HISTORY OF PROHIBITION.
Avmcri Brogues was 23 and lieutenant
a'reriuient of Zouaves. He had just left
,, Ecolo Snperieure, where tho art of wnr
.taught, and before joining his regiment
ad come to make the necessary arrange-
irnts with M. Boudelot regarding the ln-
leritance left him by an uncle who hud died
e year before.
The notary's son, Charles, was Aymeri’
timiito friend. While tho one was at the
mle the other hud been reading law.
IbotwoyouDg men soon found them-
Ivt'T seated at a table in one of the little
;roves scattered around La Misquotto, in
iigh spirits and with ruvenous appetites,
bey talked about what young men 23

The next day he came to dinner nnd to

the day before scarcely recognized each

she said adieu. —
Five years passed. At the end of the first
yeer Tsilla had written to her henefaotor a
Bhort letter—original and peculiar.
Besides this M. Boudelot, Charles and
Merillon mentioned her in all their letters.
She was making astonishing progress, but
still remained the wild bird of the forest,
only hnppy in the open air and climbing
trees like a boy.
She nlso continued to write, but a volume
would be necessary to record in detail the
progress of this untutored child of nature
towards the highest intellectual and moral
culture.
“During the vacation,” wrote Charles,

About this time he sent to M. Boudelot
his wishes regarding the disposition of his
property. Henceforth TniUo was to have
a dot of 100,000 francs In the event of her
marriage, and, should he die, the halt of
his fortune.
His name received honorable mention for
the part he had taken in the capture of
Hontai, bnt he was seriously wonniled in tho
assault on the Chinese redouts at Formosa.
He was there gazetted Chief of Battalion,
nnd aoon as hi* wound would permit sent
back to Frunoe by order of the physicians.
He wsa no longer a hundsome officer. His
hair had turned white and the fever had
left him quite thin.
Tallin had grown to be a creature of pecu
liar and dazzling beauty, being now 18. On
his arrival Bhe clasped him In her arms in a
feverish embrace.
How they have used yon," was her first
exclamation.
He was lost in admiration of her beauty.
“Woll,” be asked Charles, “how about
Tallla?"
She does not love me. She replied to
my request. I will ho your friend, bnt I
shall never marry. I returned to Marie.
Unfortunately I believe she is in love with
you. Do you core for her?”
“No."
It took the young officer a long time to
regain his strength. One dsy, while still
very weak, he was lying in an eaay chair
when some one knocked at the door.
Tsilla entered.
“l’apa, ltomklot tells me that yon have
given me 100,000 trance. Can marry whom
ever I please?"
‘Certainly,” retnrned Aymeri, turning
red, so long ts be is respectable.”

One of the most painstaking investiga
tions into the effect of laws prohibiting the
sale of liquors is thut by Mr. Sutton, aStato
Senator of Iowa, into the operations of the
prohibitory laws of that State. Hia in
quiries extended to every county nnd town
of 300 inhabitants in the Commonwealth.
“In over sixty of the leading cities and
towns," he writes, “the law (of 1884) has
met no fnvor, because it has given the gov
ernment of these places over to the saloon
power and to n reign of free whiBky and
crime." In other words, in these denser
centres of population the prohibitory pha’-
anx is not strong enough to get possession
of the puhlie offices, and in making the issue
of compulsory abstinence it brings the worst
elemeuU of the community into factitious
importanco among its opponents.
The figures Mr. button gives are these:
Two years ago there were 1,800 saloons
open in the State, licensed and nmonable to
public observation and official discipline.
After eighteen mouths of compulsory pro
hibition 1,837 saloons are found in opera
tion with no attempt at concealment, nnd
420 others are reported to him as suspected
of vending liqnor, nnd in sixty of the most
populous towns tho law is a dead letter. A
strong friend of prohibition, Air. Sntton is
not content with a pretence, and decides in
favor of local option, so that tho whole
commonwealth shall not be engulfed in
anarchy on the temperance question. In
accord with him were the mayors of twenty-
ono oities of Iowa, who very recently met
together and agreed to ask the Legislature
to repeal the prohibitory statute, nnd to per
mit a system of local option to be tried.
In fnvor of this settlement of the problem
is the experience of the citicB of Omaha and
Chicago. They are nnthorized to control
their own systems of dealing with this ques
tion, and while in both of them prohibition
wonld probably become a dead letter, a plan
of high licenses baa beeu found to exercise
a marked restraint on tho intemperance of
the people, while the municipal treasury has
been greatly benefited. In Omaha fifty-
seven of tho lower saloons were closed
anil the receipts of the city from licenses
reached $167,275 last year. In Chicago tho
number of saloons won reduced from thir
teen thousand to nine thousand, and nearly
$1,360,000 wero put into tho puhlie treasury.
In the recent revival of thnt phase of the
agitation which seeks to aet through legis
lation, the diBcnseion has largely proceeded
as if this method were new. It is far from
being so. Fifty years ago a movement
of great intensity nnd universality in favor
of suppressing the retail trafHo in liqnor
sprang up in the country. Maine, Massa
chusetts, New York, Vermont, Tennessee
and Delaware in obedience to the strong
sentiment prevailing, passed prohibitory
laws in the decade from 1837 to 1847. Now
Hampshire, Connecticut nnd Bhode Island
adopted subetantially what is known
local option, and strong snpport was given
to kindred measures in Ohio, Indiana,
Michigan, Iowa and Wisconsin. The same
did question was raised then at is now, that
laws were nnconstltu
[ irente Court
g point was
reached in 1847, when the tribunal decided
that it was not contrary to the constitntion
of the United Mates for the several Mates
to restrain the sale of intoxicating drinks
sale of arrack.” The Singlese method of
taking the plebifcitum may differ from the
American, but the principle of local option
is tho same. Tho value of tho illustration
lies in its disclosure of the fact that the
validity of laws is not a question of mce or
climate, out of their incorporation into the
convictions anil habits of those who are to
submit to them. If the purely despotic su
premacy of the government of Ceylon can
not force on obnoxious sumptuary law the
local agents of a free people will not. Tho
solution ct the problem Ilea not in compul
sion, but in obedience.
A 11BIDE FOR A DAT.
Crnel Desertion of i% Young Wife nt the
Wedding Feast.
Four Worth, Texas, March 25.—A ro
mantic wedding followed by cruel desertion
is to-night the talk of tho city. Miss Kate
Solomon, a Jewess, was n saleslady in the
big dry goods store of 11. C. Evans A Co.
Dan Wadsworth, a nephew of the president
of the company, wns salesman in the es
tablishment. On Sunday last Madsworth
and Miss Solomon went to Dallas nnd were
mnrried. Misa Soiomon was a poor girl,
but wns known most favorably for
her devotion to her aged mother and
an unfortunate brother. Wadsworth was
favorite with bia wealthy uncle, and
had brilliant prospects. Yosterday the
happy conple left the store together for the
mother's home, where at night a reception
wns prepared for the daughter and husband.
Early in the evening Wadsworth told his
wife he hud to meet a friend at the depot
who was coming in from the north, and
that he would bo back in half an hoar. He
kissed his wife good-bye, went to the store
and settled with the treasurer, drawing all
the money due him, went to the dopot nnd
left tho city—it is said going to North Car
olina.
The guests oame to tho wedding feast:
the bride was hnppy nnd smiling, bnt the
bridegroom came not. Eleven o'clock came,
and still he wA not there. The guests
looked at each other. Twelve o'clock—1
''clock—no Wadsworth. Then tho guests,
by couples, left shaking their heads. The
wife fearing that something had befallen
hor husband, fainted and is still prostrate.
Friends turned out and acourcd the city
during tho last hours of tho night and to
day, but of course tho bridegroom wns not
to ho found. Wadsworth's friends looked
anon the marriage ns a messalliance nnd
advised him to leavo nnd he complied,
leaving his poor wife broken-hoarted.

For some years a decided inclination bos
been apparent all over the country to give
up the use of whisky and other strong alco
hols, using ns a substitute beer nnd other
compounds. This is ovidently founded on
the idea that boer is not harmful, and con
tains a large amount of nutriment; also that
bitters may have some medical qnalit'
which will neutralize the alcohol which i
conceals, ete.
These theories are without confirmation
in the observation of physicians. The nse
of beer is found to prodace a species of de-
S (mi ration of all the organs; profound and
eceptivc deposits, diminished circulation,
condition of congestion and perversion of
functional activities, local inflammation of
both tho liver and kidneys, are constantly
present. Intellectually a stupor amounting
almost to paralysis arrests the reason,
changing all the higher faculties into a mere
animalism, sensual, selfish, sluggish, varied
only with paroxysms of anger that are
senseless and brutal. In appearance tho
beer drinker may ho tho picture of health,
hut in reality he ia most incapable of re
sisting disease. A slight iDjnry, a severe

A second detachment of missionaries sail
to-day by tho City of Cheater for Liverpool,
whence they will go by Btenmer to the
mouth of the Congo river and the went Af
rican coast to reinforce Bishop Taylor's
party, that left New York a yenr ago. ' Tho
missionaries carry with them a small cargo
of dry goods, canned food, farming imple
ments. Bibles, tracts, hymn books, rifles
and shot-guns. It will take them n-arly
three months to reach the Congo. On their
arrival they will be met by Bishop Taylor,
and the leader of the party will then receive
directions and sealed instructions as to
their ultimate destination. This, it iB ex
pected, will be nhont 500 miles into the in
terior of -Africa. Thoy will sail up the Con
go as far os navigation will permit, and
then go the remainder of the way with
teams or on foot.
A number of the party are from the far
West, having been brought up iu Oregon
nnd used to roughing it there. Tho party
numbers in men, women and children
twenty persons. Two of them nro minis
ters and two of them arc physicians. One
young woman, a Miss Britain, is just from
a ladies' seminary, aud on older woman,
Mrs. Cliff, has boon n missionary uuiong
the Indians. A colored man in tho party
named Jndson was gradunted several mouths
ago from a university. The others are
mechanics, farmers, a surveyor and a school
teacher. The Bov. Air. Shoreland, Dr. and
Airs. Clark Smith nnd four children and
Surveyor Burr aro from Oregon. Tho Bov.
nnd Mrs. J. U. Cooper ore from Wisconsin,
Dr. Harrison and Missionaries Cameron,
Walker, Steele, and Air. and Mrs. Elkin are
from Ohio. A Mr. Baker is from Brooklyn,
and Mr. Sorter from Missouri. Thoy will
be divided into parties of two or three
among the natives, at a distance of 160
miles from eaoh other, so as to establish a
chain of stations across the continent of
Africa. Each of these stations will be visit
ed at intervals by the ministers and physi
cians, and the farmers and mechanics will
go to work teaching the natives how to cul
tivate the land in a civilized manner, how
to read and write, and tho principlea of the
Christian religion..
The first party of moro than a hundred
are now colonized in Africa, nnd by tbo
latest reporis are doingwell. The a.-counts
state that with a little attention to the sim
ile rales of health, und by occasionally tik
ng quinine it is as easy to bcoomo accli
mated in Africa ns in tho United States. All
the missionaries are members of the Metho
dist Episcopal chnrch, and have been
specially selected for this expedition. The
work is supported by voluntary contribu
tions. During tho week a farewell con-
forenco has beeu held daily for tho mission
aries nt the Central Methodist church, in

up to tho time when the Kansas cocetltu
tional amendment opened still another
method of operation os follows;
1816—Maine. Neal Dow's project wsa
concerned with the method of enforcement
and not with the principle of prohibition.
The law of 1840 continued with his amend
ment of 1851 until it was repealed in 1856,
and a license system adopted. In 1868
Maine returned to prohibition.
1847—Delewsre. Pronounced unconsti
tutional in 1854.
I860—Mitchigan. Pronounced unconsti
tutional in 1854.
1852—Rhode Island. Repealed in 1863.
1864—Alassaehnsetts. Repealed in 1868.
1852—Vermont. Law practically in force
now.
1864— Connecticut Repealed in 1872.
1865— Iowa Local option exchanged foe
prohibition in 1884.
1856—New York. Low was never en
forced in New York oity and Brooklyn, and
after a few years' trial in the rest of the
State the people retnrned to license.
1866— New Hampshire. Substantially
still in force.
1856—Hlinoia. Legislature passed a pro
hibitory law which waa disapproved by a
popular vote. »
1869—Massachusetts. This law was grad
ually relaxed by amendments in favor of fer
mented beverages and wsa repealed in 1876.
1874—Rhode Island. Repealed in 1872.
Indians twice passed prohibitory laws,
once in 1853, ami again in 1856, both of
which failed to obtain the approval of the
Supreme Court.
Of the twelve Mate* hero mentioned,
three of them failod to carry prohibition be
yond a still-born legislative enactment
The remaining nine enforced this system
from periods varying from four to thirty-
fonr yean. In Maine it has reigned thirty-
eight yean, bnt there was an interregnum
from 1856 to 1858. The average duration
of the system for each of the nine States
baa been abont twenty-four years. In five
of them, viz: Rhode Island, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Connecticut and New York, the
policy of soppreasion has been abandoned
for years. That policy has held its own,
with only exceptional moments of infirmi
ty, in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont
and Iowa.
Georgia waa the first American com
munity, if the tawarchee of Mr. B. J. Loo
sing are accepted, to experience a policy of
prohibition, for in 1873, on the recommend
ation of Oglethorpe, the drinking of ram
and ita importation wero absolutely pro
hibited by the trastees. In her wisdom ahe
has now adopted the plen of local option,
which trusts each community with ita own

the only basts which will a ns tain them—
that is, a strong social approbation of them.

INFLICTING TOBTUHK ON A CHILD,
A Girl Thirteen Years Old Dies From the
Cruelty of Onardlana.
flmuxTOK, P*, March 26.—A shocking
ease of cruelty, culminating in the death of
a little girl named Mary Gaugban, aged
thirteen years, haajnstbeenhronght to light
hero, and tho heartless guardian*, John and
Winifield Me Andrew, after an exciting trial,
wero committed to prison to answer the
charge of killing the child. Rbortly after
little Mary Ganghau was placed in the can
of Mr. and Mrs. McAndrew sho began to
suffer from their tyranny. A witness testi
fied that the child was compelled to
sleep on the floor, her only friend
being the dog that lay at her feet
and kept her partially wrrm daring
many a piercing winter night. It was also
shown that the children* compelled to go
about barefooted in the frost and snow,
wearing only a thin calico dress, and if tbo
attempted to play with other children she
was brutally beaten. Several unwilling
witnesses testified that when Alary Qnughau
went to live with her guardian* she wsa
strong and healthy, and all felt it was their
S stematio cruelty that killed her. It was
loged that McAndrew used to torture the
ihild by putting a “bit" in her mouth and
jagging her, and that on one occasion he
iranded her face with a red hot poker in
order, he said, that ha might know her
epirit in cate it retnrned to haunt him.
Coroner Dean, who examined the body of
the girl, said it wo* terribly emaciated, tho
feet were swollen and frost bitten, and one
of the toes was ready to drop off. Tbo
prisoners wero committed to await trial on
the charge of having wantonly and mali
ciously caused the death of Mary Gaaghan
by cruel neglect and ill-treatment.
