The w. G. T. u. Sends Greeting to Gem
eral Dow.
LONDON, March S1.-England, in COM
mon with all the civilized world, is Gel
ebrating the Goth birthday Of General
Neal Dow, the great American temper
ance advocate. At Exeter Hall. this
city, there was an immense meeting in
honor of the veteran temperance agita-
tor. The United Kingdom Alliance and
the British Women's Temperance asso-
citation of England have enthusiastically
adopted the suggestion made by the
Worlds and National w. G. T. u, and
the picture of General Dow in 1851,
when he was mayor of Portland, Me-,
when the prohibirory law was adopted
in that state. and another picture repre-
senting him as he now appears are to be
seen displayed in all temperance resorts
throughout England. At the Exeter
hall meeting Lady Henry Somerset pre-
sided, and Miss Frances E. Willard,
Sir Wilfred Lawson, Rev. Hugh Price
Hughes, Mrs. Ormiston Chant and 9TH
ers signed a cable message which the
Associated Press was requested to for
ward to General Neal Dow, to be read
at the celebration which is taking place
at the city hall, Portland, Me. The
dispatch from the Exeter hall meeting
is as follows:
Greeting to General Dow.
To General Neal Dow: A mighty
throng gathered in Exeter hall crowns
your 80 benefcent years with love and
gratitude, for you can truly say:
"When the ear heard me, then it blessed
me; and when the eye saw me, it gave
witness to me, because delivered the
poor that cried and the fatherless and
him that had none to help him. The
blessing Of him that was ready to enrich
came upon me and caused the widows
heart to sing for joy. I put on right
eousness and it clothed me; my judg-
ment was robe and diadem. I was
eyes to the blind and feet was I to the
lame. I was father to the poor and
the Lause which ] knew not searched
out. Dob. xxx, 11-16.)
In addition to the above message to
General Dow, the following address to
the great American temperance advo-
cate will be adopted:
':sWe ale profoundly grateful for the
character that illustrates the spotless
purity of life, for career devoted to
the emancipation of the slave, the cause
of total abstinence and the enfranchise-
ment of women, and for the courage
that dared to be in the right two or
three and held steadfastly on its way
till crowned by the action Of that great
majority which gave constitutional pro-
hibition to the State OF Maine. ..8s
1--WE pray that ycur 80 bene fcent
years be rounded to 100, aud that YOU
may tarry with us until the mother
country enables her people to put the
liquor traffic under the ban OF the law,
and make home protection the watch
word of her politics.
s'We feel sure that birthday was
never SO universally observed without
distinction of nation, sect or party, and
we argue from this indication of the
cosmopolitan character of the temper
ance reform, its universal conquest
when the race out Of child hood has
grown" . 2s5

How an English Captain Put Out Fire
In the Nick OF Time
The Historical Records of the
Forty-Third Light Infantry" the ia
nous regiment which played a most
important part in English warfare
during the last quarter of the eigh-
teenth century and the early part of
the nineteenth, contains stirring in
cident of the prompt action which
averted tragedy, says the Manches-
ter Times
Worn out with hard march the brig
ade under Capt. Lloyd approached the
convent at Benevente, where the cav
airy and reserve still remained, hoping
for shelter. They were disappointed.
The convent was occupied by several
thousand infantry, and the lower gal
leries were so densely packed with the
horses of cavalry and artillery that it
was hardly possible for man to make
his way among them.
Two of the officers stood looking in
al the dubious prospect through the
single door that gave ingress and
egress. a sudden cry of alarm burst
from the lips of one. Look there!'
he cried, pointing over the backs of
the horses. At that moment one of
the inside wooden shutters burst INTO
flame. Horrified. the officers looked at
the burning shutter, and realized the
hopelesSncSs of the situation. IL would
be impossible to get the 5000 men and
horses out, and they must stand by and
see their comrades perish miserably.
There was no water near, and If there
were, how get at the fire through those
densely crowded horses?
The flames crcpt upward towards the
rafters. Good heavens Something
must be done!" cried Capt. Lloyd. And
then with motion To those outside to
be quiet, the brave captain leaped on
the back of the nearest horse, and
stepping from back to back of the ami
mails, ran to the blazing shutter, tore
il from its hinges and pitched it from
the window. Then he made his way
back To the door in the same way as
before.
So quickly was the act performed
that even the horses We're scarcely dis
turbed. The building was saved and
there was no panic, which would have
been as disastrous as the flames The
captains eyebrows and mustache We're
scorchcd but that was all. And
they'll grow again." he said. with a
laugh

PLAYED game upon Washington
restaurateur that for originality and
eff .ctiyeness has -ot been matched in
anV of - uime-honored stories of
Beau Hickman or any other eaters
of din ners. you foot the bills" He was
a we'll dressed, gentlemanly appear
ing person-any other would not have
secured much attention in the cafe
which he work ed-and he ordered a
dinner that proclaimed him an epicure,
if scoundrel. He commenced, says
the Post, by tipping the waiter lib
orally, which alone would proclaim
him one accustomed to secure the bese
of attentions; and as for wines, he
would have none but the best vintages,
which he picked with the taste of
connoisseur. The dinner was prepared
to the kings taste and appeared to
please him until the last course. At
that point he uttered an exclamation
of horror, and beckOncd frantically to
the waiter. That functionary not be-
ing sufficient to vent his wrath upon,
he summoned the head waiter, and
eventually the proprietor. Then he
pointed out the cause of trouble-a
dead fly in the dessert. Words could
not express his well-feigned disgust,
or the regret of the proprietor at this
unfortunate occurrence. The cook was
called up and roasted more effect
ually than he ever did his meats, and
the restaurateur offered every amend IN
his power. But the guest professed to
be almost overcome with nausea, and
could not eat any more-he had prob;.-
bly, had all he wanted. OF course the
proprietor could not think of charging
for such on unfortunate meal, and
was only too thankful that the matter
should escape the attention of the
other guests. But when the disgusted
guest had gone a bystander who had
watched the occurrence, remarked to
the proprietor: ''Why, didn't you see
him put that fly in the dessert?" And
the subsequent conversation was unfit
T for publication.

A Chinese Tea Legend.

There is a strange Chinese legend
concerning the tea plant. According To
the story, there once lived very pious
hermit who passed the greater part OF
his time in prayer and vigils. He was,
however, unable to keep awake as long
as he wished, and often found his eyes
closing while he was in the very midst
of his devotions. This naturally an
noyed him, and one day in fit of
wrath against this weakness of the
flesh, which he seemed unable to over
come. he cut off the offending eyelids
and cast them upon the ground. But
his action had been observed by god,
who Immediately caused a tea shrub to
spring mp from the spot where the eye
lids had fallen. 1t is in reference to
this, according to the legend, that the
leaves of the tea plant are shaped like
eyelidS, fringed with lashes, and pos
sess the power of warding off sleep.
