We're. to 1oeestrong.s Wameneare not so
characterized. say ideal virtue, be
cause, While it may exist and ought to
exist in every boy and every man, ]
know it does not exist in every man:
that it is not the actual attainment, the
real possession, but an ideal one, real
lied in it's perfection only in those few
foremost men who are the patterns for
all others.
Now, just what did st. John, and just
what do we mean by making your
strength your responsibility, and the
reason for writing to you especially I?
What kind Of strength is your peculiar
and ideal virtue?
Is it physical strength? II so, then
the Cornell or Harvard student who
can run the longest and farthest, tho
he fail in all his examinations and
stands at the foot in his classes, is
stronger than the man who takes the
valedictory, and not so strong as the
wild Indian who can row farther, and
run faster, and fast longer. You know
men and boys, as l do, who have cordy
muscles andcan lift enormous weights;
great big fellows it does one good to
see, yet who are not strong enough to
be laughed at; who in the company Of
liquor-men are not strong enough to
utter one word in defence of temper
ance. Fancy st. John writing to such
men because,they are strong! No, the
strength he meant and we mean is not
only physical strength.
Is it intellectual strength? Youand
know men who are "smart"-smart
enough to raise a great coarse laugh at
the man or woman who attacks their
terrible traffic. Col. Ingersol is a strong
man because he is smart. Without a
great intellect or superior education,
but yet with a kind of cleverness of
head, he is strong enough to attack the
Christianity WI love and believe, and
to try to undermine the faith of many
who cling to it as their only comfort in
life and security in death. Lord Bacon
had, perhaps, the finest intellect eve1
let into the world, yet he was not saved
by his supreme intellectual strength
from taking brides in his law cases, and
is lmmortaliZed in the lines of q great
poet as "the greatest and meanest of
mankind" All over the country we
can find men, not quite so great intel
%lectually, but quite as mean, who will
win case after case for liquor men for
the brides that are paid them. Fancy
st. John writing to such men "because
they are strong !"
Very clearly the strenth which he at
tributes to young men as their special,
ideal virtue is not one Of muscle or Of
brains. We all know what it is. 1t is
moral strength. II is that pluck and
principle which will defy the threats
Of the bullies and the wit of The smart
les in defence Of the right. 1t is be
cause you, boys, can be thus strong, and
ought to be thus strong, that so many
eyes. some of them dim with age, some
dim with tears, ;tre turned to you and
are watching your young manhood as
the hope OF the nation and the world
against this awful enemy, alcohol. 1t
is because it's overthrow demands and
and must have your manly strength
that your responsibility is great, and
something for which God viii surely
call you to account.-Youth's Temper
ance Banner.

We Never Drink.

On the stage We're seven or eight sol
diers from Eighth Maine Regiment.
While at the stage house in Lincoln.
there came to the Office a Door blind
man-stone blind, slowly feeling his
way with his cane. He approached the
soldiers and said in the gentlest tone:
"Boys, Ihear you belong to the Eighth
Regiment. l have a son in that regi
ment."
"What is his namew
John -"
ooh yes, we know him well. He was
a sergeant in company. We always
liked him." =
"Where is he now?"
"He is a lieutenant in a colcred regi-
ment, and a prisoner at Charleston
For a moment the old mar 'venturcd

from him for a long time"
They did not wait for another word:
but these soldiers took from their wal

dollars, and offered it to the old man.
saying:
IF our whole company were here,
we would give you a hundred dollars"
The old man said, "Boys, you must
put it in my wallet, for I am blind"
But mark what followed! Another
individual in the room, who had looked
on the scene, as | had, with feelings of
pride IN u soldiers, Immediately ad-
vanced and said:
"Boys, this is g handsome thing, and
I want you to drink with me. L stand

"No, sir; we thank you kindly; we
appreciate your otfer-but we never

The scene was perfect: the first no.

How many SUCH soldiers under the

singularly good deed in taking thanks
for it out OF a whisky-glass.-Ex.

BLooD-CURDLING ATROCITIES.

Kelung Letter in st. Louis Globe-Dem ocrat
The new and rapidly-growing military
cemetery of Keluug is on the east shore of
the bay, almost at the waters edge, conspics
uous for the number of its mounds and its
crosses. The guns of three or four men-of-
war frown over the spot at a distance of only
few hundred yards. Yet every few nights
bodies are disinterred, beheaded and left in
nameless Disagreement. A few days since
n servant of Col. Duchesne, in pursuit of
provisions, found a fowl which he desired to
purchase While bending forward to exam
inc it some Chinese stole up behind him and
he was beheaded in a moment Two or
three nights ago the captain of towboati
with his engineer, went on shore to LOOK for
water. Happening to stray little from the
beaten path they were attacked and be-
Lsaded The Vipere, lying just off the shore,
heard the cries of the men and sent few
shots into the bushes, but without avail.
The two headiess and horribly mutilated
bodies were found the next morning. The
French, exasperated beyond measure, re-
solved to rotor; in similar fashion, and a day
or two afterward, finding five men whom
they suspected Of the crime, they tied their
queues together, attacked stones to their feet
and drowned them in the bay. Some time
ago they adopted in Tonquin a similar poll
CIV of rcprisal, beheading several hundred
captured Black Flags who had been practic-
ing the barbarities peculiar to Oriental war
fare. The imitation of Chinese atrocities is
of questionable value 10 the French, while in
the eyes of civilized nations it will, if coutin-
ued, degrade them to the level of the savages
with whom they are carrying on this appar-
emily intermiuable war

importation of Pittsburg and Wheeling men
to work at the glass house. But these men,
who come from the glass center of the
country, are staunch union men and say the
strikers would never be backed up by the
union. There is now every prospect of
steady run to fill Californian and other
orders.
The lumber interests of Camp & Walker
are to be gradually closed out at Minneapolis
and removed to Crookston, where the COM
pany has large interests.
Columbia mill will shut down to-day for
repairs to its machinery while awaiting more
water. new water wheel will be put in.
Higher wages at tub making at Mankato
are drawing a few men from some Of the
Minneapolis cooper shops.
The Miller: Quite a little stir was occasioned
on the platform few days since by the discov-
cry of a dam extending about half way across
the canal. At Sixth avenue another was also
found quite distance further above, traversing
the full width of the canal. Both were high
enough TO hold the water back great deal, and
though mainly constructed of stray logs landed
against piers of the canal, II was quite evident
that they had not got there entirely OF their own
accord, as numerous filed bags were used in
either one or both cases to fill tn chnks between
the logs. Ice and refuse had lodged against
these, and made wster-tght dam. These dams
were high enough to undoubtedly be of consid-
cradle benefit 10 the mills above them, but the per
feet innocence with which all parties connected
with these mills dsclaim any knowledge Of the
presence Of the dams should be accepted as the
completest vindicatOn for them. The matter is
rather regarded by the millers on the lower part
of the canal as a good joke, aud they viii nm
doubleday bide their time TO get even. The OBJ
structions were at once removed, OF course,
though with the knowledge of but few, and the
upper mills for a time were at q loss to account
for their water power being so poor.
The Miller gives the following review of
the coopersge of the week:
In one respect Minneapolis shops made trife
better showing last week, and in another they
less barrels than the preceding week, but made
more. The gain. however was rather ques-
tionable one. The shops, as q rule, give greater
evidence Of depression than ever, the maj GRITTY
running lighter. An exception to this has occurred
in two or three Of the smaller shops in the city,
where these have been put to nearly full opera
ton. The largest concern in the city, however,
has shut down. and others next in size are being
operated with their men heavily stinted. The
principal cause in the falling OF IN the use of
barrels has been the greatly reduced Hour pro
ducton, arising from the shortage of water
power. Some of the mills are a's1 heavily sack
ing. The sales and manufacture of barrels for
four weeks shown in the appended table,
