Rev. Phillips Brooks in a temperance adj
dress made lately in Boston, said: ''Never
shall my hand or voice be lifted against
so-called temperance fanatics. If ever a
cause justified fanaticisln, the temperance
cause does. To me there is nothing more
disgusting or more disheartening to the
cause of humanity, than the selfish, ease
loving, luxurious man INDUCING in dissi-
patton, and de%nouncing the temperance
fanaticism."

THE

III IEGhSlIAl EtE.
The introduction of the study of hygiene
and the law of descent furnished the prin
cipal objects of debate in the House OF
Tuesday. Mr.. Braker made an argument
III favor of the bill requiring the study OF
physiology and hygiene in the public
schools. He said the Installing of good
health in the schools was as necessary as
the Installing of book learning. Mrs. Mary
c.. Nolan, Secretary of the Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union, presented a petit
ton through Mr.. Alcott, fayoring the bill,
because it provides that the evil effects OF
~intemperance shall be taught in connection
with hygiene. The bill as introduced pro
vided a penalty if the study was not made
a feature in every school. An effort was
made to strike out this penal cause, but 1t
was lost by one vote. The bill was both
praised and derided and was finally sent to
a third reading. 1t is endorsed by a num-
Der of the temperance organizations of the
State. because it is believed that it will act
as a warning to the rising generation OF the
evil effects of liquor upon health. A SINH
lar measure was successful in half a dozen
States a year ago.
Speaker Armstrong made a strong plea
in favor of his bill affecting the law of
descent. He said it was the popular inn
preston that when a man dies interstate
and childless his wife inher;ts the property.
This was not so, and it worked great hard
ship.
In the Senate Ex-senator Edward BEETLE,
was confirmed as a member of the State
Board of Assessors. He was nominated
by Governor Albeit.
In the House on Wednesday was intro

1t is similar to the measure introduced last
week reducing the Court Of Errors and
Appeals and Court OF Pardons to five
Judges for the former and four for TIE
latter, the Supreme Court to consist of a
Chief Justice and twelve Judges, and to
exercise the powers nov exercised by the
Court of Chancery. prerogative Court and
ordinary Court.
Tho Senate recommitted the bill appro-
priating so, 900 to the New Orleans Expo
sition.
Among bills passed in the Senate were
the following:
Allowing railroad and canal companies
to pay their taxes quarterly.
Providing that all fines hereafter collect
ed for violation Of the game laws shall be
paid to the counties where levied.
A joint session was held, and a number
of Commissioners of Deeds were elected,
when the Senate adjourned for the week.

House Wednesday afternoon: Permitting
Circuit Judges to order the adoption of
children; permitting the sale of real or
personal property by Collector of Taxes;

Boards of F~reeholders for incorporated
b%oroughs.
Bills were introduced as follows: Dis
qualifying justices of the peace from being

what Is 1t to a woman !?

What is all this to Il woman? What is
it to a man to fail in business; to put his
whole life, energy, and time into an enter
prise, and then see it go down, and all he
has invested to be lost? All that it could
be to you to fail in business, and infinitely
more is it, for a mother to fail in her son.
All that a woman is that is pure and good
and true, she invests in her boy. He is
the result of her best work, with brain
and hands and feet, and for him she has
out stint; and yet, some may say, it is
nothing to her that the saloon monster
along our streets stands ready to eat him
up! Some say to her ego back into your
home;' they would want her to shut the
door and keep out of sight the scenes enact
ed over the destruction of her boy.
She takes her infant son upon her knee
and sings to him the sweet songs of the
church, teaches him the pure precepts of
the gospel, and brings him up fair and
noble, as a boy can be; and then, when he
is just a little taller than she, (and it don't
take long for that), he goes out into a
world set with traps and snares, that may
catch him, and draw him into the gin mill
and there grind him up into devils meat.
There are women alive to-day to whom
life means but little, because of the SONS
that have gone to ruin in spite of their love
and work, and prayers of faith. Let the
people learn wisdom by the destruction of
the young men, and invent some other
means of carrying on the government than
by revenue collected from a business that
destroys the manhood of our sons and the
virtue of Il daughters. Let us not falter,
then, in this great cause, and under the
smiles of God we will conquer in this fight,
roll back the tide of intemperance, and de-
liver our country from the vandal that
seeks to desecrate every home that blesses
it.-Nr$. II. e. Leacis, in Adpdncc.
