BEATEN ON THE STKEET-CKUSSINU VUESTTUN
Chicago, Nov. 8-The Supreme Court OF Illinois
has Just handed down decision In an appeal Oh
the Illinois Central Railway Company which contested
the right OF the city under an ordnance passed by
the HYDE Park trustees in 1887 to open Sixtyfourt
st. across their tracks. The Supreme Court held that
the city in opening the streets did not take the Zee
of the company. but simply an easement for the Use
of the street, and sustained the ruling OF the lower
court As six or seven other Isuits are pending 10
open similar South Side streets, this decision as
nrecedent will naturally settle them all In favor OF
th c,tv II will ultimately result in the opening
OF no less than twenty South Side streets across The
illinois Central tracks.

1SrEMPERAScE AND INSANITY.

A recent contributor to the Western
Christian Advocate writing OF lntemper-
ance and insanity, quotes Dr. Parchaffe as
giving the causes of insanity in 916 cases OF
which he had knowledge, and of these in
temperance was responsible for l64. he
quotes DR.. Griesinger, professor OF clinical
medicine and mental science in the Unlver-
sity of Berlin, as citing drunkenness as "one
Of the most important causes OF domestlc
troubles" to which a4l more or these cases
Of insanity were accredited. Ho turther-
more says, drunkenness stands midway
between psychical and physical causes. ltS
effects are very powerful and very comp:e3.
He adds: "On the one hand, the action OF
alcoholic excuses is principally, purely phys,
ical in part direct, by causing irritation and
change, in tn. nutrition of the brain, by the
development OF chronic stasiS within the
Uranium: in part indirect. by producing
irunkard's scorbutus, fatty degeneration OF
the liver ser. .ous gastric Diseases in short,
by complete ruin Of the constitution" He
then cites drunkenness as producing Impor.

brawls which drunkenness so frequently 90

which it causes, domestic discomfort, with
travail from the family, ruin in business,
and loss OF self respect which it must forca

scientific testimony which ought to warn all
:sers OF intoxicants OF the peril involved in
lie drinking habit in the way OF physical and

KEPT HIS PROMISE.

The celebrated Frenci General Cam
bronze, when he was common soldier, was
terribly given to the sin Of drunkenness.
One day, when he was drunk, he struck an
officer, and was condemned to death. His
Colonel however, who loved him for his
bravery, obtained his pardon on condition
that he would promise never to drink wine
or spirits again. Twenty-Five years after
wards the Corporal had become General,
and had immortalizei himself by his hsroic
retreat from Waterloo. Having retired in
to family life, he lived quietly in Paris, be-
loved and esteemed by all. His old Colonel
one day invited him to dinner to meet some
of his former comrades. The place of honor
was reserved for Camb-onne at the hosts
right hand. A highly pricsd wine was
brought in which was served only on grand
occasions
General" sail the old Colonel, "you must
tell us all the news" and he was just about
to fill Cambronne'S glass. The General
stopped his hand; the Colonel insisted.
But General, l assure you it is excel.
lent"
That has nothing to do with it." said
Cambronne eagerly. ut has to do with my
honor and my promise. Colonel-my prom.
ise as Corporal have you forgotten it:
Since that day not drop Of wine has touched
my lips. My word and my conscience are
worth more than YOUR wine"

last week, "to give you the real motivs

A Warm hearted Tar's Quaint Proposal

An old seaman, named Peters, stationed
on one of the United States cruisers in
the North Atlantic squadron, was man
of rough exterior but of a warm heart.
It's warmest corner was reserved for a
certain young ensign on board the same
ship, whom Peters worshipcd with un-
swerving constancy. One day it hap.
pened that an Impractical landsmen,
while attending to some duty in the rig
ging, lost his footing and fell into the
water. AS he was unable to swim, he
would probably have been drowned had
not an officer sprung after him and gal
lautly held him up until assistance came.
A letter from the Secretary of the Navy,
commencing in high terms this heroic
action, was sent to the brave rescuer and
read before the assembled ships COM
pany. Old Peters viewed the whole pro-
ceeding with feeling of jealousy, and,
after brooding over the matter some
days, he relieved himself in the follow
ing manner: "Mr. Bradley" said he,
sliding up to the object of his devotion,
''that there letter what the Secretary
wrote, that's fine thing for young man
to have. You ought to have one, Mr.
Bradley" "Why. yes, Peters," said
young Bradley, with his pleasant smile,
"that letter is, undoubtedly, thing for
any fellow to be proud of, but I'm afraid
1 don't quite see my way to getting one
like it." ''Mr. Bradley" answered
Peters, in hoarse tone, inviting conf
dence, "ter-morrow night, sir, I'll be in
the main chains, fussin' with somethin'
ornuther. P'raps I'll axerdeptally fall
into the water. Sich things have hap
pencd, as yer know yerself, sir. Then,
Mr.. Bradley, what's to hinder ye from
jumping arter me, like your mcssmate,
there3 1 guess ye'd have as good a
chance as him for one o them letters
from the Secretary" "There's only one
difficulty about the plan, Peters," said
Bradley, preserving grave countenance,
but inwardly much amused; "unfortu-
nately, you see, don't know how to
swim" "Sho! is that all, sir2" returned
Peters, undismayed; "that amt nothln.'
I'll hold you up till the boat comes. -

IN FAVOR OF sTERNER MEASURES.

The Canadian Churchman takes the view
that excessive drinking is a symptom Of def
cient moral sense. which is in itself the root
of all crin,inality. the cause Of all crime, and
further, that this deficient moral sense is
largely due to the light penalties inflicted for
drunkenness. "A sentence on drunk is a
matter Of joke and merriment," says our
contemporary. "A few days confinement
just long enough to sober up-and the person
is let loose on the public again. The punish
ment Of this crime of putting ones self in
position to commit other crimes ought to be
Increased thousandfold." OF course this
measure of increased punishment is meta
phorical. Ten days is the usual allowance
for what is known in New York police courts
as "a drunk and disorderly." A ten-thou-
sand-day sentence would confine man for
generation, and be in excess of the require
ments. 1t is high time, however, that in our
courts of law and in practical dealing with
drunkenness the offense should be deemed a
serious one and its humorous element, if it
has any such, be ignored. A man who gets
drunk puts himself in the way of committing
every known sin, and the legal punishment
seldom conforms with the weight of the
transgression.-New York Observer.

A pl.RE RELIGION.

A religion with no Christ in it rs per.
sonal Saviour from all sin is not worthy
the name OF religion.
A religion which does not purport holy
heart and life, and which does not set forth
or show power sufficient to enable one to
practice its p-ccepts, is not the true religion.
A religin that does not afford strength and
relief under atflctioa, JOY in sorrow, help in
time of need, deliverance in time Of temp
tation, and satisfy the longing of the human
heart, is not the religion of the Bible.
a religion which wc cannot freely and
safely recommend to everybody, and which
will not fit every case, is not the religion of
our Lord Jesus Christ.
A religion which we do not enjoy, bat
which brings US into bondage and only
makes US miserable, is no better than no re-
ligion.
A religion in which we are not kept un-
spotted from the world and enabled to show
q consistent and unSelfsh life, is not the
pure and undefled religion.
Anyone who practically embraces the re-
ligion Of our Lord Jesus Christ will have no
use for any of the new-fangled religions Of
today, for "the old-time religion satisfies in
every respect. Anyone who claims to have
the religion Of our Lord Jesus C1-ist, and Is
Lot saved and kept from SHINING, and does
not find happiness and satisfaction in IT, is
either u hypocrite or greatly deceived

IlseAiGus Observation Train.

A novel style of observatory has been
devised by an ingenious Manitoban who
is of opinion that the scenery of this
country is such that passengers on rail-
road ought to have better facilities for
seeing it. Three or four sections of a
car roof are raised to height of twelve
to eighteen inches above the ordinary
level, forming sort of looming tow
err" the sides of which arc glazed. Sec
ond story seats are provided in these
sections where passengers can sit and
enjoy the scenery in any direction. If
perfectly heated and ventilated such a
car would be most desirable, but it is a
question whether the added weight in
the upper part of the car would affect
its safety, and whether the considerable
motion in swinging round curves or run
ming over rough tracks would affect
many travellers very unpleasantly.-CA''

Hard Fight Of Two Birds.

The most extraordinary occurrence Of
birds fighting came under my notica
writes W. Hewlett from Newmarket,
England, to the Pittsburg Dispatck.
Rev. 81. Moon, walking along High
street, had his attention drawn to a PEI
culiar noise in the air, and upon looking.
up saw several of the common swifts
dashing about and uttering peculiar
noise. Presently two of them commenced
fighting, and with such extraordinary
ferceness did they grab and claw each
other that they both came to the ground
and were picked up by the reverend
gentleman and brought to me-. still
locked together. -
I examined them, and found the
claws of each bird fairly imbedded In
the breast Of the other, and SO deep
that they could not extricate themselves.
and for a long time they remained in
this exhausted and helpless condition.
Finally separated them and washed on
the blood and set them free; it was .
long time before they could fly. {

THE CONSUMPTION OF REER.

"Do you know" said a dyspeptic-looking
man at the lunch counter in the Astor House
a few days ago, that we have no lager beer
nowadays!. This beverage that is sold as
weeks time by the. big brewers. The use of
duplex air-pumps has almost completely rev.
olutionized the brewery business" 'Brewers
have to make their beer quickly in order to
keep up with the enormously increasing de-
mand," replied the dyspeptic's friend. II am
told on the authority Of a careful statistician
that the increase in the manufacture OF beer
in this city alone. in the year ended April 80
last was more than 3,00O. 900 barrels. New
York City now consumes annually trihe
more than 30,OO0, 900 barrels of beer. At
