A Bold Recommendation.

For fifty year the Congressional
Temperance society, which vas es-
tablished as a temperance society for
"members of Congress, and all who
have been members; officers of the
United States government, civil and
military, and heads of departments"
has kept up its beneticent inf uence
in the capitol of the nation. The first
stand taken by the society was against
the use of "ardent Spirits" but in
1912 a new departure was made, and
tho n,oduo
aimee WORK. Tie called attention to the
fact that no Congress since had made
so bold a recommendation in this
matter as that of the old Continental
body, which early in l776 recommend
ed the "several Legislatures of the
United States Immediately to pass
laws the most ctlectual for putting an
immediate stop to the pernicious
practice of distilling, from which the
most extensive evils are likely to be
derived, if not quickly prevented"
At the conclusion of the meeting the
society re-afiirmed the principle which
was the basis of its operations, thai
"total abstinence from all that can
intoxicate is fundamental to any
| thorough and permanent temperance
REFORM" The new president OF the
| society is the Hon. Ii. l.. Dawes o.

Various Notes.

"The difference between Mexican
wool and about the second cross by the
Mer;nO, in the valne of the staple by
the pound, is ten cents per pound and
upwards. The difference in weight of
fleece is double and sometimes treble
the quantity" The foregoing, from
the Texas WOOL GrOwer, shows the
value of Merinos in improving stock
and why the prices paid for them are
justified.
Shearers vary so much in their mode
of doing the work that no infiexible
rule can be given. A good shearer
never wants a sheep tied. Some pre-
fer shearing on the floor, while Others
like a low platform or bench. The
most common way is to begin at the
head, and shear round and round I'M
til the rump is reached, when the
sheep is laid down for finishing
Some prefer to begin at the brisket and
shear the belly, then up the neck, anC
then lay the sheep on its side and shear
one side; then turn it over and sheaI
the other side. A good shearer will
not tear the fleece, OF allow the sheer
to tear it in its struggles, and he will
shear of all the wool without cuttins
the skin. From twenty to thirty o
forty clean washed ewes can b.
sheared in a day, while a nan will b
obliged to spend halt a day over
single well-wrinkled Merino ram
Probably the native or half-bree'
Mexican ewes of the Southwest coul
be sheared at the rate of fifty or NOR
per day, since they have no wool o
the head or legs and often very it'll
on the belly.-[CuticatOr and Cour

Becoming the Fashion.

Commenting on the progress OF the
temperance reform in Great l'rltaln,
the London Christidn W0lld says:
Temperance principles are becoming
decidedly fashionable. At Brighton
and other resorts, n~on-alcoholic drinks,
attractive-looking, and very refresh
ing, are, it is said, being substituted
at lawn tennis and garden parties for
the usual champagne or claret cup.
Abstainers are often found to be III

households, also. gentlemen's servants
are now supplied with five o'clock
tea, instead of beer and the benefit 81

Revocation on Excise Licenses.
The New York Superior court has
recently decided an important ques-
rion as to the power of the board of
excise to revoke q license to sell liquor.
The ground on which the license in
dispute has been revoked was that the
seller had not the necessary
dations for keeping an inn, tavern or
hotel. The licensee claimed, first, that
this question was determined when his
license was granted, and therefore the
board of excise was barred from re-
opening it, and, second, that the
board could not voK the license be-
fore the licensee was convicted by a
court of an offence against the excise
law. Judge Arnoux very properly
overruled these objections and held
that the excise commissioners have
ample power to revoke licenses for
good cause, and that it may be freely
exercised without the conviction Oh
trial of the licensee in any conrt. The
claim made by the seller in this case,
if allowed, would practically defeat
one of the chief purposes of any excise
law. The trainers of the new excise
bill at Albany should pay heed to this
decision, and take care that they
do not make their proposition
Objectionable than the present
law thus construed. AS they original
ly drew their bill, it was defective on
this very point by denying absolute
discretion to the excise commissioners
to revoke licenses for good cause, and
without the preliminary of a trial and
conviction of the licensee on a criminal
Indictment. Unless this defect has
already been remedied, it constitutes a
serious objection to their bill to which
they should give instant and earnest
attention. christian 1drocdte.

A RICHMOND SENSATION.
Wanderihgs and Attempted Suicide of
Virginia Merchant.


The EceninJ Telegram to-day publishes
the following story from Richmond, Va:
Last Wednesday a week ago Mr.. John
Bradley, a merchant, residing i'm Charles
City county, drove into Richmond in a
buggy in company with Major A. II.
DreWry. The latter returned to his home
the following day, leaving Bradley 10 take
the buggy and horse back. Several davs
passed, however, and Bradley failed TO re-
turn. lie was engaged 20 be married to a
young lady in this city, and on this ac-
count his absence from home on Friday,
Saturday, Sunday and Monday last
caused no uneasiness. When TUESDAY
came and brought no tidings OF the miss
ing man, a messenger was sent here to
look after him. Bradley was non est, but
the horse and buggy were found at liv-
cry stable.
An investigation disclosed the fact that
Bradley had drawn pistol in the pres
ence of friend and remarked. 81 am IA
ruined man." but had been prevented
from self-destruction. This and other cir
cnmstances created fears for his safety,
but late Wednesday evening he turned up
in this city. He declared his intention to
fulfill his marriage engagement and went
home. On Thursday the bride prepared
for the ceremony, and the invited friends
repaired to the church to witness the mar
riage, but neither the bride nor the groom
appeared, Bradley again being missing. n
further search yesterday morning showed
that he left home for this city, aud
soon afterward friends found him in a
hotel. On the bureau in his room stood
several empty bottles marked ''lauda-
num-" Bradley was lying on the bed in
a cOmatOse state. \ physician was sent
for, antidotes were administered, and the
sufferer taken to a hospital. To one of his
friends in lucid moment he said: 'sTake
my money (abOut $400) and watch and
give it to my intended" All the parties
to the affair are of the highest standing,
and every effort has been made to keep
the matter secret. 1t is much talked of,
however, and the opinion generally enter
tanned is that he has lost his mind.

IreIand's Immigrants.

LONDON, April 23.-The steamer Scan-

Montreal, took 2S2 emigrants from county
Mayo. 1t is stated that 10000 persons in
Galway have applied to the government
for assistance to enable them to reach
America.
BosToN, April 23.-some eight hundred
assisted Irish emigrants arrived here by
the Amaria to-day. All were in good
health, and were permitted to proceed to
their destinations. The Cunard line has
booked as many steerage passengers as
their vessels can bring in three months.
The Allan line, by special arrangement
with the British Aid and Relief
Emigrant Association, will stop
at Sligo and other points
in West Ireland for this class of pas
sengers. The agent of the association
operating through this line says that the
presence of government representatives
in this association is to be construed
rather as an evidence of the interest that
the National Committee takes in the mat
ter than the contrary, and that none bui
tit and capable persons shall be assisted

I'VE expect the convention to be ii
series of harmonious meetings to prOmul-
gate the principles advocated by Mr.. Par

terests of Ireland, and our deliberations
will be conducted in such a manner as
shall command for us and the cause we
represent the respect and sympathy
of all true Americans. We ourselves
are American citizens, and we shall do
nothing to reflect discredit on our coun-
try. We are anxious to do nothing that
will not receive the support and sympa-
thy of the public and the press. The con-
veptiOn will simply indOrse the plans of
the Land League in Ireland as embodied
in the policy advocated by Mr.. Purnell.
1t will do nothing to improve upon or to
interfere with his acts. 1t will
not attempt to direct, but simply
to assist him. That is what
the convention is for, nor will it do any
thing to ALLEVIATE American sympathy. 1t
is a movement for improving the down.
