"RUM DID ri"
Here, clipped from the Buffalo
Catholic Union, is a paragraph which
suggests a subject for a sermon
from every Christian pulpit in this
boaStful Gland Of The free and home
of the brave"
"The press Of the country, but
more especially the press of New
York, is almost daily filled with &C
counts Of shocking crimes committed
by so-called men brutaIized by drink.
The horrible cruelty with which
those fends in human shape treat
their unfortunate wives and innocent
little children is heart-rending. And
vet those wretches were once bright,
happy men, whose eyes sparkled in
kindly affection; whose hearts throb-
bed with the tenderness of love. But
the cursed cup has wrought the
change"
Land of the Free" indeed when
so many Of our people are the de-
graded slaves of Rum! "Home of the
Brace" is il 7-when the wife-beaters
and child-killers, cruel, crazy drunk
ards, are making the home a hell in
so many American abodes! Our
people should be ashamed to sing
that patriotic song-the lying line is
but the bitterest sarcasm-sO long as
King Alcohol no DIS the country lit
terally by the throat, and "Ihe cursed
cup" which is the sign of his ruthless
deSpotiSm is seen at every turn.
The awful prevalence Of this raging
evil in Buffalo may be appreciated
from IA careful reading of the police
reports in the daily papers. 1t oc-

Friday night, Howard, the negro who raw

which had been gathering in the court house

the country, and even from Dennison,
Newark, and other near points, until after
10 o'clock, when some one shouted to turn
1ut the gas in front of the jail-that the
Vigilantes were coming. This proved a
false alarm, but served to excite the crowd
and increase it. About II the light was
again ordered out, and, after the crowd had
ALLEN back from the Jail, about 1876 masked
men marched up in good order and after 81
encing the crowd asked the sheriff to give up
The keys to the outer door. When this was
opened, they forced the sheriff to give up
she keys of the jail and cells, brought out
The trembling negro, and, after hearing his
confession of the deed, they entwined o
strong hemp rope about his neck and pulled
him up, where he still hangs. After the
hanging most of the crowd quietly dispersed,
though several hundred still remain on the
ground. The crowd present was estimated
At about 1000 persons.

A CHANCE MISSED.

There are goodly number of people in
this city who find their chiefest delight in
| intellectual treats, people whose love of the
beautiful. the sentimental and the emotional
often afford them supreme moments, which
renders this life after all worth the living: for
| what it at such times offers to that in the
man which cannot be resolved back 10 dust.
This class of people, or the great majority
went off 10 bed night before last all uncon-
scious that they were missing one of the op-
portunities of their lives for the kind of en-
joyment to which We alludc. The writer
was among the number, but per force of
circumstances. Those who did not, and
who from cultivation and experience are
competent to judge, say that no platform
speaker ever visited this city with treat so
rare, so delightfully."- descriptive, so touching
in pathos, so patriotic and poetical as that
given by Mrs. VI. +. Lease. Her manner
WAS reposeful and her delivery well nigh
faultless as to enuncistion and modulation.
