Intoxication.
Another. 'temptation hovering all
around Our watering -places is to intox-
icating beverage. 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,' . -

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

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.
