Practically, Mr. Ludlow Is the best kind of a temperance reformer, So far us his presses disseminate the inild virtues of the Ohlo apple .or increase the culture of the moral Catawba grape they discourage inebrioty In every form, But # censorlous world will be apt te say tat he Is: net an unselfish reformer; that he seeks to encour age tho sale of iis presses by enforcing 0 rigid teetotal Jaw, rather than mate the Inw unnecessary by fnereaslng the production of eller and native wine, A considerable lass of reformers, too, Jook npon elder when itis hard with unaitectud horror, and the stomachle dissenslons whielt it may cause to Its most potent form are vecasion enotizh for the censure of the plty- ing morallst. Mr. Ludlow, we fear, will have to step aside, Gex.

As Gen, Grant says, this country has a way of sur vivitig milsfortiines; It has survived many calainities, and uf yurlous kinds—social, financlat, and polltleal.
