Regarding Prohibition.

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN; The
discussions on this subject In the NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN, have thus far not touched the
object of prescription itself nor explained
the nature of the different beverages held
In adherence by well.meaning people.
Neither has the question been raised, II
there are really no other remedies against
drunkenness, than that extreme one OF alb
solute Punishment OF fluids containing
alcohol.
The study OF hygiene aud aiimentation
seems In the United States not to be exactly
prominent one. Gross ignorance prevails
ON the subject OF beverages, The ancient
adage, "Never drink without eating, nor
eat without drinking" is sadly neglected
and siuned against. Systematizing the
manner of nourishment is, at least on the
part OF many of the stronger sex, not
thought OF. Great regularity In habits is
not general. The neglect OF that old rule
quoted has to answer for the unnatural Gus
tom OF tippling. That Inherited fashion OF
satisfying an artificial thirst at any moment
created the convenience OF the public house
The saloon could not but prosper and null
tiply to I'LL the want.
Alcohol used In great moderation IL an
excellent resupplier Of heat, For the hard
worker in the open air II Ia restorer OF
wasted force. To the person of sedentary
habits II is not necessity. A vast differ
ence exists between dstillates aud bever-
ages formed by fermentation and contain
ing as one OF their ingredients, not the
prominent one, alcohol generated naturally
from the sugar OF the fruit that originated
light beverages, such as wihes OF grapes
and other fruits. Beer Ia likewise light
drink, when not fortified to a great degree.
Light, pure table wines, the chief OF
them clarels, are truly nutrttiye beverage.
As food, but not dram, II serves at the
meal for more than Il hundred millions OF
people in the old world who are essentially
sober, and who in Il very small proportion
consume distilled drlnkS The French,

other than the exquisite melodies was try
ing to give form to. Concentration OF the
mind is the secret of the success Of this
method. MY last plan is not to make an
overture at all. Meyerbeer did this both in
'The Huguenots' and Robert the Devil"
1t should be remembered that the above
letter was addressed to aSig. Amaldi, whose
nephew had been guilty OF writing an opera,
aud who had had tina brilliant notion to
apply to the 'Swan Of PeZEaro" for advice
Ms 10 how to compose an overture. The
note concludes with "best wishes for the
future Of your nephew, and many thanks
for the delicious pate de foie gras you SO
kindly sent me. "--PdH Nal Gdsette

POLITICS IN TEXAS.
Hon. Charles Stuart, of Houston, NomI-
mated.


mated.
Texas is the banner Democratic state in
the country. Her majority is. so over
wheming over the Republicans that 1t has
caused a split in tue party. Last month
they held II state convention In Galveston
and selected full state ticket from gov
ernor down, The progressive wing of the
party don't seem to take kindly to the men
selected for state officers. The off-shoots
have issued II call and published platform,
and will hold their convention In Dallas
this month to nominate full state ticket.
The prohibitionists have met in conven-
tiOn aud made their selections for state
officers. There seems to be good prospect
OF a badly split.up party in that state.
Texas has been fortunate In having men of
ability to represent her interests In Con-
gress since the war. She loses one of her
ablest men in Congress, ex.Gov. Throck-
morton, who has declined a denomination
on account OF poor health.
In the first district the Hon. Charles
| stuart, of Houston, has been renominated.
| Col stuart Is now serving his second term
IN Congress, aud while a Republican would
| be preferred, yet that is not possible at
present.; the peOple.of his district are TO be
congratulated in having selected him to
| represent their interests In Congress- He
| IL u very urbane gentleman, believes In fair
| dealings, n hard worker, always in his seat
when the House Is In session, also IN his
committee room when needed. AS mem
| her OF the river and harbOr committee he
secured larger appropriation for his state
| than has been made since the war. His
course in Congress has been most creditable
TO himself aud the state he represents.

why Men Beoome Bald.
New York Mail and Exnress.

INV" IUIA MHII HHU EApTtbs,I
"Did you ever notice what classes OF men
are most commonly bald ?" asked an expert
hair dresser of Mail and Express reporter
the other day. "That throws a good deal
of light on the causes OF badness. People
give all kinds Of explanations for it-dlssi
patton, cutting the hair too short, letting IL
grow too long, smoking, drinking strong
coffee, worry, wearing high hats, wearing
low hats, wearing your hat indoors, not

Henry watterson's Novel and Play.


The gallant Col. Henri Watterson, who
will soon return from Europe, may bring
the manuscript OF new play with him. In
one Of his recent letters he has confessed
publicly, as he has often privately, to hav-
ing written very bad novel, which he
purposes publishing in London. He said
some time before he was taken i'll that he
thought OF going to Europe aud writing II
drama about which he had often talked
with Joe Jefferson, aud IL was to be based
upon CoOper's story Of "rhe Spy.n 1t was
an eXhiaration TO hear Watterson describe
the power aud pathos which jefferson
could put into that creation, and tue
Colonel asserted that the great actor had
suggested to him how the play should be
constructed and how the part of the spy
treated. There was to be one scene, like
that IN Grip Van Winkle,n where JetTer-
son alone carries the play through an entire
act. THIS was to represent the spy In the
solitude Of the woods, hunted and tracked.
II Mr.. Watterson would only go on the
stage and act the part as graphically and
powerfully rs he delneated II in private

Our MasouIIne Population.

Akin to shaving is the custom of shear
ing the head so close that the scalp shows
through. This custom came in with the
war for wise sanitary reasons under those
circumstances, but has now no excuse. 1t
is injurious as well rs disfguring. The
hair is conductor OF electricity to the
brain, and 1t should never be less than two
inches In length. Unless the facts IN the
case are taught in the schools so that boys
are warned, In few generations more we
shall have general softening of the brain
among our masculine population There
has been more than one warning of the
near danger. EcdHgeiist,

Died.

On last Monday, Nov. Goth, it be-
came the solemn duty of the kindred
and many friends of Mrs. III. w.
Arledge to tender their last respects
to that aged and beloved lady. In
the little churchyard at Oak Grove,
loving hands tenderly laid her in the
cold mbtosleep in thearms of Jesus.
She was &c years of age, and leaves a
husband and six sons to mourn her
loss. Although having never united
herself with any church, she was a
good woman, a dutiful wife and a
loving mother. We know tits hard
to give up the best friend on earth,
but Thy will be done. No human
being can fill the place of a mother,
and although those lips are cold in
death which have so often uttered
encouraging words to faithful hus-
band, and sweet, cheering words to
her dutiful sons just verging into
manhood, the memory of their bless
ed mother will ever follow them.
How often, after the work of the day
was done, under the starlit canopy
of Heaven, have the little ones gath
cred around their mothers knee to
hear their favorite story, and as she
smOothed back their flowing locks a
proud smile would light up her face
as she gently kissed them, folded
their little hands to repeat the prayer
which she had taken so much pride
in learning them. How can they ever
forget her? Never. AS they grew
up, one by one with a mothers bless
ing, they parted, and for the first
time in many years they all met last
Monday to gaze for the last time up
on the face of their blessed mother.
To the grief stricken family the
sympathy of the entire community is
rendered. HI. F. B.

mammoth winter sanitarium in con-
nection herewith. Whether as a
winter sanitarium, a summer resort,
or both combined, it will be the
means of circulating good many
thousand dollars every year through
Warren county for farm products, to
to say nothing about what may be
spent for buildings and improve
ments.
"A subsequent letter from Maj.
III. G. Bate, Director of the Weather
Service for Tennessee, informs us
that the proposition was to furn-
ish McMinnville with the cold wave
signals only,and not the daily service,
the present appropriation being in
sufficient for that. If the coming
Congress makes suficientappropria-
ton he hopes to have McMinnville
put on the daily service inthe spring.
1t is possible that we may not be able
to secure the cold wave signals at
present, if so the money collected for
purchasing flags will be returned to
subscribers. If, however, we are
supplied with the signals the flag
will be displayed, when occusion re-
quires, onsa wire between the STAN
