As the smoke of battle clears away
We discern the new positions OF. the

Of politician generals - we'll. A gen.
tleman from Ohio says that il is now
probable that the Democratic party will
submit prohibitory amendment 10 The
people of that state, in revenge upon
the German voters who deserted the
party during the presidential contest /;
while in Dew York state, 10 is said that
at the 6ual meeting of the Republican
State Committee. il was agreed that
the Republican Legislature elest should
be asked 10 propose . prohibitory
amendment to the constitution, and
that the lsgislatsrs of 1885, II Republi-
can. should be asked to again submit
the same, and in the fall Of 1886 the
Republican party should support the
adoption Of the amendment by the pso-
pie.
This, If true,is all that prohibitionistl
have asked, or could ask in the Mattsl
Of present action. It confirms theil
belief, also, that wherever the larges
separate prohibition vote is cast, ther'
they may look for the largest conces
sious from the dominant party.

A CURE FOR DRUNKENNESS is
a prescription in use in England for the cure
of drunkenness by which thousands are said
to have been enabled to recover themselves.
The recipe came into nOtoriety by the eft.
forts of Mr.. John Vine Hall, commander OF
the Great Eastern steamship. He had fall
en- into such habitual drunkenness that his
most earnest efforts to reclaim himself
proved unavailing. At last he sought the
advice of an eminent physician, which ne
followed faithfully for several months, and
at the end of that time he had lost all desire
for liquor, although he had been for many
years led captive by a most debasiIng appee-
petite. The recipe, which he afterwards
drunkards have been assisted to reform, is
as follows: Sulphate of iron, 20 grains;
magnesa, 40 grains; peppermint, A drains.
spirits of nutmeg, drains. Dose, one ta-

ANCIENT TIOLINS,

A collection of old and celebrated violins
is an exhibit in the Bartholdi show. TO a
casual observer they look ordinary and un-
interesting. There are nine of them, and
they are in a glass case that bears no label
calculated to arouse enthusiasm. Ninety
nine visitors in hundred pass them by
contemptuously. "And they deserve it,
said bystander when this disregard Of the
treasures was commented on. '"There is
no greater nonsense in the whole range of
ancient vi0lins. The very men who go
into raptures over an old specimen can't
tell why or how it differs from the work
manship of the present day in the same
line"
"Ah /! but think of the associations" urg-
ed an enthusiast, DIR. S. B. Tuthill, of Brook
lvn. Look at this Amati-a genuine spec
linen, with an authenticated history. 1t il:
more than 200 years old. Cardinal Ottibeni
played it along about 100. From the pomp
of Catholic ceremonial music making, 1t
was transported to the court of England,
where Handel himself accompanied its solos
with a harpsichord. George III drew bow
across it at the end Of its first century.
those of a royal profigate. Afterward, it
became the property of Ole Bull, who used
it great deal in his concerts, and left it to
his widow"
All this was poOh-poOhed. Even DIR.
Tuthill's own exhibit, another Amati, COM
manded no respect, though politeness pro-
tected it from ridicule. Three countrymen
came along. Two only gave glance at the
violins, but the third stopped at them. His
remarks disclosed him as fiddler; but he,
too, was devoid Of appreciation. He guess
ed he'd put his own fiddle into glass box
when he got home, and charge 30 cents to
look at it. The doctor was nettled.
ale is Philistine, like the rest Of you,"
he said, "but I'll let him be a judge Wheth-
er or not there is any extra merit in my
Amati. He shall play it, and decide the
question without influence"
1t was morning hour, and the Academy
of Design, in which the exhibition is held,
had only score or SO of inmates. The doc
tor removed his violin from the case. 1t is
in almost constant use, and needed only a
few scrapes and screW-turns to be ready for
trial.
81 believe you play, my friend?" he said
to the countryman.
"Oh l fiddle little at home," was the
difiident reply.
A little urging, however, and he took up
the valuable fiddle and its comparatively
worthless bow. You can readily guess what
he played "Money Musk" of course and
with that peculiar, rythmlc swing tnat SetS
ones foot to shuttling almost uncontrollably
to the figures of an imaginary reel, no mat
ter what may be the critical opinion of the
execution. There was no denying it. The
rich, full, sweet tone was better that the av-
erage of the sounds given out by violins.
"Well, what do you think of that?" the
doctor asked.
"That's the best fiddle I ever drawed a
bow across" was the reply; "what's the
price of it?''
Give thousand dollars"
The precious instrument was for mo-
ment in peril, for the fiddler seemed about
to drop it in surprise.-N. Y. Letter IN CHI
cugo Herald.
