Dan. Rice has made his debut in St.
Louis as a temperance lecturer. Among
other things he said: "I have been a
minister, bul not of the gospel. I have
been a minister of fun. My mother's
family were all Methodists, and my moth
er used to prophesy that one day I would
be a minister, and she often prayed that I
would become one. i heard Moody the!
other night. The prayers and songs j
made me weep like a child. [Here Dan's i
voice faltered.] When I heard that old j
song my mother used to slug, I wept like J
a child. I came away and resolved to
lead a new life. I have had my last drink,
and trust to God that I have taken it in j
time. My character has been good until
the last five years, Since then every one
in St. Louis knows my feelings. Trouble j
caused me to drink, ami I have been ,
drunk five.years—all those live years I j
have got drunk to drou n sorrow. I used j
to go staggeaing along the street like j
this. [Here Dan. imitutated si drunken {
man.] When 1 think of it it makes me
ashamed of myself. Then I thought it
funny, very funny. [Laughter.] I thought I
I was a great man. If drunkeness is a i
criterion, I used to think I would be ai
great man. When I wnsdrunk I thought I j
was a great man, but when 1 woke up the j
next morning the halucination was gone." [
This is what the Richmond, (Va.,) j
State says and thinks of the colored exo
dus : ''lf any portion of the Southern pop
ulation see proper to pack up their t raps i
ami go west or north to seek a different if
not better Held for enterprise, they surely
have that right, and without let or hinder-;
since. They are all free men, and there is j
no law now binding them to the soil. We
make no objection to the emigration of!
our white population, which is quite as
valusihle as our black, or if we do, it is |
only byway of general protest, though ,
even that is not often thought of, and we j
certainly offer them no special induce
ments to remain at home."
Secretary McCulloch lias suggested that!
the way to push silver into general circu
iation is to retire all bills less than $lO. j
The Boston Herald thus endorses the
Secretary's viewes : "The Bank of England
issues no notes under £5. The natural 1
result is that the people carry gold sover-,
eigus and half sovereigns, aud ailver half |
crowns, two-shilling pieces, shillings and !
sixpences, for small change. The notes j
under $lO in this country amount to about
$200,000,000, and their retirement would
bring into use that amount of gold and
silver."
Nothing can be true love to God which '
does not shape itself into obedience. \
Statistics prepared at the Agricultral
1 Bureau in Washington show an enormous
j increase in the value of agricultural pro
! ducts for the year 1871) as compared with
I that of 1878. The difference is stated at
nearly $410,000,000.
