Temperance in POLITICS.

To the Editor the indianapolis Journal:
Nothing could be more misleading than
the pet phrase, Temperance in politics"
There is nothing of the kind, or next to
nothing, though the signs indicate that pos
sbly there may be at no very distant day.
The liquor interest is in politics, and has
been for generation or more, though until
recently it has been sly; but of late it has
become bold and arrogant and nsolent and
aggressive. How long temperance men will
allow it to abuse their patience remains to
be seen. But if temperance men make any
move to resist all this they are at once be-
rated for Juggling temperance into politics
But all this is nothing new. As far back as
the days of Jezebel that old nag charged
Elijah with being the troubler of Israel, and
much later the slave power, which had had
its hands on the throat of the ma
ton for half century, began
to imagine that they owned this country,
and demanded the fugitive slave law and the
bred Scott decision, and all such outrages
ard then, when the free people began TO re-
monstrate, they had the audacty to say that
'bolitionists were bringing the slave ques-

Philadelphia Special.
Prof Jake Bonsall, a school-teacher in Leb

married, on Friday, to Miss Lydia McComas
Kline an heiress to $4,000 or $50 900. The
ceremony was performed under singular cir
cumstances. The bride is comedy in appear
ance, but is deaf and dumb. The groom IS
well educated man of dissolute habits, who
obtained the position of school-teacher COM
mitted a robbery soon afterward, and re-
treated before a sheriff, whose progress was
interrupted by bullet from the schoolmas-
ters pistol. On Friday morning Miss
Kline left her uncle's house, say
ing that she intended to pay
visit to a girl friend who lived half
mile of. That afternoon as the Rev. Andrew
HOechler was driving from Schaefferstown
to Cocaico he overlook Bonsall whom he
did not know. At his invitation Bonsall got
into the carriage They had not got 100
yards together before Bousall grabbed the
lines, pulled the horse to a standstll and ex-
citedly asked: Are you a preacher" The
astounded minister replied, Yes" 'Then
you are the man I'm looking for / was just
making for Cocalico when you met with me"
With that he deliberately turned the horse
around towards Schaelferstown. Mr.. Hoech-
Ter objected on the ground that he had bust
ness to attend to and could not go back.
You must GO" said Bonsall; this is bust
ness. and if you make any fuss there will be
trouble" They drove two miles got out, and
walked half mile across the fields to the
cabin of one Book. Bonsall went in without
knocking, and when Mr. HoechIer ell

who was intoxicated. went into a back room,
and soon returned with Mis- Kline, who was
crying. Now" said Bonsall, taking the
weeping girl by the hand and addressing the
minister, Il want you to marry this woman
and me. Go ahead; don't waste any time"
The minister hesitated and spoke to the girl.
She looked at Bonsall, who said She can
neither talk nor hear"

Ter.
"But you must" exclaimed Bonsall,
drawing a revolver and cooking it. You
think she don't want to marry me, l sup
pose" Taking notebook from his pocket,
Bonsall wrote, This man does not think
you want to marry me-" and showed it to
the girl. She instantly took the pencil and
underneath the query wrote, "Oh, yes;
love him and must iii;ir:rSS Lin at once"
The minister then made them husband and
wife, but it was not until the last word was
spoken that the groom put up his revolver.
The girl gave the minister S. and he drove
away to tell his strange story. Miss Kline
had taken from her home nearly all her
clothes and about S165 in bank notes. Her
uncle, Mr.. Fetterman, the guardian of her
fortune, now offers $50 reward for the cap
ture of Bonsall. The bride and groom were
last seen near Womelsdorf, and are believed
to have gone to some obscure village Mr.
