The "Scouts of the Prairie " drew another
good house at the theatre last evening. One
of the most effective things in the drama is Ned
Buntline's temperance address to a wayward
son of the Emerald isle wlie has strayed off
among the Indđians and is given too much firewater.
Ned draws a terrible picture of the fall
of the drunkard, and delivers the address with
the power of a man who has experienced all the
misery he paints. It is to the credit of this eccentric
genius that after years of dissipation he
reformed, and is today, an, earnest apostle of
temperance everywhere and on all occasions,
Ned doesn't hesitate to go into a bar-room and
launch out his maledictions against rum whenever
he thinks he can accomplish any good.
