He rather defiantly declared that he had
done everything he could to secure their re-

true, and that Gov. Foster, of Ohio, had told
the president substantially the same thing
and had said that the officers should be re-
moved. Witnesses opinion was that If the

have followed that advice. He Indignantly

There was some question as to the pro-
priety of Mr.. Ingersoll's reading letter to

denied by Mr.. Merrick, but admitted by the
court. Mr.. Bliss said that other matters had
on previous occasion passed between counsel
aud witness when letters were being read
Mr. Ingersol said this was not true. Soon
after this Mr.. Merrick stated that his cross
examination was closed and the court ad-
iourned, the judge good naturedly remarking
that there was conspiracy to make him stop

The One NOse.BlOWing
Animal.

Mr.. Darwin and the other natur-
alists, in seeking to define the pecul-
iarities which distinguish man from
the lower creation, have omitted to
mention one remarkable distinction.
Man is the only animal that blows
his nose. The alligator has a nose
nearly two feet long, but he never
blows it. The elephant can reach
over his nose and tickle his hind legs,
and he often does; but he never
wipes it. The blue-nosed babboon
has a cerulean proboscis, of which
the noblest animal might be proud,
but it goes unblown. The double
nosed pointer has an immense Ca
pacity for blowing, but he never
will. And the oyster, whose nose
reaches clear around to his back, re-
Trains from exercising it Man
alone has reached to the height of a
pocket handkerchief. and he proudly
waves his bandana as a sufficient ev-
idcnce of his superiority Ex.

The Question FOrty-cight
Years Ago.

Below we print for the first time
since it was written, an article on
the subject of temperance, dated
Feb. 10TH, 1885, and addressed to a
Temperance Society in Virginia.
The writer, good old Baptist, long
since dead, was evidently a man of
sterling sense and piety, and while
not a total abstainer himself, and
opposed to taking total abstenance
pledges, he fully recognizes the evil
of intemperance then prevalent, and
the necessity of reform. 1t is an in
teresting and encouraging fact to
know that the seeds of reform plant
ed in the county by the society to
which this letter was addressed, have
at length borne fruit in powerful
sentiment which has closed, by a
popular vote, nearly every saloon in
the county. 1t will be seen from
reading the article, that the question
at that day, as now, was the plan of
reform. The necessity of a reform
was admitted. To the eternal hon.
or of the temperance people of that
county, they have gone on against
all discouragemeM, until their
county has been almost wholly eman-
cipated from the whiskey traffic.
We present the following as about
the best argument we have ever read
against temperance societies, and as
means of giving our readers a
glimpse of the temperance fight fifty
years ago. Time has refuted the ar
gument of the gentleman in his own
county. Here is what he says:
Mr.. AIRY, Feb. 9th, 1895.

the Temperance Society:

stitution, for reason why ! with

The Opinion Of a Great
Lawyer.

Read the following extract from
the speech of the celebrated Ben.
Hardin of Kentucky, in the Court
house at Harrodsburg, in March,
1889, when prosecuting Judge Will
kerson, of Mississippi, for murder
committed at Louisville, or rather
upon a charge of murder. Hardin
has been dead for many years, but
the truth he spoke in the following
paragraph is alive, and we reproduce
it for the benefit Of the readers of
the TIMES, who are all lovers Of the
truth, and we are under contract to
furnish it as often as we can. All
Kentuckians have heard of old Ben,
the bold, fearless, eloquent lawyer
and orator. In the course of his
eloquent and memorable speech, on
the occasion alluded to, the evidence
led his mind to the subject of sa-
looms, and here is what he said, a
little over forty-four years ago:
"He had been invited by Oliver
to drink at a " saloon" opposite the
Gait House. They dignity these
establishments nowadays by the
high-sounding title of saloons;"
but when you enter one Of them you
find it the vilest groggery in the
world. These dignifed groggeries
exist to a shameful extent in Louis
vile, and why? Because the politi-
clans of Louisville are too busy with
their unimportant chickering's, or too
trucking to put them down. They
are the strongholds of the voting in
terests of Louisville; and the truck
ling politicians, who are ready to
sacrifice every principle for the tri-
umph of party, court the coffee house
keepers, and bend in supplication
for their election to the inmates of
the groggeries. Even the munich
pal government is either influenced
by paltry mercenary motives in its
avidity for the revenue of licenses,
or it has not the nerve or public
spirit to grapple with the monster.
Talk of our constitution being the
greatest, the purest, and the most
efficient on the face of the earth
