The Physicians Influence.

James L. Perryman, A. NJ, NJ. D.,
in suggestive article upon the De-
structive Effects of Alcohol" writes:
My own observation in reference to
the in Il nee that the phys clan has for
veal or woe upon human soc ETY. leads
m TO conclude that every one of them
who can be won over to the side of
Temperance is as great an auxiliary to
this cause as he is useful and power ul
in staving the ravages of disease. Tie
writer has known number of melan-
chOly instances where drunkenness and
premature death were brought about by
t prescription, example and advice of
the physician. T ese cases that re-
fer to were young gentlemen of
h Oh order of ability, endowed with
every manly attribute, with bright
prospects for the future, a so of honor
able par ntage, but step by step they
were allured to their doom by tIis fell
destroyer. dissipation, and at last filed
drunkard's graves. One case that was
of peculiar interest was that of young
man who had never DIR nix in his life
until he was stricken down W tn ty-
phoid pneumonia and his physic an pre-
s"ribed for HIM whisky and VIM. He
slowly recovered, but when fu ly con-
valesc nj it was seen by his friends that
the liquor which had been pre-
scribed for him had aroused that
demon of drunkenness that had
slumbered in his system for quarter of
a century, He then became the most
confirmed sot that | ever knew, and
died in fit of delirium tremens. And
l will venture this assertion, without
the fear of successful contradiction:
that there is not practicing physician
of any respectability who has not seen
many such cases. When we re- ect.
then, upon the grave res ponsibil ty
that rests upon the good physic an, it is
enough to stai tie him when he thinks
of the almost innumerable carayan' of
fellow-beings that moves every year ito
the pale realms of shade through
drunkenness and diss patton. many of
whom perhaps might have been saved
if the physic ans in every community in
the civilized world had been sufiicie tly
aroused to the deadly influence of alco-
holc stimulants."

Exciting Scene at the Altar.

Society people at Albuquerque were
enveloped in amazement on Tuesday
night, when the news was rapidly spread
through the city of sensation attend
ing the arranged wedding at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Edward Powell TIE lady
is a niece of Mrs. Powell, and one of the
brightest and most charming young la
dies ever introduced into Albuquerque
society. Mr.. A. l.. Stivers, the bride
groom, is wealthy cattle-grower, the
owner of an extensive ranch in Alamo
sa, in the western part of Valen ia
County. Everything was arranged for
the wedding. The wine was on ice. the
cakes baked, and at the appoint d hour
Rev. Mr.. Kistler put in appearance.
The lady and gentleman soon to be
made man and wife were attired to suit
the occasion and stood up before the
minister of the gospel to pronounce
the solemn vows.
"Will you take this woman for your
lawful wife?" asked Rev. Mr.. Kistler.
"lwill," responded the bridegroom
elect.
"Will you take this man for your
lawful husband?" continued the min.
ister.
my God! I can't. l can't!' was the
pitiful response of the young lady. who,
bursting into tears, rushed into an ad-
joining apartment.
Ladies went to her assistance and ad-
vised with her, and the rejected BRIDE
groom tried to persuade her to change
her determination and become his wife.
1t was to no avail. The young lady
would not change her mind. Miss
Smedley had received attentions from
Mr.. Stivers since last winter. They en-
gagged to marry some months ago. but
since then the young lady has enter
tanned grave doubts as to their compati-
bihty of temperament, but, looking on
her engagement as irrevocable. allowed
matters to proceed even to the cere-
mony, when she found it impossible tc
pronounce the words that would maxi
her the life partner of man whom she
evidently did not loye.---Al6uQuerQue

An Eloquent Address.

IRON the Annual Address Of T. V. Powder
ly, Grand Master Workman of the Knights of
Labor.l
The Temperance question is a most
important one, and | sometimes think
it is the main issue. The number of
applications from locals during the past
year to grant d spensations to allow the
initiation of rum-sellers was alarming.
l have persistently refused. and will en-
join my successor, if he values the int
ure welfare of the order, to shut its
doors with triple bars aga nst the adj
mission of the liquor dealer. His path
and that of the honest, industrious
workingman lie in opposite directions.
The rum-seller who seeks admi sion to
a labor society, does so that he may en-
tice its members into his saloon after
the meetings close. No question of in
terest to labor has ever been sat SAC
torily settled over bar in a rum-hole.
No labor society ever admittal rum
seller that d d not die a drunkard's
death. No workingman ever drank q
glass of rum who d d not rob his wi e
and children of the price of it. and in
doing SO committed dCuh crime
murder and taeft. He mu drrs t8eSn-
tellect with which tie Maker has en-
dowed him. He steals from his fam
lily the me ans of sustenan e he las
earned for them Turn to the annals
of every dead labor society, and you
will see whole pages blurred and de-
stroyed by the accursed fOotpr' nts of
rum. Sean the records of NJ ct ng at
which disturbance took place, and YOU
will hear echoing through the hall the
maud!in. fiendish grunt of the drunken
brute who disturbed the harmony OF the
meeting. In the whole English Ian
gulge / can find no word tLat strikes
more terror to my soul than that one
wOrd-rum. 1t was born in hell. ere
the fiat of mo relemptiOn' had gone
forth. Its fe on earth has been one of
ru to the bright hopes of youth and
the peace of old age. 1t has rolSed
childhood of its delights. 1t has stolen
the laugh from the lips of Innocence,
the bloom rom the cheek of manhood.
1t has touched the heart OF old age like
the tip of poisoned arrow. Its sound
as it gurgles from the neck of bottle
echoes through many a deSolate house
hold as the Kissing of a thousand ser
pents. You may deem me too radical
on this point. Yet ] never interfere
with tie right of man to drink if he so
elects. hold that have right to,
and do shun rum As Iwould an enraged
tiger, neither maddling with it or al
lowing it to meddle with me. So long
as it keeps its distance, am content to
leave it alone; but the moment it seeks
to interfere with my rights by coming
into tho KNIGHTS nf a hon. then NV
soul arises in arms against it, and l can
find no words too bitter, no denuncia-
ton too scathing, to hurl against it.

An Accident.

Aunt Eliza never comes to our house
without getting me into difficulties. l
don't really think she means to do it,
but it gets itself done just the same.
She was at our house last week, and
though meant to behave in the most
exemplifying manner. happened by
accident to do something which she
said ought to fill me with remorse for
the rest of my days.
Remorse is a dreadful thing to have.
Some people have it so bad that they
never get over it. There was once a
ghost who suffered dreadfully from re-
morse. He was tall white ghost, with
a large cotton umbrella. He haunted a
house where he used to walk up and
down, carrying his umbrella and look
ing awfully solemn. People used to
wonder what he wanted of an umbrella,
but they never asked him, because they
always s shrieked and faint d away when
they saw the ghost, and when they
were brought to cried: "Save me; take
it away. take it away"
Ons time boy came to the house to

eighteen summers, who was alarmed at
the danger her beloved father was in,
and who determined to rescue him if
possible. Last September, inst after
bis departure from home, she wrote
him this aiTectionate letter:
"NY DARLING PAPA: have thought of you
almost every moment since you ie home.
and II you love me as love you you will sign
this pledge and keep it, IL your stomach feels
bad, get the doctor to give you something.

] solemnly promise my daughter. Cora, that
] will not drink one drop of anything intOxi-
eating for one year, except as medicine when
ordered by physician.
Please sign this as soon as read.
No sooner did the father receive this
touching appeal than he signed it and
returned it to his daughter. We re-
ceived a call from him few days since
at the Tribune office. HIS face fairly
shone, and tears of Joy came to all eyes
as he narrated his wonderful delivery
from the rum demon. He showed with
unspeakable pride the letter of his
daughter, who loved much and accom-
plished SO much by her loye.-IODa

RAILROADS.

A BILL has passed the New York Assem-.
bly, for four track railroad underneath
Broadway.
A road is to be built under the Cumber-
land mountains, IN Tennessee. 1t is de-
signed TO- develop the coal and timber
along its line.
The iron bridge Just completed by the
Atlantic and Pacific railway over the dark,
gloomy gorge ofthe Canon Diablo, Arizona,
is 24O feet above the water, 54l feet long,
weighs nearly 40 tons, and cost $500. 600.
The Transit q Peninsula Railroad trans
ported, during the month of April, the
equivalent OF 5000 crates of early vege-
tables. The shipments for May will, it is
thought, nearly double that amount.
The Texas d Pacific officials say that since
the 1st of May they have shipped out Of
New Orleans. 103 cars Olive stock for Texas.
They claim that this is the largest shipment
of live stock which has been sent out of
New Orleans this season.
The Columbia Banner says: The grading.
is finished on the Magnolia branch road,
though we do not expect the iron will be
laid for one or two months yet. The iron
ties that the company wish to put on this
road are north of the Arkansas river, and
will not be shipped until the Rob Roy
bridge is completed. Under our contract
with Col Paramore our com missioners could
force the company to Law the track at once,
we do not think such compulsory action
would be wise policy. This com pany has
already done much for Magnolia, and will
continue to do more. Though it is ex-
pensive and annoying to our business men,
we think it prudent to await patiently the
action of the company. Let us be friends
together. Our common interest demands it.
Just now people are interested in the size
of the Brooklyn suspension bridge. The
dimensions of this structure are:
Length of river span, ,595 teet, inches.
Length of each land span, $50 feet, 1850
feet.
Length of BrooElvn approach, OIL feet.
Length OF New York approach, 1862 feet,
inches.
Total length of bridge, $3.50 feet.
Other suspension bridges, as compared
with this, show up as follows:
