' TUE OPirn HABIl."
Scrmcn by Rct. John A. Cray ra (he
Subject -seme lsronUninj
ReTcUUoni.
The pastor of the Baptist church
last niht nreadie i u sermon to a
crowdeil house on "The Opium Hab
it," say the Pmlland Telegram,
The following i but a brief outline
of the address.
Attrr some general statements in
regard to the growth of opium, the
speaker dwelt on the prevalence of
the habit. Some of the best minds'
of Christendom were almost totally
wrecked by it in the beginning of
this century. The history of Coler
idge and DtQnincy are familiar.
Wm. Biair, one of the ripest scholars
of ll e church, Richard Baxter, au
thor of " The Saint's Res'," Robt.
Hull, the eloquent divine, Wm. Wil
berfocre, and John Randolph, of
Koaooke, were all victims.
Smoking is a habit but recently in
troduced. The first while smoker in
America is said to haye been a sport-ii-g
man by the name of Clendi iiyn.
Tbis was in California in 18G8. It
was three years before he induced
another to try it. Then the practice
spread quietly and rapidly among
gamblers and prostitutes. I, first
came to the notice the police authori
ties ot San Francisco in 1875. An
ordinanc-e was passed against ii; but in
spite of this the practice grew stead
ily, and although the large smoking
houses were closed the small dens in
Chinatown were well patronized. It
soon began to spread to other towns.
In 1876 smoking dens were establish
ed in Chicago, St. Louis and New
Oil-, ans and a few months later in
New York city. To day in that city
ihcrenre many dens and over 300
habitus! smokers. The residents of
Hot Springs, Arkansas, have taken !
irieasnies to suppress it. Persons
addicted to the habit say that now
"layouts" can be found in almost all
the smaller towns on the lines ot
travel in the United States. Police
ti&cir James Mahrtftey ot San Fran
cisco dftyj that the habit in past
years, so far a the wiiV.es .are con
cerned, was conGned to hoodnims I
and prostitutes, but now there art
scores of places where the habit can
be contracted q clean rooms and re
spectable portions ot the city. The
extended up practice will gradually
the social scale. School boys and
clerks are already finding out the
respectable places and learning the
iiftbit. If the practice is rapidly
spreading there would be a corres
ponding increase in importation.
This is easy determined, as the flunk
ing opium is subject to a heavy duty
of $6 per pound, while ordinary
opium is taxed only one dollar. The
statistics of the treasury department
show that in 1S80 there was an ad
vance over 1879 in the amount im
ported of 1 7,000 pounds. The whole
amount imported in 1SS0 was some
thing orer 75,000 pounds. It is es
timated that there are over 0000
white habitual sm kersin the United
States. That is doubtless not a lull
estimate. Our people have btlle
idea of the rapid spread of t his habit,
and are not awake to the peril it in
volves. During the crusade temper
ance exci'ement here, our citizens
were thrilled with horror to know
that there were 65 pun'ic drink
ing places in th city of Portland.
To-day there are 140 opium dens in
this city. One hundred public places
and some forty more private, 'Be
sides the opium is smoked in many
private houses.
We may learn some lessons from
the spread of the habit in China.
Since 1820, when the English gov
ernment compelled the Chinese to
legalize the trafflc, tho habit has
spread so rapidly that it is estimated
that there are fifteen million smokers
who consume 700 tons annually.
Tne Chinese do not take readily to
stimulants and have great sell con
trot If the habit spread so rapidly
among tjjat race, what may we not
fear in our land with our excitable
and nervous temperments and tcn
der.cy to stimulants?
The speaker then gava many
points showing the effects of th
habit. It has to be learned. The
system recojls from it at first, but

almost immediately it becomes fas
cinating. Its effects npon the mind
is disastrous. It destroys the cap
acity for continued mental effort and
weakens the a ill power. Is follow
ed by loss of memory. Enshrouds
the mind with gloom and fear- of
impending evil. Its associations are
of the vilest character. After the
habit is formed ift viulirns do not
wish to smoke .in private, vr- private
apartments, and consort in dens and
dives with the lowest and vilest peo
ple. It inenrs other diseases, and
many instances have transpired
where syphilis is transmitted from
mouth to mouth by the opium pip.
It i- l.ard to abandon. Records of
the struggle of victims to escape are
heartrending. Coleridge said, "after
my death I earnestly entreat that a
full ami unquattftet) narrative ot my
wretchedness and of its guilty cause
may be made public, that at least
some little'good iray be affected by
the direful example." Tho speaker
cited other experiences, both, in
smoking and eating
The- speaker sa d that now is the
time to stop it. The business is now
confined to a few Chinese lyouses.
After capital shall be invested be ,
hind it as in the liquor traffic it will
be hard to eradicate it. In regard
to the ways and means of suppress
ing this vice, if public sentiment
were aroused there would be found
ways lo find it and dispose of it. If
it was physical peril coming from
smallpox every case would be- fcr
reted out, from the darkest cellar or
remotest garret. If people were
aroused to the peril of this hit'iji and
all citizens unite in the demand tor
its suppression, it could be accom
plished, . .

A Burlington man recently
wedded a young wife. The lady be
came enthused over Will Carlclon's
tale of the elopement of a handsome
young woman with a "hansomer
mill,," and determined to try the
same thing herwelf. She wrote a neat
little note, stating that she had left
home with a gentlemen wln-m. six
had dearly loved before she had met
her husband, and that he peed not
trouble himself to l'ok tbv them.
Then he called in her younger
brother and went calling with him,,
arranging to return and hide where
she could witness her liege lord's dis
may when he came to read of her
flight. She from her place of con
cea'ment saw him look all around in
surprise at her alienee, and finally
siiw him discover the note. He open
ed and read it, while her heart heat
high with excitement in anticipation
of the breaking out she expected to
hear.
The poor fellow finished the cruel
mikivc, tore it. '-p and threw the frag
mints on the floor, and then, without
a moment's warning, drew a revolver
and fired point blank at his breast,
and fell without a sign of life to the
carpet. With a le'rriSed scream, the
woman was at her husband's side in
a moment, lilting liis head, rolling
him, shaking him, tinning him and
looking for blood, all the time shriek
ing to hi r Willi::m to speak to her, 'o
fmgive, to only look at her, Wil
liatp lay motionless,- however, and
ihe neighborhood, aroused by theshot
and the screams, came flocking in to
learn of the excitement, when sud
denly, when a score or more hail
gathered, the dead leaped up from
the floor as well as ever, at which
the wife fainted away. She soon re
vived, however, and then it all came
out that the younger brother, being
in sympathy with William, had let
him into tho scheme, and he had
chosen that mode of punishing his
joking W'fc. She jokes no more, but
her husband has compromised on a
pony pbfeton to keep peace in the
family. IfawJceye.

TEXSESSEE; BEPI'BLICIXS,
PhilaJoIvhia American,
It if now fair to observe that lhl
Republicans of Tennessee have
placed themselves on what appears
at this distautw- to be absolutely safa
and permanent ground, with ret'er-
ence to the debt of that State. Tho
decision of the Supremo Court
against the constitutionality of the act
passed by the Legisla! ure funding t hn
debt in one hundred-year bonds, at 3
per cent, has thrown tho whole qnesi
lion open onco more, and whil the
Democrats are divided into two par
ties, who may concisely be classed as
payers and rcpudiators, the Republi
cans are united in support of the
State's credit, and demand the hold-,
'ing ot a constitutional coijv .-ntion,
which will he able to deal v'ith the
subject in such a manner as to avoid
the legal difficulties raised by the Su
premo Court, The question of a con
vention will be voted on in Auguat
next, and the Republicans are KOn
guiue inHlfi Iroue that enouiih of tho
State credit Democrats will J-"' n them
in snppnrting it to give a majority. It
is gratifying to see the Republican
Hag carried thus high in a part of the
South, at least, wilh no stain of repu-
iliation up-m its folds.

days afterward, looking into tho pest
she was surprised to find tho hen mis
sing ard the eggs gone, and in their
stead a huge rattlesnake comfortably
coiled up. Noticing the swelled com
dilion of his suakeship, she procincd,
a spade and pinned his head to tho
ground, Then, with a rake the tail
was drawn out and fastened down to
prevent wiggling, A penknife soon
split the reptile from head to tail, and
i he eggs were taken out, 'Being care
fully washed, they were placed Under
