THE PARADE.

The first show of tho season, long talked of In all the households in city and country adjacont, that take the papers, appeared on our streets Thursday, and made a most magnificent display. Tho principal streets, wkieh wore thronged with the populace, were "processed." As the grand caravan crossed Sixth street on Main, It was marshaled in the following order: Guides, in armor, mounted elegant chariot with fu|l band, drawn by four span of snow white horses, with burnished harness and elegant plume.* knights and ladles, gaily attired and mounted on liin blooded horses, richly caparisoned grand and gorgeous ebarlot with golden olephant on top, surmounted by the queen ol tho arona, all propelled by sixteen white horses Modoc*, headed by the surviving member of the royal family of Captain Jack, all painted in tho latost stylo of tho art, and aBtrldo of

Mexican mustangs, nourished with gunpdwder 'anOthor long line of cages a camel the llvo performing elophants charriots,ponies, and mounted knights, tho whole ostomling almost from ono end of Main street to tho other. While the roar of tho caravan was crossing Sixth street, on Main, the van was passing south on Fifth, filling up tho Intervening spaco on Main, Second and Ohio streets. After parading the, city, to tho pleasure of tho populace, the caravan proceeded to tho extensive area opposite the gas works, where their tents woro pitched, and prepared for

BURGLARS,

Who Wont Out for Wool, l)u Went Away Shorn. Tho Express reports that Thursday morinng about 12K o'clock, as a party of gentlemen wore out serenading, and as they approached tho rosidonco of Joseph Strong, on Poplar street, they hoard cries proceeding from tho dwell-, ing, and upon getting noarer, they were ablo to distinguish the voice of 8omo ono ordering somebody out in vigorous tones. Thinking that it was somebody driving boys or cattle from an adjoining yard, thoy walked leisurely, but upon going up to tho window, they discovered that tho voice proceeded from tho interior ol Mr. Strong's residence. They .found that burglars had been at work there, and had been dlscoveicd by Mrs. Strong, who waB awakened by tbo. music of tho band. The burglars had broken a slat lrotn the shutter with an axe, broken out a pane of glass, raised the window, and thus offected an entrance. They succeeded in getting nothing at all, and left pair of bao'.fl, 1t"n axe, and a sort ol wooden crow bar in fact, ihey went out "for wool, anil went away shorn." Had tho gcntlomon in the party but known tho ciuuo of tho outcry a littlo sooner, it is likely tlwy would have been ablo to capture Ihe'burgluis.

The Nail Works Resume. Tho Journal says that tho first nails were cut at tho nail works Wednesday. Two machines wero set at work, ono of them cutting shingle nails and (lrt» other cutting lathing nails. A "«ixpouny" machine is also ready for operation. Nails of tho larger size cannot yet be cut, however, as tho heating furnaces aro not quite ready. They will, however, probably be in readiness by to morrow. The worK of dressing tho laces of the dozen big grindstones is about completed. In the rolling room two plato cutters and one bar cuttortliavo beon started,Iho two foriner buing driven by the same engine. A great quantity of plates have been cut, ready for boing made into nails. A new switch is being constructed leading from tho maiu E.AC, track around .the 'present switch. On it will be placed another set of

scuIcb,

of 00,000

pounds capacity, likft that on tlio other switch. The last is for convenience in weighing scrap iron.

Sometime since all toe property of John Hurton was given in charge of General Charles Cruf*, one of his attorneys, as trustee. This was douo to socurb tho payment of his just? debts. About ten days ago a hotiso and lot in llagdad, of the valuer of f1,000, was conveyed to Mrs. Margaret Rink, wife of the victim of one of John's sprocs, who is now a helpless invalid, as all our readers aro doubtless awaro. Yesterday John left Terre Haute, with tho avowed intention of joining the regular army.

ASnbstanti il Farmer Believed of the IS Hard Earnings of a Life of Labor.

The Operation# of a Middle Man.

Wo learn from the Journal that Joseph Willoughby, a resident of Jefferson county, was robbed of the largo sum of nine thousand dollars on the Evansville A Crawfordsville train coming north last Thursday night. He has been a substantial farmer, bis homo being about twelve miles north of MadUon. He had sold all his stock and the appurtenances of his farm, and was on bis way to visit his brother In central Illinois, where be was intending to buy a farm and make it bis home. Ho went from Madison to

Evansville, and came up from there as far as Vinc3nnes, where he stopped to make a short visit to another brother. Last evening ho was a little late in coming to m«et tho train, ran to the ofllco to buy a lickot, and in paying for the ticket, he was obliged to expose a largo roll of bills. Ho wwnt Into the rear car and sat upon the last cross seat in the back end alone. Here, after a time, he felt an unusual and very strange drowsiness, leaned his elbow upon the window and went Into a dozo. He does riot think he had been drugged, but supposes it was due to tho effects of chloroform administered from behind in some subtle way.

When tho train arrived inihlsc'ty he was awakoned by a stranger, who shook him by tho shoulder, saying, "Here! this is not your train." The car was almost empty, most of tho pasaeugers having got out. He passed from the car in a stupor, being still undor the cfiocts of tho queer influence. On coming out he wont to the ofllco to secure a ticket for tho wofct bound Vandalia train, and Maidenly found that, his pocket-book waH missing, as was also a large roll of money, notes and papers, which were in his inner side pocket. The money In all, besides the papers, amounted to about $9,000. He gives as a roiison for his carrying so much cash in his pocket, that he had become usf-d to doing so at homo, being a heavy cattle dealer, and that no ono had over troubled him before. Ho was found and taken clvtrge of by fBcerCal. Harris, who did what ho could for him, but of course no clue could be found to tho thief. It is possible that tho papeis may liavo been thrown away aftorwards, boing of no service to the robber. If any one finds any such papers to-day ho should transfer thom to Chief Showtnaker.

Mr. Willoughby was left without a dollar. He has a large family, and almost the whole of his property was represented in tho money that was stolon. Ilo is entitled to deep sympathy in his bad condition. This robbery is ono of tho heaviest ever committed here.

That Littlo Game of Draw. A smart poung man who gave his name, Alfred Graham, and his home, Casey, came to tho city Thursday with a sldo show, In tho shapo of a little prize game, which the boys could attend

without admittance fee, and have a chance to make a fortuno or draw an elephant. Among others who were in attendance, and promptly proceeded to draw a prize, woro Ofilcers Meyers and Quigley. They made a magnificent haul, drawing everything the follow hud, including himself. The ofilcers were so well pleasod with their success that they took their prize to the Mayor and exhibited. This excited tho cupidity of that functionary, and ha drew $20.05, payable at sight.of the station house.

was packed again last evening, on the occasion of anothor lecture on thetouiperance question, by J. J. Talbott, of New Albany.

TIIK PKKMMINAnY EXEBC1HE8 consisted of an appropriate appeal to to tho Throne of Grace, by Rev. Vance, of Vincennes, after which

HH. TALBOTT WAS INTUODL'CKD. Ladles and Gentlemen—I have before me to-night the most difficult task of the orator. I propose to entertain you, not with figures of speeoh, but with figures upon the manufnetrti'e. Bale and consumption of intoxicating driuks in our country aud while statistical lectures aro proverbially dull, yet the vast importance of tho subject to be discussed will, I sincerely trust, so engage your time occupied in presenting tho startling results of my calculations ou the basis of official reports will not seem wearisome or wasted.

Yet while it is truothat an exhibit of figures precludes the idea of any attempt at oratorical display, still tho statistical argu inont is of creator weight and ell'fct than any other for figures demonstrate a proposition reasons other than these may bo controverted. But who can deny that twice two are four? Il I allirm that the principle of free trade is better for ourcountry there is tho doctrine of protection, you would mayhap answer me that the proposition Is debatable, nnd assign reasons for your dissent. But if I tell you that the trafllc iu liquors costs the county ^350,000,000 annually, and place the amount which wo pay in ono column, and the amount which we receive from that sourca In another, and take tho sum of the receipts from tho sum of the expenditures and find a remainder of $350,000,000 of money, then you aro estopped. You can just as reasonably deny that two from soven and five remain, is a true proposition I take my figures from the ofQcial reports of Government ofilcers, and as all agree as to the reliable integrity of tho source of 111 data, we are both sides bound to accept as true whatever those figures may prove—or rather one side of tho question or the other, can, and should, demonstrate his proposition, and

ceed

to that duty.

I pro

During the year 1873 we exported— sent abroad—84,000 gallons of malt liquors (round numbers). We sold to foreign countries of spirits distilled from grain, 20,000 gallons of spirits distilled from molasses, chiefly New England rum, 880,000 gallons from spirits distilled from fruits, chielly brandies I presume, 41,000 gallons, making a grand total of oxported spirits of 1,031,000 gallons. All tho money wo received In return was on malt liquors §33,000, 011 snirits, $501,000 makiiiR a total of $624,000. That much placed to our credit on the books of the world. Now as to tho foreign liquors consumed in tlio United States— and when I say consumed, I mean it iu the broadest sense—during the same period of time, and I will not calculate tho amount brought into the United States from some of tho Islands of the Pacific, from Mexico, and some ports of tho New Dominion, wo imported of malt liquors alono 1,940,000 gallons, of distilled, and that's whisky, brandies, and gin, 2,180,000 gallons of wine, 9,857,000 gallons all making a total in round numbers of 14,000,000 gallons of intoxicating liquors imported into this country, and used by the people of tho United States In ono year as against 1,054,000 gallons exported. Then the actual cost at the custom hotiso of this prodigious amount of for eiitn sack, of course, Is very easily attained. For spirits $G,773,000—in gold coin—for wines, ?10,153,000 for malt liquorn—such as boor and al«w$2,390,040. This gives us a grand total of $28,449,745 paid out to foreign countries tor intoxicating drinks. Our exports boing $0?4,000, thero is a balance against usol $27,825,000. That is, we drink all our own homo made liquor, and more than $27,000,000 bosides, to say nothing of liquors smuggled Into the United States from tho Wost Indies, from Mexico and from tho Domion of Canada. In other words, we lire drinking ourselves as a nation Into the debt of foreign countries at about $28,000,000 in gold every year of tho yation's llfo._ Such^Js the enormous with all its boasted progress, with ail its vast resources, with all of its supposed advancement in everything that tends to make a nation great, we tio :.ot make our own liquors, but buy them abroad at the rate of $28,000,000 per year.

I lay it down as an indisputable fact that where a man is receiving more money than ho is pavinu: out he is getting rich, but where, oh tho contrary, he is paying out more every day than lie is taking in, that that man is bocoming poor. This is true of the individual, it is also true of the governments. Anvmau who has any business outside of a lunatic asylum, if he wore taking in money at the rato of $16,000,000 and paying out at the rate of$20,000,000,would quit business and close uptbo concern, whatever the business engaged in. [Applauded.] Yet this the kind of business that our country is doing to-day. We nre getting poorer every year of the nation's life at the rate of $23,000,000, and other nations on tho face of the earth aro getting richer in the same ratio.

Ilut I wish to talk to you to night more particularly of tho traffic in our own State, and I shall demonstrate what I shall say, as 1 have heretofore, in my remarks this evening, from tho olllcial records. During tho yoar 1873, Indiana made of whisky and brandy— actually reported by tho rovenuo ofilC'4is—the vast amount of 0,054,100 gallon?. Tho revenue officers allow about 25 percent, less for moonshine whisky, [laughter] as they call il—made on the »1 to avoid tho revenue. I will allow but 10 prir cent., and then have a total of

gallons. Of beer there was

mauufiuturcd in Indiana, 0,379.416, all nukinsf a. grand total of 13 598,902, or nearly 50 gallons to ewry voter in the State—about a pint each for every day itl the year, enough to keep thom drunk every ono of tho 305 days in tho year that i«, if our Indiana white whisky has the capacity for that much ruin—and I think it has. [Laughter and applause.] At the beginning of the year thero wore 4,921 licensod man-traps in the shape of wliis1v saloons and 54 boer "houses, all spread and baitod,beautifully ba tod, to entrap and catch u«. In round numbers, at tho beginning of tho preseut year, Indiana had 5,000 saloons that is to say, ono doggery for every 320 of our population. It takes, hen, a very easy and brief calculation to see that every 54 men in the Stato, on an average, pay out moro than enough to support a useless, Ikzv soul and body-destroying liquor seller on the saerecl soil of the State. I can demonstrate this, but controvert it who can. I arrive at this by taking the votes polled at the last election for President, and the number of saloons, divide the former by tho latter. What do you think of the cost now? You go to labor, hard honest Ubwr, sweating in June and freezing in January to support what To support In luxurious idleness, summer and winter, these lords of the inanot these privilege parasites upon tho bv.dy politics, these drones in the great hive of bmnan beings, the liquor sellers. Every 59 of you throughout tho Stato are vassals of the lordly saloon keopers, and you cannot avoid this conclusion. By some process they live and flourish on the proceeds of theif damning traffic. Yon may blush until you are crimson, or blush that you do not bluab, you are his serfa, his toiling slaves, 59 of you for every liquor seller in the State of Indiana. Fret till your

iroud hearts burst, it is trua. The traffic makes the liquor seller tb« master and yon the slave Oh, shame, shame, shame, where ore the men who carried the stars aud stripes and with-tbat old fliig-the honor ol Indiana, through the storm and tempest of an hundred battles. Where are they, the heroes, who marched over the'slippory field of Shilob, Perrysville, Stone River, Chicamauga, and amid the awful carnageof Gettysburg, never quailing or faltering, remembering Indiana and their own deathless fame. Where are the men who lifted hp their bands and swore that the stars and bars of the rebellion sboAld go down into the dust before the rifcing splendor of' the star--spangled banner, and who, by their own heroic achievements, made good their sublime objects. [Applause.]

w£m

Where are they to-day 1 say? Tell it but in whispers, lest their comrades, who sleep in ths hallowed repose of the soldier's grave, should come forth and disewn them. They are here in their old homes, with their honors clustering thick about them, but on the brow of every .one. of tbem Is stamped the sign of servitude.

Citizens, soldiers, will you, can yon, longer remain in this shameful condition of bondaice, after having struck the shackles from four million slaves? Will you have it said that you cannot strike the shacules from your own limbs. Rise in your might as you. dhl in those dark days, and go

forth'

disenthralled emancipated from the slavery of the saloon keepers. Meet your roes at the ballot box and wbon one of them asks you to sign a permit to sell l.quor, tell him it is not that he wants, but your slavey. Ladies and gentlemen, you majr dodge- the issue as you will, this is the truth.

But we will return to the figures: Tho whisky which Indiana makes, consumes at throe gallons to the bushel, 2,439,858 bushels,of grain. At «0 pounds to the bushel of grain, and 25,000 pounds to the wagon, it requires 68,650 two horse wagons to haul it. At 80 feet to the wagon, it would make a train of wagons 936 miles long, and would load 25 steamers or three hundred tuns burden, aud the beer would float the steamers. [Applause.] But this is a railroad town. There aro in a mile of an ordinary railroad, 2,100 cross-tios. In tho State o! Indiana,we manufacture liquor chough to put a gallon Jug of whisky on both ends of each tie for 1,745 miles. Then there is enough Indiana beer lo put a pony keg between tbem from here to Snn Francisco and three-fourths ol tho way back again. [Applause.] But you reside beside the beautiful Wabash. You take Indiana beer and whisky and put them iu gallon Juas and link them togother, and they will, thus linked together, reach down tho Wabash to the Ohio, from the Ohio to the Mississippi, norcss the Gulf or Mexico to Cuba, across the Carl bean sea. across tho Isthmus of Panama und many miles into the Pacific ocean. [Great applause.] Theso facts may give you some idea of the tremendous amount of liquor manufactured in Indiana.

But let us turn from Stato to National statistic. During the year 1873, tho United Statos manufactured 100,000,000 gallons ef spirits. Spirits made and reported for taxation amounted te 71,150,307, to which add that illicitly distilled, and we have the above astonishing amount. Tho beer actually taxed amounted to 234,000,000. The grain necessary to make tbe whisky was 33,383,393 bushels, oqual in weight to 1,000,000 tuns, unci that for the beor would weigh as much more—enough to load O.OOFL vessels of 300 tuns burden each, or tnako a train of wagons 11,338 miles long ami require 4,000,000 horses to movo it or a train of cars 250 miles long and require 2.000 engines to draw it. In 1872 there were 161,144 licensed liquor dealers in the United States. In 1873 there were 201,070 of that interesting character of persons known as lordly Baloon keepers. That shows an increase in 0*0 year of 39,932. Every day in the last year 149 new whisky mills have gone Into operation in tho United Stales. It is not a marvol to me that tho women are arroused to a sonso of their duty, but oh, what a fearful discouragement it must be to them to them to think of tho Increase under the damning legislation of this country. Every day 149 new whisky shops go into operation. Christian women of America, aro you closing up 119 every day? If you aro not you aro losing ground in the fearful Btruggle. What are these whisky mills doing, anyhow? They are manufacturing food for our jails, poor houses and penitentiaries. They are preparing men to suspend by the nock in tlio sight of God to vindicate the riinjesty of tho law. It pales the great blot of African slavery into utter insignficenco. That was confined to a fow Statos. Tho appetite for strong drink enslaves mon over all tho continent, from tho Northern lakes to the Southern gulf, and from Main to California, you will find it. [Applause.] It permeates tho entire mass of tho tiody politic. African slavory but polluted a half of tho Union, alcoholic slavery pollutes tho entire Union witb its infernal, damnablo embrace. [Great applauso.] It is making most gigantic strides to arrogate to itself all other Interests. Its advocates, uublushingly attempt, to control all our elections—by intimidation and subsidy—national, Stitc, county una municipal. It essays to strlko down and paralyse ull laws human and Divine, that interfere witli its ouward march of vico. [Continous applause.]

My friend Dr. Wilson, of Louisville says that abolitionism and temperance are the twins that wrought the ruin of this beautiful country. [Laughter.] Abolitionism destroyed slavery lie •ays. Bourbon Democrat of the. strictest school, of which your most distinguished citizen was one until ho went to Indianapolis and dined 011 crow, and found it. did not digest well—[laughter]—I say ery an71Uft''d1T 'a ?fp^ ^Applauded.] But I pretend to say that abolitionism did not destroy slavery. Such men as my friend Dr. Wilson did it. [Great applause.] llad it not been for their assumptions, another century ofthe nation's existence might have been polluted by its presence. When thoy boasted that they would call the roll of their slaves in the sacred shadow of fiurtker Hill, and pretended to cite tlx irdivino rights tor the enslavement of their fellow-men, they aroused an opposition in this country that sent it groveling into tbe dust like Lucifer from heaven. [Applause.] The samo will bo true wim the whisky business, now that they aro assuming to control the politics of the country ami violate our laws, human and Divine. [Great applause.] We must go on conquering, until tho nation is as 'free from the stain of intoxication as it is from the stain of human slavery. [Loud applause.]

Now, liuiies and gontieinen, while tho manufacture of liquor has increased in this country, there bus been a corresponding decrease in tbe products of tho country. What I will now state may be somowhat startling, but 1 will prove it. In the year 1860. with a population of 31,000,000, wo raised of the cereals, 1 239.039,903 bushels—nearly 40 bushels to every inhabitant of the country. In 1860 with a population of 38,000,000, we raised 1,880,449,143 bushels, or something over thirty-six bushels per capita. So tho increase of liquor means a decrease of the productives ol the country. And yet wo boast of our wonderful progress and prosperity. We have actually declined iu the quantities of grain produced 10 per cent, in one decado, and increased in the samo time 25 per cent, in the manufacture and consumption of liquor and its concomitant evils. It seems high litre that tho political economists should take bold of tbe subject and strive to provide means for the public saf-^y. We have in tho meantime witnessed an awiul increase in pauperism and crimo

Wo come now to consider the cost to tlio United States of this traffic: We jay in gold for foreign liquors at wholesale rates $28,500,000 we consume 324,000,000 gallons of beer, $72,690,000. We drink 100,020,000 gallons of spirits, which cost us $250,000,000. Total cost to tho country $340,500,000. But suppose wo did ifot necessarily cotisume this enormous amount of liquor, but on the other hand took the grain necessary to make it to foreign countries ana sold It in the markets of the world. Then, in place of being $340,500,000 out of pocket, we would have the value of -the, grain,. $00,000,000. in pocktt So that our liquor costs the country $400,000,000 per tinnum, or $10 per beiid for every man woman-and child in the nation. When we speak of $400,000,000 of money we do not appreciate the figures. They convey ta our minds no idea or conception of the stupendous Vnm, Thero aro len States iu the Union whose total assessed value, personal, real and mixed, as the lawyefrs call it, exceed this sum. In one year wo drink up Arkansas, Delawaro, Florida, Nebraska, Oregon, Nevada and Kaesas in the next year we guz7.1t'North Carolina, Sooth Carolina and Minnesota. We driuk up Louisiana in seven months aud thirteeu days, and then* have money enough left to buy hor entire crop of sugar to sweetten tbe (.rog vmi, whieh w«tdevour Kentecky the next year. [Continuous laughter.] At this rate we would, in 33 vears, rival the snake that sw«llowed*Tt"seIf. [Applause"!

But let us look at tho matter froiu another standpoint: Ev^ry bushel of grain manufactured 'into whisky is that in^oli tak-n from the food of tbe nation—from tho substance of the coutitry—and makes' Tread a«id" meat by that much tbe scarcer, and in consequence that much dearer. Tbe grain which we make ipto wblsky would, at 15 bushels to the hog, fat 666,000,000 pounds of Pork, to go the vrhoie hdg on ft, [laughter,] or 130.pounds to every voter. Stop

$tbis

worse than waste of graiu and of necessity the price of the staple articles of the nation wjli.decline proof, In

of it I make tbe rather startling statement that while tbe manufacture of whisky baa steadily, increased, tbe number of boas and cattle in the country has steadily diminished. In the last ten years there has been a clear lorn in hogs of 8,620,090, of cattle, 1.809,421. What is the reason of this? This blasting and destroying liquor traffic. Tho grain which should have furnished tbe food for the animals of the country, has been changed by this awful alchemy of the still into poison for the death ofthe nation. Here then, ladies and gentlemen, yon pay tribute to your lords and masters, the saloon keepers. II igh prices for tbo actual necessitis of life. Every where thero is a demand for higher wages, and the laboring millions of America declare that thoy cannot live on their pay. What is the cause It is distilled Into whisky, and the laboring men pay their money to purchase the poison. Then tbls perversion of tbe burvest leaves less of.bread aud meat for man. Of course the prices advance as tbe quantity is diminished, and tbe demand unabated. If the mannfacturer advance the wages ol his employes in this country he cannot compieto witb the foreign manufacturers, who pay small wages, because the cost ol living of laborers is small. High prices for living necessitates high wages, and high wages means high prices for manufactured articles, and high prices for American goods in competition with low prices on foreign gobds means tho closing up of American manufacturers, and waut, wretchedness and bread riots In this country. Laboring men of America, you feed the monster that devours you. [Sensation.] Ho takes of yoer substance, then be takes of your wages for tbe whisky which ho has distilled from that of which he had previously robbod you. Thus witb a double-headed spear be impales you thus witb a twoedged sword he smites you down thus with two vials he pours misery, want and wretchednoss upon tho defenseless heads of your wives and children, fAgitation.] What is the remedy? Demand with your millions of tongues —ballots—that whisky shall cease to consumo the couutry'a substance vow that you will not thus bo robbed. Strlko at tbe root of tho evil—the distillery make the manufacture of liquor unprofitable, and ihen thero will be a cessation of It.

The distiller is your direst foo. You feed their roaring furnaces, and the black cloud of their ascending sincke is the pall which bangs over your lives, and shuts out the suullght from vour homes, and shadows your hearthstones with its own infernal gloom. Down with tbo distillers. [Applause.] Tbey make you brutes that they may make you boggars they bind your children to the fate of ignorance and vice, and your wives to toil without hopo in the world, and destroy your immortal destiny.

Tho Grangers and the temperance men should striko hands. I understand that they have done so hero. [Applause.] What God hnth Joined together let 110 man put asunder. [Applause.] When I think of iho vast productive capacity of our country, and then contemplate bow we pervert tho blessings of Alinighty God, I confess I tremble lest our ingratitude arouse the wrath of the Giver of all good gifts, and tho scourgo of faininoshall be sent to chasten us. Right here in Amorica, tho granary of the world, where scarcely limit can bo placed to tho productive capacity of our country, thero irocs up a cry for the actual necessities of life. Beautiful to behold aro tho fields of grain which grow golden under the sunshine of Juno, waiving under tho tender touch and pressure of tlio summer winds, or falling to the music of the reapers' song, the wealth and treasuro of tho nation, munificent gift of tho God of the harvest to the hunnry millions of mankind. Pleasant to tho sight are tho broad cornfields which nod their gorgeous plumes to tho autumn skies and fill our barns with plenty. [Applauso.] But damned, forever damned, be the agency which changes the fair angel of tho harvest Into the thrice damned devil of the still. [Great applause.] Accursed bo tho skill whicli can forgo out of tho lavish and bonoflcient gift of God, a rod with which to scourgo tho nations or a baneful demon to poison tho very fountain of happiness in a million homes. Yet how submissively quiet wo are to this terlrblo rule. If tho hoavens should become as brass, and tho clouds slied forth no baptism from heaven on our parched fields, and drowth come down and cut off our harvest to the same extent as the stills destroy, millions of cheeks would pale at the thought of famine, and from every altar in tho land would ascend the prayoisofour appalled poople. But who prays that tho distillers may be closed up and the harvost saved from their destroying grasp. Let tho American people bowaro. A nation of drunkards cannot be a nation of freemen. Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. Resources and capacity to produce do not mako a nation great when her eons have shrunken from the measuro of giants to the stature of pigmies. ^ot...hr°.!Ul

These carrv her fl igs over all seas, to all shores, giving her renpect abroad, peace and plenty at homo. [Great applause.]

But tlio heaviest cost to 11s of tho traffic is in human life. Sixty thousand die annually from it. On, on march tho 60,000 unfortunates, crimsoned with criirio. their souls burdened with remorse under the black banners Of rum. From the Innocence-of childhood to the shame and disgrace of blighted manhood, the dispair of the poor house or the prison, finally sleeping the sleep of shame in the Potter's field. Tlie.v drop into tho druukard's grave in this country at tlio rate of 500 per month, ICG per day, 7 per hour, 9 while I speak. [Agitation.] How it startles us to hoar tho report that the cholera has loft its lair in the East 011 its mission of destruction. How wo tremble and seek to stay its course, yet tbougli this traffic is more destructive, we are quiet and submissive.

The ono evil Is faraway, thoothorls right hero in our homos violating their' hospitality. In silence theawful work isdone.' When tbe drunkard dies bis remorseful moans and desparing shrieks do not reach our ears. Go to tbe grave of every drunkard and you may safely write ou the head-board,.if you are so fortunate as to find om— "some body's darling lira buried here." Where are those who mado up the last year's army of 00,000? Oh where are those who will make up this year's (30,000? My sister, tho babe on your breast must pass tho foarful ordoal of the draft npon our nation lo fill this falling armv. Wives, some of you may feel your very heart strings snapping In mortal agony as you behold a rival as entrancing and enthralling as the Peri, rise and with deadly blandishments win away from you your husband, to whom you made tiio^fearfui tender of your earthly happiness at the altar. Some of you may wear the weeds of a drunkard's widow. [Agifati«n among tho wives whose husbands are ill tho habit or taking apij.] From your husbaads, sons and brothers, mysistea-s, the phantom army may be recruited. And vet we hanr men talking of the distilleries as public blessings.

Mr. Talbott continued at length, paying high tribute to the women's movement, and concluding as follows

Let us strike oiT this thraldom, by striking at tbe root of tho evil. R!s» in the majesty of your might, a million men ana women, to tho rescue. Come and we will march under tho bannerol the Baxter bill, [applause] first swearing allegiance to it, and convince the world that we do not fear the fierce bulldogs of tho distilleries. Like Hercules, let's throttle tbem while tbey guard tbe gates of tbe whisky bell. [Great applause.] Palsy tho hand that would sign a petition burst the heart that would grow faint At their threats, or soften to their bribes.

An Attempt to Fst iblish Saloon in Clinton Fails

1? %i

Anotli?r

:it The Power of Persuasion.

It will bo borno In the mind of the constant readers of tho Gazkttk that tho last saloon I11 Clinton was closed out by tho crusaders last Friday, und that tho ovont was observed by a coTobratlon, iu which Rev. Brakoman participated. IIis and other addresses wero delivered in the grove on tho afternoou of that date, aud in tlio evening other addresses were dellvorod in tlie church. The proprietor of tlio last saloon participated in tho genoral rejoicing. Saturday eveuing Mr. Talbott dolivered an addresB thero, detailing his oxporienco with the worm of the still, a largo audience boing present. He was to have delivered another addross thero Sunday morning, but an attack of tho chills and. fever prevented. So, in the evening, thero boing no train coining to Terre Ilauto, ho was brought hero in a buggy by a citizen of Clinton. In tho morning of yesterday it was rumored in church cfrclos that uii attcpipt was being mado to establish another saloon in tho town. At the afternoon Sunday school services the rumor was reported, and a committee appointed to ascertain its truthfulness, and if necessary, to have 011 interview wilh tho adventurer, and if possible, dissuade him from bispurposo. Meantime, it haviiiK beon ascertained by somo of tho Odd Fellows that tho man was a'member of the order, some of litem went to him and soon prevailed upon him not to act directly In opposition to the will of tho citizons of Clinton. Ilo said if he could reach Torre Hauto In time ho would countermand hia order for tho liquor. Thero being no train In lime, Mr. John Campbell volunteered to como to tho city with his own tedm, and carry the gentleman that hu might do as desired. Ilo did so, und they arrived in tbo city about midnight, and this morning the ordor was coufi termanded, and Clinton will probably hnve another rejoicing. ,y

FOOLING ABOUND THE CABS,

Ar.d tho Almost IneTitnble Result of the lolly. The Ga/.kttk has often taken occasion to warn boys of tho danger attending all attempts, lojutnp oalo-«ncl off of moving trains yet tho practice provalis to a great extent in tbe city. We havo a case to cite that is something practical in its nature,that msy bo more effective than words of warning. For soino time tho boys of Br.izll and Tvfttyritsvmn tiTT-o-tbo habit of hunting on to moving trains of the Vandalia, despite tbe ut'most endeavors of tho train men to prevent. Monday the sequel caino, costing a boy named Bennett his life. Ilo was hanging on to a moving trHln, and fell between tho cars and was mangled into a mass. The train moved on, tlio men unconscious of the tragody until a crowd commenced to collect on the scene.

In this connection the Express says that this is tho second boy who has been killed in nearly tlio same way at nearly the satnoplaeo within a year It Is a wonder that more are not killed, for from tho time tbo trains leave Staunton until they reach Knightsville, thoy are beset by a crowd of boys, rolling 011 and'off, and maklnig themselves as disagreeable as possible. Tbey are the terror of train mert. There is no use of sayinc that tho train men could keepth*m off, because it is Impossible for them td do so they often drive them off, but tho only thanks they get is torrent of abuse and a rock shied at tbein Those boys are warned by the railroad employees to keep off, and Ihey^aro entreated, ordered and adjnrfd to stay off, but all :o no purjKise. There is not much sympathy to be expended over a victim to tn accident caused by his own perverse-
