AB0UT DRINRs.-A married lady, who
is blessed with a husband both sober and
dutiful, says to the HERALD briefly, that
she is fanatic on the subject of temper
auce,' and that she abhors Intoxicating
drinks of all kinds. She gently chides the
HERALD for falling into the usage common
to newspapers, Of making jesting refer
ences to habit which she considers an
unmixed evil. When called upon to eX-
plain this mild criticism, she gave the fol-
lowing as embodying her notion Of i'm
proper testing about a serious matter;
When smiling spring with winking feet
Through mead end woodland gaily
dances,
The happy birds with carols sw eet
Salute the-maid as she advances;
Then verdure decks again the vale,
And early flowers are found in punches,
Aud men resort TO beer and ale,
And give up drinking whiskey punches.
The verses show quite an appreciative
sense Of humor on her part, but only a
limited knowledge Of seasonable drinks.
We assure her that wbilo some men I'M
wisely resort to beer as warm weather
drink, ale is universally regarded as cold
weather drink. A bottle of Bass ale, for
instance, goes exceedingly well with oys-
tiers on a cold night. For warm weather,
or as a drink in the middle Of soft YER
nal day, when the blue Italian sky and
the gentle warmth Of the sunshine make
us not too warm but Just warm enough
a palatable and fashionable drink is whisky
punch, which our charming friend would
classify "a a winter drink. II continues a
fashionable drink all summer having no
competitors with connoisseurs save Santa
Cruz rum punch. For ladies claret punch
is a favorite summer beverage, though
there are some who will not decline cham
payne. Her husband, though entirely
sober, can inform her as to the seasons TO
which certain drinks are adapted, for
though he does not fool with them much,.
he is better posted than that hotel-keeper
at Strasburg, who did not know what was
meant by cocktail when asked by a
visitor from Woodstock to furnish him
with one as an 'eye-opensr.'
No such innocence exists in Woodstock
either on the part Of the hotel propretors
and their employees, OF their patrons. in
fact it would be dense ignorance anywhere.
A few days ago, the newspapers announced
that an Indiana boy, only thirteen yeas
old, had died of drinking poor whiskey.
Instantly worldly-minded people and
worldly-mindcd newspapers said that a
boy that old ought to be better judge of
whiskey than to drink too much of il
when it was bad. But the HERALD would
not indulge in such levity over an event
so sad. Besides, it doubts seriously wheth-
er such a thing as good whskey is known
in Indiana. If so the poor boy could get
nothing but bad whiskey, and that would
make a great difference in the facts Of the
case. even If it does not make much differ
ence to the boy.

The lighting editor Of the HERALD
failed to arrive according 10 expectations
based upon his telegram to the Office. lie
is doubtless engaged in active and press
ing professional service somewhere along
the route. We occasionally permit him TO
act for other newspaper offices on friendly
terms with the HERALD, aud are not sur
prised at his delay in reaching Woodstock.
Meantime in his absence, Messrs. Charles
Williams or Harry Hartman can be seen as
temporary substitutes for the lighting
editor by those having business with him
Both are burning with aspirations for pu-
gilistlc distinction, aud enyisus Of the
