The BARRIERS Temperance Lecture.

There are many temperance lectures
which are not delivered in public places;
and good many plain, sensible people
say things on the subject which are quite
as we'll worth remembering as the most
eloquent addresses OF eminent temper
ance orators. When men will look facts
in the face they will find abundant rea.
sons for letting strong drink alone.
Two colored BARRIERS were together in
shop. One was young man, tho
other was old. The young man took off
his apron and started out of the door.
"Yo's gwine to get drink, Jim?"
asked the elder.
"Dat's what rs gwine to do"

it matters not what the winter may

sharply indicates that large portion of
the cattle cannot rustic through it.
They are doomed to die. There is but
little good grass east of the mountains.

We Have Outgrown Grammar.

Somc Of the best writer's in our Ian
guago arc often the least correct, in q
strictly grammatical sense. Many a
gifted author discards the common rules
of grammar and composos to suit his
own ideas of propriety, clearness and
harmony. He relogate8 those rules to
pedagOgucs and pcdants, and claims for
himself more scope, higher freedom.
English, as has often been remarked, is II
grammarless tongue, and steadily grows
more so, Clever and accepted authors
nowadays make philo.ogic laws of their
own, and instead Of obcying dry and
musty authorities, become authorities
themselves. The English language is
too big, too strong, too rich, too steadily
growing to be bound by ancient fixed or
ineastic rules. New York Commercial

RICHMOND, Va, December 11.-A.
though CluvcriOuS, the convicted murderer
of Lillian Madison, has declined to see any
one except his spiritual adviser, there is n
well ground suspicion that he has in the
past two days confessed that he committed
INC crime for which he is so soon to pay
the penalty. Rev. DR.. Hatcher, an emf
ncnt Baptist divine, who has known Cuyc-

although he is rcticcnt when asked the
point blank question, yet certain questions
put 10 nm, and others near him. guarantee
thc conclusion that the prisoner has &C.
lMoWledgcd the commission of the crime.
For instance, the teaching of the Baptist
ministers is to the effect that q man who
has committed the sin of murder must nc
knowledge his sin before God and man.
Certain parties who are near toGCluycrious
and who are also Baptists, to which de-
nomination Cluvcrious belongs. have posi-
lively asserted III the last 24 hours that the
prisoner has made his peace with God. 1t

pursued i'll the celebrated JCter Phillips

Grand Excursion to the Seashore via

The lOw-rate excursions to the seashore last
season being so well patroni2ed by the Wash {.
ington people, the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, in order to meet the demand OF lits pa
irons, has determined to again offer eXtraordi-
nary facilities for visiting the popular water
ing places of the Atlantic at a nominal cost
and without loss of time, and will inaugurate
the season Of Sc with a grand special train
excursion from Washington TO Long Branch,
n. j., on Saturday next, July II. Special train,
composed of tIst.class coaches, which will be
run through from Washington TO the seashore
via Monmouth Junction without change, will
leave the Sixth street station of the Baltimore
and Potomac railroad at 1880 p. m, stopping
at Sea Girt, Spring Lake, Ocean Beach, and
Elberon, arriving at Long Branch about 6 a.
M; returning, leave Long Branch at p m,
stopping at the points mentioned above, thus
ail0rding the excursionists full day at the
seGshore and the choice of several famous re-
sorts. 1t is now the height Of the season at
these seashore resorts, and more delightful
time could not be selected to visit them. This
excursion will prove particularly benefit to
many business men and others who are unable
to spare the time to visit such resorts. Fare
for the round trip will be $3.50. As the eScur-
sion Is likely 10 be large one, those desiring
TO take advantage of the low rate would do
well TO secure their tickets in advance,

short time since MIR. Roys obtained a

intimated that Mr.. ROys was not

take his opponents long TO decide on the
course they would pursue. When the mo-

Justice James declined to proceed fur

and said If 1t was true that he could not do
that the order made would be stricken out,
and intmated that some other action would
be taken.
Mr.. Roys then proceeded to the clerks

not find proof Of his admission. lie said
that lie was admitted with the class Of
