The programme of the temperance

church last night was a very enter

opened by several well rendered songs
and an earnest prayer by Rev. Dr.
Martin, invoking heaven’s benedic-

Mr. J H Steams supplemented the
programme by a few interesting re.
marks in behalf of the temperance
work. He related an anecdote of
Thomas Hood, who said that while
he was in Belgium the Hear were so

the temperance workers will organ

the evils of intemperance.

sac« work. There was never a time
when there was such geDernl and
unanimous feeling on the subject of
temperauce as them is to-day. The
public mind ba» been oonattutly en
lightened by numerous books as to
the evil results of intoxicating drinks.
Id . England they are spending
$750,000,000 anuually for intoxicat
ing drink, and at least ms much more
on account of the result*. There are
in this country 300,000 Irish and
500,000 Germans who have been ac.
customed to milder drinks in the old
country, but who acquire a tnste tor
stronger beverages here. In New
York there are 10,000 places where
liquor is sold, yet tho feeling in New
York on the temperance subject was
never stronger or more general than
it is now. It is held by many that
THE PROTECTIVE POLICY.
Journals that have {been howlii
about promotion for .American indi
tries will do well to read the folio
ing fact*, which have been compil'
by the Vincennes (Ind.) News.
Very few persons realize the enor
mous tax they are compelled to pai
iu consequence of this so-called pro4
tective policy of the United States. '
From statistic* within our reach wq
find that the people of the United
States use about 120,000,000 of blafgjj
kets annually. The duty on tbtm.
blanket*,»ft -imported, amounts toj
about 86 per c*.nL of ^hat tb
would cost free of duty. Hence
bnying a blanket nearly ball we
for it is tax. In other word* we
each year $10,762,688 f<
and $7,247,312 tb ' the m
as tax, which we would not have to
pay were there no duty. On this
amount of taxes the government in
1879 got $1,233 that being the
amount of duty collected on import
ed blankets.
Again in the matter of cotton fab
rics. The home production of oot
ton fabrics for 1879 is put down bv
a good statistician at $350,000,000.
Allowing that competition reduces
this one-third, we still find that the
American people pay to the manu
factures $87,500,000.
The government now get* a reve
nue ot $5,577,000 on tbe cotton goods
imported. Thus it goes all the way
tbrongh.
From tbe same source from which
the above figures come we learn that
the people pay to the maoutactnrera
of woolen goods every veir $124,520,-
000. Tbe government gets $16,868,-
860 as tariff on this class of goods,
which the consumers also pay.
On pig iron we pay Pennsylvania
manufacturers a tax of $16,108,505
yearly; to the Government only
$613,032.
On steel rail* we pay an annual
tax of $13,994,876, of which the Gov
ernment gets 872,640.
Thus on these lour or five classes
of goods the people of tbe United
Slates pay a tax of $^59,138,064 each
year being nearly half what they pay
for the articles themselves, while of
this sum the government gets bnt
little over $34,000,000.
And who pays this stupendous tax?
It is the farmer and laboring inan,
every person who buys a plow or bar
row or implement with iron in it;
every person who buys a yard of cal
ico or muslin, a coat or bat, every
man who sells a bu-hel of grain, or
sends a drove of hogs to market, pays
a part ot it in the increased rate of
freight he has to pay.

j Escape Prom Jail.
What J. K. Ran lall Has to Say About the Tl/O prisoners, white men, in tha
1 Clarke county jail, pined for liberty
till they couldn’t afford to pine any
longer, and so, on Wednesday night
they went, 'nd stood not upon the
order of .their going. Their names
were Lura Fisher and John Nolan,
and they were in jail to await their
trial for the offense of stealing cotton.
Their flight will be considered by
tho world at forge as a plea ot guilty;
but they care little for the world at
large so long as they are at large
themselves.- '
The door to the cell occupied by
these prisoners was fastened with a
hasp and staple. Tho staple is rnado
of round iron, and 13 nearly or quite
an inch in diameter. By some means
they broke the staple at tho point
where it enters tho wood. This let
them out of the cell into a sort of hall
which runs beside three or four
cells, and which they were at
liberty to occupy in the day time.
From this hall there was a small barr
ed window opening iuto tbe general
hall. They sawed one of .the burs
in two and got into this hall. This is
in the second story, and going through
an opeD trap-door to the space be-
tweenjthe ceiling and tho roof, they
had no difficulty iu getting out upon
the roofj'/romjfrom whence they let
themselves down by their blankets
tied together to serve as a rope. Oae
of them who had a fiddle in jail tool:
it with him. How they managed to
get a purchase on. that staple 30 as to
break it, and to saw tho window bar
in two, without being discovered, is a
mystery. An examination of these
points every day would reveal the
fact if they had been tampered with.

It is a mistaken notion that a fine

that it pays better to spend less in

Mrs. F H Bulges* lives in Sand
wich, Mass., on the hank of a charm
ing lake. It baa been her custom
once or twice a day for quite a period
teed tbe fish in this lake. She first
splashes the water with her hand,
when in a moment there may be seen
approaching from even' direction
hundreds of forge shiners, then eels
•trying in size from one to about
three feet in length. Next turtles
appear on the surface, ten, twenty
and thirty feet away, their neck*
stretched apparently to see whether
is friend or foe who is disturbing
the water*. In less than three min
utes these various species collect di
rectly before her, and as she com
mences to feed them the water ia fiur-
alive with them.' They take bread
irectly from her bauds, and turtles
will allow her to take them entirely
out of tbe water, and while she holds
them in one band they will eat with
great voracity from the other. But
tiie eels were the most amusing.
There} waa one she called Qcinn,
measuring about three feet in length,
that repeatedly came to tbe surface
and would glide back and forth
through ber hands, and several times
she lifted him partially out of the
water, but lie was careful to keep his
head under. The moment be saw
daylight he woald dart beck as only
an eel could.

Twenty years ago Conkling, Blaine
Allison Windom and Wil-on were all
Republican members of the House to
gether. They were all poor at that
time—very poor. . They were about
the same age, had about the ' same
start, and have been in pnblio life
constantly. Blaine is now a million'
aire; Allison, ot Iowa, in tbe Senate i*
another millionaire; Sherman is trebly
a millionaire; Windom ia a million'
aire; Wiliam has also got to be' very
rich. Roecoe Conkling. the ablest-
greatest, proudest of them all, ia poor
to-dav. No man came *0 near to be
acting President of this country dur
ing the eight years of Grant as Conk
ling. No man in .Washington, ex
cept Grant bad aueb power, such in

Conkling did not profit by them. Ht>

the difference between him and other

Seiner Georgia Senator.
r - AugQBta Chronicle.
I calleJ on Senator Hill recently.
He has bad all the glands on the left
side of his throat removed, an opera
tion which wag painlessly performed,
thanks to the blessed discovery of
ether. His hopes are that the disease
has been eradicated irons the tongne,
and that it will not reappear again in
the throat. But he is a man of nerve,
and not disposed to conceal irorn him
self or friends the doubtful character
of his complaint. He says: ‘If I re
cover, it is well. If I die, it ia also
well. While I think, it strange that
a man whose constitution wa* formed
by physical labor on the farm, and
wfio."u]S'lo a year ago, never had C
day ot ill-health, should be afflicted
with an inexplicable disorder of the
blood, I tesign myself into the hands
of my Creator, who will do with me
what seems best to Him, and either
raise me up for further usefulness, or
summon me away. I await with pa
tience cither event.* , iWhile it is true
that Mr. Hill niakea, no complaint of
his bodily suffering, ills mind, never
more brilliant or suggestive, chafes
againBt restraint, and he has to be
checked by his devoted wife when
some animated theme spurs him to
copious and eloquent utterance. He
welcomes the visas of bis friends and
insists upon'earnest conversation, but
I am not so sure that this exertion is
beneficial, to him. He is like a caged
lion, and regrets that he could not
have participated in recent senato
rial debates. He is full of a speech
the political condition of
Virginia. ‘It ought to be made,’
he says, ‘but I do not know
whether I will be able to make it or
not.’ I told him that the republican
congressmen expressed much sympa
thy for him, sud be smiled when
repeated wbat oue of the stalwarts
had said in my presence. It was to
the effect that nature could show no
stranger paradox when sparing the
longue ot a most offensive babbler (I
omit the name), and making war on
the most eloquent tongue in tbe
United Status. The doctors who
have had Mr. Hili in charge express
the opiuion|ihat his tongue is proba
bly secure from further disaster. They
also think that the wound in his throat
will heal healthily, and that the chan
ges are greatly in favor of a gradual
and permanent cure. But Mr. Hill
has all along insisted upon the. frank
est statement, and, from tbe begin
ning, assured Mr. Gross that he could
endure even a {death sentence from
bi* lips without fliouhing. It was in
expressibly pathetic to see so much
intellectual and physical power held
to gr,“LTi?°eV 1 fllS!S‘.g l
erectly surrendering bis will to that
of God, and content to abide the
best or worst result. He is missed
from the senate by everybody, and
thure will be general rejoicing when
Mr. Frye shall have no further reason
to say, as he is called upon to vote :
1 am paiied with the senator from
Georgia, Mr. Hill,” and when “our

The “Free Love-League,” one of
the numerous disgusting progeny of
“isms,” of which New England claims
tbe paternity, held its annual sessien
in Boston a few days ago. Resolu

the natural liberty of the sexes as tbe
only perfect solution of the polygamy
question, and endorsing polygamy as
practiced by the Mormons. As a re
sult of this ‘free love’dactrine,a statis
tician shows that in “cultured” Mass
achusetts the crimes against chastity
from 1869 to 1879 were 2,220; ille
gitimate births for the same period,
4,891; divorces, 3,787, Tbe decrease
in the number of marriages for tbe
same period were 5,449.
