The Men’s Christian ’Temperance
Union is confessedly organized on the
model ef the Women’s Christian Tem
perance Union, but Its abject is a
very different one. It is designed to
oppose that terrible evil, roller (kit
ting on the part of women. Although
from its name the M. 6. T. U. might
be supposed to favor temperance in
rollerskating, it holds that all roller
skating is a sin per se, and that tem
perance in roller Is synony
mous with total abstinence from
skates In every form.
Of the terrifcle extent to Which rol
ler skating prevails among women
the tracts issued by the M. C. T. U.
give ample evidence. In most cases
the habit of skating is began In early
youth. A girl is made to believe by
her companions that there can be no
earthly harm In putting on jus! one
rollerskate and in sliding on one fool
on the sidewalk in frontof her house.
Too often the innocent, young girl
yields to the voice of the tempter and
puls on a skate. If the experiment is
repeated, as it is very apt to he, the
girl soon acquires a fondness for
skates, and before long provides her
self with a complete pair. The desire
to skate grows upon her.ai.d sooner or
later she openly visits the rink, and in
company with other victims of the
habit skates night and day, heedless
of all that is healthy and holy.
Often the married woman sesks in
roller skating distraction from the
prosaic dares of lite. She Jhink* at
first that she will only skate a little
now and then, and that there is no
danger that she will become an habi
tual skater. Alas! lulled by a false
estimate of her powers of restraint,
site awakes at last to find herself a
confirmed and hopeless skater. She
neglects all her lisusciiold duties to
gratify her hellish thirst of skating.
Her husband goes bollonless and her
children hungry. She pawns her
husband’s clothes and sells the family
Bible for rink tickets. Night after
night she comes homo witli uncertain
footsteps and shattered backcomb,
ami throws her bruised ami aching
form oil the llrst convenient lied,
where she sinks into tiie slumber of
exhaustion. AYaking late in the
morning she braces up her body ami
clothes with arnica and pins, and
tries unsuccessfully to cat, with her
broken tsetli and brnised tongue, a
little breakfast. The children look at
her fearfully, and perhaps one—a
sweet little daughter, somewhat bold
er than the rest—implores her to Star
away from the accursed rink, and to
put a few leeches to her warst bruises ;
but the unhappy woman has no lon
ger auy power to resist her craving
for skates, ami the moment tlie rink
opens she tries to drown the thought
of her ruined home by skating long
and hard.
The M. C. T. U. will leave no
means untried to reclaim woman skat
ers. They will visit the rinki and
hold prayer meetings in the midst of
the skaters. They will talk with the
wretched victims ot the habit, and
they will urge the rink propreitor to
abandon liis awlul trade ai.d to be
come an honest and decent man.
When these measures fait the devoted
members of the M. C. T. U. will make
rains upon tho rinks, breaking up the
skating floor with axes and burning
tho skates In bonfire*. The good
wishes of all virtuous people will go
with them, and it is to be hoped that
the day will cotnewlien the anti skat
ing cause will ho triumphant in our
politics and skating will be forever
suppressed by a prohibitory law.—

The New York city banks Imre
now upwards o' 150,000,000 on liaml

with, aud it is staled that lenders are
•Soring large amounts of money at
Isj per cent, per annum without
takers, while someof the banks 'will
not receive deposits from new
customers dxcept on condition that no

the millions ef European capital that
is being invested hi land mortgages in
the United States ought to give bor

There can be little doubt that nioaey
will be loaned on approved real es

Barbaric splendor of the scenes in
Aida and L’ Africaine seemed re
peated as the glorious panorama or
blossoming prairies unrolled day af
ter day. Can yeu picture to yourself
ten acres of portnlaca ?or whole hill
sides curtained with what seems a
superb variety of wistaria, .except
that it grows on a stalk instead of
hanging from a vine? Do yon know
how it feels not to he ahlo to step with
out crushing a flower, oo that the
little prairie-dogs| sifting contentedly
with their intimate friends the owls
on the heaps of earth thrown up
around their holes, haveevery appear
ance of having plan'ed thoir own
front yard with the choiciest floral
varieties? Think of driving into a
great field of sunflowers, the horses
trampling down the fail stalks that
spring up again behind the carriage,
so that one out side the field would
never know that a carriage-load of
people were anywhere in it:or rid
ing through a “grove’’ of them, the
blossoms lowering out of reach as
yon sit'on horseback, and a tall hedge
of them grown up as a barrier be
tween you and your companion ! Not
a daisy, or a buttercup, or a clove, or
a dandelion, will you see all summer;
but new flowers too exquisite for be
lief; t lie great white prick'y poppies,
and the sensitive rose, with its leaves
delicate as a maiden hair fern, and its
blossoms a countless mast of crimson
stamens tipped with gold, and faint
ly fragrant. Even familiar flowers
are unfamiliar in size and profusion
and color. What at home would he a

flower, with petals of delicate rose
pink, laying from a cone-shaped cen
tre of rich maroon shot with gold.

grasses—the most useful one she most

‘•buffalo-grass,” for which the prairie
is’ famous, waving its tiny curled
sickle of feathery daintiness as if its

winds begin lo blow, that the happy
flocks may “nibble’ shnrped-toothed.

REMOVAL OF MR. STEPHEN'S BOOT.
The Stephens Memorial Associa
tion has contracted with Mr. W. J.
Norton to repair and repaint. Liberty
Hail, to remove the old fence and
erect a beautiful and substantial
fence iu front of the Hall, preparatory
to the removal of the remains of the
late Governor Alexander A. Stephens,
which will be deposited in a vault to
be erected tn the grounds of Liberty
hall. Work will commence in a lew
days on the building. jMany of the
great statesmen of the nmd who have
filled the largest space In the public eye
have palled a way,but their names will
live in the memories of their people.
No more illustrious, ue greater are
the names af any of these than the
name of Stephens—a name pronounced
with pride by the American people
everywhere. His tomb at Liberty
Hall will be a hallowed s|ioi, ami the
people as they visit may well ex
claim—
“Such graves an kia are pilgrim shrine*,
Shrines to no oread or code confined,
The Delphi* i the Prlestiuee,
Tho Meccan of the mind."
As is well known the Stephens
Monumental Association was organ
ized soon after the death of Mr.
Stepheus, having for its objects the
purchase ot “Liberty Hall,” the re
moval of his body there, the erection
of a monument to his memory, and
ultimately the establishment of a high
schoolin honorof him. Theproperty
ha* been purchased, and tho associa
tion is preparing for the removal ot
the remains to his old home, where
they will calmly rest amid the scenes
of his childhood and youth, as well as
of his manhood and eld age, till the
coming of the “resurrection morn.”
General Toombs has accopted an in
vitation from the association to ad
dress the the people on that occasion,
and speeches by others will be made.
—Crawfordville Democrat.
It is thought that General Rose
craus will succeed Cruce as Register
of the Treasury. It is an easy
position and one where the
duties are light and the salary good.
It ho fails to secure this
something else will be found for
him. His case has bothered the
President a good deal.
