James Clement Ambrose, has been taking observations in the South, ami giving his impressions of this section through the columns of the Northwestern Christian Advocate. Here is one extract from his writings: “Another point tve need to think of before loenting nil ruffianism south of the Ohio is this: It has been our habit to hold the whole south respon sible and abusablc for each outrage committed there, while here wc don t reproach even a township thats the scene of barbarity with being itself barbarous. For instance, Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Joiner, plain, pious and pcnceable people of years, were as Faulted and wounded with firearms in their parsonage in North Carolina, and straightway the religious and republican press of the north bulle lined it as illustrating the ruffian habits, not of Randolph county or the state, but of the south ; yet March 14th, on the train hearing them from that state to Cincinnati, I noted in the New York Tribune a dispatch relating the trial at Whitehall, Wis., of thirty persons for having taken a man by night from his home and hanged him to a tree by the front door, his wife and children watching the crime from the window, then serv ing coffee to the crowd. So there was committed a more infamous crime, with marks of lower civiliza tion, in Wisconsin, than in North Carolina; yet not Wisconsin, nor other citizens than those that took part, were censured ; and, outside that community, the ofleuse was dropped from the day it was telegraphed to the day of trial, while the lighter of fense is kept green by press drippings here, and a dozen states black-balled fo r the crime of a handful of dark- woods rascals of the “dirty white ’ hue! Mixed up With Politics. The Rev. T. DeWitl Talmage, in the current issue of the Christian Herald, of which lie is editor, says: “The Temperance cause is now so mixed up with politics that moral Euasion is being sadly neglected. There used to l>e|bcld a hundred temperance meetings where now there is one meeting now. While we are discuss ing the laws on the subject of liquor- selling, we are letting hundreds of men and women go to ruin for lack of proper instruction on the impor tance of abstinence. We want in the country ten thousand old-fashioned John B. Gough temperance meetings. But you say, wlieic arc the John B. Goughs? They are now in our schools and colleges and farm houses, arc already in the occupations and professions of life. The eloquence to come is greater than the eloquence passed away. Bv all means make tbc laws right, but let us by force of Christian persuasion stop the stampede to death of multitudes who will not wait until wc get the laws what they ought to be. We need to work more rapidly on this subject than formerly. In olden times it took most men five or ten years to become thorough drunkards- Now they may reach the foot of the stairs by one jump, because of the worst adulteration of libuors. Youag meu used to go on a spree and then coiue hack and go to work. Now we have confirmed drunkards at twenty-one. It is the most urgent duty of all ministers of reTgion and nil reformers to put forth unwonted eflorts in ihc direction of moral suasion. Other things need to he done, hut this must not he left un done." The Alliance Picnic at Metcalfe. Bob Mitchell Endorsed—20 Pound Melons —&ther Items of Interest. Kilitor Tires-Kmeiii'IU.-e: The Alliance and School picnic Friday, was a success in every way At an early hour, vehicles loaded to their utmost, began to pour into Met call'c from every direction, and by 10 o'clock, a good humored crowd of 400 or 500 had gathered in the grove north of the depot, bound on one days pleasure and recreation. And well they might, for beside the diversion from the worry and toil of the farm, it was certainly a pleasure to listen to the words of wisdom,sympathy and encouragement of lion. Richard Turnbull, of Monticello, to his brother alliance men. The speaker, by his earnestness, zeal and enthusiasm, held the strict attention of his audience, and the hearty applause his “fit words aptly spoken” received showed its ap preciation. Dick Turnbull, as lie is familiarly called, is one of nature’s noblemen, and the most worthy cause in which lie is engaged has 11011c more sincere in its advocacy. H011. R. G. Mitchell followed in an address to the school. Those who have heard him know with what ease lie al ways handles his subject, and in this particular instance, if possible, lie sur passed himself. He held his audience in breathless expectancy and swayed them, as wheat by the maddening storm, by his eloquent plea for a high er and better education. Not a few were the tears suppressed by his allu sion to a time that was, but shall be no more forever, hut ere they left their fountain head, by a plcasaut re minder, were dried by the happy sun shine of the more prosperous present, and hope of a more glorious future. He completely captivated the fair sex, and the frequent remark of the men was “Boh Mitchell cannot ask too much of me.” Just here we di gress long enough to endorse “Citi zen” in Sunday’s Daily, and say that R. G. Mitchell will he taken care of in this part of the county, any time the occasion calls. Alter the speaking came dinner, and hero words fail us. It was a reg ular democratic dinner—plenty of such things as only the good house wives of this vicinity can prepare and a bountiful surplus left. It was no fault of ours, though, for the writer, ably seconded by half a score of oth ers equally as good or better in that line, tried to do away with the “sur plus. - ’ \Ve won’t do so any more. That is the first and the last time we ever tried to he a republican—if they feci as loaded under the weight of hoodie 11s wc did after our vain efforts, it’s a wonder there is enough left to organize a party. After 4 o’clock Sunday school, bug gy rides and afternoon strolls are pleasures largely indulged in by our young people. On a certain Sunday not many weeks ago, while a couple, belonging to the latter class, were en joying themselves, all unseen, as they thought, the young man noticed a thread hanging from his angel’s dress, and thought he’d step on it to pull it away; lie did so, and told her to wa'k on and it would come all right. She walked on, never looking hack, ten, twenty and then thirty yards, while he stood in utter amazement at its un folding length; flnahy he said ; “Hold on, I think you arc coming unraveled or something else bad the matter." She stopped, made a hurried investi gation, the outcome of which wc have yet to learn. E. I». Wheeler, J. (A Walker and W. II. Saunders have been exhibiting •JO pound Kolb Gems in Metcalfe. We merely throw this oat as a feeler, and if any one “sees it,” and goes us a little better, wc will give the weight of our champion, though a waste and loss lie entailed. Mr. Walker alone will ship twenty-live car loads in 011c week. Monroe it W heeler have received a handsome soda ioout, and in a day or so will he ready to ses velhe public with the ice cold sizzling beverage. Success to you gentlemen (that’s enough to get a free glass or two, on, uiut it? We are hound to “tote” fair in this thing, even if wo do have to run some risks). “Cigars, please,” said a tall rural swain to a drug clerk a few days since’ -PROPRIETOR— ThomasYille-:- Bottling WORKS, Manufacturer and Dispenser of .SODA anil M1XKKAL WATKKS, carbonated with MATlIltAL imported from the Mineral .Springs on the Rhine.

Branded as a Thief. Quay's “dignified silence’ and “speechless contempt” do not awe or shame the New York Evening Post, which reiterates its charges against him in the following concise language: That Matthew S. Quay, United States senator from Pennsylvania, stole S2li0,000 from the state treasury of Pennsylvania, and lost it in gam- blimg ; that in his despair lie contem plated suicide and made a confidant of ‘Chris’ Magee, now, as then, a prominent republican politician of Pittsbug; that he was saved through the intervention of Don Cameron, United States senator from Pennsyl vania, and a republican, who ad vanced the necessary money; and that this was done through the medi um of Wayne MacVcah, a promiuent lawyer of Philadelphia and ex-attor ney general of the I'nited States, under a republican president.” And yet this mail is Harrison’s right hand man, handles the cam paign hoodie, buys the votes, and is j a shining light in the republican par-1 ty.
