The question of hotf fur a newspaper sbould go in tiie publication of obscene mat tor is duly discussed by M. J, Savage in the North American Jtevicio for August. The paper on thc subject is entitled "A Profane View of tlio Sanctum." Although written before tlie Pall Mall Gazette, exposures were made it seems almost to have n special bearing upon the questions of newspaper ethics which - have >yituin the lust fow weeks been thoroughly discussed iu both England and America. The position taken ,by Mr. Savage is not un extreme one; but he maintains that newspapers frequently go beyond their province and publish sensational matter, not so much as news but for tho sake of tlio sensation. He muiutains that the excuse that the people demand such matter and buy the papers containing it is in reality no excuse, for, as he says, "That line of defense would be equally good on behalf of tho lowest groggeries, or of houses of prostitution, or gambling dens."—Seattle Post. ■ British Columbian.

For pnrtleiilin-a apply on th premises to U. WEST Or, Messrs. DRAKE, JACKSON, aplStc A HELMCKKN, Vletorla jom-nal sutfli an unenviable fame, and it is possible to give liim the benefit of 'the doubt. The editors who have copied his articles make the same claim, but in their mouths it is false nnd hypocritical.' They have been actuated solely by a desire to make money, at whatever cost of pride and honesty. Their attempts to justify themselves are pitiable. They have. earned, and they must bo content to bear, the contempt of every decent man and woman in America."—Tho Week When the English cutter, the Genesta, arrived in New York harbor the othor day as a competitor in the coming international contest for the America Oup, American yachting men viewed the stranger with some surprise, and tlie inspection seemed to kindle within thom a strong hope that the trophy would remain on this side of the Atlantic. The Genosta, notwithstanding her record, hudn't the look of n phenomenally fast craft. Sho was not us trim and graceful as some of Iier rivals. Her spread of canvas was not as great ns had been alleged, and a careful measure meat was taken to provo this. Even tho most cautious observers, while ready to admit tlmt the cutter might have more in her timn appeared upon the surface, were not at aU alarmed by the survey for the safety of the much-prized cup. It is worth while, however, noting the drift .-of prevailing opinion at present. Tlie defence of the cup has all along, in sporting circles been allotcd to the sloop yachts, the Priscilia or the Puritan. In her trial performance the former did not do exceedingly well, but the latter, judging from •the reports, showed such .wonderful Sailing qualities that uo room was left in tho mind of the ordinary reader for the most diminiitivo particle of expectation that the English contestant would have a ghost of a chanco to win. To-day, the New York Herald ts urging the committee of management not to be bound to enter either of these boats, but to seek nnd find, if possible, a yacht thnt is faster. than either; and the Tribune declares that the members ofthe New York Yacht Club, under whose auspices the race takes place, are staking their money Iti .large odds upon the Genesta.. It is i to be hoped that a fair raco will be hud, and that the Americans will not again resort to the dodges and quibbles with which they pestered the lifo out of Mr. Ashbury.— Toronto Globe. Tho New York Critic has refusfed to bo led astray by the hysterical rubbish which has recently Hooded the press on the PaU Mall Gazette's disclosures. Our valued contemporary traces the rapid decline of the London journal under Mr. Stead's regime. "Tho aim of tho editor seemed to be, not so much.to please us to excito, not so much'to achieve popularity as to command attention." From being "a paper written by gentlemen for gentlemen," it has now come to be a paper which, it is -'impossible for the head of a family ever to allow to enter his houso again. ..* * * It may be that Ins terrible revelations will do something toward checking the stream of vice and crime that runs with broader and more impetuous current in London than iu any other city in the world, simply because London is the largest and richest of the world's great cities. The editors of the Gazette know that the publication of the result of their researches wilt do a great deal of harm; but they are equally confident that the evils thus wrought will lie more.thnn counterbalanced by thc good accomplished. We trust it may.' Hut the good will be confined almost exclusively to London; its eflects will certainly extend but little, if at nil, beyond the limits of Great Britain; while the harm will spread as far as the English language is read," Tho Critic then proceeds: "Mr. Stead cluims to have been actuated by pure motives in making tho disclosures that have given his Hiiiing in the Mountains. It iB probable, saya tho Montreal Herald, that tho noxt --boom" in the Northwest will he a mining ono. A short time ago rumors lloated about that gold had buen fuund somewhere on the mountains in tho .neighborhood of the 0. P. K., and as everyone believes that there aro rich quart/, veins yet to be discovered in the Rooky mountains, the mention of a find arrested everyone's attention. Quickly following the first news camo more definite intelligence, and private letters to pnrties in this city.--an extract from dub of which is published in a local journal as follows: "The richest and largest quartz vein perhaps ever discovered has. been discovered within the past throe weeks at McCulloch creek. Tlie vein is two feet wide, and the quartz has yielded, on assay, 920,000 to the ton. McCulloch crock is a tributary of Gold creek, whieh empties into tho Columbia river about 50 miles above the second crossing of tlie Culumhia. Tho mountain is the ono which fed that creek on which such wonderful deposits of placer gold woro taken ont in 1850." That the gold fever will appear in an aggravated form may be taken for granted. Whore there is a McCulloch creek there ue probably other creeks fed by tho same mountain, nnd the reputation of the locality is such as to ensure a rush for the discovery of its hidden gold. And access to the auriferous region is now made so oasy by the C.P.R., that numbers who would othorwiso have looked from afar, aud longed with sueh resignation as they could command, will now bo up and doing, Tlio fortunes realized in California, at Biill.irnt, in Australia, in Nevada, Colorado, nnd other places, will be remembered, and tho opportunity for doing likewiso will seem to thousands tn be within their reach. Probably othor localities will ba found in valleys not yet suspected of containing this most precious of minerals, and mountaineers having mining proclivities, those who have once touched gold in tlio now abandoned bars and quartz mines, nre unremitting iu their search whilo hopo remains, and hope, oven in lose exciting circumstances, springs eternal in tho hutniui in-mint. If this find on the liend of thu Columbia proves to be a rich one tho old story of 1840 and its succeoding yoars will be repeated. Wlmt the Gatling DlOot. "It must have beon great fun to have Beo.n the ('Jailing mowing down the Half breeds," remarked a St. Paul lady to yuur correspondent on the way home hist week. "It would have beon great fun in its wny, porhaps," wns the reply, ''but unfortunately for the Gatliug and us, although thc Halfbreeds may louk upon it in a different light, there was uo mowing*—it was not the season.1' Sovoral cif the doctors and a number of officers made a point of inspecting tho" bodies of the dead rebels'the day aftor the chargo, and ono body was found with* three or four Gatling bullets close together in his chest. He was the only man killed by tho machine gun, so the rebels suy, and thoro is no reason to doubt it. As the General says, tho gun is very good for moral, but no use whatever for mortal effect. The (irst day the gun waB taken into rump nt Fish Creek a barrel waB put up on end at a rango of 300 yards, and the General, Howard, Straubenzie, Petors, Prury, and a score of the crack nrtilicryists and rifle Bhots did their best to hit it with the Gatling. Two hours must have been taken up by the practice and several hundred rounds expended, but only two or three bullets found tho staves. It Ib remarkable what little credit Lieutonnut Rivera hns got for the gallant manner, in which he tuok the Gatling into action. He took the gun everywhere it went, and if nny credit is givon-for this ho should got it. Howard, once the gun was in action, worked the crank and lever with a dash which has brought him a wonderful share of credit, and it wns n good thing hn was on hand, as once during the- first day's fight something wont wrong with tho gun, nnd without nn expert suoh as he along with the force, it would probably have remained disabled until it could have been sent to a workshop for repairs,— Cor, Montreal Star.

We don't know exactly how it came to pasa, hut she managed to Anchor in the middle of a cyclone of great and original powers, which tested her timbers to tlio utmost. Thocy* clmio tint tried to blow the ship right out of the water, hut not being able to do this, procccdod "othor gates" to do as much damage as possible. The sea rushed on board) filled the admiral's steam barge with water, and carried away her headgear, Anothor big wave dashed on to the Bacchante's deok, carrying everything before it, tearing tha punt frotn ita davits, and nuking matchwood of the whaler. The corvette's steam launch then went down bodily, and the admiral's launch capsized. The cabins of the Bacchante contained furniture which careered ahout as if it were drunk, and altogether tho ship had a bad quarter of an hour. We doubt had tho Bacchante gone down, if a" single soul would have been saved of those on board, Short of calling a cab nnd driving to shore, nothing could have been done, and we think thnt course might not at that moment havo boen practicable.—American (Paris) Regis* ler, TTUGHHS & ATKINSON, HEAL ESTATE BROKERS And Conveyancers.

It is to be hoped the horrors of the plague now to be seen in Spain muy not 1 repeated in any other country panic stricken have the people become that whole villages are almost deserted, and the detid have been suffered to lie unburied for day So When the consideration of the new land and timber regit hi tions was occupying the attention of tlie people of this district, Tin; GoiUM- BUN expressed the opinion that Mr. Homer, our representative in the commons, had not neglected to use means for securing the modifications so much desired. The official report of the senate debutes for July IGth shows this opinion to have been well founded. Oh the 16th Senator Mclnnes moved for papers relating to the obnoxious regulations, whereupon Sir Alex. Campbell, leader of the senate, said: "The attention of the government has been drawn to this subject again and again by an honorable member of the other house, who represents the electoral distriot of Westminster, Sir. Homer, who has exerted himself since tho beginning of tlie session to effect somo change respecting the lands and timber regulations relating to Dominion lands in Britisli Coiumbin, and the country will be indebted to him for any change that may be made. Of course there is no necessity for say: ing anything further on it, as the papers will be brought down aud will show the exertions ho has made." The testimony of Sir Alexander is clear, and emphatic, nnd uuupteu wall die fact thnt the niodi- fif.fi*****' ortnobf* in,, i» Mtb t-.imlio* and land regulations were obtained, should be proof enough u£ tlm industry of Mr. Homer while at Ottawa. The Steamboat Collision. There has been a great deal of conflicting evidence taken in connection with the lute steamboat collision, which shows how differently two people will be impressed by the same incident. One can easily imagine how passengers would give very untrustworthy evidence about distance und time under such circumstances,, but when Capt. Myers swears the Enterprise was 1,200 feet from the rock, and Mate Leech swears she was not more than 75 or 90 feet, one wonders how two professional men can so widely differ in their judgment The evidence showed plainly that the place where the accident happened is not easy of navigation in consequence of the strong tide and the eddies, and the coroner's jury saw proper to censure Capt. Insley for leaving the Rithet in the hands of the quartermaster under such circumstances. It wits shown that tlio steamers were very apt to tako a sheer at that point, and that there the two steamers usually passed each other. Under tliese circumstances one would havo expected that extraordinary precautions would have been taken by the commanders of both steamers to prevent accidents. Tliese precautions do not seem to have been taken at all. Tho Rithot was left in solo charge of a man who had no official status, und the mate had chargo of the Enterprise. Tlie weight of testimony is certainly in favor of the theory that tho .Enterprise sheered and got boyond control. Capt. TJrquhart, of thc tug Pilot, says that if the Enterprise was close to the kelp, as stated hy the oflicer in charge, "she must sheer when striking tiio tide." Surely then the officer at the helm, when he saw the other stoamer coming to pass at so critical a placo, ought to have taken no risks. There was plenty sea room, and no reasonable excuse for the collision. It seems to ub, in view of the evidence, that tho carelessness was not confined to the captain of the Rithot, There was on hoth steamers a failure to recognise the great responsibility of those to whom the safety of human lives had been entrusted, and it does not seem just to single out Capt. Insley as the only person deserving censure. [.ong t-refllts. Reform is the order of the day, and it may be snid with much reason that reform, like charity, ought to begin at home. It is a disputed point among men of the present day whether the world is growing botter or worse. Wo believe it grows better. We believe the tendency of civilization and Christianity, which have undoubtedly widened greatly the sphere of their influence, is to improve the condition of men. But the day is far off yet when there will bo found no room for reform. In our social life, in our political practices, in our business methods, there are many things still left for the hand of a reformer. One of these things, to which wo invite public attention this morning, is the present system of long credits. In times of general prosperity, when labor and money and trade are plentiful, tho evil results of credit may not appear upon the surface It is when employment becomes scarce and money tight that the evil appears most conspicuous. Then long credits produce a harvest of crippled finances and unnecessary bankruptcies. Thero are merchants iu this city with from 815,000 to $25,000 outstanding on tlieir books, and a large percentage of these accounts will never be collected. Some of them have been allowed to run for many years, and then to stand for many years more, and the longer they stand the less likely are they to bo paid. Thero are very few merchants doing a large credit business who would not. gladly dispose of their entire book accounts at a reduction of 10 per cent, for cash. Now, 10 per cent, on $20,000 amounts to $2,000. Thut is to say if the goods represented by these accounts had been sold forcash they could have been sold at 10 per cent, discount and the merchant would have had the same profit. If it is asked, who loses this $2,000 of bad debts, we reply the loss falls upon the persons who buy for cash, or else tlie merchant himself speedily goes into bankruptcy. .No merchant who gives long credits ever expects to collect all his accounts, and in fixing his scale of prices provision must be made for tins. He must receive a certain profit for handlin the goods so as to make the business pay, and that profit is materially lessened by bad dobts. The result is that the percentage of profit must be increased to an extent sufficient to covor these contingencies; and 4.1 ll ' -• , *'.* ■ who pays cash, are assessed for the losaos arising from bad debts. In a cash business tins unfairness does not exist. The merchant who gives no credit is ablo to fix his scale of profits upon principles that .are known, and not contingent upon the honesty or good fortune of his customers, and the result would be a reduction of from 10 to 20 per cent, in the prices of goods. There are many other considerations which enter into this question; but our present purpose is to bring i£ before the public that it may be fairly and honestly considered. It will be found that it is in the interest botli of the merchant and the consumer that business should bo done upon a cash basis, for both suffer serious loss from the credit system that prevails to such an alarming extent in this country, A.

It is true these terms are very general, but it may be safely predicted that having committed his party to a general advocacy of local sel-goveni- ment and Und law reform, Lord Randolph will in his own good time secure the adhesion of the young Conservatives to *a decidedly particulor and radical application of tho same principles.

Reoisa, Aug. 4.—After negotiations between the crown and counsel for the defence the following half-breeds prison- el's concerned in the rebellion, including Kiel's council, pleaded guilty this afternoon to treasou-felouy: Pierre Por&n* teau, Pierre Oariepy, Pierre Henry, Job. Delorme, Emanuel Chainpaigne, Maxime, Lepine, Albert Moukman, Phillip Garie- py, Jos.

Parauteau, Nolin, Swain and Fiddler were discharged. .Sentence will not be paused on the others for eight days, during wliich time the balance of the prisoners will be tried for murder. In the meantime, the crown counsel will urge thc government to treat those who pleaded guilty leniently- Murder trials cannot go on until more witnesses arrive from I tat Ur ford. Kiel has wrttteu a letter to United States Consul Taylor nt Winnipeg, asking the appointment of au international commission to sit on his case, and determine ub to his sanity. Father Andrea spout an hour with him, to induce him to make a it-cnututiou of Protestantism, but Riel strongly refused, saying lt was his conviction, and that he was resigned to die on Sept. ISlii, na his mission would lie accomplished. He. refused to give any information on the rebellion or other matter*, as he proposed publishing n book for the benefit of his family. London, Aug. fi.—Henry Labouehere, radical, in tho house of commons this aftornoon moved, und Sir Wilfred Law- son, radical, and Sir George Campbell, lilin-al, seconded the motion, that the house reject the appropriation bill' until thc present government explain their Kgyptiau policy. The terms upon which tho government had issued the Egyptian loan, Baid Mr. Labouohere, was a public scandal. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, chancellor of the exchequer, said: The government had sent Sir Henry Dniinmond Wolff as special envoy to the sultan. Thc last five years had greatly increased England's obligations toward Egypt, While tho govemment must refuse to stato at present what instructions Sir Henry Drmninond Wolff had oarried with htm or what the object of his mission was, the speaker could state In general tonus that "the government's policy k to pnt Egypt on a solid footing with re- jnrd to external defense, financially aud nternal administration. Our polioy is to gradually give security snd freedom to Egypt's independent aotion in the future." He could at present make uo statement regarding tho question of evacuating Egypt', but concerning tiie d -•) femes of the country and the position of affairs at Suakim, ho could say both were in a most unsatisfactory condition. Mr. LalKJiichere's motion was rejected. London, Aug. 9.— Mr. Herbert Gladstone, son of the ex-premier, in his assertion that nu alliance had been made he tween the Conservatives and I'niuellites hinted that Buron Stolswuld, of Nostelle, Mr. Rowland Wynne, wus promoted to tho House of Lords in return for his services in arranging tho contract between the two parties. Paris, Aug. 11.—Further advices from Tonquin says that Bishop Quinbon reports that over 10,000 Christians have been massacred in the provinces of Birn- deli and Phyyen. Murders and incendiary tires are of daily occurrence, Vi- carate has been annihilated.

This statement was cheered. Plaoebvillb, Cal. Aug. II.— James W. Marshall, the first discoverer of gold in California, died yesterday at his homo near. Kelsey. He was 74 years old, and diod a poverty-stricken and disappointed man, Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 11.—The Press says editorially; We are informed upon good authority that thc Salvation Army was at thc bottom of the recent Pall Mall Gazette revelations. The disclosures camo from oflicer*- af the army, from prostitutes and keepers of houses of ill-fame, who, having renounced their former life, had become active workers iu thc army. Tbe facts were laid before the Pall Malt Gazette after which ho decided to make an investigation. Converted members of the Salvation Army were enlisted in every possiblo way to assist the secret commission. Women again botook themselves to tlieir haunts and secured proofs of hidden infamy that would have been diflicult tu obtain but for their assistance. London, Aug. 13.—Reports are being continually received here of a great massing of Afghan troops at Herat. Paris, Aug. 13,-—Reports received today from Marseilles state that tho cholera thore has received fresh impetus, owing to the extreme heat; that the number of uew eases has steadily increased nud that thc disease is unusually fatal iu consequence of the heat. The autumn mantenvres in the south of France have boon abandoned on nccount of the prevalence of cholera. Tho French newspapers comment on the great number of German spies discovered recently in various parts of Franco. It is reported that the government decided to ordor the expulsion from French territory of all Germans who can be proven to be spies or who can reasonably bo suspected to be auch. The chamber of commerce has sent a memorial to tint government protesting against the pretensions of Germany in assuming 'the possession of Pott Zegnro and a little portion of the west coast*of Africa and urging the government to maintain the rights of France along that part of the African coast. Madrid.

The populace are hostile to doctors ami averse tu any interference in family affairs, aud they strongly support the local authorities. A great crowd assembled in all public places last evening to discuss tbo situation and tlio civil guardians were called upon to disperse them. 4,433 new eases of cholera were roported throughout Spain yesterday, and 1,048 deaths. Malta, Aug. 13.—A week's quarantine has been decreed against arrivals from Gibraltar, and it has been ordered that uo passengers from any Spanish or French Mediterranean ports shall be allowed to land here at all.

England will pay for the property destroyed. The Hepubiiqut Francaise maintains that an Anglo-Chinese alliance, offensive and defensive, against Russia, has beon perfected. The journal contends that if Kngland concludes a similar alliance with Turkey, war will be imminent. Caiuo, Aug. 13,—A fearful state of anarchy prevails iu Kordofan. There is famine also. Letters recoived from Suakim say that thc troops arc dyiug like flies. Sr. PKTEitsiii'iiii, Aug. 13.—All Russian ministers in tbe Balkan States have been sitiiiuumed to St. Petersburg to confer with the government previous to the coming meeting between the Czar aud Emperor of Austria. VIENNA, Aug. 13.- The minutes of the orders issued to the otlieiuls of the Northern Railway, concerning their conduct during the Imperial journey to Krein* xev to meet the IV-ar of Russia, have been Issued.

Russian (roups are erecting formidable forts ou the island, and othorwiso adding to its defensive arrangements. The news caused little or no excitement iu official circlos here, as Quel- poert has not a sinslo harbor, and ita coasts are exposed to tho full blasts of the* monsoon, and being high and rocky is exceedingly dangerous to navigation.

Address HARPER A BROfl., New York, What do Distinguished Men nnd Political Journals say ahout Intoxicating Drinks? A COHqCNSEU ANSWER FOR THE STUDY OF THE PEOPLE. Lord Chesterfield said in his tiny, "Lot us crush these artists in human slaughter, who have reconciled their country to sicltness nnd ruin, aud spread over the pitfall of debauchery such a.bait as cannot be resisted." Lord Brougham asked the question: "To what goud is it that tho legislature should pass laws to punish crime, or that Iheir lordships should occupy themselves in trying to improve tho morals of the peoplo by giving thom education? What could bo the use of growing a littlo seed here aud pliioking up a weed there, if these beer .shops aro to be colitintied to sow floods of immorality broadcast, over the land, germinating thu moat (rightful produce that ever litis been allowed to grow up in any civilized country, aud I am ashamed to add, under the fostering care of governments." Tho celeb rat eu Rowland Hill, said: "Public houses—the bane of tho country—excite the strongest indignation in my mind." Oliver Goldsmith, said: "Ale houses are ever an occasion of debauchery and excess, nnd eithor in a political ot- religious sense it would bo our highest interest to have thorn suppressed." Lord Bacon declared that "all the crimes on earth do not destroy so many of the human raco or alienate so much property as driiiik-emioss." Richard Oubdeii, une of the people s host friends, said: "Every day's experience tends more aud more to lhe conviction that tho temperance cause lies at lhe foundation of ull social aiid political reform." John Bright, another of thc people's champions, said: "A monster obstacle is. iu our way—strong driolc, by wliatover name the demon is styled, in whatever way it presents itself, this prevents our success; remove this ime obstacle, and our course will bo onward, and our labors will he blessed.'' Prof. Foster, stated: '"That the traffic in alcoholic liquors as beverages is productive of serious injury to the moral, social, and industrial wolfaro of tbe people. The evils of intemperance remain so vast in magnitude, so wide in extent, and so destructive in effect ns to constitute a social peril, and a national menace." Goldwin Smith, Canada's great thinker, says: "It is too clear that the rapid extension of this system of saloon drinking is threatening the very life of the community; that it is producing a physical and moral pestilence more deadly in the deepest sense than any othet plague which stalks the infected cilies of the East, that it is bringing great masses of our working classes min a self-imposed bondage, more complete and more degrading than slavery itself; that it is not only filling the present witli unspeakable misery and vice; but blighting the prospects of labor for the future." Dr. Guthrie, a celebrated Scotch diviue, says: --Intoxicating drink is thc foul parent of by far the lamer number of the evils tlmt curse our country, disgrace our churches, aud afflict humanity. It makes many virtuous women vile, ina-iy kind husbands unfeeling brutes, and loving mothers monsters." Speaking of a i.u-.i*i;ful ri.una girl who was deliberately drowned ,bv her own fnther in a fit.-f &M_ti.\A oUn.. ho t-avs..'-Shis onu of the many thousand victims otfured up, year by year, to the demon of this land." Couut de Muntuloinbert, member of the French National Academy, said "Whero theru is a wino shop, there are the elements of disease, and tho frightful source of all that is at enmity with the interests of the workman." ■ -lohn Vine Hull, father of the distinguished Rev. Newman Hall, was once a drunken disciple of Tom Paine, and so confirmed was the deep-rooted craving fer strong drinks that, nfter his reformation, it required upwards of 300 phials of a preparation of steel to eradicate it. When ill of typhus fever, wine being proposed by his physicians as essential to his recovery, he promptly replied, "I would rather die," In his 87th year, while Buffering from the effects of an accident and an operation which resulted in his death, >o great was his weakness that the doctors recommended wine, but he emphatically groaned out, "Never! Never!" He was the author of the ■Sinner's Friend, of which nearly 2,000,- 000 copies are in circulation. General Grant, just before his death, informed his physician, Dr. Douglas, "that ho hud declined alcoholic stimulants because ho believed they served only to heat his system without imparting strength." Physiology, through the dying general, thus rebuked the so-called medical science. Such is the testimony of "one of the greatest men tho American republic ever produced." Cardinal Manning states: "I wish that all trades may prosper etcept oue. The prosperity that I wish to thnt ono trade—the manufacture and sale of intoxicating drinks- is that it should cease. The evil ought not to be permitted to grow in order thai the police may be called in to repress it. Of this he was perfectly curtain, that if thu great drink trade expanded itself every year and continued its activity in intoxicating and poisoning thc men of this country, they would be every yenr losing their power of self-government ami the safety which came with it, and thoso very centers that ought to bo their safety would become their chief dangers." The Lord Archbishop of Canterbury says; "There is ono dreadful evil over* spreading the whole lnnd, which makes havoc of our workingmeti-- the ovil of Intemperance. Unless you make distinct and positive efforts against it you will bo neglecting an ovil which is eating out the very heart of society, destroying domestic life nmong onr working classes, and perhaps doing greater injury thnn any other cause that could be named in this ngo." The Loudon Telegraph says: "Our revenue may derive somu unholy benefit from thu sale of alcohol, but the entire trado ia nevertheless a covenant with sin and death," Tha New York Tribumsays; "Mnny people whu prido themselves on thoir practicality are wont to sneer at the opponents of the liquor traflic as mero 'sentimentalist-;.' No doubt there is much sentiment iu that opposition, but it is sentiment based upon the hardest of facts. The truth is that if nil the other evils that afflict society an pat together thoy will not nearly equal in weight and sinister elleots tin- one enormous and universal mischief of intemperance. Whenever we turn, in short, we encounter this subtle and sinister agency. It is a blight which lies heavy upon our civilization, and Whioh will have to be oleared away befon that civilisation ean become an object of just prido and satisfaction;'' Tho Loudon Tinum, long ago, declared that there was "no way so rapid to increase the wealth of nations and the morality of society that could be devised as tho utter annihilation of the manufacture of ardent spirits, constituting as they doan infinito waste and an unmixed evil. Drinking bafiles us, confounds us, shames us, and mocks us at overy point." My next will be what judges hnve said about alcoholic drinks. Wm. Kent, M. D. The Capture of Vlcksburg. A CURIOSITY IN SOUTHERN WAR LITERATURE A very well known and prominent American resident of Montreal has in his possession a curiosity which becomes of interest in connection with the death of Grant, He writes the Slat as follows: Thu death of (leiienil Grant recalls an incident, of the lato war iu the United Slates, which foreshadows the character of the mnn who was to bo the chief instrument iu bringing the war to a victorious close aud reuniting the United States into one nation. Tho following extracts from the Viekaburg Citizen of the 2nd of July, 18113, printed upon wall paper, now in my possession, serves to show the spirit of tho contestants at that time, aud is interesting as a relic of one of tho most gigantic wars of modern times. "On tilt, the great Ulysses, the Yankee generalissimo siminnieil Grant—-has expressed his intention of dining at Viok's- burg on Saturday next, and celebrating the 4th of July by a grand dinner, and so forth. When asked if he would invite Qon- eral Joe Johnston to dinner, he said, "No, for tliere will be a row at the table." Ulysses must get into the eity before he dines in it. The way to cook n rabbit is first to catch the rabbit, etc., etc." Then follows Good Newsi "Iu devoting a large portion of our space this morning to federal news copied froin the Memphis Bulletin of the '25th, it should he remembered that the truth in the original news is whitewashed by the Federal Provost Marshal who desires to hoodwink the poor northern white slaves. The former editor ot the BttlkUn being rather pro-southern was arrested for speaking the truth when truth was unwelcome to Yankcedom ami placed m the chain-i-aiig working at Warrantown, where they now are. This paper at present is iu distress and is edited by a pink-nosed, slab-sided, toad- eating Yankee, who is a lineal descendant of Judas Iscariot and brother get** main of thc greatest Puritanical, sycophantic, howling scoundrel unhung— Parson Brownlow. Vet with such a character, this paper cannot cloak the fact that General Robt. K Lee has given Hooker Millory, etc., one of the hest and soundest whippings on record, and that the glorious Union is exceedingly weak in the knees.'' As Viekaburg was captured on tho 4th of July, bofore this issue of the paper was completed, a printer from Grant's army added the following: "Notk.- Two days bring about great changes. The banner oi the Union floats over Vicksburg, 'General Grant has caught the rabbit,' and has dined in Viekaburg, nud did bring his dinner with him. Thc Citizen lives to sec it; for thc last time it appeal's on 'wall paper.' No moro will it eulogize the luxury of mule meat and frigasscd kitten—urge Southern warriors to such diet never more.

In Germany women do most of tho menial out-of-door work. Switzerland is the only country iu continental Europe where peasant women aro not obliged to do all the hard work. A woman was seen recently in Naples carrying a collin ou her head, chatting gaily witli a man who walked empty- handed at her sido. Not uufrequeiitly a woman aud a cmv aro seen together pulling a coal cart through tlie streets of a North German city, a man touching them up—gentlyj to be sure—with a whip, as he walks beside them. Tn Denmark it is not unusual to see a woman high up iu a cherry tree picking thu fruil, while a man lies at tho foot waiting to placo tho ladder when sho shnll bo ready to come down with her burdon. In Upper Austria n correspondent saw a slight and very pretty young girl carrying the mortar up to the second storey of a building, while a man waited to put it in place when she arrived. Another correspondent reports having seen a woman in Holland drawing a canal boat, bent nearly doublo with the leathern harness as she trudged along tho towpath, a man sitting at hia ease in the boat amok- A Lively Package. Olio day recently an express messenger on the Omaha road took a small box un board somewhere up in Chippewa County, consigned to a Pennsylvania town. It was billed as "snakes" aud marked thu samo way, but the messenger did not heed tho fact. Along down tho road a ways the messenger, happening to look up the aisle between his freight, saw three snakes softly sliding toward him, at intervals spearing tho air with Iheir forked tongues. Ho climbed something and got whero he could seo the box above mentioned, The cover was loosened, and it jest seemed to bo the crater of n volcano of crawling things. The messenger pulled his safe out, looked tho car, and did not enter it'again until the train reached Chicago. There chloroform in large quantities was introduced, and about three dozen spotted adders were gathered among tlio freight. Ayoub Khan, oue of the aspirants to tho Afghau throne, is constantly guarded by policemen to prevent his oscapo from Persia, but the precaution soems to bo needless, for ho is drunk all the time. His puffed tip face, says a correspondent, his dull, glassy eyes and his heavy, sensuous lips show the demoralizing lifo ho leads. His followers see with dismay that he is fast becoming a wreck.
