'II COOK H LATEST TEMPERANCE
ADDKKSS.
The following i.s from an address
by Joseph Cook at the recent aiini-
versaryof the National Temperance
socict3r in New York. It deserves a
wide readingj:
"It is a fact and no fancy, that we
have all lived to see the abolition of
slavery. Why is it incredible that
some of us may live to see a greater
evil, namely, the liquor traffic, made
an outlaw by both state and nation
al constitutional enactments?
There is more money behind the
liquor traffic than was ever behind
slavery. Those who used to be
called by Charles Sumner "the
lords ol the lash" never worked, or
whipped, or burned, or starved to
death in any circuit of the seasons
before the civil war as many vie
tuns as the liquor traffic now de
stro3'& every year in our republic.
Slavery never added as much to the
wastes and burdens of the nation
in any one circuit of the seasons be
fore our military conflict began as
the liquor traffic now doe's every
tr i .
year. oiavery never cost us a
thousand millions annually. Slav
ery never destroyed 80,000 lives a
year. Slavery did not produce
nine-tenths of the crime of the
laud. It is on account of the unity
of the liquor traffic and its growing
audacity that I predict its over
throw. Slavery went down not
chiefly- because it was consummate
wickedness. In the history of our
conflict with slavery we saw the
truth of the old Pagan proverb:
"Whom the gods would destroy,
they first make mad." Public sen
timent rose slowly against slavery,
but when it fired on Fort Sumter
and took the nation by the throat,
then opposition to it acquired
national predominance. When the
liquor traffic takes the nation by the
throat, you will find that although
Americans often wait until the
fifty-ninth minute of the-eleventh
hour before they arouse themselves
in a fgreat crisis, they may, never
theles, unlock from their throat the
grip of the great evil in the sixtieth
minute.
"New York already has this grip
on her throat. Put New York is
only one great city of a nation that
is to be filled with crowded munici
palities. The day is probably not
fifty years distant when the lighted
torch in the hand of thatstatue of
the goddess of liberty at the gate's
of the ocean in New York harbor
will flash on the homes of live or
seven, or some would say, ten mil
lions of people here within cannon
range of the base of her pedestal.
But Chicago thinks she will have,
ten millions of people before you
will. Great cities are growing east
and west, and by and by' you will
begin to put the warp, into the woof
of your railroad sj-slem; and when
your trade with South America is
doubled and quadrupled, when the
south begins to develop her re
sources and you need north and
south lines, then your cities
will grow faster than ever, because
the crossings of railw-ays will
be multiplied. Cities spring up
where great lines of transit inter
sect each other. Cities are growing
faster than ever in every portion of
our great republic; but if you had a
London here at the mouth of j our
Hudson it would be no larger than
our city of the future. Thomas Car-13-le
said to me once in his study in
Chelsea, 'Universal suffrage in
great towns inevitably" lifts the
scoundrel class to the summit of af
fairs in politics.' Wendell Phillips
said to me on the doorstep of his
house iu Kssex street in Boston,
that cherished home of his where
an invalid wife lay sick so long,
'The day is coming when the liquor
traffic, unless we change our fash
ions of municipal government, will
strain the -government as slaver
never did.' When the paths to po
litical preferment lead through the
gin-mills, free government is a
farce, and its future is likely to be a
tragedy."

CUPID AMD THE CAT.
A Suffering Feline Came Ttetween Two
Soul That Heat as One.
He lives in Evanston, and during the
papt two years has been paying his ad
dresses to one of the most
charming
girls on the north side,
The wetlJinj?
day has not been naniod, but their en
gagement was announced almost a year
ago.
Several weeks ago, while they were
walking home from church one Sunday
night, they ran across a cat that was
wailing iiteously on a doorstep, f Do
you hear that, Jim?" she exclaimed,
grasping his arm with a closer grip.
'There's something the matter with that
poor little pussy. I'm going to see what
ails it."
"Nonsense!"' he replied. "Let's go on;
the cat will take care of itself."
"No; let's see what is the trouble."
Without more ado the young woman
ran up to the cat and was horified to
find that the animal had evidently been
run over by a wagon, as its spine was
dislocated and it was barely able to
crawl by dragging its hind legs.
"She's done for, sure enough," com
mented the Evanstonian. "She won't
last long. Come on, now."
The girl suddenly straightened up to
her full height. "Do you mean to say
that 3-ou would leave any animal to
suffer like this? There is a drugstore
on tho next corner. Run over there and
buy an ounce of chloroform. Hurry,
now, there's a dear!"
"Nonsense! You don't suppose I'm
going into the business of doctoring sick
cats on tho streets at night, do you? Be
sensible."
"And you don't suppose I'm going to
let this cat suffer here, do you? Go and
bring me a bottlo of chloroform in
stantly." "I won't do it."
"But I insist."
"You certainly can't Iks in earnest?"
"I certainly am. If you don't do it I
will go after it myself."
"You want to mako me appear ridic
ulous?" "Hurry up, dear!"
For a moment the 3'oung man did not
stir. The blood rushed to his face, and
he began to grow angr "See here!"
he exclaimed. "This is canying mat
ters entirely too far. I will permit no
woman to make a fool of me like this,
I'll get your chloroform if 3-0x1 really in
sist, but I warn 3-ou 3'ou'll never have
a chance to do such a trick again. I will
never have an3thing to do with 3ou
again. Mark that!"
"Get the chloroform.
"If I do everything is over between
us."
"All right; bring it."
Two minutes later a fine lace hand
kerchief saturated with the anaesthetic
was applied by a fair, white hand to the
nose of the suffering brute and the wail
ing ceased.
Here this story should end. A regard
for the truth, however, compels the ad
dition of the statement that tho 3oung
man thus far has actually carried his
threat into execution and tho prospect
of that wedding grows, dimmer and
dimmer. Chicago JlaiU
. A Successful Ruse.
A couple of thirsty fellows who had
been loafing all the forenoon on the
qirays at Stockholm were struck with a
brilliant idea. They borrowed an old
brandy" keg and half filled it with water.
Their one of them slung it on his . shoul
der and took it to the nearest spirit
vault, where he stated that he had been
sent by one of the skippers in port to
have the keg filled with brandy.
"The captain is sorry he only got it
half full 3'esterda3T ad thinks it would
be better to have it Jed to the top."
The keg was accordingly held under
the tap till it was full, and the fellow
hoisted it on his shoulder, but as he was
about to walk off with it he was stop
ped by the clerk, who demanded pa3r
ment for the spirits.
"Hasn't our skipper a running ac
count?" "Certainly not."
"Bless me! I must have gone to the
wrong shop!. There is nothing for it
but to empty half the keg back again."
This was no sooner said than done;
after which our hero merrily went in
search of his companion. Dagblaedt.
The Indian Attendants on the Oneen.
The Indian attendants who now invariably-
accompany the queen are a source
of great trouble to the court officials
who have charge of the various arrange
ments. The Indians require to travel
by themselves in a separate saloon, and
their meals and all refreshments must
be served to them in the train at the
stopping stations instead of their going
to the buffets with the suite and the
European servants.
Special arrangements have also to be
made for the Indians at the hotels, which
cause much bother and considerable ex
tra expense. Yet they have practically
no duties and are perfectly useless ex
cept for show. London Tit-Bits.
Taking Oft a Horse Collar.
It is not always ignorant persons who
fail to observe closely. Coleridge and
Wordsworth took a drive with a friend.
After great difficulty the horse was un
harnessed, except they could not get the
collar off. One of them said it was a
"downright imiossibility" and that the
horse's head must have grown since the
collar was put on. "La; master," said
a girl,. "turn the collar upside down."

THE BELLBUOY.
Like a restless, troubled spirit.
Self accuned beyond excuaint",
Seeking rent where none is offered, .
Vainly striving for release
XVrithea the bellbuoy In the ocean
As each wave in mad commotion
BufTets it without relenting.
Or a whispered word of paoe.
Sunbeams may each day caress It,
Or the storm king howl above it, .
To each one the wail goes upward
Iu a never endiug moan.
And the glistening sea gulls hear it
As they hover and pass near it.
And the rocky shores repeat it
In a uiutned undertone.
Oh, tho pathos of its life song,
Cliiinging not as years roll onward
Its one uote of weary walling
Outward borne unceaslnglyl
Prisoner iu Neptune's clasping,
Cliafliig under cord and hasping
Angel thou of mercy! warning
Countless sails that pass thee by.

Polite Photographers.
The knack which French photogra
phers, and especially those of Paris
possess in relieving their sitters of a
constrained and distressed look while
sitting for their portraits has long been
the envy and perplexity of photogra
phers of - other nations. An American
photographer, on a recent visit to Paris,
took pains to study the means by which
this very desirable result was reached.
He reports that it all lies in a very
simple device, which well illustrates
the nature of the Frenchman.
When a lady, for instance, ia sitting
to a photographer for a portrait, the
operator does not, in a perfunctory
manner, coldly request her to "Look
pleasant now, ma'am!" He says to her.
in the most natural and graceful man
ner in the world:
"It's quite unnecessary to ask madam
to look pleasant; she could not look
otherwise!"
The lady of course acknowledges the
compliment with her most gracious
and highbred smile. "Click!" goes the
camera and the picture is obtained, re
vealing the sitter at her high water
mark, as it were. Youth's Companion.
How a Prisoner Escaped.
If we will only rightly use little things
it is surprising how much may some
times be done with them. A vizier, hav
ing offended his royal master, was con
demned to lifelong imprisonment in a
high tower, and every night his wife
used to come and weep at its foot. "Go
home," said the husband, "and find a
black beetle, and then bring a bit of
butter and three strings one of fine silk,
one of stout twine, another of whipcord
and a strong rope."
XV hen she came provided with every
thing ne told her to put a touch of but
ter on the beetle's head, tie the silk
thread around him and place him on the
wall of the tower. Deceived by the
smell of butter, which he supposed was
above him, the insect continued to as
cend till he reached the top, and thus
the vizier secured the 6ilk thread. By it
ho pulled up the twine, then the whip
cord, and then a strong rope, by which
he finally escaped. Detroit Free Press.
The Earth to Be Like the Moon.
The water of the earth is all destined
to disappear from the surface of the
globe by being absorbed by subterranean
rocks, with which it will form chemical
combinations. The heavenly spheres
exhibit sufficiently striking examples of
such an evolution. The planet Mars
shows what will become of the earth
in some thousands of centuries. Its seas
are only shallow Mediterraneans of less
surface than the continents, and these
do not appear to be very high; and in
the appearance of the moon, all cracked
and dried up, we have a view of the
final state of the earth for the absorp
tion of the water by the solid nucleus
will be followed by that of the atmos
phere. Popular Science Monthly.
The Modern Way.
In India they drown a great many of
the girl babies. It is a time honored
custom, but not universally approved
from a therapeutic standpoint. In civ
ilized countries they put corsets on the
girl babies, which brings about the same
results, without the shock, which is a
sure concomitant of the Indian method.
Moreover, babies last longer under the
modern system, and it is especially
prized by people who prefer to keep
their girl babies for a few brief years.

What a Flood Leaves Behind.
The worst feature of a flood is the fact
that the river is apt to leave a deposit of
sand, varying in thickness from one inch
to ten feet, over a large extent of land
that wa3 formerly fertile. In the flood
of 1838 a great many farmers in the
American Bottom on going back to their
premises after the subsidence of the
waters, found their property covered
with river sand in beds so thick that
two or three years elapsed before good
crops could be raised. St. Louis Globe-
