(Jratz Drown, of Missouri, takes strong grounds in favor of proliittltnry Hqitor Ia a. Ho says: " It is all very well tlmt tho reason bo ap pealed to, tlio sympathy, tho love, the interest of the individual, tho family, tho country, to induce such alistincnco mid invito such pledges; but whin all this it gained, what nvails if it cannot be made permanent! The way, how ever, to malio sure of all tho ground which is gained in any great moral i evolution, is to des troy the agencies of iinmoiality, i taction nnd reduction as you go along, Leave no armed foohchind. In this matter of tcmpoiauco 10 form it is essential. Close up tho fcaloons that invito to tho social glass. Make it unlaw fill to publicly vend intoxicating liijuor, under any pretense. Send the dram-shop keepers at once to Linking a livingin other callings that aro not hurtful to tho public. Coricct public fcenti mi nt as you go along by striking examples of tho reprobation It is intcnled hereafter to visit upon such callings. Do these things, and do them thoroughly, and of tho 1,000 men who hao donned tho red ribbon, or tho blue, you Mill liml at tho end of tho year 090 will join again in your procession, and hold tho fort. Dtit to do this requires tho amending of tho laws, tho revision of the statutes, tho correct ing of local charters, tho Invocation, in short, of tho power of tho State, and that is politcs. It is idle to think about it in any other light. And it is not only polities, but tho most domi nant politics of tliis ago or country. Thcro aru moro men to-day, throughout tho wholo West, who aro deeply, aye, earnestly, enlisted in having tho law niado clear and cmphatlo in prohibition of this grc.it crlmo the liquor trallio than in any ami all tho othor questions dignified with tliu namu of politics which now thin out the newspapers or dwadlo Into talk on tho street corners. That the temperance cause can never lo successfully engineered until it becomes a political cause In tho sciibo suggest ed must bo apparent to all who consider what is wanted for its final triumph, nnd how nlouu that want can bo supplied. Exportation proves that liquor selling don't stoji itself. Tho his tory of each day in tho year blazon ita crimi nal character In tho police courts. Tho de pressing reaction which follow reform move ments where tho tr.illiu lomaliu unchecked tell thu necessity of suppression. Hut the legisla tion needed to elleet its prohibition can only come of men sent to tho halls of legislation commissioned to do that work llrst ami before all else, To select such men and elect them is politic, How such politioi shall bo best con ducted, through what Instrumentality of asso ciation of parties, whether by independent movement or by dominating old organization aro other and very different questions which will rcqiiiro grave considerations."

That reminds me, said ho, of a story of a horru that was sold at tho cross roads near where 1 onco lived. Thu horso was supposed to lie fast, and quite a number of people were present at thu time appointed for tho salo. A small boy was employed to rido thu horse back wards and forward to exhibit his points. One of thu would.bo buyers followed tho boy down tho road and asked him if thu horso had t splint.

Such men are thu uoii.advertiiiers. "Dook-farmers" were onco tlespiM'd by the sulf.ealled "practical" farmers, but when tho lattur saw the former's crops, they changed their minds.

The celebrated Dr. 1'iehl, during thu ravages of diphtheria iu Knglaud, a few years since, used tho fol lowing remedy: A tuaspoonful of tlour of brimstone in a wineglass of water, stirred with the linger rather than a spoon, as sul phur does not readily amalgamate with wa ter. When well mixed usu as a gargle ami swallow. Iu extreme cases, where the fun- f;us was too nearly oloscd to allow gargling, io blew the sulphur through a quill into the throat, after the fungus had shrunk, then t;nrglc. If the patient, cannot gargle, spriii clu thu tlour of brimstone on a live coal and let him smell the fumes. Dniiistono kills every species of fungus in man, beast or bird and plant. Dr. Field never lost a patient by diphtheria during all his immense practice. Wml. There cannot ho any good farming where weeds aro allowed to run riot among the growing crops, and any farmer who permits quantities ot foul herbage to grow around the outsidu of his tields, iu thu corners or on any part ol his larm, is no patriot, no man worthy of admiration or to bo iniliieuced in any way. Yet iu many neighborhoods there aru men wishing to taUo Mrms arusocov Tllilcn's Income Tax. Mr. Tildcu iimls no rest for the solo of his foot, but In this circumstance alone docs ho reacmhle Noah's dove. While tho great guns of tho New York Tribuno aro knocking what was left of his reputation about his miserable cars, tho old income suit lax comes up witli fuither damaging revelations. It seeiiM now that positivu proof has been ad duced of the payment to him of a fee of 20.- 000, which fee ho previoiifl swears ho had never received; and at the s"imo time it is in timated that ho is believed to havo co-operated with homebody elu to appropriate ( "convey" tho wise it call) 100,000 in bonds and stoeUn, which property wn temporarily intiusted to Tilduiiund Company. Wo aro tiiehiied to hopo that this lattor charge will prove to be unwarranted, for we cannot but thud: that Mr. Tildcu has had quite as much gruel as his enfeebled constitution will cany. At all events it would bo merciful to givo him breathing time, though that is not tho usual wav with the lmwci-that shaties our ends rough, hew them as we will. As thu poet Longfellow has appropriately observed, " tllsist-irs ciiniii not tliulj, Hilt as tlicj ttatclicil atiil wultnl, Trickhu mm JUi'ither s f'utti.ni, Klrit a shi I . then 'irrw , Till tho air H ! ir' Ml h an'uH!i " III the fraud ciso Mr. Tildcu has been get ting it cvceptioiinlly hard, as they say in the P.

It is true that the fraud movement has reboundedwith disastrous elfcct. but tho bottom of tho cele brated "bar'l of money" has not yet been reached, and a cosy retirement is possible to the hero of Bolivia Drazil.

Ono of the dangers of homo life is this habit of disrespect that which is bred by familiarity. People who nre all beauty and sunshine for a crowd of strangers, for whom thoy have not tho slightest atl'cc tiiui and nil ugliness and gloom for their own, by whoso love they live The pleas nut little prettiiics.s of dress nnd personal adornment which mnrk thudesire to please nro put on purely for the admiration of those whoso admiration goes for nothing, while the hotisu companions nro treated only to thu ragged gowns mid threadbare coat, tho tousled hair and stubby beard, which, if marking the case and comfort, or tho satis facon of home, mark also tho uidiHereuce nutl disrespect that do ho much damage to the sweetness and del icacy of daily life. And what is true of the dress is still truer of the manners nnd tempers of home, iu both of which we otten turn too, that want of respect which seems to urn side by side with allcction in the custom of familiarity. It is a rcgrotitulo liilnt under any of its con ditions, but never nioio so than when it invades the homo ami endangers still moro that which is already too much en dangered by other things. Parents and bringers-up do not pay enough attention to this iu the young. They allow habits of disrespect to bo formed rudo, rough, insolent and impatient, mid salve over the Bore with the stereotyped excuse, "Thoy mean nothing by it," which, if thoy look nt it aright, is worse than no excuse at nil, for if they really do mean nothing by it, and their disrespect is not what it seems to be, the result of strong anger or tincoutrolable temper, but is merely a habit, then It ought to be conquered without tho loss of time, being merely a manner that hurts all parties alike. Walking linn or Yrllim I'rtrr- Iln.lUiullt IUr.iU. The term is a technical one, understood in yellow fever districts. A "walking case" is a patient w ho refuses to go to bud, and keeps ins teet until ho iirops iieati. ftomottmes no refiues to admit that ho has yellow fever; tiiiiiviir iiiin j Itsi rinliri Mint tut iiw tlit lr.iil g to take thu lead, whoso ' ,,H..Wt and despairs of recovering from tho ereilwitliweeds.fortliollfoof '. s,-,,,,.,;,,,.. , .,.,ll.-i,. ..,.., mni. them, thoy could not cross any of their Ileitis fests'tho most abject fear, and acain he courago ami inditrcrciico of out to execution. Some times thu "walking is coiitiued to the patient's chamber, and then again he roams tho streets with tho seal of death upon his FASHIONNOTES. New street suits are masculine in stylo. Inhia cashmere makes charming wrappers for brides. Tho poufs and panicrs on imported cos tumes aro scarcely discernible. Plain and flat trimmings are to bo worn most on Fall and Winter dresses. Tho taste for black silk toilets and black millinery prevails as much n3 over. Tho latest fancy is to trim black silk dresses with bands of colored velvet. Short costumes tako only eighteen yaids of medium width stull for a full dress. White vests continue iu vogue, nnd nie n stylish addition to datl; house dresses. Kmll ve green is a favorito shade for even ing toilet. It looks like a greenish ftilvcr by gaslight. Twisted sill; cord is considered moro styl ish than the ''heuille varieties for edging hats and bonnets. Capote-shaped bonnets, very small and compact, and without face trimming nre the leading style this Full. The Spanish mantilla of black and white lace is to bo worn as a part of tho carriage costuma proper tuts winter. Iu ear-rings, one of thu latest monstrosi ties is a silver arrow, which, when worn, looks as though it wero thrust through the ear. Fancy buttons and flat gilt buttons aro used profusely on the clan tartan and fancy plaid suits so fashionable at the mo ment. The embroidered handkerchief caps worn over a round mob cap of Brussels net, edged with a frill, aru called " Creole caps." Wido belts, embroidered in gay colors, like those worn a century ago, aro now fash ionably used with black silk or grenadine dresses. Large circular cloaks are fur-lined and fur trimmed, and soma aru given the monastic sleeve of the Kdward IV period, lined aud bordered w ith fur. Many red velvet bonnets edged with gar net lie.ids aud gold cords, and trimmed with Blinded red plumes ami retl rusts, are seen among the novelties in millinery. A now head-dress is called thu creolti a gauze material of bright colors, arranged iu such a way as to give tho elleet of thu ban danna turbius worn iu thu smith. At the bark hang streamer! of giy-colorcd rib bons. Dows of ribbon are much iu use upon dresses of alt kinds. One novelty is putting several colors together, sometimes as many as live or six, Another Is putting upon batiste, or lawn dresses of any color, long loops and ends of whitu-watered ribbon, tied iu with black velvet. Sometimes bunches of roses or daises aru added to these bows, Ribbons are as much used iu decorating the linens, ginghams and prints that nre so popular as thoy are upon richer materials. DIED.

Another illustration of the perils incident to underground work iu the mines was uiven at tliu Pliienu mine on Sundiy. Kvan Kvaus was the unfort mate victim.

At present there is but one of those attachments iu use at the factory w hicli I havo inspected. The patent is at tached to ono of "Hunt's patent fullers." The invention though ingeiiions is very simple. Connected w ith the springs of thu upper roller is an iron rod which is in turn connected with a light wooden lover that lifts and drops a gear-dial on to n worm that is attached to the main guid ing roller of the fuller. The extra vibration created by the seam caused by sewing both ends of the cloth together, both puts tho indicator iu ami out of motion. The arrangements arc so complete ami simple that by merely moving a lever it will on the revolution of the seam iu thu cloth nut thc dial iu motion, thus showing the operator w hat the cloth is doing, enabling him to ad just the fuller accordingly. Messrs, Jacobs, who have the managing interests of the mills, have been so pleased that the evils the invention has remedied, and tho good it has accomplished, have ordered a dozeu at tachments from au easteru firm with tho in tention uf placing them on all their fullers. The invention when introduced and iu gen eral use, will and must create a revolution in the finishing department of tho manufactur ing of woolen cloths. The inventor, Mr. Clarke, has already received a number of in vitations from woolen factories on this coast to introduce his patent. Capt.Crcsiwell,of tho little steamer Carrie Norton, gives us the following particulars concerning two escaped prisoners; He says that the man who runs tho ferry on the Sandy crossed two persons about 0 o'clock Thursday evening. '1 heo men wero unking toward Washington Territory. One of them had on a pair of handc'iitis, but thu chain connecting them was broken. Tho ferry mail was alone and unarmed, and did not like to tackle tho fellows. One of them l.o with the bracelets inquired of the ferrjuiau if bo knew where a tile could bo obtained, As sjou as the men reached the shore the) broke and ran. There can le no doubt but that these men ate. escaped prisoners, but w ho they aro remains a matter of con jecture. Oi'HCKis.s Klutit-.
