A Drurkard's Sermon.

CAristian Herald.
Probably no more eloquent or dram
attic sermon on the sin Of drunkenness
s,as ever delivered than that to which
small gathering OF drinking men list
ened In New Orleans bar-room recent
ly. The Picayune OF that city tells the
story. The drinkers-a group OF we'll
dressed young men with plenty OF
money-were standing at the bar, when
a poor, miserable specimen of tramp
pushed open the swinging doors, and
with bleared eyes, looked at them appeal
ingly. They ordered drink for him,
paid for it, and then boisterously de-
manded that he make speech. After
swallowing the liquor, the tramp gazed
at them for an instant and then, with
a dignity of eloquence that showed how
far he had fallen in the social scale, he
began to speak.
"Gentlemen," he said II look to-
night at you and at myself, and it seems
to me 1 look upon the picture of lost
manhood. This bloated face was once
as young and handsome as you rs.
This shambling figure onced walked as

The tramp ceased speaking. Th

chilled by the cold. But since that
time stimulation of::thought has caused
the great heart of the world to throb
with increasing power until tho feeling
OF a common humanity thrills in some
degree even those most separated by
birth and wealth. But against the
tendency of the people to think and
act, hope and accomplish, the proud
and stubborn spirit of Spanish Grandee-
ism has stood out resolutely. The ris-
ing tide of human aspiration cannot
be withstood. If a government, even
though hoar with age or crusted with
heroic deeds, try to turns deaf ear to
the cry of the poor for lie and liberty,
for education and hope, the cry will not
die out but its pleading tone will be turn
ed into the fierce and fateful growl OF
a cornered beast. Thus has it been
with Spain. Far moro organised than
Nihllisn in Russia, is Ansrchism in
Spain. The nation is honeycombed
With lawless sentiments. The men IN
power are under the hopeless necessity
OF guarding against the home popula-
ton as ii it were an invading army.
No other government IN Europe, not
even Russia, is in so serious a condl-
tion. Spain stands revealed before the
world a. not having controlled the
growth OF hope and thought, but as
having withs.ood it. The inevitable
disaster draws nearer each day, and Is
not delayed by the fact that Spanish
statesmen welcome foreign complica-
tios as offering favorable diversion o1
the direction In which the combative
spirit seeks to expend itself.
~
Much more might be written, but
why multiply wordsf Spain is being
hurried to her doom by the binding
forces within her. Her brutality in
peace and in war make her unworthy
OF kinship with the sisterhood OF pro
gresslve people. She is survival o
bloody times that have for many ma
tions long ago passed away. 1t will in
deed be st1ange historic parallel, i
the AngIo-Saxon race that first curbee
her career in the western world, shoult
also be the one to finally expel her :!
Fallen the pride Of Aragon,
The lordly might Of high CASTLE
| Mark how the closing shadows stea
Where erst the sun of empire shone I!
As some strong seed r.,thinking psnt
i In costly vase or flxts.ssie jaf,
i Its sturdy roots doS1-stretching far
Burst outwards, seeking nourishment.
So when new world had its birth,
The swelling seed of wide domain
Fell on the barren soil of Spain.
It withered there for lack earth.
Thus many dawnlng lives we see,
Closing too soon in dark despair
Too narrow-souled to rightly bear
Full-grown responsibility.

Novel Use For The Telephone.
Henlerson Gold Leof.

On last Friday there was an lnC0resC-
ing cause tried before J. 0. Drake, Esq.
at Warrenton. A man was charged
with house-burning. On account OF
the number of Witnesses and counsel
(26 Witnesses and lawyers) the case
was protracted far into the night. Mr..
Hicks, of counsel for the defendant,
took the position that as the house was
not occupied at the time of the burn
ing, the offence was not the capital
crime of arson. .but was bailable. This
was strenuously opposed by counsel for
the prosecution. Mr.. Hicks cited a
law book in support of his position OF
which a copy could not be found in
Warrenton. So by consent, the coun-
sci for both sides retired to the Central
Office OF the Telephone Exchange and
called up A. G. Zollicoffer, Esq, o1
Henderson, Qt was then past midnight
who went to his Office, obtained ane
read the book over the phone; and Al
he read, it was repeated by the receive
In Warrenton, and heard to the salts
faction of all, sustaining the position
of Mr. Hicks that the offense was ball
able. and the defendant was allowed t
60 on bail.
The GOLD LEAF ventures the assel
ton that this is the first case on recor'
in this State where the telephone ha
! been used for similar purpose.
