Rev. J. D. Fulton, D. D., Boanerges of tbe Brooklyn pulpit, is likely to get himself in hot water through bis ham mer-and-tongs assaults upon the prevail! ng vises of American women. The 'fair sex will neither forget nor forgive the following strictures upon their fashionable piccadUloes, as expressed freely to aNew York Mercury reporter.

THE REVKREND DOCTOR F0BE8BBM HIS PERIL.

"You want me to talk on women— the perils and possibilities of our American womanhood," said Dr. Fulton. ••Now, a woman dislikes to be told, no inattor bow qear to tbe precipice she

foes,

tlmt she is in danger, and I suppose will get the women all down on me for talking of their failing, follies, and even crimes. What are the perils to which American women are liable? One of them Is thoir conformity and courtesy ©f foreign caprices and customs. Mind should form the predominant features and not French millinerj. Our women should depend on what was in the head, not what was ou it. The "first thing our

Kivomen

should do is to reform in the

matter of dress. You «an't go to a Summer resort but you will be met everywhere with evidences of the alarming textont to which this terrible passion for dress is carried. Thousands of men are kept from marrying liecause it is impossible to enter fashionable society and %iaintain a standing on what ought to be considered a good Income. You will

Bee a woman at Coney Islaud with clothing on tier that would COST HALF A YBAR'S SALARY Of a bank cashier or tbe income of a man of moderate business. If the matter were closely looked into it is the passion for drcftaiii women that breaks many banks and sends scores of defaulting cashiers aind trusted clerks to State's prison. A woman sets her heart on dress and must Slave it, and the cashier or trusted clerk jmiHt utrnl to meet her extravagance, or •the moderate business man must cheat his creditors or burn bis store to procure un over insurance. Ah, my dear sir, tbe •stripes of the convict's suit show through some of the elegant costumes of the tine looking Indies vou see others of them are touched wilfi the

MILDKW OF DUT'AYKD VIRTUB,

And the lurid gleam of tbe suicide's blood might, with a strong spiritual •vision, be seen even in the sombre folds of tbe widow's mourning veil. We shall oiot grow nil American womanhood worthy of tbe name until our young ladies shaii cast aside their fetters and ior the sake of society and their own womanhood, declaro there is a nobler occupation for them than to dance attendance on the behests of fashion.

American women like to bo independent, but are willing to be the veriest slaves of a sot of French can-ran dancers in the Jardin Mabille. Let one of these loose creatures change the cut of her .•dress, the shape of her bonnet, or the heoi of her shoe, and at once from Maine to California, not only among the ladies Vof wealth but through every grade of kiife, an attempt is made to conform to «the odious habit. Of course no uan of souse is indilVerent to neatness and beattty of ottiro.

is a power on earth. She knows it, and the world recognises it. Our.girls are sha(Kly in form and should not engraft iiideousneas and deformity by ontrapffmrs manner of dressing to*please foreigners, American women should strike against this and declare, as the 'fathorn did, for the right of life, liberty «nd the pursuit of happiness, nor submit to the dictation or foreign tyrants.

Is this passion, inordinate and dangerous as it is, the ouly peril that threatens American womaniiood? No, sir it is not. The fomnlmjr-bonse Is rapidly tak ^ing the plaee of the home.

Its great danger to women is that they drink apart principally, but here, again, foreign custom comes in to held along the wheels of the devil's chariot. The English fashion of producing wines and liquors when one lady makes a call upon another has come into vogue. A woman may make a dozen cads in an afternoon.' Suppose she drinks a glass of wine—and often thev drink much stronger stuff— at each place, she will be fortunate If she can get out of her carriage without being helped. 1 can never forget the horror that came over me when I learned from the most reliable source that more women —drank than men, and that in New York, Brooklyn. Boston, Chicago, St Louis and Cleveland, more women are arrested for drunkenness than men. Hie drunkenness among women prevails ...

AMONO OUR 8CHOOL-TKACHKRS,

And even our Sabbath-schoel teachers. The woman who will be guidingachild's mind to Heaven and pointing out the pure and beautiful table-lands of God, will go home and send her servant with a pitcher or bottle to the 'family entrance'of a liquor store on the corner, and drink herself into beastly unconsciousness. One of the greatest absorbers of alcohol I have ever personally known is a lady of Brooklyn. One Sunday she was so drunk at church that she was not able to sit straight in her pew. I charged her with being drunk, ana she became very indignant and denied it. I plainly told her she lied. She saw I was determined, and sho gave in and confessed. We fell to our knees and I prayed with her, and she

OOT UP A SOBER WOMAN.'1

"You must have remained ou your knees quite a considerable time, Doctor?" "Tbe power of Christ is great. The shock of my finding her out, too, helped to sober her. &ut think for a moment of the frightful consequences to the rising generation! The blood of the children is poisoned with the alcohol absorbed from the mother's breast. It is only a short time ago a child died in Now York from alcoholism. It had never reooived any nourishment except from its mother's breast, and from that it had sucked the vile poison. A oouple of nights ago, T1IRKB MARRIKD WOMEN, WITH FAMI:rr. -•LIES, Were arrested on an up-town street iu that city, while fighting as to who should "pay for another drink. They had been out ou a debauch all the ovening. A child represents those who gave it birth. Whon a boy or man turns out, bad, tbe rufflau mother is generally behind the ruttiati character. Millions of children are growing up in this country without homes, and what sort of a man can you expect .when he has no home of his childhood to look back to and inspire him with deeds that are genorous and noble? For this our women are to blame. The idea of a woman bringing up children in a hotel or boarding-house is so unnatnral, so repugnant to all sense of duty and right, to God and fellowman that a woman must be diabolically, cold-bloodedly indifferent to all woman's better nature, to do it, But they don't care for their children. No. sir some women would rather nurse and caress aud kiss a

With a dirty pug-nose, than a baby, and others would rather clutch and hang on desperately to a ballot-box than embrace the loveliest and most loveable baby in Ohristendom. This is all bad and damnable. Dld you ever hear the story of the Irish stage-driver? The tavern was full, and he was compelled to sleep with a negro. While asleep, one of the ooys blacked his face. ,"In the morning he mounted the box without an opportunity to, wash. Arriving at the next town, fifteon miles distaht, ho went to make his toilet. Surveying his black face in the glass, he declared 'Be jabers, but they wakened the wrong man. It's the dirty nager they have liere drivin', and I'm left fifteon miles behind.' Now I meet women every* day that remind 1110 of this story. They have, left their good, womanly qualities fifteen miles behind thom. Look at some of our young women not yet out of their teens. Instead of the young face, fair and fresh, downy and plump, and full of lusciousness as a ripe peach, tbey have a face withered and wrinkled like a lemon of ill growth. They have loft their youth fifteen years behind tJjem." tf?

REMWT.

"What remedy would you propose for all these alarming evils? *'I would first nave American women cut completely loose from the thraldom of foreign fashions and customs. I would destroy this un-Godiy passion for dress, and I would teach tbe rising generation of women—every one of them— the duties and responsibilities of womanhood and of the household. Shoals of women are now going to the devil,

if they had been properly trained, would have made good wives and mothers. We must destroy the Iwdlot-box-for-women iniquity, the boarding-house, and the gin-bottle. This is our only salvation If this is not done we will, iu a fefr geft erations, be a miserable, nerve-shattered race, mentally and phvsically imbecile, and about on a par with the Madagascar monkey."

WHY MURDERERS KILL.

WANTON, ABSURD AND INSANE BUTCHERIES.

There is probably no civilized cGhntry

vice confined to women of tbe lower or iu which life is held so lightly, andmurmiddle grade of society. It prevails in der committed as wantonly, as in the the mansion of tbe wealthy and the cul- United States. In this connection It is tivated, and among church members,

United States. In this Interesting to investigate the causes which inspire our red-handed malefactors to the crimes they commit.

The fantastic fancy of the roinandst could create no stronger reasons for murder than those some of our murderers tffford. The theory held by many, that a madness comes over some men whose fury can only be quenched in blood, receives ample endorsement in such cases as we give below.

Take the one, for instance, reported from Wyandotte, Kansas, recently. A notorious young scamp of that place—a negro—Grant Green by name. One afternoon Green started to go bunting. A little bqy, eight or ten yeais of age, followed him, and would not go bade when ordered to do so by Green. As' they came to a creek, Green said be would shoot the first thing he could find across the creek. The litUe boy ran ahead and climbed up the bank, playfully saying: "Shoot me." Green ala shoot, ana

SHATTERED THE BOY'S LEGS

So that he died. When arrested, the murderer remarked, coolly "It was his own fault. I gave him fair warning."

Another colored assassin has just been sentenced to death, at Little Rock, Ark. He shot a stranger dead, by mistake for a man against whom he had a grudge, and at his trial pleaded not guilty, on the ground that "he had no hard feelings against the deceased."

In Pittsburg, a year ago, a workman in a foundry had three fingers of his right hand crushed under a steam hammer. He gave up foundrying in consequence, and became waiter iu a saloon. While mixing a drink for a stranger, the customer happened to remark that he was a master mechanic, and had set up tbe machinery in several foundries in the city. The waiter asked him if be had set up the machinery in the foundry he had been crippled in. Upon the man replying that he nad. the waiter stabbed him to the heart with the knife he used to out lemons. Tbe murder then finished mixing the cocktail, and drank it off in the presence of the horrified bystanders.

A somewhat similar trageav is re-

Eangerfrom

orted Las Vegas, Texas. 'An idle on of the local bar-rooms got on a^drunk and went to sleep on the railroad track. A train came along and did what trains generally do to a man asleep on the track. He was taken to the hospital and one of his legs amputated. When he recovered he resumed his old course, and ended by shooting tbe conductor and brakeman of a train to avenge himself for the injury to his anatomy.

These twb avengers had something to Inspire (them in a general way with hatred of their victims. But what cause had the man in Georgia, who,, having just purchased a revolver i«f an Augusta store, tried it by shooting, a telegraph lineman down from a pole jit tl|e aoor His reasons for his crime were abont as cogent as those of tbe fisherman at Palatka, Fla., who sailed his tough old boat into the fancy skiff of a tourist visitor, "just to. see the dqrned thing collapse," and sailed away from the crushed boat, leaving THE MAN AND WOMAN IN IT TO DROWN.

It is comforting to read in Connection with this gentleman thai he^was hunted down the coast by an indignteit Vigilance committee until his craft capsized in a squall and left him to enjoy the same fate his two victims had experienced.

Down in the same cbuntry, at Indiana River an alligator hunter walked into a store and bargained for an iron, stew pot. There were two kinds, one far 8150 and the other for $2. The alligator annihilator craved for a #2 one, but refused" to pay more than $1.&0 for it. The storekeeper refusing this jefler tbe saurian slayer laid the money1 he offored 6n the counter, shot the obdurate tradesman through the lungs and tarried his pot offin triumph to his forest home.

Iu a barroom in Paxagoula, Miss., two lumber cutters got into ft dispute over the length of tree one of them had felled. They differed one foot in their estimates of its measurement. After a time and numerous drinks, afresh topic of discussion displaced this one. Next morning one of tlie tiuibermen met the other in the street. He walked up to him and said without any preliminary explanation. "A hundred and fifteen." "A hundred and fourteen," replied the other. I

empty he went to tbe cow bouse, milked a cow, filled the bottle, and went on hiswayiin search of someone else to murder, leaving his victim's orphan comfortable, and well provided for.

Guiteau is not the only assassin who claims to bave been DIVINELY INSPIRED To his crime. A miller in Maine fell upon a stranger who was passing his door, and beat him to death with an iron bar. The only explanation he could give for his act was that God had whispered to him that tbe victim was a bad man, and ought to die.

A school teacher in Idaho strangled one of his scholars on the same slender motive, and the wife of an Iowa farmer brained her five children, and tried to chop her hubby into mincemeat, because the Lord commanded her to do so.

A man out West ran away from his family with a woman of loose virtue, whom he supposed to be the possessor of a couple of thousand dollars. He discovered that he had been deceived, and murdered her.

In a gambling-house, at Eagle Pass, George Manner lost money. At a late hour lie returned, and finding the two men who had won it from him asleep, he killed them. Another crime of cupidity was that of the beggar in Detroit, who called at a house where he had been in tbe habit of soliciting charity, and being sent away empty handed, struck the lady of the house a blow with his crutch that fractured her skull.

MOTIVES FOR TAKING HUMAN LIFE,

As learned from one day's reading of newspapers, are as varied and curious as those we bave already given. Not long ago the writer made a census of one day's crimes, with the following result

Davis was led by sudden ana uncontrollable rage to kill Rogers with a base ball club, in the midst of a game in Kewanee, 111. Montgomery, in South Adams, Mass., gave Ellis cider to drink, but quarreled with him over a game of cards, demanded ten cents ior the cider, and shot him because he would not pay. A sudden angry impulse, too, maae Sawyer kill his brother in Decatnr, 111., but ne repented So profoundly and quickly that he took his own life with the same weapon. In a Santa Cruz (Cal.) hotel, Livingston, a waiter, brought a cold cup of coflfee to Colby, who at once flew into a violent passion, and shot the offender dead. A more reasonable disagreement between Wilson and Coleman, in Galveston, Texas, was about the wife of Wilson, who was killed in a des-

gankinduel

irate with knives. Greer and also fought about woman in Forsyth, G»., tbe former losing his life. Farrell found provocation to kill Conway 'in St. Catharines, Canada, in the leaving open of a gate, by which a cow got on a railroad track. Several love tragedies are alike in their chief characteristics, in each case a man killing a woman because she would not reciprocate his passion but Sturgeon, who killed Miss Buffum, in Rock Island, 111., was exceptionally cruel. He chased her half a mile, and lie kept firing at her until she fell with a mortal wound. Sha Yung, in Utah, tied his faithless mistress to a tree and threw knives at her, one of the cuts bringing the torture to an end in death. Jennie Coyle, in Dubuque, Iowa, did not kill the lover who deserted her, nor herself, but threw her baby intu a well. Of murders for the sake of robbery, examples are pleuty in the West, particularly shocking cases being those of a Chinaman hacked to pieces in Quincy, III., a miner shot while defending his gold in Dayton, Cal., aud a clerk beaten, to death by burglars In Sedalia* Mo.

SMART CAT. ~h

Remarkable cat stories have been plenty in the newspapers of late.- The Yarmouth Register contributes the following A resident of a Western eity says: "My next door neighbors last Winters were a well-t6-do family. It was the custom of the hired girl to place a, basket out at the back door, with a plate in it, every night, and it ah early hour in the morning, generally before tony one was up abbtit the place,, the baker would leaven dozen steaming hot rolls in the basket for the morning mealt Ijuring the terribly cold weather I Was looking out of my window one morning, and saw the baker put the rolls in tbe basket. No soosor nad he got out of the gate than a cat darted out of a shed, and jumping into the basket, spread itself over the hot rolls, and was soon enjoying a nice nap. When the girl arose and started to open the door, the cat leaped oat and disappeared from view. After that I, of course, watched, and for weeks the cat warmed itself over the rolls as rogularly as the day came. The family were never any Wiser, and I presume the rolls tasted just as good to them as if pussy hadn't roosted on them*.

iI A 1 fr

New York Home .Journal.

Introducing her lecture, which was he*rd by a large and refined audience, by reference to the true position of woman In society, and how her physical condition affects her social and Intellectual standing, tbe lecturer said:

They who have made careful investigation tell us that heathen women are much more able to endure pain than are the women of civilisation but civilised women resent the charge that they are weaker because they are civilized. A distinguished writer says: "If the women of civilization are less able to en dure.the taxation of their physical resources than are heathen women, it is a mere accidental circumstance and one within their control." When the body is healthy, beauty is certain to appear, even in features once plain. With health and beauty in a!l their attractiveness a new life dawns, enjoyment begins and all the luxurious attendants of a healthy bod comes forth. The maiden feels the glorious possibilities of life the mother becomes conscious of the grandeur of maternity and the joys of a family. The Creator has given both women and man perfect physical forms, and each is constitutionally equal^to all natural demands. It women believe in the fatalism that disease is a necessary condition of their existence, it is chiefly because the schools of medical practice bave been Incapable of competing with the multitudes of ills which, by personal carelessness or professional incompetency, they have permitted to fasten upon woman.

A few weeks ago I received a call from a eharmiug lady, who stated that she believed she was suffering from a paralyzed liver, and wished to know it I could in any way aid her recover}'. There Is no doubt that thousands of women are suffering to-day from similar troubles, who do not recognize their cause so nearly as tills lady did. Paralysis means death of the member paralysed, and torpidity of the liver is the first stage of its desaolutibn. A torpid and diseased liver carries the elements of disease to all the other parts of the system. With an imperfect liver comes billlousness, languor, a sense of bearing down constipation, displacements, uterine trotibles and the thousand ills which aro coupled in their train. Then followed impure blood and all the evils which an ififtpwfect circulation cause. No woman Is seriously sick for any length of time when tlie blood Is pure» and no blood can bo impure when the liver and kidneys are in perfect order. I feel in my privilege to-day to state that I believe there is a means whereby women who are suffering can obtain 'Complete relief, and those who are In health be continued in its enjoyment. A few years ago a prominent and wealthy gentleman residing in Rochester N. Y., was given up to die of Bright's diseaso of the Kidneys. By moans of a simple and purely vegetable remedy he was restored to perfect health, So efficient did this remedy prove In the case of many well known men, that it began also to be used by ladies, and today thousands of women In all parts of the land, owe their restored health and continued happiness to the wonderful power and efficacy of Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure and Safe Pi. a. The first causa of ill health is impure b'.ood. The performance of the natural functions of womanhood and motherhood is not a disease, nor shouid it be so treated. If, however, the blood be impure, it is certain to produce poisoning effects In the parts with which It comes in contact, and thus cause inflamatlons and the innumerable ills Which make the physical 11% & woman s6 hard ifc endure. I am aware a prejudice exists against proprietary medicine*, and thatsueh prejudice is too often Well founded, but we shoud. discriminate,—not condemn all because some are Inefficient. The merits yf Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure and Safe Pills liavo been proved beyond a doubt, becauseMcy deal directly tcU*the causes pt ail fem&!tt troubled fiun-r

The'lecturer olosod with an enthusiastic commendation of this wonderful remedy, and urged hot- hearer* to Judge of such remedies on their merits and not through seusoless prejudice. The lecture produced so much comment lynong the ladies, aud so much inquiry, that the Home Journal tbe following explicit and supn.emenlai artic.e:

ReaJzlng that uo subject can be of more vital importance or of interest to all readers, than tlie coudition of the women of America, we have collected and prepared, with considerable care, additional facts burning upon the subject to which w© gave so much space in our last issue. The minds and manners of American women are ad that can be desired but it is a lamentable fact that their physical framcH are far inferior in comparison with their social and menta characteristic*. The women of Kug and are noted for their florid heath those of Germany for their strong constitutions, and tne tadies of France for their exuberance of spirits but Aiuwlcan women poflKes* too few of the*c qualities in any prominence, .and ad of thenvohiy in a slight degree. The reason for tins mast be main to every careful observer. Hedcfitary ways, devotion to fashion—but above all and more than ah, carefessness and indifference todaiiy habits and duties, have rendered the women of this innd far Jew strong aud healthy than It is either their duty or privi/e§§ to be. This irregular and indifferent mabner of living brings about the most serious resu ts and is both direct and lndi rect' of unto lujury to the race.
