Rev. II. Dewitt Talmage says
"Gather up the money that the work
ing classes have spent for rum during
the last thirty years, and | will build
for every workingman house, and
lay out for him garden, and clothe
his sons in broadcloth and dress his
daughters in-silks, and stand at his
front door span of prancing sorrels
or bays, and secure him a life policy
OF life insurance so that the present
home may be well maintained after
he is dead. The most persistent,
most overpowering enemy to the
working classes is Intoxicating
liquor. It's the anarchist of the cen
turtles, it has boycotted and is now
bOycotting the body and mind and
soul of American labor. 1t is to it a
worse foe than monopoly and worse
than associated capital. 1t annually
swindles industry out Of large per
centage of its earnings. 1t holds out
its blasting solicitations to the me-
chanic or operative on his way to
work, and at the noonspell and ON
his wsy"hQme at eventide, or-Safnr-
day. when the wages are paid, it
snatches lagre part Of the money
that. might come to the family and
sacrifices it for whisky"

Steady industry is the only true
path to success. The plodding man
generally wins in the long run. There
is no royal road to wealth any more
than to learning. A few men are
suddenly enriched by speculation or
inheritance, but such wealth is sell
dom permanent. Among the specula-
tors we only hear Of those who win a

A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE.

The Canadian steamer Isaac MAY
staggered in the Chicago harbor at a
late hour at night recently without
fuel and almost destitute of provis-
ions Capt. Muir, her master, re-
lates a strange experience. The May
left Chicago three weeks ago, towing
three barges. After a run of five
days they arrived at Manitoulin Is
, land, on the Canadian side of Lake
Huron. 1t is the largest island in
the Great Lakes, and is covered with
cedar trees. When the vessel arriv-
ed there the inhabitants were badly
frightened. For weeks not a drop of
rain had fallen. Shortly after the
steamer and her tow began to take
on their cargoes of posts and ties the
woods suddenly burst into great
blaze, and no sooner had the fire
started than severe wind storm
swept over the island driving the
flames in every direction. The peo-
fled in terror to the beach and sought
shelter on the board Of the vessels,
which pulled out into the lake,
Scores of bears, roaring with pain,
ran out Of the woods with the hair
signed from their hides, and plunged
into the lake.
The flames ragged for two days,
burning over acres of valuable tim
Der and destroying vast amount Of
stock that had heen piled on the
beach for shipment. Then drench-
ing rain storm set in and continued
until the fire was put out. 1t was
ten days from the time the vessel
reached there before they were ready
to leave, and their stock of provisions
was almost exhausted in caring for
the people who took refuge on them.
The experience Of the steamer at the
Manitoulan Islands during the fire
was thrilling. The scene from the
vessels as told by a spectator was
grand beyond description. The flames
shot into the air for hundreds of feet
and turned night into day, while the
heat was so intense that the vessels
were obliged to leave their moorings
and push out into the lake. The
NOISE was deafening and amid all the
confusion, thousands of birds futter-
ed around their late homes, until
tired with their constant flight they
dropped into the lake or fell into the
flames. Deer and bear rushed from
the woods together and threw them
selves into the cooling waters of the
lake. For five days the flames held
their sway before the lubermen could
return to the Island and finish load
ing the vessels.

Near Covington, VIM. Everett,
while fishing in the river allowed his
boat to drift near the bank when a
moccasin snake rushed into the boat
and bit Mr.. Everett on the bare.Eoet
twice Mr.. Everett corded the an
kle promptly, mounted his horse and
rode three-quarters Of a mile home,
and then drank about pint of
whisky, which partially intoxicated
him, and he thought the effects Of
the poison neutralized but when the
cord was slackened he began to have
spasms, which continued at intervals
for eight hours. Drs. A. G. Perry
and j. A. Wright were called in and
administered the usual antidotes,
and after an eight hours contest sue
ceeded in relieving Mr.. Everett and
he is thought to be now out of dan

Several months ago a man at San
Francisco was badly burned by an
explosion. His limbs, face and hands
were covered with huge sores which
refused to heal. Skin grating was
resorted to, and fully fifty pieces Of
flesh from relatives of the sufferer
have been grated. The flesh from
the thigh of live chicken was alsC
grated successfully. The case is one
of the worst ever known in Sar
Francisco, and the result is awaited
with interest by physicians.

NUT GRASS KILLED BY LAST WIN.
TER'S COLD,
Southern Cultivator.

| When | moved to this place year
ago last Spring, there was half acre
in the middle of the farm given up
entirely to the domination of nut
grass. 1t was as completely sodded
with it as land could be with any
grass. ! used it exclusively for graz-
ing my cows and horse during the
spring and summer. But last Octo-
Der | concluded to SOW the whole
piece In oats. | seeded it pretty
heavily and ploughed themein with a
one-horse Watt plough, and as l
turned up the sod the whole surface
seemed covered with the nuts. NV
oats were killed by the severe winter.
but | resolved in February, plough
ing it wit~a- scooter. As soon as
spring set in | began to look out for
a heavy cropof nut gfSsss But to my
astQnishment could not find any,
ana up to this time 1t has NOS made
its Appearance. In fact | am sure
that on an acre Of the ground, if it
was all carefully gathered, you would
not get as much as peck. l am
confident that its destruction is due
entirely to the hard freezes last win
ter. 1t is brand new ides to me
that cold weather viii destroy this
noted pest, but | now feel satisfied
of this fact. The ploughing certain
" had no effect towards killing it ex-
cept to bring the nuts to the surface
and thereby expose them to cold.
uow intense the degree of cold must
be, | can't say, but last winters cold
seemed to be sufficient to do the
work that the ingenuity of man has
heretofore been unable to accom-
plish. | propose to repeat the dose
on the same piece OF land again next
winter and will watch carefully the
results. VIM. S. NEEL,

Not far from bonneville is an old
house which has the reputation Of
being haunted, the owner of the place
having died there some years ago.
Terrible sights have been seen, aw-
full sounds heard, and still more hor-
rible things imagined about the ST.
'lfh5eld lwVse by the natives. There
were some young men, however, who
refused TO believe until they had seen
for themselves. These young braves
repaired to this den of hobgoblings
and departed spirits at twilights, bent
on ferreting out the ghosts reports
and ascertaining how many there
We're, etc. They walked in at the
door and looked around, but seeing
nothing, one OF them said "Pshaw I.
there's no ghost here. But just at
that moment they heard groan and
saw an object begin to move in one
rner, and they changed their notion,
&got their firearms, lost their hats,
and with all the speed they could
command retraced their steps, per-
fectly satisfied of the commences of
the apparition. There is a man, half
crazy, who stays about in the woods
there, and had at that time gone into
the house and lay down. The boys
speaking disturbed him. andhe raised
up to see who it was, just in time to
see the dust flying behind the brave
ghost hunters, and, all unconscious
of the part he was playing, he passed
off for respectable ghost.
