comet, front four hundred couviets
in the Ashville State prisou there.
Of their own 'notion they have
signed• au appeal to the people of
messes to favor the prohibitory
amendment. Their closing words
are : ' Wearing the garb of disgrace,
being dishonu:rd and counted un-
worthy to mill,t° with the people of 1
our Stage, we yet have the same
love for our wives, the same devo-
tigiete our mothers, the same affect-
tillrfor our sisters, and for their
sake, and for the sake of our chil-
dren, we appeal to fou to unite as
one man, and free the State of a
curse created by the hands of men,
discountenanced by the law of God.'
The Advance comments thus upon
the recent parade of liquor dealers
at New York : ' That would have
been a capitally significant display
if only inplace of the carriages there
had been a thousand hearses, with a
liquor dealer atop of each as driver.'
General Fisk says that those
speakers who say that prohibition
cannot be enforced should have stood
, on Mount Sinai when Moses emerg-
ed from the cloud with the two
tables of stone, and said : ' Take/all
this .Decliogue away, and tell God
it will not prohibit ; let us hare
nothing prohibitory ; it is demoral•
izing.'
It has been mitten in the richest
and reddest American blood : A
question is never settled until it is
settled right. •
If a man's dog has hydrophobia,
the Government has just as much
right to _stick a stamp on his nose,
and turn him loose to bite and kill,
as it has to license the whisky traf-
fic, which both kills the body and
damns the soul,
King Sol is a great temperance
fanatic, and tho way he strikes down
the topers and beer guzzlers on hot
days is an invasion of ' personal lib.

hihitionist would not tolerate.
- ` We do not claim that every
criminal act was perpetrated under
the influence of whisky, but we fear-
lessly assert that three-fourths con-
fined within these walls can trace
their downfall directly or indirectly
to that cause.'—Petition in behalf
of prohibition by 401 inmates of the
Tennessee State Prison, July 1887.
The Supreme Court of Foresters
resolved against receiving into mem-
bershi bar -tenders, saloonkeepers,
- and l -keepers who sell liquor,in
their houses.
__ Theloledo Blade says : ' The
rum power must be pnlveriied, that
the steady march of debaucher:,
ruin and murder shall bo stopped.:
Don't put prohibition in vonr
prayers and whisky in your ballot.
The. vested 'rights c£ ruin are vest-
ed wrongs.
The liquor traffic has a murderous
grip on the Canadian home.
The party who dares to fight the
Saloon has the future in its grasp.
If moral suasion is right, legal
suasion is inevitable.
An evil should be killed and not
regulated. . . . _ ,
The liquor traffic is organized to
boycott its way to power:
Criminal is that ' indnstry' which
reduces women and children te• bone
and soup diet.
If the Christian Church of the
country were as united against the
liquor traffic as the traffic is against
the churches, it could be suppressed
in two years.
The Christian WW1 whose oppo-
sition to the rampant evils of the
times is so feeble as to elicit no op-
• position to himself may well ask
himself whether he is doing, his
whole duty. The unscatn'ed soldier
• of Jesus Christ lacks one feature of
likeness to hint in whose hands and
tett were the prints of the nails.

THEY ALL DRINK.
It is well known that at eert;tin
Central agencies a record is kept of
the name, position and standing of
nearly every business man in the
country, Careful Hien are employed
to collect this information ; and it
not only includes the amount of pro-
perty which the parties are -worth,
but also their standing as regards
punctuality, promptness, integrity, isfac
temperance, morals, etc. A 001- re,e•
her of years ago, it is stated, a firm �"
of four men in Boston were rated as
'A L' They were rich, prosperous,
young and prompt. One of them
had the curiosity to see how they
were rated, and found these facts on
the book and was satisfied ; but at
the end it was written, ' but they

good joke at the time ; but to -day
two are dead, another is a drunkard,
and tbi fourth is poor ant living

POUND A FORTUNE,
ARKON, 0., Oet, 2. --Washington
Richard and Willia.m,Snyder yester-
day while chopping .trees at New
Portage opened a log in which they
discovered two shot bags full of gold
and silver coin, besides a roll 'of
bills containing not less than $5,,000.
The bills were badly moulded. The
men at -first, kept quiet about their
treasure trove which amounts to
fully ..$10,000, but were so happy
over their sudden fortune that they
went to town and bought grand suits
of clothes throughout and then re-
turning to New Portage,a coal min-
ing and manufacturing village, and
set up drinks until the population
of the place was drunk almost to a
Man.
The source of the money becom-
ing known, older citizens recalled
the fact that; about fifteen years ago
Jacob Trackbach, a miser, died at
that place. He was supposed to ,be
wealthy, having done a big business
in land speculation. After' his
death his house and land were turn-
ed over to find his cash,but all witti-
est avail. It is now claimed that
this tree had been the miser's trea-
sury. The tree was cat down to-
day, and about six feet from the
'ground a good-sized hole was found
' which gave evidence of a plug hav-
ing rotted in it. The silver dollars
rolled out when the log was opened,
and the, treasure which had' for
years been searched fe,- was laid be-
fore the eyes of poor and now al,'.
most crazy men.
DEFYING A PRINCE.
During the lite manoeuvers of
the cavalry in Prussia, territory to
be used was marked off Icy poles
flying a bunch of straw. Prince
`William considered one of these
poles much in the way of a regi-
ment, and perceiving a peasant
standing by the pale for -the appar-
ent purpose of protecting the field,
he role up• to him demanding the
removal of the. objectionable, pole.
'No,' said the peasant, ' it will not
be removed.' Tho Prince rode away
and sent an -adjutant to repeat the
order more percmtorily. Brit the
'peasant returned the same answer.
' You do not seen to know who the
officer is that spoke to you first,'
said the adjutant. Tbe,1easant ac-,
kinowledged his ignoranee. 'It was
His Imperial Highness Prince
William,' said the_o%}cer, not for a
moment doubtful of the efficacy of
4)is communication. The peasant
turned toward the Prince, who• was
at a small distance froth them, re-
moved his cap,nlade a most respect.
ful and deep bow, and said, ' Your
devoted servant wishes you a good
morning, but that pole,sir, I cannot
allow to be removed,' and it was
done as the peasant' wished.

back upon the perpendicular sword.
Then the two fishes tackled each
other, dashing the water to a great
height in their fury. Presently the
block -fish was, seen to leap again.
Its stomach was ripped open and its
entrails hung, down several feet.
The sword -fish, which had got in its

victim. When the black -fish again
fell into the water the sword -fish
caught him and carried him o$,leav-
