THE Legislature of Tennessee has passed a
law to prevent the sale of intoxicating
liquors to minors without the written con-
sent of their parents or guardians, or TO hus-
bands who are habitual drunkards unless
with the consent of their wives. The prac-
tice of requiring a doctors certificate has
been in vogue in States which have passed
prohibitory laws, but it does not appear to
have been specially effective.

to the final adjournment of the General As
sembly.' Yet, this appropriation bill, you
say, was passed within forty minutes of the
adjournment of the Legislature. Now,
could you have demanded the Governor to
accept that bill and sign it? Whether this
clause of the constitution was given to guard
the rights of the Governor, or that no bill
should be hastily passed and signed by the
executive without proper consideration, he
had the right to refuse to accept it, and the
the Lieutenant-governor signed it, would
have been the rejection of the bill by the
Governor instead of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The wrong, therefore, committed by the
Acknowledgements does not make the acts
of the majority of the late Legislature in
this case right, and to be just we cannot APP
matter"

pastors should not therefore, destroy the choirs.
They should look upon this musical institution in
the light of a oromO which is given away with a
pound Of tea. Sometimes the purchaser buys
the tea to get the chrome, but when he drinks
the tea finds he has made bad investment
Similarly. when sinner goes to church and sits
through a sermon in order to hear the music, he
is apt to learn why the chrome was offered. p
S.-The above analogy failed to work out as ex-
pected, but the idea is there for anyone who has

A ST. LOUIS dispatch stated that if the
murderers of old Mrs. General Doris had
been put upon trial the defense would have
been hereditary alcoholism" And law
yers would have been found to make that
plea for the purpose of defeating justice
One of the murderers was Pat McGlew, of
this city. 1t was inherent and cultivated
moral depravity that led to the crime.

THE New York Tribune rises to remark

"If the Irish leaders really are opposed to as
sassination and dynamite arguments why do
they always neglect every opportunity to de-
nounce them? The call for the convention
OF Irish societies to meet at Philadelphia in
April has just been published. While it is
full of denuuciaton and abuse of England,
there is not word of censure for the muir
derers whose crimes have shocked the civil
lied world and turned aside from Ireland
much sympathy that is really her due"

THE HORSE QUADRILLE.

AS an organ of fashion and society the
Journal devoted considerable space to the
Vanderbilt ball. Before the giddy dancers
were yet asleep upon their downy pillows
the telegraph had conveyed columns of in
formation, the fashion editor had reviewed
it to see that all was correct in the arrange
ment of stockings jabots, tournures etc.,
which are sometimes mixed in a hasty
trip by wires; printers and proof-readers
had struggled with it, presses had
turned their restless rollers, and by
dawn the thrilling news was ready for
our readers. All over Indiana and in large
sections of other States subscribers waited
eagerly for the papers That they were
pleased, not to say delighted, with the de-
tails of the costumes and the descriptions of
fair women and brave men need not be said,
lfthere is anything the average Hoosier or
Sucker revels in more than another it is a
balls. The costumes at the Vanderbilt affair
may differ somewhat from those which pre-
vail hereabouts on similar occasions
but the Western mind is receptive,
and the women may be expected to
gather ideas from the New York party which
will be useful in making over their own
clothes. So far as heard from the general
verdict of the Journals constituents is that
the ball was a success. The dresses were
pretty, the diamonds quite magnificent, the
wearers neither so fair nor magnificent, but
passable, and altogether the affair was credit
able. One feature, however, offends the
general reader. The costumes may be all
right and it does not appear that the guests
| danced the can-can, but what is the hobby
size, and with real names and tails, but so
light that they could be tied to the waists of
the wearers. Out in this country people do
not tie hobby or other horses to their waists,
but get astride and ride them hard. There is
something mysterious about this matter and
the suspicious reader is only half relieved
by the assurance that the legs of the wearers
were covered by the hangngs OF the horses,
false legs being painted on the outside of the
blankets Whether the New York leg looks
better in painting than in real life whether
the live legs were needed for the purposes of
locomotion, and whether male and female
partner acted as the four legs of each horse,
or whether the whole quadrille was run by
steam or electricity, is yet unexplained. The
Journals representative overlooked or neg
lected an explanation OF this important mat
ter, and of course only an eyewitness can
give the exact truth. 1t is question which
ought to be settled, and if Mrs. Vanderbilt
wishes to keep her social status in the West
ern country she can do no better than to
make tour of the region with her company
and give the horse quadrille in public. She
might also find the tour profitable in finan-
cial point of view, if money is any object to
her. The show would be sure to draw, and
as her railroad expenses would be nothing,
she could undoubtedly realize enough to pay
for her recent entertainment
