How a Flask of Whisky Changed the Des
tiny of two men.
At a private house on the West Side
the other night, some men were chat
ting about the vicissitudes of presiden
tial elections, and that part played by
luck in every person’s life. An incident
as trivial as a shower of rain has turned
many a victory into a Waterloo. A fool
utters an alliterative sentence and the
destiny of a nation is perhaps changed,
and the history hangs upon a silly phrase.
Cleveland's alleged luck was particularly
touched upon, and while it was under
discussion thojliost said: "By the way, I
sometimes fl itter myself that I made
Grant J’resident."
Tbe speaker was evidently serious, aud
as ho is an old and well known merchant
io Chicago, there is hardly ary reason to
doubt the story he told.
The year the war brokecut,” he said,
“I was a drummer for the old grocery
house of Smith & Williams oo Lake
s reet. I frequently visited Mattoon, 111,
and the last time 1 did so was during
that eventful year. The month I forget
but I know it was in the summer time,
for I were a duster, a curious garment
then in vogue having a cape instead of
sleeves and a couple of capacious pock
ets. I knew the firm of Munroe Bros ,
at Mattoon, consisting of Frank, James,
and Bird|Monroe. Frank was the senior
partner and; managed the business, but
the others were lively fellows, and 1 was
accustomed to go on shooting trips 'with
them whenever I visited the town. This
time I went to tbe store as usual and
asked where Frank and his brothers
were. "If you want to see them,’ was
the reply, ‘you.must go/to the ?camp
They have joined the army.”
“ she camp of the regiment, whose
number I forget, was on tbe outskirts of
town, As I was about to start some one
in the grocery store said th* boys would
appreciate a little good whisky, as they
couldn't get anything of that sort in the
camp. 1 walked over to Griffin's bar
utidgot;two flat quart flasks) of hi* best
liquor, putting one in each pocket. Then
off 1 went. I made my way to the camp
ull right, and soon ran across mv two
friends. While we were chatting I told
them about what I had in my pockets,
and asked where I should unload. ‘Come
into the colonel's tent,’ said one of them
"he is an old officer and he appreciates
a drop of something as we 1 as any one."
"We went to the colonel’s tent and [I
was introduced to, a red-faced sturdy
looking man, who struck me as a typical
soldier. He was a man of irascible tem
ncr us I afterward learned but he had
done good service iu the field, having
served with distinction in tbe Mexican
war. Well, (we sat/down and beget,
drinking. The time quickly slipped
away, and one quart flask was empty.
We began on the other. I soon felt that
1 had taken enough, and that the best
ibing 1 could do w*s to get out of camp
a J attend to my (businesA 8o I said
good-bye to the boys and left them.
"That afternocn, I remember I trans
acted all my business, and early next
morning was on my way to Chicago. On
the train I bought eopies of the Chicago
papers, and was surprised to see, figuring
in black headlincs)the. name of my col
onel. 1 read beneath a dispatch dated
the night before from'.Mattoon, 111 , civ
ing'an account of serious trouble in the
camp that I bad visited. It seems that
the colonel became violently, drunk, en
gaged in an altercation? with one of the
officers, and drawiag/his.’.sword severely
wounded thej»tter. Buch an occurrence,
of course, made a terrible) scandal, and
the colonel was peremptorily discharged
from the army.
“At this lime U. 8. Grant had bis
hands in hia pockets waiting fir a job.
He had high recommendations to the
governor and was promised the first va
cancy that would/ occur. The colonel’s
discharge made a vacancy"for.him in the
regiment at Mattoon. He took the
place, andjfrom thatjday.ho followed.fort
une from one victory to another, until he
entered the white house as president) of
tbe nation.
"IJmet the Monroe beys '.soon after
ward in Kentucky during the war. I
remember one ofgtbem said then; That
whisky of yours decided the conduct of
this war." So it did and perhaps the
destiny of the republic."
"Where arc the Monroe boys now?"
asked one of the party who bad listened
to thiistory.
"They came back from the war and
settled in Charleston, 111., where they
were whan I last heard from them."
"And what ' ecame of the colonel?"
"After his discharge he died from
chagrin. He was an experienced and
able soldier. Who knows but that for this
little incident which I have described
his name might have figured in the his
tory of the rebellion among the distin
guished generals of the North?” And
who knows, too, but for that incident
Grant might have remained in compara
tive obscurity?"
"True,” said a member of the party,
getting at the pith of the story more
quickly, "your bottl* of whisky sent one
man to the white bouse and another to a
drunkard's grave.
“That was a very mysterious robbery
the other day." “Why, I don’t see
what mystery t here was about it The
detectives caught the thieves the same
' day.” "Yes. That's what I said."
!
"Have you w<ak eyes?” said a lady to
an applicant for a kitchen position who
wore blue spectacles. "No, ma'am said
the applicant, “but I scour pots and i
things so thoroughly that the glitter of j
them hurts my sight.”
WHAT ALCOHOL Witt DO."
' '
It may seem strarge, but it is never
theless true, that alcohol, regularly
applied to a thrifty farmers’s stomach,
will remove the boards from the fence,
let cattle into his crops, kill his fruit
trees, mortgage his farm and sow his
fields with wild oats and thistles. It will
take the paint off his building, break
the glass out of the windows and will fill
them with rags. It will take the gloss
from his clothes and the polish from his
manners', subdue his reason, arouse his
passion, bring sorrow and disgrace upon
his family, and topple him into a drunk
ard’s grave. It wiM do this to the
artisan, the capitalist, the matron, and
the maiden, as well as to the farmer, for
in its deadly enmity to the human race
alcohol is no respector of persons.
Young man, can you afford to drink?
Think of your health, your social and
business s anding, your reputation, and
your SOUL, and answer—can you?
Think of the simple item es cash ex
pense, and answer —can you afford
moderate indulgance? I beard a doctor
say a few days ago that his red nose had
oost him to date >66,000, and he expected
it would take >20,000 more to put on the
finishing touch It was a aad though a
ludicrous view of this horrible vice. This
same man said. "If by walking one
hundred miles without rest or food, 1
could reach a spot where I could vote
the accursed stuff out of existence, I
would gladly do it, but when it is io reach
I cannut let it alone, and so I expect to
go on till I spend >20,000 more.”
Every young man who habitually drinks
is casting from him, not only bis
best hopes /and opportunities, but an
aggregate of money not so inconsiderable
by any means as he may suppese, if he
has never figured, it up. Moderate
drinker, study the figures, see what
drink is costing you, ind solemnly ask
ycurself the question, "Does it pay to do
this?’'
A few day* ago the sam* doctor I Lave
mentioned was arrested fur 'ryiug to
■hoot his wife while intoxicated.
I hope all young men will think, before
it is too late. Youth, why d iyou drink?
It is not smart to sec a man drunk. You
do not learn anything while intoxicated.
You forget what you had learned. Ask
yourself, does it pay?
Not that I look on alcohol with disgu.xt,
it is its abuse that its lovers give it. A
bottle of alcohol will never hurl a man it
he will never hurt it.
Alcohol does not keep you warm, bul
it will bring you down to the ground to
freeze, and not »top here; it will bring
you to disgrace, vice aod immorality.
Take heed before ic is too late.

went plum down the muzzle ot his gun.
8o how to get it out hs didn't know. Hit
finally oceured to him to shoot it out,
which ho did; an,' stranger, ho swore to
me by *ll that is holy that be driv tne
head of that snake right down through

turned it inside out."

SHALL GRANT Ht RETIKKD. w
It is now publicly asserted that Grant
st first objected to being a candidate for
the presidency on the ground that he
would be giving up a Lie position that
suited him for one of uncertain tenure,
and iu which he would b* sever, ly criti
cized. The Republican leaders feared
that tbe Democrats would nominate him,
and promised to keep his place open tor
him. He declined this as an act of in
justice to Sherman and Sheridan. They
are now trying to carry out their promises
by placing him on the retired list. It
may be all right for tbe Republican
leaders to try to keep their promise: but
for Democrats to help them looks very
much like bowing the knee tu the image
of Baal. Republicans may say that
Grant gave up bis position st tbe call of
duty to his country, and should be re
warded. Democrats believe that he sold
the opinions which he had held up to
that time, hoping for greater riches and
renown. What excuse can they give for
helping him now? It has always been
our understanding that Grant went into
the war as a Democrat; that be fought it
out as a Democrat; and that he was a
Democrat rill the Republicans captured
him, as above stated. It so, what claims
has be on Democrats?
