Ingeis.dl on Alcohol. \t the ropiest of a auhsciiber we reprint tlu- following piece of word painting used hy the lute Col. Kobt. ti. Ingersoll in addressing a jury in a case involving the manufacture of alcohol. kkl am aware there is a prejudice against any man ?ngaged in ihe nanufa ituro of alcohol, 1 believe from the tune it issues from thecoiledand poisoned worm in the distillery, until it empties into the hell of death, dishonor ami crime, that it is demoralizing to cvoi v body that touches it, fiom the source to where it ends. 1 do not believe that anybody can contemplate the subject without being prejudeced against the crime. AH we have to do is to think of the stream of death, of the suicides, of the poverty, of the destruction, of the little children tugging -p the brcst of weak and despairing wives, asking for bread,of men of genius it has wrecked, the men struggling with imaginary ser pents produced by this hellish thing, and when you think of the jail, ?>f 1 lii! almshouses, of nsy lums, of the .trisoiK rs :in:l the scaffolds on either h ind, 1 do not winder tlnit every thoughtful man is prejudiced again-l tins vile -twll called alcohol. Intemperance cats down youth in vigor, man hood in its strength and age in its weaUeness. It breaks the father's heart, bereaves the doting mother, extinguishes natural attention, erases conjugal love, Idols out attachment and blights parental hope, and brings premature age in sorrow to the grave. It pro duces weakness, not strength; sk'kuess, not lieilth, death not life. It makes wives widows, children orphans, fathers liends am' all paupers. Ii feeds rheumatism, nurses gout, welcomes epidemic, i.ivites cholera, imports pestilence, and embraces con sumption. It covers the land with misery, idleness and crime. It engenders controversies, fosters quarrels find cherishes riots. It crowds your penitentiaries and furnishes vietms t?> the sea tin Id, It is the hlood of the gambler, the element of the burglar, the prop of the highwayman and the support of the midnight incendiary It countenances the liar, respects the thief, esteems the blasphemer. _ It violates obligations, reverences fraud, honors infamy. It defames benevolence, hates love scorns virtue and innocence. It incites the father to butcher his helpless offspring and the child to grind the parricidal axe. It burns up men, consumes women, detests life,curses (iod and despises heaven. It suborns witnesses, curses pertidy, detilcs the jury box and stains the judicial ( rminc It bribes voters, disqualifies votes, corrupts elections, pollutes our institutions and endangers the government. It degrades the citizen, debases the legislator,dishonors the statesman and disarms the patriot. It brings shame, not honor; misary, not happiness; and with the malevolence of a fiend, calmly surveys its frightful desolation, and unsatisfied with havoc, it poisons felicity, kills peace, ruins morals, wipes out national honor, then curses at the world and laughs at its ruin. It does that and more?it murders the soul. It is the sum of nil abomination the devil's best friend and God's worst enemy. NO 1*1 TV MIOWX 4'For years fate was atinr nu> continuously,, writes F. A.

During a visit to the south with an eclipse expedition some years ago an eminent American professor met an old negro servant whose duty it was to look after the chickens of tiie establishment where lie was staying. The day before the eclips took place the professor in an idle manient called the old man to him and said, "Sam, if tumorrow morning at 1 I o'clock you watch your chickens you will iind they will all go to roost." Sam was skeptical, of course, but when at the appointed time next day the sun in the heavens was darkened and tho chickens retired to roost the negro's astonishmeat knew no bounds, lie ap' preached the professor in awed wonder. "Mussu," h c asked, "how long ago did you know dat ' dein chickens would <ro loroosi?,. ' Oh, a long time," said the professor airily. ' Did you know a year ago, massaf" "Ves." *41 lion Mot heats Mo dehil!" ex'claimed the astonished old man. j "Dent chickens weren't hatched a yenr a?o!"
