At the Chautauqua.

Mrs. Mamie Curtis Of Texas. at 3
O'Clock p. N. yesterday made an eff
fective speech upon the subject OF in
temperance. Mrs Curtis is fine
speaker, being gifted with a flow OF
language that is quite charming
Her introduction was a tribute to
the intelligence of the crowd present,
and abounded in figures of speech
which almost took ones breath
away. Ask the mothers and the
wives OF to-day and they will say
"all we can do is 10 weep. trust and
pray" Woman's love for her hus-
band is like a beautiful rose which
he wears upon his bosom. but which
withers and falls to pieces rs the
breath OF liquor falls upon it. He
exchanges the bliss of Heaven for
the blisters of Hell. Her talk
was a noble effort and did much for

generously represented. The book
contains over 80 pages, with 81 full
page illustrations. Of which % are
in two or more colOrs. The magni-
tude of this December number. for
which rs tons of paper and six tons
OF ink have been used, may be
understood from the fact that 81

True Bravery.

II you meet a man on the
street and he curse and abuse
you and call you vile names and
accuse you of mean deeds, that
does not make it so, and if you
are known by your actions to be
a good person, his statements
will not even cause people to
think it so. Many people,
through fear of being called a
coward will undertake to re-
dress the wrong instead of re-
sorting to the regularly conSti-
tuted tri bunal for the purpose,
and thousands of widows and
orphans have been made this
way. The real brave and true
Christian man prefers not to
make widows and orphans of
innocent people. One is a COW
ard and would rather do wrong
than to oppose public sentiment
The other is the deed of brave
Christian who prefers right to
wrong regardless of public
opinion. How many Christian
people teach their children
these noble doctrines of Jesus
Christ: How many follow
them? 1t is very common for
people to bemean a man who
respects the laws of his country
and his God.

evidenced very strong feeling
against any premeditated viola

who is so Indifferent to the
wishes of the people as to set
up an immoral and unlawful
business in face of the well

committee of three were ap.
pointed to solicit funds, in case
of need, to aid in doing Justice

to establish thing of that sort

those charged with enforcing
