Womea’'s Christian Temperance Union, International Series; temperance view; a praying mother.—1 Sam. 1. 28. Intemperance isa very old habit both among men and wemen. Eli would not have so readily charged Hannah with intoxi- cation if it had been something uncommen, The existence of two abstinence orvaniza- tions recognized the need of restraint, to fit them for the service of God as the vow of the Naravite did, and the vow of the Rechibite bringing upon those men, thus distinguished, the rich, abiding blessing of heaven. If these vows were advantageous then, surely their need is not diminished in this, our day, when years and practice have increased the evil a thousand fold. Let this charge to Hannah descend to every woman of the land, not only to abstain our- selves but use our influence to banish the whole mischief from our midst. Our lesson inculeates the duty and privilege of prayer. Hannah prayed a real prayer, heartfelt, agonizing, prayed in faith and persevered; her’s proved prevailing prayer. Why are so many of our prayers unanss wered? Because they lack largely these | essentials ; luke-warm, easily restrained prayer, will not avail. In our work as temperance women we must be more whole- souled ; pray for the removal of that which is the blight of our homes and country, we know we must be in accordance with the will of God; to have this great stumbling block to the pure and blessed religion of Jesus, thrust for ever from our land; for this let us pray like Hannah, vowing also a vow like hers that brands plucked from the burning by being delivered from this thraldom shall by rejoicing grateful mothers be lent as long as they live unto the Lord. “‘Clazk’s Fork, the matchless river with the dull name has kept us company most of the day. It comes from the mountains yjand is of a lovely emerald hue; so clear, deep forceful as to be a perpetual fascination tothe eye. We have spirited groves worthy the choicest English lawn, looked up towards mountains colossal as imagination’s dream, gazed into skies cerulean as the eyes of innocence, and been so glad and grateful to be patives of this wonderful America and to think after Him these lofty thoughts of God. We have passed through Indian reservations and seen the strange faced human plants indigenous. Just now as we passed the Flat Head reservation, the S@arthy Chief leaped from his upon our train, and Anna Gordon, with an eye upon her cabinet at home, sheedled him out of his big ear-ring (he had but one) at the rate of four bits and no words spoken. This northern 1road reveals contrast of refreshing sharpness and variety. It will be a great surprise to our country’s aver- age tourist, as the quiet Oregonians say it is the dream of forty years fulfilled. When the noble pioneers, the best blood of the East, made their pilgrim way—five months in duration—to far away Oregon, Heary Villard was a boy in school; the almond- eyed Chinese, who have laid this smooth, solid road-bed, were babes in arms; the iron rails were crude ore in distant mines; the ample ties were growing in these mighty forests, upon these mountain sides, any tree of which would be a glory to our eastern forests, any hill of which the nucleus for a juide book and summer touring place. Leadership came in the inevitable moment when Henry Vil. lard, of Jay Cooke’s misfortunes, brought order out of chaos, went into Wall Street and proved that a man of strict integrity could bear away the prize of a most be- wildering success, from financial jugglers of a life times experience, and gave to our nation its last its best Pacific road. Is there no Providence in this? Rather, what is there in it but Province. Yours, faint but pursuing, Frances E. Weviarp. Extracted from letter in Union Signal entitled Across the Continent.

That itis in these States that the cyclone originates, gathers strength, and finally winds up its career in a grand effort of destruction, is admitted. The only points at issue are, which of the States has the honor of giving birth to the cyclone and which witnesses its dying agonies. Even these points are not seriously disputed.

As between yourself and the Herald 1 have no desire to in- terfere, and it is only to correct a few mis-statements, that I ask for a small space to-day. Lam glad to see that you at last do me justice,when you say that you accepted, ‘“‘from the very jirst,” my statement that I was not the author of the letters signed ‘‘One Per Cent,” and that the actual writer had confided his name to you. Ifthis acknowledgement had been made at the same time, it would have saved a good deal of unpleasant feeling, and would have removed the suspicion attach- ing to me of, to use your own words, “‘say- ing the thing which is not.” You say that one of these communications contained an offensive remark about the Mayor. This is untrue. Ihave searched the letters and have failed to find any such,—the strongest language used might justify the inference that he is unsuited for the position he |holds, an opinion that may be entertained without ill-feeling by any one capable of |judging a man by his actions. You say that I conveyed to the public the impres- sion that I had nothing to do with these letters. My words were that “I was not interested in the scribbling of ‘One Per Cent,’ or any other writer”’—my sole con- nection with them consisting in having copied them in my handwriting for reasons which the author has communicated to you. Granting that 1 was their author and denied it, I hold that you would have no right, even in such a case, to expose the deception. You disclaim all malice towards me, Then why insert your insulting remarks in the Werkty Examiner! You claim that the insertion of my letters show there is no malace. I fail to see it—as you know very well that had you refused their insertion, there are independent papers that would have published them. My character as a Councillor or a candidate therefore is public property, and a journalist is at perfect liberty to express his opinions upon my fitness for a represen- tative man, As yon are so facile in drawing comparisions, a chapter from yonr pen would no doubt contain some brilliant observations upon the calibre of the present City Council. In fact it might be well to dispense with the formal nomination for Cay Cenncillors and to appoint you dittator, whose Yecommendation for such positions would be final and save both people and candidates much trouble. I have never been accused of having a hasty temper, and I have yet to learn that it disqualifies a person for a legislator to perpetrate a pun! As to my ability to say “‘the thing which is not,” I simply reply that ‘‘you’re another” You say that the Liberal-Conservative party waa invoked on my behalf. I was not aware of it and did not do it my- self, and as to prestige of the party soffer- ing by my defeat, you should be the last man to lament it. You have done more to divide the party and bring it into disrepute thaa any other, and when you regret that your remarks did not apply more directly to those who encouraged and supported me, you pay a left handed compliment to several of its prominent men. You speak of my efforts to injure your character. | do not wish to attempt such a herculean task. If my election at first was ‘a joke” you were one of the jokers, for you reeom- mended my candidature. In _ conclud- ing your article you say ‘‘ we sub- mit the case to the judgment of the public, well assured that whether Mr. Chappelle be regarded as the writer, or as not the writer, the verdict will befor Tne Examiner.” The Italics are mine. I am satisfied to leave the case to the same in- telligent jury, but I protest.against the way in which you invite doubt as to my authorship of the letters’ I have denied it, and you say you accepted my denial from the very first and know the name of the author, yet you leave it an open ques- tion before the public whether I am or not. Iam, yours, etc., THeo. L. CHaPpe.e. Ch'town, Sept. 21st, 1883. Political Notes. ‘‘Secesh” is the nom de plume under which » Grit politician in Manitoba is masquerad- ing. The Northwest, he says, is so fear- fully oppressed that there is no remedy but secession. The twenty per cent. is so high that he proposes to unite with a country having a twenty-five per cent. tariff. The Pacific railway, with its twenty-five million acres of land, is so heavily bonused that he proposes ao unite with a country having a Pacific railway bonused with seventy-five million acres of land, So much of the land is locked up by a few energetic colonization companies that he advises the Northwest to throw in its lot with a Republic in which individual owners boast the possession of twenty and thirty millions of acres each. ‘‘Secesh” is evidently a leading Reform politician. His logic betrays him.—-To- } ronto Mail. | ‘The Berlin U!tramontane organ says the | Pope, acting iu harmony with the Prussian | bishops, has, without assenting in principle to the legislative enactments regarding the education of the clergy, consented to grant dispensation for the past, and for this once only.
