valors through the City of Homo , at
.imos overflowing the lower jiart of the

Iron Bitters will conquer malarial fevers
mickly and more thoroughly than any
) thor remedy. Mr. Knos Ilito , U3 Court

if chills and fever after all else failed. "

John St. John , tlio niucoua | candidate
of the prohibition party for tlio presi
dency , WAS born by the auio of ft babbling
brook whoso sparkling wixtora gushed
and Burgled in the sunlight.
In thu front of his parental rcsidonco
were fonntnins , from which the crystal
water lonpod high in air , and in which
the young heir wns wont to bathe bcforo
bronkfast every morning.
While ho wns yet n babe ho evinced an
extraordinary fondness for water , and
would cry whenever ho caught sight of
the tiny bath-tub in which his nurse
bathed him.
Once in the tub ho would splash nml
kick with delight , but when lie was taken
out ho would howl until the dogs took up
the chorus and continued it with additi
onnl vehemence.
At school ho preferred books relating
to water.
When his teacher told him thnt the
earth was composed of about throe
fourths water and one-fourth land h <
lifted up his volco mid wept because
there was not more water.
Ho always road the Btory of Noah with
intense interest and was often heard to
say thnt ho wished ho had lived in those
delightful dnmp days.
lie fnirly doted on ducks , and oven in
the depth of winter ho would break holes
in the ice for the purpose of enabling the
festive fowls to enjoy their usual natator
lal pleasures.
During the hot summer weather ho
fnirly lived in the river -in fact ho be
came ao addicted to swimming thnt his
family physician feared ho would die of
water on the brain.
In the town wlioro ho spent his boy
hood ho was known an "Neptune , " on
account of his fondness for the water.
At the ago of twelve ho reached the
height of lua ambition by becoming the
driver of the village sprinkling cart.
It was while in the charge of this duty
that ho nearly submerged the town.
IIo subsequently joined the fire depart
niunt and was always one of the hardest
and most ofliciont workers at the
pumps.
lie preached against the earthquake
because of the first sylablo in the word
rumbling. lie denounced whisk brooms
because they reminded him of corn juice.
Ho had a similar objection to branding
irons. Ho would not fight because ho
would have to give and take a punch or a
smash.
After a few years he was appointed to
the position superintendent of the
water works from which the village re-
received its supply.
nis house was adorned with mottoes
of various descriptions , nil more or loss
relating to the subject which was nearest
and dearest to him.
In his dining-room over the mantel
was suspended the motto :
"Water is the best of nil thingo. "
On his Troll curb is the sign :
"Water tastes bettor out of a wooden
bucket than wlno out of a golden gob-
lot. "
_ Ho is fond of giving conundrums to
his fricndd , such as : ' '
"Why is a politician's tongue Hko a
brook ? " Then before they could an-
awor ho would reply :
"Because it runs without ceasing and
never wearies. "
Although ho has filled the gubernato
rial chair of u great western state , it
is believed that ho was never fully him
self.
self.Yet
Yet it is darkly rumored that his
chances of becoming president are to bo
blighted because ho has refused to settle
an old bar bill , which ho contracted some
time ago in a fit of absent-mindedness.
His particular pot is an enormous mus
tncho , which waves over his shoulders
liho a pair of susnondois.
Its natural color is red , but his enemies
solemnly state that he gives it the som
bre shade of a raven's wing.
If thnt bo true , lie is thu only candi
date who hna over dyed for his country
without shedding blood.
Ho is a good man , but his weight is
not known.
At present his campaign is conducted
without spirit.
The result is already an established

Tlio Temperance OauHC.
tfow Yoik Keening 1'out.
Tlio founder of the temperance move
ment in England , Mr. Joseph Livosoy ,
lied a few weeks ago at the ripe ago of
linoty-throo , after n life devoted , from
irat to last , to philanthropy in the largest
ind best sense of the word. Ho was ,
lowovor , in point of time , much behind
.ho advocates of temperance in this coun-
.ry , who first begun to show themselves
n Now England in the last quarter of
.ho last century , and have over siuco
ilaycd a part for which the history of the
oforrn in England oilers no parallel.
! ut it is to bo observed that few if any
> f tliu early temperance men hero
jronehed total abstinence , What they
lenounccd was thecoiiBumptionof distilled
ipirits. Toward the product of the brew-
> ry and the cider and wino prons they
vero long very tolerant. It is only with-
n our own time that every species of in
dicating drink has come under the ban ,
md that the great discussion which is
low carried on with metro or less furvor
n every civilized country over the elFocts
if alcohol on the human frame has begun
.o bo heard. The beer and wino drink ,
irs are no longer secure from attack.
L'lioy are now pursued by the prohibition-
sis with as much vigor as thu whisky
md wlno drinkers of sixty years ago
vero pursued by thu advocates of simple
.omperanco or morning abstinence.
This year wo are undoubtedly witness-
ng a more advanced stage of the war
igainst "tho liquor trallio" than over bo-
'ore , The prohibitionists have secured
.ho embodiment of their theory Into the
jonstitution of thu state of Alamo after a
prolonged experience of the working ot a
iimplo prohibitory iaw. They are not
yery far from a similar triumph in Iowa ,
Kansas , and in Ohio they are exerting a
powerful influence on thu politico of the
ituto. The ticket which they have put
in the national field thlu year , too , la
treated with an amount of respect never
before accorded to it , and really promises
In some states to affect seriously the for
tunes of the candidates of the two gren
parties. In n largo number of th
states , too , the anti-liquor sontimon
grows fltrongor and slroixjor , and th
disposition to resort to uoorcivo measure
against the drinker more decided. In aov
oral of the southern states , in which par
tiality for whisky hn perhaps booi
stronger than in any other part of th
world , localities are permitted to c.xor
ctso their option in the matter of permit
ting any drinking at all within thoi
limits ,
The disposition to legislate ngnina
linuor on the part of communities Is aftc
all , however , not so important as the
readiness on the part of individuals to
stop drinking , and about this the infer
inatlon wo possess is very imperfect.
There hna boon in England , as far as cat
bo ascertained from the revenue returns
a considerable falling ol ! ° in the consump
lion of spirits , but the sale of beer ap
pears to bo as great as ever , and that o
wino greater. In this countrv
the consumption of hot !
boor _ and spirits increases , ant
what is perhaps of more importance jusl
now than any oilier fact , there does mil
appopr to bo any fixed and certain con
nection between prohibition and con
sumption. Ill other words , as far as
can bo ascertained , drinking does not by
any means cease in states in which it Is
unlawful. In fact , in Maine It appears
to have boon very great in spite of the
law , although , doubtless , onli-jlquor leg
islation must always restrict drinking and
make it more or loss disreputable.
It Is still harder to decide how the dis
cussion stands on the question of the ef
fects of alcoholic drinks on health. It
never raged so fiercely as It does at this
moment , and the doctors never took so
prominent a part in it. A general agree
ment 1ms undoubtedly boon reached that
the consumption of alcoholic drinks to
excess is Injurious , and that it is always
uncertain whether a man who uses them
nt nil will not end by using them in ex
cess. But whnt is excess la still tin un
settled problem. The testimony of indi
viduals on this point is still infinite in its
variety , and so is the testimony of doc
tors. Nor is there as yet any
thing like a general agreement oven
among scientific men as to what
tlio precise effects of alcohol on the
human frame aro. The one thing about
alcohol which seems to be settled is that
It is the moot potent , direct cause , in our
time , among northern nations at least ,
of poverty , crime and disease. The mor
al question which this fact nt once starts ,
whether people who can drink in moder
ation are bound to give up drinking for
the sake of those who cannot drink in
moderation , or , in other words , how far
each man Is bound to regulate his own
lifo in thing , indifferent , for the sake of
setting an example to others , Is ono of
the questions , unfortunately ; on which
It is not possible to throw much light by
experiment. Nobody can toll what the
direct oflccts of his example nro. in
matters which are not wrong in
themselves , or only wrong in their possi
ble consequences , oven on his own chil
dren. No man can make sure that by
Qxcluding wino from his table ho Trill
save his sons from becoming drunkards ,
jr oven convince them that they cannot
drink with safety , Most of the drinking
in America is done in placesn : which no
body can sot a good example at nil , and
very little of it in places in which total
abstainers can exhibit their abstinence.
But it may bo assorted as absolutely cer
tain that throughout the civilized world
doubts no to the value of alcholio drinka
grow stronger , and so do the disposition
to put legislative restrictions
on their UBP , and the so
cial disrepute attending their use ,
except with ono'a meals , as an aid to di
gestion. By the end of the century wo
shall probably witness n very decided
change in the opinion of the civilized
world on the whole matter. On the Eu
ropean continent , where until very re
cently the temperance agitation was all
but incomprehensible , the growing use of
ardent spirits in place of beer and light
vrinos , has made a strong Impression on
statesmen and philanthropists. In both
Ftanco and Switzerland the reports on
this subject are alarming and indicate
the need of very decided restraints of
some kind , if on no other ground , out of
regard for the public health.
