The Maine Liquor Law.

Tho Mayor of Portland, Me-, in his re-
port 10 the Common Council of that city, gives the
most gratifying accounts of the effects of the Liquor
Law on the morality, prosperity and order OF the
city. 10 quiet, peaceable and orderly are the
streets that watchmen have been altogether dis
pensed with, although several were indispensable
before the passing of the law
Public houses gTog shops have utterly disap-
peared, and liquor only sold in very small quaint
ties and with tie greatest secrecy BY few foreign
ers No more than one quarter the amount formerly
used is now consumed in the State. The number Of
persons requiring relief from the Aims House, beth
intern and extern. is seriously reduced, and the
House OF Correction is satsrsiy empty.
The Mayor says:

becoming more frml, fixed In the favorable regards

A Hard Winner.

We are in the midst of cold stormy,
snowy, dreary winter. 1t set in early, and
threatens to hold on tenaciously. Many
Railroads are now obstructed by heavy falls
ard drifts of snow, and there is probably
larger area OF our country covered with
snow at this date than there has been for
several years before.
1t is hard time for the impotent and
needy. Their wants of fuel, shelter and
clothing are increased, just when the de-
mand for their services has shrunk TO the
smallest dimensions. Just when, in order
to live comfortably, they need to work every
day and be well paid, they find little to do
and that at the lowest rates. Hence their
suflerines are intense and almost universal.
We believe there are not less than One
Hundred Thousand human beings within
sight Of Trinity steeple who would gladly
find work at tolerable rates, vet for want of
it are either actually suffering for the neces-
saries of life or in daily, fearful apprehen-
sion THAT they Will sulier.
Such season is the Carnival of Beg
gary. Apart from the thousands in our
public charitable establishments, and the
ten thousands helped from time to time by
our City's official distributors of food and
fuel to the outdoor poor We have dozens
of philanthropic associations engaged in
ministering TO the needs of the destitute
and suffering. Tens of thousands are
saved from starvation by their noissless
and timely mmistrationS.
But all these do not begin to suffice.
Our city, and every city, swarms with
beggsrs. Men, women and children-the
juvenile, the middle-aged, the decrepit-
native and foreign-born, widows and maid
ems, orphans and runaway children, roam
from house to house, dom store TO Office,
in quest of food, clothing and money.
No man knows, no one adequately guess
es, the amount of which Beggsry annually
divests the solvent classes. There are men
reputed hard and clese and who choose to be
so reputed, who give away hundreds of dol
lars per aDnam; there are others not known
to be liberal, and who would regret TO be so
esteemed, who give thousands. Ii the ag-
gregate of years aims giving, in our City
alone, were fairly presented, the amount
would astonish BY its magnitude.
but all this does not tend to the relief
of restitution; alas that it does not INA

The Next Worlds Fair

We are to have a Worlds Fair in New
York the coming summer; for, as the pro-
ectors have secured proper site and ask
no public nor private pecuniary aid, we do
not understand that any contingency re-
mains. Indeed, we cannot doubt, in view
of the perfect success of the London Ex-
hibition, that good Exposition of All
Nations Industry in New-York will prove
a profitable speculation, and coin money for
those who take the responsibility of calling
il into being.
But shall we hare good one I've do
not mean, one that our people will flock 10

Gov. CHURCH presided, and the meeting was opened
with prayer by Rev MIR. Brown, Grand Chaplain.
Rev. MoReAN J. RHEEs, p. G. w. p, was then
introduced to the audience, and delivered one OF
the most brilliant arguments that has ever been
spoken on this subject. His hearers were spell
bound for nearly an hour and half and each one
present felt that the arguments advanced were UNI
answersble. Rev. Mr.. BEEcHER, OF Wiliamsburgh,
followed in short bat pertinent speech, and after
few remarks from Col. SNOW, the meeting was dis
missed with q benedietion by Rev. Lsbbeus Arm

Englishmen look with anxiety to the election Of

line, will have the most important influence on the

We are sorry to inform The Leader that
the chance Of its favorite candidate grows
small by degrees and beautifully less. With
all his energy and fairness of vision, the
prospect is that he viii be done out of the

without him.
