A Fishing Boct—A Fmnll party of gen

went down to Florida thus armed and

the deep from their pluvial homes :

By Legal Power.
Several ol the Stßte papers—secular ns
well ns religions—nre calling upon the leg
islature to react prohibitory laws with
regard to the sale of hquor. Some are
urgent in their n| peals; others almost de
nit neintory.
Upon this subject there is n diversity of
opinion. Some believe it unconstitutional
to ennet lows spci ifying what n person shall
eat or what he shnll di ink ; for if it be right
to say what he shall do in ref, rencc to these,
the right might also be claimed —reasoning
upon this hypothesis—to my what the color
or texture ol his hat or coot shhlf hie. On
the other hand, it is contend'd that, as in
toxicating liqnors are injurious, the law
making power Ims th' right to interpose its
mandate in restrict!,ig or prohibiting its use
or its sale ns it does that of other injurious
articles. 'I here are very many nhle advo
cates of each of these propositions, and each
ride is armed and panoplied with an array
of argnment hard to meet. Troth to say.
to one who may be undecided, it were a
d ffieull thing to determine on which side to
stand. What, then should he do who has
doubts ns to which is right? Lot him stmlv
it out for himself, closely, analytically. Ix-t
him nrgue intelligently, by the aid of all the
experience he cun muster, and then let his
conscience assist him in coming to a conclu
sion.
Now. many good men sell whiskey—so do
good men sell arsenic. This only proves
that even good men will sometimes engage
in a bad business. Rut whether hgal loree
will he a more iflectual agency than moral
suasion in stopping the sale of an article
known to be dangerous, is just at this time
an undecided enigma If legal force is in
voked the sale is stopped, but the vendor
believes he is badly wronged. On the other
hand, if the grand instrumentality of moral
suasion comes forward, then ihe color of the
mutter is changed, and he who was ennsid
ered cruelly wronged by Ihe one deems him
self jolly vindicated by the other.
In some things legal force is necessary—
absolutely essentiul—to a proper enforce
ment or snvlainmrnt of the public weal ;
but in regard tosumptnarv Inws. great ran
lion should be observed, lest the legitimate
boundaries be overstepp'd. It is necessary
in eases where any other remedy would he
worse than useless ; hut with reference to
the sale of liquors, why not leave it to the
public—which, nt last, is the ultimate
arbiter in all such cn=es. While it would
be a cause of joy were there not a drop of
whiskey upon the face of the earth, still, as
its sale is tolerated by law. jus! the same as
vinegar, syrup, and many other commodities,
let not the fierce storm of wrath, surcharged
with holts forged in the sinithery of an un
reasonable or an insane antagonism, break
over the heads of those who purchase the
tight to deni in it. When the State refuses
to prolbng or renew that right, will he time
enough to hurl these bolts against them.
Knelt one mit«t decide for himself which
is tight. The Wrfki.t has no desire to
dictate. It leaves the subject with those
who are more immediately interested in
results than w<> are.
A Creditable Showing. —'The Augusta
Chronicle, in the conclusion of an article on
tlie financial condition ot that city, thn*
sum* op resnlts. It is certainly grntifying
that, with a bonded debt of over $2 000 000,
the benutiful border city is so creditably
established :
Every obligation is promptly met; every
dollar of interest paid when due and on de
mand. Every department of her govern
ment is in admirable working order. Econ
omy marks the management of tho adminis
tration in every quarter. Her people are
prosperous; their indiv’dual credit isiqual
tn that of any o'her community ; and her
securities among the best in the country.
Paw Passu. —The Madisonian having
boasted over Ihe improvements going on in
Madisoe, raid improvements consisting of
the erection of one flight of s'ep? to a store
door, the local of the Americas Recorder
comes to the front also. He declares Mad
bon shall not go ahead of his town ; and to
make his o c sertion good be obtains the con
sent of a merchant to erect steps to the
second floor of the building. Now. that is
a rivalry that will tell, c nro. Go on, gen
tlemen ; but don’t overdo the thing.
Little Credit.—No intelligent man will
give much credit to the declaration of Grant
that he will not be n candidate for the Pres
idency in 1880 Giant is ambitions ; Grant
is greedy, und these combined will move
him to a reconsideration of any determina
tion be may have arrived at. Wait until
be gets in the clutches of his friends here at
home, ard then we’ll see which way the
river runs.
Mr. Stephens. —Mr. Stephens is enjoying
his visit to the north with sonie'hing likehia

Rev. \V. 11. 11. Murray.
It woo Id, perhaps, be ungracious to speak
of the Rev. Mr. Murray’s career a* ended,
says the Philadelphia 'limes. His friend
still ptofess laitb io him and ate confident
* - *•. •
difficulties all right. They are equally sure
that he will be able to explain whatever ap
pears suspicion* in his recent conduct, and
re-establish his reputation as a Uhristian
gentleman. Every right minded person will
devontlv hope thrt! the»o anticipations mnv
be realized. The fall of any man is sad
enongli, but that of a prominent clergyman
i« most pitiful and difonnrnging. At test,
however, it is quite impossible that Mr
Murray should pver a.rain stand on so high a
p'oee ns lie occupied but a short t : me ago.
A minister never recovers from the r fleets of
financial on'anglements ard uncial scandal
even though he mav prove that no'hing
worse than imprudence involved him in
them.
The contrast between the prond position
of nsetulness which the pastor of the lending
Congregational church in Boston occupied a
few years ago, and the nnfortnnntp condition
of the fancy hoise raiser and buck board
wagon manufacturer, involved in debt ard
vainly sought by a crowd of creditors, is a
striking one. And it is nut without les
sons. The most obvions one is that lesson
which so many Americans have taught, and
yet which so many will only learn by bitter
experience— the folly of one man’s trying to
do many things. Mr. Murray was a very
clever man—in some directions a brilliant
one. He was an attractive and forcible
preacher, with a capacity for growth that
might have won him high rank in his pro
fession. He had in him the makings of an
editor, and if he had devoted himself to Ihe
business might have given (lie country what
it has never h d—a thoroughly first-class
religious newspaper He had a fondness for
horses, which, with a sufficient income,
would, no doubt, have made him a rival of
Bonner in the extent and vilne of his stnd.
He had the genuine Yankee push which has
been at the bottom of so many fortune*, and
had lie devoted himself to business, ought to
have stood more than an even chance ot be
coming rich enough to gratify a Bonner’s
extravagance in horse flesh. With so wde
a range of talents it is not remarkable that
the brilliant young minister should hnve
thought he could succeed in whatever he
might attempt, and no he embarked on one
new project alter another. The result has
been what any less brilliant man would have
assured him was inevitable He |ms failed
in everything, lor. whether he ever returns
to the pulpit or not, hi* success a* a clergy
man in the future is impos-ible. It seems
strange that a minister should not ,«cp what
everybody else does, that the demands of the
clerical profession were never more exacting
than they are to-day; that a man who
knows enough to make po good a paper as
the Golden Rule once was should not per
ceive that the conduct ol a successful jour
nal must engross any man’s best talents;
that an editor should not know lie was the
last man in th" world to attempt making a
fortune at one stroke out of a business
speculation, and that a New Englander,
consecrated to the most sacred of profes-ions,
should not leel the immorality of running
in debt for sneh luxuries ns fast horses. But
so it wo*, and the net result of it all is
a other and most signal warning of the folly
of having too many irons in the fire
There is another moral to which Mr.
Murray’s failure points, and that is Ihe
danger (or the clergyman of forgetting hi*
profession. It would be absurd to censure a
minister for admiring u ho'so, but it is, on
the other hand, unreasonable to expect public
respect for the clergyman who figures a good
share of the time as a jockey. It is not
necessarily unclerical for a minister to invest
money in a btrsine s enterprise, but the
minister who gives hi* name to a new style
of wagon and advertises it all over the
eountry must expeet to be better known in
his ro'e of speculator than as an ambassador
of Christ. It is not necessarily immoral for
a minister to go off on a pha-ure tour with
another woman than his wile, but it would
seem as though the record of clerical scun
duls were long enough to teach every mem
ber of the profession the necessity of avoid
ing even the appearance of evil. The public
is not unreasonable enough to cut off the
clergyman from all enjoyment of the good
things ot life, but it does demand, and very
properly, that the man who professes to
devote Ids life fo saving souls should show
some regard for the proprieties of so sacred
a profession.
A Demand on Ur. Hayes.
Now, Rutherford Bufchard Hayes, Pres
ident of the United Suites in defiance of the
Const itntinn of the United States, counted
in by Z eh Chandler, and placed on the
chair by Grant, taken from the putter and
seated on the throne, are you a man or a
mouse? Snch an opportunity ns is now
witbrn your grasp comes but onee in an era,
and when utilized serves to mark the begin
ning of new epochs. Are you a pame eock
or a dunp-hill rooster If A bobble floating
along on the turbulent waves of destiny, or
a master-spirit evoked from the laboring
ages? A ftuud or a fact? Rutherford,
from your eyrie cast your eye to the South
land, from swaggering Kentucky to lying
Ixmisiana, from chafing Carolina, across
cowardly Mississippi to brutal Texas, and
note the camp- firett of rebellion and hate,
burning in the eyes of the b.-flh'd traiiors
who sought to destroy this nation Note
red-handed murderers and noon-day assassins
sitting in places of honor (providing one
can conceive of an honorable place in such a
land.) and fanning anew the flames of trea
son. see there, down in Yazoo, in old Missis
sippi Yazoo, the pride and glory of rebel
dom, the home of cowardly cut-throats and
Stat s rights ; the lair of human butchers
and State sovereignty ; the entrenched haunt
ot political assassination and last ditch of
Sta e lines; the invulnerable citadel of
murder and roaring champ on of State con
stitutions; the portcullis of treason and
implacable enemy of the nation ; we say.
Kutherlord, look down there, take your cue
(if wo were sure yon were a reality and not
a sham, we would say iusp ration instead of
cue.) proclaim the States of Mississippi and'
Louisiana in open rebellion against the
natioo, and declare every State of the old
rebel Coulederacy into u stute of siege.
Rutherford, dare >ou? The man who dares
not is lost, or drills aloog like a maggot on
a chip into the oblivion from which be
should nev>T have emerged. Thirty million
loyal hearts are behind yon. Rutherford,
we are ready to echo the first note that tells
ol a grand strong purpose. Tins is a nation,
Rutherford, dare you say ? It takes a giant
to pri'oouoce the word from the lofty emi
nence you occupy, a giant with kings of
of lira-*. Rulb'.c/uad, arc
von the man? Dane the proclamation.
Appoint Ben Butler Military Governor of
the insurreetorv province*, with headquar
ters in Yazoo City, in old Mississippi; call
an extra session of Congrpss ; exclude there
from every so-called Senator and Represent
ative from the rebellious territory, and with
a loval Legislature begin the great work of
moulding a plastic nation into form. This is
the heroic method, and requires a hero in
the van. Rutherford, we fear von are not
the man on horseback. The white-winged
couriers of Ihe deep will bring him from the
Orient, where he is now arbitrating the
nflairs of empires whose history takes roots
in the mists of an antiqui y measured by
thousands of years. Grant, the simple
citizen, smoking his cigar, the statesman
without an equal, the soldier without a peer,
is roming, he, for whom the loyal North
watches and waits. —Lemart Sentinel.
Tlio Jews in Palestine.
The land of their p'o i tsed inheritance is
rapidly becoming their own in fee. If we
compare fhe pre*ent time with pi >hfy-three
rears ago, when the Sublime Porte permitted
onlv three hundred to lire within the walls
of the Holy Oily, the change is remarkable.
Forty years since the Porte modified this
original order so that a larger number could
abide there ; hut they were shut up in nar
row and fi'thy quarters, next to the dog and
leper quarters, the object* of contempt anti
eruel oppression*. But even this quarter
restriction was removed ten years ago. And
now the ruling power is in the hand of Great
Britain, and the sceptre itself is in the hand
of an Israelite, and Baron Rothschild hold* a
mortgage on Palestine as security for 200.-
000 000 francs loaned to the Sultan of Tor
key. lr looks very ntneh as if accomplished
fact had put i'self in the place of prophecy.
The Jews, after the quarter restrictions
were removed, bought all the land which
conld he obtained within the gate.*, and have
built entire streets of honses without the
gates. With the improvements inevitable
(rom libtrtv and the possession of homes
have come kindred progressions in provision'
of charity for the destitute and affleted.
The German Jews have six'een ot these
Two journals have been started, and in the
Rothschild and other Jewish hospitals six
thousand patients ate under constant treat
ment. The Venetian Jew* have given sixty
thousand francs to found a school of agrieul
ture; and, in evidence of a progress that
shows divine cate and intervention, the num
ber of Jews has doubled in about ten year*
In 1860 there were not more than seven
thousand Jews, shot np m their quarters
and though a vast improvement on the past,
still they appear to us wretched ensugh to
make the most careless sigh over the mighty
fallen. But in the five succeeding years
they increased to more than thirteen ihou

A NEW MADE GRAVE.
INSCRIBED TO THE MEMORY OF MINNIE NOI.LKY.
In yonder quiet graveyard
Is a new mnde grave to-day ;
Am! the rain is (ailing softly
Down on the mound of clay.
Falling gently and softly
Down on the blossoms (air
Woven in wreaths and crosses
With the tenderest love and care.
God only knoweth the hitter cry,
In the hearts of the mourners to-day,
As they lpave alone with the sobbing rain
The loved one torn rudely away.
Leave her alone in her dreamless sleep,
With pale hands crossed on her breast,
And a look ol peace on her calm, sweet face,
That can only tell of rest.
Leave her, to go to a saddened home,
And the sight of an empty place,
While under the sod and the coffin lid
Is hidden that dear, dear face.
Is it sttange that they find it bard to have
faith—
Hard to submit to Gods will,
As they long lor the touch of a vanished
band,
And the sourd of a voice that’s still?
They almost doubt God’s justice.
Their cross seems so heavy to hear ;
And life seems hardly worth living,
So great is the heart’s despair 1
But ah ! they forget, as we are prone to do,
Sorrow's the common lot of all;
Though some lives seem always sunny and
bright,
“Into each life some rain mast fall.”
And so in the quiet graveyard
Another pale sleeper lies,
While the rain is falling softly,
And the long day slowly dies.
To her. life was not too sweet,
With its burden of pain to bear.
So let’s leave the weary heart to rest,
Under the blossoms fair.
