Dr. Burcbard now so Widely known on account of his famous and fool ish ???Rum, Romanian) and rebellion" utterance, it adcscc ndant of thcjbr liurebard who many year* ago was so effectually snubbed by Aaron Burr. Aa tbc atory goto. Dr. Burcbard wa?? annoyod to- cauwj Colonel Burr came late to acrvlcc In squeak ing boots. One Sunday tbc doctor publicly re- proved tbo offender, saying: "You ha\c been guilty of a criminal offense against the Almighty, sir. and on the lari great day I shall ap pear at flic bar of God as your accuser." Tbit was very Id prestive, tut Burr was equal to tbc occat- Jug. Pausing at the door of of bis pew, be smil ingly said: "In (be course of n largo and varlfed i rim Inn I practice, doctor, I have observed that the greatett criminals aro always tbc first to turn state???s evidence." All tbc Butbards seem to have a talent for getting into hot water Tiir. Chicago Inter Ocean claims that St. Joint's small vote In the south shows that prohibition is not gnlnliJg In that section. The Inter Ocean very well knows that Hi John???s vote Is no Indication of the drift of flie liquor ana anti liquor senti ment In this section. It Is well understood every where that tbc southern slates go In for the local option policy. Our people do not propose to make a ni llontl Issue of a mutter that can be regulated nt home. Tin: sudden death, from heart disease, of Cap tain D. I* J???aytic, the man who tor years past has been endeavoring to establish a colony of whiles in the Indian territory, ends the career ol one of the went enterprising adventurers of the day. At the time of Payne's death he hud about 11,000 per- sent under ills leadership. These colonists have several tlmf* Invaded the Indian territory and started a settlement, but the government has Invariably interfered with them and broken them up. What will become of the COiohUtsslPcro the death of their leader Isa mat ter of conjecture. It will require a man of brains, courage and capital to bold them together. It iutli a leader comc?? to the front the patty will probably try it again In a Mew York penitentiary h a prisoner who has received a visit from hi* father on Thauksgiv- lug day, every year, for the (mat quarter of a cen tury. Twenty-six yean ago the prl-duer, then a young man of 22, murdered hit Pi-year old wife. He manifested the greatest indlffcronco when ar- tcrtcd, but blacondurt In prison lias made him n general favorite. He Is In for life, and every year on Thanksgiving day bis mother aud sister p.vk hrmpt(g.aiid boxes with good tilings, aud tho old father tnkia tlxui to tho erring son. This tombing story of devotion speaks for itself. The afllleted people wboio loving earo Is still ex tended to their son aud brother dospltc Ills crime and disgrace aro worthy o( oil honor. It Is raid that In Louisiana tbo local option elec* lions have excited greater Interest thjm tbo presi dential contest. About twenty of those elections have been held within the* past two years, and while the tcMpcrauco people have been defeated in the majority of tnttauecs it was by such a closo vote that they have felt very much encouraged. The local option policy finds favor lu most of tho southern states, aud the temperauce sentiment Is icully stronger here than In tho uorth and west whtie so much fu*a is inado about it. It is worthy of note that In this as In other mat ters tho northern and western people look to a patinml government to correct tho evil. In tho south there Is a fooling that each community should settle tho question for Itself, This is carry ing out tho duuncrntlo Idea of looal self-govern ment, and It la much better than appealing to tho national government to crush out tho liquor traffic Without respecting the wishes of the people of every state aud locality. A son of tho Rev. Dr. Burcbard projKMfs to me a drag-net torateh and lunaulhato all who have atiokcu dh respectfully of his revered pa. For our part, wo hold that his revered j??

Many people now living remember the time wheu ph}slral training consisted elilclly In do- vouriug largo quant lies ol half mw beef. Nine out of ten believed hallateulury ago that raw beet and strong drink had a tendtney to luerwre a man's strength. Tho gladiators of the pritcut day, however, live on a very different diet. Well cooked meat, white bread, a small supp y of vegetables, a plain rice pudding and one or tiro glasses of port or sherry constitute the dinner of the modern athlete. llit break fast and supper do not differ widely from those of other ptoplo.

Cnoi.KRA Is still raging in Paris, but the panic is over. The wealthy classes are Indifferent to the disease. All Paris has swathed iuelf lu red flannel wHeb is held to be a safeguard. Another thco is that a drunken man is safe, but the Faubourg Et. Antoine, tbo moat drunken quarter of tho city, boa suffered most from tbc plague. Wherever tho disease has met with the proper degree elcanncM aud pure water it has been speedily stamped out. When it makes its appear- ante iu this country next spring, it may be ex pected to spread in localities wheroaanitation ??? neglected,and clean towns with an abundant sup ply of pure water will have little to fear from it. RBronMr.iv oro becoming a nuisance. An En glish statesman once said that patriotism waithe last refuge of rcoundrels, and In these days itesn be said that reform is tbo last dodge of the crank and tho vagrant. In the northern and western cities the socialistic reformers are stirring up the meanest passions of the worst people, and they permitted to go to the wild- extremes. In Chicago, U other day, a fellow named Grlflin harangued Crowd, and raid: "There Is but one remedy for all evils. We mint strike at property. It looks likea pity to destroy all these fine buildings, but it must bo done. We can???t secure justice in any other way. No man should havo more than he use. cue house, one store, one suit of clothes. Ii we find any vacant It is our duty to occupy or destroy them." Now this Is fine stuff to yell Into cars of a pack of Idle, drunken, vicious scoundrel*. If such talk I* allowed it will bear fruit some of these days. False doctrines find followers, and if their spread Is not checked trouble will come. When a man indulges In Griffin'satyleof talk he Isa 111 Inmate a lunatic asylum or a jail, and should he hustled off to one or the other of those places for Is own good and for the good of otherj. Accordin') to a correspondent of tho New York Sun, ti e Mexican congress Is n remarkable body. Tho members have no regular scats and no desks. They vote themselves stationery, stamps and In cidentals, and draw 5250 per month for their work. They clros neatly aud fashionably in black, wear silk list* and clean linen and would be pro nounced fine looking men anywhere. Tbo hay seed element is utterly fonnd wanting. You hear no bad grammar or pronunciation, no coarse lan tuage In tho lobbies, and It Is impossible to tel! A country member from a city mnti. Their behavior very dignified, but they all smoke while in session Juthc recent debate over the proposed reissue of Knglirly bonds there was some fluo speaking. The Mexican orators aro not as graceful as tho Americans. They gesticulate wildly, cutilg-zag lines before their noies, carve rhomtoidsnntof spoco with their forefingers shake to pieces an imaginary adversary. They uso their lauttungo better thau most Americana do theirs. ThHr fluency is (surprising. Not only in oot'grcts and in tho courts, but on tho streot comer theso people speak with graco and precision unknown to Americans An article In tho Popular Science Monthly treats of alcoholic trance aud the legal responsibility ol Inc hr Ini* a. It la stated, and tho fact seems to be Mtahliblud, that lu many eases of drunkenm there la ?? suspension of memory and conscious- Frequently tho victim will bo In a kind ol trance for days. Ifo will appear to act and talk ratlonaby, but he will bo In reality a mere autom aton, without consciousness or memory of his condition. In this condition ho will commit crimes apparently without .purpose or inotlvo T he author of tho article referred to concludes that in tbo light of science tho present legal treatment of Inebriety is littlo loss tlmu barbarism. In ebriety may be no excuse fpr Crime in a legal tense, but it \?? still les* an cxcuao for punishment which destroys the victim, or makes him moro helpless aud hopeless. Inebriety must 1hj regarded a disease and as a condition of legal Irresponsi bility ton certain extent dependng on tho elrcum stances of tacit individual ease. For act* com mitted In tho trance state the persou la physiologically and legally Irresponsible. All unu ml arts or crimes committed by iuebrlato* should lie investigated by competent physicians hefoto the legal respomihlllty can be determined. Of coutso the community is hound to protect It self npsliist this class of persons, but this can be douc by trestiug Im hrislcs as !u.si}no and locking them tip until a cure hn?? Ucn effected. Tiib bright aud aclivo young men who gathor, sift aud write up local events for the dally papon have a great admiration for Charles Dickens. In their expressive but slaugy language, ho wav "the lx?????* reporter." We would not write a word calculated to diminish the great Kngll*hmtu'i lame as a newspaperman, but it must bo admit ted that the enterprising reporters aud correapou- flints of the priccnt day regard Henry' M. Stanley as th?? ir chief. Btauley is tho typical American reporter, our day bo tus|>ecti and write* up the vi p< table traffic, takes a few note* of * dog flpht, ititcrvh-wa a city official on municipal corruption, tskts in a pwtel society reception at night, and the to xt morning starts for Faria in obedience to a cablegram from Bennett, who Immediately upon hla arrival dispatches him to the Interior of Africa to look up Livingstone. The young reporter turns the dark conttnentin aide out, and re veals to the world the vast rosourcra and opportunities of thd ongo valley, Ilia nerve, pluck and success push him to tho front rank, and when hi- agalu vl.-its Africa It la under tho patron age of the king ol Belgium.

Ftauley la relied upon sa tbecon.roUlug spirit aud the most efficient tn- stiumeut in carrying out this great work.

MVtral imchtis addressed a crowd of poor people What ePea their exoortatlons would have profluisd con only be gntacd at. as they were interrupted by a brisk old man who shouted, **l pMsrb the gw*pel ol bread. You can all get w Birthing to eat here every Thursday aid tsatnrday afternoon." Tho old man explained to a reporter that he t-elteved In giving hungry people something to eat first, and the gospel afterwards. It is needle* to say that be carried the crowd with him, and Iht good elegy men who were looking solely after the (plrttual welfare of the starving poor in that Bcallty found themselves left without a congre gation. In common with many other papers the Cincio n&ti Enquirer published the charge of the Knights of Honor Observer to the effect that Colonel It. J. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, the supreme treasurer, had embezzled tho sum of |U6,000. This publica tion led to a visit, hut Tuesday night, from a son of Colonel Breckinridge who was accompanied by a friend. According to the Enquirer the young man demanded the authority tor the objectiona ble publication, and the authority not being pro duced he flourished his pistol in a threatening way. Tbo Enquirer people at once touched an electric knob labeled ???Patrol Wagon," and the two Kentuckians departed in a burry, young Breckinridge threatening *to shoot anyone who followed him. The Enquirer claim that It has never expressed any opinion as to the truth or falsity of tbc charge against Colonel Breckiu- ridge, nnd expresses the hope that It is not true. Rev. Thomas Harrison continues to make a very popular ???boy preacher??? at the age of forty- three. Home carping critics may consider this a rather mature age for a boy, but they are too par ticular for anything. Actresses con tin uo to play girls??? parts long after they have passed tbo for ties, and there Is no reason why a preschcr should not play tbo part of a boy, especially when be fills tho bill to the entire satisfaction of the public. There arc nil sorts of boys, old boys as well as young boys, and Mr. Harrison may belong to the former class. When n man talks solid sense about the liquor problem his words always carry weight. A prom inent English physician advocates total absti- nc-rce, because tbc uso of alcohol as a beverage Interferes with its use si a medicine. Many valu able medicines are poisons, and can only be safe ly wed by rdmfnDtering them at the proper time with scientific precision. Morphine is sometimes the best remedy that can be employed, but It the patient has been in tho habit of using it dally the physician Is baffled. Tho same is true of alrobol. The abstainer enjoys its full benefit when be is compelled to take it as a medicine, but the moderate driukcr is cut oil from its best re sult*. The dally use of this poison, therefore, places n man in such a condition ns to leave him without a remedy at n time when it might deter mine the question of life or death. Now there Is common sense and Irresistible forch In this way of presenting the advantage of total abstinence. It is worth a ton of ordinary temperance tracts filled with frothy, flashing gush. In this country we frequently influence tho ccursc of public Justice and anticipate tho verdict f juries through the press. In FarLsthey gout uch work in a different way.

A sensible contemporary replies that It is so much tbo bolter. Tho more It cost*, tho greeter benefit will tbo poor derlvo from H. Workingmen will bnlld the palace and tho wages they rccei vo will feed and clothe their families. The rich will pay the bills. Tho tollers will get the benefit.

The rich man???^ extravagance supports the poor. Tho prosperous man who never rpends hts money for luxuries but hoards it, I* the real enemy of tho poor. In dutUimo* so- called economy Is a poor remedy. It Induces well- to-do peoplo to curtail their expenses, and tho wont effect of this Is felt by tbc poor. It Is a pub lic biasing to lmvo carnival*, fcrilvals, theaters' and other money distributing customs and amuse ments. A policy of strict economy would throw half tho businessmen aud workers out of occupation. There la one economical maxim, however, which is always in order. It is to live within your Income. That is tho duty of every msn, rich or poor. It U a good thing to have old error* exposed. An Englteh electrical Jouriul Inform* it* reader* that there is no truth In tho popular belief that chewing (punter* from a trvo struck by lightning will cure tho toothache, that such splinter* will not burn, that tho bodies of thoso killed by Ught?? ningdo not corrupt aud that no otiol* killed by lightning while asleep. There Is noth!ii| like be ing posted stout the o things. Tub bulldozing methods which aro so generally adopted In the northern and western statu* cause mm h hardship to good meu who vote and speak a* they please. The latest case in at Rockford, IU., The Rev. Mr. Anderson, a Baptist preacher of that town, was opposed to Senator Logan???s scheme tor devoting the tax on whliky to school purpose*. During tho recont campaign he made two temperance speeches. The defeat ol Blaine and I^gau mnddcncdjthe republi can members oi Mr. Anderson's congrogalon, aud letters poured in upou Uio pastor asking him to resign. When Mr. Anderson callod a church ccting and attempted to read the letters he was silt need by the .sheer force of noise. Aa ho had Busted to the friendship of hi?? congre gation, Mr. Anderson was iuvolved in dobt for a home which he had purchased. A largo part of bis back salary was overdue, and he asked that this be paid and that he be retained in the pulpit until Muy. Thb icqucri was refused and the un popular pastor filed bis resignation. It would bj dlfinult tolhid'a parallel instance of meanness. The verr men who have robbed thlsfrreacher o his back salary and driven him from hi* pulpit on account of bis Independence in exercising the privileges of a freeman, are foud in denouncing the alleged bulldozing and ostracism growing ou of politics in tbo south. Twenty years ago every mid llo cUm family en deavored to have at least one of its members enter army, navy, ministry, law or ni'diclne.
