I believe in wearing the badges and in signia of temperance societies. Those who indulge only occasionally in drinking ought to belong to a temperance society. They should become total abstainers, if not for themselves, for other people. I have found very few peo ple who took a drink once a day or once a week who did not soon increase their pota tions. There are very few people who drink at all whe do not get drunk, and if you were to poll this audience I doubt if you would find a single person who drinks who has not been drunk some time in his life. We are not do ing our duty while we are merely enjoying ourselves and letting the devil get the drunk ards.” In concluding the speaker implored the temperance societies to exert themselves, •specially for the poor. •*• Royal Club Reception. About a year ago the young Hebrews of Montgomery organized the Royal Club as a means ol refined social enjoyment, and on the iiii ult. gave their second grand reception. The tastefully decorated hall was well filled with the beautiful daughters and gallant sons of Israel, wholly bent on pleasure’s pursuit; and merriment and joy were the twin-stars which shone in every bright and laughing face. The/lancing was all that could have been desired, and as the numbers were called it seemed that every couple would take a posi tion as a participant—all were present for one end—to add to the enjoyment of the evening— every one entered enthusiastically into every thing which tended to make it more pleasant. The Royal Club does nothing by halves, and the annual reception was fully up to the high standard which has marked the club’s enter tainments in the past. The entertainment was arranged and man aged by the following gentlemen: Committee of Arrangements.—II. W. Bern- heim, chairman; Israel Meyer, Ed. Barnett. Reception Committee.—D. Abraham, Sr., chairman; A. B. Ilirschor, Leopold Meyer. Floor Committee.—A. Kaufman, chairman; M. Mohr, D. S. Dreyfus, Ernest Meyer, A. Mogg. When half the numbers on the programme hid been called, the announcement was made that supper waited, when the entire party re paired to the elegant dining parlors at Flem ing’s where they found tables beautifully laid, and loaded down with the choicest food and delicacies, of which all partook heartily—then returned to the hall where the joys of music and the dance were resumed. The social orchestra, under the leadership of the talented young musician, Mr. M. Moore, discoursed sweet music lor the occasion. The officers of the Royal Club are : II. W. Benheim, president; A. Kaufman, vice-presi dent; A. Kohn, secretary; 1). Abraham, treas urer, and Charles Kohn, M. Moore, B. Gerson, and L. Strauss, directors. *** < In Tuesday night, March 16th, Mrs. II. II. Banks (Chattanooga, Tenn.) gave a dancing party in honor of her guests, Misses Eason and Hammond. The evening was perfectly de lightful. The following is a list of the ladies and their costumes; Miss Pattie Hammond, pink silk trimmed in lace, pearl ornaments; Miss Hattie Page, of Scranton, Pa., looked charming in cardinal marolien silk, entraine, elegantly trimmed in jet, diamond ornaments; Miss Maud Mitchell, of Knoxville, white cos tume with pink trimmings; Miss Eason, red satin, black lace and diamonds; Miss Van Dyke, black silk with black lace over-dress, ornaments, flowers; Miss Ida Ragsdale, white cashmere and lace; Miss Mollie Eakin. black silk and lace, natural flowers; Miss Maggie Eakin, white point lace dress over white silk; Miss Arwin Clift, rose pink and pearl; Miss Tutt, white albatross and lace; Miss Helen McClure, white satin, white lace front; Miss Sallie Trigg, white nun’s veiling, paarl orna ments; Miss Williams, white surah silk, demi- train and diamonds; Miss Bachman, white cashmere, beaded lace front and flowers. •*• The Montgomery True Blues had an im promptu hop at their rooms, after their fatigue drill, on the night of the 221. The fairest and sweetest of Montgomery belles attended. A Phantom Hop was given one night last week at the residence of Mr. W. C. Fulham, on Milan street. New Orleans. It was a pleas ant social event. »** In Searcy, Arkansas, a number of little girls have organized the “Pansy Society." The ob ject of the Society is for each one becoming a member to resolve to break same bad habit and to do all the good they can. The motto is: “For Jesus’ Sake.” ding supper was served at 10 o’clock that kept , a :o with old Dougherty’s repute for good fes- ra. boards. •*« The Opelika Times of a recent date gives an account of a german complimentary to repre sentatives of the belles of Augusta: “Last Friday evening the most elegant german of the season was given by the'Opelika Glee Club at their rooms on North ltaiiroad street. About twenty couples were present, attired in eve ning costumes embellished with rare jewels and sweet faces. The german was opened about 0 o’clock with Mr. H. L. Bandy and Miss Kittie Walton, of Augusta, leading, and the followers were none the less graceful. The young men had spared neither pains nor means to make the occasion par excellence, and the universal praise given the entertainment attest the success of their efforts. The club has done much to advance the amusements of our city, and is worthy the high standing it has already attained. The visiting young ladies and gentlemen declare the occasion unsur passed for genuine pleasure, and in the lan guage of one of the boys the german waa ‘a honey.’” On the night of Monday the 14th, festivities were continued at New Orleans by the sere nade and reception at the residence of the gra cious and lovely young Queen, who in a rich and elegant costume of black satin and lace, entertained her maids of honor, and a number of guests outside of the royal party, with danc ing and music until the hour of 12—when the King and his gallant knights made known their approach by a shower of beans upon the windows and gallery. To the music of the royal aathem, "If Ever I Cease to Love,” the cortege entered the Queen’s parlors, where the King presented her with a magnificent floral offering in the design of a lyre. This beautiful specimen of floral art was composed of roses, daises, violets and jasmines, and in his elo quent and appropriate address, the King re ferred to each of the afore-named flowers and made them the emblem of the fair lady he was addressing. Besides this gift the Queen re ceived a very handsome gold pendant—also in the shape of a lyre—surmounted with a crown, emblaz ined with the name of Rex, and the in itials of Miss Braughn. Mr. Beanham respond ed to the Kit g in the happiest manner foi the Queen; and alsj in the name of Miss Cora Townsend, who, as one of the Queens of some years past, was the recipient of a very beauti ful floral tribute. The house was exquisitely decorated for the occasion, halls and staircase ornamented with dados of palm and foliage. The hat rack was, as it were, transformed into a jardiniere of lovely roses; and in every nook, corner, et igere, table or cabinet there were clusters of aright sweet flowers to gladden the eye. The gathering was characterized by joy ousness and informality, and will long be re membered as one of the most delightful recep tions of its nature given in this city for many years past. A number of the Carnival kings and queens of the preceding years were serenaded by the royal party on Monday evening. NOGTES UEHORABILES. “BY B. B.” Dramatis Personae. Thb Doctor—a bachelor, age 60.

C be- A can become C in fact, only when oomes B in fact. But what is the logic of our modern scien tists? Let us take a familiar example. Open your physics there, Doctor, and you will find it stated there as a simple, sober, solemn fact that, “Heat is a mode of molecular motion.” And then you will find by reading on, that the au thor proceeds to show how beautifully this fact explains all the puzzling phenomena con nected with this thing called heat. The stu dent is delighted, enraptured, amazed! It is so wonderfully simple! So beautifully clear! Was there ever anything like it? And yet it is a sham, a fraud, an imposition upon intel ligence, all of it. Simply a little jugglery with words, and no real explanation of anything at all. He starts out with the understanding that heat is molecular motion, and in his as tonishment that molecular motion should ex plain the phenomena of heat so beautifully, he fails to see that it is simply “molecular mo tion” explaining “molecular motion.” And that all of this beautiful, wonderful harmony and agreement, is simply an argument of a thing with itself I If a definition be made for the express purpose of agreeing with certain phenomena, it ought net to excite violent emo tions of any kind to discover that the phenom ena fits the definition. The whole problem of beat is realiy contained in the definition, which is laid down as a matter of fact too self- evident for demonstrat on. But upon what authority is this definition based? From what premises is it deduced? Let us formulate the logical process by which it ia arrived at: phe- Tallahassee, Fla. The capital city of Florida never presented a more attractive appearance than at present. The early spring has caused the flowers to bloom profusely, and their beauty was never more striking. Large numbers of visitors are now in the city, and every day happy parties may be seen enjoying the delightful drive in and around the city, where beautiful flowers, picturesque scenery, and lovely weather, con tribute to the health and enjoyment of hun dreds who have been driven from their North ern home by the severity of the winter. Wahulla Spiing—one of the most wonderful natural curiosities known to man—situated a few miles south of the city, is the resort of many visitors and citizens, who delight to gaze upon the wondrous beauty of this transparent sheet of water, through which the smallest objects can be dis tinctly seen on the bottom one hundred and eighty feet below. Almost daily excursions are made to this famous spot, where joyous parties indulge in merriment and amusements of all kinds and feast on the delicacies of the season. Hon. Wallace W. Jones, United States Con sul to Messina, has been in the city during the past few days visiting among his many friends. Mr. Jones is a native of Savannah, Ga., but for many years has been an honored citizen of Jefferson county, Florida, from which place he was appointed to his present honorable position. As the time for the meetiag of the Legisla ture approaches, interest in the election of a United States Senator increases. From the outlook at present, Ex-Gov. Wm. D. Bloxham, of this city, seems to be the choice by a very decided majority. (1). (2). (3). Horace Creely Taken For a Hackdrlver. Horace Greely, finding himself in Washing ton on Thursday evening, soon after the elec tion of Colfax as Speaker, determined to at tend the Speaker’s reception. He accordingly arrayed himself in his usual neat and fashion able costume, boots like young gunboats, pan taloons rather the worse of the wear, of Chat ham street stock, and a couple of inches too short at that, veBt cheap and old-fashioned, black silk handkerchief tied round nis neck as you'd tie a wisp of straw around a bundle of cornstalks, overcoat long, threadbare and dirty withal, the whole surmounted by a hat of the fashion of twenty years previous, hung on the back of his head, and inclining at an angle of forty-five degrees. He made his way to Four-and-a-half street, ascended the steps of the Speaker’s house, and fell into the rear of a large and elegantly-dressed crowd of ladies and gentlemen, pressing their way to the parlor. On such occasions there is always a good deal of trouble with the hackmen. They will insist upon disregarding the rules in these cases made and provided, that they shall move to the other side of the street as fast as they are relieved of their gay and precious burdens, so as to prevent a general blockade, and to make way for those who are yet to come. Sometimes there is quite a row between the masters of outside ceremonies and an obsti nate Jehu who attempts to ignore or disregard the rules of vehicular discipline. Mr. Greeley was quietly waiting his turn on the occasion referred to, or, rather was leisurely waiting on the doorsteps for the “rush” to cease, not taking much notice of what was going on around him, composing a tariff article or an amnesty pronunciamento for the Tribune, perhaps, when a Milesian gentlemen, who had been officiating as a sort of outside usher, dashed at him in a fit of great rage, and told him if he didn’t move on his blanked old hack, he’d start his team for him and let them go to the warmest of places if they liked. The Tribune philosopher reminded his assailant that this was a clear case of mistaken identity. “I’m not a hack driver, sir, you are mistaken altogether.” “Ain’t you the owner of that pair of grays?” inquired the officiating Hiber nian. “No, sir; my name is Greeley; I’ve come to attend the reception.” The truth now flashed upon the Irish mind that he had gross ly insulted the editor of the Tribune, and he commenced appologizing. “Yon see, sir,” said he, “we have a great deal of trouble with these hackdrivers, and upon my honor, sir, when I saw you standin’ there I thought you were the man that dhruv up that pair o’ hor ses.” Greely laughed, said no apology was necessary, and walked in to see t'olfax and the reception. At Albany, Ga., on Thursday, the 17th, Mr. John I). Pope and Miss Alice Hay were mar ried. The occasion was one of the most bril liant events of the season. The bride is the daughter of Mr. G. M. Hay, proprietor of the Artesian House, and the groom is the son of Judge D. H. Pope, a promiuent member of the Albany bar, and is himself a rising young law yer, and the partner of his father. The ceremony was performed according to the rites of the Episcopal Church by the Rev. E. W. Bumstead, of Americus, Ga. The attendants were, Mr. Frank Shiffred with Miss Fanny Johnson, Mr. N. J. Conyer with Miss Dollie Tarver, Mr. R. H. Warren with Miss Janie Weston, Mr. W. E. Cutliff with M ss Ella Hay, Mr. Davis Freeman with Miss Julia Pope, Mr. H. A. Taiver, Jr., with Miss Ella Mitchell.. Ushers—Messrs. 3. L. Weston and W. E. Wooten. The wedding march was artistically rendered by Mrs. C. M. Clark. The floral decorations of the double parlors were elabor ate. The presents were truly handsome and nu merous. The dining-room was festooned, and a wed- Talk about “Booms”—wedon't kiow any thing about them. Chattanooga is having a splendid “boom” (so-called). Anniston is having a “boom;” and Selma is having a “boom;” and Sheffield and Birmingham—and Fort Smith and Fort Scott are having “booms”—and now the obscure little “bnrg” of New York is putting on airs and presumes to claim a “boom” too—all because she sold a little patch of ground the other day at the rate of one dollar and five cents a square inch! The presumption of some people, and the ar rogant assumptiveness of some insignificant villages like New York, cannot be accounted for. To cap the climax, a little island out ia the Pacific ocean intrudes itself and claims the highest rise in real estate ever known—that in New York not excepted: The rise at Mauna Loa has been amazing—it has risen five miles high. Heat manifests itself in certain nomena, Molecular motion is capable of produc ing the same phenomena, By hypothesis there is such a thing as molecular motion; Therefore, heat is molecular motion! A positive conclusion affirmed, where even a hypothet cal one would have been a non se- quitur! Now on just such logic as this are many of the most positive and most important statements of these text books based, when based on anything at all. It is simply shame ful, outrageous. What I contend for is that fact should be set down as fact, and hypothe sis as hypothesis; that the premises for every conclusion should be clearly stated, and every deduction be made in the presence of the stu dent. The one great hypothetical element that enters into most all these conclusions is the molecular theory of the constitution of matter. You have said, Doctor, that this hy pothesis lies at the base of all science, that it is a common root from which they all spring. Now I want to call your attention to the fact that you fail to distinguish between science and treatises upon science—two very different things. In this book, a treatise on Physic, I find that the molecular theory is laid down as an axiom—at least it is stated axiomatically without an at tempt at demonstration or a word of ex planation—and it not only enters in as a pre mise to every deduction, but is made the basis of all ultimate explanation. So far you are correct But it by no means follows that this. theory bears the same relation to Science; its existence as a fact at all is yet to be demon strated. Establish your premise, Doctor, and the conclusion is established, but not other wise. For my own part I have no hesitancy in say ing that I believe the hypothesis to be utterly false, for reasocs too numerous to mention, but which must suggest themselves to every honest intelligent thinker who takes the trouble to examine it carefully by the light of comm on- sense and reason. But I am perfectly willing it should run the course, as many another far more reasonable and consistent theory has done, and wait the sure and imparting verdict of Time, assured that Truth, at least, is im mortal atd will in the end come forth victori ous over all error and falsehood. But I must insist that things be called by their right names, and not be allowed to assume an undue and undeserved importance from the bestowal of a false and flattering one. One thing is sure. This Hypothesis true or false contains the germs, the essence, is the embodiment in embryo, of a Materialistic Phi losophy as universal in its application as radi cal and revolutionary in its tendency; destined if true to overturn and destroy every pre-exist ing system of thought, philosophy and faith, and substituting itself therefor recreate the scien: ific, moral and social world anew, not out of the debris of the old but out of its all sufficient Self. Denying God not only in Creation, but in Control; banishing Him not only from the phys ical but from the moral and intellectual world; and substituting in His stead Natural Law and Molecular Force, the beautiful dream of the grand old Greeks is to be reversed in the com plete materialization of the spiritual, instead of the dreamed-of spiritualization of the mate rial; and, body soul and spirit, man stand forth at last as offspring of the beasts, and brother to the clod! That these things are not the product of my excited fancy, but are the actual hopes and fond anticipations of the Apostles of this Phi losophy let me read yon from Michael Foster’s article on “Physiology” in the Bit. Ency— Ninth Ed. Vol. xix, page 12-13. Under the definition of Physiology, speaking of changes in scope and extension the science has under gone, the learned Doctor indulges in the fol lowing bit of prophetic-rhapsody: “Looking forward into the far future, ‘we may perhaps dimly discern the day when mor phology and physiology will again join hands, and all the phenomena of living beings, both those which rtlate to form and those which re late to action, will be seen to be the common outcome of the same molecular processes.' ” Again on page 13 in discussing the problems to be met and considered by future physiolo gists he makes use of the following strong and unmistakable language: “And lastly we have to attack the abstruser problems of how these neural vibrations, often mysteriously attended with changes of con- ciousness, as well as the less subtle vibrations of the contracting muscles, are wrought out of the explosive chemical decomposition of the nervons and muscular substances,—that is, how the energy of chemical action is transmuted into and serves as the supply of that vital ener gy which appears as movement, feeling and thought." If this is not enough take Paul Clifford’s ex ultant cry of: “We have now no longer any need for the hypothesis of a God.” I could multiply quotations, but it Is not necessary. For my part I am willing to let them boast, to let them “have their laugh first” if it will give them pleasure. I know what is true; and I know that truth will be victorious in the end. If my poor puny hands can do but ever so lit tle toward hastening the final triumph, I shall not feel that I have lived in vain. If men would always use their reason! There is a vast difference between science and specula tion. If men would only be careful to distin guish them. It is a sham that ignorant or dis honest (they are one or the other) men should be allowed to write our text books, and that our teachers should so often be speculators or dogmatists. The Doctor: But, Judge, listen to me a j moment. Suppose that this mo'ecular hypo- 1 thesis, as is claimed for it, has been found to j be everywhere consistent with all observed phenomena, has served to explain many per plexing problems, and been the means of bringing to light many interesting and valua ble facts, is it entitled to lay aside the name of “hypothesis” and take the more honorable of “a truth,” a scientific fact? And may it not take its place alongside all other facts with equal right and title? m MORE COWBOYS. Montana Cattle Industry Near ly Ruined. The Days of Wealthy Cattle Kings Nearly Numbered. The present winter marks without a doubt in epoch in cattle raising in the Northwest. Despite the stories of the Arctic rigors of other winters. “Way back in the ’60s,” told by an occasional old timer, it is doubtful if this country has seen for twenty-five years any season more severe. Nowhere have its effects been more seriously felt than in Montana. The Territorial papers are full of tale* of disaster to the ranges, but in the despatches to the press much of the truth is naturally suppressed. , For over two months the stock has been al most entirely without food and exposed to in tense cold, and when the spring thaw does oome, numbers of the worst sufferers will be too weak, and as stockmen say, “too disoour- aged,” to recover. The therm jmeter has recorded ss low as 67 degrees below zero in Northern Montana, and for many weeks it has remained sreadily at extremely low figures. For the first ten days in February the average was 20 below. This extreme temperature, combined with lack of grass snd hard-crusted snow two feet deep, has exhausted even the hardiest animals on the range. Many thousands of foreign cattle, too, were driven into the territory last summer, and among these, unacclimated and wearied by driving, the havoc has been fearful. At no time was stock ever less prepared for such a winter than daring tbe past autumn. The range, already half bare in many sections from overttocking, has been shrivelled by a drought the like of which waa never known be_ fore. Large numbers of cattle, through some agreement between the owners and the agents, were driven upon the Indian reserves of the North, where feed had not been entirely con sumed, but where thousands of them have since met death upon the opeo, unsheltered prairie. Stockmen who have recently ridden the ranges are very reticent, but occasion* ly whispered report is heard from a reliable source revealing a frightful state of affairs. At some points hundreds of cattle have been f'jund dead in a single coulee, and one man re cently in from a trip np the Missouri claims to have counted several thousand carcasses in five days of travel. Cattlemen of sound and conservative opin ions assert their belief that the average loss will be fully 65 per cent, for the whole Territo ry under the most hopeful issne of affairs. Sheep raisers are suffering to almost the same extent as the cattlemen, despite the ex tra shelter and feeding their flocks get. In some cases cattie owners, seemingly struck by a presentiment of the future, made liberal offers last fail to purchasers or insurers of their herds. One of the largest of these owners near Helena offered $200,000 for such insurance without finding any takers. By the blind confide ace hitherto displayed in what is called out here the “ruatling” system of win tering cattle, the greater portion of the whole wealth of the vast territory of Montana has been staked each year, as it were, upon the single tarn of a die. Such a winter as the present may happen any year, but “sixes” have been thrown near ly twenty times in succession, and the stake has each year been doubled with the gambler’s unfailing confidence in his abi ity to turn the lucky number forever. Now, on the first trick of the die he loses his entire pile, minus per haps what he has spent on cigars and drinks during the game. His losses involve thou sands of friends who have backed his luck. Among these the banks are the principal sufferers. In the town of Helena alone it is said loam upon cattle security inflict most se rious loss. In the Territory itself the money depression, extending as it does to nearly all branches of trade and employment, will be felt for years to come, and of course many capital ists in the East are severely injured. The result of all this is inevitable, and will soon appear. Stock raising on the ‘‘rustling” plan must cease andjptock farming take its ilace. The days of the cattle king are virtual- y over, here as elsewhere. Many of the ter ritorial papers are already urging a change in the system of raising, both on the ground of pecuniary policy and (what is resily singular and indicative of revolution in Western ideas of humanity) to the stock itself. Their argu ments will receive especial attention at the present moment, for a few well known raisers have for a year or two past practiced the reed ing system; and the contrast between their ex perience and the general ruin of the rest, du ring this season, points a moral that all must read. Another transcontinental line will push its way across North Montana during the coming summer, and in a very few years the best ranges and their wealthy kings, the round-up and the cow-boy, and all of the romantic fea tures of “cattle raising in the far West” will have become but traditions; and in their stead will reign the prosaic, but humane, thrifty and successful method of the Eastern cattle farmer. DIED LEAVING MANY MILLIONS Chris lan Ax, Tobacco Manufacturer, and a Prominent Cerman- Amerlcan. Baltimore, March 20.—Christian Ax, the millionaire tobacco manufacturer, a member of the firm of Gail & Ax, dud to-day. He was one of the most prominent Germans in the United states and well known all over the country. During the last war between France and Germany he organized a German relief society and contributed thousands of dollars himself to the German sufferers. During the civil war he supported the govern ment stong- ly, and in 1862 and later his advice about rev enue and other matters was often sought by officials in Washington. He was an intimate friend of General Grant. Rev. John White, a colored preacher of Greenwood, Ark., who will be 102. years old in July, has taken ont a lioense to marry Mrs. Eddie Smith, who is a giddy girl of sixty-five summers. The Rev. John has been preaching eighty-one years and has been married twice. Extraordinary Club List. The Sunny South and Any Other Paper or Magazine at About the Price of One. Clubbed with Dailies at Less than the Price One. Requier, the Poet. CLAUDIUS RHKTT. Augustus Julian Requier, who died in New York city, on the 19th March, at the age of 62, was one of those Southern poets of whom we are very justly proud. He was born, and educated in Charle? South Carolina, and was admitted to the bar at the age of nineteen. From early youth he gave evidence of pos sensing superior intellectual ability, and be fore he attained his majority, bad written “The Spanish Exile,” and other works of merit. From South Carolina he removed to Ala bama in the year 1850, and soon distinguished himself in the legal profession. Three years later, he was appointed United States District Attorney, and was subsequently elected judge of tbe Superior court of Alabama. Several of the best poems which were writ ten during the war came from his pen, name ly, “An Ode to Victory,” and “Ashes of Glory.” These last mentioned lines, were ad dressed to the Confederate flag, after the sur render of the Southern armies and are append ed below.

By special arrangement with the leading publishers we are able to offer the most liberal clubbing rates that have ever been presented to the public. Examine the list and see for yourself. Any leading paper or magazine maj be secured with the Suknt South at very nearly the price of one. For instance, the reg alar subscription prioe to Puck is $5 and the Scent South $2, but we furnish them both for 15.75. No subscription for less than a years will b* forwarded for other publications. All complaints in regard to other papers most be addressed to the publishers of those papers, and not to the Suxkt 'South. The Sunxt South must be included In each and every order for any other publication. That is, a person cannot order one copy of the Sunnt South and two, three, or a half a dozen other papers. The Sunnt South must be or dered with each. We give our old subscribers the benefit ol these clubbing rates when they renew for a year, but they cannot renew their subscriptions with other papers though this scheme. They can only get the benefit of these rates when ordering publications to which they are not al ready subscribers. Examine the list and secure your reading matter at these reduced figures.
