OUR ANTI-LIQUOR FIGHT. tag off, were incapable of resisting injury and
I Some, if not all, of these, no doubt, had
thought the beer was doing them good. Many
boast of the good it doe* them, or of their being
strong in spite of the beer. ???I hare drank n
gallon of beer every day for the last thirty
year*," *aid a brewer???* drayman, ???and I wa*
never in better health than at this moment.**
Yet the very next day he died in a fit of apo
plexy. The beer told him that He, nnd he be
lieved it.
Men who are really well and strong do not
die oflf in that way *uddenly. When these
beer drinkers get into the hospital, and the
doctor shows them the true state of things, then
they begin to see, though ofteu too late, what
beer has really done to them.
???For they nave healed the hurt slightly,
[We solicit short letters giving the evil effects
liquor in communities, as witnessed by the writers.
We don't care for arguments. We want fact* and
figure*. Send them in, mothers, fathers, wives,
sons, everybody, and help in the fight against this
terrible aud growin gevil.J
The Bb.ux and the Bottle.???It is not pleas
ant to speak of the faults or the vices of the
departed, especially if they have rendered
eminent services to their fellow-men, or filled
a large space in the public eye. But if there
are inspirations to bo gathered from noble
holy deeds, so are there salutary warning* iu
every fall through temptation. The higher
the victim, the more impressive is the warn
ing. This year hii* witnessed the centenary
commemoration, of the birth of the foremost
forensic orator which America ha* produced,
National pride and patriotism have lain, the
well worn laurels afresh npon his tomb by the
seaside,
But in the midst of the cominemorativ
honors, a volume has just appeared from the
pen of Monsieur do Bacourt, an eminent
French diplomatist, who came as an ambassn
dor to our government forty years ago,
Bacourt, in one of hi* letter*, desciibe* a state
dinner given by President Tyler to forty diplo
matists and statesmen. The writer hnppeued
to sit beside Mr. Webster, who was then secre
tary of state, and he says of the orator of
Marsiteld:
The too free use of Madeira made him not
only amiable (in the American manner, of
course) but even touchingly tender. Ho seized
my arm with hi* two hands, and said: ???My
dear Bacourt, I have infinite pleasure in see
ing you this evening???much mors so than
some time ago???I don???t know why! Perhaps
f haven???t hitherto shown you sufficient friend
ship, but let us, if you will, become a pair of
friends. You shall see that I am good com
pany. Come to iny hottso every day, without
ceremony, That will please me, my dear Ba
court, for truly I find you charming.??? This
flattering declaration wa* mado to me with a
panty tongue, and???mnv I say so to you!???
with hiccoughs which made too close proxim
ity to the secretary of state altogether disa
greeable. And this took place at the table of
the chief magistrate, at a feast offered to the
representatives of all the European powers,
. This pitiable passage is not very pleasant
rcadiug to mo to-day after jus? re-perusing
(for the fortieth time) the immortal reply to
Hayne, which is the highwater mark of Amer
ican eloquence. The spectacle of our colossal
statesman hiccoughing at a presidential din
ner, or staggering from a Rochester agricultu
ral festival, is a sad counterpart to Bunker
Hill and the splendid triumphs of 4ho senate
chamber. But our American youth ought to
look just as squarely and clearly at the one ns
ut the other. While they arc studying Wob-
ster???s grand defenses of his country's consti
tution, they ought to study also his violations
of his own. Mr. Webster???s example vns thj
worse because it was utterly inexc;; tf(l ' 0 |<t t
*????? trained up in IhQ ",traito(t toot??? of Now
Hampshire purltfllllim: he had a robust framo
thul Required no artificial stimulant: ho stood
ns the representative of whatever was loftiest
in American citizenship oiul statesmanship.
When, therefore, he gavo the Immense weight
of his example in favor of the social drinking
saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.???
ROMANCES ABOUT UMBRELLAS.
A Few Phenomenal Instances In Which

From the Philadelphia Times.
???It's the third umbrella I???ve lost in twelve
months,??? said James L. Abbott. ???Im only stay

Sunday evening I got into a street car on South
street and with me was a silk umbrella, almost
new. I gave for it in New York not six weeks
ago. The cut was pretty Crowded and I stood my
umbrella ag??iiirt tl??c seat; when I got out of the

without getting it hack and re

London one nay he received n letter saying that If

prevented hi* going nt the time mentioned and he
came back to tula country last fall with
out his umbrella. The company with which
he traveled-visited Buffalo, N. Y., lost February,
and he was surprised ono evening while there
by being handed by the stage doorkeeper his long
h??t umbrella, with a note from the young lady,
saying she had returned and wa* living In Buffalo.
She saw his name in the play-bills and lmd much
pleasure in returning his property, of which she
had taken great care.??? ???

???Well, yes; I fancy It did. He is one of those
very much married' men, and the young lady hud

Another almost fAufUly remarkable case of rc-
QOVCTY occurn*?. In this city a few days ago. Two
gentlQOP**. were riding In a Walnut street car when
a heavy shower came on. In the same were seated
two ladles cleguhtly and fashionably
dressed. They were without an umbrella
and their situation appealed to 'the
chivalrous fccllug* of the gentlemen. One of them
offered the lor.n of his umbrella, asking the ladies
to return It to the office of a newspaper In Phlla-
Correspondence of tho Courier-Journal.
Aiovrta, Ga.???The qppearanco of Robert
Toombs, tho great fire-eater of the south, as
delegate in the district Methodist conference
at Harmony Grove, marks a new era in hi*
life. It is an era iu strange contrast with the
itormy career of one of the most brilliant men
America has ever produced, and is tho closing
scene in a biography which must soon become
a complete volume.
The manner of his conversion wa* character
istic of the man. Bishop George F. Pierce had
been a college-mate of Toombs. Together .these
two young students, the one from Wilkes
county, the other from Greene; the on< the
petted, self-willed son of p substantial gentle
man, the other the thoughtful child otjijfho-
rious Methodist minister, pursued
their studies, winning scholastic $ Vic
tories, yet by different methods, ^ith
Toombs the answers came instinctively; -vitli
Pierce It required the burning of the midnight
oil. Toombs was over under the rod of correc
tion, which, tradition tells us, required lnV re-
inovnl to Princeton; and even there his rebel
lious spirit would brook no dictation. Pi.Tet
turned hi* back upon the frivolities of yojitli,
and engaged in the revival services in tho lit
tle church of which his futhcr, Lovic Pierce,
was pastor. Yet Toombs and Pierce
were the closest of friends, and : in
the long career which subse
quently opened to both of them, in which Vue
drilled* into politics and became the lnaelsti-mi
of one of the most exciting episodes of hisic ry,
nuil the other found preferment in the djiuiyu,
becoming on honored bishop, there no ???
censed for a moment that attachment born
college association. Meeting Bishop Pierce
one day about a year ago, religion wus men
tioned.
???George,??? exclaimed Toombs, impetuously,
I wont you to baptize me. When 1 am
1 do not want these young men who drift -o
naturally into infidelity to claim me as an un
believer.???
This determination caused a sensati -a
throughout tho state. It sent astonishment
through that class which laughs at holy tiling ,
while it brought joy to every Chistian hear .
Once more tlierc was o tender feeling U r
Tombs, sucli ax had not been felt since th
days when ho was the pride of Georgia man
hoood. It was a tenderness more full*
sympathy than ever went oht to him befo
When the appointed Sunday come it foil
the old statesman surrounded by the neigh
hors of fifty years, among whom was jjj
brother, whoso joy at the event about to (cl
place found [vent in tears. Toombs himself
was of reeled, and for once found hesitancy,
speech when Bishop Pierce, taking him l
he hflhd,???greeted him os a brother iu Chist. ^
TOOll ll.s???s II It EAT ORIEK W..
leading up to this profession of faith wolw W; , ,
great bereavement. Full fifty year* before, the. f ? ???I could only look in silence at the grand
handsome young chevalier won the heart and ?? c,oro mo /'
hand of Miss Sara DuBose, a lady distinguish*
cd for her accomplishment* and family name,
Ever after she was indeed his better half. Sin;
went with him on liix political missions; she
was with him on his tours of observation, nnd^
she was his confidential friend in the fullrW
oreiia appeared. An advertisement wa* then in- lummcuuiu intmi m
usages, and on sovcral public occasions made l bo newspniier and repeated three times, meaning of the word in all hts transactions
an Exhibition ofw^l^toxtc. lion,
Taking him off some distance General I
Toombs pointed out on unsuspecting Jewish I
merchant, whose physical appearance was ???
rather against him.
???There he is,??? Baid Toombs. ???That is the
great head of the kuklux klon. My friend, you
must come over to my house; it is the only
place where you would bo safe from his ob
servation. I will do niy best to got you safely
out of tho country.???
Scared half to death, Smalley followed the
general, and entering tho inn union the door
was closed when General Toonilw said:
???Now you are safe. I will sea the chief of
the klan and try and get a pass for you out of
tho country.???
Meantime there was no attention wanting to
make Smalley comfortable. He wa* treated
like a prince, and soon underwent a change
of heart about Toombs, and began to regard
him as one of the grandest of men.
Finally a ran was heard at the door.
???Leave it all to me,??? said tho general.
???This is the Great Cyclops. I will get him to
give you a pass.???
The Jew entered, iu obedience to Toombs',
summons, which had been previously sent
him. He was thoroughly ignorant of. the use
which was being made of Him, consequently
Toombs's talk to him threw him into confu
sion. for he did not understand its- motive.
This confusion was duly noted by Smalley,
who put it down ns nu evidence of tho man???*
guilt. Finally, when the bewildered Hebrew
departed without having given any apparent
satisfaction. General Toombs turned to Sinai
ley nnd said:
???I have staked my honor for your safety,
Before daylight I will hove my closed earring'
ready, into which you must bo placed. As the
klan will think that I am within, it will not
bo molested, and soon you will be placed nt
safe distance.???
Thus Smalley found his exit from tho little
village of Washington, Lnd soon after gave his
wonderful lettor to the public. This version
of the affair is told by one of General Toombs
closest friends.
GENERAL TOOMBS???g TRUE CHARACTER,
is not to be judged by his wild talks to some
corroMMindents. Ho is at home aud in business
one of the most conservative of men. His as
saults upon carpet-baggers are not intended
for honest men who aro seeking the legitimate
aims of life. To northern men, in whom he
recognizes honesty of purpose, he is as genial
and hospitable as they could wish. Perhaps
there never was a man in Georgia who was
more villified than H. I. Kimball, and not en
tirely without reason. When the Kimball
house was erected General Toombs made it hi*
headquarters when iu Atlanta. Being asked
about his choice of it he is said to have un
worn!:
???By G???d, I hove a right to stop in it* The
money with which It was built wa* stolen
from tho treasury of Georgia, and that gives
every Georgian an interest in it.???
When this celebrated house was destroyed
by fire, Kimball was called back from Chicago
to organize for its re-ercction. He had before
him a hard task in raising subscriptions.
Among thoso upon whom it was necessary
that ho should call was General Toombs. No
sooner had lie entered Toombs???s door than the
doughty o???a Southerner exclaimed r
, ???Kimball, your return to Georgia is worth
jnoro than a hundred thousand dollars. I'm
glad to see you back to stay with us.???
This compliment fairly took Kimball off his
feet, and iu relating thelncident ho could only

The lesson to be learned by every young
man is that if the brain of Robert Burns or
the brain of Daniel Webster could not stand
the winccup, neither can theirs. If the sor
cery of tho bottlo ovcrcamo tho mighty men,
what chance is there for tho weaker ones? For
theosneelal damage which alcohol vyprtu is
wrought in that one vital spot???tho, human
brain. This it is which makes all indulgence
in iutoxic&hts so dangerous, aud drunkenness
to be so fearful a crime against God nnd our
awn lives. The only honest word to bo ap
plied to drunkenness is not misfortune, or dis
ease, or infirmity; it is voluntary crime. It
Is a self-inflicted blow ot tho very seat and
throne of manhood; it strikes the brain and
Mverthrows the reason, and demolishes for the
time that moral sense which lifts man above
the brute. Alcohol is reallv that doril which
has the power to ???cast both soul and body
into hell.??? Other ovil habits may impair a
tingle organ or vitiate a single phase of char
acter. But a material peison that can derango
the most vital part of the body, and at the
same time strike through and reach the inind,
???nd the immortal soul itself, must be the mas
terpiece of destruction.
Let no one say that I am desecrating the
tomb of a groat statesman by preaching from
it a discourse on the trite topic of temperance.
History has open eyes and a truthful tongue.
Tho divinest of histories always points as dis
tinctly to the sins of the best and noblest, as
to their virtues. Noah???s cup, and Jacob's
falsehood, nnd David???s adultery, are as full of
InstructiQn as Daniel???s heroism or Pnul???s self-
consecrations. Young men In our time and
country need more frequent and solemn wam-
??? ings against the bottle. It can decelvo even
???God's elcet??? if they tamper with it. Tho
brains of powerful orators or of powerful min
isters are ss easily raked and ruined by the
chain shot of alcohol, as the brain of the most
stupid clown. There is a law of the Creator
against alcoholic drinks, written on the hu
man brain, which is older than any prohibi
tory statutes of legislatures, and more author
itative thsn any utterances of pulpits or of
synods. Every confirnmtion of that law de
mands a hearing and*a heeding. The dead
utter their warnings as well ns the living,
???lie that hath ears to hear, let him bear!??????
Rev. Theodore D. Cuyler,
Beer is thr Hoshtal.???Alcohol is a slow
poison. Men drink it largely diluted in beer,
anil manag* U> keep up a good outside show,
while within they are getting into a sad condi
tion. They do not know it themselves, for
thev poison their nerves Continually so that
they get no true reports from within. But let
me accident hap|??en which sends thorn to the
hospital, and then hear what the doctors say
about them.
Dr. Edward* says: ???The disease# of beer
drinkers are nlway* of a dangerous character,
and, in case of ait accident, they can never
undergo the most trilling operation with the
security of the temnerute. They almost inva
riably die under it.' ...
Dr. Grinrod, a prominent London nhysician,
,avs: ???A copious beer drinker is nlway* one
vital part. He wear* hi* heart on his sleeve,
bare to a death wound even from a rusty nail
or the claw of a cat.???
Dr. Gordon *ays: ???The beer drinkers, when
attacked with acute disease, are not able to
bear depletion, and they die.???
Dr. Nixon says: ???Intoxicating drinks,
whether taken in the form of fermented or dis
tilled liquors, are a very frequent predisposing
cause of disease.???
One of our own workers, on a reeeut visit to
Bellevue hospital, says: ???As we entered the
ward, the first sight opposite the door was a
surgeon dressing a gangrenous arm. His words
to the path*rit, as we caught them, were: ???No,

continues: ???A buy in another bed, motherless,

Methodist church. It was Mr. Toombs's
habit, when speaking jocularly, to claim that
be was in consequence a brother-in-law to
the church. With increasing ago CAlne fall
ing health. The fond wife was kindly, ten
derly nursed by her distinguished husband.
When they went to their rlarkavillo moun
tain home, in tho early spring ftf a year ago,
Mrs. Toombs was living her
lost doys. Her death was tho
great blow which sobered Toombs. His
thoughts turned from the grave to God, and ho
made hi* peace. By the grave of this noble
ChrilttAn woman a remarkable filet is su~
gested. She had been for fifty year* the w
of a man of wonderful magnetism, of gigantic
physique, of engaging manners. Over half of
this time was spent iu the national capital,
where her husband wo* surrounded by all tho
allurements of flattery, all the wiles or tho set,
all tho opportunities or his manners nnd sta
tion. Yet, through it all, Toombs was a faith-
ful husband. Not even a whisper has ever
been intdo which could compromise his name.
What a comment this is on the fidelity of the
husbaud and the influence of tho wife.
THE TOO MRS 01' FORMER YEARS.
Looking from tho bent figuro which stood
the other dry on Greene street, though yet
be ring traces of former years, one instinct
ively turns to the prints which give the shad
ow of the Tooiuhs of 1855. Ho was then in tho
zenith of his physical beauty and intellectual
strength. IIo had already won tho attention
of the republic.: his fiery eloquence had made
him as hated in tho home of ab< Htioiiism as he
worshiped by his follower* in the south.
When he spoke a nation listened. With
tho impetuosity of Niagara he precipitated
the events which led to the great struggle
iu v hich cun non took tho place ol the
ballot. From the confederate senate aud the
cabinet of Jefferson Davis he sought a post iu
the field, esteeming thut the pluco of every
man was in the front. Tho qualities, however,
which made him formidable in debate made
him weak iu the field. He was not born to
obey. General Toombs w*as not destined to
become one of the military heroes of the age.
The stories yf his disobedience of orders and
his refusal to consider himself under arrest are
numerous, some of them incredible, were they
not vouched for.
A* if bv the irony of fate, tho struggle which
Toombs had done so much to briug about was
destined to come to an end at his hojne. It was
within a few miles of Toombs???s residence that
Jefferson Davis held hi* last cabinet council,
when Colonel Pritchett???s Michigan regiment,
following up the fleeing chieftain, overtook
him in Irwin county. Toombs was informed of
the presence of the federal soldiers just iu time
to seek flight on that most unromantic creature,
the mule. For a few days he fouud refuge with
Colonel K. A. Tate, iu the lower part or Elbert
county. In Colonel Tate???s residence there was*
life-sized engraving of Toombs, and so
great was the resemblauce that
one seeing the picture could
not mistake the man. The colored people
noticed the similarity between the mysterious
strauger and the picture. The plantation was
soon overrun with federal spies, who offered
large rewards for the fugitive???yet, though a
hundred colored people could lay their hands
on him, not one revealed bis hiding-place???a
wonderful example of colored fidelity. For
Home months after his final escape he lived in
Paris. Here it was that he made bis memora
ble answer when asked how be lived: ???I am
eating an acre of ground a day.???
His expense* were $5 a day. ID* bad sold
_ quantity of Texas land for $5 an acre, which
explained bis answer.
On his return home he lived quietly, but was
much annoyed by the visits of the numerous
correspondents. One of the worst of ibis das* |
??. Who
Oftt ahailt th
tpoy tho*mcinbers of the cou>
number of day* over the forty prescribed iu
the call for the convmition, (tonerul Toombs
solved tho problem by saying:
???I will advan.M . 'ey r-iit of my
pocket, and trust the jraoplc of Georgia for iti
repayment.???
As a consequence ho advanced nearly $30,-
000, which was refunded by tho next legisla
ture.
HU pride of state is wonderful. Ono day ho
sauntered into tho supremo court room, rather
under tho infiuenco of liquor. An attorney
was addressing tho court in terms which
seemed to indicate that Georgia would not pay
her debts. Interrupting him at once, General
Tooinbs said: ???
May it please tho court, Georgia will pay
her debts. If sho does not, then I will jiay
them for her.???
General Toombs U now 74 years of age. He
stoops considerably, and has an infirm wulk t
which denotes his'weakness. He has lost
much flesh within the past few years. His
?yc?? ore weak, a cataract growing over ono of
horn, which causes considerable suffering. In
his home at Washington ho Is always sur
rounded by some of his grandchildren, in
whofle company he takes great delight. They
fed that ho has but a few days inoro to live,
nnd do everything in their power to render
his declining years comfortable.
Wheir ho passes away, n great mon indeed
will have fallen???and nn honest oue.
