THERE may be a scarcity of bread
and meat and fuel, and an excess of
water, but the supply Of whisky seems
never to- run out or cease to make
trouble. If in these exciting and dan
gerous times soup-houses could be
substituted for dram shops on the
river front, or in that vicinity, the
change would be generally beneficial.
Try the soup.
We. find the above in the Cincinnati
Commercial. That is considerable
coming down, but it will not be done.
Some years ago nearly one hundred
able-bodied men took their meals at a
soup house in Portsmouth, while at
the same time the Portsmouth papers
stated that the distillery just across
the Scioto river was MASKING" two
thousand bushels of corn each day, to
be turned into whisky.

OUT in the west part of town resides a
good sister, pious Church member, and
one of the very best-natured of women.
On Monday she was fixing her stove-pipe
after patiently working at it for an hour
and half with angelic sweetness, human
nature finally asserted itself. She grabbed
that stove-pipe, slammed it out into the
backyard, seized the hatchet and threw
at it, then rushed out, jumped on the of
Tending stove-pipe, and stamped it into
the middle of next week. When the hus-
band came home to supper he had to
march solemnly down town and buy a
new stove-pipe, as by this time both the
stove and the woman had cooled off so
that the pipe could be put up. We un-
derstand that 'Leck Foster is the man
who took home the stove-pipe.

+ OVERCOME with cold, hunger, and
whisky, John Levi, of Jackson, GIN
seng and root pedler, laid down and
died.
We find the above in the Gallipolis
Bulletin. It is all true, with the fol
lowing slight exceptions:
1. Cold, hunger and whisky never
overcame old "Shon," especially whis-
ky.
2. He was not "of Jackson" never
having been resident Of this village.
8 He perhaps never saw a root of
ginseng in his life. Sassafras root
was his specially, and he was ped
dler with two d's) Of that root.
4. Old John is not dead.
By the way, what was it that he
''laid" down when he died?

MY First CheMy

Boys, you can never be men until you
learn to chew tobacco. This is an almost
universally-acceptedidea among the youth
of this great country. The boy whose
lips resembled the muddy banks. of a
creek after Spring freshet, and the floor
beneath whose seat, at school, suggested
the idea of neglected goose-pen, was al
ways an object of especial envy to those
who had not yet Learned to chaw" There
is something fascinating about the stink
something spirited about the squirting,
that catches the attention of the youth,
and builds up within his breast an in
tense longing to see the day when he, too,
may stink and squirt.
I shall never forget my first chew. 1t

front of me had plug O natteral leaf, -
and while he was taking bite, one day,
during school hours, L was induced to
take chew; and, verify, "bit off more
than could chew" All went well for a
few mOments-but suddenly there came
a change. I realized that I was sinking

with a strange freak; he began to run
rapidly around and around the room; ]

scholars in the room began to initiate the

from that in which the teacher and schol-
ars were going. Oh, what fun it was to

well as all desire for it, was removed
from my system-and it didn't require
the services of physician to remove it
either. Boys, never had any desire

Drunken Children.

At. about $50 o'clock last night
Officer Mitchell found two boys wal
lowing in the gutter on Vine street,
in front Of the Grand Opera House, in
state of beastly intoxication. The
oldest was aged fourteen, and gave
his name as Harry Howard. The
name of the youngest, who is aged
twelve, is William Smith. Both
came here from New Albany a week
ago last Wednesday, and have, proba-
bly,, run away from home. They
have been running around the streets
of the city since arriving, supporting
themselves, on what. little money they
brought with them and what few pen
nies they could make by odd jobs.
Yesterd y they had just fifteen cents
left, and the Oldest bought five cents
worth of beer and ten cents worth of
whisky with their last pennies. This
they drank between them. The old
est was able to walk to the Central
Station, but the officer picked the
other up In his arms and carried him.
He laid him down on the station
house floor. He was literally dead
drunk. and the older one was soon
after in the same condition. Howard
said they got their liquor on Front
street. 80
We find the above in the Cincin-
natl Commercial, (now calling itself
the Commercial Gazette. That paper
has had long editorial nearly every
day, written by Samuel e. Reed, ar
guing in favor Of drinking, and in
opposition to any check upon the
liquor traffic. Such cases as the above
are the best arguments in answer to
such editorials. - -

WE clip the following from the Troy,
N. Y. Times: Letters pour in daily,
sometimes by dozens, scores and hun
dreds, to DR.. David Kennedy, of Rondout,
N. Y, in grateful acknowledgement of
the great benefits received from-his 'Fa-
vorite Remedy And they illustrate the
power of the medicine in some new, and,
perhaps, hitherto untested phase of oper-
alton. But it is when a sufferer comes
miles to tell the story of his deliverance
in person, to grasp the doctor by the
hand and greet him as true and valued
friend, that the interest in his case deep
ems and multiplies.", 22feb2w

The wicked city of Cincinnati has
been passing through some rough ex-
periences lately. Most of last week
the city was flooded with water, caus-

there was an explosion of sewer-gas,
blowing down a three-story brick
building, killing and crippling several
persons Then, there was railroad
collision, and various other visitations

.id SQUIRE BAKER had a suit for SLAM
der case before him last week. The
defendant, Rev. Peden, was recognized
to appear at next term Of Court.
We noticed the above in the Jour-
nal last week. We will assert that it
is more serious blunder than the
death of John Levi. There is but one
sRev. Peden" in this State, and that
is Thomas E. Peden, Free Will Bap-
tist preacher, now one Of the Pro-
fessors of Rio Grande College, and we
are sure he never slandered any one.
7'Squires have no jurisdiction in
slander, except the Jackson 'Squires,
and we may expect Rev. Peden to
bring slander suit against the Jour-
nal boys, before Squire McClung.

At two o'clock on Monday, Feb. 19
1888, the members of the Bar met al
the Court House. The room was well
filled with people, a large number be-
ing women. Hon. r. II. Jones was
appointed chairman, and James M
Tripp Esq secretary. The resolution,
and biographical sketch were read
after which Judge Longbon and John
T. Moore Esq. read the papers pub
lished hereafter, when ]. W. Laird and
D. Mackley spoke of deceased, princi-
pally as to his character as an attor-
ney. Judge Trip was appointed to
make an address, but he had to go to
Portsmouth, and could not be present
at the meeting.
REMARKS OF JOHN t. MOORE, ESQ.
THE DECEASED AS A CITIZEN.
1t is somewhat difficult to speak of a man. who ha.
lived public life, merely citizen. He is known
In more than one relation. His social department
comes to be canvassed his moral character DISCUSS
ed even his domestic relations made the subject
of pulic comment by over-zealous friends,
posed to unfrtendly cr1c1sm at tne nanus OF angry
enemies. follows therefore, that estimate OF
person who becomes much known, is prejudiced
one-prejudiced irPthat our views of his character
in any particular aspect tnged and bordered by
lights reflected from the character considered
from other points of view Thus in speaking of our
deceased brother, to those who knew and esteemed
him. there is a consciousness that 1t is his entire
character that stands the mental eyesight all
the while.
1t is the entire in his own strong unique In
diyidualfty that arises and that refuses to be put
down, 1t Levi DUNCAN whom we see before us, dis
iinctly different from all other men, bearing upon
his own person, those indescribabe marks by which
we identify him, and separate him from the great
crowd of fellow -men by whom we are surrounded
Such being the portrait that will nvoluntariy hang
itself in the hall of memory may be seen at glance
that our liability in estimate of our brother
as citizen is great indeed, and when we remember
that this town his home for more than forty
years, that among the older citizens his name was
