If the Post is correctly informed,
there is all organization in Was hing
ton known as the Congress ional Tenn
perance Society, composed mainly of
members of Congress, and presuma-
bly, having for its object the dissent
nation Of temperance principles, es-
pecially in Congressional circles. AS
to what this society has done for the
cause we have no definite information.
But one thing is quite plain to any
body with eyes and ears and nose-it
has not succeeded in stopping the sale
of rum over the bar of the House grog-
cry. On the contrary, the traffic goes
on in the most unblushing and pro-
miscuous way, and drinks are dispens-'
ed to all corners with as much freedom
and with little attempt at disguise or
discrimination as in any other public
barroom. Can't the Congressional
Temperance Society do something to
abate this national disgrace? Can't
somebody do something to stop sell
ing liquors at the Capitol altogether? I?
1t is no place for this sort of business.
1t doesn't comport with the dignity or
decency of the Congress of the United
States. ~ Washington Post.

The Cutting Of DR." Heath.
GreeRriue Neus, June 26.

"Dr." Heath. the man who was so danger
ously cut by John DanSby, at Batesville, ON
Tuesday afternoon, is still in II critical condf
tion. 1t is learned that after quitting DIR.
Ayers Indian combination at Anderson,
Heath organized Il show and Indian company
OF his own and gave exhibitions at small
towns in counties in the upper part of the
State. DanSby, the man who did the cutting,
is from Abbeville county, and was tried and
acquitted at the last term Of court in that
county for killing negro over game OF
cards. Heath engaged Dansby short time
ago us a "iGdler," and had made him treas
nrer of The concern. Heath and his party
took In nearly 500 at that place. They came
up on a Columbia and Greenville train on
Tuesday and hired hack here TO take them
to Ba!esville, On the way to Batesville Dams
by is said to have been very abusive and anX-
i0us to fight anybody. Heath tried To quiet
him. bnt failed and at last told Dansby he
would give him what he wanted" After
Heath was cut he ran to the hack and the
driver pulled him in and took him to doctor.

d. Kirkland preach in the morning ana Inc
Rev =. b. jackson at night. Both sermons
were fine and on Il high plane. DIR. kirk land
is a very impressive speaker and never loses
the attention of his congregation.
His sermon was based on the text OF scrip
ture where the angels announced The birth ot
Christ as a Savior. 1t was well delivered and
well received.
MIR. jackson is n favoiite not only with his
own people but with the community gcheral-
ly. lie had Il large congregation to hear him.
He preached with his accustomed Vlgor
which showed that he was fast resaining his
strength. His sermon was based on ST. Paul :
Injunction. that every one should lake heed
how he buildeth. The subject was Christian
Character. 1t was good sequel OF INC ais-
was greatly delighted both on account of the
sermon and the improved condition OF Mr..
Jackson's health. He is an earnest anu indc'
pendent worker and thinker, and always
breaches on u high plane.

Ba6yhood well says: 1t is general
lv without thought, seldom without in
tention to inflict pain, that a child's
past misdemeanors are kept fresh IN
his memory when they should be for
gotten; but that this very often IS
done by those who should do better,
sometimes even by parents, no careful
observer can doubt. That the harm
thereby done to the child is unrealized
makes it none the less real. In some
natures hard sullenness is engender-
ed; in others an unhealthy tendency
to brood over their own failures, and a
sense of discouragement rs to the fu-
ture. Forgiveness which does not for
get, nor allow the offender to forget, is
of small value.
