British Soldiers to Go to China

Lonnon, June 1S.-There are
some indications that Lord Rob
erts considers the end of the
struggle In South Africa not far
distant. One of these is the fact
that the Natal volunteers, who
mad seen hard service, were dis
missed to their homes by Sir
Redvers Butler on Saturday.
They were cheered as they left
his camp.
Another indication is the re
port current in authoritatively
informed military circles in Lon
don that complete division Of
regulars is to be withdrawn from
Gen. Buller's army and embarked
at Durham for China. The troops
drawn from India probably will
go next.

For THE ENTSRPRISE
Who Are the Advocates of IntOx
ieating Liquors.

ED. ENTERPRISE In your
issue of the 10th inst. appears
the reply of sd. P. H." to a
former article of 81. r. NJ. =" on
prohibition. Who are "the ad-
vocates of intoxicating liquors.?
"D. P. H." says they care the
agents Of the devil". Doctors
are advocates of intoxicating
liquors incidentally. Yet they
are not considered agents of the
devil by any one but "D. P.
H." He says "that they that
commit sin are of the devil".
The Bible says, "there is no
man liveth and sinneth not"
Hence all men are agents of the
devil according to cd. p. H..
He says the Bible teaches that
God requires prohibition of all
Intoxicating drinks and requires
parents to raise their children
in strict obedience to their COM
mands, or put them to death.
They must not forgive their
children for the sin Of disObedi-
ence, but must put them to
death. We were taught 20 "for-
give as we hope to lie forgiven"
If we accept the doctrine Of this
so called prohibitionist, and kill
all our children that disObey us,
we will soon be depOpulated
and have no one to prohibit from
doing good or evil. I'D. P. H. .
closes by saying, "Now / have
proved by the Bible that God
requires prohibition of intoxica,
ting liquors of all nations, &c
Not n single passage of the Bi-
BILE referred to by "D. P. H."
prohibits the use OF intoxicants,
except Proverbs xxi, As, which
says is not for kings to drink
wine, nor princes strong drink
lest they drink and fotget the
law, and pervert the judgment
of any of the afflicted. Why
would kings and princes be
warned against strong drink, il
other people were prohibited

permanence. Some other method
of solving the problem not ex
posed to such difficulties was
clearly necessary.
A totally new method of at
tacklng the question has been
applied to Venus during it's
present aspiration by the astron
mer Belopoiski. He has aban-
doned altogether the search for
permanent marks on the planet.
He has adopted a totally differ
ent principle. AS the planet turns
round. one edge comes toward us
and the other edge goes from us.
II tho period be the short one,
like our own day, then the edge
which is advancing toward US
will move more rapidly than it
would be moving if the period
were to be expressed by months.
1t is easy to see that by deter
mining the rate at which the ad
vancing edge ls coming toward
us it is possible to calculate
what the duration of the whole
rotation must be.
A beautiful new process per.
mits this to be done. Brlopolski
found that the edge of the planet
coming toward the earth is NOV
ing faster than it would be if the
long period of rotation were
adopted, and he has therefore
dete.miner that we must accept
the short period. Thus a most
difficult question has been set at
rest. To the other analogies be.
tween the earth and its twin
globe Venus we have now to add
the day and night for any inhab-
liant on that world succeed each
other in much the same fashion
as day and night succeed each
other on this earth.

THE RUSSIAN JEHU.
IFrom de London Field.l

lU-l
The cab driver of Russian towns diff
fers in many ways from our own Jehu,
although in the matter of having a
ready answer, which does not turn away
wrath, for both friend and foe. he seems
to be closely related. There are ne
large cab owners, and, if those of the
tram companies be excepted, no large
stables in either Moscow or St Peters
burg, and almost every driver owns OF
has at least a share in the lot he drives
Although at first sight cab driving in
the capitals of the empire can hardly
be considered as a village industry, yet
in Russia it is considered as such. The
''isvoshtchiks, as the f1ymen are call
ed, are nearly always members of far
distant village cOmmuneS, who spend
the whole or part of the year at town
work, but who remit the greater por-
ton of their earnings to their native
place, and themselves return to it when
agricultural work or fishing is at 4
premium, and when city work or health
gives out. This connection between
farmer and factory hand. tOWnsman and
tiller of the soil. is characteristic of all
Russian industry; it is no uncommon
sight to see a cotton or linen factory
empty during harvest. The coachman
of the city is generally a member of a
peasant family, whose males outnumber
the females, so that some of the former
are forced to forsake the allotment,
which proves insufficient to provide sup
port or labor for them all, and turn to
