He died at his home in Madison, on Monday the 15th instant, in consequence of a fall, by which one of his arms was broken and probably other serious injuries inflicted upon him. He lived to a good old age, and while he rendered faithful service to his j state in various positions of honor and ' of trust, and in the intervals practised during many years his profession as a lawyer, lie lias gone down to his last resting place with no stain upon his name, but with the highest honor and respect of the people of his stut and the love of sill who were so fortu nate as to enjoy familiar association with him. We are inclined to look upon our great men of the past as be ing endowed with nobler traits and more elevated characteristics and principles than are possessed by those who till their places nowadays, and we do not hesitate to say that Judge Reese, being one of the latest lingerers on the shores of time of that grand race, was held by those who were ca pable of judging as being not one whit behind the greatest of them in all the qualities that command the admiration, love and reverence of good men. As one of our contemporaries Well remarks, ‘‘his life was one of purity and whs filled with good and nobi< deeds.” As illustrating his courage and unswerving devotion to duty, we recall that incident in his life when Gen. Pope, the military ruler of Geor gia just after the war, ordered him. us Jndge of the Ocmuigee circuit, to place negroes on the juries of his courts and he unhesitatingly refused to do so. because it was against the laws of his state, which he had sworn to maintain. He doubtlessly expected, ns probably did every one else, that imprisonment and perhaps further punishment would be the result, for no one knew in those days how far military tyranny might go, but Pope simply removed him from office and supplied his place with a judge who would be more obedient to his auto cratic orders. Judge Reese had the pleasure of seeing a son assuming a distinguished place in public life and representing a Georgia district iu congress before lie died. His death will fie sincerely mourned by many friends and will be a cause of much regret throughout the state. On the Utii tin* Senate passed a bill for sever,!i public buildings, among them an appropriation of $200,000 for a public building at Augusta, Ga. The Chronicle of the 10th says: Hon. George T. Barnes yesterday received a telegram from Senator A. H. Colquitt-that the bill appropria ting two hundred thousand dollars for the erection of a public building in Augusta had passed the Senate. It is more 1 ban probable that, with the I Hon. (leu. T. Barnes iu the House, -Augusta will soon have her long ask- ed-for and much needed public build- jng. We are of the opinion that Major Barnes had a good deal to do in hav ing \ugtista on tiie list of the bill that passed the Senate, and we feel assured that the House will put Augusta through.

Yielding to the entreaties of women is elevating the standard of manhood. All prohibition men don’t claim to be tetotalers. They only propose to close the bar rooms. Messrs. <J. W. Ennis, C. G. Wilson, Rev. C. B. Anderson, (Jol. Miller Grieve and otliArs met tlieir colored friends iti a prohibition meeting at Harrisburg, last Wednesday night. An Anti said to ns. w yon all are right, but—bitt I can’t go' with yon.” Now, friends do right, without re gard to con«>eqWeiices. He that would save his business, on such terms, will lose it. Mr. B. W. Scott, agent for the Wheeler Sc Wilson Sewing Machine in this city, says tiie outlook for busi- ness this year, is better than for many years past. He says his collections have been very fine. A strong argument with the “wet” men—in their opinion at least—is, that if prohibition is carrifed, the law will be violated and evaded. Well let us apply this argument to other laws. Must we have no law against theft, against house burning, against for gery, murder and many other crimes, because the law can be and is evaded? Such an argument in view of facts that stare every body in the face, seems too weak to be worthy of seri ous attention, Prohibition does pro hibit, to a large, extent if not wholly, and is good just; so far as it can be carried out. WHAT THE DOCTORS SAY. In tbe preface to his Prize Essay, Dr„ Carpenter said that he had the satisfaction of finding himself sup ported by the recorded opinion of a very., large body of his professional brethren, upward of two thousand of whom, in all grades and degrees— from the court-physicians and leading metropolitan surgeons, who are con versant with the wants of the upper ranks of "society, to the humbler country practitioner, who is familiar with the requirements of the artisan in his workshop and the laborer in the field—have signed the following certi ficate : We the undersigned areof opinion— 1, That a very large proportion of human misery, including poverty, disease, and crime, is induced by the use of alcoholic or fermented liquors as beverages. 2. That the most perfect health is compatible with total abstinence front all such intoxicating beverages, wheth er in the form of ardent spirits, or as wine, beer, ale, porter, cider, etc. 3, That persons accustomed to such drinks may, with perfect saf ety, dis continue them entirely, either at once, or gradually after a short time. 4. That total and universal absti nence from alcoholic beverages of all sorts would greatly contribute to the health, the prosperity, the morality and the happiness of the human race. [Signed by 2000 physicians.] The following Medical Declaration was signed by 122 of the most noted pliysiciantMind surgeons-of New York city and vicinity: L In view of the alarming preva lence and ill effects of intemperance, with which none are so familiar as members of the medical profession, and which have called forth from em inent English physicians the voice of warning to the people of (treat Bri tain concerning the use of alcoholic beverages, we, the undersigned, mem bers of the medical profession of New York and vicinity, unite in the dec-la ration that we believe alcohol should be classed with other powerful drugs: that when'prescribed medicinally, it okould fie with conscientious caution, and a sense of,grave responsibility. 2. We are of opinion that the use of alcoholic liquor as a beverage is pro ductive of a large amount of physical disease; that it entails diseased ap petites upon offspring; and that it is the cause of a large percentage of the crime and pauperism of our cities and country. 3. We would welcome any judicious and effective legislation—state and na tional—which should seek to coniine the traffic in alcohol to the legitimate pttrpo'sesof medical and other sciences, art, and mechanism. ” We omit the signatures to these two statements,for the want of space. They comprise the most distinguished medical -authority in the world. Their testimony would be received as evi deuce in any court in the land; and their names will be furnished to our Solicitor General, if he wauj-.tlnni. If the statement of these distinguish ■ d Doctors is true in regard to pure aleohol as a beverage,- whatlwoMd they say about the adulterated liquor- f that compose the average drink, of the )>oor man in this country? Well might I the preacher say, U tbe liquor-seller and liquor-drinker only realized the j damage they are doing, they would j quit without the intervention of the law! The luisiness men Of Eatonton.

Although ; voters are not sworn “a true verdict to give according to the evidence", yet they have a not less sacred'duty to perform, and they should discharge it in the fear of God, remembering that they represent the women and children a« wed as themselves at the ballot-box. Tha question as to whether Bald win county will continue to sell liquor will soon come before the people to decide.- The vote will be cast by men only, while it is true that women and children, are .perhaps, more vitally concerned in this important question thiin the men, yet they will cast no Vote. Then as men, let us consider their claims upon us. Let us consider the love of a mother for her child, of a wife for her husband, and a sister for her brothers. Who can define the love of a noble woman? How nearly it approaches divinity! And yet how often, alas! how often is it true, that this noble ‘quality, which she cannot withdraw is but the jfetters which drag her down to despair, and often to insanity and death! Can we as men, the favored recipients of this noble love, refuse to consider their claims upon us, their fathers, huslatuils and brothers? But will we not with eager hearts and willing hands, hurl forever this hide ous monster from our midst, which iias broken so many true hearts, wrecked so many line minds and brought desolation, hunger and cold to so many liresides. If any out* thinks this picture is overdrawn .let them visit the Asy lums for the insane, and see for them- e!w its tearful consequences upon tlie entirely innocent. 1 will not ask t on to look at the demented inebri- ates, for you will say that they brought ii wi themselves. But what will von sav of these poor idiots anti Epileptics, the victims of transmis sion, tha children of drunken parents, some o4 them the very personifica tion of drunkenness. But the sad pic ture not here.'

The society met Tuesday morning at 9 a. m. agree able to previous appointment. Tbe question for discussion was whether under any circumstances Mus decuinanus could be regarded as a fit dish for epicures or others. The society having been seated and an nouncing themselves ready for the question at issue, the dish was deftly uncovered before them, done in the highest style of the broiler's art by Peter. No reluctance on the part of the members in helping themselves was observed, but it was remarkable that a majority complained of a lack of their usual appetite; a circumstance not altogether strange or remarkable. That silence that generally prevails when seiensists are seeking for truth, prevailed in this instance while this verv interesting question was being decided. Individually, the club pre sent the following verdict: Dr. H.—Mus decuinanus, as it ap pears tojmy palate on this occasion, is not tobc distinguished from squirrel: but do not desire to be restricted to it as a dailv diet. Dr._D'D.—Mus decuman ns unques tionably is not so good as* dove btffi a long wavs better than Liinbergar. Would not object to one on toast every day for a month. Mr. A. H. K.—It i.-. my deliberate conviction that but for deep seated prejudice Mus decuinanus would take its place along with squirrel as a fre quent repast for those who are fond of delicacies. Mr. S.-^The venerable Judge fell to with a vim, but soon announced that owing to too much pepper in the dish the condition of his throat forbade his indulging further what lie felt would be a very great luxury to him. His remarks afterwards were of a very enthusiastic nature. The opinion of two otiler partici pants could not be obtained. Your reporter weighing the testimo ny impartially would venture the as sertion that iu times of great distress Mus decuinanus served on toast with rich old Goshen butter would not be voted an unpalatable dish. Yours truly, Saved Sis life Mr. D. L. Wilcoxson, of Horse Cave, Ky., says he was, for many years, badly afflicted with Phthisic, also Dia betes: the pains were almost unendur able and would sometimes almost throw him into convulsions. He tried Electric Bitters and got relief from first Iwittle and after raking six bot tles, was entirely cured and bad gain ed in flesh eighteen pounds. Says he positively believes he would have died, had it not been for the relief af forded by Electric Bitters. Sold at fifty cents a bottle by C. L. Case. The Duty of Parents to their Sons. Editor Union Sc Recorder : There appeared an article in the Sa- 1 vanna.li News giving some plain and good advice to parents and their duty to their children, especially to their boys—-just such articles are as now needed, if we are to have sons with more than one or two ideas. I thought I vv-qnki write you an article on the subject to put the bovs at college to thinking. The general idea with boys and young men. especially those who have had a little Latin and Greek drilled into them at school or college, is, that their education lias been such that they must study a profession or go into some nice kind of business, as a book-keejier or clerk, and a few imag ine that they have a call to preach the gospel. As Pope said in his day: “a little learning is a dangerous thing, shallow draughts intoxicate tiie brain," anil it is this smattering of Latin and Greek, that intoxicates tiie brain of ouryoung men who rush into law and physic as if they were born to these professions. Look at tiie failures of two-thirds of those who have taken to tiie learned professions; they rank and will ever rank as second and third rate men, simply from the. fact, that they over reached themselves mentally. They had not the mental make up; the mental flexibility of brain; the mental acuteness for reasoners and thinkers as to cause and effect, and that nice discrimination in applying principles and facts and reasoning with that clear logic that forces conviction. Hence the reason that few men ripe to real eminence in their professions, out of the thousands who fill the ranks; and of the thousands, nine out of T,-n are college graduates. They just know enough to imagine that they ought to be professional men.— Great error.—There are but few men who have real genius, and when we see one, that genius will manifest it self on ail occasions. It will not down at the bidding of circumstances or surroundings. They are the men who fall among tiieir fellows like bomb-shells and give to the world new thoughts, new ideas, principles and inventions. Men of talent are many; which is that faculty of mind to group, comprehend and master details; to be good at that which they undertake. To illustrate my meaning So that parents will understand the mental make up of their children, a boy shows a disposition to argue, to rea son, to dissect principles, to draw nice distinctions—such a mind should l>e a lawyer, physician or minister; tal ent is there. Again, another mind has a great desire to experiment with medicine, to physic cats, dogs See, to take an interest in chemicals—we have the natural born physician. Again, another mind takes to the highest branches of mathematics, such a mind is cut out for civil engineering and kindred sciences. A boy shows a great disposition for tools, such a mind is fitted for the machine shop. Another for drawing and painting; we have the artist. xYnother for buy ing and selling, speculating &c; we have tiie merchant in the boy.— Then again, there are thousands of minds which have the capacity to be useful in any ordinary business and with industry and perseverance can make themselves useful in any busi ness, but will never be great men, leaders, moulders of xiublic opinion; marked men as to influence; but will go through life as good, respectable, industrious citizens; safe, reliable and honorable. Let parents but observe the natural bent of their children, and so educate them to be a success to themselves and to society. Some boys are born greater than their fathers, and others again, will never approach their fath ers in their mental make up. A great lawyer may have a son a natural born mechanic;' a great physician may have a sou a natural born merchant, and so on through life. The combi nation of the f.ither's and mother's minds create many times a new mind altogether ; like the mixing of colors, which create or form a new color. Let this absurd idea be banished from society that tiie trades and man ual labor is not honorable. The false ideas of society are only pregnant with evil and nothing but evil to nas cent thought in the young. To be great or successful in any trade or manual labor, requires brain and thought, not of the common or ordi nary kind. To be first in any calling is an honor, and no ordinary honor, and as "worth makes the man, the warn of it, the fellow,” so teach our boys the value of worth, and the true greatness of mind. When a man is only valued for his money or social position, regardless of his real worth, societv is afflicted with the tlrv rot. R. M. O. Written for the Courier-Journal, liy Mattie N. Brown. AFTER LONG YEARS; OB, A JEALOUS GULL S MISTAKE love's pretty dream. Yes, that is just what it was; and all the more sw eet because of my ut ter isolation front the great, busy world, of which I knew nothing. And, with the robins trilling in my ears from dawn rill dark, revealing to my heart, better than any words could, the sweet mysteries of that little word "love,” was it any wonder that my dream was all of it? How could it be otherwise, when the roses breathed it through tiieir red. parted lips? The geraniums and verbenas kissed my feet smilingly, and said, “You’re iu love:" uml even the big- eyed pansies peeped at me from the nooks and corners and made merry over the fact. It was all love; the skies smiled it; the bees bummed it; the zephyrs whispered it. and even the shy little brook, as it darted along, sang snatches of song, whose burden was love only. Thus did life flow oil. in its smooth, uninterrupted channel for five years. It was all iiko a dream, because it was perfect—at least it was so near perfect that 1 neither aspired to or longed for any change whatever. The great, ramb ling old house at "Idlewild," with its flattened roof, its vine-covered porch es and its quaint, narrow windows, surrounded as it was by a dense growth of shrubbery, was just the place for such a dream. In such ti spot there could be no need of worry ing over “dark realities." Looking back to it all now, through a distance of twenty years (and twenty years is a long road, you know), how pleasant it all seems! Take a summer day— day ‘-When raillant Saltire dons tier festal dress,- And smiles and blushes at tier loveliness.'’ Uncle Ephraim (w I10 had adopted me before my recollection), sitting just in the shadow of the vines, the checker ed light playing fitfully over his silver ed head, has fallen asleep and is hint self a dreamer. Dorcas, the staid housekeeper, is tilling tip the huge pots with fresh roses, nodding to this one and to that in iter odd way, and dreaming that they understand it all. Do lovers ever dream? You shake your head wisely and say, "No. that belongs to maidens.” Not entirely, I think, for, as Max Atherton imprisons my two hands in his own, while we sit together in the old grape arbor, and I try (not very hard) to disengage them, he says: "Now, don't be rude and spoil my pretty dream.’’ “What dream?” I inquire in great wonder. “My life dream,” lie says, “of going somewhere, may be to the great West, and mining for myself a fortune and a name, and coming back ami laying them all at your feet." It ia my turn now, so I take up the the thread of his unfinished dream, just to see how it will end, and dream that I gather tip these jewels and wear them. So, you see, xve are till dream ers. I was awakened, not rudely, but gradually my eyes were opened as to what life would lie without this "hero of my dreams.” He might have been the hero of real life to me, I think, if he had remained near “Idlewild:” but the time came when he thought he must go to the broad fields of the West. Five years would be very long a time, we thought, but we could sure ly remain true to each other till the end. There would be mountains and valleys and rivers between us, to be sure, and the thought of it inspired me with loneliness; he toiling, and I waiting until he should come for me. I can remember, oh! so well how he looked the day wo parted: so hand some and grave, almost sad, yet try ing to cheer me" with pictures of the gold he was sure to win, and then it would all he sweetness and happiness afterward. Of course I followed him to the station, but I shall not, even now, tell you the half of what we said during that little journey. I was very brave, though, and not till Max had said “good-bye." and xvas waving his hand at me through the car win dow. did I give vent to tears, very much, however, like an April shower. They were immediately succeeded by sunshine, and I was soon singing gay- ly on my way home. Home? Would Tdlewiid” ever be again the Paradise, the Eden, that it had been hereto fore? The five years, which, in the future, looked so long to us on the day that Max whirled away and left me stand ing and looking after him at the little railroad station, were gone. 1 had lived through them all; but I had been going around iu a busy, real world of wideawake men and women, trying bravely to do anything that my hands and brains found to do, for I had been my own bread-mixer for a long time. Uncle Ephraim, for nearly five years, had been sleep ing his last restful sleep, and good <fid Dorcas and myself, being left alone, had done “the best we could," which is all that anv one can do. * . * * Max had written tome that a chance acquaintance of his. a lady, was com ing with him as far as B., and w ould probably rest for a clay or two at my boarding-house, if agreeable to me. Of course it was agreeable, and not only so, but delightful. One, two, said the little clock on the mantel. Two o’clock, and he said he would be there at four. It was time to dress, but what should I wear. A passage in his last letter had made me smile: “i fancy I can see you running to meet me in vour snowy frock, with a bow of bright ribbon at your throat and another on your l.-air.’’ Ah! Mr. Max, he had forgotten; he had not been counting the years. He did not know, or rather, he did not realize that I, Nellie Dalton, whom he had left, a plump, rosy-faced girl of twen ty, bad grown tall and thin, and that I* was now twenty five and had not the slightest idea of tr> Rig >0 appear “girlish." I stationed myself by an open win dow where I could see them alight. He was very little altered. Time nad dealt much more tenderly with him than with me. He looked older, more dignified and composed, that was all. But I scarcely looked twice at him, for the young lady attired in deep mourning who hung on his arm, riveted my attention, bhe certainly had the 'most beautiful face I hail ever seen, and. oh, such eyes! large and dark, with long, curling lashes. Her skin was soft and beautifully white, and she had a perfect rosebud of a month. I feit a strange pang of something I could not define as he led her to the door, but choking bark the great sob that rose tuid tried to smother me, I hastened to answer the ring at the door. We were once more faeeto face. I shall never forget the embarrassment) of that meeting. 1 did not understand how it was. but I felt that he was disappointed in me. and this itself made nte miserable. Me shook hands and 1 think that I smiled. 1 know that I tried to, but what weaaW to euch other 1 never knew af terward. Gradually, however, we drift ed into • connected conversation, and in a short time were chat ting as gaily as if no word of sentiment had ever paused between us. You may be sore that I soon found out all about the beautiful stranger, Ethel Vane. She was the daughter of his best friend, Judge Vane, of West- ville: had lately lost her mother, and had taken advantage of Max's escort to visit rriends a few miles south of jj . During the next few days Max and 1 were much together, but I con trived that he should not approach the subject which 1 believed was troub ling him. Almost a w eek had passed since his arrival; a week of titrture ... i,„u, 0 ,„t I was reaolvmL-to - j *1° not suit each other, as we once thought we did, do we Max?” "Indeed." he answered, seemingly | surprised; “1 have aiways through’t : we did. I was mute, and he went ! on: "Of course we are now staid,and have outgrown the silly sentimenta lism which boys and girls indulge 1 in.” I. hpt believe in outgrowing ! sentiment,” 1 answered, tartiv; “I have learned, however, that you are capable of being iuueh more in love with a young and pretty woman than with me.” “You are certainly gifted with a most fertile fancy,” he said, hotly. "Will you be kind enough to tell lue why it is you believe these things?’’ 1 "answered nothing, partly from tie ire to vex him and partly because I couldn’t. "1 think, Nellie," he con tinned, "that your fears in this mat ter.—” "My fears, indeed,” 1 interposed, with a derisive laugh. “If you think I am troubled with the ghost of a fear you are much mistaken. I am Only saying what we both know to be true, that we are so changed we never could be to each other what we haee been in the past. I am too plain for you, and we would never agree in anything, and it would be better to part on good terms.” My voice was husky at the last, and he noticed it. “Now, Nellie, have we not quarrel ed quite enough?’’ This with some thing of the old tenderness iu his voice. “I should like to see that look of displeasure off your face be fore I say good-by. Ethel wants me to take her on to the end of her journey, and 1 promised 1 would.” "I thought we were going to the lake," I said, “but of course her wishes must be respected first.” “Now (laughing), don’t lie jealous,’’ Max said. Jealous! It is the “last drop” that makes the cup run over, and mine was full already. I was stung to the quick, but he should not know it. I smothered my anger as best I could, and answered calmly enough: “Well, I confess 1 did not think you could possibly be so ego tistical as to suppose that any one could be excited to jealousy simply because you will be gallant.” Then I put out my hand and added, in the pleasantest manner possible. “Ijshall have to say good-bye, now, as I promised Mrs. Marks to make some calls with her.” “Good-bye, Nellie,” lie answered, then added gayly, as he dropped my hand, “Au revoir.” ‘-Ah, Max, poor heart,” I thought even in my anger, “how little you realize that we may never meet again.” That “Au revoir.” How it sang in my ears for weeks and months. One, two, three, four, five years more have gone, taking with them all the bloom out of my cheek and the elasticity out of my step. I am an “old maid now,” I think, standing alone under the {tines to-night. The winds through the pines are playing a dirge-like accompaniment to my feelings. There is a rattling of dry leaves down the path. Was it a hare or a bird, scared from the overhang ing boughs? I am nervous any way, so l turn toward the house. Then I hear a step, and, looking over my shoulder, I see a stranger—a man. He is coming briskly up the path, so I step aside to let him pass. But he stops just opposite me, and for a full minute stands silent as a statue. Then putting out his hands, whose tender pressure I have not felt for so mum- long years—he says simply, “Nellie. , ’ but in that one word, oh, what vol umes of lo\-e—deep and true, of ten derness, of sadness, of hope and un speakable joy. I can not answer; somehow my tongue will not or can not give utterance to the things my heart contains, but. with a glad cry, and a sweet sense of peace and rest, I xvalk right into the sinewy arms of Max Atherton, for they are waiting to receive me.* “I have found von," he says, “after all these years. The spring time of our life is past—past with the roses, its freshness and sun shine, but the summer shall be all the sweeter, shall it not, darilng?" My answer is sobbed rather than spoken— but they were sobs of joy, such us I never knew before; for happiness, sweet and unspeakable, lias come to us both after all these years of wait ing- , . , Washington Letter From Our Regular Correspondent Washington, Feb. 15, 1886. There hare been many rumors during the week of impending Cabi net changes. The rumors are period ic and usually ttnfotinided. The Treasury and Department of Justice are the offices particularly referred to, and in the case of the latter, gossip goes so far as to designate the Attor ney-General’s successor. There has been more quiet pressure brought to hear upon the Adminis tration to effect Mr. Gariand’s remov al than the public is aware of. But the President keeps his own counsel, and he is quoted as having intimated to an officious friend, after patiently listening to his suggestion on this sub ject, that xvhen ite desired advice touching his own business, lie would ask for it. Besides, Mr. Garland is a proud man, and would not be willing to remain in his present position a dav were he not assured of the Presi dent's fullest, confidence. As for the Secretary of the Treasu ry. should he conclude to retire it could scarcely be from dissatisfaction with his position or with the Presi dent, or for any dissatisfaction on the part of the President with him, as they have worked in perfect accord together for a longer period than this Presidential term. Mr. Manning has often said, however, that he only en tered the Cabinet to assist the Presi dent in inaugurating certain reforms. This being done, he had no further object in remaining. He could not desire to make money while holding so important a place as that of the Secretary of the Treasury, and he has often spoken of a settled purpose to retire from public, life. During the present week. Educa tion will be the subject of debate in the Senate and the Fitz John Porter case will be again dragged through the House. Representative Swine- burae, of New York, in a speech on the Porter, bill bore testimony, from personal observation, to the jealousies which existed among the officers of the Army and said jealosy seemed to hint to be one of the fine arts taught at West Point. The findings of the Court martial in the ease of General Porter, were, he thought, largely the result of jeaiousv. He was followed by Mr. Houk, of'Tennessee, who said Porter was guilty of treachery, and ought to have been shot. . The discussions which the Blair Lo cational bill elicited in the Senate ring the last Congress repeated iu this, ,p, “ . ess are likely to be repeatou iu The subject was ex haustively considered then, anJ lot e liiat is new can be said upon u now. Senator Morgan, of Alabama is still in* the fore front of the opposition with a clearer field l>efore him now that Mr Garland is not there to co*- 1 " f te hhn He still argues that the I-ill auMOt find a foot hold m the Con stitution, and that it is an unwarrant able invasion of the States rights. He does not believe that the whole coun- trv should be taxed for the benefit of localities, and be protests that the Government liasno more right to make appropriations or the public schools of a State than for its churches or dis- pensraies. The Senator said he knew many would reproach him for opposing a measure that seemed to be a great benefit to the people of Alabama but he prayed God he might not falter in lienee to the Constitution brn to Mq.pojst. His answer 'ftifened pi dple of liis ~ jjit he preferred idl .diet In the course of these remarks, Sen ator George, cf Mississippi, asked him if < laThourt had not voted for a certain measure. “I don’t know" replied the Senator from Alabama, “and with ell respect for the memory of Mr. Cal houn. I don’t care. Mr. Calhoun voted on both sides of many ques tions, and voted sincerely every time.” There were two brilliant ex’ents at the White House during the past week. The President's third State dinner was held in honor of the Su preme Court, and the first card recep tion of the winter was given to tiie Diplomatic Corps. To this both Houses of Congress we. e invited, be sides the officers of the Army and Na vy, the Judiciary, and various other officials in 'Washington. The rain jxmred in torrents but it was a carri age reception, and no one attended who did not go in carriages. Con gress had been invited only through the papers, as it frequently has been of late years on such occasions, and a number of Senators were conspicuous for their absence. One of them re marked that he would not attend even a caucus on such an announcement. He knew tin- President did not intend any slight, hut he was not in favor of carrying Jeffersonian simplicity quite so far. Extracts From a Speech, of John H. Seals. Esq. Dr. Oliver Goldsmith said "lie nev er saw a village or city where the miseries were not in proportion to the drinking houses." John Wesley said, “the men who traffic with ardent spir its and sell to all who buy are prison ers general. A curse is in the midst of them. The curse of God is on their gardens, walks and groves; the foun dation, floor, walls, and roof are stain ed xvith blood.” * But, says the liquor man. "why close my saloon? You can’t legislate nor force men into habits of sobriety.” We do not propose to legislate men into soberness, but we propose to leg islate you out of the business of niak ing drunkards. But. he replies again: “My saloon will not hurt men if they do not enter it. I do not invite them in and they are not compelled to enter it." Why it is one of the most difficult things in the world for a jolly, good natured fellow to pass a saloon. When he hears the tinkling of the glasses, the jovial laughter, and exhilarating mu within, the temptation is almost irresistible. But we make no war upon the sa loon keeper as an individual for he is pursuing a legal business. He is tin der the protection of the Federal, state and nmnipical governments. He pays taxes to support all these gov ernments. He pays for the privilege of carrying on his occupation, and many saloon-keepers are honorable gentlemen in nil the relations of life ami possess noble instincts aud getter ous impulses. I would go to some of them for a charitable or benevolent contribution with more certainty of getting it than from many professing moralists, or so-called reformer:-. The business they follow is not congenial to their tastes, blit there is money in it and so long as it is sanctioned by the law and permitted by tiie voters and tax-payers of the community he has a right to carry it on. If we do not want these institutions in otrr midst we now have an oppor tunity to march up to the ballot box and so announce it. Will you do it? If not, then let them throw wide open their doors and let us do away xvith the police and city courts, for w hy !i cense and perpetuate establishments in our midst to make people drunk and then pay policemen to club them over the head and city courts to pun ish them? A GREAT INDUSTRY!?) But you say it is a great industry —fostered find protected by the gov ernment and it great factor in sup porting the government. Well let ns see a moment. A great industry! Farming is a great industry. The farmer plants the seed and grain and raises the staple and bread stuff's for feeding and clothing the people. The merchant handles these products and distributes them among the masses. The cotton factor stands ready to take charge of the farmers products and pay him the cash and save him all further trouble. The banke- ad vances the cotton factor the means to assist,the farmer. The railroads fur nish the transportation. The school teacher takes charge of the children, trains their mind and leads them on in the paths of useful knowledge. The- minister labors to instruct t.ie masses in the way of immortal truth and prepare them for a life higher and more important than the one we now- live. The mechanic.builds our houses and the machinist constructs our ma chinery, and useful implements of all kinds, and so on through ail the vari ed avocations of life. All the voca tions have something io show. And now where are some of the products of this great industry, the Liquor Traffic? What does it manufacture? What has it always manufactured? Drunkards, widows and orphans. * * * f * * * It is being discussed everywhere—in the Churches, in the counting rooms, in the banks, on the railroads, in the papers, in political platform.-, around every fireside, and tiie agitation will continue until the grogshop is elirni nated from the political organism of this country. It is coming, fellow cit izens. The wave may be dashed back in foatu upon the rocks, but like tbe great tidal surge it gets higher aud higher at every rebound. Everything is for it—education, agitation, legisla tion, the thunders of Sinai, the plead ings of Cavalry, statesmen, politi cians, singing children, praying w o men, pleading drunkards, God and the^holy angels. ‘•1 feci tue world move sunwurd We join ilie ure-at marc’i ouwavtl.” • •*•*«* NOT READY FOR PROHIBITION. But you say the people are not ready for prohibition because they are not educated up to it. No, they were not ready for the ten command ments from Sinai. They were not ready for the laxv against stealing, ft- gainst perjury and murder. Laws are passed and enforced against those who disregard law. If all people wereeduca ted up to the point where they would not steal we would need no law on the subject. If they were all temperate we would need no law on temperance; but we cannot educate them to tem perate habits till w e can get the temp tations removed. . Did you know that liquor drinking and liquor craving differs from ever} thing else which concerns trade anu the human appetite? In all other oc cupations the demand furnishes the supply. If there is no demand for an article the merchant donfl keep it. But it is different with liquor The supply creates the demand. h p .ri a man wants water .or food he drinks and eats and his natural appetite is soonsatisfied, bur when vou give a diseased craving what it asks foi it asks for more. When he takes one drink of liquor it creates a demand for another and so on. A man passing oni> 'drink 1 'creates^ a titirst^ for more ^nd so on till both are drunk, perhaps and the two friends, fired with th* whiskey, may fall out and kill each other before thev leave the saloon. Is this not so? And would it have happened if there had been no saloon? The manager of a great Railroad sat., by closing the saloons near our sit .i H nn L'nnnpijs diminished t hops wo- drunkenness has dumm thirds among our men. I he boys in passing the saloon would take a drink, but when they have to go a block or two they let it alone. * * * * * * * We have tried moral suasion. We have tried social organizations.
