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. w. > .a» CRIMEH.

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 : j Monthly for July. Rev. Sam Jones has gone to Waco, | Texas. 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.’’ Better than She Expected. ‘‘Your letter received. In reply lam happy to say that Parker's Hair Balsam did much more for me than you said it would, or than I expected.

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. ■W ♦ Two strangers introduced themselves to Samuel Brown, a fanner of Burling ton county, N.

But the subject has been too eloquently treated by the sweetest poets and the ablest writers to furnish an essay for i these columns.
