Atlanta, Juu. 8.—Tho state railroad commission has ordered the roads to re- duoe their rates on fertilizers 20 per cent. The order is to date from Jan. 1. This means a loss to the roads of $200 ■ 000, so they say.

What onriohment ims been given to tho world’s literature and enjoyment by the ballads, tho cnntioles, tlio diH- oants, tho ditties, tho xoundtdays, tlio epics, tlio lyrics, tlio dithyrambs! But my text cails attention to a style of song that I think hits never been dis coursed upon. You sometimes hear tiiis style of music when passing u saloon or n residence iu which dissipation is ascendant, or after you have retired at night you hear it coming out of the street from those who, having tarried long at their cups, are on their way home—tho ballad of the inebriate, the serenade of the aioohoiizsd, or what my text calls the song of the drunk ards. For practical and saving and warn ing and Christian purposes I will an nounce to yon tho characteristics of that well known cadence mentioned in my text. First I remark that the song of tlio drunkards is an old song. Much of the niusio of tho world and of the church is old niusio. First cume tho music of percussion, tho chipping cym bal, which was suggested by u hammer ou an anvil, und then tho sighing of tho wind across, the reeds suggested tlio flute, and then the strained sinews of the tortoise across its sholl suggested the harp. But fur back of that, and nearly back us far ns tho moral collapse of onr first parentage, is tlio song of tlio drunkards. That tune was sung ut leant 4,248 yours ago, when, tho deluge pust, Noah enmo out of the ark, und as if disgusted with too muob prevalence of water he took to stroug drink and stag gered forth, for h11 ages the first known drunkard. Hu sounded the first note of the old music of inebriety. Au Arab author of A. D. 1810 wrnto, “Noab, being conio out of tho ark, ordered eaoli of his sons to build a house. ” Tlio Devil’* Vino. Afterward they wore occupied in sow ing and iu planting trees, tho pippins and fruits of .which they had found in the ark. Tho vino alone was wanting, und they could not discover it. Gabriel then iuformed thorn that tho devil had desired it, and indeed had some right to it. Hereupon Noah summoned him to uppenr iu tho field and said to him : ‘Ob, acoursed! Why hast thou carried away the vine from me?” “Becauso,” replied tbo devil, “it belonged to me.” ‘Shall I part it for yon?” said Gabriel. I consent,” said Noah, “and will leave him a fourth.” “That is not suffi cient for him,” said Gabriel. “Well, I will take hjilf, ” replied Noah, “nud he shall take the other." “That is not sufficient yet,” respondedGabriol. “He must have two-thirds aud thou one, and when thy wine shall have boiled on tbe fire until two-thirds aro gone the re mainder shall be assigned for thy use.” A fable that illustrates how the vine has been misappropriated. Benhadad and 82 allied kings, riot ing in a pavilion, took up the same bacchanal. Nabal was rendering that drunkards’ song when his wife, beauti ful Abigail, came back from her expe dition to save her husband. Herod was singing that song when the daughter of Herodias whirled in tho dance before him. Beishazzur und a thousand lords renewed that song the nigiit the hand- riting came out on the plastering of tbe wall and the tramp of tho besieging host was heard on the pulace stairs. Aliasuerus sang that soug when, after seven days of carousal, lie ordered Vashti to come into the presence of the roaring guests without her veil on—n January story trying to command a June morning. Oh, yes I The song of the drunkurds is un old song. King Cy rus bousted that he could drink moro wine than his brother. Drunkenness was so rife among the Lacedaemonians that Lycurgus had all the vines of the vineyards destroyed. Paul excoriates the Corinthiuus for turning the com munion of the Lord’s Supper at church into a carousal. Isaiah mentions the drunkards of Ephraim. So niuoh were the Athenians given td wassail that a an expensive song, Tho Souutags and tho I’arepu Rosas and Nilssons aud the other tenderers of elevated and divine solos received their thousands of dol- lars per nigiit in coliseums nnd aeudo- mics of music. Some of tho people of small means almost pauperized iliem- selves that they might sit a few even ings under I Ho enchantment of Iboso angels of sweet sounds. I paid $7 to hear Jenny Lind sing when it was not very easy to afford the $7. Very expen sive is Hitch music, but tho costliest song on earth is the drunkards’ song." It costs ruin of body, It costs min of mind. It costs ruin of soul. Go right down among the residential streets of any city and yon can Hud once beauti ful aud luxurious homesteads that were expended in this destructive niusio. The lights have gone out in the draw ing room, tho pianos havo ceased the pulsation of their keys, the wardrobe has lost its last artiole of appropriate attire. Tho Belshazzarean feast lias left nothing hut tho broken pieces of the crushed chalices. Tlio Slo*t Expensive Music. Thoro it stands, the ghastliest thiug on earth—tho remnant of a drunkard's homo. The costliest tiling on earth is sin. The most expensive of all niusio is tho song of tho drunkards. It is tho highest tariff of nations—not a protect ive tariff, but a tnriff of doom, a tariff of woe, a tariff of death. This evil whets tiie knives of the assassins, outs the most of tho wonuds of tho hospital, makes necessary most of the almshouses, causes the most of the ravings of tho insane asylum and puts up most of tho iron bars of tbe penitentiaries. It bus its baud today on the throat of the American republic. It is Iho taskmaster of nations, and tlio homn;i rncecrouches under its nunthnma. The song of tbe drunkards lias for its accompaniment tho clunk of chains, the chattering tenth of poverty, tho rutile of oxooutionor’s scaffold, the creaking door of tho de serted home, tho crush of shipwrecks nml tho gronn of empires. The $2,020,- 000,000 which rum costs this country in n year in tho destruction of grain and sugnr and the supporting of the pun purs and the invalids and tho crimi nals which strong drink causes is only a small pnrt of wliat is paid for this ex pensive song of tlio drunkards. Again, this song of tlio drunkards is’ a multitudinous song—not a solo, not a duet, not n quartet, not u sextet, bnt millions on millions are this hour sing ing it. Do not think that alcoholism lias this field all to itself. It lias pow erful rivals in the intoxicants of other nations—hasheesh, and arrack, aud pulque, nnd opium, nnd qunvo, and mnstio, and wedro. Every nation, bur- bario as well ns oivilized, has its pet intoxicant. This Bong of tho druukards is rendered in Chinese,Hindu*tuneo,Aru biun, Assyrian, Persian, Mexican—yen. all the languages. All zones join it. No continent would lie large enough for the choir gallery if all thoso who havo this libretto in their hands should stand side by side to chant iho international chorus. Other throngs ure just learning the eight notes of this deuthful music which is already mustered by the orclicstrus in full voioo under tho batons in full swing All the musicians assembled at Dus- aeldorf, or Berlin, or Boston peace ju biloe, rendering symphonies, requiems or grand marches of Mendelssohn or Wagner or Chopin or Handel, wore in significant in numbers as oornpured with the innumerable throngs, host be side host, gallery above gallery, who are now pouring fortii the soug of the drunkards.
