A VISIT TO MAMMOTH CAVB. * xF,c r EHcr t ‘oiVknc ” b »n r cl^VlCttc^ 2?IhVSSic and Ao-uorv (From the ChicftgO';.TiiM*.J« ' C1,C.00, August 18. -Will you petmitmb througb the columns of yourpaper to invite attention to some very remarkftWe natoral flirts communicated to me bjr Dr>. H. Halls gmitb, of this city, wMch came ; under his observation during a visit of scientinc re search to that geological freak of nature, the Mammoth Cave. They seem to tw well worthy of record, but. as the DoctotmodesUy intimated, may have been the subject of ob servation by otheiß as well as himself, although,'perhaps, not possessing the same degree Of interest. Keenly alive to every thing, however remotely connected with his favorite profession, the Doctor, it seems, was perfectly astonished at the fixed and chronic state of blindness and deafness, in which he found the permanent inhabitants of the cave. These beings, it appears, are not only without eyes, or even the trace of an orbit,, but, so far as _ could be ascertained by careful and indefatigable, in vcstigtUion, evidently destitute ©f the sense of” hearing. By a casual observer no important deductions might be drawn from a knowledge ef this fact, a rumor of which induced the Doctor to visit the cave, yet to the scientific inquirer into cause and effect, these facts pos sess a peculiar interest, bearing as they do upon a subject which has long been a matter of controser&y among medical men, viz.: Whether the functions of the auditory nerves become impaired by the partial or total depri vation of the natural stimulus, sound, pre cisely as the functions and properties of the optic nerve are diminished or destroyed in proportion as they are deprived of light. For the purpose of satisfying his own mind on this subject, Dr. Smith on one occasion pene trated about four miles into the interior of the cave, and, at some four hundred feet below the surface of the earth, remained “solitary and alone” for a considerable length of time, in the midst of impenetrable darkness, and of a silence agonizing to a degree difficult oi con ception to those who have not made a similar experiment. The effect upon him, he states, was very distressing and almost insupportable, result ing in a very perceptible, although temporary, defection of hearing and aberration of mind. The cause of this is, no doubt, to be attri buted to the total absence of phenomena, such as vibrations of the atmosphere, undulations of light, <fcc., &c., to which we are so accus tomed as to render them a necessary stimulus for the proper preservation of the animal economy, as well as for the normal periorni ances of the functions of the senses. In con firmation of this we are told by Dr. Kane/ Sir John Ross, and other voyagers that, in the Arctic regions, “where eternal silence reigns supreme,” the effect upon the brain and ear from the absence of sonorous impulses in the atmosphere is exceedingly annoying, and absolutely injurious to these organs. Persons having been lost in the Mammoth Cave for one, two or three days, have always been found, when rescued, in a state of temporary insanity; and when approached by the partj* drparties sent to their relief invariably en deavor to hide themselves and thus elude ob seryation. Row, as it is patent to the minds of all, that loud and continued noises will im pair the power of hearing, and finally, pro duce total deafness, even as brilliant and in - tense light will weaken, and, when long con tinued, utterly destroy the power of sight, so also must it be manifest that the auditory nerves only partially losing the influence of their stimulus—sound —will gradually become weakened in their capacity of appropriating anfl appre ciating sonorous waves, and in time become paralyzed and useless. As an illustration of the analogous effects of the opera tion of these causes through a long course of years, the denizens of the cave are not only blind, but without even a trace of the orbit or optic nerve. It is there fore evident that they have been gradually destroyed | through successive generations, and finally-obliterated by long disuse. From these known facts alone, without any evidence further than that derived by a parity of reasoning, I am compelled to infer that the sense of hearing is also wanting in these beings, although originally existing in the specieß when first immured in their living tomb. That denizens of the Mammoth Cave are deficient in the sense of hearing, as well as in sight, Dr. Smith has satisfied himself by a variety of interesting and scientific ex periments. Now, as it is evident that the senses of sight and hearing to the inhabitants of the cave have gradually become extinct and ob literated to the total absence, through a long course of ages, ot their natural stimuli, light and sound, so, beyond doubt, deafness may accrue to individuals who have neglected ‘to itße the ear, or in other words, there are be yond controversy multitudes of persons living with one or' both ears supposed to bo perfectly deaf, and in reality useloss, but which might be rendered very serviceable were the sonorous undulations conveyed to them by artificial means; the nervous system of their ears having 'remained torpid from the feet that ordinary waves of sound had not been able to reach them, owing to the diseased condition of the conducting appara tus, and sometimes to the weakness of the nerves themselves, and not, as in the case of the inhabitants of the cave, from the absence of their pabulum or stimulus, but from want of means or power to receive it. I therefore conclude that the excitement of the nervous apparatus of the ear, through the healthy stimulus of sonorous impulses.artificial means as well as by remedial applications, many persons now supposed to he insurably deaf might be restored to a respectable degree of hearing greatly to be desired by themselves ; as well as by their friends. 8. J. H.\. How Paper Collars are Made. A correspondent describes the process fori making paper collars and cuffs at a factory in Bidcleford, Me. The paper from which they are formed comes in large sheets of the required thickness. Some forty of these sheets are placed one upon another, and then moved under tkef die, which cuts through the whole, giving the requisite shape to forty collars. The paper is then moved un der the die again, add forty more cut, and so on to the end. The buttonholes are next made. Some half-dozen collars are placed under the dies, and the three holes cut in each instantly. Next the collars are placed one at a time under a die or mold which impresses the stitching upon them and marks the line by which the collar is to be turned or doubled. The collars are then doubled or turned one at a time, by band, run through a machine which presses them, and they are finished. They are then packed in boxes of ten each, and ten of these boxes packed in a lai'ger one, when they are ready for market. The culls are cut with dies after the same manner as the collars,’ the buttonholes cut by similar method; then they are- • stitched and then packed lbr market. Three styles ol collar are made—plain, en amel and linen surface, the paper being finished In a particular manner for each of these, different styles. The average size of necks is Mi inches. Some, collars are mad,e U'4 inches long; but most are sold of M l, M and la inches. The present capacity of this . manufactory is 25,000 collars a day; but with a new cutting machine nearly ready, its capacity will hepiore than doubled. Most of of the work is done by temples. Twelve hands are now employed, but in the autumn double this number will be required.^ Ann* I.IjFK ON THgytJUNS. . , imcri«Hn(rJiici4entsf.! H' private lettefc from' > gentleman vflio is travelling with Inspector-Oeneral Marcy on; his ofllcml tour over the Plains, contains some passages of interest. The letter is dated Santa Fe,' New Mexico, August 3d. The writer says: TIIHOItOtt THE INDIAN COUNTRY. “We arrived here to-day, after a tour of nearly twelve hundred miles through the ter ritory, in an ambulance and three escort wagons. Our rack, for about nine hundred miles, lay through, a country infested by small bands of hostile Indians, who con stantly take every opportunity to steal and stampede animals, and do not hesitate to, kill those who oppose'their amiable designs. _ At one post, just after we left, the Indians charged, in broad daylight, into a herd ol fifty calvary horses that were grazed within .half a'mile of the fort, in charge of five soldiers/stampeded the horses, and ran them off before the troops could get on the track. They were pursued for a long distance, but could not be overtaken, and got off with nearly all the horses, leaving the cavalry company on foot. The Indians had not made their appearance at this post for a year previous, and the officers and men were off theirguard. « A SINGULAR INCIDENT “A singular incident occurred at a post that we visited, about one hundred and twenty miles west of the Rip Grande. About three weeks previous to our visit the ludians had run off a herd of horses and mules, and were pursued by a mixed party of soldiers and citizens. After following them for a hun dred and fifty miles into the mountains they came in the night upon the Indian encamp ment, wherelthe Indian families were, and killed about a dozen Indians. They also captured some women and children. One of the lat ter, a girl nine years of age, they took back with them, and gave her to the Mexican guide, who adopted her into his family, who lived near the fort. On the night of our arrival at this fort the wolves were howling all night, and the same noises were heard the next night. * No one paid the slightest atten tion to so common a circumstance. In the morning, however, the guide made his ap pearance, and stated that his adopted child had disappeared during the night. It ap peared that the howling came from the In dian friends.of the child, who thus apprised her that they had come for her rescue. She had noiselessly taken a stone out of the side ■ of the cabin, crawled through, pulled out her blanket and clothes, and joined her wolfish friends. The tracks of two Indians and of the child were followed for some distance into the mountains. INDIAN VI'NCTIT.IOI'SNESS. “At another post that we visited, in tile neighborhood of the Camanchcs, the com manding officer wrote a letter in Spanish to the head chief hi regard to some captives they had taken, and requested an answer by the bearer, a duty Mexican trader, who rode a donkey and did not make a very imposing appearance. The ‘envoy extraordinary’ de livered and interpreted the letter, and wrote the chief’s reply. It was to this effect: ‘That he had received a letter purporting to come from a big white chief, and delivered by a miserable, filthy Mexican, mounted on a jackass. That he did not believe a big chief would send a message' by such a shabby bearer, and he thought it was probably a hoax. That if he (the Mexican) was what he pretended, and would dress up in his best uniform, mount his best horse, and come to, his camp with an escort suitable to his rank, he would then talk to him, and not till then.’ INDIAN HUMOR. “Another good joke occurred at another post in this country. Some Indians stam peded a herd of horses that were guarded by soldiers. Among them was a drummer boy about fifteen years of age, w T ho, with the rest, pursued and fired at the Indians, and in the heat of the chase an old Indian rode up to this boy, who had fired bis pistol, and instead of killing him, as he could easily have done, knocked off the boy's cap and patted him on the back, as much as to say ‘good boy.’ The Indians are fond of a joke. “There has been a good deal of cholera among the troops that have come out from the Missouri.'’ ' B- Concerning Check. The impudent man, like the poet, is b >rn, not made. Ab Lever well say> “An impu dent man can simulate modesty; but it is im- possible for a modest man to simulate impu dence.” Yet,, although the most perfect “cheek” must be a natural gift, great profi- ciency in this line may be bad by practice, and'it is "a faculty that may be much im proved. For to achieve impudence a man has not only to acquire self-confidence, but to get rid of self-distrust. He only is bashful who is distrustful and uncertain of his own power to “act well Ids part,” in the emer gency that is upon him. As a rule, men judge of a man at first sight by his own opinion of himself, as manifested in his mien. If he be flmid, shrinking, in clined to make room for others, and prone to be subordinate, the place they will assign him will be in proportion to his claims. If he be loud, self asserting, inclined to jostle his neighbors instead of making room for them, they will set him down as one who has a title to the position he claims, and in most casps that position will be quietly yielded him. The London Owl has the following disqui sition on this theme: “Of all the qualities with which the begin ner in society can lie endowed, impudence is, without any question, the noblest, the grand est, the most valuable, both to its possessor and to the rest of his fellow-creatures. Known to various men by various names, such as dignity, honor, self-respect, confidence, Ac., it is honored and admired by all, and may be traced running like a golden thread through the whole web of society, giving it all its lus tre, and adding incalculably to its beauty and splendor. Were this thread drawn out, the fabric must at once lose all its value in lire markets of the world, if, in deed, it did not fall to pieces altogether., It is, properly speaking, less a quality it self than the life and soul of all the other qualities. A young man may start in life with the gift of tongue, an undoubted place in the country, a head of hair awl a tenor voice—-but though he may reserve his choicest fiowers lor the dowagers, may ask the best- men down to shoot, may go to church twice on Sunday, and may give his voice to be abused in afternoon concerts, yet, unless be shows in each and all a dash of the sovereign quality of impudence, he will not be one whit tire belter, but rather the worse off He will henceforth be recognized as a creature to be made use of and treated ac cordingly. For the want of impudence he wiil be mortified by' seeing no better rueu tiiaii himself preferred before him, upon possible occasion. “He will never shine at a dinner table where there is a brilliant talker; he will never he introduced to the first flight of girls when there are a suflieent number of smarter young men to provide for them; he will be mounted on a second-rate hunter whenever there is a better rider to be put on the bestprresbort, he THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN-PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1867. will be ridden over in the row, looked over in the streets, and talked over in the draw int-rdbmfj in a manner which will be cliarac tenzedfttr more by truth than by compli meiii,and that solely in consequence of the knd#lcilge that he lackß.-tktb one: defensive arfiriof impudence.

Let them but meht you at dinner, and they will henceforth, let you know that you are bound to ask for cards for them to all the balls to which you go yourself, and will insist on being introduced to all. the useful people with whom you be never so slenderly ac quainted. They-will invite . themselves to dine with you at the cßib, dictate the choice of liquoxvabuse-wour, salad, smoke .your peculiar cigars, and at last leave you in con tempt for a ball to Which your want of impu dence has prevented you trom being invited. The spectacle which such great spirits present cannot fail to be pleasing and edifying, and it is pleasing to find that it never fails to receive the admiration it merits. A Saratoga correspondent of the New York World thus describes the waiters at that place. The portraiture will suit other fashion able localities: Mrs. Glass is commended for her caution in prefixing to her recipe for the cooking of hares, the admonition, “First catch your hare.” If it had been the lot of that worthy woman to live at a Saratoga hotel, she would havekad emblazoned on the top of the bill, before the announcement of soup, and as a condition precedent to the obtaining of nap kins, the legend, “First fee your waiter.” It is an error to suppose that the ears and the eyes of the Saratoga waiter are in his head. They are in the palm of his hand. At least, having ears he hears not, and having eyes lie sees not, until the pruriency of that mem ber is allayed. Oh, how wretched is that poor man that does not fee the servants! There is betwixt that smile we would aspire • to, that sweet aspect of waiters and their ruin, more pangs and fears than wars or women have. Barmecide and Tantalus are but feeble tales, compared to the analogous myths the Greek and the Arabian mind would have evolved, if it had known, and omitted to charter with stamps, the Saratoga waiter. In the hands of this black being are the destinies of your dinner. To him you must look for necessary nutriment. And full well lie knows his powor. He overpowers with attention your neighbors and your vis a-vis, bni you, in his eyes, have the recipe of fern seed, and sit invisible. Made frantic with the pangs of hunger, you assail him with clamor, with prayers and revilings, but he heeds you not. You rnajee mad plunges for him, but he eludes your “Is this a waiter which I seo before me, The coat-tail toward my hand ? Come, let me clutch thee.- I have thee not, and yet. I see thee still. Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible To feeling as to sight? or art thou but A waiter of the mind—a false creation Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?” The head waiter is the quintessence of his henchmen. The head waiter ot the Clarendon is gorgeous to behold. * Without intending any disrespect to either, we may call him physically a Burnside in bronze: He is ela borate, imperious, majestic. He disposes his forces with a strategy that would adorn the commander of ah army corps, and the wave of his fulvos finger is like the flourish of the truncheon of Turenne. His words are few and’irrevocable. His whiskers are cut to the fraction of a hair, his black claw hammer is an integral part of him, his white trowsers are the stiffest and glossiest in Saratoga. ■ Of another school altogether is the head waiter at the Union. He is the Sir Charles Grandison of head waiters. He wears his grey fleece long, and commonly shows in a morning coat. He slips about easily among the throng. If you are of the quality he will condescend to chat with you at the gates of his. dining-room domain. If he bstimates you at over a million he will even laugh at your jokes and discuss your personal small-beer. If he estimates you at nothing, or less, he will still allow you to accost him, and reply to you with a flowing and oriental courtesy, though in this case with courtly coolness he will forbid your familiarity. The foreign correspondent of the Illinois Slate .Journal sends this little story from Schandau, Saxony: “One afternoon as we all sat around a long table under the trees, in a garden command ing a lovely' view of the little valley and the river Kirnitzch, from which it takes its name, a gray-headed old professor, learned in legend ary lore, related to the assembled company this‘oiver true tale:’ Saratoga Waiters. A Legend of Saxony. “Once upon a time, long, long ago, there lived in this little valley a poor fisherman in a little straw-roofed house. One time his wife presented him with his first-born son, and the overjoyed father hastened to the neighboring town to bring the priest to baptize the child, and to beg his iather-in law to be godfather. As he returned over these mountains a terrific storm overtook him, causing the tall pines to bow to earth and the very rocks to tremble. Scarcely could he proceed on his way, and at last with great difficulty reached the bank of the river opposite his house. There to his surprise he saw his wife standing, wringing her hands and crying bitterly, and who, when she saw him, pointed up the river. Looking up, the terrified man saw the Devil (who often before had vißited the valley) ; springing over the rocky banks, holding in' his claws the weep ing baby. The mother had fallen asleep near the cradle, and had forgotten to lay the prayer-book under, the child’s pillow, always a necessary precaution until the child is bap tized. Higher and higher up the mountains scrambled the Devil, holding the little boy in one hand and tearing up huge blocks of rocks' with the other, and laying them cross-, wise upon one another. Already had he seven steps of this huge staircase built, and was about to lay the eighth, when the fervent prayers of the parents, and their frequent calls upon the name of our Lord, compelled him to drop the child, and cowering to disappear, while angels caught the little one and laid him on his mother’s lap. Immediately the storm was over, the river calm, the sun came out, and all nature rejoiced. The next day the child was baptized. And just right there is where it all happened, concluded the Pro fessor. We all examined the spot with laud able interest and faith, and the wonderful story-teller finished his beer.”' Training for a Throne. The young Prince imperial of.

He had to listen to a long-winded Latin ora tion in praise oi the classic studies, which the child may-have Understood, for he.is well educated, and then had to listen, to a fulsome eulogium. Here is a sample of the kind ol stuff delivered by the illustrious Minister ot it is the son of the historiau of Ciesar, of the Imperial writer who has so otten expressed noble thoughts in the finest language; it is the heir to the first throne in the world, who comes to distribute crowns to the victors in the contests oi intellect, to those who will one day assist him in good service to the country.” And much more to the same ellect. Inc Prince then delivered the prizes, and the pa geant broke up with cheers and shouts ot “ Vive Ic Prince Imperial!" It is to be hoped that he was then permitted to escape, to enjoy a hearty play with companions of his own aire. There was a gramr banquet afterwnrd at the hotel of the Minister of In struction, at which the Prince was, happily for himself, not present Buckle on tbe Ignorance of the Clergy. A posthumous paper by Mr. Buckle, in Fraser's Magazine, contains the following : “Early in the reign of Elizabeth, the chaplain to the Archbishop of Canterbury had occasion to examine the curate ot Cripple cate, and by- way of testing his knowledge asked him the meaning of the ward function. To this difficult question the reverend gentle man, nof having paid much at tention to the niceties of language, was unable to make a satisfactory reply. Several years later, the clergyman of Famliam, All Saints, was ex amined by the Bishop of Norwich. The.con versation which ensued is deserving atten tion ; and it is preserved by Strype, whose devotion to the Church of England no one will think of questioning. ‘The bishop asked him the contents of the third chapter ot .Mat thew; he answered nothing; and the contents of the eleventh chapter; neither could he an swer to that. He asked him how many chap ters • the Epistle to liomans contained, an 1 what the subject of that Epistle was. To neither of these could he answer. And when he adventured to answer, lie showed his ignorance as'much as by his silence.’ But I"might till a volume with similar instances, and 1 can only alibi'd room for one or two more examples. “In IM l a certain William Ireland was presented to the rectory of llarthill. The Archbishop of York directed his chaplain to' examine him. The chaplain first desired, him to translate an easy Latin sentence. This he was unable to do; but as . such knowledge was not very common in the clerical profes sion, the absence of it did not amount to a disqualification, and the examiner proceeded in his inquiry. He asked the reverend gen tleman “who brought up the people of Israel out of Egypt?’ He answered King Saul. And being asked who was first circumcised, he could not answer. It was not to be ex pected that men such as these should display any remarkable ability when they had occa sioh to mount the pulpit. Indeed, their apostolic deficiencies were so glaring that it was found necessary to draw up sermons which they might read to the people. But some of the more adventurous of the sacred order, disdaining to shine by such borrowed light, ventureu to address their par-' ishioners in their own language, and with their own ideas. One of them, with the view as, I suppose, of moderating the presumption of his flock, preached in favor of mediocrity, and his sermon was considered such a mas terpiece of theology that .it was repeated in two or three different, parishes. ‘God,’ says this great divine, ‘delighted in mediocrity by these reasons —viz.:, man was put In rnidio paradisi: a rib was taken out of the midst of men. The Israelites went through the midst of Jordan and the midst of the Bed Sea. Sampson put fire-brands in the mlddist between the foxes’ tails. David’s men had their garments cut off by the mlddist. Christ was hanged in the mlddist between two thieves.’” ‘‘Father Ignatius” on a Uampagc. Father Ignatius (Mr. Lyne), like the Mar quis ot iyestmeath, is of opinion that the re porters are' a bad set. In a sermon delivered in London on a Sunday in the early part of August, he called ifpon them, if any were present, to note carefully every word ho was about to utter, but he doubted if they would; it would not suit the devil to let them do that. Perhaps there were some Christian editors in the church—editors of some dissenting papers, it did not matter; perhaps all the better. Let them publish to the world what he was about to say. He then, in very plain language, attacked the morality of public schools. Did parents, he asked, know what they were paying .£BO, .£lOO, aye, even £2oo a year for. Why. of course, it was for the education of their sons. Education! It was nothing of the sort. Our public schools, without exception, were hot-beds of the worst kind of infamy and vice. They were abodes of horrible sins and filth, and boys were being brought up straight for hell ff>ro; young ladies’ schools, too, were just-as bad. It would never do in this enlightened nine teenth century to attempt to teach religion in our schools.. The man who did so would be laughed at, and put down as a fool. School masters advertised the number of pupils who had gained and, passed examina tions lor public offices, but they never adver tised boys taught to love Jesus. Indeed, he added, there was no such thing as school boy religion.: Why, even in the schools adjoining the church, where a charge of only a penny, a week was . made, the pa rents made no end of a noise because they took the children to church on festivals. Now, a festival did not occur above once a month, but the parents would have it they paid their penny for their children to be taught that two shillings and two shillings made four shillings, but they would not have any mere religion, there was too much of it already; and this spirit pervaded all classes. Mr.. Lyne' then referred to the morality of what was termed the fashionable world. He could not express wliat he felt whenever he was told Miss So-and-So was to be “brought out” the next season. Brought out for what ? To bo prepared for hell. Now, did ladies go to these balls dressed? No, half naked. And what did Jesus see in these ball rooms? Filth! filth! filth! Oh, the talcs mothers and grandmothers had told him of young ladie»d‘coming out. ” The reporter who sends us these notes does not pretend that he obeyed the preacher's orders and took down nil he said.

Rugglcs, delegate from the United States in the recent Diplomatic Monetary Con feience, at Paris, full reports of its proceedings and-of the plan agreed upon to be proposed for adoption by the different nations.

The British Foreign Office has issued a blue book, containing documents which have been filed in that- Department in the Aiab.iuu ease, and the correspondence which has p.is-ed be tween the Governments of Great Britain and the United States for the settlement of me claims. The latest despatch in the collection shows what progress has been made in the controversy, and states the conditions upou which the English Government is willing- to attempt a final -eltle tneiit. The despatch is 'addressed by Lord Stan ley, Secretary of Foreign Affairs, to Sir Freder ick Bruce, Minister at Washington, and is dated May 28, 1807. Lord Stanley informs Sir Freder ick’Bruce that England is willing to submit the claims of American citizens for damages caused bv tire Alabama, and all other similar demands oh the part of the United States, to a commission of arbitration, If the claims of British-subjects aguiiißt the United States for losses suffered (luring tlie late war of rebellion arc likewise sub mitted to the decision of the same commission. Intemperance in tlic Soutti. The editor of the Sandusky JJegjnfcr gives the following as the result of his personal ob servations on a recent tour through several ol the Southern States: . The extent to which the drinking ot in toxicating liquors prevails at the South, as a “social custom," is appaling to one who looks upon intemperance as the curse ol our laud. It is next to impossible to enter any circle, or in fact, meet anybody anywhere without having the infernal ghost of something to drink” forced under your nose. It you are casually introduced to Major Jones, late of the Confederate army, the first utterance after the salutation is, step this way and take soineuing. rou purchase ten dollars’ worth of dry goods at a Southern store, and utter paying your Uni, you are, with a wink, beckoned to a back room, where a free glass of whisky is grace fully proffered. You enter the business office of an acquaintance to chat three minutes, and before you leave, the business acquaintance is certain to say : “Sam, fetch that black bottle from the shelf and two glasses.” You call at a Southern home, and your host would think that he had outraged the very spirit of hospitality did ho not offer you some fluid that has the happy power of giving the human nose the color of a lobster’s claw. The wonderful variety of these fluids surprises one who knows the destitution of the South ern country in other respects. In point or strength and payability they range an the way from dish water to acquatortis, and tneir results have tho same gradation-reaching from nausea to murder in the first degree. It would seem that' the Soutu had been sufficiently cursed by slavery, secession, war and defeat; but the plague ot drunkenness is now added. The morals, no less than the politics of the South, need reconstruction, and the field for reformatory work is a wide one. But one thing is plain—that, so long as the offering of intoxicating drinks is regarded as a standard social custom, intemperaueo cannot bo successfully battled any more than the current of the Mississippi can be per manently stayed.
