A GOOD MANS DEATH.

The intelligence of the death of
Rev. Phillips Brooks, Protestant Epis
copal Bishop of Massachusetts, was
received throughout the country on
Tuesday last with the profoundest
sorrow. In his removal, not only
has the Episcopal Church lost its
most prominent American represen-
tative, but the nation itself has
sustained an irreparable loss. The
broad and liberal spirit OF Christianity
that distinguished him, has made his
name in every land where the English
language is spoken, the synonym OF
faith that feared God and loved
humanity. In this earnest faith, in
his simplicity, in his true manliness,
lay his chief distinction, to which
were added the graces of a gentle
man, the convincing eloquence OF a
true disciple Of Christ. "It," said
Daniel Webster, 1--WE work upon
marble it will perish; if we work
upon brass, time will efface it; if we
rear temples, they will crumble into
dust; but if we work upon immortal
minds, if we Undue them with prin-
ciples, with the just fear of God and
love of our fellow men, we engrave
upon these tablets something which
will brighten to all eternity"
1t was this all-pervading love OF
his fellow man that crowned the life
work of Philip Brooks. Than this,
hath no man a higher reward.

IT is an undoubted fact, that the
wives of many prominent American
statesmen have been wise counsellors
and safe advisers OF their husbands.
Mr.. Carlisle is a recent case in point.
"Few men," writes a friend who
knows Mrs. Carlisle, lever lived who
owed more to a woman than he to
Ms. Sarlisle, and she has always
been intensely ambitious for him.
It IS likely that she will have great
weight in deciding the question OF
his going into the Cabinet of Mr..
Cleveland, as she has done most
others in Mr.. Cariisle's political
career. Mrs. Carlisle known public
men and affairs as well as Mrs. Hetty
Green understands railway matters.
She is neither young nor handsome,
but she is very agreeable, and always
knows what IS best for John Griffin
Carlisle"

ABl's'.


the + .e of the Woman's
Christiar. Temperance Union, have
in so many ways commended them
selves to the good opinion OF all
rejecting people, that it may be
truthtuily said, that effective temper
ance work is now confined exclusively
to that organization. AS long as
their organized effort is directed
against the use of intoxicating liquors
as a beverage, accompanied by the
retormatory and charitable work
rendered necessary by their prevalent
use, they must in every community
have large and influential constitu
ency. In picturing the curse OF
intemperance their appeals cannot
be too pathetic, or their most Jealous
effort be chargeable with the suspl
cion of fanaticism.
But what when they embrace with
in their anathemas the fragrant
weed" and charge as Mrs. Amies,
the president of the Philadelphia
Union. did last week that tobacco
effects men morally, mentally and
physically, and the reason young
women in co educational institutions
take high prizes over the young men
is because the women do not use
tobacco or liquors"
Can the Union successfully defend
so bold declaration, and is 1t not
open to the charge of exaggeration!
No one will deny that the lmmod-
crate use of tobacco is an evil, that
the chewing" habit which is pecull-
arly an American one, is filthy and
disgusting practice, not detensihle
by any rule, either of morals or good
manners.
We remember seeing few years
ago in the Methodist Church at
Chestertown, Md, a stone spittoon
in every pew.
We recall also, what the jaDltor OF
DIR. Smiths church in Baltimore once
said in our hearing, when asked why
he covered the platform of the church
with spittoons on the occasion of the
anniversary of the Young Mems
Christian Association-to keep the
preachers from splitting tobacco juice
on the carpet.
These are extreme evidences OF
course of the vulgarity OF the "cheN-
ing" habit. No one will undertake
to excuse or defend them.
But what OF that other habit by
which men convert their mouths and
nostrils into chimneys for the passage
of the fragrant odor?
We can't defend the excessive
smoker of tobacco, nor the excessive
consumer of coffee, or OF any other
stimulating beverage, the moderate
use of which our doctors, as well as
our wives, mothers and daughters
sanction.
But we know that the moderate
use of tea and coffee, and also OF
tobacco IS sanctioned not merely by
the usuages OF good society, but by
as well by good morals. That there
are confirmed tea and coffee drinkers,
and tobacco smokers, who are
neither physically dwarfs, nor men
tally imbeciles,
Put in the same category with tea
or coffee, how then can the use OF
tobacco be denounced as immoral,
implous, and not to say criminalP
We are not defending the smoking
habit as in any sense essential to
mans mental happiness, or physical
growth, but simply waiting to hear
why the smoking of cigar needs to
be defended morally.
The vital question remains, is
tobacco moral as well as physical
evil?

IT was a graceful and manly act
upon the part OF Mr.. Cleveland to
attend the funeral OF Ex-President
Hayes. That the President elect, IN
the midst of his preparations for
organizing his administration, should
make long journey in midwinter
in order to testify his regard for a
predecessor in the Presidential office
was highly creditable to his sense OF
public propriety and personal
dignity 1t will be applauded by
many Democrats, as well as by Re
publicans, and will go far to extin
guish the prejudices and passions in
the Democratic mind concerning the
electoral dispute in 1877. Mr..
CIeveland's action is a singing
rebuke to those members of his
party who have been in the habit OF
abusing Hayes and who withheld
from him the respect and recognition
which was due him as an occupant
of the Presidency. The fact OF the
matter is, that Mr.. CIeveland's after
s5a@se at the funeral was a sic

ANOTHER VICTIM,

The assertion is frequently made,
but always we have thought with
exaggeration, that intemperance is
on the increase among fashionable
women IN this country. That the
drinking habit is insidiously creep
ing into the highest social circles,
especially in our large cities where
the privacy of high life" conceals
and fosters the indulgence i'll the
cup that inebriates.
Without expressing any opinion
as to the general prevalence of the
drinking habit among so called
fashionable women, it is the fact, that
every now and then some unfortu-
nate case comes to the surface in
high social circles, that at least gives
suspicion of truth to the charge.
Such a case is that of Mrs. Page, the
wife of DR.. Emmett d. Page, a
prominent specialist OF Brooklyn,
New York, where her mother has
applied to the court tor a commission
to take charge of her person and
effects, upon the ground that her
daughter is an habitual drunkard
and unable to take care of herself.
Mrs. Woodwork, the mother OF Mrs.
Page, alleges in her petition that she
had tried in vain to correct the
terrible habit OF her daughter, but
whenever left alone she would inva-
riably return to her "tipsy" condi,
ton.
Isn't one such case as this in
community sufficient to create a
sentiment there, that should Danish
