A dog which wont run from an ele¬ phant will break his back to get away | i from an oyster can, Ingcrsolon Alcohol. Colonel Robert Ingcsoll, who has been denounced a3 an infidel, was j lately employed in a case which io? volvcd the manufacture of ardent spirits, and in his speech to the jury no used the following language: j ‘I am aware that there is prejudice against any man engaged in tho man j | ufacture < f alcohol. I behave from the time it issues from ttm coiled and i poisonous worm in the distillery until! it honor empties and into crime, the that hell it of is death, demoral dm*-j | izing to everybody that touches it 1 from the source to whore it ends, f j do not believe tbac anybody o n contomplato prejudiced against tho subject tho without being ] crime.—All ! we have to do is lo think c?f the wrecks : on either side of the stream of death, r.f suicides, of insanity, of the poverty, of the destruction of the little children i at tbe breasts of weeping and 1 despairing wives asking for oread, of. the man of gmiius it .has wrecked, the man snuggling with imaginary ser* 1 pents produced by this devilish thing: alms-houses, and when you of think the of the jails, of the j i asylums, of the ptisone and of the scaffolds an either; batik, f do not wonder that every thinking m m is prejudiced against the ; vile stuff called alcohol. Intemperance . cuts down youth in its vigor, manhood ■ vu its strengbt, and ago in its weak I ness. It breaks the father's heart,; bereaves the doting mother, extinguish- i es natural affection erases conjugal blots cut filial attachment and blights parental hope— brings prea | , atari! age in sorrow to the grave. It produces weakness, uot strength; sick* ! not health; death, not life. It | "'tikes wives widows, childten orphans, fathers fiends. It feeds rheumatism, nurses gout, welcomes epidemics, in A vitea cholera, imports pestilence, and . embraces consumption. It covers the j 'and with in'sery, idleness and crime, i It engenders controversies, fosters I quarrels and cherishes riots. It crowds j your penitentiaries and furnishes vie- j tims to tho scafljld. It is the blood ; of the gambler, the element of the j burglar, the prop of the higb-wayman, and the support of the midnight incen diary. It countenances the liar, res- | poets the thief, estecc n;, tbe blaspheai- 1 or. It violate obiiga i*>t s, reverences fraud, novolence, honors hates infamy. Ic d fames be- j love, scorns virtue* and innocence. It incites the father to j child butcher to bfe grind helpless the parasidal offspring and the It j axe. burns up men, consumes women, detests ltfe curses God and dospises heaven, It suborns witnesses, nurses perfidity, defies the jury box and stains tho judi¬ cial ermine* It bribes voters, disquali¬ fies votes, corrupts elections, pollutes our institutions, and endangers the government. It degrades the citizen. defeases the legislator, dishonors the j statesman and disarms tho partriot. It brings shame, not honor; terror not safety: despair not hope; misery not happiness; and with the malevolence of a fiend, calmly surveys its frightful desolation, and unsatisfied with havoc, it poisons felicity, kill pcacd, ruins mors als, wipes out naiional honor, then curses the world and laughs at its ruin, It does that and more—ic murders the soul. It is the sum of all villanies. the father of all crimes, the mother of all abominations, the devil's best friend, and God's worst enemy. Slurs on Women. Of ail the evils prevalent among young men, we know of none more blight¬ ing in its moral effects than to speak lightly of the virtues of women. Nor is there anything in which young men are so thoroughly mistaken as the low estimate they form of the eutegrivy of woman. X >c of their own mothers and sistrs, b it of others, thev who for- ! get are somebody else’s mothers and sisters. As a rule, no person who sur¬ renders to this debasing habit is to be trusted with an enterprise requiring integrity of character. Plain words should be spoken on this point, for it is a general one, aud deep-rooted. If young men are sometimes thrown into society of thoughtless depraved women, they have no more right !o measure all! other than to women estimate by what the character they see of of these hou- j j es< and respectable citizens by the da ■-•dopments of crime in police courts. ! Let our young men remember that their i chief happiness in life depends upon the utter faith iu women. No No worldly worldly wis wis j dom, no no misanthropic misanthropic philosophy, philosophy, .no no generalization, can cover or weaken this truth. It stands like tbe record of itself—for it is nothing less than this— and should be put au everlasting seal upon the lips that are wont to speak lightly of woman. The cause of woman suffrage moves slowly—but moves* We republish the following from B M. Hill, by request of a friend: T notice that the prohibition scheme - is on foot. T hope it will be carried out. I am highly in favor of it on reasonable, truthful ami just grounds. There is an uiemy :o mankind lurkingin this parr of i Etowah county, an i he is a destructive i enemy to men, women and children, In disguise, with his flattery, lie lnu I deceived many. 1, for one, put eonti in the assertion that tho use of! ardent spirits has destroyed more lives than war, pestilence and” famine, and! that no man can give a good plea fora! dram.

Even the very crime that one of your correspon dents alluded to in Exodus, 20th chap ter and 14th verse, would be lessened to a considerable extent, Not aiming to cast anything personal, ! bnt the use of ardent spirits is the thing to make a brute, a complete devil of a man of anything that ever this earth. Nothing but a spirit of philanthropy could induce mo to act on this subject. It is not a test of religi* political opinion, but' would be to the' advancement of tho cause of each. Pass the law in this county, and it would ho but a short lime before the adjoining counties would see the good effect and be constrained to take the same step. As for me and my house, we have done passed the law. A sober, temperate life. What a happy life to live and happy death to die. Mr. W. N, G. I bid you and every one of the same sentiment Godspeed. B.
