Crowds At East Rock Park Yesterday
 Afternoon.

The walks and drives at East Rock Park yesterday were alive with people on foot and people in carriages. The day was admira- ble, the weather being nearly perfect and the temperature moderate. A cool breeze welcomed the people at the top of the rocks. Good order prevailed. The city-bound horse cars after 4 o'clock were we'll laden with returning excursionists.
 Citizens in teams find all of the roadway, both on the Farnam and the English drives, quite perfect and delightful, except at one point on the English drive not far from the State street gate of the psrk, where there is a steep descent, so steep, citizens state, that several horses have fallen there and several more have only been prevented from going down owing to vigorous use of the reins. On corner stone day, last Thursday, Drug gist H. M. Bishop, with a load of four or five in carriage, was driving down this in- cline, and the horse not relishing being held back so stoutly against the vehicle, let fly his hind feet, which grazed a little girl in he carriage. The horse then veered suddenly, throwing out Dr. Bishop, who stoutly retain ed hold of the reins and stopped the team. Ex-Alderman Geary also found trouble in driving down this steep place.

Temperance i'm Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, Md.-Perhaps the greatest setback that the temperance cause has received in this city for a long time, were the recent disclosures made by a reporter of the Every Saturday. Among our old est and most respected citizens are five survivors of the war of 1872, known as s'The Old Defenders" " whose ages range from S9 to 93 to whom the people have been accustomed to look with very great respect and veneration, on account of the part they took in the defence of Balti- more in that war. Every year it has been the custom to commemorate the defense by an anniversary parade and banquet, in which these veterans participate, the day being a general holiday throughout the State. These old soldiers, hale and hearty in appearance, have marched in procession annually and are the finest specimens of robust old age in the city. For some time past there has been con siderable agitation in this section over the temperance question, the adherents of the cause going so far as to demand absolute prohibition. The reporter of the Every Saturday, who did not sympathize with this movement, accordingly set out in search of public opinion, and among
 
 lenders. He found that every one of them-Mr. John c. Morford, aged s3; George Boss, 92; Samuel Jennings, sa; John Peddecord, 90; Nathaniel Watts. 9o- had always been in the habit of taking a little stimulant of some kind, and since the discovery of Duffy's pure malt whisky-an article from which every trace of fusel oil is eliminated by secret pro- cess-this was their favorite brand. In the words of the venerable Nathaniel Watts-aged 90-when interviewed: That sir," said he, ''is what I call pure arti- cle; that is Duffy's pure malt whiskey. That's like they use to have in my time."
 An eminent London physician, John Gardner, M. D., whose speciality is dis eases of the aged, has written a work on his favorite topic, and the result of hisre- search is, that the only sure and abiding strength which old age receives is medi. cal treatment. with pure whiskey.
