THE Philadelphia Times, an inde-
pend and outspoko journal, has Open
ed its batteries on Major Smith, of
that city, and with such a man to fire
the guns as Col. A. X. Mcclure, he
will make it hot for the Mayor. That
Mayor Smith is an inscriptions poll
tician, and has used his official power
to promote his selfish ambition, there
is no doubt, but there are plenty more
equally as bad as Mayor Smith, and
we do not have to go out of our own
State to find them.
Politicians of the present day are
becoming more corrupt than ever,
and many of them, Peter like, would
deny their Saviour, If it would pro-
mote their selfish ends. There are
few of them that do not use their Off
cial position as political lever to
prize them back again into their pres
ent places; and whenever they can do
so, bargain and sell the official patron
age of their Office for pelf. They seem
to forget, that they are the trusted
servants of the people, who will hold
them to account for their action. The
press should be the faithful sentinels
on the watch.tower--ever ready to
give the alarm and true inwardness
Of wrong doing, and any journal that
fails in this respect, is either subsi-
died by the Office holders or recreant
to its duty. Every public Office be-
ing an Office Of trust, should be con.
Quoted on purely business principles;
and any public Office that is not so
conducted is used for selfish purpos-
es.

A Boys Decision About Drink.

Many years ago Mr.. Hall, an English
gentleman, visited Ireland for the pur-
pose of taking sketches of its most
beautiful scenery, to be used in an
illustrated work on Ireland, which has
since been published. On one occa-
sion, when about to spend day in the
neighborhood of Lake Killarney, he
met a bright young Irish lad, who
offered his services as guide through
the district. A bargain was made with
him, and the party went off. The lad
proved himself well acquainted with all
the places of interest in that neighbor-
hood, and had plenty of stories to tell
about them. He did his work well,
and to the entire satisfaction of the
visitors. On their return to the start
ing-point, after day of great enjoy
ment, Mr.. Hall took flask of whiskey
from his pocket and drank some. Then
he handed it to the boy and asked him
to help himself. To his great surprise,
the offer was firmly but politely de-
clined. Mr.. Hall thought this was very
strange. To find an Irish boy who
would not touch or taste whiskey was
stranger to him than anything he had
seen that day. He could not under
stand it; and he resolved to try the
strength of the boys temperance prin-
ciples. He offered first shilling, then
half crown, and then five shillings if
he would taste that whiskey. But the
boy was firm. A real manly heart was
beating under his ragged jacket. Mr..
Hall determined to try him further, so
he offered the boy golden half-sov-
ereign if he would take a drink of
whiskey. That was coin seldom seen
by lads of this class in those parts.
Strengthening himself up, with a look
of indignation in his face, the boy pulled
out temperance medal from the inner
pocket of his jacket, and holding it
bravely up, he said: "This was my
fathers medal. For years he was in
temperate. All his wages were spent
in drink. 1t almost broke my mothers
heart; and what hard time she had to
keep the poor childer from starving!
But at last my father took a stand. He
signed the pledge and wore this medal
as long as he lived On his death-bed
he gave it to me. promised him that l
never would drink Intoxicating liquors
and now, sir, for all the money your
honor may be worth, hundred times
over, | would not break that promise. {"
That boys decision about drink was
noble. Yes; and it did do good, too
AS Mr.. Hall stood there astonished, he
screwed the top on to his flask and
flung it out into the water of the lake
near which they stood. Then he turned
to the lad and shook him warmly by
the hand, saying, as he did so: d" My
boy, that's the best temperance lecture
| ever heard. thank you for it. And
now, by the help of God, l will never
drink another drop of Intoxicating
liquor while / live. "-Selected.

Worse than Opium.

If the story told in the San Francisco
CAL is to be believed, the Malays are
victims of a narcotic of fearful power
and deadliness, two years being usually
enough to kill the healthiest man who
becomes addicted to it's use. 1t is the
gagus plant, grown on Gauptil Island:
" In the interior this plant grows wild,
flOurishing especially in the rocky soil.
1t looks beautiful when growing, as you
might judge by the bright hues with
which it is spotted. The main stalk
is covered with sharp nettle-like protu-
berances, and prick from one of them
will cause more pain than handful of
red pepper thrown in your eyes. When
young the plant consists of but one
stalk, which shoots up straight to
height of four or five feet. II is brilliant
scarlet in hue. Toward winter a num-
Der of offshoots spring out. until the
thing looks like broom stood upright.
Green and purple specks then appear
all over it. A grove of gagus shrubs is
a very pretty sight. But it is the prop
critics of the plant which distinguish it.
Opium is potent drug, but will back
the extract from the gagus stalk to eff
feet more damage on the human system
than all the opium in the world. The
natives cut the plant in the early
spring. After they have gathered a
sufficient quantity they put it in large
bowls and crush it with huge stones. A
grayish sap runs out freely, and this
they collect and drink, after letting it
ferment, which it does easily One
drink of a pint is enough for an ordi-
nary man, but | have seen natives
drink more. Within half an hour after
imbibing it the drinker becomes per-
fectly stupid, and lies around like log.
The spell lasts day or more, during
which time the natives say they live in
paradise. Do white men drink it?'
Il have known sailors to try it, but
they never tackled it twice. Three
years ago l had man in my crew who
was driven crazy by one drink What
effect does it have upon the natives?'
well, that is where the gagus displays
itself. If you could see some of the
terrible examples of gagus-drinking in
Gauptil you would be Mortified. The
first effect of the liquor is to soften the
bones and gradually eat them away.
There are natives there, the victims of
gagus, who are indeed homeless, and
unable to walk or use their limbs. They
then begin to wither away, and finally
die in misery and commissions "
