07" A small band of drunken lsafers
in procession straggled, staggering by our
otnce yesterday, bearing a piece ot can
yass, inscribed "Hurrah for Liquors
and Temperance Campaign." ' They
were lead by a stout individual, who
brandished a naked sword, and a per
former on an accordian, who made dole
ful musio. At a neighboring coffee
house they stopped, formed' a line, drank
a keg of. beer, and then swaggered on.
It was the most disgusting spectacle we
have witnessed far a long time. tin.

, ; Suppose you sekloru see such scenes
in Cincinnati, Mr. Commercial? Moral
suasion is making terrible havoc among
' liquor Irafficers, is'nt it ? Wonder- bow
long it will be before this darling reme
dy of yours will remove these "disgust
ing spectacles"' front our city? v Apro
hibitory law would'nt answer In cases of
this' kind? Oh! no. ; It ' would f deprive
these men of their "free agency';'' it
would rob these free Americans of their
glorious independence. ' Moral suasion
is the thing. Go right; up to the fellows
when they are swilling down ther beer
and appeal to their better understanding;
persuade them that they had better 'not
drink the stuff.- That's the way to" re
form them. M Don't take the roundabout
way of pouring out the liquor, and re
moving it from their sight j. for what hurt
will it do if they will only just let, it
alone and not touch it.. You have done
a good share, JHr., Commercial, toward
.defeating a prohibitory law. You have
the field two years longer in which, to
exemplify the availability of moral sua
sion. We hope you will not permit the
reputation of this '."favorite child'' of
yours to suffer. .' , ' ' ' ' ,'

"The Mysterious Parchment, or Sa

We have just finished a hasty peru
sal of this book. It is an exceedingly
interesting tale, into which are intro
duced, in an ingenious manner, a va
riety of arguments for and against the
liquor traffic, exhibiting in striking
contrast the comparative insignifi
cance of the one and the imposing
stupendousness of the other. It por
trays, faithfully and vividly, the sure
and steady work of destruction wich
attends the introduction of alcoholic
drinks as a beverage into a commu
nity. We hope it will be read by
every one, and we cannot but believe
'that great and good results will fol
low. It is published by Jewett, Proc
