INEBRIATE ASYLUM.

Again, we expect great things from
inebriate asylums. They have already
done a glorious work. I think we are
coming at last to treat inebriation as it
ought to be treated, namely, as an
awful disease, self inflicted to be sure,
but nevertheless a disease. Once fast
ened upon a man sermons won't cure
him; temperance lectures will not Grad
icate it; religious tracts will not remove
it; the Gospel of Christ will not arrest
it. Once under the power of this awful
thirst the man is bound to go on, and
if the foaming glass were on the other
side of perdition he would wade through
the fires of hell to get it. Ayoung man
in prison had such a strong thirst for
intoxicating liquors that he cut off his
hand at the wrist, called for bowl of
brandy in order to stop the bleeding,
thrust his wrist into the bowl, and then
drank the contents.
Stand not when the thirst is on him
between a man and his cups. Clear
the track for him. Away with the
children; he would tread their life out.
Away with the wife; he would dash
her to death. Away with the cross; he
would run it down. Away with the
Bible; he would tear it up for the
winds. Away with heaven; he con-
siders it worthless as a straw. s'Give
me the drink Give it to me! Though
the hands of blood pass up the bow.
and the soul trembles over tie pit-the
drink give it to mel Though it b.
pale with tears; though the froth of
everlasting anguish float on the foam
give it to mel / drink TO my wife's
woe, to my children's rags, TO my eter

assigned is III health on the part of the

past they say her health

thought, would benefit her. She re-
turned 10 this country, however, little
improved by her trip. Under the advice
OF her mother and friends it was deemed
best Ihat the engagement should be
broken. Young Wilkinson has kept
very quiet concerning the matter, not
bringing II up even TO his most intimate
friends. That he feels sorely those who
know HIM best can testify.

BRENNAN, Tx, Oct. 11.-News has just
reached this city OF terrible crime COM
mitted four miles northwest of Cam
erou last Saturday which by some
means has been kept from the press, not
even the Cameron paper having mentioned it.
Your correspondent was given the particulars
by MIR. J. W. Davis, q brickmason and con-
tractor who lives here, but who has been at
work in Cameron for some time and who came
down to-day. He says that or last Sat-
urday night some party or par
ties set FIRE to the yard fence of an
old German who lived four miles northwest of
Cameron and then hollered Fire! frei" AS
the aged couple emerged from the door they
were fred upon by an ambushed as
sassin, who used shotgun loaded with
No. 5 shot. The husband was instantly
killed. and his wife was SO badly wounded in
the abdomen that the attending physician
says she will die So quiet was
the dark and bloody deed kept
that the news of it was not received in Cameron
for three days, and it was not until the
fourth day that the wounded woman
received medical attention. Mr.. Davis
SAYS the few German citizens OF Cameron held q
meeting when they learned the par
means to bring the perpetrators to
Justice, and it was from them that he heard the
facts. They will perhaps join in an effort to have
a sufficient reward offered for the apprehension
OF the perpetrator of the cowardly assassination
to make it to the interest of some one to investi-
gate the matter. As yet no arrests have been
made.
