A remarkable temperance movement com- 

 menced in the closing days of the year at 

 Washington Court-House. Dio Lewis was 

 lecturing on Christmas Eve on the subject of 

 "Woman and ber Influence," and in the 

 course of the lecture suggested that the wom- 

 en make an attempt to suppress the liquor- 

 traffic in the town. A meeting of women was 

 held next day in the rhurrh, when a comuiittco 

 of three women, wives of three prominent 

 clergymen of the place, read an appeal to the 

 liquor-dealers, asking them to abandon the 

 traffic. A committee of sixty women was at 

 once formed, and these went with the appeal 

 to the several drinking-places, where the ap- 

 peal was read, hymns sung, and prayers of- 

 fered. On the third day the proprietor of the 

 saloon first visited closed up his business, and 

 gave the stock of liquors to the wonfrn, who 

 rolled the barrels into the street, staved in the 

 heads, and set fire to the contents. Other 

 liquor-dealers did the same, until in a few days 

 eleven out of the thirteen liquor-shops of the 

 village were closed. 



OLOZAGA, Don SAtusnAifo, a Spanish 

 statesman, born at Logrono, in Old Castile, 

 Spain, about 1*>3 ; died in Enghcin, Belgium, 

 September 2ri, 1878. He received his general 

 and legal education at Logrono, and, having 

 been admitted to the bar, commenced pnn -tier 

 there as an advocate.. Not long after he be- 

 came concerned in political intrigues, and in 

 1881 he was arrested and imprisoned for taking 

 part in a conspiracy against Ferdinand VII., 

 Imt ho contrived to escape to France, where 

 he remained till the death of the King in 1888. 

 Two year* later he became a member of the 

 Cortea, and was one of the moat able mem- 

 bers of the opposition to the Isturiz ministry. 

 In 1838 he supported the ministry of Mendi- 

 zabal, and when the insurrectionary move- 

 ment of La Granja compelled that minister to 

 retire, Olosaga became chief of the monarchi- 

 cal ppitinn. The following year, on his 

 motion, the Cortes passed a bill for suppressing 

 the tnnnn-tcriv*. for electoral reform, ami for 

 the abolition of ecole*iasticnl tithe-. During 

 the struggle between Espartero and Narvaoz, 

 Jloxag* fearing the ambition of the former, 

 refused to support the proposition to prosecute 

 the Utter for his part in the insurrection of 

 thai Tour. Hut. on the accession of Espartero 

 to power, Olouga wa made ambassador to 

 France, a post which he held from 1840 to 

 1843. When Espartero had rendered himself 



unpopular, and the revoluntary junta at Bar- 

 celona proclaimed the majority of Isabella, Olo- 

 zaga was called from I'aris to form u ministry. 

 Although Olozugu displayed great energy nt 

 that time, he was unable to maintain i i- 

 position against the opposition of the Cortes 

 and the intrigues of Naruiez. who was really 

 the most powerful person at Madrid. Olozagii. 

 however, repaired secretly to the puliiee and 

 induced the Queen to sign a decree I'or a 

 dissolution of the Cortes. But he was abandon- 

 ed by the Queen and was obliged to tly to 

 Portugal, while a proposition was under dis- 

 cussion in the Cortes to execute him as guilty 

 of high treason. Norvacz then formally as- 

 sumed the chid' control; Marie-Christine was 

 recalled, and the Constitution of 1837 was 

 revised in a conservative sense. The chiefs of 

 the opposition being powerless against the 

 dictatorship of Narvaez, Oloznga regained a 

 portion of his popularity. He returned to 

 Spain in 1847, on the faith of the amnesty 

 which had been proclaimed ; but he was im- 

 mediately arrested by order of Narvaez, mid 

 imprisoned in the citadel of Pampeluna. Ik- 

 was condemned to exile, but the popular agi- 

 tation compelled the Queen to sign an order 

 for bis recall, and be was permitted to take 

 his place in the Cortes at the head of the 

 Progressists. During the troubles in 1848 he 

 was arrested, but soon released. In the revo- 

 lution of July, 1854, when the Queen was ob- 

 liged to place Espartero at the head of the 

 Government as the only means of arresting 

 the insurrection, Olozaga attached himself to 

 the fortunes of that minister. In the Cortes 

 he voted for maintaining the monarchy, kicp- 

 ing his place, however, among the Progreaa- 

 ists. He favored the liberal laws adopted in 

 1855, and even united with the extreme Lett in 

 the discussion of a motion of Figueras in regard 

 to titles of nobility, and in the proposition to 

 censure O'Donnell after the troubles at Sara- 

 gossa. The revolution of July, 1866, in which 

 O'Donnell was successful, again deprived Olo- 

 gaza of his influence with the Government. 

 After the revolution of 1868, by which Qnecn 

 Isabella was deprived of the throne, Olozaga 

 warmly favored the new Government. lie re- 

 turned from Paris to Madrid, where he was re- 

 ceived with enthusiasm. Having received the 

 appointment of ambassador at Paris, he de- 

 parted for his post the same year. He was re- 

 appointed in March, 1869, after a short i 

 dence at Madrid. He was appointed to the 

 same postforthe third time in February, 1871 ; 

 but was elected President of the Chamber of 

 Deputies at Madrid, by 168 against 110 v 

 on the 4th of April, 1871. He was defeated 

 at the autumn session of the Cortes, and soon 

 .liter returned once more to Paris as ambassa- 

 dor, where he remained until his last illness 

 compelled him to go to Belgium in the hope 

 of relief.
