torcal gifts early attracted public attention,
and were recognized by his election to tho
Lower House Of the National Congress.
But following the customs Of the times ho
became addicted to the use of strong drink.
The habit grew upon him until he became
alarmed at himself. January :, 1872, he
entered the House in Il state of nervous
Ncitcmcnt that was alarming. Approaching
governor Briggs, of Massachusetts,, his

'ciylng encouragement, he there in tho
presence of his tcllow-members, signed tho
sotnl abstinence pledge. Soon after, he
signed the pledge again in the presence Of IA

The agricultural department makes
public q dispatch from the Uni cd States
minister at Rome. in which he says he has
been unable to obtain the removal OF
the restrictions against American pork. al
though Italy is now admitting pork from

ceptcd tho strange theory that the intro.
dtictton OF American meats and breadstuffs
in competition with the articles Of food
produced ut homo is q calamity to the

Is In direct proportion to tho %cheapness Of

would also regard 1t as a calamity If we
provided them with food entirely free of
