WEDNESDAY EVENING. O 24th. 1885.
The Chicago Tribune dcnounoce help
by the state governments to crippled con
federates as disloyalty to the Union. The
South fought for what she believed to be
right; when overpowered, she submitted
without any mental reservation, with no
wish but to make the government under
which she expected to live always as
good for all sections as possible. For this
she has constantly struggled. A constant
regard for this docs not require her to
disregard the claims of those who suffer
ed io her defense. It is right that the
government and the people should help
them. We are satisfied that the soldiers
of the North agree with us in this.

FACTS TO UK KEPT IN MIND.
Dr. A. L. Lo jmi-, is credited by the
Canada Lancet with saying: “A man
can take two or three glasses of stimu
lants daily and may continue the habit
for, perhaps, twenty-five years without
harm, but when this man reaches that
period of life when the vital powers are
on the decline, he suddenly finds himself
old bafore his time, for he has all these
years been laying the foundation for
chronic endoarteritis. I believe that 50
per cent, of all diseases arise from the
use of stimulants.” This fact should be
impressed upon the minds of all young
men. It is certain that there is a changed
feeling with regard to liquor drinking.
Statistics throw some light on this sub
ject, In iB6O the United States con
tained in round numbers, 31,000,000 pec.
pie, who consumed over 86,000,000 gal
lons o*'spirituous liquors, while io 1884,
with a population of 55,000,000, the man
ufacture and excess of imports over ex
ports were only "3,000,000 gallons—that
is to say, while the number of people in
the country has increased more than 75
per cent, since 1860, they use 15 percent,
less of spirits. On the other band, the
consumption of malt liquors has risen
from 100,000,000 gallons in 1860 to 590,-
000,000 gallons last year, and that of na
tive wines from 1,800,000 gallons to over
17,000,000 gallons. It should be explain
ed that the amount of spirits manufac
tured last year fell much below the aver
age, by reason of previous over-produo
tion of whisky and the consequent de
pression in the trade. But even if the
figures of manufacture during the years
of such overproduction, when 20,000 000
gallons more were distilled than in 1884,
with a reasonable allowance for illicit
production, be taken as the rate of con
sumption, they still leave the proportion
to each person far below what it was
twenty-five years ago. The substitution
of the lighter for the heavier drinks
whieh these figures demonstrate to have
been made during the past quarter of a
century is a social fact of great signifi
canoe. \\ edo not wish to be understood
as recommending either wines or beers,
for we believe that in tens of thousands
of oases the appetite for strong drink has
been created and fostered by the use of
these enticing alcoholic stimulants. The
prevalence of kidney and liver diseases
in wine and beer drinking countries tells
the story of the physical evils they in
duce even when the grosser forms of in- I
toxication are not present.— Demorat'i :

THE IDYL OF VICTORIA.
It was night at the Hotel Victoria —
one night last week, says the New
York Tribune. The President-elect
had gone to the theatre, and office
seekers from the thirty-eight States,
eight Territories and the District "of
Columbia waited for his return with
months that watered with sweet ex
pectancy. And while they waited,
ever and anon if not oftener, the earn
est band of patriots wended their way
to the long room just off the office and
whispered to the man behind the bar
that they wanted a little more of that
hand-made Jeffersonian simplicity.
The play was long as the spring of a
Waterbury watch, so at length the
band grew as weary as Mariana in the
moated grange. Finally one of the
administrative reformers—we failed to
catch his name, but have a suspicion
that it was Judge Doolittle, of Wis
consin-remarked: “Suppose, to en
liven the time until Mr. Cleveland’s
return, we tell stories. If there is no
objection I’ll call the roll of the states
and a representative of each in his turn
will be heard from.” There was no
objection, the proposition being re
ceived with great favor. According
ly, the Judge—if indeed it were lie—
remarked: “Some gentleman from
Alabama has the floor."
Now the only gentleman from Ala
bama then in the hotel was a plain,
blunt person, w ho loved a joke even at
bis own or his party’s expense. Be
sides. he was partial to stories that
“came in well.” Accordingly lie re
sponded to his invitation in this way :
“The pleasing little anecdote which I
will have the honor to contribute to
the pleasure of the hour may be fa
miliar to some one of you, but it is
always good, and there is something
in this scene—as it were—that sug
gests it. Once there was a king who
was passionately fond of hunting. In
order that ho might not set out after
the game on a day whieh was to prove
stormy, he engaged a weather proph
et, wise in his generation, to get up
‘probabilities’ for him. This weather
prophet was high in the royal favor,
and received an immense salary. 1
hope tliaQMr. Cleveland will do as
well by each one of u". Well, one
day the King was pursuing a wild
boar to bis rocky fastnesses, under a
sky of unclouded blue. Nevertheless,
a little old man who rode past the
hunting party cried out, ‘Best get un
der cover, for there is going to be a
terrible rainstorm.’ But the King and
his comrades laughed the little old
man to scorn. And well they might,
for the sky was without a cloud, and
the royal weather prophet had assured
the King that ihe day would be all
sunshine. Nevertheless it wasn't ten
minutes after the little old man had
uttered his warning before the sky
suddenly darkened and the rain de
scended in torrents. The King got
wet to the skin and had a bad conges
tive chill. Just as soon as ho revil ed
ho ordered that his weather prophet
should be beheaded, and that his fat
office should be given to the little old
man. Accordingly the old man was
summoned, and the King infoimcd
him of his goad fortune. ‘Ah, but I
do not deserve this,’ said the little
old man, ‘for indeed I am not weather
wise. The only way 1 have of telling
when it is going to storm is by observ
ing the ears of my donkey. 1 have
noticed for some years that whenever
the beast’s ears seem to wilt and lie
against his mane a storm surely comes.’
Well, when the King heard this he
decided to give the fat office from
which he had deposed his weather
prophet not to the old man but to the
donkey. All this happened several
hundred years ago, but the world has
suffered ever since from the course
the King pursued in filling his unfor
tunate weather prophet’s place.”
That was the story told by the Ala
bama chap. Having finished it he
rose and requested the urbane ban
keeper to pour him out about three
fingers straight of Jeffersonian simplic
ity. While he was refreshing himself
his fellow administrative reformers
kept their seats. As he set down his
glass one of them inquired with a
puzzled look, “How has the world suf
fered by the action of the King?
Hanged if I understand.” There was
a gay gleam in the eye of the Ala
bama chap, ns he answered with voice
suffused with tobacco, “Well, you
see, its just here; ever since that King’s
day every donkey expects a fat office.’’

THE SQUIRREL AND HER RABIES.
Old citizens of Toledo distinctly remem
ber the time when there was an cmigra
tion of squirrels in the vicinity. On a
certain day a gentleman was on ti e bank
of Tcn-Mile Creek when the number of
squirrels moving was unusually large.
Among tho squirrels was one that exhib
ited such motherly care and affection for
her two little onqs ns to prove a most in
teresting sight. She reached the bank
of the creek where a crossing was to be
made. The little squirrels were quite
timid about going near to the water, but
the mother coaxed them until they seem
ed to be satisfied to do as she wished.
She ran along the shore, and finding a
piece of bark about a foot long and 6
inches wide, dragged it to the water’s
edge and pushed it into the wa'cr so that
or.ly a small part of one end of the bark
was resting on the shore. She then in
duced her little ones to get on the bnrk,
and they nt once cuddled closely togeth
er, when the old squiirel pushed the
bnrk and its load into the stream, and,
taking one end of the bark in her teeth,
pushed it ahead of her until the opposite
bank was reached, where the young
squirrels quickly scampered up the bank
of the creek, where the mother rested
tor a few minutes, when the journey was
resumed. Toledo Qladt,

About three years ngo Col. E. T-
Johnson, of Indianapolis, went to East
Tennessee as special examining agent for
the pension department. A yenr after
his wife returned to Indianapolis. In
November. 1883, he went there, and the
next morning his wife was found shot
through the heart. He reported it sui
cide, caused by insanity. After awhile
people began to suspect that he murder
ed her. The investigation then made
showed that while in East Tennessee,
Major Henry had mesmerized her, and,
taking advantage of his power while she
was under his influence, had seduced her;
that after her return to Indianapolis she
wrote to her husband, con’cssing all;
that he talked the matter over with her,
told her it should never be known, and
that he would support her. Remorse
was too bitter for her to live. When all
this came out, Henry boasted of his crime
and said that Mrs. Johnson tempted him.
Jot nson hunted him up and slut him
dead.

A Mother’s JGove— A Practical
Illustration of Its Power.
A mother’s love I What a potent thing [
it i.< ! It will melt the heart of the most I
hardened criminal, when no other
ence would be effectual. No one but a I
mother knows its full meaning, but every
one can appreciate it if they will. It is
known, though, that means sleepless
nights, care, inconvenience, an i, if ne
cessary, want, hardship and death. But
the subject has been too eloquently
treated by the sweetest poets and the
ablest writers to furnish an essay for i
these columns. Too many practical il- I
lustrations occur in every day life for it S
to be dwelt upon, so that it is unnecessary I
to speak of the subject farther in order |
to make the reader understand the full I
meaning of what is to follow.
Mrs. Henry Schualen, of Ashland, I
Ky., writes that her daughter has been |
cured of deafness which resulted from !
chronic catarrh. She tells how she had {
lost all hopo of her daughter ( her ideal ) I
being cured, and how overjoyed she is at
the result. After trying many remedies,
she says PzauNA brought a cure, and
that the daughter's hearing is restored.
She concludes, by speaking in the most
flattering terms of Pskun A. and then de
scribes in the most lovely manner the
happiness it has brought her, and reviews |
the distress she experienced while her ij
daughter was afflicted.

Mr. Robert C. Hannah, Tolesborough,

form you of the great benefit I received
by the use of your medicines, Percna l|
and Max a i.in. I had been low spirited i
and very sick for about six months with I
a bad cough, and my friends thought I j
had consumption; tried a number of I
patent medicines, and most of the doctor* |
in the vicinity (and we have some as ,
good as you can find in the country), J
but they did me no good whatever. <sur
merchant, Mr. Gillespie, insisted upon
me trying vour remedies. I did so, but
must say, I had little faith in them at
first; before I had consumed niy first
bottle, I noticed a change for the
better, and to-day I am entirely weli,
and as sound a man as there is in the
vicinity. I credit my cure to your valu
able remedies, Perun a and Manalin, ;
and recommend them to all of my
friends.”
