TWO NAUVNAU 1371L5. This Country Uses tne Eiiormous Total of Ovar 700,000,000 Gallons of Liquor a Year. From the Baltimore American. Among the many evils that threaten the welfare of individuals, of families, of society, of the nation itself, are the habitual use of opium and of strong drink. The figures given below, gathered from Various sources, should startle every reader having regard for the welfare of men and of the country, and arouse to prompt action for the suppression of these widespread and terrible evils. The quantity of grain used in the produc tion of alcoholic drinks alone during tho vear ended June 30, 1880, was 19,195,383 bushels—an increase over the amount so used during the previous fiscal year of 1,330.129 bushels. The cry of hard times is beam: anti-poverty and other societies are being formed, yet every year millions of bushels of grain which should be used in the E reparation of wholesome food for tho angry, are made up into noisons that destroy both body and soul. Each bushel of grain yields a little more than four gal lons of liquor. The quantity of distilled spirits in the United States on Oct. 1, 1880, was about 93,938,651 gallons—more than one and a half gallons to each inhabitant of the land. The brewing in the country during the year ended April 30, ISB7, amounted to 23,514,425 barrels, against 20,319,555 for the corresponding period ended April 30, 1886 —an increase of nearly 15 per cent. During tho fiscal year ended June 30, 1886, it appears that the number of registered distillenos in the United States was 6,242, twenty-seven of which were in lilaryiand. The tax on distilled spirits and beer yields a revenue to the general govern ment of about $75,000,000. At present there are 206,970 liquor dealers known to the government. Tho consumption of distilled spirits in this country amounts anuually to about 73,300,000 gallons, wines 22,067,000, beer 643,000,000 —a total of 737,367,000 gallons. The liquor consumed in the United States costs the retailers about $300,000,000 yearly; but costs the consumers $700,000,000, which shows a profit to the saloon-keepers and middle-men of per cent. In New York alone $250,000 a day, $1,500,000 a week, $75,000,000 a year are spent for strong drink. Within less than fifty years the per capita consumption of whisky in this coun try has decreased 50 per cent., whilo that of wine has increased 40 per cent., and of beer 700 per cent. The saloons of this land, if placed side by side, allowing twenty feet front to each, would stretch from New York to Chicago, a distance of 900 miles. The number of drunk ards in the United States is estimated at 600,000. There is probably one saloon for every sixty voters. Das Moines, with a population of upwards of 30,000, has forty saloons, and $250,000 invested in breweries and in th.. wholesale liquor trade. In Massa chusetts last year 36,000 arrests were made for drunkennass. The saloon is the foe of good government. The rum ring is a potent factor in many of our municipal governments. The liquor power is well organized and aggressive. How shall it be met! Many answers to the question have been returned. Various methods are being tried. A high license law insures fewer saloons. In the State of Missouri there were, before the high license system came into vogue, 3,601 saloons and places where intoxicating liquors were sold; now there arf hut 2,980 — a reduction of 621, or aliout one-fifth. The drinking habit has there so declined as to require an average of 820 persons to support each saloon. Under the old system the 3,601 dram shops yielded an annual revenue to the State of $547,320; under the new, 2,800 yield $1,842,- 208. Chicago receives a revenue from its saloons under high license of $2,000,000, as compared with S2OO,(XX) under the old plan. In St. Paul, under the present high license law, no new saloons have been opened since last March, and it is expected that of the 700 saloons now open, 500 will be closed by Jan. 1 next. Within the past few months high license has been adopted in the States of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Illinois, Minnesota, Michi gan, Nebraska and Wisconsin. The following table, from the Wine and Spirit Review, will show the rate of license, etc., in some of our largo cities: Saloons City. Population. No. of Rate of for each Saloons.

It is almost, if not quite, impossible to set forth in anything like correct figures the extent of this evil, because the use of the drug is so largely a secret vice, and because the drug is so largely sold and used for medicinal pur poses. It is estimated, however, that in the Btate of lowa alone, there are 10,(XX) opium eaters 6,090 of whom are constantly under the influence of the opiate. The first effects of opium are delightful. The mental faculties are enlarged, and dreams and hallucinations of a strange and pleasing kind are produced. But after the sleep has passed the head aches, the frame is weary, the appetite is gone and the wretched victim longs to sleep again. Then follows a depression and misery of mind, which is described as (icing intense. At first stimulating, the drug afterward de presses the functions of the nerves and of the mind. The torments of the drunkard deprived of his cups, are said to be as not h ing compared to the opium eater or smoker deprived of his drug. By long and habitual use of this opiate, the frame is exhausted and emaciated, the powers of digestion and assimilation are weakened, and the life is shortened. Far worse is the effect of the drug upon the moral nature. By its habitual use the whole moral tone is lowered, and the victim suffers not only physical but moral wreck and ruin. Vet, in the face Of these well-known facts, the fearful evil is spreading. A vice sus ceptible of being practiced in secret, and producing such pleasing effects at the first, proves too strong a temptation for many to resist. We should be surprised could wo as certain the number addicted to this evil habit, and of these the number moving in fashionable and so-called first-class circles. There is no hope of restraining and over coming these monstrous twin evils of the abuse of opium and strong drink, hut by in stilling into the hearts of men, and especial ly into the hearts of the rising generation, those principles taught more than 1,800 J'cars ago by the Saviour of men and by His apostles. Here alone is to be found the only effective remedy for these evils that tlueaten us. W. L. Smith. Baltimork, Oct. 3.

The Creature Which for 100 Years Has Served as a Terror to Jersey People From the Hew York Sun. Doylestown, Pa., Oct. I.—“ Here is the Deeds devil turnedupagain sure,’’exclaimed an old resident of Burlington county, New Jersey, looking up in astonishment from a local iiaper he was reading. This paragraph caused the exclamation: “Something new in the bird line was seen by F. B. Phelps, of Mulberry, N. C. It has the head of the owl, with tremendous black eye-. Its face looked like a monkey’s, with white cheeks and a black streak over each eye, tho rest of the head inclined to gray, with black dots near the end of each feather. The iiody was covered with a beautiful plumage. Whenever he went near it it would give afi unearthly yell that fright ened the dogs. It whipped out every dog on the place.” “That thing,” said the Colonel, “is not a bird nor an animal, but it is tho Leeds devil, according to the description, and it. was born over in Evasham, Burlington county, a hun dred years ago. There is no mistake about It. I never saw the horrible critter, but I can remember well when it was roaming around, fifty years ago, and when it was hunted by men and dogs, and shot at by the best marksmen in all of South Jersey, but could not be killed. There is not a family in Burlington or any of the adjoining coun ties that does not know of the Leeds devil. I have been frightened out of many a piece of bovisli mischief myself by 1 icing re minded of the dreaded creature, and I believe it comes in handy to this day for the same purpose in some parts of Burlington count}'. But it has not been seen or heard in those parts for fifty years, and it was long ago thought to have died. And to think that the frightful thing is still living! This will make a sensation in Bur lington, and people will begin to lay awake nights again expecting to hear the unearth ly yell again that made the blood of past generations run cold. Where did the Leeds devil come from? I can only tell you the story as it had been handed down for a century in Burlington county. You may not believe it, but you will have to walk a good ways in that region before you find any one who doubts it. “Just after the revolutionary war a young man named Leeds, who lived in Evasham and was well-known in all that part of the country, married a respectable but harum-scarum girl, who was tlie life of all the corn-huskings, paring bees, dances and rustic merry-makings. She had a tem per of her own, as the stories go, and after marriage refused to settle down to domes ticity, but insisted in joining in ail the gay doings of the region as she had done as a girl, in spite of her husband’s protests. When she found she was to be a mother she became absolutely wicked in her complaints and regrets over having married, and lod her husband a ter rible life. The night before she became a mother she was particularly violent. The granddaughter of the woman who used to be Mrs. Leeds’ nurse is still living in Bur lington county, and she says that what lam going to tell you has been handed down in the family straight and without a change or addition. This woman’s grandmother’s story was that that night Mrs. Leeds raise ! her hands above her head and shrieked: “l hope it will be a devil. ” “The next night the nurse appeared at her own iiouse in great terror. ‘Mrs. Leeds is a mother,’ she exclaimed, ‘but her off spring was a hideous deformity and flew up and out of the chimney, shrieking and screaming as it went.’ This strange story created a sensation among the old-time resi dents of Evasham. It was not believed, of course, but the suspicion tocame general that Mrs. Leeds’ child had been made way with, and that the extravagant story was told by the nurse to divert suspicion. A few days afterward, however, a man who had been hunting reported having seen a hideous creature which had frightened him away by its shrieks. His description tallied with the one the Leeds nurse had given. The strange creature appeared to others from time to time and the description given of it was exactly like this one of the queer things that has been dis covered at Mulberry, N. C. The nurse’s story was believed then and the ‘Leals devil’ became the terror of the region. It was limited for many years, but it seemed to possess a charmed life. Silver bullets, which were saiii to be potent against be witched tilings, were fired at it, but they had no effect. The last time it was seen or heard of was over fifty years ago. The story don’t seem to toll what became of Mr. and Mrs. Leeds, but every child in Evasham can tell you all about the Leeds devil. I’ll take this paper with me and read this to my neighbors. It will please them, I know.” B SISTERS FOR THE SOUTH. A Band of Nuns to Work Among the Negroes. From the Hew York Herald. “They have taken a vow to devote their lives to the missionary work among the negroes of the United States, especially among those of tho South, in conjunction with the Society of Josephines, an order of priests formed for the same purpose,” said Father Slattery, one of tho Baltimore Josephites, speaking of a band of Sisters who disembarked from the belated steam ship Egypt Tu.'.sday morning. These nuns are known in the religious community of the Third Order of St. Fran cis as the Rev. Mother Abbess Mary Agnes, Superior of the Mill-Hill Convent, London. Eng., and General of the Franciscan Sister hood of Missionaries to the Negroes; Sister Mary Aquinas, Sister Mary Vincent, Sister Mary de Sales and Sister Mary Paul. With the exception of the last-named, they are English ladies. Sister Mary Paul was for merly a Miss Mary Murphy, of Eightieth street and the Boulevard, in this city. They were met at the pier by some Fran ciscan Sisters and taken to St. Francis Hos pital, on Fifth street, near Avenue B, where they will remain during their brief stay in this city. Then two of them will go to Baltimore and two others to Richmond, Va. The mission of the Rev. Mother Abbess is to inspect ttye houses of the community in this country, and to devise means of en larging tho scope of their work among the negroes, as well as to procure novices for admission to the sisterhood from among Catholic young Indies of the United States. It has been found that American Sisters are better adapted to the special work of the order than are English ladies. It is the in tention of the Abbess to remain in this country for several months. The origin of this community is rather in teresting, as related by Father Slattery to the Herald reporter. About eighteen years ago there was in Hackney, Loudon, a con vent of Angelican nuns, known as the Sis ters of St. Margaret. The Superior was Mother Mary Francis Basil, and associated with her were eight other Sisters, all English ladies of good family, who had resolved to dedicate themselves to missionary work among the poor of their church. Suddenly religious and social circles in England were astonished at the announcement that the Sisters of St. Margaret had become in a body converts to the Roman Catholic faith and hait reorganized ns a congregaton of tho Third Order of St. Francis. Mother Basil died in September of last year and Mother Agnes became her successor. The present Mother House is at, Mill Hill. St Elizabeth's Home for colored found lings ami waifs in Baltimore, and the Fran ciscan Convent and Academy in Richmond, Vn., are the two houses of tho community in this country. Other similar houses will be established as soon as the increasing number of Sisters will render it feasible. The Bottom of the Sea Yields no fiearl that can exceed in lieauty teeth whitened and cleansed with that in comparable dentifrice, the fragrant SOZO DONT. Nor is coral rosier than the gums in which such teeth are s<>t. So say the ladies, who are the tost judges iu such mat ters. TTIF, MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY. OCTOBER 11. 1887. DI CATUR, ALABAMA. The Chicago of the South—Continued Activity in All Directions. Decatuk, Ala.. Oct. 6., 1887.—The steady progress of this city still continues. There is no halting or cessation in the work, and has been none during the sum mer. The manufactories commenced last spring are one by one getting into opera tion. Their proprietors are pleased with their prospects for their business opens up better than was expected. Tho Iron Bridge Construction Company, the Ivons & Son's Machine works, the Chemical works, the Oak Extract works, all have orders to keep them busj r for some time. The minor industries are many of them overcrowded with work. This is especially true of all of those engaged in tho manu facture of lumber. It Is also true of manu factories of brick, and in fact of all articles entering into the construction of houses. There is and has been a great demand for houses, and arrangements are being made for the organization of a company with $1,000,(XX) capital to build houses for sale and rent. The stock of the company is put at $lO a share, and is being rapidly taken as it is believed it will be worth SSO a share in a year. The influx of people coming here to live seems only to be limited by the supply of houses. If these could be ob tained at least 100 people a day would come to Decatur to reside. Work is going on very satisfactorily on the streets and other public and private im provements. The street car line is ready for operation as soon as the cars arrive. The new hotel, the union depot, the Bond block, and many other business blocks are rapidly approaching completion. Many residences are going up in different parts of the city, and several new ones being commenced every day. The sale of lots for business and residences continues at advanced prices. It is said that no one has bought a lot in Decatur who cannot now sell it at a handsome advance on cost. To-day W. H. Woodbridge, Vice Presi dent of the Buxter Stove Works, of Bir mingham, has decided to locate here a chain and architectural iron works to cost SIOO,- 000 and employ 150 men. Ground for the works and for homes for the employes has been secured and operations will be com menced at once on both. The location of so many large manufacto ries here and the immense shops of the Louisville and Nashville railroad have in sured the future prosperity of the city beyond a doubt. All who visit the city and investigate its eligible location are con vinced of its future greatness. It appears to be in the main tracks of travel from everv point of the compass and as was said of ancient Rome, all roads lead to Decatur. The condition of the land company here is highly satisfactory. With only 150 acres of land sold for the original cost of the whole 5,600 acres, with their lots in constant demand at increased prices there would seem to lie no limit to its resources. Its stock to-day at S3O a share is doubtless the best investment now available in the United States. There is every reason to believe it will to worth sloo' a share within six months. There is going to be no let up and no failure here. The wonderful achievements of the past six months will to surpassed by what will to done in the next six. I). GROCERIES.
