surroundings and spirit, past and present, are worldly, its inevitable tendency is to late hours, undue excitemsnt and unhealthful waste of strength. These indisputable facts lead many candid Christians, who recognize care and development of body and soul as a first duty to frown upon it az an evil. Though the act itself, in its simple form, may not be so bad, it's influence and tendencies are not spiritual or health giving but rather the op- posite.

But we doubt it's pro- priety and ultimate good even then, for it is not a necessity. There are other soures of amusement and enjoyment within reach of all clearly unobjectionable. Besides, it's ten dency (for it has it's fascinations) is to lead those accustomed to it to engage in it in other places where the surroundings are ob- jectionable. There is always safe side to every questionable thing.

Silk Kerchtsfs and Sore Throats.
 From the Dry Gooas Rnllatin

Sore throats vanish when encircIed in a sllken kerchief. This is established beyond peradventure. The grandmothers knew all about this hundred years ago They be- ieved, too, that silk would cure all other diseases, and some of them thought it would heal broken leg, Eff only taken in time l" We do not go so far as that, but we know that silk will absorb and store electricity as readily as 8 Leyden jar, It forms an essen t1al curtain for the electrical cylinder, and, rubbed with quicksilver, has some mysteri- ous power that imparts force to it's retention The curative force of silk is due to it's elec- tricity, and the medical faculty recommend silken hose and shirts for thousand diseas- es. As we are not professional, we only take silk by the throat, and know it's wonderful powers We will give sure recipe: When you have the throat trouble, give nice, clean silk handkerchief to your sweetheart, with the request to tic it around your neck If you are not cured, or choked by tender hands, we have made mistake The more expensive the kerchief, the surer the cure, because your pet takes so long to examine the quality and get it just right so it won't hurt. Try it and go home cured We ex- pect silk handkerchiefs will advance in price when this matter is understood

JuDAR P. RRNJAMIN.


 The announcement that MT. Judah P. Ben- jamin has retired from the practice of law in England on account of disease of the heart calls attention to very notable career. MT. Benjamin was born in the island of San De- mingo of Jewish parents. When he was four years old the family left San Domingo and settled in Savannah. When young man he was at Yale College for two years, and then turned his attention to law. He began the practice of hisprofession in New Orleans and was very successful in it for about twenty years. Then he was sent to the United States Senate by the Wings. He afterwards became Democrat, and the Democrats showed their appreciation of him by giving him second term in the Senate. When the rebellion broke out h5 went with the seces- sionists, and was ons of the most prominent figures in the Confectionery, holding three Cabinet positions under Jefferson Davis.
 Mr. Benjamin did all he could for the Con federacy, and when it went to pieces he was left without friends who could do anything for him or money. But he rose to the de- mands of the situation and in 1867 went to England and began life anew. He was then
 
 terms in chambers as any other barrister would, rose immediately to tho front rank in his profession, and was made queens counsei in less than five years from the date of his admission to the bar. Last year he was en- gagged as counsel in every case that was brought before the house of peers. His style in speaking was 8 model of logic and rhetoric, and he had at command 8 sarcasm so delicate and yet so cruelty piercing that it was feared as a personal chastisement. He lived in London in the most absolute simplicity. He gives great part of his income away, and is fond of assisting young lawyers. He had in London two small rooms for offices. The outer one, in which his clerk sat, was for= lornly shabby, but it is described as elegant when compared with the dingy hole back of it where the great light of jurisprudence was to be found. His book, Benjamin on Sales," brought him great sum, and has been adopt ed in England as well as this country as text book. It is said that his professional income has been about $2oe, 1000 year lately.
 There are few men who from a condition of ''bankruptcy in purse, heart and reputa- tion" at the age of ffty.four could go to foreign country and become what MT. Benja- min did in England. His carser, especially the latter part of it, is 8 striking instance of what great ability, courage and well directed work can accomplish.

According to the report of the United States consul at Rochelle, French brandy within the last three years has ceased to be brandy, being for the most part alcohol of grain, potatoes or beets. The proprietors of the vineyards themselves have become so clever in it's fabrication that it is almost im- possible even for honest merchants to buy 8 pure cognac when they wish to do so. When the bottle is inveiced or labelled 1s49 or 1856, it only means that the article has been made to resemble the brandy of that year. The alcohol which has taken the place of the genuine spirit of the grape is described as a most pernicious liquor, producing an intoxi- cation which inclines the patient to rage and physical violence, while the prolonged use of it leads to insanity.

Roland G. Usher, appointed warden of the Massachusetts State prison, is good Butler man, and is also the man whom the convicts in the prison have for g month past expected to succeed Warden Earle.

The taxation case just decided by the New York Supreme court is of more than ordina- ry interest and important. The city of New York brought the suit against the State to restrain the collection of $s1e, 1000 imposed through an increase of valuation by the equalizing board, and also to recover $2.- BOG, ,OOo State taxes assessed upon personal property in the city in past years, which the city had paid over but had been unable to collect of the individuals The authority of the equalizing board was questioned by the first claim, while under the other an attempt was made to establish the principle that in collecting general taxes municipalities were merely agents of the State, and bound to pay over only what they received. In both mat ters, however, the decision is against the city.

State taxation is being earnestly discussed in West Virginia, and a commission will probably be appointed by the governor to look into the matter. The report accom- panying bill authorizing the governor to take such action declares that the assessme nt laws fall far short Of mee ting the plain re- quirements of the constitution, that taxation is not uniform, and that many items of prop srty which ought to be taxed are not assessed. Wealth has increased with the population, but taxable values have not increased in pro- portion to the population. The assessed value of personal property for 1871 was nearly forty one million dollars. while for 1881 it was more than three millions less. This diminution was in the rich counties of Hardy, Jefferson, Kanawha, Ohio and Wood. The increase in agricultural wealth is esti- mated at only ens7third the increase in mining, manufacturing and commercial re- sources but the farmer has had to pay more than his share of the tlxes, and these other interests have been largely spared

 Governor Pattison, of Pennsyvania, is &C., cused of trying to make political capital in g very small way. He will not patronize q bootblack, but does the work himself at the common box beside the janitor's stand in the public reception room in the State House. .sHe requires, ? says the Philadelphia Tunes,
 sno servant to keep his desk tidy or his room in order When he arrives at the office in the morning, about o'clock, he puts his coat and hat away himself and then gets his dust brush, looks around for dust and brushes it away. Being strong-arnned he does not tire of moving heavy loads of books or shifting the furniture of his room. Hurry ing out of his office at 3 o'clock on the way to dinner, he is reminded by Clerk Wolff or the reverend private secretary that his
 coat collar is turned inward, making hump on his neck, or the bottom of one leg of his trousers has caught up above his boot heel.
 What if it is?' answers the Governor, not 8 bit thankful for the information, and has tening of without adjusting his garments.

Takes it Hard.

We clip the following quotation
from the FREEMAN with the mellif-
luous comments thereon from our
Permanent Seat cotemporary.
Mr.. Swami retires from the
Charleston Daily Call and is sue
coed by Mr.. Geo. Byrne, son of State
Senator Byrne, one of the noted Ele-
ven who spurned the prayers of the
people and voted to perpetuate the
evils of the liquor traffic. But we
would not visit the sins of the faith
err upon the son, and will be glad
if Bro. Byrne will make his Gall
(ing) and election IF ever he wants
Office sure by advocating the rights
of the people in his DAILY" con-
rsations.-FREEMAN.
Much obliged to you, Mr.. FREE
MAN; but we want to inform you
that the present editor of the Call
stands on the same platform with
Senator Byrne and knowing that
you are never so happy as when
you have some one to rail against,
we desire to say to you that you
may howl your curses and anath-
emas at our devoted head until you
grow hoarse and your patrons be-
come nauseated.-CharIeston EUen-
ing Call.
Tut-tut, Brother! Don't take
it so to heart. We were disposed
to be even milder with you than the
Scriptures warranted, for it is
written: II the Lord thy God am
jealous God visiting the iniqui-
ties of the father upon the chill
dren," &c.
But Notwithstanding our gra.
cious wishes and disposition in the
premises, it would seem from the
tone and spirit of the above com.
ments, that the Word of the Lore
has been fulfilled in this instance
and the son hasn't even the desire
to escape the iniquity of the father
IT'S a sad case.
