He's Got 'em Again

The Willis correspondent of the Ypsilanti Commercial and Ypsilantian has gained a county repntation for his far fetched flights of descriptive language. He attended the recent meetings of the National party at Whittaker and heardtí. R. Maloue, of Lansing, address the assembled crowd. The following is the way in whieh it affected him : "We had the pleasure of listening to Mr. JMalone, of Lansing, at the picnic near Whittaker, last week. He is cbairinan of the National Prohibition party. In discussing the subject of intemperance he was the l-est speaker I have ever heard. His language, as it oame ringing from the ohamber of his soul, was full of denunciations of the damnable traffio that towers to heaven in deeds of murder, ruffianism, and barbarity, until pnrity shrinks from the contemplation of the awful picture. The widow's cry and the orphan's wail centered in bis thonght as he carried his listerners to the unpardoned heighth of crime, wbere the rumseller sits surrounded by his confederates, whose blackened characters would outlive the nistory of the pauperism that tbe trafïic begets. Festering pools were probed by his lance of imagery that in the bacchanalian yell feil npon the ear as the slimy serpent coiled about the prostrate form of the dying inebriate, whose curses rent the air. The licensed dens of Baccbas where the grog demons hold court amid scènes ternpestuous, and revolting gave up their record of infamy as he carne and went among them in search of evidence worthy of the commendation of the cohorts of heil. The fabled Gehenna was cited to arouse sympathy for the sufferers, but it f ai led for want nf agonies to compare with the condition of the frenzied wife and mother, whose unavailing tears feil upon the shrunken form of ber starving child as wild-eyed and frantic witb rage the inebriated father entered the abode of sorrow with a soowl on his bloated features that indícate the frenzy of the man, whose polluted soul was given over to satanio iufluences that made him for the time bemg the heartless robber that he was in the sanctuíu-y of home, and we realized "That the girtes of heil rans with upplanse, When devils rise to cheer The minions of the whisky ving And the lords of lairer lieer." The 5 cent silver piece familiar to otir fathers was authorized by cougress April 2, 1792, aud its coinage was begun the same year. lts coinage was discontinued Feb. 12, 1873.
