And if somebody else can do it, we,

years ago, at Washington, Mrs. Hayes
became mistress of the White House,
and it was for her, and no one else,

not endure to have lord and lady Eng
lish, count and countess French, bar
on and baroness German come to the
White House dinners and have noth
ing tit for them to drink—not a drop
or poison! It was utterly queer! Sd
Mrs. Hayes made one exception in fa
vor of those great foreign highnesses,
and allowed wine upon her table in
their presence. But only for
once. Her conscience—high-souled
woman that she is—smote her
for tha*' one little cowardly com
promise with wrong. She could bet
ter endure to have Secretary Evarts
and the Smiths ashamed of her than to
be ashamed of herself. So she quiet
ly and forever after, prohibited wine
from her table, and cheerfully endured
the lift' d eyebrows and shrugged
shoulders of the diplomatics, British,
French, Russian—all, ami the little
short-lived hiss of “fashionable” soci
ety until that hiss turned to a cheer,
and fashionable society turned around,
like the spaniel it is, and trotted on
behind its mistress. It became un
fashionable to serve wine and offer
wine in fashionable society while Mrs.
HayeS was in the White House.
What Mrs. Hayes did in the White
House every woman can do in her own
home if she will. If the girls who
read these words will each of them, all
together, use their inffuence on the
side of Temperance, they can make
temperance fashionable where they are.

Jewish Longevitr*
Leisure Hours.
In enumerating the causes which
have made the Jewish people so strong
and vigorous, particular mention must
be made of their observance of tlie
Sabbatli. This day was appointed for
the double purpose of securing a set
portion.cf rime for the worship of God
and affordiug rest to the body wearied
with its six daj ’s labors. Obedience
to this primeval law is held by the
Jews to be as strictly binding on them
as any other religious obligation. In
Christian countries where the Sunday
is kept sacred or observed as a holiday,
another day of rest in addition to their
own Sabbath is obtained, thus fortify
ing them against the crashing toil and
nervous strain of modern life. The
loss accruing from this enforced ab
stinence from business worries is more
than counterbalanced by riie gain in
nerve power with which periodical
cessation from any haring ingen: ploy-
nieut h? compensated. This is doubt

is ungenial, its influence tells on him,
too, but with less injurious effect. His
vigorous health enables him to resist
the onset of disease to which.others
succumb. These ad vantages are for the
most partowingto his food, his teniper-
auce habits and the care taken of him
in sickness and poverty. No doubt be
is especially fortunate in inheriting a
constitution which has been built up
by attention, for many centuries, to
hygienic details. His. meat is draiued
of blood, so*that by that means morbid
germs are not likely to be conveyed
into his system. It is also most care
fully inspected so as to preveut the con
sumption of what is unsound, hence his
comparative immunity from scrofulous
and tuberculous forms of disease.
The Bible is regarded by some scien
tists as an old fashioned book; but its
teaching in relation to hygienes even
they will confess, has not become anti
quated. It must be credited with hav
ing anticipated and recorded fcfr our
instruction and profit doctrines which
are now accepted as beyond dispute in
this department of knowledge. In the
Mosiac law are preserved sanitary rules,
the habitual observance of which by the
Jew, from generation to generation,
has made him superior to all other
races in respect to health and longevi

Tbe New Postal Law
The following is a new postal law to
take effect on the first of July:
1. Sealed letters to go anywhere in
the United States for two cents on each
full ounce or fraction thereof, instead
of halfan ounce. Any letter over one
ounce and up to two ounces, 4 cents,
and so on. The full ounce weight ap-
plys to drop letters delivered for one
where the carrier system is not Iu
operation.
2. Registered newspapers, sent by
publisher or newsdealers, one cent per
pound, to include regular and speci
men copies. Other papers sent by any
one, 1 cent for each* four ounces or
fraction thereof.
3. Articles in newspapers may be
marked with pen or pencil to call at
tention to them; but no words or fig-
nres can be used. This is not allowed
to publishers sending papers by pound
rates.
4. A special stamp costing 10 cents
and put upon a letter going to any

and tlie dynasty which still fills the
throne. Hence the present “demand”
on Russia.
The complaint of China is that
Russia has been constantly encroach
ing upon Chinese territory ever since
the Ignatieff agreement of 1SG0, and
Johnny Chinaman thinks this is a
good time for settlement. This adds a
new complication- to the Czar’s diffi
culties “Chinaman uo aflaid of

Counting the .Honey,
The count of money and securities iu
the United States treasury is Dow com
plete, with the exception of the con
tents of the reserve vault, about
$165,000,000 in United States notes and
gold and silver certificates. It is now
expected that it will take about anoth
er week to examine the reserve fund.
Treasurer Jordan saysthat.the count is
practically over, and that everything
has been found in a most satisfactory
condition, l’he only discrepancy is
two cents missing from the t.ve dollar
package of pennies in the cash room.
Yesterday a heavy, square box,
wrapped in red tape and securely
bound, was found in an out-of-way
nook of one of the vaults. The key
had been mislaid and was no where to
be found. The box had been in the
vault for many years and had been al
most forgotten. The services of a
locksmith were secured and on open
ing the box it was found to contain a
bottle of diamonds, a bottle of pearls, a
bottle of attar of roses and a lining of
gold. One of the older employes
identified these as articles which had
been presented to President Monroe
about the year 1823-by the Japanese
government, and. which had been
stored in the treasury pending the
passage of an act pf Congress author
izing their acceptance. Congress
failed to legislate bn the subject, and
the articles were deposited in the
treasury, where they have remained
ever since.

upon the fire and rolled under the
bunk oh which the boys were sitting.
“Teh—tch—teh—” went the burning
fuse. The boys thought it a message
direct from Lee’s battery. Two tried
to jump through the door at the same
time, and blocked up the narrow door
so that neither was able to get out. A
full evacuation of the tent was finally
effected, and a retreat made—not,
however, in good order. No one was
killed, hut the boys waited behind dis
tant trees for more than 30 mortal
iniuutes, momentarily expecting to see
the tent blown to atoms.' After awnile
these heroes came together, and in the
council of war they held on the field of

Prohibition in Maine.
New York Sun.
It is only three or four weeks since
the latest amendments, attachments,
and improvements to the Maine liquor
laws went into effect in the sironghold
of the prohibition system. We are
somewhat surprised to find the Lewis
ton Journal, which takes its prohibition
straight, announcing that “on Thurs
day, rast Day, more drunkenness was
to be seen on the streets of Lewiston
than for a long time previous, intox
ication on the streets is on the in
crease.”
If onr esteemed contemporary is
sincerely devoted to the cause of tem
perance without regard to politics, and
we believe that it is, why doesn’t It
start a movement in favor of a high
liitouCA Ion- it* Anlr os oil avtuiniiwuir V
license law, if only as an experiment?
Prohibition has been tried in Maine
during the lifetime of a whole genera
tion. it does not prohibit. High li
cense, according to all experience else
where, does restrict. Does auy real
friend of temperance think that a
a change from a merely nominal * pro
hibition to an actual and effectual re
striction would be a change for the
worse? W/nild it involve any sacrifice
ipfe‘?
of principl
The prohibitionists arc not the only
friends of temperance, although the
effect-of thirty-five years’ association
ofthe two ideas in Maine has been to
make them perfectly sure that they
are.
We should like to see Congressman
Dingle}*, the editor of tlie Lewiston
Journal, leading an^ agitation in favor
of high license. The movement would
lie unpopular at first, but we have no
doubt that it would finally prevail.
Then there would be less intoxication
in the streets of Lewiston.

Brunswick Advertiser aud Appeal.
As intimated in our last issue, Mr.
Morse has resigned the management of
the B. & W. R. R., and A. A. Gaddis
been appointed in his stead. Mr. Gad
dis arrived this week and took charge.
He brings with him a record as a rail
road man that he need not be ashamed
of, aud we trust his experience of 34
years will be no disadvantage to him
in the building up of the B. & W. R.
R. In an interview' with Mr. Gaddis
\ye found him pleasant and entertain
ing, ready to hear any suggestions,
but adopting no line of policy until he
fully comprehonds the situation.
In parting with Mr. Morse as man
ager of the road, we believe we voice
the sentiment of the people when we
say that we regret the severance of his
connection with the road. He came
to us under a clod, so to speak, (for
we all regretted losing the former offi
cers) but has gradually overcome ob
stacles -until every barrier has been
broken down. We are glad to learn
that the probabilities are that we shall
not lose Mr. Moree from our midst, as
he coutemplates so arranging his en
gagements as to make Brunswick his
hindquarters iu future.

Stop Using .tbe Word Hello.
The word “hello” now so generally
used through the telephone is inele
gant, deficient in beauty, polish, re
finement. Its use should be abandon
ed before it becomes a habit like
swearing. The San Francisco
Chronicle tells of a case where the
habit of using the word got a young
man in trouble: “One of the dry
goods stores has lost a customer, one of
the handsome clerks has lost his situa
tion, and* all through his miserable
education at the telephone. The lady
in question is deaf and carries a little
tube with the usual mouthpiece to
speak into. Tlie other day she came
up to the counter,, and as a prelimina
ry to the conversation touching her
proposed purchase, she put the tube to
her ear and banded the mouth-piece
to the clerk. He immediately put his
mouth to it and qplled out ‘hello!’ and
before he recollected himself the cus
tomer had flonneed out of the estab
lishment.”

It would lessen the temptation to
dress beyond your income.
If every one dressed' plainly but
neatly for church services, persons in
moderate circumstances and the poor
would be more likely to attend.

—In the absence of an artesian well,
Atlanta hopes to be able to get along

—Says tbe Atlanta Journal: “Yes

—Editor Perham feels tlie need of

—Willie Mulreedy was killed in Sa
vannah, on Saturday, by being run
over by a street railroad car, on to
whieh he was trying to climb while it
was in motion. The warning will do
boys no good. They don’t appreciate
warnings.
—Quitman Free Press: The artesian
well is progressing slowly. The heavy
drill from Thomasville was too large
for tbe casing and Newell is working
away in hard rock with the old pro-
eees. “A constant dripping wears
away a stone.”
—This advanced cotton item is from
the Banner-Watchman: “Mr. Jim
Spence, of Jackson eounty, has a field
of cotton from six to eight inches high
and which he is now. plowing the sec
ond time. So one of bis neighbors
tells us.’’
—The Savannah Times says that
“Shipment of vegetables to Northern
markets is becoiningactive. The New
York steamer carried 7,992 crates of
vegetables, the Philadelphia steamer
2,989 crates and the Baltimore steamer
1,161 crates vegetables.”
—Savannah Times: The yeios and
Signal office at Blacksbear has been
purchased by a joint stock company,
of A'liieh Col. S. D. Bradwell. of
Hinesville, is a member, and the pa
per is to be revived and placed ou a
permanent, solid basis. .
—The Banner-Watchman prints.this,
queer paragraph: “There is an old
lady living in Athens, now 82 vears-
of age, who has never entered achurch
or spoken on the subject of religion.
When this topic is broached she al
ways gets np and leaves the room. No
one knows what is her belief.”
—Banner-Watchman: The fertilizer
dealers of Athens have a blank book,
on which is enrolled the name of every
farmer that fails to pay his note when
due, and it is needless for such to ask
credit in this city. The experiment
works well, and it will soon embrace
all the guano dealers within a radius
of fifty miles of Athens.
—The Atlanta Journal indulges in
this bit of “good-for-evU” pleasantry
at the expense of Macon: “One of the
meanest things in this world is preju
dice againsta sister city. Let our citi
zens remember this, and when Macon
conies up to-morrow let us make her
feel that she is entirely welcome and
altogether at home. But yon must
beat her playing ball, boys—beat her
pleasantly and gently, though, as it
were.”
—The Hartwell Sun remarks that
“Lula Hurst, an unsophisticated
country girl of 18 summers, who has
achieved a world-wide reputation as
‘The Georgia Wonder,’ and whose per
formances are uot only interesting and
wonderful, but smack of the miracu
lous, has completed a tour of the larger
cities of America and is visiting tbe
smaller towns, after which she will
make a tour through Europe. She
visits Hartwell on the 15th.”
—Tlie Americus Recorder has this
cbieken item: “Dick Miers trots to
the front with a three legged rooster.
He was hatched some weeks since, and
is growing finely. On the right leg
near the knee joint the short snb-Ieg
starts off at an acute angle. Its joint
moves as readily as the joints of its
other legs, and' the joint at the out
ward end, where the single toe begins,
is also perfect. The hen missed the
figure in her calculations, for there
was only material enough for one toe.
Should the cbieken grow spurs on ail
his legs he will be almost as well
armed as the fretful porcupine.”
—There is a man in Columbus that
lent a horse to a peddler, aceording'to
the Enquirer-Sun. It will be Seen from
the following that the horse was re
covered : “Yesterday Mr. C. O. Dis-
muke recovered the horse that he bad
loaned to tbe peddler a few days ago.
It will be remembered that Mr. Dig-
muke came to tbe city ‘Monday and
procured a warrant for O. D. Simple,
charging him with larceny after trust.
.Tlie warrant was placed in the hands
of Bailiff Owen, who arrested Simple
yesterday and brought him down. Mr.
Dismuke agreed to withdraw prosecu
tion if Simple' would pay the cost,
which he did and was released.”
—This item—a bad one from Chat
ham county,. is from the Savannah
Times: “Parties who drove to White
Bluff yesterday afternoon were In most
instances seriously incommoded In
tlieir progress by an obstruction on
tbe road in tbe shape of a mule. This
unsightly looking quadruped was
seemingly in such a starved condition
that be could not walk, and when he
gut on the shell road he was too weak
to navigate and fell in the thoroughfare.
