Either an entire suspension of business for a time or a reduction of wages must bo adopted. If the former method is decided on largo numbers of men will be thrown entirely out of work; if tho latter, a strike is likely to follow. To accept either horn of the dilemma will bring distress and want upon largo numbers of tho workmen. Tim situation is very perplexing and does not as yet offer any hopeful mothod of solution. It would undoubtedly declining. A type of a Southern duellist was young Orrin Bird, every member of whose family had the reputation of having killed "his man" and died " with his boots on." Bird would never have struck the average observer as a dangerous or determined man. The son of a Carolina preacher, he had been horouglily educated and was reiiued and gentlemanly in his manners. He was a great ladies' man, much admired and petted by the young belles of New Orleans, and with his delicate complexion, graceful figure, aud faultless costume gave one the impression of being somewhat effeminate. He was never disputatious, quarrelsome, or boastful, always sober, and extremely courteous to every one, ijnd while he never sought a duel he never shirked one, and always seemed blessed with success upon the field. One of his first affairs was with Colonel Richard Hagan, whose utterly fearless character had been demonstrated in half a dozen "affairs." In one of these, at Natchez, Miss., he had received a wound which ninety times out of a hundred would prove fatal, his carotid artery being severed by tlio ball of his antagonist His life was saved by his surgeon, Dr. Stone, and he recovered to fight a second time the man who had so seriously wounded him, and this time to kill him. But, my brethren, if the Lord Jesus in whom we believe as our Saviour is God of God, if the Hi bio is God's Volume of Truth for our guidance, if the Church is God's Institution for the renewal of our Binful nature, then arguments which, avowedly or practically, deny these articles of our creed are irreverent, blasphemous, ruinous. We do not help the cause of temperance when urging men to total abstinence for their own sake, or for tho sake of others, wo firBt invite them to becorao inlidels—deniers of tho faith once, for all time, delivered.

POTTER PALMER'S TROTTERS. Speaking of horses reminds me of a story I heard lately of Potter Palmer, the Chicago millionaire. Palmer is a native of Greene Co., N.

In the FAR ABOVE THE CLOUDS. What the Pilgrim to Pike's Peak See»-A Piko's Peak Letter in the New York Post. Wonderful Electric Storm, curlier days of our Government Congressional or Legislative caucuses wore accepted as expressions of the popular will. Jelferson was twice nominated for President by a mere handful of men in n Congressional caucus. Madison and Monroe were nominated in tho sanio way. Jackson and Adams and Clay were put iu nomination by tlio State Legislatures. Some of tho party platforms of those years aro full of protests against caucus and Congressional dictation. The opposition of tho people linaliy became so strong that nominating candidates by Congressional and Legislative caucuses was abondoned.

A rush of blood to the head, causing lightness and headache, and oxtreme nervousness are tho most common sensations experienced by tourists, From both of these disorders the register suitors. The sentiments vary from the sublimest utterances of the Holy Scriptures and Milton to the commonest kind of Western slang. Page after pago brings together such as these: " Glory to God in the Highest," and, "Well, I've climbed Pike's Peak, and I'll noverdo it again, you bet;" "Let all Thy works praiso Thee, 0 God," and " I am seventy six years old and have cluin up 14,147 foet; how is that for One day tlio family lind jnst returned from a short drive nud tho team was hitched outside iu tho road, tho groom having gone to tho stablo for a moment. Aiken, at the window, saw his opportunity. lie came out, jumped into the elegant $1,200 wagon, and coflttleutly grasped the reins. The finely-trained animals immediately responded, and off tlioy started down the road at a rattling gait. Aiken wasn't used to such accelerated motion, and began pulling; but tho moro he pulled tho quicker they flew.

Iu a moment more crash 1 went the vehicle against a high bank of earth, throwing Aiken out, uninjured, but smashing the carriage to flinders. The horses stopped as if by electricity, and were luckily without a scratch. A few minutes later Potter, who had observed his brother's wild freak and had followed with the groom ou horseback, rodo up. He looked an iustaut at the wreck, rubbed his chin, and, turning to his crestfallen brother, slowly in- The meeting between Bird and Hagan, which occurred ou the Mexican Gulf ltailroad, was awaited with intense interest by everyone, as it was well known that both parties wero good shots. To make the affair sure, the two principals were posted in the centre of tho track, thus affording thein a much better aim. Both combatants, as was expected, made lino shots. Hagau's ball passed through Bird's leg, inflicting an unpleasant but not a serious wound, while Hagau's femoral artery was cut, a wound generally deemed mortal. Fortunately for him, he had the same physician as at the Natchez duel, and his life was again saved. But he was never the same man, and when he again appeared iu the world, after months of nursiug, it was on crutches, crippled for life, but still the same bravo spirited, popular gentleman he had always been. It should be stated, by the way, that this duel was fought ou the very eve of Bird's marriage.— New Orleans Cwrexpo rule lit Philadelphia For me. it is net the voici of the fickle multitude which is tho voice of God.

It is very commonly assorted that the wines mentioned in Scripture, as allowed, wera not fermented. Devout thinkers in this way have oxplainod the Lord's miracle at the Wedding Feast, and also His sacramental use of the cup A missionary of ability, who lately returned to this country from Turkey, gives it as his firm licliiif that "there never was a wine that was not intoxicating, known in Palestine," and ho bases his belief on "the present usage! of the Fast, which," he says, "throw a great light upon the past." I shall not take time to discuss this, for two thiags are beyond denial: (1). In St. Paul's timo there was a great deal of drunkenness, in all the world which he knew, in the land of the. Jews and in all the lands of the Gentiles; and, (2), the wine of which this Apostle speaks in his command to tho Kphesians, was wine which had in it "oxcess," i. e., debauchery, riot Many who have strong lungs remain purposely all night to witness the electric and stellar sights, which aro sometimes vory fine. One night last summer an electric storm came on. which, from the description given luc by Officer Leitzell, must have been very grand. For two days previously thunder storms had been rolling among the mountains, and then for over two hours everything was tipped and covered with electricity. Spanish pack-mules, loft on the summit for the night, appeared to bo all o» Are; tho clothes of the men seemed abla. .'-; electricity streamed from tho tips of the fingers, from the nose and from tho hair.

So I have tried to preach Him, and to preach Mis Church, assured that only belief in Ilis atonement, and reception of llis example and of Hii means of help, can deliver from the sin of drunkenness, and from every other sin. I am folly convinced that lime has not changed the truth of God into a lie nor into a blunder.

'•This party machinery and these political conventions, however, havo boon uncontrolled by law; a-id tho question is whether wo are now entering upon a third epoch, whan the people will demand that tho primaries shall be regulated and controlled by law as well as the elections themselves.

They have only one moaning for ft good word which is " cxceoding broad " in its signillcanc—tho meaning of total abstinence from all intoxicating drinks. Yet this is a definition which is not found either in the Bible or in the dictionary. In tho Bible, temperance is selfrestraint. It is continence. It is moderation —not in one thing, but iu all things: "He that strivotli for the mastery is temperate in all things.'' This is the very definition Webster gives. In the dictionary, as in the Bible, temperance is moderation, self-restraint. Webster makes no reference whatever to our popular misuse of this good word. In my judgment, it is a narrow mind which understands by this fruit of the Spirit only total abstinence from strong driuk. NEW ENGLAND SUPERSTITIONS. that curve ?" The Apostle's manner of speaking abeut drunkenness is startling to many, and puzzling to every narrow mind. Ho declares that wine has in it excess, and yet lie does not prohibit its use. He does sot condemn it, but he condemns its excess.. And this is dona by a very strange antithesis. The sensual life is placed opposite the spiritual—earthly debauchery, excess of wine, opposite the tho heavenly experience 'filled with the Spirit' There is not a word from Him to reveal to us that total abstinence is the duty of every Christian. His command is, "Be not drunk with wine.' At the same time there is the warning, 'Wherein is excess.' Plainly it is tho debauchery of soul and of body which He sternly prohibits—which Ho condemns. His remedy for drunkenness is the Spirit of God. 'Be filled with tho Spirit'—or, as he gives his meaning in auother epistle,' Walk in the Spirit and ye shall not fulfill the lusts of thefiesh."

Ono day last week I took a flying trip to Fort Leo, where, seated on tho hotel piazza, I amused myself by studying the people seated about me, most of them regular boarders at the hotel, who were plying their fingers over various kinds of fancy work. There is always one kind which is tho rage for the Summer. Last Summer the preference was given to serpentine braid "ric-rac" work, consequently every other woman you met had her musliu gown elaborately decorated with this showy trimming. This year the rage is for the " Oscar crazy quilt." Ou a pioce of cambric half a yard square there is basted in the centre a sunflower made of either yellow broadcloth, silk, or velvet, or a lily, a daisy, or pansy of one of the same materials. The square is then tilled iu with bits of silk aud velvet of all colors, arranged heltor-skelter, a sort of artistic confusion of colors. Tho bits are of irregular pattern, just as your friends give them to you—squares, triangles, circles, jags and tags; Aftci basting these on, the edges are neatly turned in, and the piece is sewed down firmly with a chain Btitch of old gold, alternating with cardinal sewing silk. When tho cambric squares are completely filled out, aud enough of them have been made for a bed quilt or sofa comforter, they are joined together with narrow black velvet ribbon, which is ornamented with chain and herring-bone stitches shaded silk floss, to suit the artistio tasto of the worker.

But no prohibitionist has yet told us how prohibitory laws aro to be en forced. Must wo have an army specially enlisted to compel men to obey them ? Human history witnesses that force never yet brought about righteousness. Very often it has suggested and strengthened revolution. Will popular sentiment enforce obedience? The multitude with whom we have to do is vory tickle. The people who cry out, "Hosanna," are now, as in Christ's time, easily moved to change their cry to "Crucify." If St. Paul's testimony be true, then it ii uot true that we can get rid of all sin by getting rid of one sin. The gambler, whose god is tho hyona-spirit in him, is said to keep his head, and his hand steady, either by abstaining entirely from strong drink or else by using it very moderately. There are many—as we all know—who yield to sinful affections though they detest the drunkard's glass. " Do filled with the Spirit This was St. Paul's remedy forj drunkenness—for intemperauco.
