TH£ SqCATTKR WRESTLES.
An old fellow with grizzly beard and
lipsindeiibly dyed with tobacco juice,
aat on a log near a house in Arkansas.
A “stranger,” well dressed and mus
cled is no delicate way, rode up, dis
mounted, tied his horse to a sapling,
approached the old man and said:
“lam lost.”
“Wall, did I say yer wau’t.”
The “stranger” took off his coat
rolled up his sleeves. “I know all
about you,”he said. “You are an
Arkansaw squatter, aud have been
Jiviug here siuce ’45. Hundreds of
benighted befogs, lost in these infer
nal woods, have begged you for infor
mation concerning the roam they de
sired to fellow, and yon have given
them all kinds of ev4ive replies. I
am a prize-fighter, and have been sent
hem by an Eastern syndicate to
thump you into civilized submission.
New, I don’t like to pummel an old
man, and I propose to give yoe a
obanee. How would you advise . uie
lo get out of this eonnn unity?”
“I’d advise yer tei- ride.”
“Gewoaow, none of your foolish
ness. Which way wnuliLx-oa advise
me to ride.” Jaa .
“As fast as yer ken.” Wf v. .
“I see that Pharetd discharge my
duty. I thought at first that I’d
scare you by saying that I was a
prize fighter. lam only an unpre
toniipus citizen and have come a long
wij Wlbok for the home of Em an net
Peters.”
“Wall, why don’t ver look ?’’
“I have looked."
“I.*ok again.’’ *t~
“But which way must I look
■wUttteu yoor eyes, I Kokin.''
“Old man, I’ll have to fl(jkt you.
“All right,” and turning round ha
yelled: “Oh, Tom, tell yer rnur an’
the chillnn to como out here, for
we’ro gwino to have some fun.. Ketch
the gun an’ dog with yer.”
“I don’t waut to hurt you old
mail.”
“Don’t be akoered. You wou’t
hurt me.”
"But I don’t want you to hurt me.”
“Tkeu mosey.”
“I won’t mosey. For the last two
days I have been looking for the
house of Emanuel Peters and bare
bee# put off by such fellows as yon
tud I have decided not to stand tt any
longer. Now, I am to jump oil
you” and without giving the old
man time to reply he seized him.
Theold fellow exhibited remarkable
activity and in a moment had thrown
the young matt against the ground
with a force that made his teeth clat
ter. He was up again in an instant.
This time he secured a better hold.
He danced around in a way of which
the old man could hardly keep track.
Tom ami the old woman came out,
but did not bring the dog and gnu.
“Watch his capers, pap,” said the
old lady. “Hug him fur he’s mighty
peart.”
Finally the young man downed the
old fellow, Sat on him and asked:
“Now, will you tell me Where lean
find Emanuel Peters?” *
“I ain’t never objected tei tcllin’
wh|r t|Je old man is.”
“Yes, you did,” in a manner net to
bo mistaken for gentleness.
“Yer never axed whar tho old man
was. Yer axed whar was his house.
The old man ain’t got no house. The
high water washed it\ ver on auotlier
feller’s land, an’ since fv/'t be has been
rentin’it."
“Weil, where’s the old man,”
“I’m him.”
“Great goodness!” said the young
fellow, arising, “Pin your *on and
haven’t seen you since 1 was a child.”
“Well, I’ll be dog gon!” excitedly
exclaimed the old, grapslag Ms son’s 1
hand. “I thought something strange
when I felt ver grip. I mooter

THE MORAL LAZARETTO OF TUB
WEST.
"What God and civilization deman
ded of the great parties of to-day, or
their extermination,” said Mr. Tal
madge yesterday, “is, first, a plank of
anti-Mormomsin. It is (inn; ;to atop
playing with this cancer; nothing but
the’surgery of the sword will clean
it. The monster alts between two
great mountains in defiance and
laughs at our national impoteucy,
while ship-load after ship-load of
Mormon proselytes are lauded on our
shores and sen t to the great moral laz
aretto of the West, and the emissaries
of organized lust are breaking up
homes in Europe, corrupting men and
women,damping them with carrion
in America, heaping up great wind
rows of abomination. Nothing but
United States troops, with shot and
shell, wiil put down the evil. James
Buchanan was right in 1867, when he
sent an army into the Salt Lake Val
ley, but wrong in 1868,When he offered
amnesty to those who had stoned
and crushed Federal soldiers. Had
the army uider Albert Sidney John
son marched on. Mormonism would
uowbca matter of history. It will
be a saving of much human blood
should the great army march now,
before the evil grows a hundred fold.
Are we to be so cowardly as to be
queath the work to future genera
tions? What a legacy. A vast acre
age of sweltering putrefaction, grow
ing more maladorans,rotten and dam
nable. We wilt a President who
will ask for an appropriation to crash
it. Then put Phil Sheridan in his
lightning stirrups, heading hint west
ward, and in one year it will be
crushed. (Applause.)
“Polygamy has demoralized the
whole nation. This carbuncle on the
back has sickened aU the reins and
muscles of the body politic. Divorce,
concubinage hi high circles, and' lib
ertinism, if gloved, allowed to enter
any circle, i the result of the loose
ideas of the marriage state it has en
gendered. Divorce most be made
harder not easier."
In conclusion Mr. Taimage de
scribed the coming American. The
American of 100 years from now will
be different from one of to-day, he
said. ‘German brain, sift B'* 8 '* w ‘ , i

m LAST WORDS Of A UUtaKAUO
The following extracts were taken
from otieof the lectures of J. J. Tal
bott, who recently died from the ef
fects of a drunken debauch,at Elkhart,
Indiana: B 81-H ■ m
“Bat now the struggle Is over. X
cansurvey the fields and measure the
losses. 1 had position high and holy.
ThetKmqta tore frmp around me the
robeslof my sabycooffiee and sent me
oat cliurcliless and Godless, a very
hissing and by-word among men.
Afterward I had business large and
lucrative, and my voice was heard in
largo courts pleading for justice, mer
cy and right. But the dost gathered
on mv books, and my footfall crossed
the threshold of the drunkard’s of
fice. Iliad money ample for all ne
cessities but it took wings and went
to feed the coffers of the devil* which
possessed me. I had a home adorned
with ail that wealth and the most ex
quisite taste could do. The devil
crossed its threshold, and the light
faded from its- chambers; tho fire
went out of the holiest of altars; anti,
leading lue from its portals, despair
watted forth with me and sorrow
ami anguish lingered within. I had
children beautiful —to maat lfasly-as
adream ofthe tnorn’ug, and they so
entwined themselves around their
father’s heart, that, ua matter where
it might wander,A)ycr it came back to
them on the wings of a father’s undy
ing love, The destroyer took their
hands in his, and led them away. 1
had a wife, whose charm of mind
and person wore such that to see her
was to remember, and to know her
was to love. For thirteen years we
walked the rugged path of life to
gether, rejoicing hi the sunshine and
sorrowing in the shade The tnfcrlial
monster would not spare me even
this. I had a mother, who for long
years had not Isfthcr chair, a vicliui
of su fieri tig and disease, and her
choicest delight was in reflecting that
the lessons taught at her knee had
taken root in the heart of her young
estborn, aud that lie was useful to
his fellows, ami an honor to her who
bore him. Otherdays may cure (til
but this. Ah, me! not a word of re
proach from her lips; only a tender
caress, only a shadow of great unspo
ken grief gathered over the dear old
face; outv a trembling hand laid
more lovingly upon my head, only a
closer clinging to the Cross, only a
piteous appeal to heaven if her cup
was at last not full. And while her
boy raged in Ids wild delirium Uvo
thousand miles away, flip pitying an
gels pushed the golden gates ajar, and
the mother of the drunkard entered
into rest. And thus I stand a clergy
man without a church, a baristcr
without brief or business, a father
without a wife, a sou without a pa
rent, a man with scarcely a friend, a
soul without hope—all swallowed up
in the mael-slrom of drink.
SIRE CUBE FOR PRIDE.
An old man who had for years
been a strict church member, and who
had done much effective work for
the cause of temperance, was found
lying by the roadside the other day in
a state of Intoxication. He was drawn
up before a committee of the Church
and asked to show cause why you
should not be excommunicated.
“I acknowledge that l was drunk,
brethren, ami I’ve got a mighty good
reason for it.’’
“Familytrouble ?” asked the chair
man of tlie committee.
“No, sir. for I’ve had no trouble.
It was pride.”
“Pride I’’exclaimed the chairman.
“Yes, pride. As I went along to
town I met a drunken fellow and I
begun to think well of myself because
I had never boon drunk.' Pretty soon
1 began to feel proud ot it. A little
furl lie rmi I met an ordluary lookin’
feller ail’ wouldn’t speak to him.
My neck got so stifT with ray pride
tiiat I wouldn't even n*d to people. I
reflected that my pride was wicked,
and I tried and tried but could iiot
throw it off. I tried ts pray, but
was a little too proud to pray with
fervor. ‘Thu won’t do,’ I .mused
‘1 am gettin’tobearegufar Pharisee.’
After walkin, ’round awhile I met an
old negro an’ asked,
“ ‘Uncle, can you toll me how to
threw -'ff my pride?’
“ ‘Hat I ken, sail; dal I ken.’
“ ‘Weil, I wish yon would, for to
continue iu this proud way Will be
dangerous to my soul.’
“‘Wall, dar’s one thing dat neber
fails ter knock down a man’s pride,
boss, an’dat is whiskey. Get drunk
and when ycr gets sober yer’ll fee)
mighty ’miliated.’
“I acted on this suggestion, an’ got
as drunk as a—well, as an owl, though
I neber saw an owl drunk. When I
got saber I was the most humiliated
man in the world, an’ I prayed with
an earnestness I never fell before. I
am now willing to leave my case in
your hands.”
“Brctbern,” said the chairman,
“what do you think ?”
“Wall, replied oue old fellow, “T
feel sorter prout'. How U it with
yourself?”
“Barter ‘Pharisee.’ How do you
feel. Brother Jenks?”
“Proud as a peacock. Brother Lar
kins, how do you feel ?”
“Mighty proud. Let’s go down to
still-house an’ humiliate.yourselves.’

AN ACCIDENT ALL AHOIND.
A most ridiculous scene occurred at
a church in New Castle, Penn., one
Sunday, a short time ago. A police
man was passing the church as a gen
tleman came out. The gentleman
jokingly accosted the policeman and
said he was wanted inside, meaning
that he would bo glad to have him
turn from the error of his ways, and
seek the truth and enjoy a peace that
passeth all understanding. The stupid
policeman thought there was some
trouble in the church, so ho went in.
Tc sexton seeing a policeman, was
anxious to give him a favorble seat,
so he said,’Come right in here’ and he
took him into a pew and waved his
hand as much -as to say, 'Help your
self.’ There was another man in’ the
pew, a deacon with a sinister express
ion, as thcpolieenianlthoughtjjand he
supposed that was the man they want
ed arrested, so he tapped the deacon
on the arm and told him income along.
The deacon turned pale and edged
along as though to get away, when
the policeman took him by tho collar
and jerkedtiim out into the aisle. The
deacon struggled, thinking the police
man was crazy, ami tried to get ifway,
but lie was dragged along. Many of
the congregation thought that the
deacon hail been doing something
wrong, and so moof them got behind
the deacon and helped the officer fire
him out.
Arriving at the lock-up the police
tuau saw the man who told him he was
Wanted in the church and asked him
what the charge was against tho dea
con,and he didn’t know, so thesexton
was appealed to, and he didn’t know,
ami filially tlm prisoner was asked
what it all was about, and lie didn’t
know.
The policeman was asked what he
arrested the man for, and lie didn’t
know, and after awhile the matter was
explained, and the policeman who had
arrest somebody, took tho man into
custody who told him lie was wanted
in the church, and lie was fined five
dollars and costs.
He says ho will never try to convert
a policeman again, and the policeman
says lie will never go into a church
again if, they get to knocking each
other down with hymn Books.

“Brain tension,” the Lancet, says: “is
not a proof of strength, but of weak
ness. The knit brow,straining eyes and
fixed attention of the scholar ure not
tokens of power, but of effort. The
intellectual man with a strong mind
dots his brain work easily. Tension
is friction, and the moment the toil of
a growing’ brain becomes laborious it
■should cease.
Goo. A. Sala, the English editor,
who has been visiting this country,
says: “America may be a republic,
but socially and sentimentally it is a
woman’s kingdom. From Capo Cod
to the Golden Gate the American
woman is queen.” And this, lie
might have added, is one of Ameri
ca's proudest distinct ions.
