A Prediction About Railroads
MADE OVER FIFTY YEARS AGO, AND VERY
AMUSING READING NOW.

The New York Gazette of September
20, 1880, gives the following humorous
argument, which, it says, was used by
canal stakeholder in opposition to rail-
roads:
"He saw what would be the effect of
it; it would set the whole world a-gad-
ding-twenty miles an hour, sir Why,
you will not be able to keep an appren-
tice boy at his work; every Saturday he
must take a trip to Ohio to spend the
Sabbath with his sweetheart. Grave,
plodding citizens will be flying about
like the comets. All local attachments
must be at an end. 1t will encourage
fightiness of intellect. Various people
will turn into the most Unreasonable
liars; all their conceptions will be exag-
gerated by the muuiicent notions of dis
tance-only hundred miles off ! Tut
nonsense, I'll step across, madam, and
bring your fam Pray, sir, will you
dine with me to-day, at ny little box at
Alleghany?' Why. indeed, I don't
KNOW shall be in town until twelve.
Well, I shall be there, but you must let
me off in time for the theatre And
then, sir, there will be barrels of pork
and barrels of flour and chaldrons of
Goals, and even lead and whisky and
such like sober things, that have always
been used to sober travelling, whisking
away like lot of sky rockets. 1t will
upset all the gravity of the nation. If
couple of gentlemen have an affair of
honor, they have only to steal off to the
Rocky Mountains and there no jurisdic-
lion can touch them. And then, sir,
think of fyinp from debt set of
baliffs, mounted on bomb-shells, would
not overtake an absconIing debtor
only to give him fair show. Upon the
whole, sir, it is pestilential, topsy -turvy,
harum. scarum whirligig. Give me the
old, solemn, straightforward, regular
Dutch canal-three miles an hour for
expresses and two for jog or trot jour-
neys-with a yoke of oxen for a heavy
load ] gofor beasts of burden; it is more
primitive and scriptural, and suits
moral and religious people better. None

A Novel Temperance Society,
A PROSPEROUS CLUB FORMED FROM tn
DRUNKEN JOKE OF THREE YOUNG MEN.

On the night of Dec. 81, 1888, three
young men sat around tavern fire in
Georgetown, little Connecticut village.
The three were grossly intoxicated and
were watching the old year out. AS the
clock struck II one OF the young men
said:
"Boys, the new year is here. Now
let's swear off and form temperance So
ciety."
The others, in spirit of fun, agreed.
The articles of association were then and
there drawn up. They were similar to
the rules of other temperance organiza-
tions, with one exception. The clause
containing the pledge had the following
penalty attached:
''And any one of us who shall drink
any Intoxicating liquor, for any purpose
whatsoever, between now and midnight
of Dec. 81, 1884, shall be tarred and
feathered."
This clause, becoming known, gained
the club the name of "The Tar and
Feather Temperance Society,"" Meet
ings of the society were frequently held.
Gradually applications for membership
began to pour in and before six months
had passed the society numbered thirty
members.
The year of abstinence expired on
Wednesday night and grand ball was
gwen by the society, to which large
number of the best people of the place
were invited. The hall was filled. At
midnight the president announced that
the pledge had expired. By unani-
nous vote it was renewed for another
year, and some twenty new names were
added to the roll. The peculiar pen
atty proves an attractive advertisement
and the matter is the talk of the neigh
borhood. Nearly every resident wears
the society's badge. The badge is blue
ribbon, with lump of tar filed with
chicken feathers attached.
