BLAINEs letter of acceptance boxes
the compass and takes fling at the
whole Universe. He sis all things"
in it, "to all men," and all men who
have the patience to wade through
its ponderous platitudes are capable
of making full and due allowance for
the misery Of man who differs from
Henry Clay in asmuoh as he would
rather be President than ''right," any
time. Ever since the nomination
Blaine has been assiduoualy employed
at the Augean labor Of picking out
the India ink that so terribly tattoos
him to the sight of all fair minded
men, but he has made no headway
and will have no better luck with The
white wash and sand paper of his let
ter of acceptance.

a committee, of which NJ. de lie,
sep, was chairman, waa appointed .'l
the French Academy to Investigate
the claims of Claude, Marquis de
Joufroy, of having been the inventor
of steamboats,, The conclusion ar
rived at was. that while Papin, accord
ng to the French tradition, conceived
the idea OF applying steam as a mo-
tive power to navigation the practical
application Of that .dea was first re-
lied 10y the Marquis de Joutloy. In
1850, it is alleged he built boat l+o
feet long,which steamed up the River
Saone at the rate of two leagues an
hour. This was called "a pyroscaPh, a
term which still still survives in the
Italian language.

B,aine.s Letter of Acceptance

The New York Evening Pos, here
toforo strong Republican paper, but
now supporting Cleveland, has this
to say of Blaine's letter of acceptance
and the tatood mans back down from
the aggressive position he promised
to assume.
Mr.. Blaine's letter illustrates re-
markably the truth of the saying t,.' teat
ga council of wal never fights" The
letter is undoubtedly the joint com
position of the candidates himself,
Messrs. Whitelaw Reid, William
Walter Phelps, q. E. Smith and Steve
Elkins, The result Is that there Is
nothing "aggressive" in it whatever.
Il does not contain trace OF the
policy Of excepting the enemy on the
run from the start" which we were
told he had adopted. Nobody but a
very quarrelsome OF unprinciPied
man would deny with heat anything
it contains and no animated being
except deer, Or hare, or horse could
fly from it. Steve Eltins probably
thinks great deal of it very Molly
coddleish, but Mr. Smith, the com
manding mind of the Philadelphia
Press, doubtless chuckles over Its
length, which to him is the highest
mark of excellence in any product O
the human understanding.

Temperance Legislation in the South.

The intelligent and wealthy State, Of
the North can learn a great deal by
studying the methods that have been
followed in some of the old Confederate
States in dealing with the Temperance
problem. In several of them strong
Tax laws and License laws have been
the liquor traffic has thus been placed
under the regulation of the police. The
last session Of the Mississippi Legisla-
ture took up the subject of dealing with
habitual drunkards, and, with scarcely
any debate. enated 4 very wise law. 1t
empowers The chan cellors of courts to
decide who are drunkards, to have them
arrested with or without complaint
from relatives or friends, to appoint
guardians for their estates. or to order
them into confinement in an asylum. or
reformatOry in or out of the State. The
action of the chancellors is almost dis
c~retionary, but will, it is calculated. de-
pend largely upon the wishes of the
relatives and friends of the drunkard.
If any one informs the chancellor that a
man is abusing or neglecting his family,
is wasting his fortune or running him.
self and his business through drinking,
such individual at once becomes a sub
ject of judicial attention and steps may
be taken to secure his reform before he
is too far gone.
This law makes drunkenness = crime,
as it should be. Before it has been in
operation long its tendency will be to
make drunkenness an indie lible stain
upon a mans character. His arrest
will be a disgrace which he can only
outlive by years of strict sobriety and
good conduct. and it will not be long
before every one in the State will seek
to avoid such disgrace. Cleveland
