A Temperance Lecture.
You can buy a good qifality of whis
key at $3.20 a gallon. If you have
found from experience, as so many men
say they have, that you cannot get
along without taking three or four
drinks in a day, buy a gallon of it and
turn it over to your wife and let her
lock it in the pantry and keep the key.
She will take such a glass a« you will
find in any ordinary bar-room and with
the measure you generally get for 15-
cents drink at any ordinary bar, she
can make a gallon of whiskey yield 00
drinks, that is $7.50. Of course, you i
will pay her every time you get a drink
just the same as you would when you
drank at the bar. She will make $4 on
that gallon of whiskey.

If there is any weak spot in this piece

Some people at the North are aston- j
ished at our “Southern prejudices,” as
they term them. If they would re-1
fleet a moment they would know that
they themselves, as well as other peo
ple, have not only prejudices, but some
strong aversions. Whether right or I
wrong is another question : but such is ,
the fact. Many persons in California;
have an aversion to the Chinese. Some
families in our Northern States have
such a strong aversion to the negroes
that they will employ none about their
houses if they can possibly get a white
servant; and the negro himself has a
contempt for “poor white trash, ’ Out
lie always did glory in a rich master.
Prejudices, induced by long established
custom and habits, cannot be broken
and eradicated .in a few days; or a few
years. It will take the educating in
fluences of time, as well as the grace of
God, to cure them. Let us all, then,
deal leniently with one another’s prej
udices, since we are brethren of a com
mon Father, and have inherited very
similar infirmities—our likes and dis
likes differing with our different envi
ronments in the formative period of
life.— Western Recorder.

ROME
Texas has a big territory, and some
of the papers are asking if it would not
be advisable to cut her up into four or
five States, if her citizens do not object.
She has as much territory as Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachu
setts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New
York, Delaware, Maryland, Ohio and
Indiana'combined, and could be cut
into thirty-two States, each the size of
Massachusetts. Her population equals
that of the nine States of Maine, New
Hampshire, Rhode Island, Delaware,
Florida, Colorado, Nevada, and Ore
gon. These States have thirty-one
electoral votes, while Texas has only
thirteen. These figures are from a Bos
ton paper, and are indorsed by a New
York paper. They are calculated to
frighten Republican statesmen who in
sist on making two Republican States
out of Dakota.
The revolutionary war cost the 7 nit-
ed Statts $135,193,703. The colonies

troops. The war of 1812 cost the Unit
ed States $107,159,003. The number of
troops engaged is estimated at 471,622.
The Mexican war cost the United
States $100,000,000. The number of
troops was 101,282. The war between
the States cost the United States $0,-

troops were 2,859,132.
