Down With Alrliohol.
All over the laud the cry is "Down with
Alcohol I" The movement, though silent, or
measurably so, and almost impereeptble.is world-
wido It sweeps over the land as gently as a
summer broeee, but with the power of the si
moon of the desert. We say inebriates, dram-
drinkers, stand from under I Our laud must bo
freed from the influence of the rum-demon.
Politically we can curtail his inflnonoe by the
elevation of aober niea to places of trust and
honrr ; let the shaping of onr laws be not in
fluenced by the whiskey interest ; lot na stand
shoulder to shoulder for P.igbt, for Truth and
Dunbar, antil we have a representative in Con
gress whom it will be an honor to acknowledge.

The nam? of the mau who committed suicide
ot Albany still remains a mystery. It was fin

dead man, Sam Laughary, is here, and yester
day sold his coat for wHisky and says the doctors
are welcome to his carcass when he does die,
and nejd uot fool any une by putting a bog of

Au iJa-aut Work.
Oue of the most useful volumes that was ever
laid upon the counting room desk or the draw
ing room table, is Hill's Manual of Social aud
Business Forms. Scanning the table of con
tents, it is impossible to conceive how so much
can have been crowded into the confines of a
single book ; but turning over the pages one by
one, observing the fruit they bear, the method
of its arrangement, its variety and complete
ness, incredulity is succeeded by astonishment
and aduiiratiou. The work ia a marvel of inge
nuity and industry, a prodigy of patient and
skillful labor. Mr. J. W. Strong, General Agent
for tho Publishors, will canvass our city for
the above wurk the comiug week.

ADDRESS OF THE rBESIUENT.
The literary society will soon come to a close,
Not for the want of wit, talent or humor as
some may suppose ;
Not genius is a natural production of our town.
Though this fact has not generally been noised

Our ladies for

Of their wonderful achievements we
boast,

They can sit on a Jnry and cause a great sinner
To tremble in bis boots, as they did old "Zeke
Skimmer,"
For recitations and essays I'm sure you will
say,
You've not met their equal for many a day.
And then te assist us we've a com le of D. D's.
Always ready and willing to help raise a breeze;

How the affairs of society ill the next world
shall be ;
Hut they stick to the text and no doubt
They save many a poor sinner who is nearing

There's one portly old judge with long flowing

In business or law is "right on the square ;"
And of musical lore his head is crammed full
He's scarce equal except "Ole Hull."

And discourses sweet music ou his Spinish

MAMMOTH SHOWS,
MonlKoanerjr Queen's New Clr in anal Nw
menagerie.
Monttronierv Queen seems to know
exactly the wants of tbe people who
patronize amusements on the 1'acina
Coast. Last year tbe grand concen
tration of talent which couipmed his
elegant establishment seemed to ua as
if yueen nau e&nausieu me equestri
an world, and that no possible lm-
Firovement could be made ; but tha
ndefatigable and never tiring manav
ger has succeeded in collecting togeth
er new attractions and features that,
were never offered our public before.
Mr. Queen has procured a new and
uagniflcant outfit for his caravan, and
his daily free street displays cannot
fail of convincing the most dubious
doubter that Qjeen has by odds the
most extravagantly gotten-tip estab
lishment, not only in America, but
that ever rolled upon wheels. Besides
the new lofty bandcha-ioi,, Mr. Queer
will introduce some new features in
his processions, known as tableau
cars. One of those repiessnts "Queen's
Dream of our Hundredth Anniversa
ry." The car is emblematic of oar
country and tbe birth of iieedom ; in.
the centre and upon a lofty platform
stands the Goddess of Liberty, with a,
living loose Senegal leopard crouching
at her feet, surrounded by full life
sized figures in gold of Justice and
Columbia. Tbe others consist of mov
ing tableaux. Prof. Pierce's group ot
performing royal Bengal tigers com
prise a living picture witnei ed only
once in a lifetime. Zinzebar and five
man-eating hyenas form another
striking illustration of man's power
over the brutes of creation. Madame
Pauline, the only female sub J tier of
lions on tbe Western continent, gives)
a public exhibition of her reckleos dis
regard of the great monarcbs of tlier
ungies. 'i ne long line or new ammat

Scriptural paintings, representing
some of the grandest and most sab

animals have been added. The Are-
nic or Moral Circus department is com
plete and uuexceptionble. Signor
Quaglieni, the Italian bareback onu
and four-horse rider ; Abelardo Low-
anda, tne wild rider ot .Brazil ; young
Sebastian, the four-pony rider, and
Miss Mollie Brown, tbe greatest fe
male rider the world has ever produced
