There always has been great quantities
of liquor drank in this, as well as in many
other, places, but we think that never
beforo was tnero so many exhibitions of
drunkenness as during tho present winter.
Although tho town boasts of a working
lodge of nearly cr quito ono hundred
members, it does not make one effort to
prohibit tho sale of liquor, and right in
their midst aro seen every week, nnd I
might say every day, some promising
young man or men reeling in drunkenness.
We often read oi men disgracing them
selves and families by the use of ruiu, and
it will bo looked upon as a terrible thing,
when at tho samo timo we need not look
in nowspapors to learn of such things, but
right in our own streats. Not long ago
thero was a beer shop which furnished a
substitute for something stronger, but
when the Lord saw fit to purify it by lire
then tho stronger was resorted to, and just
without the limits of this town it is allowed
to bo poured out by the keg, gallon or
quart to any one who wishes it, and if this
lodgo has not tho backbone to stop it, will
not tlio lodgo in tho town where it is sold
so freely take the matter in hand. If that
lodgo is afraid to attack the miserable
place alone cannot the two combino their
strength, and do so much as to make an
attempt at closing it. If they fail, will
not some citizen of one of the towns take
tho matter in hand. One can chaso a
thousand and two put ten thousand to
flight. It is timo something beside looking
and talking about it was done.

tho pastor, who is very highly esteemed
by his people for his work's sake. Ho is
really a pastor, a good shepherd, and feeds
his flock. All seem to appreciate it, both
in the church and out.

J. B. Watson of Toronto, Canada, a
Quaker preacher, gave a lecture or rather
preaohed in tho Mothodist church last
Sabbath evening to a largo and apprecia
'ivo audienoo. Subject, ns announced,
Ingersoll Answered. He took for his text
Isaiah 53: 11, " He shall see of tho travail
of his soul, and shall bo satisfied." He
preached a very good pospol sermon
showing that tho object of Christ's mission
and suffering was being accomplished in
the spread of gospel truth, and thus the
travail of his soul is being satisfied. That
no lifo out of harmony with Christ could
be a satisfied lifo; that Ingersollism took
away tho only foundation on which n
person could rost and bo satisfied. Mr.
Watson delivored a looture on Monday
evening in Bullnrd's Hall, under the
auspices of the young ladies' club of tho
M. E ohurch; subject, Socioty Unmasked.
Tho looture is spoken of very highly. Ho

Another great French name is tiddod to
the necrology of tbo rear that of Gui-tave
Dore, the anist. Ho was nn Alsatian born
at StiasbRrgh in January, 1832. Although
just finishing his lifiieih year he leaves
behind him tlio record of being the most
-roliliu diatiglittin in thn century has
prodncod. He began li'S art career in
Paris at tlio ng of 1G His earliest
attention was paid to illusti ating famous
authors, mid in that field his best work
whs done embracing thousands of draw
ings from Danle, Shakespeare, Milton,
Balzio. Rabelais, Tennyson, Cervantes,
Coleridge, Ch iueer, Taine, La Fount-tine,
Victor Hugo and many others, and includ
ing remarkable isolated works like his
drawings from the "Bible," his "Wander
ing Jew," and Ilia London. These
illustrations gave Dure a world wide fame;
they are held in every possible grade of
estimation, sometimes praised ad nauseam
and again dispraised in the samo ratio.
Besides this wonderful mass of productions,
Dore found timo to paint many pictures
in oil, nnd to model in clay. He was
deficient in sense of color, and never took
high rank as a painter, but was considered
to givo much promise in uulpture, which
ho took up lato in life
It will Ijn remembered that during tho
strike of the freight handlers in New York
city last July, a largo ain junt of freight
estimated at 300,000 tous, accumulated in
that city. Tho railroad managers gave as
a defence fur permitting this accumulation
of freight, inability to deliver it becauso
the freight handlers refused towork unless
thy were paid three cents an hournioro
than tho tho wages the company offered.
When this matter was taken into the court
last summer, Judge Haight decided that
a writ of mandamus, compelling the rail
roads to receive and carry merchandise,
could not issue. Tlio matter went to tho
general, term nnd was passed upon by
JuIges Davis, Brady and Daniels, who re
verse Judge Haight's decision, and declare
that in such cases Iho railroads can he
compelled to take and deliver freight. In
their decision tbo Judges referned to take
Iho most advancod doctrines of the courts
relative to the power of tho state ovor the
management of railroads. Such corpora
tions exist by the consent of tho people
through their representatives. Thoy do
not exist for their own pleasure but,
while being profitable to the owners and
managers, to accomodate tho public, from
whom they have received special favors.
Judge Davis says that the state, by its
courts, can compel a railroad company to
operate its railroad as ono continuous lino
to build fences and cattle guards, to run
daily trains, and to reestablish abandoned
stations, etc. all of which are expressed
or implied obligations arising from char
ters, but not moro than the duty to carry
freight and passengers. In other words,
no plea save that of physical inability will
sorve as a reasonable dt'fonoo for neglect
or refusal to perform its part of a special
contract witn tuo state.
me iiviL uiuiirs decision. ino nrfj
of the so called "civil rights cases" has
just been passed upon by tho supreme
court of the Unitoil States, and the law,
upon which tho caso rested, section 5,519,
of the revised statutes, has been declared
unconstitutional, and its passage a trans
gression by Congress of its constitutional
powers. The quostion in dispute was the
power of Congress to enact a law pumli
ing conspiracy to deprive persons or
classes of persons of equal protection,
privileges and immunities under the laws
of the stato. It was sought to defend tho
enactment of the statute under the powers
granted Congress to enforce by proper
legislation the thirteenth, fourteenth und
fifteenth amendments. Tho supremo court
holds that no power to punish criina is
grunted to Congress under tho fifteenth
amendment inasmuch as that article
relates only to the right to voto. Tlie first
section of the fourteenth amendment can
not be invoked to justify laws for the
punishment of individuals, for it rotates
expressly to the state action. Tlio thir
teenth amendment simply abolishes
slavery, and can not bo interpreted as
granting Congress an extension of power
over individual offouses against person or
property. The court decides accordingly
that nono of theso amendments formally
or in spirit have invested Congress with
power ovor tho whole cataloguo of crimes
and offenses by ono private citizen in
Invasion of the rights of another, conferred
by a stato of whicn they aro both residents
and citizens. In effect tlio decision
abolishes some of the "war legislation,"
and materially curtails the power assumed
at ono lime by Congress. Inasmuch ns
there is no longer occasion or desire to
exercise such extended authority, the
decision will practically leavo Congress
where it is by its own volitioD.
The civil rights bill, embracing sections
1977 to 1991, and supplementary
enactments, including tho section just
declared unconstitutional became law in
May 31, 1K70. Many of its features were
included in the original civil rights bill of
March, 18G3, which lead to tho rupture
between President Johnson and tlio
republican Congress. The bill was
vetoed at tho time, and sub equontly
pissed over the voto nnd became a law.
It was supplemented by tlio portion of
revised states statues known by the title
of civil rights, now in litigation, during
the reconstruction legislation of General
Grant's first term, and was aimed in part
against tho Kuklux and other secret
political associations which threw the
south for a time into a stato of lawlessness
and ai ined conflict.
Lii'i'iNi OTT's Magazine for February
opens with a descriptivo paper on "Sara-
gossa, by a. 1 . hcott, wlncli is well writ
ten and attractively illustrated. "Homo
Life in Bombay" is graphio and livoly.but
docs not present a seductive picture of the
Indian city as a residence for Europeans
and Americans. Dr. Wister's account of
"A Cruiso Among tho Windward Islands,"
concluded in this number, conveys, on tho
other hand, so fascinating an idea of the
scenery and winter climate of most of the
places which he visited as to excite envy
and longing in the mind of the northern
reader. Ed ward C . B ruco writes of"Our Na
tive Fauna" in a very pleasantsemi-scien-tific
strain. "This Our Brother,"by Louise
Seymour Houghton, depicts the condition
nnd character of tbo frecdman in Florida,
and whilo admitting many excuses for his
failings and vices, protests against the
indiscriminate alms giving of northern
tourists as an encouragement to laziness
and improvidence. Tho anonymous
author of "Beauty Versus Brio n-Brao''
denounces tho prevailing rago for rarities,
and contrasts tho vulgar Uesiro to own
objects of art and the appreciation of
them by n mere pecuniary standard with
the true worship of beauty as evinced by
the Greeks. In the socond installment of
The Jewel in tho Lotos'' tho separate
threads devoloped in tho first are gathered
up and woven together, giving promiso of
a strong and well sustained interest ns the
story proceeds. "A Wayside Episode,"
by Rebecoa Harding Davis, is written
with characteristic vigor nnd manv fine
toucbos of humor and pathos. "Tho
Queer Service" and "A Work ol Imagina
tion" aro clover nnd amusing short stories,
and tho editorial departments are, ns
usual, well lined.
