every constituent and for every epe- |
my of Senator Douglas she had just |
the right thing ready to say, |
and, with her wonderful mems
orv for names, faces and
places. she was never without some
personal inqiries to make OF each
stranger. Her social instinct was as
marvellous as the gift of second sight,
and when she accompanied MIR.
Douglas on his famous journey
through the South to visit his moths

tered in all that tour that she could
not have recognized at sight and
called by name, had they entered
her parlor unannounced a year later.
Mrs. Hayes is the only lady in public
life who has created the same inter-
est among the people as
Mrs. Douglas. Wherever the
Little Giant went the crowd would
cheer and call for his wife, just as
the loyal citizens have since wels
coined Mrs. Hayes at depots, State
Fair Grounds and the like. Mrs.
Douglas popularity was wonderful
at that time, and her face and win
ming ways made friends right and
left for the Senator, at that time a
candidate for the Presidency. At
one of her receptions in Washington
a great shy, awkward constituent
from the most ructic regions OF His
nois, presented himself in Mrs.
Douglas doorway, sent there from
capitol from the Senator. who had
assured him that his wife would be
delighted to see him. The visitor was
anything but parlor ornaa
ment, rude, unpublished son OF the
prairie, unused to any of the ways OF
society, but a power in the politics
of his home, and man whose intiu>
ence could be of vast assistance to
Mr.. Douglas. Entering the room
gave him nervous chill, Mrs
Douglas pretty greeting threw him
into fever, and her inviting him
out to the refreshment room COM
pleted case of palsy. Ignoring his
trepidition she chatted away to him
herself, paid no attention to his

THE OHIO WHISKY LAWS.

The State of Ohio is still agitated
over the passage of two laws by she
Legislature OF that State, one of
which levies tax on the privilege
of selling intoxicating drinks and the
other prohibits drinking saloons from
keeping open on the Sabbath day
The principle opposition to these
measures comes from the cities, es~
pecially from Cincinnati, where
saloons have been kept opened as
freely on Sunday as any other day
OF the week A majority of the
members OF the Legislature were
Republicans and that party is being
heldresponsible by the liquor dealers
for what they are pleased to regard
as an improper interference with
their rights. The Democrats, as a
matter of course, who are anxious to
secure the support of the the whis-
ky dealers and the Sabbath breakers
encourage this in every possible way
and in many localities their platform
will be free whisky and no Sunday.
The Republican press of the State
or portion OF it, were disposed a
the outset to handle the question
very tenderly, but seeing that tn
issue must be met, latterly the pa
pers have changed their tone AM
have decided to meet it boldly. Th
result is, some interesting facts hav

The politicians of Mississippi are
not pleased with Chalmers. They
do not like him and he reciprocates.
He is an Independent candidate for
Congress. They cal him sore~
head, and possibly he is. He thinks
the Democrats didn't treat him just
right when they allowed him to be
ousted from the seat in Congress to
which he was clearly not elected, and
he will give them some trouble over
it. They pretend that they have nc
fears of the result, but he is clearly

An Interesting Bible Meeting.

On Sunday night last a very inter
esting meeting was held in the Welsh
Church, in Mechanicsville, to advo-
cate the cause of the Bible Society.
Hon. David Richards presided;
Professor Jones read Psalm xix, and
prayed. The pastor made few
opening remarks, and said that the
Bible was translated into the Welsh
language over 800 years ago; that
it was considered by learned men
one of the best translations; that
through the efforts of eminent Welsh
men, and especially the London BIZ
BILE Society, the Bible was placed N
the hands of all the people, and
blessed the land with the light, lib
erty and peace of the Gospel; and
that bis nation generally are Bible
readers and believers, and the faiths
| full and liberal friends of the Bible
! societies.
Rev. Dr. Humes gave Us scholas-
tic, beautiful and affecting address.
He said that the great God revealed
Himself to mankind in two different
ways, namely: In His works in ma
ture, and In His words In the Bible.
He explained to US the immensely,
the wonders, the variety, the unity
and the beauties of creation, and
proved that tie like varieties, unity
and beauties were to be seen in the
holy Scriptures of the OLD and New
Testaments; and he showed, by
illustrations and strong arguments,
the adaptability of the Bible to the
wants of man-to his intellect, to
his love and to his conscience.
This venerable gentleman seemed to
speak to us under special JUNCTION
and power of the Holy Spirit.
Judge Lewis speech was very
eloquent, He spoke Of the great
restitution that still exists,
for the Word of God, not
only in Pagan lands, but also in
our own country, and alas! in the
State of Tennessee; and OF the duty
of all Christian pastors and churches
to cooperate more faithfully with
the Bible Society in their efforts to
!, supply ali living men with this Di>
vine Book. Biol baauu bobl boil

dote about the sagacity and efforts
of pious lady to reclaim. her hus-
band, who was a scoffer of religion
; from his dissipated habits, which
made him bankrupt, and to induc'
him to read and study the Bible. A
last he did so and became a happy
l man and faithful Christian.
Hon. j. A. Rayl spoke to the chill
dren in his usual plain and happy
I. style, and made deep impression
E on their minds, as to the value of tn
! Bible to them, to the churches, ant
: ), to all the world. He also showet
the necessity for money to carry o.

Chicago Tribune.
One Mr.. Girsh Martin. an old and
experienced distilIrr, writes in a Peoria
paper ON the present and possible fu-
turc of the di-tilcry business in the
United States. He says that there are
now ON hand in this country 10000
GOO gallons of whisky, of which O.OOO,-
600 are in bond in the government
warehouses. The foreign demand has
fallen from 100000 barrels in lSSO-'Sl
to almost nothing. The diSlillcr,, how
ever. have To keep their machinery i'm
order, and the production goes on. an
tiripating an increased demand. This
Mr.. Martin, however, claims that the
jO,OO0,OOO American people of the pres
cnt day drink less whisky than the 25,-
600 people did thirty years ago, This
reduction of the average and the total
consumption Of spirits, he insists. is the
result of the introduction of lager
beer Us general beverage of the
Americans, and he pronomccs lager
beer "thc worst enemy whisky has to
face in the United States to-day.' The
same writer discusses the questions
arising under the prohibition agitation,
and the effect which any angry contro-
vcrsy on that subject between those in
the trade and the prohibition people
will have upon the social as well aS the
political character of the country. Re
fcrring TO the cycntful fate of slavery.
Mr.. Martin warns the manufacturers of
Intoxicating beverages rs follows:
"Thcrc are less than 100 great distiI-
leries in the whole United States. The
retail dealers, the saloon men, are
generally men without means and not
of habits to acquire much wealth. With
rare exceptions, like Peoria, the whole
sale dealers are not much better. The
social position of the liquor trade holds
no sort of comparison TO the social stat
us of American slavery. The moral
and religious sentiment of American
society is against it, The women ore
against it, This moral sentiment stands
like u stone wall to confront it. OF
course this is free country. and any
man, any editor, any class, or any in
tcrcst has an undoubtcd right to beat
its brains out against this stone wall.

right But personally you can count

Said the great English writer, Car.

Fair Earth and Task Garden, where

Stcalng?"
Let Us ask the question in America
TODAY.
To he fed. to be clothed, to be housed,
are the necessities of mankind.
Nature imposes these necessities as Il
sort of penalty of existence.
There is no escape from them. Men
must be fed, clothed and sheltered.
To obtain food, clothing and shelter
requires labor labor in Gods fair
earth and taSk-gardcn.
Some must labor. or all would perish
from starvation. nakcdncss or expo.

But those who are not laboring? How
do they live?
This is the question, asked in thunder
tones hundred years ago by the hun.
erv. naked and unsheltercd hurlcs Of
France, and repeated to-day in ireland
hv the rcnt-burllcned dwcllcrS in mud
novels.
This is the question that i, asked to-
day, or should he, by the men who are
at work in this country raising bread
-tuil'S. making clothes and building
shelters for all those who work and
those who work not.
If six men were cast upon an island,
ont of reach of all aid from the world,
all would have to work. If one of the
six should set up the clam of an .'aris-
tocrat," that he was too good to work,
the Others would say let him starvc.
Yet in this country. where t..s pco-
pie are presumed (vIuirnt prcSumption)
10 rule themselves, there are hundreds
of thousands who have never, by actual
work "in Gods fair earth and task
garden" earned single loaf of bread,
or a single suit of clothes in their whole
lives.
They are what are sometimes proper
" called DrOncS.
They are in fact BlOodSuckcrs and
Vampires.
They are the men who not only do
not work. but they exact from their
fellow men the fat of the land, the first

and the richest and rarcst of the worlds

They are bankers, money mongcrs,
