We as American people, living
III a free country, governed by
wholesome laws, tilling land that
produces abundant income; we
who are permitted to serve God
according to the dictates of our own
conscience, having the Bible as a
"guide to our feet and light to
our path way" surely we ought to
be a happy people. And yet, some
are not happy. Many of our fellow
men are enslaved They are sub
jects of tyrant who leads them
captive at his will. This tyrant
has swayed the scepter of power to
such an extent that he has capti-
waited many of our good and yalu-
able men. He has deceived hui
mainly, has changed innocence
into guilt, virtue to debauchery
and crime. He has entered paren-
tai homes and taken from their
peaceful abode their tender off
spring and dragged them down to
degradation and shame. He robs
the poor and advocates the. cause
of sin and iniquity. He seduces
Che sons of men and brings their
gray-haired fathers down with
sorrow to the grave. He visits
many with disease and poverty,
and makes their homes dreary and
desolate
Is it not full time for us to wage
war against this kind of evils?
Shall we not arm ourselves with
the sword of prob ibition and march
and continue to march in one solid
phalanx Of brave men to the polls,
where victory may be obtained,
that we, as a nation, may yet be
free and happy people.

WEST VIRGINIA FREEMAN.
CORRESPONDENCE.
A Public Nuisance.

ED. FREEMAN: Allow me to call
attention to a public nuisance In
our city, that should be abated. |
refer to smoking in the corridor of
the Postoffice. Many persons have
been greatly annoyed for two or
three years. Only last week we
met one evening nearly one hun
dred persons in the corridor, wait
ing for their mail matter. The
mail had arrived late and the num-
Der of persons waiting that eve
ming was unusually large. We
gave special attention to the num-
Der of persons smoking, which we
found to be fully twenty-five, or
about one-fourth of the whole num-
Der. About one fourth of the num-
Der of persons present were ladies.
Boys, white and colored, and men
with pipes, cigars and cigarettes,
We're constantly smoking, until the
corridor was so filled with the smoke
and unpleasant odors, that num-
Der of persons were compelled to
leave the corridor and stand on the
outside of the building, exposed to
the cold and storm, while the COM
Portable building was occupied by
those who smoked and others that
seemed able to endure the smoke
and fumes, so offensive to others.
While about twenty-five persons in
dulged in what they called a lux
ury, about seventy-fve persons
were compelled to inhale the i'm
pure and poisonous odors of the
pipe and cigar, and be smoked un-
der protest.
If men want to smoke it is their
privilege to do so, but is it not al
together reasonable to ask them to
smoke in their own homes or
places Of business, or in the open
air, and not in public places,
where they SO much annoy ladies
and men who do not indulge in
this unfortunate habit?
If any person can get any good
from this habit, we shall not object,
but we do most seriously ana posi-
lively object to being smoked, and
smoked out of public places where
we have equal rights with other
persons.
Our object in calling attention to
this subject is to secure an abate-
mcnt Of this nuisance and to pro-
tect ladies and other persons, who
are free from this habit, from the
great annoyance of being smoked
and sometimes almost suffocated,
while waiting or calling for their
mail.
The French lady made good re-
ply when asked by Frenchman :
as it offensive to you for gentle
man to smoke in your presence ?"
The reply was: Il do not know no
gentlemen ever smoked in my pres,
ence. A CITIZEN.

Dress ReEOrm.

Burlington AuWNtVe'
A Boston genius his inaugurated another
dress reform. He proposes to amputate
the-the-the shirt; in fact, that is-iFs
kind OF delicate subject to discuss in the
columns Of family paper, but what this
dress reiormer wants 10 do, and in his own
case actually has done, is to amputate the
us we said before, right about amidships;
cut of all the portion OF the amendment,
to speak in parliamentary phrase, coming
after, that is below, the word tag,
or, more correctly, the tag itself, that
fastens the shirt front down to the waist
band. He thus dispenses entirely with the
-he-he would dispense with it, you see,
and have merely the shirt waist, as worn
by little boys, without the-that is, without
any. 1t does appear to be waist Goke)
OF raw material, but whether the saving
would compensate for the breviIy Of the
raiment thus entailed (another joke re-
mains to be seen. Or, rather, it should not
be seen-most certainly not-not in good
society, anyhow, but the fact is-however,
any one can see-or no, the TACT you can

The two parted to carry out the pro-
