Waiting for Public Sentiment

Catholic priests in the diocese of Bos-
ton are about to petition our Legislature
for law preventing the sale of liquor
within 400 yards of the church. We
have one now prohibiting its sale within
40 yards of a school house let the Cath
olics get this one putting the iniquity
400 yards from the churches; then let
Romanists and Protestants unite for a
statute prohibiting the sale within 400
miles of dwelling house, and we would
be satisfied. "You could not enforce
it," growls chorus of obstructionists.
"What is the use of law without pub
lie sentiment to back it?" That is to
say, o wise objectors, you will do your
best by your utterances to prevent the
growth of public sentiment, and then
discourage action on the ground of its
non-existence, like the lad who killed
his parents, and then asked the forbear-
ance of the court on the plea that he
was poor orphan.-A. J. Gordon, D. D.,
in The Watchman.

Panic-Stricken Troops at Shiloh.

From General Grants illustrated ac-
count of the Battle of Shiloh in the Feb
ruar Century we quote the following:
The nature of this battle was such
that cavalry could not be used in front:
/ therefore formed ours into line, in
rear, to stop stracglers, of whom there
were many. When there would be
enough of them 10 make a show, and
after they had recovered from their
fright, they would be sent to reinforce
some part of the line which needed
support, without regard to their
companies, regiments, or brigade.
..On one occasion during the day,

General Buell. who had Just arrived; |
do not remember the hour of the day.
but at that time there probably were as
many as four or five thousand strag-
glers lying under cover of the river
bluff, panic-stricken, most of whom
would have been shot where they Law,
without resistance, before they would
have taken muskets and marched to
the front to protect themselves. The
meeting between General Buell. and
myself was on board the dispatch-boat
used to run between the landing and
Savanna. 1t was but brief, and related
specially to his getting his troops over
the river. As We left the boat togeth-
er, Buelrs attention was attracted by
the men lying under cover of the river
bank. / saw him berating them and
/ trying to shame them into joining their
regiments. He even threatened them
with shells from the gun-boats near by
But it was all to no effect. Most of
these men afterward proved themselves

the battle from which they had desert

impressed General Buell. with the idea
that line of retreat would be a good
thing just then. If he had come in by
the front instead of through the strag-
glers in the rear. he would have
| thought and felt differently. Could he
have come through the Confederate
rear, he would have witnessed there a
scene similar to that at our own. The
distant rear of an army engaged in
battle is not the best place from which
to judge correctly what is going on in
front In fact, later in the war, while
occupying the country between the
Tennessee and the Mississippi, learned
that the panic in the Confederate lines
had not differed much from that within
our own. Some of the country people
estimated the stragglers from John

How Cholera Travels.

The disease is best known in Europe
under the names of cholera, cholera
morbus, Asiatic cholera, since the epi-
demic of 1917 to 1919, in which the
English Army, under the command of
the Marquis of Hastings during war
against the natives, was rendered unfit
for fighting ard almost annihilated.
But cholera has never visited Europe
till the present century, when IN 1880
it appeared in Russia and spread to
Poland. where war was prevailing.
Since that time, sometimes at longer
and sometimes at shorter intervals,
cholera has sometimes appeared in
Europe. The question why cholera re-
manned thousand years in India, be-
fore it began to migrate IS one OF great
interest. but one which cannot be sat
isfactorily answered The principal
consideration appears to me to be that
the event happened at the time when
intercommunication in all directions,
both by land and water, had become
more rapid. The first steamship ap-
peared in the Indian waters at the be-
ginning of the second decade of the
present century. BY land also inter-
course was greatly accelerated. The
Russians possibly took cholera from
India. Arabia, Afghanistan, or Persia,
through eouriers and stage-coaches. 1t
soon became clear that cholera, the
specific cholera-germ, was in some way
or other propagated along the paths OF
human intercourse, and il also became
evident that unless the germs found a
suitable soil within certain time they
| did not flourish. Observers soon dis
covered that cholera was more prone
to appear in certain regions and affect
certain localities, while it Stunned
other districts; and. again, that Other
regions were only visited at intervals
| of many wears. 1t is also a fact that
Asiatic cholera never yet appeared at a
place which had not previously been
| in communication with a region where
cholera prevailed; and, further, that
4 the disease from an infected locality
never yet passed on to another place i
the journey lasted certain time with
out interruption. The large inter.
course between India and Europe. mort
particularly England. by means of ship.
which sailed round the Cape of Coco
Hope. had never succeeded in carving
cholera from India to England. DIR

To Set Grape Cuttings.

4 correspondent asks for information
relative to setting grape cuttings, and
we give the plan adopted with satistac-
uon by grape vine propagator.
The fall is the best time to make
cuttings, if you wish to increase or make
plants or vines from such as may be
reproduced by cuttings. All of our
grapes and many kinds of trees and
shrubs can be multiplied in this way,
and many persons, if they have taste
for it, can increase their plants in this
manner. Grape-cuttings are made from
wood of this years growth. Two to
four buds 1.-TWO, uspally) are sufficient to
give the proper length, which is about
six inches, taken from sound and we'll

end square with knife or bud.

How to Make Good Mixers.

No matter what breed you have, says
Mr.. w. II. White, in Country Gentleman,
something further is necessary in order
tureach the best success in raising good
mixers. Good blood, whether Short

native, is not everything, but lies at the
foundation; something cannot come for
nothing. Treatment in raising mixers

And now comes French writer who
declares that the idea that France is a
reasonably temperate country is a mon
strous mistake. Dr. Baron, in his Pau
perism and Poverty" says that drink
causes more pauperism than all other
things combined. In the whole of
France, he says, the average number of
people to drinking place is LOG, while
there is savingsoank for every 2S, 500,
and benefit society for every $4,000.
The average expenditure of a skilled
workman for drink and gambling has
been estimated at $40 per year, but Dr.
Baron thinks this too high. He claims
that not want, but improvidence and
selfishness, lead the mass of the people
to contract the drinking habit.
