WINGED WORDS.

If words
Were birds,
And swiftly flew
From tips
To lips
Owned, dear, by you;
Would they,
To-day,
Be hawks and c lows?
Or blue,
And true.
And sweet? Who knows?
Let's play
To-day
We choose the best;
Birds blue
And true,
With dove-like breast.
It's queer,
My dear,
We never knew
That words,
Like birds,
Had wings and few!

Where the Money Goes.

The money passing into the hands OF
hquor-sellers in the great majority Of
cases does not benefit the public.
Instead of giving money to endow
schools, aid charitable institutions, build
churches and support the Gospel, they
squander their i'll gotten gains in sport
ing;" you will find them at horse races,
buying pools and betting on results.
Step into faro-banks and poker rooms,
you will find the rum-selling fraternity
well represented. In every phase of
dissolute living you will find them lead
ing. Their money goes to build up
every class and style Of dissipation. Let
any thinking man understand and know
when be favors the traffic in any way be
gives strength and power to each and
every sin which shall come as the out
growth of the traffic Therefore the
money put into the hands of the rum
seller is public curse, is public injury
not public good. Exchange
A PAPER PUBLISHED in the Canton Of
Berne, Switzerland, says: alcoholism
makes always terrible progress in this
Canton of Berne. 1t is not only the
drunkard by profession who drinks the
internal 'schnaps' (brandy), but men,
women, young people, even the children.
Here is what an inspector of schools,
well posted up in all that passes in the
villages of the ancient part of the can
ton, says: 1t is sad state that in near
ly all the village schools the teachers
say that many of their pupils drink
brandy (schnaps) at home. Many
child going to school at six years old,
who is very promising and makes an
excellent pupil during the first term, is
at the age of eight or nine years old al
most an idiot, and why? because they
give him brandy to drink, and feed him
little worse than their pigs and COWS. "
THEY WERE PASSING a dry-goods
store, when one of the party stopped
them and said: Lets go in and take
something. ;" "Why, that's a dry
goods store" said one of the party.
s'Well, what of it? Come in" nthey
marched, and arranging themselves be-
fore the counter, the gentleman who
had invited them propounded the ques-
ton: what will you take?h One of
the party took box of collars, another
took clean shirt. When the bill had
been settled, and they had walked OUT
they looked at each other rather sheep
ishly, and began to see for the frsE
time the foolishness of the treating
business.-Middletos0aa Press.

three charges. drunkenness on duty, improp-

in consequence of which she was run upon

first charge was fully substantiated as, al
though not under the influence of liquor
whe the ship struck, it was shown that he was
suffering from the effects Of it. He was
found guilty in all three of the charges and
sentenced to dismissal which sentence has
been confirmed by the President. Lieut..
Wyckofi was tried for neglect of duty, but
was fully acquitted by the court. Passed
Assistant Engineer s. Entwistle and Leith
were found guilty of neglect Of duty in not
seeing their men up from below before leav-
the ship themselves and were sentenced, the
former, to suspension from duty one year and
the latter to be publicly repremanded by the
secretary of the navy. One of the firemen,
who 80 nobly stuck to his post, answered

The Foreman Of Boston Herald Stereo.
typing Room bv the Night
Engineer.

Boston, July 10.
A most deliberate attempt to- murder W.
j. johnson, foreman OF the stereotyping
room Of the Boston Herald, was made to-
night. About 10 o'clock as johnson was
ascending the stairs from the press room to
Williams Court he was assaulted by person
hiding behind the closed half of the last
door, knocked down and pounded on the
head with what is supposed to be an iron
bar. The weapon, however, has not been
found. johnson received four CHASTITY
wounds on the head and has been taken to
the city hospital in q very low condition
David Flannery, night engineer in the press
room, who acted strangely after the assault,
was arrested. Three newsboys, who are de-
tanned - witnesses, saw the whole affair
from the top Of the stairs and identified Flan-
merry - the man who committed it. They
state they saw Flannery hiding behind the
door, lying in wait, and struck johnson as
soon ~ he appeared; the first blow knocked
johnson down and the others we're inflicted
while he was FRUSTRATED. Flannery endeav-
ored to close the other door to shut himself
and johnson in, but the latter's foot was in
the way he then flung the door back and
ran down into the press room. johnson
identified Flannery at the police station az
the man who struck him. but Flannery siren.
uously denied the charge. johnson knew no
motive for the attack and had never had any
trouble with Flannery.

CHAMBER Of DEPUTIES.
Remarks Concerning the War in
AMMAN.

PARIS, July 10.
In the Chamber of Deputies today, M.
Challemet Lacour, minister Of forei5n af-
fairs, replying to questions, said that the
French force in Tonquin was sufficient for
any opposition it was likely to encounter.
The event of the expected difficulties would
Immediately convene the Chambers. NJ.
Challemet Lacour continued: 1t is now evil
dent that Tuduc is Frances enemy. There
is no longer any question of negotiation with
him. France must now resort to fighting.
NJ. Harmoud, French civil commissioner at
Tonquin, will re-commence treating as soon
as possible after the opposition to France
has been subdued. France will occupy only
Tonquin delta. She has no intention of con-
quering AMMAN. The reports of the Chinese
aggression are unfounded. am able to
state that the pacific relations will be main
tanned with China. France demands of
China not to embarrass her action.
He proposes to conclude the convention
with China, the view of insuring respect for
their respectlue n1nticrs.
