Fsr. TmInaage OH Prohibition.

Mr.. Talmage, iu his sermon on
Sunday, in Brooklyn, n. Y, spoke on
the evil Of incompetence, taking for
his text the description of of the red
dragon in Revelations xii, 3. So
fiercly did Mr.. Talmage gesticulate in
his denunciation of the red dragon of
alcoholism" that the stitching in the
right sleeve of his coat gave way, and
the more he swung his arm the wider
grew the rip In the course of his re-
marks Mr. Talmage said he could see
no necessity for the existence of either
the Republican or the Democratic
party, and that a new party should
arise willing TO recognize God in its
platforms and ready to thunder
against intemperance, and with a
national prohibition destroy the mon-
ster of alcoholism. In a few years,
he said, the prohibitionist would hold
the balance of power in every State,
so that no one could be elected Gov
ernor unless he was straightout pro-
hibitionist; and in twelve years they
would place President of their choice
in the White House American sla-
very, he declared was a pet lamb be-
sides intemperance. II nominate for
President and Vice President in 1884"
he said, 1.-TWO men-and l care not

cries of "Good") "Oh, my Lord and
nv God" he exclaimed, "what a
country this would he without dram
shopw (Applause.J Mr.. Talmage
said he would have an amendment to
the National Constitution passed pro-
hibtng the manufacture, sale and i'm
portation Of all alcoholic liquors except
for medicinal, scientific and artistic
purposes, and he would have a grand
national prohibition convention called
to meet next year or the year alter.
He asked that the convention meet in
Brooklyn, and, "as on this platform
Governor st. John and Governor
Colquitt had sat side by side in a
temperance meeting, | invite the con-
veDtion to assemble in this house of
God"
Mr. Talmage then said that there
had never been so much drunkenness
in New York and Brooklyn, as there
is now, and that he believed national
prohibition law could be enforced. If
the officers did not enforce it the peo-
pie, like the 'iorty-niners in San Fran
cisco, would form vigilance commit.
tees and enforce it themselves. "If it
was not enforced in Brooklyn" said
Mr. Talmage, in conclusion, "some
Sunday | would marshal in this house
battalion Of strong men who would
march through the streets and shut
up every grog-shop in the city"

An Extraordinary Poisoning
Case.

READING, Oct II An injury of
an extraordinary character threatened
the life of Mrs. Fredericka Butler, OF
this city. The lady was sitting on
the front steep of her residence in the
twilight, when suddenly a large insect
known as Xxx, a Snake Doctor" or
snake feeder, suddenly alighted on her
head. 1t rested only moment when.
the lady hurriedly brushed it away
She at once felt a slight burning sensa-
ton and she realized that she had been
stung. Her hand commenced swell
ling and in short time the hand
and arm assumed tremendous proper
tions, swelling as if the flesh would
burst. She experienced the most ag-
onizing pain and burning sensation.
Huge blsters formed under the
skin OF the hand and arm, and in a
few days they began dischargng
q poisonous green matter that consid-
erably alarmed the attending physici-
ans The swollen arm also became
dscolored, and at some places resem-
bled the color Of garter snake.
Her youth and strong constitution
prevented fatal termination thus far.
She experiences the greatest pain just
about the hour in the evening that she
was stung. Blistcrs still continue
to form, and are now discharging O
yellow and offensive matter. Drs
Luther and Muhlenberg pronounce
the case as very remarkable one, and
If the wounds do not soon heal, blood
poisoning may follow.

Nevspmperin the Family.

The current number of the New
England Journal Of Education has a
timely paper entitled "Girls should
study the newspaper" in which it
says that while the paper comes daily
into the family, and is read by the
parents and sons, the daughters, as
rule, seldom take it up. "No amount
of learning" continues the Journal,
"can atone for needless ignorance the
times in which we live. A girl who
well understands what the world is
now, with its enterprise, inventions,
discoveries, and progress, is worth a
dozen CT those who revel in ancient
history, whilst they avoid the newspa-
per like they would o political dema-
gogue. The fact is, girls are not half
furnished for the battle Of life until
they become careful, thoughtful readers
of the newspaper, Says DIR. Abbott,
Study the newspaper; if possible
study it with cyclopgdia, with atlas,
with gazetteer; but study it. No lit
erature is Worthier of your study The
newspaper may become a noble auxil-
ary to schools. 1t will awaken interest
in history and geography. Many
teachers claim that these studies fail to
interest the pupils; and that much val
liable time is wasted by craming their
heads with mass Of names and dates.
1t is believed that the reading of some
reliable daily journal by pupils will
contribute largely to their interest in
all branches. Suppose the journal
brings fresh news from Egypt; the
teacher draws from his pupils what
they have already learned about it; in
structs them to collect the news from
the seat Of war, and calls their atten-
ton to the geography Of the country,
the history, manners, government ana
general condition Of the people, past
and present In this way a few oral
lessons will make the class better ac-
| quainted with the present and past OF
Egypt, together with much incidental
knowledge concerning the government
of Great Britain, than the study o.
weeks by the old method OF surieiting
the memory with names and dates.

Jere Black Recites ~ Fable.

| SPECIAL dispatch TO the Press
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 1l.-Hon. Jere.
miah S. Black was interviewed to-day
on the Independent movement. Wh.n
asked what was meant by The Repub,i-
can uprising Mr. Black said
at means washing out Saunders -
81 do not understand you at all, "
said his interlocutor:
Then" said tue Judge, II must tell
you in story. In the reign of Charles
II. dirty boy, who seemed to know
nothing about himself except that he
had the name of Saunders, was taken
from the cutters of Chancery lane,
London, and set to keeping the door of
an attorneys Office There he learned
to read and write. He was made a
| clerk, afterwards being admitted to
practice, he became one of the greatest
special pleaders in England He rose
to be sergeant, then solicitor-general,
and in process oftime, Encouragement,
the official head of the profession. All
this while be stuck to The habits of dirt
and dishonesty that be had contracted
when waif,Cf the streets He lived
alone on Butchers low, and was so
filthy in his person that be broke out
into running sores, snltlling so badly
that it was a martyrI m to sit near
him in court. He die not pretend to
have any moral prime; ples. He even
boasted of his personal uncleanness,
and told young barristers that although
he never was married il was not fact
to be denied that be h.d issue of his
body. Nevertheless, he was tolerated
and promoted by a corrupt ministry
which needed such scrS ces as he alone
could render; for he bad ability, wealth
and impudence, heart that feared
neither God nor man, and cheek that
blushed at nothing Altogether he
was in their eyes very grand rarity
At length, when they wanted an un-
scrupulous tool at the head of the
judiciary to decide most unrighteous
cause in favcr of the crown (Rex vs. |
the Corporation of London. they made
Saunders chief justice of the kings |
bench. Then the decent men of the
law determined that they would stand
him no longer unless his habits were
reformed. They washed him by main
force, cleaned him up, compelled him
to wear the apparel of a gentleman and
to live in respectable part of the
town. Bu, cleanliness was fatal to
him. The grand old party, died of it
in less than two months. And now
here are Stewart and Wolfe and Mar
shall and Lear and Mitchell and Nc
Clure and hundred thousand other
of honor and sense. who
declare that they have endured as much
as they can from the grand old party
They will not suffer the martyrdom OF
sitting with it longer; the running
issues of its body are too offensive to
be borne. They insist that it must be
made decently clean and put on its
good behavior Therefore they are
after it with soap and rain water, and
sponges and towels and whole suit of
good clothes, determined to wash it
and dress it in spite OF its cries and
They do not mean to kill
it, but perhaps like Saunders, it cannot
survive the loss of its filth. At all
events its friends and guardians, and
those who live by its bounty, protest
that the cruel Independents
will be the death of it if they succeed
in making it clean y

F!eaufy of the Telephone.

the effect on her husband was most
discouraging.

Witness MY Hand and Seal.

A uSand years ago the masses,
the nobility. the poor and the rich,
where wholly nlecquainted with the
mysteries of The alphabet and the pen.
A few men known as clerks, who gener-
ally belonged to the priesthood, monop-
oiized them rs a special class of artists.
They taught their business only to
their seminar-t. apprentices; and be-
yond themselves aud their few pupils,
no one knew how TO read and write,
nor was it expected of the generality
any more than it would be nowadays
that everybody should be shoemaker
or a lawyer. Kings did not even know
how to sign their names, so that when
they wanted To subscribe to written
contract, law or treaty, which some
clerk had dawn up for them. they
would smear their right hand with ink,
and slap it down upon the parchment,
saying, Witness my hand" At
later date, some genius devised the
substitute OF seal which was impressed
instead of the han,l, but oftcner beside
the hand Every gentleman had
seal with peculiar device thereon.
Hence the s.icranleuial words now in
use, Witness my hand and SEAL"
affixed to modern deeds, serve at least
the purpose of reminding us of the
ignorance of the middle ages.-Laa-
