Tlrs moit perplexing question that
confronts tbe liquor men is the
women's movement against tlie traffic.

carefully, iriih thetjcttf discovt-ring

it and break it up. Thus far every at
tempt in that direction has resulted in
complete failure. hen tbe move

nd Middle States, liquor men, and men
who loved their schnnps, said tbe U est- j
ern wmien in the movement were fanat
ical, crszy, and bad ; but reliable in
formation from Western States pro
nounced the women engaged in the
work in the West most respectable and
worthy cf confidence ; io that effuit at
prejudicing has bein a complete fail
ure. Siuce these first days and first
announcements of the movement a!! of
the Northern States hare become af
fected to a greater or less degree by
ladies prayer. Even staid Icun-jl-vama
b been remarkably moved, not,
it is t:ne, by public demonstration, as
by ladies in the West, but by syste
matic petitions to the Throne of Grace,
io churohes and in halls and in other
stated places' for prayer. Their power
Las been felt n the Legislature to a
degree never tefore experienced. The
Legislature had been largely petitioned
by liquor uieu to repeal tbe present
local option law, and the liquor ring
Legislators wre not slow to announce
to Hie public that tie present local op
tion law woull be repealed. But a
change has come otcr their spirits.
Women's prayers have wrought the
change. The lew w:."I remain upon the
statute books.
New fields are sought in which to un
earth arguments with which to confront
the ladies' movement, so as to divert
them frcm their purpose. The latest
argument breu iht into use is the Jew
ish people. Their ways of living, their
use of liquor, and the dignity of Jew
ish maidens and matrons arts brought
forward to the public gaze, and we are
asked to look upon Jewish life as a

would it suit the advocates of the liquor

It would be a glorious change if they
rould do so. That would be a perma

churches outside of the Jewish and
Aymish denominations were as correct
ly disciplined as they are, the liquor
traffic would be stifled by tbe force of
moral example. If these United States
were peopled with thirty uiillious of
Jews or Aymish, such a traffic as tbe
liquor traffic, as it exists among us now,
could not exist twenty-four bours. TLey
would no more tolerate it thac tbey
would the idolatry of the Scuth Sea
Islanders. The advocates of liqaor
must starch elsewhere f.r argumeuts to

Three Days.
Ksoxviu.e, Ten., March 0.
For tbe last twenty days the greatest
excitement has prevailed fcr a distance
of twenty five tulles around the vicin
ity of Haiti Mountain. Tuis mountain
is situated between Crook f reek, in
McDowell county, and Broad river,
the mountain also extending into Kutk
erfore county, that portion of the ranre
within McDowell being generally call
Stone Mountain.
The first signs of alarm in tliii lo
cality were witnessed the 10th of Feb
ruary. J Ins cocsited in what thepeo-
pe C1u , ternbio lumbering,"' the
csrti, gecmej to qUIVer to a frightful
extent. Some parties described it as
terrible thunder, gradually dying away
in the distance. Others described the
noise as the toaricg of heavy artillery
in the distance, On tbel2lb ofFebru
ruary two gentlemen were on the high
est poiut of Bald Mountain, knowu as
Harris' View, which is said to be next
to Mount Mitchell in height. Oil that
day these gentlemen heard thin strange
noise. One says it first reminded him
of the falling of heavy timber, and pre
presented a strange combination of
sounds and impressions.
Parties living on the mountain sides
and foot heard the same. All think
tbe noise was in the mountain. One
man says when he was on one side of
the mountain this terrible noise was in
the direction of the mountain, and when
on the opposite side the same indica
tions were observed. All feel satisfi
ed that the noise proceeds alone from
this mountain, bt on the 2Jd of Feb
ruary the noise had reached such a
point as to become perfectly terrible.
The statement of sixty persons living
on the monutain is that the mountain
was actually shaking. The movement
was like the entire mountain giviog
way. The table ware and household
furniture all rocked and jostled with
frightful farce. One niau was riding
on horseback, aod Lis horse became
feat fully frightened. It L said that
the cattle have become alarmed aod
wander from their usual range.
Such was the alarm, that about 12
o'clock at nigh on the 22d the people
for miles arouud began to assemble at
the house of a niau by the same of
Camp, and he having gone to the wood
real, beseeching him to come and pray
and preach. The people thus assem
bled remained in these devotions three
day, when they moved a short distance
The 31 of March, J. M. Lumly,
Methodist minister, in charge of Broad
and children, all presenting tbe most
terrible state of fear, despair and pen
itance. On the Jay Mr. Lumly reach
ed the house was literally packed, ttie
preacher barely having room to stand.
So great was the rush to Lear that
many climbed up the side of the walls
and crowded on the joists above, only
a poition of the upper tory having a
floor, and many not being able to enter
tbe house, in the door and all around
tht) house manifested the mrst intense
interest. When the call was made for
mourners the people rushed from all
parts of the house with almost frantic
yells, atid fell upon the floor and upon
each other, all praying and supplicating
in the most heartfelt and agonizing-
manner ever witnessed on earth.
These exercises continued incessantly
for sixteen d s and nights with but little
intermission. During all this time tbe
people all lived in common. No at
tcntion was given (3 labor or property.
Cattle, horses, and hogs were turned to
the woods, and the entire people within
the raiie of this awful excitement have
concluded that they have but a few
more days to live. About one huudred
have made profession of religion. The
closing scenes of this strange meeting
are reported as most peculiar and wonder
ful. During most of this period of nix
teen das the mountain had continued
at intervals to prt'eent the same alarm
ing impressions, but having prayed,
shouted, sung, and agiuized for this long
period, they separated, with tbe promise
that all would remain aod die if neces
sary. It is said that the awe stricken
countenances and the melancholy de
meanor cf this vast crowd on tbe break
ing up of the devotions are beyond all
description. A letter wis received in
this city to diy by a g"ntleman whose
mother resides bear Bald Mountain, sta
ting that near tbe summit of that peak
an arera of nearly an acre was agitated
by subterranean upheavals, then siok-
ine, from which smoke and vapor issued

A special despatch from Bald Moun
tain, dated March 23, says the reports
of terrific tumblings and roaring noises
proceeding fro the mountains are con
firmed. Scientists say that volcanic ac
tion is no doubt goingon. The citizens
are still fleeing, and religious meetings
are held night and day by the super
stitious, who are making all needful
preparation: for the end of the world.
I Shocks are hourly felt throughout this

The first burial of a member of the
Patrons of Husbandry wi;h the honors
of the Order that bas come to our no
tice, lock place the other day in Kick
apoo, Kansas, when the remains of
Henry Bolia were consigned to their
! last resting place with a.I tbe pomp and
funeral pageant of the Granger burial
service. Mr. Bolin was a prominent
member, and the attendance was very
large, some 400 persons being present.
The programme of tbe bcrial was about
as follows :
Ou leaving the residence of tbe da
ceased, the hearse which contained tbe
remains was flanked on either side by
three pall-bearers, who walked with un
covered heads and regalias draped in
mourning. Following the hearse cme
t'.ie relations of the deceased, and next
marched the Sisters of the Order, clad
in full regalia. The Brothers came
next, and following them the vast eoi
course of people, who had come from
far aod near to witness the ceremonies.
The remains were first taken to the
church, where a priest went through a
service peculiar to tbe Catholic burcb,
Ir.f which the deceased was a member.
i
When the exercises here had been con
cluded, the procession tot.k up its march
fnr the cemetery, where the granger
funeral rites were performed. The cof
fiu was placed on supports directly over
the open grave, and remained there till
the impressive and interesting service
was concluded. G. B. Cuffiio, Master
of the Franklin Grange, conducted tbe
ceremonies.
When tbe bi others and sisters of the
Grange, of which the deceased was a
member, had assembled aboot the grave,
the Master read a selection from tbe
burial ritual, followed by a second se
lection by the C'baplaib, and then tbe
members repeated slowly and solemnly
tbe Lord's prayer, closing with a beau
tiful and appropriate bymn. The
brothers of the Ord?r then stepped to
the grave and threw into the opening
several bouquets of fle-wers and ever
greens. A short but powerful address
was next delivered by the Chaplain.
While the ccfiin was being lowered, a
beautiful and soul-inspiring hymn was
sung, and during the singing the sisters
showered bouquets of flowers upon the
descending coffin until it reached tbe
wooden box at the bottom of the grave.
Tbe Master tbeu sprinkled a portion of
dirt thrown from the grave over the
coffin, and the service closed with the
silemn benediction of the Chaplain.
Taken throughout, the ceremonies are
very beautitul and impressive. West

The Homfu't Crutadc.
The question whether the women are j
right or wrong iu the new temperance
movement is not very important along
side of the more vital question, Shall
not not the liquor traffic be put down ?
Let no man cast the first stone until he
can how that he is earnestly at work
to enlighten or remove the greatest
curse on the western continent. Objec
tions as to the mode are generally ar
rested by the question, What are you
doing fur the prevention of misery to
so many victims of the liquor traffic ?
! Intemperance, as fed by our customs
land inadequate legislation, is an extra-
ordinary evil, monstrous and abnormal,
... !
ana wi;ai wouuer is 11, ii common
i means failing, it should be met with
extraordinary methods ! As for wo
man's agency, if man will not speik
and act for her, as the chief suiierer
r ,i , , . . . i . i ., !
from the traffic, let us at least have the ;
manliness to let her speak and art for
herself.
There is in this movement something
like the womanly daring, desperation
and self-forgetfulness with which one
rushes into a burning bonse to save her
child or husband, and we predict that
the spectacle will have the effect of
shaming the men into some action that
will bo more to the purpose. Hereto
fore we have trifled with the monster
evil as if there were nothing real about
it. It is to be hoped that the eiht of
so many "terribly in earnest" will lead
the minds of citizens and legislators to
a better apprehension of the situation.

Intexse exciti ment bas been crea
ted in North Carolina over the startling
discovery that ISald Mountain, in the
western part of the State, is iu a state
of volcanic eruption. People have re
cently arrived at Uileigh with the in
formation that the farmhouses and cot
tage's along the sides and the base of
tbe mountain have been thrown dovn
by :ha rocking of the great mass to its i
foundation. Many of the inhabitants
have fled in fear and terror to seek
slety elsewhere from the terrible de-
vastati,ns which may result from the
amazing phenomenon. A thin vspr
issues from the top of the mountain,
and an upheaval of firo and lava is
hourly expected.

I am on this matter 1 will relate a little
ucident told to me by well-known
steamboat captain. He said : " I am
an elder in the Presbyterian Church.
I made a profession ef religion when I
was very young. Vanderbill employed
me to run one of his boats. It was
considered a great thiug for a person of
my age to have such a position. I waa
very proud of it, and tried to d-i my
best. One Saturday the agent came to
me and said, Yon must fix your boat
up to-day, for to-morrow we are going
to send you np tbe North River on an
excursion. I thought the matter over.
I was a young man. I did not wish to
lose my position, and yet I could not
run the boat on Sunday. I said so to
the agent in a letter, tendered my res
ignation, and prepared to go home I
met the Commodore on the Battery.
He said : 'Come down and dine with
me to-morrow; my wife wants to see
you.' 'I cannot,' was the reply, for I
niu,t go home. I have got through
with your Iina.' What does that
mean V asked the Commodore. I then
t0j ujrj the story. That fellow is a

There was a burlesque crnsade in Chatta

says : "Tbe chaplain had the book for sig
nal n res mvla of the backs of aa old book,
with a deck of cards'distributed and pasted
open the inside. Each signer would select
his favorite card and sign his nan. They
visited all of the saloons, and upon enter
ing would siDg Dot leetie German Band,'
the chaplain would call for signers, after
which they would all take a drink, singing,
Ob, how I love Jesus,' and then join in
prayer. The shocking mockery ended in a
row and fight. The knife was promiscuous
ly nsed, bat the parties were arrested be
fore a fatal wound was indicted. One of
them was found to have a Urge pistol con
cealed about his clothes."
