
know what he m, ant when he said: :"
don't believe in selling rum misccllan

right. During the evening the speake
swallowed 1t least half dezen tumbler
full of water. Invigorated by the waite
