court with being intoxicated is credited
with saying that ''he would not think
anyone drunk unless he ran up against
a lamp-post."
WILLIAM ILL, the greatest brewer in
America a few years ago, in giving up
the business, said: II have found it i'm.
possible to keep sober men in my
brewery. 1t is a manufactory of drunk
ards in constant operation! Every man
is a beer barrel in the morning and a
barrel of beer at night! will have no
more of it!"-Narrative.

A GOOD TALKER AT BREAKFAST.
Literature Claims His Existence, But None
Meet Him In Real Life.

A writer in the Buffalo Courier repre-.
ing question: Did you ever know any
one who could converse brilliantly al
breakfast" The question is a good
one. Why, indeed, should not conver-
sation be brilliant at the breakfast
table, when the brain is fresh, yester-
days worries have all been slept over
and to-days have not yet come? And
were not the genial Autocrat, Professor
and Poet speakers at breakfast table,
where surely the conversation was
nearly akin to brilliancy? There are
other books that give, as early morning
talk, conversations which their authors
think worth printing, and now and
then in the journal or the letters of u
great man there is a reference to a
breakfast-table discussion.
Yet, what one of us has ever really
game in contact with brilliant talk at
eight a. m? The very fishballs and
buckwheat cakes are humble, lowly,
reassuring viands that somehow do not
inspire the eloquence that comes with
the pungent flavor of the venison, the
cool self-confidence suggested by the
orange ice, the epigrammatic terseness
of the after-dinner coffee, the genial
sunniness of the fruits and the sweet
ness of the candies.
Even clothes make a difference, for
more or less, We always talk on the leve!
Of what we wear-unconsciously, per-
haps-and it is one thing to eat with a
watch in your hand and the work be.
fore you, and another with the watch in
your pocket and the work accom-
plished-which is the difference to most
men between their breakfast and late
dinner.
We are reminded, to be sure, that
there are social functions known as
breakfasts" and the talk must be
somewhat interesting and clever or
they would have long ago died out. But
these "breakfasts" take place at noon,
and the buckwheat cakes and fishballs
have been privately and individually
served to the guests some hours before,
and so these are breakfasts in name
only.
There is, too, another evidence that
the animal nature has the better of the
spiritual usually at the breakfast hour
in the circumstance that the French,
who could not bear to be conversations
ally dull at meal, take the first one of
the day in bed. How very clever they
are, and what reputation for unfail-
ing geniality, quickness and fascina-
tion this one custom perhaps has given
to them. We believe that the most
glowing description of brilliant talller
would be that he (or she) was so at the
breakfast table.-Rochester PostEX-

Delightful Blundering.

A little boy in the course of his read
ing lesson came to the word widow"
and called it window" word more
familiar to him. The teacher, who was
acting as examiner, corrected the blum
der, and then, wishing to improve the
occasion, put the question: What is
the difference between widow and
window? The boys answer began
"You can see through a window, but
and then stopped. The amusement
plainly visible on the teachers face
prevented this miniature Sam Weller
from completing the contrast.
Now, the blunder here, so far as it
was blunder, was entirely due to the
teacher. He did not mean to impress
on his pupils the transparency of a
window as contrasted with a widow,
but the difference in spelling between
the two words.-Blackwoo Maga-

such a drunken wretch as l be the
chief of this honorable race? Can
succeed to the g at Uncas? l will
never drink again
He kept this resolution, but John
Trumbull, then a little boy, thought
there would be no harm in persuading
him to break it. He shared the pre-
vailing contempt for Indians, and
though he had heard the story of
Zachary's reformation, he only half
believed it.
In the beginning of May, the annual
election of the principal officers of the
colony was held at Hartford. Mr..
Trumbull attended officially, and it was
customary for the chief of the Mohe-
gans also to attend.
Zachary had succeeded to the rule of
his tribe, and as Mr.. Trumbull's house
was conveniently near, the old chief
was in the habit of coming, few days
before the election, and dining with his
brother governor.
One day, when they were at dinner,
the boy was struck by a mischievous
desire to try the sincerity of the old
mans repentance. There was excellent
home -brewed beer on the table, and
John looked up and said:
Zachary, this beer is good. Won't
you taste it?"
The old man dropped his knife and
fork, and leaned forward, his black eyes
sparkling with indignation.
John" said he, you don't know
what you are doing. You are serving
the devil, boy! Don't you know am
an Indian? If 1 taste your beer, L
couldn't stop till got to rum, and made
myself the drunken wretch your father
remembers. John, while you live never
tempt a man to break good resolu-
tion. n."-Youth's Companion.

Girls, Don't Marry Drinkers.

1t is sad to hear a maiden at the hy-
meneal altar, promising to take a man
''for better or worse" and then see him,
through drink, go from bad to worse,
and from worse 10 worse, while, in her
grim despair, she yet clings to the
wretch who disdains his every vow, and
wrecks her every hope. Of all wonanly
infatuations, the acme of delusion is
reached when a girl marries a man to
reform him. The world is painful y
full of wives who. in bitter disappoint-
ment, mourn the folly of trusting their
fortunes to one bound in the adaman-
tine chains of an unappeasable appetite.
Of all home destroyers and heart break
ers, the drunkard waves the palm

TO ABDUCT LINCOLN.
A Bold Plot of Wilkes Booths That Mis-
carried by Mere Accident.

About the middle of March, 1868,
word was received from those along the
underground route" that the roads
and the time were propitious for un-
dertaking the abduction, and that the
horses would be held in readiness for
the relays. Accordingly, at Mrs. Sur
rats Booth assembled his assistants,
John H. Surratt, Payne, Atzerodt, Her.
old, ,O'Laughlin and Arnold, all mounted
Tor the kidnapping.
Between two and three o'clock in the
afternoon they left the house and made
for the Seventh street road, where It
was reported that the president would
pass that evening on his way to the
Seventh street hospital.
Mr.. Lincoln would frequently ride out
to the soldiers home on the Seventh
street road, entirely unguarded or, if
in carriage, with only driver, much
against the protestatio&s of his friends,
who were fearful for his safety. The
coach of the president was to be seized
i'll secluded spot on the road near the
city, and Surratt was to jump on the
box (as he was more familiar with the
roads, and to make for ct. b." col
lection of two or three houses and
stores on the underground route"
about % miles southeast of Washing
ton, and thence to the Potomac. The
carriage was to be abandoned as soon
as the city limits were passed. Relays
of fast horses were in readiness, and
the boat at Port Tobbaco was
prepared to cross the river.
AS the distance from Washington to
Port Tobacco creek was about 40 miles.
the intention was to make the entire
trip the first night, and, crossing the
river, to be within the lines of the con-
federacy at the expiration of ? + hours.
The plan was not so ridiculously alb
surd as at first glance it appears. 1t
was not a difficult matter at that time
to pass the pickets stationed at the
navy yard bridge, and once in the
country, where friends were willing,
fresh horses ready, and federal sol
dIers few, the chances of reaching the
Potomac in safety were not unfavor
uble.
The plot failed because Mr.. Lincoln
did not go out on the Seventh street
road on the afternoon expected, Secre-
tary Chase going in his stead. Booth
and his companions returned to Mrs
Surratt's disappointed, disgusted and
enraged. Such favorable oprortuni-
ty would not likely occur again, and
the cOnSDiratOrs diSbanded. Surratt
went to Richmond, Arnold secured Il
position at Old Point (near Fort Mon
roe) and O'Laughlin returned to Balti-
more; but Payne, Herold and Atzerodt
still hovered about their leader await
ing further developments, living at
Washington at his expense.-Victor
Louis Mason, in Century.

stands a Menace and Foe to Every

thing That Would Advance Humanity.
Everywhere, at all times, where men
and women are moving to uplift human
ity and make the world a brighter and
sweeter place to live in, they come, soon
or late, face to face in a grapple with
that black-visaged foe, the liquor traffic.
In whatever line the effort may be,
there stands that enemy entrenched in
law and custom across the pathway.
Is it missionary work among the
heather, there is the rum trade to null
lily and undo all that may be done; is
it industrial advancement, there is the
saloon to absorb the lions share Of
wages and paralyze all hopeful effort;
is it political publication, there is the
dram shop to poison and debauch the
springs of civic life; is it educational
progress, again the groggeries, outnum-
bering the schools three to one and teach
ing their lessons of vice and shame day
and night the week round. Always that
hateful and hideous beast in the way to
destroy and devour. When shall long

AppallingIy Near.

Our fair city came appallingly near
lying in ruins last night
A fire broke out in an ash barrel in
the rear of the residence of our fellow
townsman, Mr.. Balaam b. Binns, and
had it not been for the fact that the
ash barrel was situated about 100 feet
from any other building and that there
was no wind blowing and it was rain
ing, and had not Mr.. Binns discovered
the fire and put it out in its incipiency.
it might have been our sad duty to-day
to record frightful contlagration such
as the city has never known and such
as we pray heaven it may never know.

A Marked Contrast,

The contrast between the condition
of the drinker and that of the dunk
seller has been too conspicuous to be
ignored, and it speaks eloquently of the
profits of the unholy traffic. The drink
er and his family in rags, while the
drink seller is clothed in jewels and vel
vets, afford a contrast that should keep
any man from contributing to the
sellers luxury at the expense of his own
prosperity.-The People.

ZACHARY.
A Temperance Lesson from an Indian
Chief of New England.

In the wars of New England with the
Indians, the Mohegan tribe early be-
came friendly to the whites. Their ia
vorite ground was on the banks of the
Thames river, in Connecticut, between
New London and Norwich, and their
government had become hereditary in
the family of the celebrated chief, I'm
cas-.
The father of John Trumbull, the
historical painter, used to buy fur from
several Indians of the tribe, one of
whom was Zachary, an excellent hunt
er but as drunken and worthless an In
dian as ever lived.
When this man was over so years old,
several members of the Indian royal
family died, and he found himself with
only one life between him and the
chieftainship. The thought sobered
him, and he said to himself: "How can
