In thot intoresting book, tho Momoira of Bir Jonah Darriugton, a story is told which hay boon often Iaughed at, aud ofton declared to bo ab- surdly untrno, It i that of n party of oarousors who spond tho night at o hunting-loage in Ire- land, the walls of which have boon nowly, plastered. Ono of thom, overcomo with tlarst and punch, falla ossloop fn 8w arm-chair, tipped baok agelust tho wall, bis hond resting on tho greon plaster During tho night it sots, and bis hair becomes 80 embedded fu it that in the morning ho has to be dug out with a case-knifo, & rude surgieal opora- tion, which leaves him with a bleoding sealp, This fa tho story which Las boen declared un- truo, but tho correctness of which is now vindi- eated In o city whioh 8ir Jonnh nover henrd of, alnco it did not exist during bis jovial day. 1t was uncertain, up to dato, why tho Iarrison Btroot Station was built, excopt to enable somo pota of tho Loard of Tublie Worka to makae little monoy, or to give Petor Marr n chance to recovar £8,000 from tho city, That it now appenrs that tho essentinl ond ond aim of conatructing tho odifice was to prove the correctnors of tho Irishman’s talo. Yestorday morning Justice Doyden openad Conrt a8 usnal, and waitad for tho Clark to bogin the call of tho tockot, but the Clerk delayed, and the Justico nsked the renson. The Clerk ro- spondod that the prinoners had mot yot buon bronght up from their cetla, Timo wont on. No prisonors made their ap- poarance. 'The patienco of _the Court began to disappear, and he sont an officer down-staira to Inquiro why the prisoners wore not forthcoming. Tho ofiicor raturned in & fow minutes nnd in- formed tho Court that tho Station-Keeper hnd net finished digging the prisoncrs out, and that thoy wonld be up in a fow minutes. "I'ho Justico was sbout to nek what this meant, whon a pocullarly melanoholy nud disroputable- looking procession wended its way into the court-room. It washionded by 8 man whose halr appeared to have been haoked off of the back of hig hend with o razor made from & rusty hoop, whoso_scalp was blucdiufi in & dozen differ- ont piaces, Tho man had an oscosaively irritated and injured oxpression upon his faco, and was making somo romark to the effect thiat hio always was opposed to these new-fangled floors. Immodintely bolow him was & man who had lost the sent of his pantaloons, and was conecious of & cavity which both his hands, Inrgo a8 _they woro, woro not Inrgo cnough to cover. Ilig successor was dostitute of his right sleove, Another was minua tho loft, and still auothor surprised the Court by laviog very Jong *and bushy whiskors on ono chool, whila ho other was cropped excoedingly closo,” Last of all camo nman in his stocking-foet. The Station-Keopor romarked apologotically that the femnlo prisoners would be up in the course of an hour or so. Tho Justico stated agrity that he had often ob- ?uclud to tho practice of mnltreating prisonors, but he lind nover seon such a shiameful oaso ag tho ono before him. Tho Btation-Keoper roplied that the oflicors svere not at fault, and went on to ox- plin tho repson why his charges wero in puch & deplorable ~condition. ~ Ho maid that tho colls in the now station hnd beon floored with somo kind of tar coment which the inventor lind stated was porsonally abnozioua to bed-bugs, and wonld keep ail forms of insect life afar off. Tho prisoners, woaried with tho Isbora of the day, hiad Inin down on this floor and gouo to pleep, During the night tho heat from the stoves in tho corridor Lad roftened the flaor on which the prisoners lay. When morn- $ng came and tho fires went out, the cement sot nnd hold tight whatever had heon imbedded in ft. With tho excoption of ono ludiorous prison- ?r who lny across the others, they woro all stuck 2st, Whon he had ordered them to got up they al- ananimously said they could not. At firat ho most thought they wore unvwilling tollerve their couches, but wpon investigation found that thoy were unablo to move, Mo hnd at firat proposed to soften the tar by tocal spplications of o rod- hot pokor, but tothat the prisonors objeotod with singular unanimity, Ono man was festonod by his boots slone, and Lo hnd succeoded in ucking him without much difioulty. He had Jion torn up another just as one pulls up a sap- Jing, the only trouble being that that individual bad left the sont of his pantaloons bohind him, Asfor the two who woro stuok by their inir, hohad rooted thom out a8 he best could with a jack- knifo which he happoned to havo. Somo of tho Jadios who wore held by their falso hair had boen easily liberated, but they flatly rofusod to como up until thoy liad thawed out their chig- nons. gxn(ng & married man himself, and know- Lng the store women eect on Buch things, he felt ound to comply with their request. Thero woro two or three otbor women down-stairs, but thoy bnd been extricated in such n domoralized condition that, though o policoman, ko felb ashamed to produce them. Tho Justico listoned with much surprise to this story, and dischnrgoed the prisonocrs, who started for home,—one of them aftor Lo had pulled up his boots mious their soles, and an- other aftor he had borrowed s newspaper which he thoughtfully held behind him as ho walked along. —_— THR WIDOW'S VICTIM. A most amusing divorce caso i# now on trial betore Judge Willinms, being & suit brought by Elins Alkus to obtain a divorco from his wifo Rachel on tho ground of crual treatment. Eliss says that sbont ten yoars ago, whon ho was an unsophisticatéd youth of 21, ho ato for o timo at the houso of tho widow, who aftorwards married him, The quality of the viands did not apposr to ploaso him, and Lo found nnother place. At this time he was o uinth of a mian, carning & living as & tailor. Dut, though bie was such o small fraction of a man, tho lone widow fixed ber eye on bim as tho future No. 2. As ho neglectad to visit her, shio began the equal rights " movement and took the court- - Ing into hor own bands, and with success. Eli- o8 mournfully alloges that sbo went into his utore, which was, unfortunately, only two blocks from her Elnca, and then, by bor ropresentations thut she was alono intho world, end that Ler sons approprinted the money of her storo to thelr own use, through want of a controlling hand, 80 wore on his boyish feclings that he promirod tomarry hor. T'haslight circumstanee o} her having two children older tlnm‘ lio did not appear to be regardod as any ob- stacla. Dut as roon aa be was marriod ho ropented. Ho thinks the next day after (he careutony ho mny huve been quito happy, but in less than four weoks his eyos wera opened. The Vride doveloped a remarkablo tondency for throwing slops over him, and caressing bim with gticks of wood, Mo endured it for soveral years, and then obeyed Greoloy's adyica, and Wout Weat. Chicago naturally nttrasted him, 2ud he began the world anew here, « But & wivo of remorse crossed his happinoss, aud Lo wrote for Mrs. Aliis to come bere, ‘promising to give her the house in Bridgoport, and vigit “her once & month. — 8ho camo, but brought with Lhor all the +0ld ccoentricitien of character, aud Elias, after boaring it ue long as ho conld, dotormined to submit the question to twelve men whethor ho should be compelled to live any longor with this Beducing widow, Judge Williams attempted to disprove the truth “of the old enw, thut 10 one can do two things at once, and divided hia timo, with com= mendeble impartiulity, botwoon the porusal of Yortuilian, Cyprisn, Bishop Whitehouso, et al., and tho hearing of the osss. When tho question of the powera of Blshops, or tho partioular view of some early Church-fathor on tho question of the divine origin of the Olris- tian Church, became nunusually foggy, the Judgo would bend s beuignant glance on the com- plainant, and inquire whothior he got the worth ot his monoy (Mra. Alkus boing possosscd of a good ehinre of this world's goods), or whethor ho narried the woman, or she him, or which gottho bost of tho bargain, with other liko facetious remarks, and the audionco, a8 in duty bound, would dnlz ginflo at tho judicial wit, Alrs, Alkus will probably have her account to give to-day, and tho caso bida falr to occupy the whole daw. —_—— LOCAL LETTERS.

I\ RAvLIN, THE “ WINR" OF THE DIDLE, To the Editor of The Chicago dy{bune: 8in: A report of a ministorial conforonce, con- teined in to-day's Trivuxe, give us the proofs that ovon clergymon may eomotimos ontertaiu most orrongous viows of Diblo-toachings. How is it possiblo that sny uubinsod ronder of tho Biblo can appear befora the public with such an unfounded and untonable nssertion, that tho **wino " of tho Bible means, in all oason, the un- Jermented juico of tho grapo? Tho Beriptures nowhoro mako & distinction botwoon formonted and unformentod \\'lnoi and, in most—ayo, in nonrly nll—caso, the wino"” of the Biblols formented wing,—wino of an intoxicating nature. Let us first consider the word yayin, most com- monly umEloynd for wina in the Hebrow Biblo, W rond that Noah drank of the yayin, and bo- eamo drunk (Goneals, ix., 41); that Nabal drank yayin, oud becamo very drunk (L Sumuol, xxv., 86, 87); that tho druvkards of Ephralm are struck down by yayin (énnlnh, xxvill,, 1) § that Jeromiah says, **Iam like a drunkon man, like = porson whom yayin has overcome " (Joromiah, xxiif,, 9). But, .mmu;g. yayin is_intoxicating, it isspokon of as & blessing. Isnac blossos Jacob, that God may give bim plenty of corn and wino (Gouesis, xxvii, 28), Jacob blesscs Judsh, “that his oyos may be red by Ynyin (Genosls, xlix., 12). promiscs to Isracl that thoy shall’ agnin plant their vinoysrds and drink thoir yayin (Amos, ix., 14). The Nazarito was permitied to drink yayin after his vow had expirod (Numbors, vi., 20). The drinking of vayin ot thoir feasta wns rocommended to tho Israclites (Doutoronomy xiv., 28), Compare alao the word of tho Panlmist (civ:, 16), that “The wino gladdonn tho heart of ‘man'; tho word of Jotham, that wino *cheeroth both God aud man " (Judges, ix., 18), and so forth, and so forih. ‘What is sald of yayin is applicable to the He- brew synonyms of the word,—to shechar, tirosh, Menlerl &c. And evon shechar, meaning, litor- ally, “inlozicaling drink," is permitted and rcqoml;:‘sudcd in" tho Uible (Deutoronomy, xxiv, 26), Trom ail this it must bo concluded, 1, that thero ig not the least particlo of a show that the “wino” of tho Bible ia but the unfermonted Juice of tho grape; and, 2, that tho advocates of Bo-called total abstinance caunot claim the Bible a8 boing on thoir eide of the quostion. On the contrary, the Bible recommends tho use of wine, and ouly docrics its abuse, 1t is & vain attempt to doprave the roligion of: the Bible into & roligion of ascetic austerity, A choorful and_happy enjoyment of tho blossings of tho oarth ia fully in accordance with tha lotter and the spirit of the Scriptures. Tho only con- dition imposed upon the laraclito is, naver to forgot that ho owos all enjoyments, niot to his «own exertiona or his own morits, but to the bo- noficonco of God ; and, further, that, in enjoy- ing Qod'a gifts, o shall nover make & beast of bimself, but that ho shall always remain mind- ful of the fact that he isa human boing, endowed with ronson and an immortal soul, Lot mo add* one romnrk moro: Ars those ** Christian” people who 8o emphatically de- nounce the * wire-bibbers ™ sa criminals of the worst kind, awaro that those donunciations in their mouths are shoor blasphemy ? For thoy donounca moue loss than the founder of the Clristion religion himself, a8 Jesus_was 1o as- cotic, and dranls wine, Lho miracle of Caua, wherowith, according to tho Gospol of Jobm, chap. ii., he began Lis public life, would alona bo sufliciont proof of this. But, as an Iaraclil who had come * not to destroy, but to fulill boalso drauk wine, st loast on overy Friday nvamn{x on the commoncement of Babbath. For it was then a gonerally-ncoopted and oboyed law among tho Jows, to fake s oup of wino boforo the first Sabbath-meal was eaton, snd to praise God by aaying, before drinking it, * Blossed be Thou, O Lord, King of the Univorso, who bast oroatod the fruit of the vine,” (S8co Talmud Borachath, 20 ; Baba Bathra, 08 ; Pesachim, 101, 106, 114, and many othor passagen,) I will also rewind the reador that, in his very last suppor (which was & Pasohinl Suppor,—Lake, xxii.; John, xiii.), Jesus drank wine. And, on tlus occasion, bio, a6 law-abiding Israclito, drank at least four cups of wine. In the Mishnn Pesnchim, chap. x., we have a full account of the laws and usagos concorning tho Paschis! Supper as they wero in ‘vogue in the timos of Jesus ; and, wera hore the propor place, I might give o large tablosu-vivant of a Jewish Pasctinl Supper 1,000 years sgo. For our present purpose, 1t suftices, Lowever, to soy that it was & law to driuk at least four cups of wino beforo and whilo rociting the prayera and eongs of thanksgiving on Passover ove,— seo Mishna ut supra. . COould we, in this place, somewhat exhaust tho subject, we might quote a number of Tal- mudignl passagos it support of the fact that, 1or Jiiddush, or Friday evening, aud for the Paschal Bupper, unfermonted wine (ygx_vfin migitlo,— wino fresh from the pross) might have been used,—was allowed to bo used; but that the Inws and customs in the days of Christ demanded and preforred explicitly-formented wino. I am strongly tomptod to say more on this subject. My remarks, Lowevor, have grown al- rendy too long, aud, therefore, I stop. I atop with'saying that the fanatical aud one-sided to- tal-abstinenco people (well-mesuing a8 thoy un- doubtedly are) have neither the roligion of tho Old nor the New Toustamoent, but hayve. mado unto thomwolves & new religion, which they falsoly labol ** Christisnity.” Respootfnily, 5 B, FELSENTHAL, Rabbi.

Mr, 1Iooke tinally appeared, and rend the roso- lutions, after which, on-motion, thoy wero adoptod, and tlio Chair announced that thoy wers vefora tha house for diseuskion, MR, KEDZIR sald that o supposed tho lutont of the motion was to recoivo tho resolutions. No one objact- g, he procecded with his speeoh, whichi he statod that ko uu]‘lgnaml ho wos expected to make. Water, said Mr. K., was ono of Nature's choicost gifts, and the citizons wanted all thoy could getof it. 'The only question was ns to the timo and wmaunor of obtalning it. They wora borated for being slow, o do-notiing party. In o matter of this importance he thought It wise aud prudent to go at thio work in a calm aud do- liberate manner. ‘I'ho reason why some objscted to groing ahead in the wny proposod Dby tho present Doard of Trustecs was that they wero already a very high- ly-taxed community, They wera taxed very Liigh for school purposes. Then the University folt that it was justiicdin keoping n lorge amount of proporty froo from taxation, Theso lienvy taxos woro one thing to bo considered at this time. Then tho Trustees, had decidod to put in the mains and pumping-works at public expenso, by tho issuing of bunds. It was pro- posed to tuke tho water from a point uear the light-house, That would bring it rght down ihrough (hio University properiy. It wns pro- posed that tho small pipes should bo put in by assossment. Until tLin year they had lnd yory l{fhl taxen, It was clnimod that” tho bonds could bo negu- tintod for 8 per cont. There wowd bo £8,000 for the intorest on the honds, Thon, if the works coyt $125,000, thore would bo ©45,000 ro-~ quired by taxation to comploto tho works, In addition to n)l this, ho thought theso worka wonld coat 12,000 & yenr for running oxponsos. Ho hiad counted the houses on tho stroeta whore the pipes were to ba run, aud found just 400, Not more than half of these, he thought, could Do counted on to pay snything for tho water. Ho Lelioved tho project premature nt tho pres- ent timo. If postponad a littlo white, it would Lo advisable, Tho town was increasing in size and population, and it would soon Lo easior to cniry onb this work, Bbll, if it was neceseary, o Lhiought thera were other plans prelerabls to the ono proposed. 1lis proposition was to form © stock company, without expecting to make any money, which could build tho works, 1o was willing to subseribe $1,000 to such o compauy, and to havo it hand tho works over to tho villagoe whon complotod, only asking it to assumo the Londs which would Liave to bo tssued. . He rofutod the chargo that he was not a pul lic-spirited eitizen, and gaid ho was alwnyas wille ing to do his share. But he snw boforo him mauy of thoe horny-handed ons of toil, whose facod woro bronzed by hard labor in the sun, who found it diflieull to pry thoir taxes, He hnd also anmother plan. This was to put in wooden pipes, if tho works must go in, If those would auswer as well and cost less than iron pipes, lot thom bo usod. Also, thattho work could bo done cheaper if it was all pud for Ly nesossmont. 1Io said that he lLud uever had apleco of property in Chicago nsossed for a uplio improvement which had not immediately nereased in value more than enough to poy the agacsgment. [Applause.] MR, HUGH A, WHITE was called on, and responded. ITe thought a great many did ot underatand what wae moant by water-works, In Bvanston the citizons did ot know what taxos wera, yob in ono souso they did know, Io said ho reprosented n good doal of property in Chicago, nud owned somo propor- ty in Lvauston, and ho would be sorry to sco anything douo that would mur its prospority. The houses in tho villnge avernged 100 feot apart, and, in Iaying pipos, & lirge amount of yacaut property would bo supplied. What wae this thing going to cost? It was fouud last yoar that the works would cost ©126,000 whon rendy for oporations, DBut it wos now proposod to locato them furthor off, which would cost moro for oxtra pipe. Iron was now much liongar, but might go'up beforo tio pipos woro lnid. Anothor exponse was that of putting pipes in- to and through the housos. This would average %200, In biwold pine shanty, eaid Mr. White, tho pipes would not last through the winter, but would burst. Whon the works were bnilt, thoy would lmve to put the pipes in, or thoy could not sell their property. "Tho sponker also roforrod pathatically to the poor mon who would be forcod into this enterprise by mon who had more money than they know ~what to do with. Aftor tho works wore started there would bo other exponses. 1n Rock Island, he suid, the annual exponse of the works was abont SH,UGD. In Evanston, conl would cost much mote, and tho exponso would bo at lonut $8,000, In Peorin, where, 8 1n the other places, ho hold property, it bad_mot incrowsed a ceut in valuo since they got tho works. In Bouth Bond his iuformant said ho thought the works wore n good thing, but was afraid they would be & humbug. This man wns op- posed to tho water-works, Iu Laporte, Iud., thoir works had cont upwards of $150,008, by tha depreeiation in the value of their bonds.” Not half the cittzous uged tho water, and tho works woro running behind from £5,000 to §6,000 cach yoar. The speakor stated that ho was altorney Tor the Iast Board, and knew somothing of thelr invostigations, What Information they got way from water-works men, Ilis informauts wero unprojadiced, excopt tho South Bend man, and waro reliablo nuthority. Bo far ag related to {mttlng in Improvements, Mr, Whito eclnimed that tho property in the places named had not gone up in value. Ono yoar ago o potition asking for sowernge was pre- #onted to the Board, but thoy shoved it into o pigeon-hole, and loft it. It had boen suggested that, whon o man drank_ s barrel of boer, ho must have o disin, aud Evanston must bhave Bowerngo. NOMINATIONS.
