The greatest social function Virginia bad ever witnessed and one which was WASHINGTON AS A BBIBEGEOOM. destined to go dour, in the nnnols^tf history was to take place that day. Colonel George Washington, of the adjoining county, the highly esteemed young officer, who had just returned I from a successful military campaign, and had taken his seat as a member of the House of Burgesses, was to come over from his horn j in Mount Vernon to wed the beautiful and wealthy widowed daughter of Colonel John Daupridge, Martha Dandridge CiMis.

Mark Guy Pease ? says: } "We Englishmen, so proud of our coun5 try, must bow down with an awful shame , at the thought of it. All that England has done and is doing to advance the welfare ' of the nations, is undone, and worse than r undone, by the curse of strong drink. It, j hurts one, indeed, to think of it, but it is just the awful and terrible truth that r in spite of our Bible societies and of all our great missionary societies, the world would be better to-day if there were no j England. '"In India it i6 said that for every native * converted to Christianity, 100 natives are 1 made drunkards. When the natives see a drunken* man, they are accustomed to say: 'He has left Mohammed and gone to ' Jesus.' 'Now that Burmah is annexed,' ' eays a missionary, 'it has become a place i? of cheap drink and great crimes.' ? "I have only once been near a Moham? medan town, and this is what I saw: I had not landed five minutes before I was U eurrounded by a group of Arab boys car0 rying bottles of spirits?Mohammedan , lads, whose religion forbids them to drink 'strong drink?and we were assailed witb 1 cries in broken English: "Master, buy f bottle orandy?three-six.' 'Miss, nice bottle brandy?three-s?x.' My heart prayed God that these lads might be kept sober Mohammedans rather than become such 'Christians' as they are accustomed to Bee. Little wonder.* that one of the most enlightened Brahmins cried: 'Oh, that we | had never seen a European face; oh, that * we had never tasted the bitter sweets of your civilization, rather than that it should make us a nation of drunkards and brutes.' Thus writes Arnold White, who has lived among the natives: " 'The Indians of America and Hindostan, the wild races of Australia, the Kaffirs, the debased Hottentots,* the West Coast negroes, the effeminate Cingalese, and the sinewy aborigines of Canada, have bitter reason to rue'the first day of their communication with the Anglo-Saxon race. England has polluted with drink and honeycombed with foul disease the lives of those races who still survive a contact all unsought by them. When .our countrymen return from Eastern lands they tell us that for every missionary-sent out there go also some 3000 gallons of rum: that it is better to carry out Mo' 3 n co uamnieuaLijMiii man i/unmiuiiivj, Mohammedanism is temperate and Christianity is not.' "Mr. Mackay, of the Xyanza Mission, writes: , " 'Oh, how often shall I write in my journal as I pass through many tribe*, "Drink is the curse of Africa?" Go where you will, and you will find men, women and children recline irom the effects of alcohol. The vast West cf Africa is ruined with rum.' "Few men had such opportunities of seeing the world as Sir George Grey. His 'life has been spent in constant contact I with eavage races in Africa, with Zulus I and Kaffirs, in New Zealand with the Ma- j oris. He declared that when he cajne home to Lonildn. he saw in a single week sights more shameful than he had seen during all those yean; among the savages, . and it was all through strong drink. ' "Rev. P. .J. Ritchie, of Queenstown, in ? an address-delivered as chairman of the o Congregational Union, eaid: e "Is it not clesr that, the spread of . drinking habits among the natives must inevitably tend to render them unfit for any useful service, to deprive them of the il means of honest livelihood, and consequently to drive them into criminal courses, until they are pood for nothing but to be cast out and trodden under feet of men? ! The voice 01 tbeir blood will cry from e the ground unto heaven against their c white destroyers. Our boasted civilization has given them the Bible with one ' band and the brandy bottle with the other.

" t S ' Norwegian C?re For Drnokeacna. I, _ In Norway drunkenness is punished by s imprisonment. As soon as a man is incarcerated the delinquent ha9 a loaf and wine ' morning and evening. The bread is served t in a wooden bowl full of wine, in which it n has been soaking for an hour. The first - day the drunkard swallows his allowance ' willingly enough. The second day it seems less pleasing. At the end of eight or ten days prisoners have been known to y abstain altogether from the food thus piti, ilessly presented.

The action of alcohol on the nervous system is one of its most important and most unfortunate characteristic*. It is this ac? tion which leads to the "craving" for drink. The danger from tbe liquor traffic, overwhelming as it is, is slight compared to the danger there is of the national conscience becoming hardened to the idea of complicity with the crime. At the Yeovil (England) bankruptcy court recently a Burton innkeeper maintained that the reason of his insolvency was because "all the wople in the village bad turned teetotal* r~." Dr. Willard Parker, who for many years stood at the head of the medical profesuion in New York City, said: "One-third of all the deaths in .New York City are caused by alcoholic drinks." The need of mining towns for religious and temperance work js very great. W'r;hin 200 miles of Chicago is a mining town of 1000 people without a church or any kind of a religious service. Another town near? by has 1200 people, thirty-seven saloons, but not a church. A bill is before the Legislature of Vir* ginia requiring social clubs to pay not only a percapita tax on their membership, Imt * also a barroom license.
