Artists Studio OF the Olden Time.
The site of the ancient Egyptian city
Of Zoan, often spoken of IN the Bible.
and which Ezekiel prophesied would be
destroyed by fire, has been found and is
now. undergoing thorough examine
ton. Many interesting discoveries have
been made which will still further ekci-
date that Egyptian life and history of
which already we have so full an &C
count. A curious find is that Of the
house of an amateur artist of the ancient
world, whose studio has been examined
and it Is found that he was as choice of
his implements as modern dabbiers IN
the fine arts always are. He had very
fine palette of limestone ground perfectly
smooth WITH twelve little depressions to
hold his colors. These he used only in Q
liquid state. His palette knife was made
Of silver, highly decorated. by engraving,
i, and the little jars to hold his paints were
of the finest glazed ware
Specimens OF his own work were
found, but they were very poor, Wink
his collection Of bric-a-hrac, including
bronze figures, glazed pottery of various
makes, and delicate glass objects of diff
ferent sorts, was very fine. He owned q
plano-convex lens, and. he had almos
the only specimen of ancient painted
glass yet discovered. In fact, an artist
studio of olden time seems to have re
sembled an artists studio of the presen
day in this at least, that the more SHOW
was made the less work was DONE

The Temperance Eden.

We have found the Temperance
Eden at last. The Prohipitory law
went into operation in Rhode Is
land the first of this month, and
even the secular press admits that
it is enforced, and will be. The
great cry has always been, and
everywhere, that prohibition does
not prohibit" But it is admitted
now that from the first the law has
prohibited in Rhode Island. This
is encouraging. Possibly the truth
may be gotten out at last touching
this question, and it be admitted
that Prohibition does prohibit

Prohibition plan is to-day, because
the politicians were afraid we
would break up their parties. The
leaders Of the Repu blican party, of
which I was until lately member,
charge that we are harder
on them than we are on the Demo
Gratis. We cannot help it because
the Democrats proclaim that they
run on rum, while the Republicans
deny it and we are put to the
necessity of proving il. So that
takes more time and words. That
is all the difference. One has the
demijohn on the platform, the
other under it.
We will neverget the FREEMAN's
right to vote in Baltimore until we
send our men to the Legislature.
We cannot have Prohibition until
the whole State is under Prohibi
tory law. How useless to have
Prohibition in the counties, when
the city is sending liquor by the
barrel, or when it is received In a
Local Option counties from an
adjoining free whisky county.
We demanded a constitutional
amendment for State and Nation.
We are in earnest or certainly
never men and women were, for
we Of the male gender have COM
pany now. The women cannot
vote but they are politicians for all
that, and right cheerily do we
work together in this moral re-
form, this greet uplifting of the
American Home against this base
and bloody foreign invasion.
He told them of the late brilliant
triumphs of the ballot in various
sections of the country, the north
and south in a glorious rivalry,
struggling which shall first excel
in the fraternal strife. He told
them that the press through which
information is derived was almost
silent on the subject of these
important facts, important for the
well-being of the people. But they
will not be kept in the dark, for
we are having and will have
papers Of our own and the leading
non-partisan papers are coming to
the help of the weak.
He said the Republican party
has done much for you my colored
brethren, but you have repaid it
all with interest. You have help
ed it for twenty-four years to CON
tinue in office, aud you have lived
on promises. You did not shirk
when you were called into the
deadly strife to save the country
of your adoption, and magnify the
name OF your glorious President.
Without your aid the Re-
publican party and our glorious
country would have gone down
together. So come on brethren for
another long pull.
The Little Giant of the Mary
land Line was at his best and put
forth his oratory, and he swept the
people into the new party by hun

MASON CITY, MASON Co., W. VA. /
July II, 1886. {
ED. FREEMAN;
History proves that wherever
efforts have been made to reform
corrupt party or organization by
persons belonging to such organi-
cation, such reforms were generally
driven out of the organization.
There was time in the history of
the Church of Rome when it was
the policy of that Church to sell
indulgences to support it. Luther,
who was a member of that church,
attempted to reform it Of
that vice. but he soon found to be
successful he had to fight against
her denominations outside of the
organization. The degenerated
church and the profits arising from
the sale of indulgences were too
great to give up.
The sale of indulgences is the
settled policy of the Republican
and Democratic liquor party, and
this policy can only be reformed by
establishing a counter policy, en-
forced by compact Organization
acting outside Of and against the
old corrupt organizations The
The Prohibition votes must be
crystalized into one compact indie
pendent party and welded with
an Irresistible power of holy inn
pulse, The echo comes from the
inspired penman that we must get
outside Of the old corrupt parties
before we can apply with effective
force the leverage of Prohibition.
Come out from among them and
be ye separate" We must have an
independent organization on which
to stand before we can move the
old parties out of the way. We
can never secure effective Prohibi-
tory laws with sharp penalties,
and officers to execute them with
out first electing to the three
departments of government Prohi-
bition officers. And to elect Prohi-
bltionists into power in the Legis-
lative, Executive and Judicial
departments of government to
secure the needed Prohibitory laws
and their enforcement you must
first unite all the Prohibitionists
SO they will vote together for the
same Prohibition candidates, and
this can only be done through
party fundamentally. 1t is the
duty of every one who is opposed
to the saloon to give his and her
moral and political support to the
Prohibition party, forsaking all
others and work zealously for it
only until its organization is per-
fected and its victory complete.
Let us all enter upon the
earnest work Of doing our duty
and let the battle cry ring out in
every county in the State until
every sleeping Prohibitionist will
wake up to full realization of his
duty in this grand warfare. We
will organize Mason county on the
31st inst, and we intend to give a
good report in due time.

AMONG THE UNFORTUNATE.

A Woman Eloquent Speaks Re-
 garding a Noble Work Among the
 Criminal Glasses Of WOmen-An Ad-
 dress by Mrs. Barney of Providence
 at English Hall.
 English Hall was thronged yesterday after
 noon and evening with members of the Wo-
 mems Christian Temperance union and their
 friends, the occasion being the presence of
 Mrs. J. K. Barney of Providence, national
 superintendent of prison work for the union.
 In the afternoon her address opened with 8
 sketch of the progress made in wemen's
 Christian and temperance work during the
 past twelve years. The prejudices of the
 past have gradually disappeared until now
 the doors are open to women in all Christian
 work and benevolent undertakings. She made an earnest appeal to the friends of the Women's Christian Temperance union, male and female, to aid by their presence and their means the noble cause which has now become SO universal throughout the land. She argued that the general wearing of the white badge, emblematic of the order, by members of the union would be of great service to its growth and usefulness, and gave several interesting incidents relating | thereto. The needs and requirements of our prisons were thoroughly and intelligently ex- plained. The actual necessity of matron | in all police stations where criminals and the I unfortunate of both sexes are confined was graphically set forth. She argued her cause, l both from a standpoint of justice and of | common deeency, and claimed that the only objection to this reform came from the police department itself. Matrons in police stations | have already been secured in Boston, Balti- 1 more, Chicago, St. Louis and other smaller | cities, and the speaker confidently expected x-- Al, Io-r la1 form would be the rule and not the excep- tion. Mrs. Barney is one of the most elo- quent woman speakers who has ever ap- peared in New Haven. If her more pathetic appeals bring her audience to tears she pos | sesses the rare qualification of restoring it again to sunshine and gladness by some
 burst of eloquence or some gleeful incident of everyday life.

 A FINE MUSICAL SERVICE.
 The Dwight Place church was filled by large audience on the occasion of the service of song4by the choir of the church. It had been rumo1ed that the choir was to be rein forced by four ladies, but the service was opened by the male quartette alone and so proceeded through several exercises. In re- sponse to the hymn "It came upon the mid night clear'' the ladies' voices foated in from the distance with the refrain 'Peace upon earth good will to men," The effect was electrical, especially to many who did not know of the expected assistance. On the next hymn the ladies appeared in the choir gallery and joined the quartette. They were Mrs. S. S. Thompson, her sister Miss Sanford, Mrs. Oliver King and Mrs. H. A. Minor. The double quartette then perform ed Southwick's "And there were shepherds" after which Mrs. Thompson sang Christmas lullaby sThe Christ child" by s. P. Warren. It was beautifully and touchingly sung. The quartette sang Christmas anthem by Mendelssohn and Bucks Twilight adapted to Christmas words. They were both eHec- lively rendered and the service was rendered more effective by the pastors earnest re- marks. As whole it was service to be re- membered.
 . HOWARD AVENUE CHURCH.
 A large audience was in attendance at the Christmas praise service of this church. The Sabbath school, numbering about four hun dred, marched into the audience room to the processioaal "Joy of the World" The an- them ''Shout the Glad Tidings' was sung with much spirit by the choir, the soprano and bass solos being rendered by Miss May Mansfield and MT. Arthur w. Jepson. Then followed recitations and songs by members of the Sabbath school. Amongst the selec- tions deserving special mention was the reel tation by Miss Maud Beckley and the song ''Sweet Lilies'' by a class of little girls. Bartlett's popular anthem Bethlehem" was then rendered by the choir, after which the Rev. MT. Mutch made an address appropriate to the occasion. The decorations, consisting of two large ladders of evergreen between which was suspended large evergreen bell and the motto eJoy to the World," were arranged under the direc- ton of Mrs. Mutch, wife of the pastor. The music of the choir was under the leadership of MT. H. K. Beach, to whom great credit is due. The following is the programme:

Surprises AlI Around,

At Mrs. E. B. Vail's, sister of Lamp h. spector Upson, Christmas day was celebrated in the old-fashioned woy-good cheer in abundance and most inviting. Mrs. Vail was remembered by her guests, they making her present of a very handsome easy chair. Her sister, Miss Upson, was also kindly re- membered with several gifts. One of the events of the past few weeks at this house has been a daily penance imposed for break ing rules for which the law breakers, by special statute enacted for the occasion, had to put the fine imposed in silver pitcher the total of which on Christmas day amount ed to $9-and one party more guilty than the rest donated ten pound turkey, ex- claiming tgoing, going, gone." This fund was placed in the hands Of young lady and the proceeds were given to 8 worthy poor family, the husband and father being sick with consumption, and the family consisting of seven young children all under thirteen years of age. To complete the ceremony the aid of the postmaster of Boston was invoked with surprising results, postage paid at this end of the route.

The singing and the recitation were also well rem dered and elicited applause. President Will liam H.

The amount thus far received is seven ty-four dollars.
