A Tenn perance Talk.

Quite good congregation, considering
the condition of the streets, gathered at
Laurel-Street Methodist church last night
to hear an address by Mrs. Frances j..
Barnes, of New York, on the work OF the
Young Woman's Christian Temperance
Union. of which she is the national super
intendent.
In the absence Of the pastor, by reason
Of sickness, Mrs. Peasants, president
of the Women's Christian Temperance
Union of this city, presided.
After hymn or two had been sung
the exercises we're opened by reading a
portion of Scripture and prayer by Mrs.
Barnes. The speaker was then intro
duced, and for about an hour entertained
and instructed her audience in the prin-
ciples OF total abstinence.
She is a fluent speaker, easy OF man
ner and graceful in delivery, catching
aud holding the attention and sympa-
thies OF her hearers throughout.
Mrs. Barnes is a Quaker and uses the
plain language in conversation, but does
not dress in the conventional style OF
that sect of Christians.
She illustrates her arguments freely
and aptly, and closed With q strong and
stirring appeal TO the young ladies to
Join in the work OF those whose motto is
"For God and Home and Native Land. "
She will give a Bible-reading in Broad
Street Methodist church at ii o'clock
this morning, and at 7:45 tonight will
deliver temperance address in Fulton
Baptist church,

The Membership Committee reported
POI new members for the month.
Vigorous speeches were made by the

on this line. Many promised earnestly
to try to bring in new members. The
names of those promising were taken,
and a conference will he held in the
course of ten days, when reports will be
considered.

any thoughts on the subject? These
men served their purpose in their day,
but their works are now abolished, ex-
cept the reader of the classics, and you
can never place any Of them side by side
with the Bible and claim that they arc
equal. The Bible is the one thing that
a man searches when he wants to satisfy
his conscience and his reason. Alone it
stands as the highest authority. When
you want TO cultivate the mind and the
thought Of the world and purify its
quality till the last leaning toward sin
has been stopped, you must look TO the
Bible.

1t is mott ceable that whenever any of the
Canadians get disguised with their own ar
engagements of government they turn to the
United States as their refuge. Now it is the
Province Of Quebec that has of a sudden
started out IN course of opposition to the
Dominion government, such as we have been
more accustomed to from Manitoba and the
Maritime Provinces The trouble is over
the authority which the Dominion govern
ment has of yetoing or disallowing provin-
cial acts. The provincial government Of
Quebec has passed certain acts for the con-
version Of the public debt and the creation
Of provincial courts. These acts the Domin-
ion government has vetoed, as it vetoed the
Manitoba railroad act, that made SO much
trouble. Equally independent with their
Manitoba brethren, the Quebec provincial
government has decided to proceed, In def
snce Of the Federal authorities and the I'm
perial Government itself, raising the cry of
Quebec for the French" and provincial
Rights" Premier Mercier has made a
speech on the independence of Quebec, in
which he dares Downing street or Ottawa to
interfere further in Quebec legislation. and
denounces the vetoes of the Dominion gov
eminent as inspired by English Protestant
hatred Of French Roman Catholics. This
language is reflected by lie Lecteur," the
Premier's personal organ, which openly
threatens secession of Quebec from the Ca
madam Union. In their anger hey turn to
the United States, and already The cry of an
nexation is raised. This trousle " i'll proba-
bly, be compromised, as were the Manitoba
troubles, but it all goes to show where Cana
da's manifest destiny" lies.

The terrible ravages Of the yellow fever at
Jacksonville have prompted DR.. Henry |.
Bowditch, the celebrated Boston physician
to urge the re-establishment of the National
Board of Health AT the time Memphis,
Tenn, was afflicted, several years ago,
national board of health, with full power
and an ample supply Of money from the
United States Treasury, met the emergency
vigorously and for the time being virtually
held the city, and. surrounding it by proper
sanitary laws. squelched the disease on the
spot where 1t first showed itself in all its cpl
demic virulence. Having done this, DR.. j.
5. Billings. the boards agent, taught the
people OF Memphis how to purify themselves
OF the filth in which they had previously
lived and left them in better sanitary con-
dition than they had ever been in before.
But after time Congress ceased to make
appropriations for the board giving them in
stead TO the Marine Hospital Corps, which
now is the department of the government
dealing with the fever in Jacksonville. DR..
Bowditch is of the opinion that the manner
under which the Hospital Service operates is
not adapted to the prompt measures neces-
asiy 10 stamp out an epidemic. 1t Is gener-
ally understood that the Marine Hospital
service cannot do anything In regard to ma
lignant diseases appearing in any mart of
the country until official information Is given
by the executive Of the State in which sucb
disease exists that it is in an epidemic form
and therefore calls for the national succor
BY this time 1t is generally too late for n
most efficient service, and DIR. Bowditch
would have national sanitary board estab.
lished for the very purpose OF preventing
II possible, the smallest sign of an epidemic y
The death of Prof Proctor in New York is
to his mind warning that the disease may
yet show itself in dangerous form in almost
any part of the country not yet protected by
the autumn frosts, and an impressive argu-
ment in favor Of national sanitary board
with full lowers. OF course there is anoth-
er side to the question. Each State ought to
have what Maine and Massachusetts have
efficient Boards of Health, capable of
dealing with all emergencies likely to arise !:
and were they all so equipped there would be
little excuse for national interference But

1t, and the remissness of some OF the South

of those things which they yet do not wish
