ON the Eve Of n Great Crisis.
LONDON. Jan. 27.-Herbert Gladstone
IN addressing meeting at Leeds to-
night said the fact was not to be denied
that England vas on the eve of a grea,
crisis. Today's politics we're of vital
interest. He had no doubt or miseiy-
inRs IN regard to the franchise bill, the
fate of which would have a great effect
upon the coUposition of political pa
ties. He said he anticipated a renewal
of the crimes act in Ireland, and was OF
the opinion that the adoption of many
of the provisions of that act would
strengthen the laws governing England

| QUEBEc, Jan. IA desperate en-
counter between two suitors for the
hand of widow took place in the
country near Lewis. The parties are all
residents of this city. The men had
seconds and began the fight with pis-
tolls, but finding that method slow
drew knives and hacked each other un.
tai they were parted. One man is in
the hospital With bullet hole through
his hip and several knife thrusts in his
body. The ether received some slight
cuts. The affair, which has lust come
to light, will be the subjest of maeiste-
rial inquiry. The names were not
learned tonight.

Romance writer's can get material
for a novel from the life Of Sallie
Ketner, who lived the life of her
NIT for 4S years in the mountains OF
Eastern Pennsylvania, and was kill.
ed the other day by the falling in OF
her hut, aged "a. She was once a
fine, promising girl. Her lover was
a sailor and promised to return in
five years and marry her. He never
returned, having been impressed
into the service OF another country.
He died in French prison sixty
years ago, but she Kept his memory
ever green, would never have any
thing to do with men and in her
bosom when dead was found the
last letter from her lover, faded with
age, written just before he died. She
abhorred men, never spoke to them,
if she could help it, and lived in the
society Of her cats and dogs, of which
she had nineteen of the former and
twelve of the latter. Her rude life
had made her healthy and strong
and when she died she was as well
preserved as q woman of fifty.

CURE FOR DRUNKENNESS.

There is a famous prescription In
use in England for the cure of drunk
enness, by which thousands are said
to have been assisted in recovering
themselves. The prescription came
into notoriety through the efforts OF
John Vine Hall, commander of the
Great Eastern steamship. He had
fallen into such habitual drunken
ness that his most earnest efforts to
reclaim himself proved unavailing.
At length he sought the advice Of
an eminent physician, who gave him
"A prescription which he followed
faithfully for seven months. At the
end Of that time, he had lost all de-
sire for liquor, although he had been,
for many times, led captive by a
most debasing appetite. The pre-
scrlption, which he afterwards pub
lished, and by which so many drunk.
ards have been assisted to reform,
is as follows:
Sulphate of iron, five grains; mag
nesia, ten grains; peppermint water,
eleven drachms; spirit of nutmeg,
one drachm, twice day. This pre-
paration acts as a tonic and stimu.
liant, and SO partially supplies the
place of the accustomed liquor, and
prevents that absolute physical and
moral prostration that follows a sud-
den breaking off from the use of
stimulating drinks.

Congress and the Legislatures now

Congress and the Legislatures now
in session will not be remembered
long for the good they are doing
for the wisdom of the laws they are
making. They seem to have com.
mon purpose, contrary to that for
which the people sent their repre-
sentatives, and that is to help them
selves and their friends, without
much bother about the wants of the
people or the needs of the country.
The tendency is to create bureaus,
departments, commissions and posi-
tions, appropriations and taxations,
by which the few are enriched and
the masses impoverished. Take
this State as a glorious example
OF such work. The State would
have been far better offhad the Leg
islature not met; then there would
have been hope for the taxpayers,
and encouragement left for enter
prise, so there is nothing. Another
blasting tendency in legislative bod
les is towards Capitalization of pow
er and influence. Schemes backed
by money and influence, never fail
to pass. Anything less has no show.
just like railroads and corporations !;
they can do what they please with
anything less powerful than them
selves. Let railroad kill or injure
those able to invoke all the powers
OF law, and it pays well for it. Crush
the helpless though with the coolest
indifference,-dump them by the
wayside or shove them on the near
est county, and like it or not who
may. Expect the trampled and out
ragged to be always submissive The
masses of the people in this country
should rule it, but they do not. The
fault may be theirs,-so is the RENE
dy-the ballot-beginning to be a
veritable mockery offranchise. Alter

POETRY.
A BIT OF EXPERIENCE.

i have met with a great many people
In jogging O. er life's varied ways
/ I've encountered the clever, the simple
The Grabbed, the grave and the gay
/ have travelled with beauty, with virtue
have been with the ugly, the bad,
| have laughed with the ones who were
merry
And wept with the ones who were sad.
One thing have learned in nv journey
/ Meier to Judge one by what he appears
The eyes that seem sparkling with laugh
/ ter
Oft battle to keep back the tears.
And long. sanctimonlous faces
! Hide often the souls that are vile,
While the heart that is merry and cheer
full
Is often the freest from guile.
And I've learned not to look for perfec-
ton
In one of our frail humankind,
In hearts the most gentle and loving
Some blemish or fault we can find,
But yet have meier found the creature
So low, SO depraved or so mean,
But had some good impulse some virtue
That 'mong his bad traits might be
seen.
And, too, l have learned that most friend
ships
We make are as brittle as glass.
just let reverse overtake us
Our friends" ON the other side''
pass,
But, ah, have found some few loyal
Some hearts ever loving and truel
And the joy and the peace they have
brought me
Have cheered my whole journey
through.

In the late war. Although it il now
twenty years since the close Of the
rebellion it is estimated that fully a
million of the veterans still survive.
There are some six thousand Posts
Of the Grand Army OF the Republic.
