ALL of the 632 ministers of the Free
church of Scotland are abstainers, as
are also the nearly GA, 900 members
SIX murders have been committed
under the influence of cider in Itch
field county, Conn, during the last ten
years.
FROM the report of the chief of police
there is a beer or wine shop in Berlin
for every one hundred and eighty-tive
citizens. including women and children.
THE Pennsylvania railroad employees
at Columbi Pa, numbering six hun
bred men. have been notified that they
must not drink when on duty or they
will be severely disciplined.
The East Tennessee Railroad Com
pany have issued an order requir-
ing abstinence from the use of intoXi-
eating drinks on the part of their en-
ployes; also that they shall while in
the company's service keep away from
places where intoxicants are sold, and
lend their influence TO keep others
away.

gramme of the new house of commons.
1t is reported that local option will

an unusual number of public houses
are offered for sale. The temperance

On the basis principle of absolute
prohibition. Gen. Bidwell says, in his
letter of acceptance of the nomination
for president by the prohibition party,
the danger of monopolistie tendencies
menacing the government is not so
great as that of the destructive results
sure to come from the liquor traffic. 1t
is the constant menace of labor, which
creates the wealth of the nation. and
the traffic is now sapping aud impover-
ishing the very foundation of the ma
tional fabric.
THE Vermont liquor laws are some-
thing wild and terrible" remarked a
commercial traveller. But some
of the smart hotel proprietors
get ahead of IT, The law pro-
vides a fine of fifty dollars for
the first violation of the law, FIVE
hundred dollars for the second, and two
years in the penitentiary for the third.
These bonifaces run the bar in their
own name for the first two weeks, sur
render themselves, and are fined fifty
dollars. Then the clerk takes his
turn, is fined fifty dollars, and yields
control of the bar to the head bellboy,
who in turn transfers the reins of au-
thority to the porter. And so on in
definitely, all that it costs being a fifty
dollar fine every other week"

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
Kentuekian 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 fair
sample of tippling" at the capitol in
those days.
There was no bar; no attendants to
serve a waiting multitude of persons.
A single servant or messenger" did it
all; and so quietly, with such gentility,
that | could not at the time help being
interested. and have ever since wished
that the custom might have been kept
up. But times have changed. Men
have changed and customs with them.
Mr.. Webster on occasions drank
heavily. IL is related that just before
entering the senate to pronounce his
great speech in reply to Hayne, he re-
inforced himself by taking nearly a
full glass of brandy, which was his
favorite ''tipple" whenever he felt the
need of something to assist his staying
powers. 1t was no unusual thing for
public men then to take their drains
with regularity. There were those
.vho inhibad moro freouentlV than
was useful, and it was this that led to
the famous Congressional Temper
ance Society with Senator Wilson,
who, it is said, never drank, as the ac-
tive head. Washington Star.

As seen there are more liquor saloons
New York and Brooklyn than pub
lic school buildings in the state, while
the entire cost of the latter was $50
100000 less than the annual receipts of
the saloons. In one month and nine
teen days the saloons received as much
for liquors as was paid to the 81, 9ss
sehool-teaehers for the entire year
The total expenditure for schools in
1891 tsl7,0l2, $3.50 was only 81 per cent
of the cost of the saloons in these cit
les. while the money paid the latter
would provide for the education of p
s24.2 42 children, or nearly twice the
numbe of pupils now enrolled in the
state. The cost of the schools per in
habitant of the state was So st, against

cupation rs a professional liberator. He
crossed over TO Mexico to take hand in
the uprising headed by Carravajal against
the Church party. The scheme failed. and
Wheat, Ioath TO doff his regimentals cslst
lots ia with the flibuster Walker. who
had been his college classmate at Nash
vile. Hecarried re-enforcements and arms
TO Walker at Nicaragua after the defeat
of the filibusters at Riyas. and while there
was blown from the deck of an exploding
steamer, but swan ashore taking a
wounded man with him.
Meanwhile another and a more power
full uprising was afoot among the repub-
lcans in Mexico, and Wheat offered his
sword TO Alvarez. the champion Of the Lib
erals against Santa Anna and the church
He was appointed general Of artillery, but
Alvarez resigned without fight and took
his well filled gold chests and his favOrite
officers to a peaceful hacienda far from
the madding turmoils of revolution and
proceeded TO take a rest. Wheat soon tired
of the monotony, and hearing from afar
the rifle blasts of Garibaldi's carbonari
piercing the quiet air of sunny Italy, be
crossed the ocean for a chance 10 polish up
his liberating sword once more.
Garibaldi gave him all the chance he
wanted, and he went through battle and
skirmish displaying the magnificent cour-
age, the rare horsemanship and the per
sonal chiyalry of the cavalier He was
close to Garibaldi and in his confidence,
and the enthusiastic Latins called him the
American Murat." He saw the thing
through in Italy to the point where Carl
baldi crowned Victor Emanuel king, and
then set his face homeward TO NIX in the
great fight OF the age, the civil war.
Returning through Paris, Wheat was
presented at Napoleon's court. Soon after
ward he was strolling in the Bots de
Bologne with friend schooied in the OPP
pressive. not TO say suppressive, shadow Of
royalty. The Empress Eugene happened
TO be in the park with her retinue. and the
royalist, for fear of making a break, pro
posed that Wheat and himself should back
off from the divine circle that hedges in
the crowned pates and retire. Wheat had
no lack OF respect for the situation, but
didn't see the need of such squeamishness,
and went his way with gallant salute
that brought a nod and smile in return
from the proud Castilian who shared the
throne of France.
On landing in America Wheat went at
once to his old chieftain, Gen Scott, but Of
course couldn't agree with the old mans
view Of coercion against state rights, and
crossed the lines TO Richmond. As an ex-
general of Italy and of Mexico, to say moth
ing Of the other claims, he naturally ex-
pected something at the hands Of Jefferson
Davis He got only rebuff, and in his
chagrin started for Pensacola TO enlist as
a private in battery led by his younger
brother, John Thomas Wheat. He passed
through New Orleans on the way, and Gen
Twiggs halted him TO help organize the raw
levies locking to the Confederate camps

Distinguished senators who Used to Take
Their Teddy.

Distinguished senators Who Used to Take
Their Teddy.
Somewhere late in the forties or early
In the ffties, which is far enough to go
back even if one could go farther or there
was utility in more remote inquiry, /
remember to have seen Mr. Clay and
Mr. Calhoun tipping" as l presume
it would now be styled, in the old SEN
ate chamber, now the United States
supreme courtroom. 1t was behind the
vice presidents chair-a small space
where was a table only large enough
for tray, on which were placed a
pitcher Of water, a single black bottle
containing good article of whisky a
bowl of sugar, spoon or two, a few
glasses, a plate Of crackers and an
other of cheese. This clay out would
suffice for a day-perhaps longer.
There were days, it is probable. when
1t would need replenishing, but Tip
ping by senators in those DAYS in
comparison with the ''cold tea" and
other appointments at the present time
can be inferred.
On the occasion of which l speak, the
two distinguished senators met after
debate which ! well remember. their
manners and bearing being of the high
est type of gentlemen of those times.
The meeting was doubtless by COM
mon impulse. though little after the
fashion of Edmunds and Thurman in
more recent days. Mr.. Calhoun, who
always drank sparingly, babe Mr..
Clay to pour first, and well remem-
her the decorousness and natural polite
ness with which it was done, Mr.. Clay's
