A Sensible Judge.

x "A Judge in Old Virginia, whose con-
science had been somewhat enlight.
ened upon the subject of the license
system, had occasion to decide upon
several applications for the glorious
privilege Of making drunkards. He
remarked as follows:
( 'The court have before them a
number Of applications to retail IL
uuors. The law in this case is imper-
alive. The court shall grant licences
for the retail Of intoxicating liquors in
proper places within the county. The
court has no discretion as to the IL
cense, when case is properly pre-
sented; but as to the proper places,
that is left to the sound discretion of
the court to determine The court
is clearly Of the opinion, that there is
no such place in this county, and
will therefore be relieved from the ne
cessity of putting into any hand, legal
authority to do mischief" r
This was an intelligent opinion, and
the Judgeis to be commended, not on
ly for his judgment, but for his princi-
pie.

Temperance and Politics.

The truth is, for many years, those
devoted to the liquor interest, have
steadily and perseveringly opposed the
election Of men to Office, who were
unfavorable to their designs, and We
are compelled by the law of self-de-
fense, to meet them on their own bat
tie field. The great motive which
should induce us to 60 to the ballot
boxes with our principles is, that the
interests of our common country de-
mand it but the practice of the ad-
versary ought to protect us from the
imputation that we seek to build up a
temperance political party, when we
only meet him face to face, with the
weapons he has selected. 4.

A Temperance House.

A certain tavern keeper III Michi-
gan, who had for many years been
dealing out the damning poison to his
fellow men, had gradually, as is COM
mon in such cases, acquired fond
ness for the +" critter; but very sell
dom drank to intoxication. A few
months, since, in company with some
boon companions, he went out on
fishing excursion, and returned welI
corned. The amiable and lovely
wife helped her inebriated husband
to bed, and then, with her own hands,
rolled out the barrels Of liquor just
fresh from Detroit" and emptied
them in the yard, and then proceeded
to serve the jugs and decanters in Ike
manner. Early the next morning,
while herlord was yet in bed, with
an anxious look and tender words, she
proposed to keep temperance house,
or leave the tavern. Ashamed Of his
previous debauch, he consented, but
with the condition that the stock on
hand should first be disposed Of, and
SO the matter was agreed upon. On
going down to the bar to get a lille to
steady his nerves, he found that the
liquor was disposed Of, and the tenn
peranee house commenced, according
to stipuIations. Bowing to the decree
of his better halt, he entered no COM
plant, but proceeded to a neighbor
and asked him to offer his proposition
to the Temple Of Honor. He was ini
tiated, and from that good hour, he
has been a firm friend of total absti-
nence, an advocate of the Maine Law
and a keeper Of an excellent temper
ance house. He showed us the place
where the good lady poured out the Ii
quor. Not blade of grass, or any
living thing remains. The poison
killed every thing within its reach
while all around that spot vegetation
is luxuriant and beautiful. a-oa o.

An Incident.

At Leoni, in Michigan, on the goth

the polls and remained all day, sing

Of adopting the law which should
give them protection. But 23s could
be found mean enough to resist their
appeals. This was the proper place,

GEN. s. F. CARY:

GEN. S. F. CARY:
Dear Sir, and BrOther,-I wrote you
last evening somewhat hastily as to the
probable result Of the peoples verdict on
the Maine Law in our State. The results,
as shown by the enclosed extract, indicate
the sanction of the law by much larger
vote than 1 anticipated l think the ma
iority in favor Of the act will reach tl0enty- 1
fUe or thirty thousand! 1t is truly .astOnish-
ing to see how large tho returns come in
We expected to carry the State by large
vote, but not by storm, 1t seems that the
people determined to have the law sane
toned, and they have doneit They asked
for the law, through their Representatives
in the Legislature, and backed the request
by 100000 petitioners. supposed that
number of persons asking for the law would
be sufficient, Gas the aggregate vote of all
parties in the State at the last election was
about 9O,OOO.) 100000 men and women
in State polling $4,000 votes, asking for
such an act, we supposed would have been
enough to induce the Legislature to give us
the Law, without referring it back to them
again to see if they wanted it, or to see if
they were in earnest in the matter-but the
answer has come back to them, las they
are now scattered at their homes through
out the State,) in tones of thunder from
thirty to forty thousand voices "YEs, we
wanted what we asked, and ViH haze il.
The victory has been glorious ONE
more so, than the victory of Waterloo, or
of Austerlitz. There is no blood and car
mage about the battle-no instruments of
death uncased, but our weapons were
peaceful, and the ballots on which were
inscribed "YEs," were silent messengers,
or angels of mercy, going forth to save our
fair and beautiful State from the b'ighting
and whitening effects of alcohol, and when
the sides" of December, (not of March,
come, we hope to hurl the monster from his
throne into the pure and limpid waters Of
total abstinence, never again 10 rise.
1t is truly astonishing to see what effect
the large vote has upon the public mind
Those who have talked about the uncOnsti-
tutionality of the law, now seem willing to
admit that there is some doubt arising in
their minds, and, on the whole, they think,
perhaps the law willwOrk well, and are dis
posed to try it, The Free Press, having
done its job, or fulfilled its contract with
the liquor-sellers, now begins to think the
''ngjesty Of The lao" should be sustained and
calls upon all good citizens to do SO: if the
judiciary should decide it to be violation
Of our constitution, then it should be ig-
nored, and not till then. enclose to you

TnE ExpEorEb CoMEr or 1885,

THE ExpEcrED COMET OF 1885,
From an article published by an cmi-
nent astronomer, NJ. Babinct, member
ofrAcadamie DIES Sciences, the French
Journals give us some. interesting de
tails relative to a Comet, which in all
probability will appear somewhere
about the year 1856. This is one of
the largest comets described by Euro
pean or Chinese observers. Its peri
odica! course is about three hundred
years. 1t was seen in the years l04,
392, 6S3, 975, again in 1864, and the
last time in 1556---always described
as shining with an extraordinary bril-
liancy. Astronomers had agreed in
announcing its return in 1913 ; but it
has hitherto failed to appear. and ac-
corling to the quaint expression of NJ.
Babinet, up to this moment is living
on its brilliant reputation All the
Observatories were at first in despair
regarding the fate of this beautiful
star, and Sir John Hcrschel himself
had put Grape u, on his telescope, when
wise calculator of Middlebourg, M.
BONNIE, had the good fortune to rcas
sure the learned world that it was not
lost to us, as had been feared, but only
retarded in its motion. Anxious as
all others had been at the non-arrival
of this rare and renowned visitor, NJ.
Bonnie, aided by the preparatory la
bors of M. Hind, with a patience and
devotedness truly German, went over
the calculations, and made a new es-
innate of the separate and combined
action Of all the planets upon this COM
eli of three hundred years. The result
of this severe labor gives its arrival in
August, 1858, with an uncertainty of
two years, more or less--so that be-
tween 1856 and 1860 We may hope to
see that great luminary which in 1856
caused Charles 9th to abdicate. Al
ready detected by reverses. the result
of the siege of Metz-the defeat of
Renty-the humiliations of the treaty
of Passow--the combination of all
these calamities drew from that mon
arch the dcspairing cry, "fortunc alb
andons the old !" The appearance Of
the flaming meteor just at that time
seemed, to his superstitious sense, q
direct message from heaven. MOI
that he thought it was directed towards
him as a man so much as to his station
as a sovereign, and he abdicatcd thu
throne to save his life. 1t is wei
known how short time he survived
in his monastic retirement. Perhaps
he might have lived longer had his SUI
perstition taken that better turn b.
which, in retaining power. he had di
rected his ambition towards more
noble end. We know of no better us,
for comets than to point such moral
and even theologians seldom find
higher Interpretation Of the celestia
phenomena.
