THE WEEKIi? CONSTITUTION. . ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY NOVEMBER 4 1884; TWELVE PAGES. 7 PIQUANT PARAGRAPHS. INTERESTING ITEMS ON CURRENT TOPICS OF THE DAY. The Temperance People and the Work They Are Doing???New Jersey???s Lon by For- eat Fires???Napoleon*a Contempo- \ rarles???The Cost of Living. Tdi advocates of the high license system may be set down as very conservative temperance re* formers, but it cannot bo doubted that they are doing a good work. They are very much encour aged over the workings of their system in Illinois smd Texas. The high license law stems to be wonderful success wherever it fi tried. Small deal- ers in the slums and alleys, the claw patronized by criminals, cannot afford to pay the license.' Fewer liquor saloons exist under this Jaw, and they are naturally of a more respectable character. In Illinois it lyu been found that under the new plan the revenue from license fees is in many places double the amount formerly collec ted. This is a good thing for the tax-payer*. The Blaine gang confesses its desperate condi* ion when it shakes the bloody shirt. Many sensible people who have lived a retired life, or have been engaged in business, make a mistake when they enter society by aping the airs and graces of the dudes. When they do this they succeed only in making themselves contemptible. Peihapa Benjamin Franklin has left us the best social example. He was a plain man. bad been a mechanic and was the son of a chanlc. At one time in his career he was sent as an smhassador from this country to France, no found himself suddenly plunged into the most brilliant society of the world. Instead of trying to Imitate wbat he saw, Franklin kept his simple grave dignity, bis Quaker dress and plniu language. The result was that the Parisians mado a deral god of him. Men of the highest rank paid him homage, and beautiful women cut off his buttons for souvenirs. Franklin becafhe the central figure of the most splendid court in Europe, aud tho French capital is still full of his traditions. This shows how far common sense will go: Two youno ladies- in* Nashville, according to the Banner, recently made a wager of a pair of gloves that they would go two day* in the same home without speaking a word. It is said that cachiemaincd silent the length of time agreed upon. Many marvelous tales have come to light during the present campaign, but this story will not be credited for an instant by even the most unsophisticated. It is doubtless one of Joe Mul- hatton's yarns. ??? Every year New Jersey sutlers from forest fires, but the conflagrations this year cover a wider area than was ever before known. The losses already aggregate $250,000, and the flames are still raging. The inhabitants of scores of towns and villages Jiavefabundoned their usual occupations, and aro engaged in fighting tho fire fiend. This band ??? to ??? hand conflict of thousands of men, women and children with fire is a terrible thing. The Are fighters aro armed with spades aud shovels with which they cover the*edgcs of the flro with sand. Sometimes counter fires are started Among the Are fighters, the other day, was noted a handsome young woman who battled for hours vigorously and effectively with tho flames. Sho was tall, plump and pretty, and her long golden hair could be seen waving in a disheveled mass through the suffocating banks of smoke, as sho fought bmvely by her brother???s side. She was tho central figure of the lurid sceno and loomed up a veritable heroine. The people in our small towns and country dis tricts ought to do more for their Intellectual cul ture. In every village during the winter season their should ho a lyccum, and debates, recitations and lectures should run through the entire sea son. Tho programme could be varied by concerts and amateur dramat ic exhibitions. In every country neighborhood there is enough native talent to mako the establishment of a lyceum practicable Properly conducted, these lyceums would give tboce In attendance n liberal education. Latent talent would be developed, young men would find out tho extent and tenden cy of tlieJr gifts, volnublo Information wculd he put in circulation^ tho in tolled of tho community would be quickened and the average standard of culture would bo peiceptibly elevated. The moral influence of tho entertainments sug gested would be a powerful factor in the general progress of the community. Ifi fact it is Impoasl- bis to say too much in favor of country lyceum system. . Joaquin Miller has discovered in New Orleans a city sot far from tho Moxiean seas, which is built below the levels of tho river. The wells are built above the ground. The graves are built on top of the earth. New Orleans reminds the poet corres pondent of a very pretty girl with a smudged face, a pretty old pretty girl, and a girl who knows a tremendous lot. There are many queer things to be seen in this queer old city. Miller paucs over tho hackneyed sights written up by other correspondents, and tells us of other curiosi ties. The bugs were a revelation to him. At night he went in bathing at the foot of Canal street, and when he came out he saw a lot of Jet- black bugs, as big as mice, sitting on the edge o( the wharf. One of these bugs stood tip on his bind legs and looked the poet squarely iu the eye. He had a mustache like the king of Italy. Joa quin looked at the frightful object and fled pre cipitately. Dime no*-el reading continues to bear its fruits. In Philadelphia, the oilier day, two seventeen year old boys met aud held a friendly conversa tion, the mult of which was the killing, of one and the fatal shooting of the other. It seems that the two boys were not essentially bad, hut they had been reading dime novels and their tastes had become depraved. After finishing "Tiger Dick,??? the boys decided that it would lie a heroic thing to die together. It was agreed that one should ahoot the other and then kill himself. The first part of the tragedy was carried out and the mur derer then fired a bullet into his own brain. Tho affair moat be charged to the account of flash lit erature. The grandson of the emperor Iturbide, of Mexi co, resides in Washington, where he patiently awaits a call to the throne bequeathed him by bis grandfather. In Washington society the ministers of European nations rise when the young prince inters and receive him with royal honors. If this grandson of an emperor ia wise, he will abandon all hope of securing the Mexican throne. It Is possible for him to gratify his ambi tion in another way. He has been educated in this country and knows something of our methods. He has money and friends, and he has only, to introduce the machinery of American politics in Mexico to become a "bow.??? As a po litical "boas,??? tile young man would wield far greater power than an emperor enjoys, and ho would escape many of the pains and penalties in cident to royalty in a country of revolutionary and uncertain temper. The New York Times Is responsible for the state ment that an electric well bas been dhoovered at Itbics, N. Y. It seems that a short time ago one Mrs. McGinnis attempted to draw a backet of water from the well In question. The moment the lady touched the chain attached to the bucket her heeia flew up and she fell seB-ele?? to the ground. After recovering she walked to the bouse and in formed the family that *hc bad been knocked down with a sand bag. Her daughter, a strap ping young woman of indomitable courage, at once flew to the well, vowing that she would draw a bucket of water In spite of all the tramps and tongbs in the United States. But the instant she touched the chain her heels took the same upward flight at In the case of her mother and the plucky girl was thrown violent???? to the ground. After this both women declared that the well wss betwitched, and this statement was nude to Mr. McGinnis* as soon as be returned from his day's work. With the average man???s contempt far the Judgment of women, McGinn im, as might have Utn expected, treated this Tic* ol the natter with scorn, but he admitted that elcctiiclty might have leaked into the well from some of the many electric wires in use iu Ithaca. He believed, however, that water could be drawn by using a rope instead of an iron chain, and he forthwith proceeded to teat his theory. He drew up the water without any difficulty and was indulging in a little glorifica tion over bis success when his hand accidentally touched the water and he received a powerful shock which knocked him whirling a distance of about sixteen feet. McGinniss, as soon as he bad picked himself up and repaired the dflmagca to his person, said, that the water itself possessed the power ot shock ing. Filling a glass dish with it he tendered it to the family cat. The moment tho cat???s whiskers touched the water a shower of sparks flew from her fur, aud she flew to the cellar with a tail os big as a feather duster. A bull dog was next In duced to tackle the water, and although he swal lowed it he was left in a limp and disfigured con dition with a jet of elf ctric light flickering at tho end of his tail. The attention of a scientist was called to the well, and after making an analysis of the water be announced that it con tained thirty-three per cent, of pure electricity, and at once proposed to McGinniss a partnership for the purpose of bottling and selling the stuff as a tonic. The necessary arrangements have been made, and the electric water will soon bo offered for sale. It will doubtless become a very popular beverage, as It is raid to be eight .times more ex hilarating than rye whisky. . The pulpit Is the very last place for estheticiim to entrench itself, but it has reached that point. The great lights of the esthetic school treat tho sonorous and passionate oratory of the past with toDtemt t, and t ubstftutc a langn cf, lethargic lisp ing of cold intellectualities. The esthetic prescher cultivates a sleepy and colorless visage, a dulcet monotone, a white-handed daintiness of touch and an easy effeminate bearing. His stylo Is called ???repose in oratory.??? Action, emotion and fervor of exprosion are suppressed. They ore considered vulgar. If the new style of oratory gains .a foot hold the influence of the pulpit will amount to very little. It is impossible for an earnest man to deliver bold and striking thoughts In a state of ab solute bodily and mental repose. Loyolo, Huss, Wesley, Whitflold, Beecher and Talmage would never have swayed millions of hearers If they had adopted the methods of 4he new school of pulpiteers. Church going people everywhere should let their Miss Nancy preachers know that effeminacy and* esthetic tomfoolery will not be tolerated. It is a singular fact that even the bitterest oj Napoleon???s contemporaries did not paint him black os he is represented by recent historians, modern writer says that Napoleon during the lat ter half of Ills career ruined everything by leth argy and indecision, but was still capable of conceiving the most stupendous crimes against the world???s pcnco and welfare. To every objec tion nrged against his plans he replied with curses and obscene words. His behavior after he occu pied Moscow was pusilanimoua. During tho re treat he rode in tho center of the army in a car riage with n fat man on each side to keep him warm. Throughout his career ho was false man, a glittering wretch with Jno sympathies in common with tho human family. His arro gance was colossal. After Waterloo ho said: "Why should I be told about kindness, abstract Justice aud natural laws? The first law is necessity; tho highest justice is the public safety. Every day has its own difficulty, every elrcuma???anco Its law, every man his own natural character. Mlno is not to bo an angel!??? Tho allies put this dangerous public enemy on a rock in mid ocean, and tho world will never know tho full extent of the bloody schemes of that deep re volving mind. Undoubtedly, however, wo under stand and know moro of tho man than did his friends and enemies. Whin both parents have eyes of tho same color ??8 per cent of tho children follow their parents In this feature, and of tho 12 per cent born with eyes other than the parental color n part must bo attributed to intermittent heredity. Moro females than males have black or brown eyes in tho pro portion of 49 to 45. With different colored eyes in the two parents, ??3 per cent of the children follow tho fathers In being dark-eyed, and GO per cent sollow their mother in being dark eyed, Some great men have no systematic business methods. It is said that until President Arthur came in nono of tho presidents kept even a scrap of paper to show wbat occurred during tho day. President Arthur lmd a record kept of everything, of the visitors, the object of their visits, of the letters and documents received and of their disposition. This lsbuslnets-likc. Without duo attention to the small details of business, the gravest blunders are llablo to occnr. And yet there aro men of com manding talent who cannot attend to small mat ters. William Pitt, according to his sister, knew nothing accurately. Patrick Henry could movo a whole nation to take up arms, but he could not draw up tho simplest court paper. Joseph Addison could write immor tal poetry and prose, but when ho was called upon to write a letter to royalty he bungled over It so much that a common clerk had to bo called in to do it. Pitt, Henry and Addison were meu of ge nius, but in matters of ordinary business, their lack of lystem made them as helpless as children. At a time when so much is snid about wages and the cost of living in the greatest and most progres sive of all republics, it will be of interest to see how Colombia, one of the South American repnb- lies, is getting along. Even In .Colombia thero is y of "hard tiroes,??? Hero are aome of the ruling market prices: Tobacco, (1 per pound; coal, $12.50 per ton; keroseue, 11.70 to $2.25 per gallon; wheat bread, ten cents a loaf; beef and pork, twenty cents a pound; butter eighty cents; eggs, forty cents a dozen; lard, thirty cents a iKjncd; sugar twenty cents a pound. Tho wages labor are fluctuating. The president sure of his $12,000 salary, the governors of their $1,800, and the soldier of his $400, but nothing else is cure. Clerks receive an average of fJO per mouth, farm bands $10, machincsts ftO. With good government an advance of ten per cent may be expected in wages. When Thnrlow Weed was quite a young mao M comrades told him that he was ??ut out for a poli tician, and be was Inclined to believe them, but ho realized to bis bitter regret that his memory was a sieve. lie could not remember dates, names, faces and appointments. Speaking of the matter his wife, the hopeful little woman told him that if be had no memory he most make one. So every evening he spent fifteen min ute* trying to recall the eveuts of theday. At first be could remember very little, but by degrees his memory improved. From that time for nearly fifty years be made it a praciice every night to tell bis wife the history of the day, the editorials be had written, the people he had seeen, bl* conver sation with them, the letters he had sent and re ceived, his rides and walks, in fact everything Mr. Weed found the! this mental discipline strengthened his memory until it became phe nomenal, and be always recommended persons of weak memory to follow his example. The tobacco poisoning resulting from smoking is seldom the cause of any organ ic disease. Hence people do not realize the danger of using tobacco. The weed gets in its fine work in *n Insidious way. It kills thousands and yet the diseases to which It gives rise cannot always be traced to ft. Tobacco annually shatters more conutf tution<thaa drink ruins. It always diminishes the action of the heart and affects the nerves. The most emi nent physicians continue to repeat there warnings, but without effect. The tobacco habit has fuller sway at habit. James Payjt, the novelist, In his literary re jections, says many good things. Payn h??d the ??d vantage of a university education, but be ad mits that be couW not get on with the languor* and baud mathematics. He was wbat Is called % ???nsdieg student,??? and by following bis own methods equipped himself more effectively for bis career than be could bare done by sticking to the routine of As a literary mgq be bade fight his way to success. He lutlmates that when unjustly assailed by critics and rivals he always made it a rule to strike back, aad he generally got a little more than even with his as* ???sailants. While he does not coil this practice a Christian virtue, he thinks that it tends to public advantage. It is well to make offensive people understand that even a worm will turn. It la useless to give a soft answer with the expectation of turning away wrath when the wratby Individ ual is base and cruel. It la not advisable to attempt to conciliate such a creat ure. In dealing with sueh enemies Payn???s policy has always been to "pay them off,??? and he tells the public in an exultant way just bow he managed to do it. He began to write ear ly in life, and his manuscripts were rejccted^wlth singular unanimity. He won his way to success very slowly, but he succeeded. Hois the author of twenty seven popular volumes, and by com mon consent, he la rated above Trollope. For a man who iloea not pretend to be a genius this is a good showing. Quinine is a great boon to the human race. The large increase in the average length of human life during the last forty years is duo In a great measure to the increased production of qulnino and its almost universal use. This medicino de stroys malaria in the system and Js an antidote for intermittent fevers and many other ailments. It Jones up the digestive organs enabling them to perform their work. When one is weary and languid at the close of a day???s work, if before partaking of a late dinner or eating supper, if he will take oue or two grains of quinine it tones up the system to appropriate a good meal which furnishes tho vigor needed for another day???s toil. The qulnino Is digested with the food and gets out of the blood in a tew hours. Contrary to the general opinion, it does not lose its effect from contiuous use. It Is sometimes very embarrassing to a public speaker to be interrupted while addressing a meet ing. At Bridgeport, Connecticut, the other uight while Senator Hawley was addressing au enthusi astic republican audience he took occasion to thank God that he saw no pinched faces in New England. Springing to Lis feet a decently drossod old man exclaimed: "I have lust come from Fall River. There are 10,000 workmen there out of employment. Their families are literally starving. Talking about pinched faces?????? Hera bo was promptly sup pressed by being hustled out of the meeting. Tho police wanted to lock him up, but several citiseus secured his release. Tho poor fellow only told the truth, but Senator Hawley found himself consid erably set back by the interruption. . - Dr. Talmaok, in a recent editorial, protests against soft religion. He says that tho Christian character of tho present day is gentle, well-mean ing and active, but it lacks swarthiness and power. It is wanting iu moral mascle. The soft ness of so-called Christian literature is responsible for much of this. Religious twaddle is no moro cffectivo than worldly twaddle. Too many Chris tiana write and speak when they have nothing to any. Tho school of Christ la as much out doors as indoors. Tho workers should do rough, manly work. When a man???s heart is soft that is no reason why he should allow his bead to get soft. The spirit of genuine religion is a spirit of great power. Dr. Talraogo Is the very man to speak out in this way. There is no lack of manliness and power in his ministry. Mr. Beecher's letter to Brother Joy was timed ro as to be handed to tho latter ns he stepped on the wbnrf at New York on his return from Europe. It Is singular how tome people seem to forget that Beecher is a fighter from the word go. An eminent English surgeon has discovered that shaving is a deadly practice, and If stea lily Indulged in shortens life by several years. Few will doubt this the conclusion of tho Englishman, hut they may not be prepared to admit tho fall extent of tho injury resulting from tho uso of tho razor. Tho frequent scraping of tho face, especially with n dull razor, pulls and irritates the muscles. Many of these muscles have a sympathetic connection with the eyes and more or less Influence upon tho brain. That snch unnatural working of tho mus cles should result disastrously, Is not a matter of surprise, and blindness and partial paralysis' may, therefore, bo set down as among tho consequences of shaving. After all, there Is no reason why a man should go to tho trouble and expeuso of stripping his faco of its natural covering. If a full beard is properly cared for, it is a thing of beauty aa well as a joy to tho average man. Among the most venturous walkers of the dayjl Mr. Charles T. Lummus, a western editor of soma reputation. Mr. Lummus started from Cincinnati a short time ago with the intention of lodging It all the way to 1 Los Angeles, California, no reached Denver, Colorado, in forty-two days, and left that city on Monday last. IIo expects to arrive at Los Angoles on tho 10th of January. As his route lies over mountains through forests, hostile Iudlans and wild beasts during an inclement sesNou, ho ha* no pleasure trip before plm. It is his intention to re-enter journalism when he reaches Los Angeles. Canmpatb St. John Is in a fair way to lore hi suppoitcrs. In fact ho seems to bo In thecoudl tlon of the fellow who had to go oft and flock by himself. According to the statements of his fn'.h- cr-ln-Iaw 8t. John deserted his wife after living with her thretf months, and after that refused to givo or do anything for her support or for the support of their child. Mrs. St. John waited seven years patiently for tho recognition of her husband, and failing to obtain it sued for a divorce on the ground of cruelty. She died shortly afterwards of a broken heart. At one time when John???s ion was confined to hU bed by an accident the heartless father refused to liquidate the doctor???s bill. This makes a rather black record for the great moral reformer, and must Inevitably hurt him not a little. It is a singular fact that many great reformers have been' cruel and brutal in their family relations. It may be that bt. John belongs to this class. Whilo tho country is in no danger of seeing him in the white house, it is well to havo his record properly ihown up. THE BURNING SHIP. DURING THE WEEK.

Ammon fated baking powders???that ia ba king powders fn which carbonate of ammonia is used as an Ingredient, and which exhale an odcr of ammonia when heated???are classed by many eminent pbvsieisns and sanitarians a* superior to all ethers. Professor Haiaell. of London, who fa recognized as highest author ity on the subject ot rood hygiene, commends in the strongest terms the use of carbonate of ammonia as a leavening agent, stating Its great advantage to be in its perfect volatility, which permits it to be, by the best of baking, entirely thrown into leavening gas whereby the bread is raised. The experiment with best would seem to indicate the superior, not the inferior, value of such baking powder. The little heat that ia irr,parted to it when held over a gaa jet, lamp, or stove, suffices, to re solve the carbonate of ammonia into leaven ing gas and throws it off. The first beat bakiag therefore will effectually develop all the gas thcrougbiy leaven the loaf, and disefpate the gss-producing ingredients of a powder of this Sind; and this is the highest test of a perfect baking powder. Where other alkalies eione are used they are net infrequently retained, unresolved, through the whole process oi ba king, and remain an unwholesome ingredient fn tne finished bread.
