His Eyes Were Opened.

A laboring man, leaving a large sa-
loon, saw costly carriage and pair
of horses standing in front, occupied by
two ladies elegantly attired, conversing
with the proprietor. AS it rolled away

Temperance.
COmpensati0n-.-TO Whom d?

IA recent decision has been rendered
Kansas by Judge Brewer of the
bited States circuit court to the effect
ht brewers and distillers engaged in
b business of brewing and distilling
the time state may enact pro-
bitory law may legally claim of the
tie compensation for the depreciation
their property in consequence OF
ch legislation. 1t has caused much
ioicing on the part of the liquor fra
fnity, not alone in Kansas and Iowa,
tn within Judge Brewers official
,cuit, but throughout the country. A
awrence brewer, stopped in his bust
ss by the state authorities, secured
removal of certain legal proceed
gs against him in Douglass county to
lie United States circuit court, over
)hich Judge Brewer presides. The
hiding, machinery and fixtures of the
foperty in question, designed and
bapted for the making of beer, were
bid to be worth, for their original pur-
bse, $50,000; for any other use, but
1000 Under the Fourteenth Amend
lent to the Constitution of the United
(ates, which forbids state to deprive
by person of life, liberty or property
|ithout due process of law, Judge
BREWER decides that Kansas, if it pro-
|ibits brewing, as it lawfully may, is
Pgally bound to pay the Lawrence
|rewer the $40, 900 which he loses in
be depreciation of his property as a
bnsequence of such prohibition. OF
ourse, if one brewer or distiller may
hus legally claim compensation of the
tate, under kindred conditions all may
o so in any and all of the states of the
Jnion. Hence the general delight of
quordom at Judge Brewers decision.
,ut there is another and very impor-
ant aspect of the compensation ques-
ion which Judge Brewers decision
makes it altogether pertinent to con-
lder There are two sides-a debtor
nd a credit side-to every properly
,ept ledger account. If the brewers
nay claim and be allowed compensa-
ion from the community and the state,
What may the community and the state
ightfully claim and exact from the
'rewers? The large values which they
ssume to have lost by the stopping of
heir breweries represent but a small
raction of the enormous waste and
oss sustained by the community and
he taxpayers of the state on account
# the poverty, vice and crime which,
nut for their Ubiquitous traffic, would
lave had no existence in the common
wealth. If the question is to be dealt
With on dollar-and-cent basis, and the
are accurately and equitably
made out, the balance will inevitably
,e very large against the brewing, dis
illing and liquor-selling fraternity. In
edition to this, what possible compen-
alton can there be for the myriads of
uined homes and blighted souls?

A Temperance Colony.

Referring to the North Carolina settle
ment, founded by Dr. Clark Whittier,
a writer in the Boston advertiser says:
1t is true that he has purchased a
tract of land of some CO., 900 acres (nearly
100 square miles) in the vicinity of
Charleston, n. c., and, with an energy
unusual for a man of his years, is de-
voting himself to its improvement. The
town is to be called Whittier, and was
recently organized and formally dedi-
Gated, with interesting ceremonies, to
the cause of temperance and purity, all
deeds of property containing clause
that, in case of any house on such prop,
erty being used or leased for immoral
purposes of any kind, the deed becomes
forfeited and the property reverts back
to DR.. Whittier or his heirs, etc. He
does not profess to be the brother of the
poet, but states that he believes his
father bears some relation tohim, posi-
bly, first or second cousin"

An Elephant i'm Battle.

There is beautiful story of an old
elephant that once engaged in an In
dian battle. He was standard-bearer,
and carried on his huge back the royal
ensign, the rallying point of the
Poonah host. AT the beginning of the
fight he lost his master. The mahout,
or driver, had just given him the word
to halt, when he received fatal wound
and fell to the ground, where he lay
under heap of the slain. The obedi-
ent elephant stood still while the bat
tie closed around him and the standard
he carried. He never stirred a foot,
refusing to advance or retire as the con-
flict became hotter and tiercer, until
the Mahrattas, seeing the standard still
flying steadily in its place, refused to
believe they were beaten and rallied
again and again around their colors.
And all this while, amid the din of
battle, the patient animal stood strain
ing its ears to catch the sound of that
voice it would never hear again. AT
length the tide of conquest left the
field deserted. The Mahrattas swept
on in pursuit of the flying foe, but the
elephant, like rock, stood there, with
the dead and dying around and the en-
sign waving in its place. For three
days and nights it remained where its
master had given the command to halt,
No bride or threat could move it.
Then they sent to village one hundred
miles away and brought the mahout's
little SON. The noble hero seemed
then 10 remember how the driver had
sometimes given his authority to the
little child, and Immediately, with all
his shattered trappings Changing as he
went, paced quietly and slowly away

The s4th Ills.

To THE EDITOR: j notice an item in THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE asking that some one write
up history OF the S4th III. have waited for
some one that could do justice TO the subject,
but no one is inclined TO take hold, SO / will
give short history as near as i can.
The regiment was recruited in the west and
northwest part OF the State, aud had 900 odd
men when we crossed out Of Gods country into
the other fellows country at Louisville, KY, in
the Fall Of 1852. We recrossed in June, 1865,
with 346 men, a loss Of two-thirds our number
Our greatest loss was at Stone River. At that
battle we lost 30 killed, ia wounded and eight
taken prisoners. Our next fearful struggle was
ChicKamauga. Then came Lookout Mountain
and the Atlanta campaign with its many bat
ties.
We were assigned to the Twenty-frst Corps
when we first went out After the army was
reorganized we were placed I'm the Fourth Corps
Army of the Cumberland, under Gen. Geo. III.
Thomas; 20, when Sherman started on that
grand campaign 10 the sea, we went TO look
after Hood. Those who read history know
what became OF Mr.. Hood & Co. Our regimen,
took an active part in the battles Of Franklin
aud Nashville.
After that campaign closed we were assigned
10 duty as proyost-guards ia Huntsville Ala
where we stayed long enough TO have our faces
washed. We were then ordered TO Knoxville
Tenn, from there 10 Bulls Gap, and finally
stopped at shieds's Mills, and, the great rebel
lion ended, returned TO our loved ones al
home. w. NEAL, saith Ill, Melvern, Kan.

To THE EDITOR: Having noticed several ar
ticles ia The NATIONAL TRIBUNE concerning
the 18th N. Y at the battle of Jonesboro. allow
me 10 add few items. The 18th N. Y. were
known 10 us as the "red breeches on account
Of their Zouaye dress. At the beginning Of the
battle the ZOuaves were near our left both
regiments in the second line and under cover
Of a slight elevation. The front line was in
need Of reiniorcements, and an Orderly rode
up TO Gen. then ColoneD Durbin Ward, COM
maDding the 18th Ohio and asked, as this
the l7thg" not adding the name Of the State.
:" Yes, sir" said Col. Ward. "Then here is an
order for you 10 advance" said the Orderly.
Col. Ward called the regiment to attention, and
was on the point Of ordering it forward when he
was checked by Gen. Walker, commanding the
brigade. The Orderly discovered his mistake
and carried the order % the 18th n Y, which
regiment CALAMITY rushed forward into the
jaws Of death. We saw them charge. We saw
no finchng on their part, and soon after, when
we moved up we saw scores Of their dead and
wounded strewn along the works so bravey
won. III surely must have occurred TO Others
