THE ORIGIN OF SCANDAL.

Said Mrs. A.
To Mrs. j.,
In quite confidential way,
1t seems to me
That Mrs. B.
Takes too understanding in her tea. u
And Mrs. j.
To Mrs. X.
That light was overheard to say,
She grieved to touch
Upon it much,
But "Mrs. B. tOok-such and such.n
Then Mrs. c.
Went straight away
And told o friend, the self same day,
Twas sad to think
Here came wink
"That Mrs. b. was fond of drink"
The friends disgust
Was such she must
Inform lady (Which she nussed,"
THAT Mrs. B.,
At half-past three,
Was that far gone she couldn't see."
This lady we
Have mentioned, she
Gave needle-work to Mrs. B.,
And at such news
Could scarcely choose
But further needle-work refuse,
Then Mrs. B.,
As you'll agree,
Quite properly-she said, said she,
That she would track
The scandal back
To those who made her look 30 black,
Through Mrs. X.
And Mrs. j.
She got at last to Mrs. A.,
And asked her why,
With cruel lie,
She painted her 90 deep dye;
Said Mrs. A.
In some dismay,
~ no such thing could ever say.

On too much sugar-which You do"

TEMPERANCE.

The temperance wave which has
swept over the country in the last
few years, particularly in the West
and Northwest, while it may not
have won any decided political vic
tories, has had an extraordinary ef-
feet on the consumption Of whisky.
Six years ago the people of the Uni.
ted States drank five gallons Of
whiskey per capita; to-day they do
not drink over two. In the last
sixty years the production of spirits
has not grown as rapidly as the
population; the use Of alcohol in
the arts has increased enormously,
and the consumption per adult for
drinking purposes is probably much
less than half what it was two gen.
erations ago. With three times the
population when this contry had in
1ss4o, We actually drink no more
whisky. As compared with 1907
the showing is equally favorable,
for though the population has in
creased, the production and con-
sumption Of liquor have not, proved
that much good has been done in
the past kecade.
A temperance leader attributes
this result to two equal causes, the
temperance agitation and the prog
ress of beer-drinking. What ever
its cause, however, incalculable
misery has been saved by the
change. 1t is to the credit of the
American people that they should
have so peacefully and quietly &C
complished this great moral change
"a parallel for which may be
sought in vain the world over.

K0THER:1N.LAW.
BOB BTRDETTE EXPLAINS WHY SHE
Is sLANDERED.

She meetheth her son-in-law at
the door when the new clock tolleth
fourteen, and he essayeth to let
himself into the hall by unlocking
the front gate with his watch key.
And for this, oft times, he feareth
her. She knoweth his ways and
his tricks are not new unto her.
She is up to all his excuses, and
when he sayeth he was detained
down at the bank until the next
morning; or that the last car had
gone, and he had to walk; or that
he was sitting up with a sick friend;
or that he was looking for his col
lar button I; or that he was drawn on
the jury; or that he had joined the
astronomy class; or that his books
wouldn't balance then doth she
get unto him with both feet, for she
sayeth within herself-"All these
things hath his father-in-law raid
unto me for these many years. lo,
this is also vanity and vexation of
spirit" And for this he feareth her
yet more and more.
Why, what this country needs, to
keep it from going to the bow
vows, is a few more mothers-in.law
of the good, old-fashioned school, to
stand between young housekeepers
and a greedy world. A home with
out q mother in-law is q home with

BERLIN, Feb. 25.-The Vossische Gazette de
clares it unwise to reprint the comments of the
American press on the Lasker incident, for fear
The editor would be imprisoned.
Minister Sargent's dignifed course in ignor-
ing the attacks of the German press is much ap-
proved.
The Deutsche Tageblatt refers to the alleged
advice given by Secretary Frelinghuysen to the
House of Representatives that henceforth mat
ters like the Lasker resolutions should be re-
ferred to the committee on foreign affairs, and
asks; "Will not the secessionists and Minister
Sargent protest against such a course2"
A Berlin correspondent, in a communication
to the London Standard, says the independent
papers are bitterly complaining of the dishonor-
abe semi-official attacks upon Minister Sargent,
who has never been popular in official circles
here. The inspired press pretends that he is I'M
popular because merely a politician and not a
scholar, like his predecessors. The real reason.
however, is that Sargent doesn't regard his DO
sition as a sinecure, but theoretically fulflls the
political duties, which fact often occasions
difficulties.

PERSONAL Appearance.
New York Tribune Note Book.
saw our Uncle Joseph Mcdonald in the
United States Senate about a week ago. He is
a big man. tOlerably big all over, with a some
what waddling walk, and he occasionally uses a
stick to help himself along, though there is not
much evidence of decay about him. He has a
large, bald head, with an abattis of thin hair,
making two parallel lines over the ears. His
features are pretty good, but they are inhabited
by a sort of wondering and simple good nature,
which substitutes for the magisterial appearance
the ideal of a good country landlord, something
like Joe Wiliett, at the May-pole Inn. The smile
comes as naturally to that eye as the corn
dodger would come to that mouth, for you can
see appetite lurking all around the visage, as
if every sense he had was necessary to the organ
of taste.
Now and then there s a little flash in the eye,
or deeper light, as if thought was not far behind
that rubicund exterior. Something of the old
cunning of the Indian fighter modified by a life
time of peace pervades the face. He began life
a saddler, and would notsell out the Renaissance
now for 800, 900, for he expects that if he can
get the nomination for President there will be a
hundred. miles of saddlers in procession from
different parts of the country, all beating on the
saddle leather. Thus tenderly do old trades
come up in the mind and supplant these later
professions, which now are overpacked, and
mems minds return to mechanics as the happier
estate. Mcdonald is admitted to be an excellent
lawyer, hardly second to Hendricks. Mr.. Gresh-
am chose him to be his partner about the time
Gresham was called to the cabinet.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The official papers
from Bismarck returning the Lasker reso-
buttons are expected to reach the State
Department on Wednesday. They will
probably be sent to the House this week. 1t
has been arranged that the Speaker shall, upon
their receipt, recognize Congressman Ochiltree,
who introduced the resolution. Mr.. Ochiltree
has prepared a speech in which he handles Bis
marck without gloves. Those who have seen
the speech say it will be strong and logical.
MIR. Ochiltree is reticent upon the subject. He
said to-day that he has thus far avoided all allu-
sion to the subject, as he deems it inadvisable to
go into a discussion of so grave a question until
the resolution shall have been returned to the
House.

h President FIirts with a Bride.

From Washington Letter.
At the last reception at the White House,
among those present was a beautiful young
married lady, whose display of magnificent
shoulders and bust left little to be desired.
In the very heart of her corsage rested a
splendid Jacqueminot rose. During the
evening the President sought her side and
engaged for a few minutes in an animated
conversation. At its close she looked at the
handsome Marechal Neil in the Presidents
lapel, touching it with her fan. 1 do not
know what was said, of course, but the
Presidents eyes sought the Jacqueminot in
its beautiful resting place, while the Presi-
dent removed his flower from his coat. Then
there was an exchange. The fair one slipped
the Marechal Neil into the vacant place with
a pretty blush, and the President touched
her rose to his lips before placing it in his
lapel. And all the observers smiled.

Gresham and Logan.

Postmaster general Gresham rode out with
General Grant this afternoon. Emory Storrs
said tonight: "You may quote me as say
ing that Gresham told me this afternoon
that Logan can carry Ohio; that he
as any other man, and is probably
stronger in Indiana than any other Republi-
can, and that it is absurd that there should
be any opposition to him in Illinois. Gresham
said he had advised Arthur's friends to this
effect"
When Mr.. Gresham was asked tonight
about this conversation, he replied: ''What
I said to Storrs was intended only for him
self. He ought not to report a private con

But that he was strong there for obvious rea-

There is no doubt about the sincerity of many
Prohibitionists, but they lose the support of
thousands who would render effective service in
temperance work, by their extreme and unrea-
sonable views, their dogmatism and abuse of
those who do not think as they do. If the drink
ing evil is to be abated, the abating measures
must be based on the practicable not the ideal.

In the latter country, or the South, a free bal
lot is a farce and free-school systems compare
lively a blank. The majority of the citizens of
that country fought to dissolve the Union and
to establish a confederacy. In most respects
the country is at least twenty years behind the
North. Let the impartial citizen answer in
whose hands the government is the safest. Is it
the progressive, free, enlightened and loyal
North, or in the slave aristocracy. uneducated,
disloyal Southl 1t seems to US that a blind man
can answer.
