Wine Drink ng.


The argument made by DIR. Bartol in
his sermon on Sunday. that it was inn
possible to find biblical warranty for
total abstention from the use OF intoxi-
eating beverages, would at any other
time than our own strike those who
heard it as an altogether uncalled-for as
sertion. But for some years past there
has been growing tendency, not only
to identify the Christian churches with
the cause of abstention from liqaor
drinking, which is worthy undertake
taking, but to attempt to make such alb
stention imperative under scriptural in
junction. This il altogether absurd.
When the founder of the Christian relig-
ion stated that his enemies might call
him a "wine bibber" because be drank
wine, he wished to show that he was
not an ascetic in his habits, but partook
freely, though moderately, of whatever
enjoyments life had to offer. At that
time it was certainly the custom for all
people who were not vowed to life Of
asceticIsm to drink wine, and that the
members of the Semitic race drank il 70
excess may be assumed by the ground
taken by Mohammed, whose religious
reform has entirely changed the meth
DDS of life in the east. in prohibiting the
use OF Intoxicating beverages. 1t ~ an
indication of the growth and develop
ment Of humanity that enlightened per-
sons of one period regard as grievous
offences defects that were hardly thought
worthy Of comment in preceding pa ges.

RAlTiMORE'S GRAIN TRADE.

areat Falling om-Soms Figures Showing its De-
cline.
BALTIMORE, January 21.-It is stated
by old members of the Corn and Flour
Exchange that the grain trade of this
port has not been so much depressed for
twenty years as it is at this time. The
entire receipts for the week ending to-
day were: Wheat. I'd, ,244 bushels; corn,
SO, 1852 bushels; oats, Q, 200 bushels, and
rye, 3,244 bushels. The sales for the
same period were: Corn. SOC, ,419 BUSH
els; wheat, 1 1852 ,0Oa bushels: oats, IL 600
bushels, and rye, 500 bushels.
Apart from all other causes some as
sert that the decline in receipts is due to
excessive elevator charges, while others
attribute it 10 the lack of foreign de-
nand. Whatever may be the cause it is
certain that the grain trade has fallen
off fearfully and so little interest is mani
Tested that members tickets, the par
value of which are g, 500. sold down to
S11O, and there are few seeking them at
that figure.

criticism Of the project has become so
bitter that organizers of that party assail
the general spirit OF the measure.
THE SOCIALIST PARTY GROWS.
II is contended that despite the law
the Socialist party grows. The Govern
ment is reminded of the failure of all its
efforts to arrest an intellectual move
ment by police laws, and a 4ssening of
repressive measures is demanded as the
wiser policy to control the Socialists.
The National Liberals blame Minister
Won Puttkamer as being responsible for
the imprudent features of the measure,
and may seize the occasion to try to get
him replaced by Herr Won Bennigsen or
some other leader in sympathy with
their party. The result of the discon-
tent among this important Government
group will be that the obnoxious propo-
sails will be abandoned, and the period
of the operation of the present law be
prolonged only two years. The 1dge-
bldH asserts that both Bavaria and Wur-
remberg opposed in the Bundesrath the
expulsion clause.

Mr.. Gravener is gentleman from
Covington, KY, and is of a quiet, genial
and affable disposition, being generous
all his workmen, and highly respected
by all who have the pleasure of his ac-
quaintance-
In speaking of the affair. it calls to
mind the occasion ..of the presentation
made upon last Christmas night. AS it
were, the nights work had proved one
of an unusual run of matter, and for
some unaccountable reason things were
greatly behind, the composition, as will
frequently occur, having made but slow
progress. At or near the Dawn of new
day, when all was a busy, exciting
scene, while the typos were clicking the
tiny pieces of metal and pur-
posely grumbling on all sides at the con-
dition of affairs to place the foreman
entirely out of patience and thereby
throw him completely off the track, the
chairman of the Office suddenly called
out "time." Instantly every printer
dropped his composing stick and
marched to the front, when Mr.. o. b.
Robinson came forward bearing in his
hands the present of which we write,
and with a few appropriate words suited
to the occasion deposited before the
bewiIdered recipient the object of SO
much assumed strife and tumult.
The boys had succeeded. For once
Mr.. Gravener, who was completely dunn
founded, was at a loss TO find words suffi-
cient to express his feelings, but stood
quivering with unexpressible emotion,
he having thought that, as he expressed
it, as the paper was late, the men were
about to take advantage of him and
enter on a strike. At this juncture
the managing editor, who perchance
was near by, stepped quickly to
| his rescue, and in well chosen language
responded heartily to Mr. Robinson's re
| marks, when cheer after cheer arose
from the many throats Of those partici
pating in honor of the cause.
| Soon peace once more reigned, but Mr..
| Gravener declares to this day that il wa'
one of the happiest events of his life.

Msndelssohn Ouiutette Club Concert.

Raleigh IN. c. News-Observer. Jan ii.
Every seat was occupied last night by
as fine an audience as ever assembled at
the opera house. The occasion was the
concert of the world famous Mendels-
sohn Ouintette Club of Boston, and Miss
Annie Carpenter, their soprano.
The programme consisting Of ten num-
beys. was almost doubled, as nearly
every number was redemanded. The
quartettes and quintettes played last
night were listened to with breathless
admiration. There is no other organiza-
ton which SO adequately interprets the
works of the great masters. Each one
of the soloists is an artist OF the first
rank.
Gustav Hille was rapturously ap-
plauded after his solo on the violin. He
Is one of the best violinists that has been
heard in this city. The fiutist delighted
all present with his sweet tones.
The veteran Thomas Ryan, as always.
pleased every one by the briiliancy and
sympathetic tones Of his clarionet, while
Blumenberg gave performanceon ON the
violincsllo. which was a revelation TO
most of the audience, as it has been the
general opinion of Raleigh people that
very little independent music could be
produced from that instrument; but this
gentleman brought forth the most deli
cate strains OF harmony from this IN
strument, without the accompaniment
Of any instrument, and displayed his
thorough proficiency in the mastery OF
the violencello, and the science of mu-
sic in all of its departments
Last, but by no means least, we must
mention the artistic singing Of Miss Car
penfer, who made a most favorable i'm
preston. both with her voice as well Al
her very handsome personality. She
was obliged to reappear after each of hel
songs. Her voice il exceedingly sympa

Judge Cooper Confirmed for the Supreme Bench
Court Decision.
JACKSON, MISS, January 21.-The re-
appointment of Judge I. C. Cooper to
the Supreme bench for the term of nine
years was confirmed. An important de-
cision was rendered by the Supreme
Court to-day in the case of this State
against the bondsmen of the penitentiary
lessees involving the sum of $50, 900,
said to be the amount due the State by
the original lessees, Messrs. Hamilton,

The courts decision releases the bonds
men, holding that the subsequent Iegis-
lation of 1884 and 1885, by which the
convicts were transferred to the Gulf
and Ship Island Railroad invalidates the
contract as far a. the liability of the
bondsmen is concerned. Congressman
John NJ. Allen was one of the principal
bondsrnen.
