General George A. Sheridan is one of
the most entertaining conversationalist in
the country, says "Gath," in the New
York Tribune. l met him up town the
other night when he was discussing intox-
lcants. Said he: cit is a singular state
Of affairs that there is no nation on the
face of the globe, SO far as known, that
has not an %intoxicant of some kind. I
had curiosity oncc to 60 into an investi-
cation of that question in a very thorough
way, and my statement is the result of
careful study. The Indians, before we
began to furnish them with tirewater,
knew of a plant from which they made a
drink that was intoxicating. 1t had q
bulb in the center at the root and long
leaves from which the sap concentrated
in the bulb. 1t was then expressed from
the bulb and drank. The natives in
Louisiana as far back as 1850 raised a
sugar plant from which they expressed
the juices and made sugar and from that
a sweet rum. The Mexicans have a re-
markable drink. 1t is made from a plant
that grows in the country. They skin q
pig and tie up the hide at the ends.
They fill it with the juice from this plant
and then sew up the stomach and let it
ferment. You might drink a gallon of it
at night without feeling more than a mo-
mentary exhilaration. But when you
wake up the next morning you would be
more gloriously drunk than ever before
in your life and it would take forty-eight
hours or SO to get over it."

birds have flown.

W. - h01h 49,
Their barren nests are left alone,
Clinging to leafless bush or wind-topped tree.
Mementoes mute OF springtime's blue and
green,
Of fragrant orchards poisoning between
Brown, sun-warmed walls,
OF wide swung doors and breezy halls,
And f~ower-beds decked for the drowsy bee.
But now, alas!
The blighting frost is on the grass.
Torn are the wither'd leaves from each loved
tree;
The brooks are still, the woodlands din and
cold,
And harvest fields have yielded all their gold.
o, swift-winged bird!
To that bright land where now is heard
Thy tuneful lay, I'd gladly follow thee.

brought forth by the matchless logic and

unanswerable argument and decorated with
rhetoric and powerful coherency. Never
was there delivered an address equal to this
one in Weston, and never was one more
opportune. The Senator could not have
answered the polished phrases of General
COTS speech any better had he been pres
ent here on Monday. Kenna, holding in
his hand Gen COTS speech, took up each
point and exploded his untenable position
and fallacious argument with force and
effect that went home to the heart Of every
voter in the large and attentive audience. ~
