The Rev. Dr. w. H. Furness writes
thus to the Boston Christian Register:
''Years ago we had in our church
here grand.niece of DR.. Franklin,
that native of Boston of whom Phila-
delphia is very proud. Her character,
tar more directly than the genealogi-
cal tree, attested her lineage. She
died at the advanced age OF 50,
kept her liberal faith, and
indeed all her faculties, her memory
even OF recent Incidents included. to the
last. / think her kind orthodox kins.
woman, with whom she dwelt, kept
her mind wide awake and active by
suggesting occasionally some objec-
tion to the old lady's liberal faith, ask
ing her once, for example, how she &C.
counted for the fact that there are so
many Presbyterians and so few Uni
tarians. Oh was the reply, broad is
the road that leadeth to destruction,
and many there be who go in thereat,'
&c. Once when l called to see her, she
told ME that one of her visitors had
asked her (rather an unauthorized
query) what was the amount of
her annuity. If tell you,' she an

stairs in the morning. Il say my
prayers then,' she said. 1T saves
time'-a touch of the Franklinian
economy that led her grand.uncle,
when he was a boy, to suggest to his
father saying grace over the pork
barrel. A few weeks before her death,
in going down stairs, she leaned so
heavily OH the baluster that her arm
broke. The physician who set it said
that, at her great age, the bone would
not knit. Consequently she could not

THERE is prodigious difference be-
tween the various proposed bills as a
matter of course, in their Importance.
This applies both to the Ministerial
measures and those introduced by pri-
vate members. Some of them concern
mere routine alterations, valuable enough
no doubt, but of little or no consequence
to the country at large. Some of them,
no doubt (unless this Legislature differs
from every other that ever was assem-
bled in the world) will prove merely
frivolous, others, on the contrary, deal
with vital questions and contemplate the
most thoroughgoing reforms. The coun-
try relies entirely on the good sense and
discrimination of the leaders of the
D Irty of reform to see to it that each
measure receives only an amount OF
time for it's consideration, proportiOnate
to it's importance.

L.F. Smith nn the Bulletin

Mr.. EDITOR In glancing over the
Bulletin, this evening, my eye happened
to impinge upon the following para
graph in Mr.. John F. Smiths essay:
d" Friends, 1 think, we have waited
too long. If we consider the enormous
proportions this liquor traffic has as
sumed, the vast capital invested in 1t,
millions upon millions of people depend
ing upon it's sale, and both church and
state largely supported by it, we must
not be surprised to find that all peremp-
tory laws, all sumptuary legislations are
complete failures. They are mainly so,
because, attacking personal liberty"
Permit me to re-write the paragraph,
in an amended form, from the stand
point of facts, figures, history and COM
mon sense, so that it may read:
+ "Friends, | think We have tritied
with this matter too long. II we con-
slider the enormous proportions this
LIQUOR traffic has assumed, the vast capt.
tai invested in it, the millions and mil
lions of people whose abject wretched-
sale, and Church and State largely
cursed by it, we must not be surprised
to find that peremptOry laws and sump-
tuary legislation are agitated and de-
manded by every man who respects
himself, cares for his family, loves his
country and seeks the well-being of his
race"
Such legislation is demanded, and it
will come about, in spite of all the
would. be erudite bunkum hurled against
it by phiIanthropists whose labors con-
sist in kicking against philanthropy,
wise men whose counsels are with the
destroyers of their race, writer's who
measure their arguments by their own
littleness of mind so that the more con-
temptible are their reasons the better
they appreciate them themselves-in
short, men of the ilk of Mr.. j. F. Smith.
The prohibition movement will "get
there" in due time. 1t is bound to win.
1t is backed by decency, common sense,
science, patriotism, virtue, honor, indie
pendence, liberty and truth. 1t is
marching on quietly, steadily, persist
emily, irresistibly And if Mr.. J. F.
Smith " essays" to stand in the way,
then it will be very bad for Mr.. John F.
Smith.

In connection with the supposititious
inexperlence of the present Legislature,
it has occurred to us that the following
facts might be of interest: Judge Wide
mann is the oldest member of the Legis-
lature, having served first in 1855 and
seven times since. Mr.. Hitchcock
served first in '58, and has been elected
six or seven times since Mr.. Wilder has
served every session except one since
1866. Mr.. Nakaleka has been a mem
Der five times. Messrs. Cecil Brown,
Rice and Castle four times, w. O..
