They've Quit Selling Liquor in Town.
Here's news for von, mother, the old farmer said.
As he paused where his good wife was moulding
the brt-ad;
I've been talking awhile with our neighbor Brown
And he save they've stopped selling liquor in town,
I jutt took off niy hat and shouted huzza.
When he said men had to live up to the law;
And I kuew it would make your bear happy to
know.
They have dried up the fountain of madness aud
woe.
Now the town will be peaceful once again,
And the streets won't be crowded with wild,
drunken men,
And the boys wont be tempted to smoke drink and
fight.
To gamble all day aud carouse all night.
There's Jane, bless her heart, she will dance like a
top,
For she can go back now and sew in the chop;
It wont be nnsafe for her now, I am sure,
For thougn she is thonghtless, the child's heart is
pure.
Yon needn't buy things at the Corners no more,
For 111 send Sam to town to the big dry goods
store,
He wont come home drunk with the buggy broke
down,
For I tell yon they have stopped selling liquor in
town.
There's Jim, he won't study anddon't take to work.
We can let hiin go now and hire out for a clerk,
It will do tlie boy good, he'll find out it aint play,
And there ain't any grog shops to lead him astray.
And there's little Peter, you know how he learns,
And how he eaves every penny he earns,
To buy a new book, and the hoy's got a plan
That he'll be a lawyer when he is a man.
So if you are willing to venture, I think
We will send him to town now, he won't learn to
drink.
They've got a good school, and he'll learn very fast,
I'm glad they have stopped selling honor at last.
He paused, and the wife of his youth made reply,
While joy sent the tear drops like pearls from her
eye,
Heaven bless the pnrc hearts that have put this
curse down;
Thank God they have quit selling liquor in town.
They've Quit Selling Liquor in Town. Selected Story.
Kitty Ward's Resolution.
For two years Kitty Ward had
been earnestly striving to be good.
She desired beyond all things, to be
pure in heart, true in motive, single
purpose. But the result did not
satisfy her. To her very great
mortification she was forced to see
that the real obstacle was self-love.
The issue of all this was the follow
ing insertion in her diary: "Kesolv
ed, with the help of heaven, I will
seek to do good where and in what
degree I can, without any thought
hope of reward or return in any
way."
Here a voice from an adjoining
room called, 'Kitty, love ! "
" l es, dear mother," returned the
young girl.
"Here are two invitations for vou.
Come for them."
Kitty opened one, which ran as
follows :
"Dear Puss: Pack up your pret
tiest dresses, and bring tuem with
your sweet face, over to Woodlawn,
want to borrow you for a month
two. Bring all your supply of
merry smue., bnglit looks, ana win
ning wajs; for the Marceaus, Liv
ingstons and Lees are here. Also,
my dear bas bleu, bring all your wis
dom ; for Ursa Major is coining on
the last of the month. lie cares for
nothing earthly but learning, and
never opens his mouth to a lady
save to growl, fernaps I should
explain. By Ursa Major I mean
Doctor Kandall, the great savant
who, by the way, is also a great
parlt. I will send tne carriage to
station for you. Good-bye.
Cousin Alice."
Tbe second note, from a good old
Quaker aunt of her father's, was in
different strain:
"My Dear Katharine: Will thee
come and stay with thy old aunt for
few weeks? I am sorely afflicted
with rheumatism, and quite helpless
long for thy bright face and cheer
ful voice. If thee will come thee
will be doing a great kindness to
affectionate Afnt Rlth."
Kitty was thoughtful for some
time.
"Mother, what shall I do?" she
asked anxiously.
"what do you wish, my child?
inquired Mrs. Ward.
"Do you not think that Cousin
Sarah would go to Aunt Kuth? " she
said, after a pause.
' v ery likely, replied her mother.
"O, mother," exclaimed Kitty ea
gerly. "I should like so much to go
Woodlawn! It is so delightful
there! The company is always re
fined, intelligent and entertaining.
And Doctor Eandall is to be there.
has been abroad for years, en
gaged in scientific researches con
nected with his profession. He
knows everything! "
Mrs. ard saw very well the
struggle her daughter was undergo
but she only said, "Decide for
yourself, my dear," and left her.
Kitty ran up-stairs, fully deter
mined to go to Woodlawn, but the
object that met her gaze was
diary and the resolution.
J hen commenced a sharp conflict.
many and varied delights of
Woodlawn passed before her the
rides, the excursions, the boating
parties, the fcl.es of all kinds and
elegance anil refinement of its
surroundings; and in strong con
trast was jiatient, BuHeriny: Aunt
Ruth, in her quiet little home, wid
owed and childless for years, with
company nothing cheerful.
"Well, now, if ever there is a
chance to act upon my new resolu
To avoid further temptation, Kit
wrote a letter full of regrets to
Cousin Alice, and one of acceptance
Aunt Ruth.
Aunt Ruth took oft" her spectacles
wiped her eyes when she read
Kitty's note, and said, "The blessed
child ! " and then handed it to the
physician by her bedside. Thi3
physician, a quiet looking gentle
man, rilh a broad, white forehead,
was the child of a dear, early friend
Aunt Ruth's.
Kitty carac at the appointed time,
and within a week the house was a
changed place. The doors and win
dows were opeaed the sweet air
and sunshine let io. Boquets were
scattered here and there, freshly ar
ranged each day. The rigid ar
rangement of the furniture wa3
broken. Aunt Ruth's old piano was
tuned, and drawn up near the door
her room, that Kitty might sing
her. Aunt Ruth's good old heart
was greatly rejoiced by all this
change, and the doctor wondered
it

greatly. He saw the effect, and
knew Kitty to be the cause, but the
means were to him a mystery. From
day to day he wondered what changes
such a bright spirit would make in
his grand, but sombre old place, a
mile or two distant.
Nothing could excelKitty's amaze
ment when she found that Aunt
Ruth's friend, to whom she had writ
ten so often, of whom she talked so
much, was the doctor. She did not
talk much in his presence, for she
stood in real awe of him ; but her
delight was unspeakable in listening
to uis conversation with Aunt Ruth
His vast knowledge, his varied ex
penence, his nobie ideas were won
derful to her, and she congratulated
herself that she knew him so much
better here than she could have
known him at Woodlawn.
To the doctor Kitty was a rsvela
tion. He had never had much time
or opportunity for enjoying the so
ciety of ladies. He was not at all
versed in their ways or manners.
He thought Kitty's beaming face
was like sunshine; her merry laugh
like rippling waters, her voice like
sweet melody. He noted her wo
manly ways, her gentleness, her
kindness. He found her " never
weary of well-doing, never seeking
her own ease.
It fell out as Kitty had predicted,
Aunt Ruth grew rapidly better. So,
after all, Kitty went to Woodlawn
about the time that Doctor Randall
did. But, for some reason, she did
not enjoy it as she had in former
times. Everything lacked tone and
interest, and she looked back with a
sigh to the quiet conversations in
Aunt Ruth's sick-room. She saw
but little of Doctor Randall. He
seemed engrossed by the gentlemen.
The fact was, he avoided her; for,
when he saw her so sought after by
her young friends, no party being
complete iwithout her, the delight
and joy of all, he began to fear that
the society of a dull student like
himself must be irksome, and he
only then discovered what it would
be to him to have her always.
lowards the c'ose of the visit
Doctor Randall proposed that the
party should transfer themselves to
his place for s week or so. This in
vitation was hailed with delight; for
Randall Place.with its majestic trees,
beautiful views, long avenues, grassy
lawns, and, above all, grand, mysteri
ous rooms, closed since his mother's
death, were objects of interest to
all. Not the smallest of Kittv's
pleasure wa3 that she found dear
Aunt Ruth there. But yet Kitty
carried a dreary heart the while; for
seemed to her that all her interest
life was concentered in this one
spot, and yet how soon she was to
leave it perhaps forever !
One day Doctor Randall sat in his
library alone, his head buried in hia
hands. Aunt Ruth came softly in.
She saw his look of utter wretched
ness. "Thee ought to be a happy man,
Hugh Randall, with these broad
lands, and thy opportunities of do
ing good. But thee does not look
.
"Aunt Ruth, I would give all of
this for the one little ewe lamb that
not mine."
"What dost thee mean? "
"I mean that my selfish heart
pines for your little Kitty." .
Aunt Ruth walked out of the li
brary with more celerity than her
aged body usually permitted, went
Kitty's room, in a manner that
might be called excited, and said:
"Katharine, go to the library; the
doctor has need of thee."
Kitty hastened, a little alarmed.
"Aunt Ruth says you want me,
Doctor Randall."
"I do want you, I do. What else
did she tell you? That my whole be
ing is crying out for you, that my
heart is hungry and insatiable? But
did not intend to disturb your
happy life I did not intend this
knowledge to come to you."
Kitty turned her sweet, true face
full upon him.
"Doctor Randall, in all the world
there is nothing I would rather have
than your love."
She has been his wife now for six
months.
Mrs. Randall is a good and noble
woman, Doctor Randall is a good
and noble man; and there is no rea
why they should not lead good
and noble lives. Aunt Ruth has
closed her little house, and is their
honored guest K'.ty still strives
earnestly to isep her resolution,

der of our "stamps" again make the
hills ring as we gather our golden
bricks.
One excitement follows another
there as here, and with about the
same result. Some timo ago the
Grangers were going to have free
passage and freight They were go
ing to make railroads run' at their
figures, and oppose capital in all
forms. They have succeeded in
scaring European capital from 'the
United States, and perhaps killed
the present our Texas Pacific
Railroad. The millions yearly in
vested in our mines can now be
counted by hundreds. It will take
many years before California and
Nevada will recover from the dam
age caused by the raid against
monopolies. Result No building
railroads or other public enterprises,
our iron works closed, manufactories
curtailed, mining continued on a
small scale, while the poor ignorant
devil that has joined in the crusade
against capital, is turned out of em
ploy, his family perhaps to suffer
for want of bread because there is
no business doing. But he belongs
to the Oranges :
Next comes the Whisky Crusade,
We were promised in San Diego that
we should have our egg nog, mint
julips aud gin cocktails served up
with prayer (wouldn't it be nice)
but the spiritualists and woman's
rijhtcrs have taken the whole mat
ter in San Francisco into their own
hands and will not allow any man to
attend their meetings or assist them.
They will not even allow a reporter
inside of their hall and it is extreme
ly doubtful if they would accept as
sistance from the blessed Savior,
simply because he was of the mas
culine gender. So I suppose the
excitement will soon run to a point
on this coast.
The law prohibits the promiscu
ous manufacture and sale of strych
nine arsenic aand other poisons, and
as it is the duty of government to
protect its citizens against such
poisons, it has always been a matter
of doubt in my mlud whether gov
ernment has a right to permit the
distilling and promiscuous sale of a
poison just as deadly, and far more
disastrous and damning in its re
suits. Alcohol just as surely kills
as arsenic, and carries the disaster
further to the helpless wile and
children, spreading destruction all
around its votaries. But that gov
ernment can license the rum seller
to distribute this wretchedness, and
then protect women, or anybody
else in besieging his rum shop until
he is compelled to shut up or abate
the nuhance is hardly fair, while it
is yet jingling his last quarter s li
cense money in its pocket. If the
good women depended upon the help
ol God through prayer could not
such aid be brought to bear a3 ef
fectually in their churches, a3 to
have respectable ladies tramping
through the streets visiting all the
haunts of vice and infamy like a
band of lunatics fresh from an asy
lum.'' it looks too much like the
Pharisee that prayed at the corner
of the streets. But excitement like
the small pox must have its run.
The women of our city served no
tices on some of the rum shops but
failed to come to time from want of
cheek.
I shall watch the Journal with
interest on the present excitement
as well as on other topics.

EDITORIAL COMMENTS.
Well, now. What shall we say of
our correspondent? That he is not
a lover of women? But he is. That
he does not believe they are entitled
to respect in the exercise of certain
rights? We can hardly think that
of him. That he does not believe
in granting political rights and elec
tive franchises to women, and there
fore condemns everything of a pub
lic nature in which they engage, be
cause it is "undignified" in his esti
mation? Would yon believe it, kind
sir, one of the ladies from Findlay
who spoke at the Wednesday night
meeting, alluding to this change
said: "you need not think because
we carry forward this cause, and be
cause we speak in public against
this evil, that therefore we are 'wo
men's rights women.' I only know
ol three women in Pindlay who
want the right to vote. We have
all the rights we want, and we are
willing our husbands and brothers
should do the voting." Now what
do you think of that. Incorrigible?
We felt a little incredulous but in
voluntarily said "Amen," and it gave
us a higher estimation of the cru
saders than we had had before, and
greater assurance of their devo
tion to the cause from pure and ex
alted motives. If the women of San
Diego lacked cheek, a3 our corres
pondent expresses it, they lacked the
grandest element of the female
character, if check induces them to
do as they have done elsewhere and
as they are doing here. The best
women of our city are engaged in
this work. They engage in it with
pure hearts and clean hands, and are
not defiled by the visitations -they
make. But what a confession for
man to make, 1. e., that men cannot
visit such places without being de
filed, and yet are found among the
supporters, justifiers, excusors, pal-
liators of such " haunts of vice and
infamy." Women can and do, and
when they do they elevate the char
acter of the places, and men unused
to reverence frequently bow their
heads in contrition, and drop the
tear of sorrow over the record of
heir past They do it without
boasting, as they do it without fear,
and we venture the assertion that if
ever our correspondent get3 into a
meeting where these praying women
assemble to worship, whether in a
street or in a hall, whether in a sa
loon or in a chapel, the true man
hood of his nature will rise above
his prejudice and he will be ready
confess that his estimate was all
wrong and that there is nothing de
grading or unfeminine in the pro
ceeding.
Let the Pharisees go, man. Re
member that he who condemned
them drew around him vast multi
tudes and taught them and prayed
with and for them. He taught great
truths and enforced hi3 precepts by
example, and when he found the
crowd so ready to condemn to exe
cution, his quiet " let him who is
without sin among you, cast the first
stone," dispersed the loud assailers
so rapidly that evidently no one
knew which way his neighbor went.
But it is the same way in every
thing. We never knew a man who
thought every one else guilty of
corruption and dishonesty, but as
heartily believed himseli to be the
only honest man in the community,
though he may have set the law at
defiance every day, because he held

"The Great Dollar Store" is at 9o Summit

thing and everything at unprecedented low
prices. Look in to be convinced.
The all day prayer meeting, on Thursday
of last week was well attended, especially in
the afternoon, and those present speak of it
as one of the most remarkable meetings ever
held in our city. The ladies still continue
their visiting and among the results may be
mentioned that nearly all tbe saloous are now
selling only by the quantity, and several have
discontinued the sale of liquor altogether,
still selling beer and ale. If nothing mora
than this should be accomplished, it is a great
thing for Fremont, but it is rery evident the
work will produce greater results than these.

A Word about Sewing Machines.
Editoe Fbemoht Jouexal : I may, or
may not be deemed eccentric in my notions,
but being somewhat a devotee at the shrine of
mechanical ingenuity, I have long taken great
interest in Sewing Machines, and pride my
self ui a knowledge, to a considerable extent,
most of the machines at present in use.
True, there are many good ones, but my ex
perience leads me iiemly to tin conviction
that your late excellent article on the "Ameri
can Machine," represented by Mr. E. H.
Harrington, C3 Madison street, Toledo, was
not only perfectly correct but even failed to
give the machine in question sufficient recom
mendation in accordance with iU many su
perlative points of excellence. I was, in
consequence of your article, lead to inspect
the machine thoronghJj-jaud I find it is simple,
durable, and always ready to work. The
simple manner in which the machine is thread
ed makes it easy of accomplishment by the
most inexperienced there being no holes to
thread either above, or in the shuttle. This
an especial point of superiority over any
competing machine irTthe field. The shuttle
requires no threading, being ready to work as
soon as the bobbin is placed in it. If the Ma
chine is accidently turned backward it does
no harm and breaks no thread or needle.
The "American is a new and successful
candidate for household favor, and although
recently introduced, it ha3 become a formida
ble power in the race of Sewing Machine
Competition; and in Toledo and adjacent
markets it has attained a success and dignity
the amount of its sales equalling the oldest
machine manufactured. 1 am informed by
the General Agent that there is in ihis vicini
ty territory unoccupied, and liberal terms will
given a live man who will energetically
represent the "American" in Fremont, upon
application to the Toledo office, as above.

Spunky. The saloonists of Clyde have
got their backs up, and have passed a series
resolutions setting forth that they will quit
selling liquor, or giving it away or in any
way handling it, as long as they please, i. e.,
indefinitely. And they have resolved, boy
like, that they will not trade with any one
who has been engaged in, or favored the cru
sade, nor will they allow any one else to do to
they can help it (that was well put in, "if
they can help it.") And t' showed their
grit, one day las, week, " --ing hold of a
man who wanted to pu-.je some garden
seeds, which they didn't have to sell, and
rather than permit him to spend his fifteen
cents with a Clyde merchant, drove him over
our city and allowed him to invest the
amount with our dealers, then drove him
home again, paying more toll than the
man paid for seeds. Of course, our merch
ants will be pleased to sell their goods no
matter to whom, but that policy is the most
striking exemplification of the ada&e "biting
the nose to spite the face," that we ever
remember.
W e Looked with Admiration at a stock

Th ere never was a time when our city was
full of tramps. Every day they visit our
citizens begging for help or something to eat.
While it is hard to turn them away it :s
equally hard to be imposed upon so much,and
city authorities should adopt steps for
taking caro of such parties. Occasionally
there is one who is willing to work, but the
great proportion are idle loungers who desire
only to subsist without work. One of this
kind called on one of our citizens a few eve
nings ago, and begged to be allowed to stay
over night. Ha was furnished a bed and
breakfast and then offered a dollar if be would

While in Toledo, last week, we dropped in
tothe important and popular establishment of
Frost & Williams, and were beyond measure
surprised to observe the extensive and diver
sified trade conducted therein. Our previous
conception of this famous house was simply to
recognize it in point of magnitude and stand
ing in common with adjacent stores, but nnnn
personal inspection thereof we must confess
our observations soon enabled us to draw such
conclusions as unquestionably pliced the "City
Wall Paper Store" in its proper light pre-eminently
the institution of its kind in the city,
as its popular name so justly implies. The
combined business carried on is in ladies' fur
nishing aad fancy goods, window shades, lace
curtains, plain and decorative wall paper.

found Victoria lawns, plain nainsooks, striped

canvas and canvas materials. By the way.we
may here remark that Frost Jfc Williams are
the only house in the city offering Bergman's
celebrated zephyr wools, in every color and
shade at 15c per ounce. They have a large
variety of perforated paper in gold and silver,
also canvas Java, honey-comb, white and
colored and for a magnificent display of
embroidery, no house in the city can eclipse
them. Of sunshades and parasols, in every
shade adapted to the season, with elaborately
finished handles and the most durable frames,
their stock certainly takes the lead, as also in
a full line of perfumery, brushes, combs and
other elaborate toilet articles, &c In

vor with the public who can form anything
like a correct estimate of the immense trade
that institution is doing. An inspection of its
stock, however, will afford every assurance in
this direction, while the class of goods regu
larly here submitted has alike contributed
much to establish the high reputation and
popularity of Frost & Williams. They regu
larly keep apace with the tastes of th times,
and the markets, and no sooner does a novelty
in any shape present itself than yon may find
it on their shelves. We were literallv struck
with the thousands upon thousands of pat
terns and designs their various paper racks
contain, and have no hesitation in savin?
. a
they have the largest and most "select stock in
the city. Eicher specimens in fine gold, bronze
and even common papers, we have never be
fore seen their tints for halls, dining rooms
and offices being also equally numerous and
delicate in their effect. We were further
shown samples of their elaborate decorations
for churches, halls and public institutions,
which are mounted on large screens, and show
to marvelously good effect being admira
bly adapted to use in coujunction with the
rich finish imparted by fresco decoration. Nor
are they less prepared to give universal satis
faction in window shades, fixtures and shade
materials in fact they make a specialty of
store shades, and parties out of the city could
not do better than sead for their price list.
They keep men regularly engaged in hanging
paper, and it is not unfrequently they have au
order for so many as 1,000 rolls for one resi

the majority of the first-class trade in this
line throughout the city and environs. Next

place, close the lips of the wound
with the hand, and hold them firmly
together to check the flow of blood
until several stitches can be taken
and a bandage applied. Then bathe
the wound for s long time ia cold
water. "Should it be painful", a
correspondent says, "take common
brown sugar and hold the wounded
part in the smoke. In a few minutes
the pain will be allayed. In my

The Shanghai Chamber of Com
merce recently had under considera
tion the relative merits of English
and American cotton goods import
ed into China. The matter was
thoroughly investigated and discuss
ed, with highly instructive results.
Leading . brands of English aud
American brown drills were weighed,
then washed out and weighed again,
and the differences noted. The result
rwas the discovery that the loss by
washing of the English cottons aver
aged over thirty-four per cent and of
the American less than five per cent.
The English goods are tilled with
clay sizing, in order to increase the
weight and thickness. When washed
out, the apparently full-bodied arti
cle becomes a thin poor-textured.

rotting rapidly from the destructive

Vice President by a direct popular

entirely divest it of a partizan char

receive impartial treatment in tue
Senate. A few of its important

The present plan of allowing each
State two votes at large is to be re

such votes to be cast for the anui

equal to its Congressional represen
tation in the lower house. The can
didate receiving a plurality of tlie
votes of any district shail be enti
