OF course she looked to see who saw

MEXICO, Mo. Dec. 9.--We read
with modification, your synopsis Of
Rev? Magee's houndering attempt
at a vain apology for his late ma
circulation and graduation at Keeley
College, in the Sucker State. He
has analized and classified drunkards
into three classes which, when
stripped of all, (would be), scientific
analysis and brought down to plain
country talk, means old topers, oc-
casionaf drunkards and those who
get drunk to support, steady aud
straighten out their nerves, actify
their little brains, loosen their
tongues and keep them in the prac-
tice of such phantastic tricks as
makes simpletons grin, old women
stare and angels weep. He seems to
think that he is 1. defendant of the
man that made the ark weather the
storm, came out safely, turned
farmer, planted a Vineyard, rails, d
grapes. made wine and drank it,
and, for just one time, got drunk.
Now, Noah was not an alchoholic,
because there is no evidence that he
ever drank before or after that time.
and for the same reason he was not |
dipsomaniae or one who gets drunk |
occasionally and it was wholly i'm |
possible for him to be neurasthenie I
or one who was under great nervous
tension and drank to keep up with
the procession for there was no pro-
eession for him to keep up with and
if there had been the old navigator !
was too drunk to turn a wheel. He
was lying on his back and if he
moved at all he was feeling upward
for the ground. So, then, Noah don't
come under any of the analytical /
heads OF DR.. Keeley's graduates and ,
proves that Rev? Magee if he de-
scends from the old steersman is so
far off as by no means to hold the old
man responsible for his derelictions.
Since Noah belonged do neither
of these modern scientific classes,
where does he belong? We an
swer, he belongs to the class in
which all other rational beings be. /,
long. He got drunk because he
liked the taste of it. One point in
favor Of Noah, when he scolded |
Canaan for laughing, he did not i
deny that he was drunk, nor threaten |
to sue for libel, nor did he hunt up
Kelley to cure him of something that i
he affirmed had never been the mat
ter with him. While the navigator !
was not like our George w., could j
not tell lie, he didn't, but con-
fessed and vented his spleen on
Canaan. Some say he was convert
ed into negro, but this is hardly
probable. The old sIaveocracy, used
in this country to ease their con.
sciences for maintaining slavery
with what Noah said. This was the
nearest apology, and of as much
value as the argument that traces
irnnkardness to Noah. Drunkard-
ness is crime against God and
man, in the same category with
rape, robbery, theft. murder, galnb-
ling, adultery.
1t is a foster child of mans lust.
AS medicine whisky is good, SC me
say, in case of snake bite, but most
men take the antidote even in
Ireland where there are no snakes
since St. Patrick's time, as matter
of abundant caution. Rev? Magee's
lecture has one good point in it and
that is all. 1t is cheap means of
cheating newspaper men out OF lots
of advertising for the Kelley Insti-
tute. QuID.
