I am told that it is becoming more and more fashionable for women to drink. 1 care not how a wo- man may dress, if she has taken enough of wine t,o- flush her cheek and put a glassineSs on her eye, she is intoxicated. She may be handed into a $2,500 carri- age andliave diamonds enough to con- found Tiffany's—she is intoxicated. She niay be a graduate of Packer ! insti- tute, and the daughter of some man in danger Of being nominated for the presi- dertcy—ishe is diunk. You may have a. largeri -vocabulary than. I have,and you ma,y say in regard to her that she is " convivial,' or she is "merry," or she is "festive" or she is "exhilarated," but you cannot with all your garlands of verbiage cover up the plain fact that it is the elcl-fashioried case of drunk. Now, 1he watering -places are full of temptat ons to men and women to tipale. At the close of the ten -pin or billiard game they tipple. At the close of the cotillion they tipple. Seated on the piazza, cooling themselves" off. they tipple. The tinged glasses come around, with bright etpraws, and they tipple. Firet they. take "light wines,' as they call them; but " light wines" are heavy enough to debase the appetite. There is nota. very long road between cham- pagne at $5 a bottle and whisky at five cents a glass. Satan has three or four grades doven which he takes men to dis- U-u.ction. One man he takes up, and through one spree, pitches him into eternal darkness. That is a rare case. Very seldom indeed, can you find. a man who will be such a fool as that. Satan will take another man to a, grade, to a descent at an angle about like that of the Penusylvania coal chute or the Mount Washington railway and, shove him off. But that is very rare. i V, hen a man oes down to destruction,. Satan` 'brings liirn to a platie,it is almost ales -el. The detiresssion is so slight that you can , hardly iee it. The man does not Actu- ally know that he is on the down grade, and it tips only- a little toward darknets —just a little ; and the first mile it is claret, and the second mile it is sherry, and the third mile it is remelt, and the fourth Mile it is ale, and the fifth Mile it is porter, and. the sixth mile it is brandtalland. then it gets steeper and steeper and steeper, and the masi gets frightened and says: " Oh, let me get off?" " No," says the conductor, ! "this is an exPress train, and it don't stop until it gets to the grand central depot at Smasimpton t" Oh, "look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth its color in the cup, when it moveth [itself aright. At the last it biteth Iike a sorpent and stingete. like an adde ." Ad if any young man of my cosi regal 'D. should get astray this summenin thi direction, it will not be because I havas not given him fair warn- ing.—Talmage,' . - HE HURON EXPOStTOR. . . Concerning Copper. Copper -Was never so cheap as now. The pre -Sent price is about thirteen cents a pound. The old price, a few years ago, waS eighteen to twenty cents, and during the war it went up to fiftycents. Curiously enough, as the price of copper has gene down, the uses for it haVe in- creased, and hundreds of things are now made of copper that were formerly made • of cheaper metals, or not made at all. Who $s not noticed the sudden in- crease f articles made of brass, the beautift 1 plaques on which the ladies paint, the tons of chandeliers., gas fixtures frames and thousands of other things - II resulting from cheap copper, for brass is two-thirds copper and one- third spelter or zinc? "How do you account for all this ?" was asked of a Pearl street manufactur- er. ; " I do not knekv exactly how to ac- count for it" he said " but it is a fact. Here is a copper tea-kettle,such as I used to pay $2,25 to $2,50 to import. I can now sell it for seventy-five cents and ina,ke aetprofit. The home ma,unfacture has increased enormously. Thousands of workingmen are employed who are new at the business. Processes of manu- facture have improved. - W -e -are learn- ing hoW to make things to better ad- vantage. We can expert instead of im- port. 1 de not think the tariff has had inueli to do with it. Here are seamless edge, &angled copper tea -kettles, extra heavy, spun from the bottom up to the breaat, making a body of great strength. Thell them to the trade at $27 a dozen. It was not long ago that one of them— indeed., one net so good as one of these —svorild cost almost the -price of a dozen. For a few cents more we sell them niekle plated. They are used as ornaanents for parlor stoves sometimes. Here are urns, tumbler warmers, cuspi- dors, jewelry boxes, brass mats, um- brella stands, hat ranks, stovepipe - collars stove legs, stove platforms, and lots oethiegs that could not have been made a, few years ago, owing to the high price of copper. Now they are becoin- ing articles of every -day use." In another Pearl street store were more than sixty varieties of brass plaques int - Rating hammered work, at price S vary- ing from $1.80 a dozen to $26 al dozen. This iS comparatively a new business. In another store were copper bath tubs of half a deem patterns, basins, cloSet pause - boilers, pipes and copper balls for water tanks. Walking up Fulten street among the wire stores, there were cop- per 4nd brass cages, wire cleth and other nopper utensils sparkling in the " How do 3-ini account for the boom. in the copper and brass business?" " Easy enough; we can buy cheaper." " What makes it cheaper?" , " The coming in of Arizona and other western copper to compete with Lake Superior copper. The price has kept goin,...,ie down, but the demand for copper has kept pace with it. New uses are made for it every day. Formerly the lake -Copper people had it all their Own way: 'if hey would calmly annoUnce the price, of copper for the year, and all we would have to do would be to pay it. But now it is quite different. The Ari- zona copper is not quite so good, but it answers just as well for many purposes, and keeps the price down. The lake ctk.r is about half a cent to a ce t , - . - and at the office of the company on Cliff i Street a thousand copper and brass products may be seen, from the crude copper in ingots to the delicate , chande- liers and lamps that imitate, if not ex- cel, . the fmest French importations. There are tons upon tons of copper and brass in sheets, ready to be sold to man- ufacturers. There are copper and. brass nails, and tacks, and weights, ,gongs, rods, wash basins, wire cloth, ' printers' rules, about sixty varieties of sheet brass, and asi many varieties of wire, sheathing, bolts, rivits, kettles, seam- less brass and copper tubing, boiler flues, ferules gas fixtures, chandeliers and a thousand knick-knacks. " rhe ra,piiii progress of electrical in- ventions has required an immense con- sumption of brass and copper for electri- cal machinery. It has been found out that copper wire has Many qualities that make it desirable . for telegraph, lightning aud telephone, lines, for which, during the high price of copper, it could not be used„1 Now the copper wire trade is enorrimus and constantly grow- ing, and the varieties manufactured are many and curious. Tons upon tons of the varieties of wires are kept in stock, though only a short time ago such a thing was unknown in the trade. Im- mense quantities of brass and copper are used in house hardware, water fix- tures, railroad Supplies, docks and fancy goods, whereother and cheaper metals were formerly made to do, all owing to the marvelously low price of copper. . . Some Anecdotes of General Gordon. THE SHRIMP BOAT BOYS: Gordon's class in the ragged school at Gravesend c nsisted of upwards of a dozen lads, s me of whons he had him- self ferreted out and brought to the school. Their parents N'eve mostly of no occupation, or in some 'way served the boats on the river. Not a few of the lads were e ployed on shrimp boats. They were th very rourghest and poor- est in the c rnmuni y,lbut it was re- markable hoiiv entiee was the control their teacher had over thei. Not only did he teach the lads Sunday evenings, he his own hous feeding and ' five of the po every struct" rest a at t had day g th d m e- school on them also at n the week, m. Four or st miserable he kept in hi home altogether, feeding and .clothing them. They employed their time in the garden, in chopping wood, and ninnitag errands. Three or four of them had scarlet fever while in his house,' and during their illness he would sit with them far into the night talking to thein and soothing them until they fell asleep. . THE BANNERS FROM CHINA. How Gordon's medal w s defaced by him and sent as a contribution to the distressed spinners in Lancashire during the cotton fatnine is well known; but few persons, probably, beyond a small circle of teachers, in the Gravesend ragged school, know what became of the banners which he brought from China. If they were not so precious they would probably noW be hanging Upon the -bare wall which they were meant to decorate. It was in the january of 1868 that Gordon, at his own request,was elected a teacher in this school; and from that date down to the end of'1871, when he left the gar- rison, he wah most regular in his at- tendance evety Sunday evening. When official duty Made it impossible for him to attend himself, he never failed. either to send a substitute or a note to the superintendent asking him to get a supply. THE HERO IN l'HE GALLERY. When Gordon went to Gravesend while superintending the fortifications on the Thames below that town, he used to take his place in the gallery of the parish churdh, among the poor. No- body in the town knew anything, about his history, and he was allowed to keep th to this place in e gallery until by-and- by it began to leak out that he was no other than the leader of the ever -vic- torious army" in China. Then the churchwardens appreached the stranger and graciously asked him to come- down and occupy a _place in the luxurious ,seats in the area appointed for the grandees. Gordon thanked therm but declined, preferring to keep the seat in which he had so long sat unnoticed and unknown. He spent five or six years in Gravesend., and these,by his own con- fession, were among the happiest of his - life. e dearer, but the monopoly has gone. The old high tariff on copper, from which fortunes were made, is no longer of aHS-1-aCCOrtilt. We not only take no account Of foreign copper, but we are , now exporting -.31enty of it and lenty of manufactured. goods." There is a very considerable village at Ansonia., Ct., that has grown out of the factions were formed and feuds engen- manufacturea of brass and copper. The dered. Because the young became loose plac:o i named after ,tinson G. Phelps, d ia their morals and apt scholars at the feet of free -love advocates and other cranks.Because when dissensions arose new towns were laid out, and the old one going into decay. Because hundreds of families, rather than submit to the intolerance of the founder of the town, or that of other self-appointed leaders, moved away, and because, owing to the general bad reputation of the place, the people of the surrounding country avoided it as they would a plague spot. There are 'Inman weaknesses, to be found in Christian as well as infidel communities,butthe difference between the two is this : 1 Christian ncommuni- ties an effort is made, and successfully so in thousands of cascs, to overcome the evils complaine of, -while in the town of Liberal, wh re Bob Ingersoll's moonliglit.and molasses doctrine was up- held,the results in that line are nothing. Col. Ingersoll raves ,at common human weaknesses, indorsed by no creed and taught by no faith. He demolishes men of straw. His performances may be worth the money paid for them,judg- ed merely as exhibitions of what a gift- ed man can do with language, but as in- tellectual treats they are so unsubstan- tial aa to be dear at any price.—Chicago Herald. Fruits of Ingersolism. That eloquent and in some sense amusing demolisher of creeds and panegyrist ef an indefinite system of true goodneLs, Col, Bob Ingersoll makes a good shoW' and plenty of people who have few drno religious convictions hear him for the fun of the thing—for the amusement to be had from his wit and humor. Such of his hearers as do any thinking for themselves may know that a funnY man is never so uproari- ously funny as when he is making light of things deemed sacred by others. It is , a cheap, wit and a coarse 'hum& which deliberately selects these topics for ridicul and it was a dull intellect which finds: amusement in ribaldry. As speeeh is free, and as among sixty mil- lions of people there are bound to be many who -Will find recreation in things which to others would be distasteful, it is not surPrising that when Ingersoll lectures he draws a crowd, or that under such circumstances he continues to lecture. The people who hear him net about a dollar apiece. Stripped of all his raillery fustian and rha,pSodical elo- quence, the gospel which he preaches is to be happir, lovely, generous and land, and, similarly reduced to plain English, his idea abutreligion is that it "lives on the unPaid labor of other, ensla,ves the body, lonilds dungeons for the soul, pollutes the imacrinatien of children ap- peals from reason to brute force, and persecutes for efsinion'e sake. That these last mentidned things are not of religion, and that they are to be found !There there i no religion, is proved by the condition of affairs ine the town of Liberal, Mo., a community after Inger- soll's own heart. Thi. town was found- ed as an infidel settlement and was Widely advertised as such. Many -of Ingersoll's followers went there, bought land and settled. For a time it appear- ed to flourish. for it had "n� God and no hell," but in the course of five years it had become a failure of a town and a total wreck as an experiment in sociology. Why? because the .founder of this God forsaken hole turned out to be a sehrewd spemilator who had land to sell, and who sold it. Because Catarrhi—a New Treatment. perhaps the most extraordinary success that hatbeen achieved in modern medicine has been att ined by the Dixon Treatinent for Catarrh. Oui of 2,000 patients treated during the past six months, fully ninety per cent, have been cured of this stubborn malady. This is none the less startling when it is remembered that no five per cent. of patients "presenting themselves to the regular practitioner are benefitted, while the patent medicines and other advertised cures never record a cure - at "all. Starting with the claim now generally believed by the most scien- title men that the disease is due to the presence of living parasites in the tissue, • Mr. Dixon at one adapted his cure to their extermination— ehte accomplished; he claims the Catarrh is prae-. tic4Ily cured, and the permanency is unquestion- td, as cures effected by him four years ago are cu es still. No one else has ever attempted to cure Catarrh in this manner, and no other treat ment has ever cured Catarrh. The application of the remedy.is simple, and can be done at home, and the present season of the year is the most favorable for a speedy and permanent cure, the majority of eases being cured at one treat- met.Sufferers should correspond With Messrs.
