the entire cost of the latter was $780,

way of acknowledging the courtesy, the
manner of his waiting for the great
South Carolinian to charge" his glass,
as it was sometimes described then;
how that before drinking the great
Kentuclian said with the greatest good
humor referring to the debate from
which the two had but just before
emerged: "Well. Mr.. Senator, ! will
admit that you have had the better of
me to-day; but I'll be your match to-
morrow" But then they emptied their
glasses and walked away together in
familiar conversation. That was a fair
sample of ''tippling" at the capitol i'll

There was no bar; no attendants to
serve waiting multitude of persons.

have changed and customs with them.
Mr. Webster on occasions drank
heavily. 1t is related that just before
entering the senate to pronounce his
great speech in reply to Hayne, he re-

The Temperance Lesson Taught by .
Prize Fight.
The prize fight at New Orleans be-
tween sullivan and Corbett has in it a
lesson of temperance and right living.
The defeat of Sullivan, if rightly con-
sfdered, will carry TO the mind of every
young man a proof of the proposition
tnat sobriety promotes health and
physical siren 9Th, while debaucherv
and drunkenness injure the one and
sap the other. sullivan, in the hours
of chagrin and sorrow following the
contest, self-accusingly cried out to the
little group Of friends about him that
"booze" did it. Every teacher of phys
ical >nlture, every trainer of men for
contests in which bodily endurance is
to be taxed TO its utmost, will give tes-
timony that sullivan but stated the
truth as to the primal cause of his en-
tire collapse. The pugilist, long be-
lieved to be peerless in physical
strength and endurance, is noted for
his debaucheries. For several years
he has been hard drinker, indulging
in protracted drinking bouts with boon
companions. The result was that at
thirtysix he is defeated champion,
his career cut short, and he probably

On the other hand, Corbctt, who tri-
umphcd over Sullivan, is strict alb
staincr. He never drinks OF any intox-
tcant In his hour of triumph after the
New Orleans contest, when surrounded
by excited and admiriug throngs of
friends, and with champagne flowing
like water, he resisted every impor-
tunity TO drink; even the Zone glass
he was urged to take "in good fellow
ship" was stcadfastly declined with the
remark al guess this is good enough
for me, as he lifted glass of water to
his lips. Though one can have no SYM
pathy with prize fighter as such, vet
we can admire thoroughly and com
mend heartily his steady abstinence
amid class of men to whom refusal
TO drink is, as a general rule, tanta-
mount to n personal insult The ex-
ample is one that should be profitable
TO every young man. 1t often requires
q cousidera bic amount of moral cour-
age to say no" on a convivial occasion,
and thousands of men have taken the
first step in the drnkards path by
their unfortunate lack of will power.
The ultimate and inevitable result of
the drink habit in destroying physical
strength and undermining the consttu-
ton is fac which should be deeply
impressed upon the minds of the rising
generation. The young men of
America, as rule, must make their
way in life by thei' own eXertions
The great majority must do this by
labor-eithcr by hands or brain, or
both. No lesson can be more i'm

E1Ehcers will always maintain that the
ex-champion at his best was the SUI
perior in strength and endurance of the
man who so easily defeated him; but
his bodily strength had been impaired
by his drinking habits, and his vitality
impaired. Hence he met defeat where,
had this not been the case, he would
assuredly have been victor.
The fallacy is worldwide that drink
is strengthening. This is because
there is a fictitious access of exhil-
aration following the swallowing of
any Intoxicating liquor which is mis-
taken for an addition to the bodily
powers. The truth is the exact reverse
of the common belief. Liquor adds no
strength. nor does it add to the endur-
ance of the mans physical powers. II
is the Delilah which robs him of his
strength and makes him old when he
should be in his manly prime. Teach
ers in the schools of the land should
impress this lesson upon the minds of
the boys under their charge. 1t is part
of the great educational process which
our people must go through in order to
create majority public sentiment
against not only intemperance, but Its
feeder and support, the saloon. When
that sentiment is created, successful
effort will promptly follow to pulver-
ize the rum power Blade.
