I’nbliwlier'N Notice.
Wk send this issue out with the hope
that the friends of Temperance mtn
whose hands it may chance to fall, will
feel themselves called upon to do some
thing to help us on and to help on
Good Teiuplarism by extending its
field of benefieient intluenees. Will
yon, dear reader, do something? If
you are too “poor in pocket” to pay
for a copy of the Pkopik’s Friend
yourself can't you get some one else to
take a copy?
We are doing all we can for temper
ance and all we ask of you is to help
us two dollars worth. If you are not
a G »»d Templar that much you are not
j much of a Good Templar. AVe meant
i no chiids-play when we started the
! Peoples Friend; we started it for a
I r: gular temperance paper, not for one
or two weeks or a montn, but to be
published so long - as a subscriber could
hi found or until our cartlily labors
mil have ceased. AVe have published
■vo’ - ;: nnpers in this State and Ala
bama and no subscribei - has yet failed
ret - / - Ae his paper lor the time for
. Li'.-li he had paid and you need not
fa- ueasy aoout making such a large
(two dollars) deposit with us, for we
; arc not going to run off, secede or do
i any tiling of that sort.
; AVe trust you will arouse yourselves
: t > a true sense of your duty and not
I dr’av to perform it.

W. I). Atkinson,
Grand Lecturer.
The Grand Lecturer, Bro. W. I). Atkin
son, has visited us, lectured lor us. and at
every point in this part of Georgia, He
did lii.s duty faithfully. loan exposition
of the evils of drunkenness, he presented
an array of facts and arguments which
seemed to us unanswerable and irresistible.
But, in this part of Georgia, “Ephraim is
joined to his idols;” ami, though the Grand
Lecturer or any one else may
‘•Convince lln-in againbt their w.il,
The)’re of the rame opinion still.”
Most us the people her - .*, in the church and
out. of it, believe whiskey will keep off chills
and fever, will make pale face personshave
rosy cheeks and red noses, will lengthen
out old people s lives a score ol years or
more, will cause lean, weazel-looking per
sons to get tat and plump, and becumc
good looking, is a panacea for typhoid fe
ver, pneumonia, etc., and is the great life
and health supporter in any malarious
country. And, let the Grand Lecturer or
any one else attempt to expose th*! delusion
and he will hear quoted against him some
eminent M. D.
DIED.
Brother Lawrence Mims, of Augusta,
Ga., died at home last week. He was a
Good Templar and an earnest worker in
the cause. He was htined by his lodge,
among whom his memory will long be cher
ished.
Fashion Notes.
THE WAY THE <HBL OF THE PERIOD WILL
LOOK IN HER bl KING CLOTHES.
Mrs. Mary E. Burnham, the New York
correspondent of the St. Louis Repub
lican, who is the handiest woman with her
pen we know of in the profession, sends
that paper the following in a late letter.
Little, heavy chunky-handled umbrellas
will he carried instead of parasols, oxidized
silver will be stuck on in all places; Ham
burg and costlier embroideries will supercede
ruffies and puffs on all white dresses and
underwear. Gloves with six buttons and
crowd the importer’s counters. I there
fore unhesitatingly predict they will, in
time push aside such minor items as sleeves,
and waists. We shall require very little
uioiu than a pair of kid gloves and a train
ed skirt to clothe us comfortably. Then
a languid n efface is to be fash
ionable, and the eyes will he worn very
much closed. This, with the high comb
ail on the bias, and the hair arranged a la
scramble, has an after dinner effect perfect
ly indescribable, but rather nice, and class
ed, in mj - mind, among such adventurous
spirit as Columbus and De Soto, will ever
remain the nameless heroine who wore a
chip hat Inst Sunday, together with a paie
gray silk and rose-eotoicd ribbons. I clung
to a friendly hydrant for support. Thought
I. what have the March winds sent us
now In she came, in a “sit up Sarah
Ann anu show your breast pin” style. Ihe
g;:y -ilk ba’.kxH.inir out. the white chip
hat blaring a climbing rose with tendril
enough to go over a front door. The wind
had the whole graniture stii and straight
in the air above her, the Dolman sleeve*
were tike two immense wings on each side
of her, ml numberless buds of rose color
tin.abed the ffy awaj- picture.
Kissing the Bride.
A stalwart young rustic, win was
known as a formidable operator in a “ free
fight,” had just married a blooming and
beautiful country girl only eighteen years
of age, and the twain were at a party
where a number of young folks of’ bo(h
sexes were enjoying themselves in the good,
old-fashioned pawn paying style. Every
girl in the room had been called out. and
kissed, except Mrs B , the beautfui
young bride aforesaid; and although there
was Dot a jovrge.-ter pusent who was not
“dying” to taste her lips, they were
restrained by the prcseTce of her herculean
husband, who stood regarding the party
with a look of sullen dissatisfaction. They
mistook the cause of his anger, however,
for suddenly rolling up hi? sleeves, he
stepped into the middle of the room, and
in a tone of voice that at once secured
marked attention, said.
“ Gentemen, I have been noticing how
things have been working here for some
length of time and I ain’t, half satisfied. I
don t want to raise a fuss; hut—” “ What’s
the matter, John ?” inquired half dozen
voie s. “ What do you mean ? Have we
done anything to hurt your feelings?”
Yes, you have, all of you have hurt my
feelings, and I've got just this to say about
it: here’s every - gal in the room been kissed
mighty nigh a dozen times apiec’ and
there’s my wife, who I consider as likely
as any of ’em, has not had a single one to
night, and I just tell you now, if she don’ t
get as many kisses the balance us the time
as any gal in the room, the man that
slights her has got me to fight—that’ s all.
Now go ahead with your plays!”
Egyptian Fetes and Fashion.
The fashion gossip of Paris and Cairo
clusters about the trousseaux and enter
tainments given to the three brides of the
latter city who are the fortunate recipient.-,
of the Khedive's regal munificence. Mill
ions have been lavished upon them, and
the ceremonies in their honor are still in
progress. The cities of Cairo and Alexan
dria are nightly illuminated in a manner
marvellous in the eyes of the Europeans,
and an incredible time has been devoted
to the Jdecoration of a single house, covered
all over with light wooden lattice wo-ik, in
which small glass vases are fastened to con
tain lights. To this is added a profusion
of flowers, both natural and artificial, mak
ing a most brilliant and glittering show.
The great sensation, however, is the splen
dor of the bridal rodes, the trousseau of
the finance of the crown Prince costing the '
the sum of seven million including
jewels. The gifts were recently made the '
occasion Ibr a grand procession through
the principal streets of Cairo, leading to
the Kaser-Ali Palace, The great coffers
of golden cloths jewels, silver plate, etc.,
ornamented with gems, were carried by
Egyptian soldiers, the boxes being covered
with illusion veils wrought in gold. Four
balls and three concerts were to be given
at the Court, and four thousand invita
tions issued for the first one, which took
place at Ghizehr Palace, the residence of
the Empress Eugenie during her recent
visit. The Court balls are, of course in
tended for the and noble, but the poor have
also festivities of their own. Public tables
are kept constantly furnished in front of
the palaces, where the populaoe find food,
clothing and necessaries of every descrip
tion, An elegant miniature, where theater
has been set up for the harem, pres
tidigitateurs and mountebanks perform
constantly before the favorites of His
Highness. All these fetes have the at
traction of novelty and originality for Eu
ropeans, and travel in that direction has
been quite lively.
street Attire.
From the Washington Society Journal. ]
Ah this is the month w hen ladies be
gin to prepare their spring costumes,
we desire to utter a word of warning
in regard to the colors worn or pur- |
chased for the street. Every season i
the advance notes are the same; some <
decided and high color is declared to
have taken the place of the grave 1
browr.s, and grays and blacks of the
previous season for street attire.
Now, this is all felse in fact ami per
nicious in theort - . The laws of goul
taste ordain grave colors for street at
tire, whatever may be the fashion for i
colors in the house; and the mistake i
that foreigners not uafrequently make
in regard to the character of American !
ladies is not due to their deportment
half so much as to the striking charac
ter of their street costumes.
It is an unfortunate fact tli.it certain
“ladi s” of the “half-wor'd ’ as some
me translates demi-monde, and th*
words have a quaint expressiveness
are so very grand in their style and
dignified in th< ir w alk, that one is
daggered (nnles* a long time a deni
i uof this city into umvrtainty as to
where to place them. IWs not this
prove that a wide line of distinction
m street atthn should lie made, and
that ii cannot be done too soon.
FROM AfcL AROUND.
Said a tipsy husband to his wife. ‘’ You
need —necd’t bl—lame me! ’Twas woman
that first tempted man to cat foibe’den
things.” Woman may have tempted man
to eat forbidden things,” said the wife,
“but he took to drinking of his own ac
cord.”
I Massachusetts paper asks us to bc
i lieve that it costs a couple from that State
i SBO a day to board at a Uashington hotel

■ but that any c.ncfrom Massaclmseils shou d

! A shark eleven feet in length was recent
ily presented to the Dundee Museum, Ou

iit was found to contain T he remains ot a va.-

I ing some interesting intelligence in a lady s
! hand-writing.
I Jefferson’s advice to his daughters was
i to avoid breaking with disagreeable people
ias long as they could with honor. Sacri
' flees and suppressions of feeling for such
i an object, he thought, cost much less pain
i than in open separation. The effort of self
control was scon forgotten, but an open
1 breach haunts the peace every day. -
A Chinaman was summoned as a witness
* in New York, the other day, and, to ascer-
* tain his views on the nature of an oath,
the judge asked him what would be his
punishment if he should swear to lies. I
shall nevar return to China, but always re
main in New York,” was the reply, and
he was at once sworn.
A Western newspaper gives a thrilling
j account of a steamer’s perilous voyage de-
J scribing particularly her dangerous passage

' half an inch of atmosphere between her
chimneys and the bridge. ”
George Sand has been writing of Louis
| Napoleon, and calls him neither a monster
I nor an idiot. The monsters and the idiots
j will rejoice at this determination. She says
I moreover that as he was sincere and gen
erous. This latter expression was proba
bly designed as a well-veiled sarcasm, or
else as George Sand's idea of these qual
i ities.
A particular kind of punishment used
in Missouri State prison is known as the
penal ring. It consists in plaeing the con
vict, strapped, in such away as to compel
. him to sit with his leirs flat on the floor;
i i Lun lijt I'auJd uro tied together and drawn
toward his feet, the effeot being a tremen
i dous strain on the muscles of his legs and
back.
Bones are now being dug up in the an
cient tombs in Egypt, and sent to England
for monure. It is, therefore, not improba
ble that the bones of Pharaoh may enrich
the ho.> gardens of Kent, thur almost re*

! thnt “Caesar died and turned to clay,

Slighly sarcastic was the cleigyman who
passed and addressed a man coming ifito
i church after the sermo had begun with the
remark. “Glad to see you, sir; come in.
Always glad to see those here late whoc n't
come early.” And decidedly self-possess
ed was the man thus addressed in the pres
ence of an a?tonished congregation as he
respond. “Thank you; would you favor
me with the text?”
An Omaha policeman was awakened by
a rat nibbling at his ear, and when he saw
i the immense and hungry creature glaring
at him he became paraiized with fear, of
which the rat took instant advantage by
springing upon his vissago and seizing his
nose. He was choked and thrown violent
ly against the side of the room, and instant
I ly disappeared, but returned in about twen
ty minutes to renew his meal. He was
again driven to his hule, and a powerful
trap placed in position, but as yet has de
clared no dividends.

Airs. Margie P. Moseley comes out,
in the People’s Friend, fair and square
for woman’s suffrage. And that is
not ail. It is rumored that the G. AV.
U. T. aidsand abets my lady, and is
seriously debating the question, him
self, as to whether ’tis better keep
them in subjection any longer or let
’em rip.
Ail we have io say is—-po i’n. AVe’ll
join you m time to reap our share of
the glory. There ar several other
fellows in town whose wives ought to
do the voting.
It is but proper to state that the G.
Vv. S. withholds Ins opinion for the
present.— Rome < fomnu.rc.ial.
A’ e object to the caption under
which our neighbor—the Commercial,
has chosen to air his wit and criti
cism. AVe hope that no “war,” not
even c f words, will be necessary, in or
der to induce our fathers, husbands,
and brothers to yield us that justice
which they so cheerfully grant the ne
gro, and which they themselves can
not deny, is the ioaha ocibte right of every
citizen.
Yes, we are “fair and square” for
woman suffrpge, and we are proud to
belong to a party, whose originator
was Queen Aicioria, (the best mon
arch England lias ever known,) which
numbers among its advocates such
names as Gladstone, Empress Eugen
ia, Disraeli, Emily Faithful, Horace
Greeley, Airs. Howe. Beacher, AVilson,
our who has in every
public speech, for twenty years, never
failed to speak for the. cause of wo
man.—Airs. Stoe, Airs. Browning,
Brick Pomeroy, and a host of others,
whom we have not space to mention,
besides our G. AV. C. T. whom the
Commercial informs us, “aids and
abets” the cause which no true man can
oppose! It is no compliment to Amer
ican manhood to speak of America’s
daughters, as of a conquered nation,
or a set of slaves, to speak of woman
as “in subjection,” and yet this is the
language employed in reference to
them by our qa/Zan? neighbor the Com
mercial, or at least we suppose he has
reference to women, although the pro
noun “them” “refers more directly to
the G. AV. C. T. and ourselves, as writ
in our neighbors polished context.
AVe are under many obligations for
the kindly “permission” to advocate tho
right, vr as our friend elegantly ex
presses it, to “go in,” and we are still
more gratified to learn that “We’lJ
join you in time to reap our share of
the glory.” We hope that will be soon,
for there will be very little “glory” for
those to reap, who come up after tho
victory is won, though much efficient
service might be done, by the tailent
and power of our neighbor just now.
AVe are astonished at the candor of
our cotempdrary when he asserts that
“there are several other fellows,” be
sides himself and his partner (as our
readers will see by reference to hi»
context) “whose wives ought to do tho
voting.” This is candid and promis
es much, for when men are convinced
that their “wives ought to do the vo
ting” for the family, surely they wilfi
be willing to let them do what the
constitution says they have a right
to do, viz: Represent themselves in ihe
Government.
An .1 this they ought to do, for we
have very little hope of the laws being 1
intelligently and benificently rendered
towards woman, much less, of those
laws being made better, when our
“great men” and “intelligent editors'"
are n>t conversant with the ordinary
rules of English grammar.
The vol 1 ' of icoman in the secular gov
ernment, WOULD ABOLISH LIQ
UOR LICENSE, and though “our G.
AV. S. withholds his opinion” upon
this subject; yet if he be trur to the Or
der, we know it already, for he has
sworn to “do ui’ in his power to banish,

that the ship Janies had foundered and
