A writer in the Iuteriur admits that the tem- Pperance agitators have no bope of obtaining probibitory Jegisintion for at leust fifty years t9, come. Iu pince thereof he maintains that the’ time is ripe for the entire separation of the sale of beer and whisky. -We can gecure the intlu- ence and votes of the Germans in this effort. Why? Why, because, while German saloon- Keepers may oppose it,German beer-drinkers, who, with us, see the evil effects of whisky, and yet who claim they are temperance People, wil Unite with us. By what process shall we do it? by discriminating, not in. favor of becr, but wainst whisky. Let the license for selling beer be ds, und make the icense for selling whisky at least 1.000 in large cities. “ Becr- ecllers will sell whisky as “now. The whisks- sellers will watch that, you muy depend upon it. ‘What Hood will it do? Itwill separate the sale, and that isa great point eained. Thousands of young men, clerks, bovikeepers, laborers, who are rupidiy becom- nv whisky drunkards while claiming to drink only beer, would be compelled to stop or face the etiema and disgrace of opents enteriug whisky sutoons. One-half of them would stop drinking: whisky, Why? Because. speaking tor myself and voicing as I know 1 do the opinion of a ma- jority of safe business men, I know that where a Young inun gets into the babit of whisky-driak- he enn no longer be depended upon.

Public opinion would soon be Buck that no man who nad 2 responsible position that he cared to keep would dare be seen enter- ing 1 whisky-galoon. ° * 4 honestly believe that the total separation ot the sule of whisky and beer, with a heavy license for selling whisky, would reduce the annual crop of drunkards one-bulf in ten years. GERMAN METHODISM. German Metbodieu in this country originated in Cincinnati. Forty-four years, ago it com- menced its prosperous carcer in the upper room of a shanty iow dark alley.- The preacher, the venerablo Dr. Nast, who 10-day looks like some Patriarch of the ancient times, was a Professor of Greek and Oriental literature from the halls of Tubinwen, and had been a fellow-student of the infidel Strauss, but in the wilds of the West bad embraced Methodism, and, leaving his pro- tessional chair in the halls of Kenyon, went out. topreach the Gospel. The Mission in Cincinnati from time to time received reinforcements, un- ul 4 church was bulit on lace street, near Thir- tecnth, which only afew weeks ago was torn down to muke room for a more modéro and commodious structure. One of the earliest con- verts was a leurned infidel, who carried the Gus- pel from Cincinuati to his bretbren in Missouri, Where jmultitudes were converted. The Ger mun missions suon spread east and west.—ta Boston and St. Paul,—and as far south as Texus. Jn conneetion with the operations of the Ger- ian Caurch, through the indefatigable labors of Dr. Nust,a German Methodist literature was gotten up, consisting of transtations of standard works on theology, Christian experience, biog- raphy, and for years he has been employed in Writing a Commentary on the Bible, adapted to Bethodist theology, for the use of the German ministry. For many years he has beea editor of the Christliche Apologete, though on account of his udvanced.age the active work has for some time past devolved on the Rev. H. Krehbiel, PERSONALS. Sfrs.

The Sbah has notitied bim that he must not preach to Mussul- mans, and that if he continues to do so he will be arrested. As auarrest under the orders of the Shub méans beheading, Mr. Potter will have to leave or else keep quiet. 3 Some ministers are but notall, Apastor not 1,000 miles from Chicago received an extra dividend of $3,000 the other day on some stock, andit was found be had other stock and bonds to the amount of $120,000.

Brother Murray’s “ good time coming" is as yet in the somewhat indefinit future, however. . PIOUS PLEASANTRIES. Alas, for the ritual knowledge of the inno- cent! A Sunday-school teacher, somewhat mn- lined’ to ritualism, recently asked a pupil, ‘What fs incense.”? “Copper, ma’am,” was the ‘innocent reply. ‘Ma says cents are made of copper, and sometimes they make them of nickel.” “f shall know better next time,” said Mrs. Keepupwiththestyle. “That hateful milliner told me that hat was something new, and thoro was four hats just like it in church. But I might have known better; I saw the new moon over my left shoulder. Of course I'd be un- ducky! : Freddy Miles, of Cleveland, aged 4, accom- panied: his purents to church. On entering which, in compliance with devout Episcupalian custom, they kneeled and bowed low. As they resumed their goats, thus' Master Fred: “Is you ‘fraid cause God is bere?” “Why no, child!” Then what makes you hide?” Some little girls in a Towsontown Sunday- school were studying tho history of David, the passage of the duy being that which describes the shepherd's victory over Gullah. The teacher asked the question, “ Now can any of you little girls tell me who killed the giant?’ Quick as thought one of the smallest responded, * Juck.” A merchant ja a provincial town in Scotland had a babit of saying, “It mighthae been waur” toeverything thut was told him, however sad the story might be. A neighbor, thinking that he would knock the wind out of him, one morn- ing suid: “Mun, [ bad an awful dream iast night.” “Ay, what did ye drean.?” * Idreamed that Iwas inbell. “It might bae been waur.” “How could it hae been waur?” “If it had been a reality.” Judge Chamberlain, of New Britatn, Conn., tells a good story of a little nephew of his who ht not long ago was saying his prayers during a thunder-storm. Just before he bad concluded he asked his mother to step.from tho room as he had something private to pray for, and his mother, listening outside the door, beard these words: ‘Oh! Lord, please don’t let it lighten any more”—and just then there came a heavy clap of thunder—" nor thunder either, for that's a darned sight worse.” ‘The review passed splendidly through all of Job’s afflictions, and the exercises had reached the question, “ Who comforted Job?” which was confidently put by the pastor and as fearlesly responded toby a little bright-eyed: girl in tho assembly. whose raised and agitated nand ex- pressed beranxiety to answer. The pastor'soye caught the zealous activity of his little scholar, and pleased to gratify the child's desire, he said: “ Well, Gracie, speak up loud now; who was it comforted Job” And the response came clear and with sincerity, “ His sisters and his cousins and his aunts.” CHURCH SERVICES. © EPISCOPAL.

Another of the delightful series of entertain- ments was given Wednesday afternoon under the auspices of the Chicago Musical College at Apollo Hall, Central Music-Hall building. A large nudience was present, and evidently listened to the various performances with .sin- cere satisfaction. A good program bnd been prepared for this. occasion. Miss Lillie Boyer performed two numbers of Schumann,—" Even- ing Song,” op. 85, and * Arabesque,” op, 18. The numbers were well played, {1 an Interesting manner and with excellent expression. Miss Jennie Mahon gave an admirable interpretation of the difticult Chopin Scherzo, op, 31. Bargicl, whose music is comparatively unknown here, was represented by au inpromptu, op. 44. which Miss Blanche Sargeant played excellently. She has improved in numerous ways since she ap- peared last." An interesting feature of the con- cert was the first appearance of Bir. C. N. John- son. This gentleman impressed al! present with his fine. musical accomplishments, Naturally gifted, be- has so trained his talents as to make them serve to good purpose in the artistic world. He played Thulverg's arrungoment of “Home, Sweet Home” and Liazt's * Rigoletto fantasia with much skill and beauty of expres- sion. A vory fine performance was that of the Beethoven Sonata, op. 26, by Miss Gertrude Car- hart. Gottschalk’s *Kadicuse” was played with spiritand dash by the Misses Vaughn, Tho vocal number, by Miss Lena Weiss, was the cause of much musical enjoyment. The Misses Jennie Wendell, Eda Elicl, and Katie Ocsterle read several selections with effect and guod rhe- torical skill. HERSHEY SCHOOL CONCERTS. Mrs. Grace Hiltz Glenson gave her second song recital at Hershey Hall lust Monday afternoon with a choice program: from the works of Handel, Haydn, Bach, Schubert, Schumann, and Franz, Muny of tho numbers had not been heard here before... Mrs. Gleason's success on this occasion was very gratifying, the arla “As When the Dove,” by Handel, “ ‘The Serenade,” and “"Tis the Dark Green Leaves,” by Franz, being especially well sung. | - ce . Mrs. William H. Sherwood gave her fifth and last pianoforte recital before the pupils of the Hershey School last Tuesduy evening. Bach, Leetnoyven, Chopin, Schumann. Moskowski, and Kuitak were all represented upon her. program. A most interesting novelty wus the Scherzo in Buatof Noskowski, which has never before been played in public in Chicngo. Although its author's op. 1, it is oneof the most charming piano works we have heurd in a long time, com- ining freshness and originality with » finished workmanship. It was exquisitly interpreted by Birs. Sherwoud. The Beethoven Souuta, op. 101, also received a must discrim.nating and care- fully considered rendition. But perhups the mest remarkuble Lumber upon the program, both us regards conception and presentution, was the “Curneval”’ (“Scenes Mixnon”) of Robert | Schumann, in: twenty-one pumbers, of fhe, most varied ~ char- ucter. ‘'o play these one after the other, each with its ndequate ‘expression, requires ‘the most versatile talent, and it is suiicient praise to say thut Mrs. Sherwood gecomplished the task in w highly sutisiuctory manner, entering fully into the spirit, of cuch number. . Mrs. Grace Hiltz Gleason san Scarlatti's “Le Violette” and Schubert's *Lores Message” in un exquisitly artistic manner, and Prof. James Gill guve the “ Pro Peccatis" from Roasini’s “Stabat Mater” with bis usual fine tuste. PERSONAL. During tho recent normal course of the Her- shey School Mr, A. F. McCarrell, the organist of Grace Episcopal Church-in this city, bas given two important recitals upon the organ in Her- shey Music-Hull. His programs were well cho- sen, and contained muny of the best works in the literature of music for the organ. Tho principal -numbers wero -the-following:-Daoh'o Gruud'Preludea and Fugues in ‘A minor and Bminor, Rheinberger’s * Pastoral Sonata,” op. $8; Guilmaut's fouate in D minor, No. 1; the “ Allegretto ” in B minor.. op. 19; and Fugue in D, op. 25; Liszt's Grand Plelude and Fugue on U. A.C. HL, and the Thiele variutions in A fiat. In all of these masterpieces Mr: MeCarrell dis- played a highly-duveloped technique, combined with unusual skill in registration. His pedal exccution is remarkably smooth and even, and the manner in which he Overeame the diflicul- ties in the wreat Thiele variauous alone indi- cates exceptional taient.
