The Liquor Question.

For the Tdr.Payers.-There is q
lack Of reliable statistics in Vermont,
and a difficulty i'll getting reliable
facts. Estimates only can be made
approximations to truth, only, can be
deduccd. Last fall we ascertained
the cost Of supporting the poor in
three towns--ons populous, and q
large share foreign and foating-the
other two were agricultural. The av-
eragc in each town was half a dollar
for each inhabitant. At this rate the
annual tax for the support Of the poor
in Vermont exceeds $3.50, 900. Add
the expenses Of crime, $50, ,000-and
we have an annual direct tax upon the
people of 100000 in two items alone.
Why is this when labor commands
high wages, and good laws abound for
the protection Of society ? Statisti-
clans elsewhere charge!by far the great
cr part to Intemperance. No doubt
they are right ; in fact, a scrutiny in
any town will show this. Now, if this
be SO, it is worth while for the tax
payers to inquire whether it will not
bo best to cut off the cause Of this e.
normous tax-to attack it, root and
branch in short, to stop the sale Of
liquor for the purpose Of drinking.
That is the great question for next
March Meeting. Let the taxpayers
remember that. We know the rum
sellers and rum-drinkers won't forget
it. Indeed they arc wide awake
they have got a candidate for Com
missioner and they mean to have
rum, aud consequent poverty and
crime, and this enormous TAX on THE
PROPERTY OF HONEST, LAw.oBsERvING
AND TEMPERATE MEN. Is it not a.
bomiable, that tax of $4,000 year
should be forced upon the people Of
this country, for the solo benefit Of
one or two dozen men, who wish to
sell rum contrary to law? Or take
three fourths Of the towns, in which
we suppose no liquor is used, except
what comes from the other one fourth :
they derive not the least benefit from
the sale Of the liquor-nobody derives
any, except the few persons engaged
in the traffic: get these to,rns hare to
bear their full proportion Of tile Tdr
Frsemen, think Of it.-M0npelier

the head of the army, in the defence Of
her son and husband She had seen
that son and husband treat her with

A Natural Mistake.

Hereis an old story done ovor"
by the Louisville Courier. 1t has re-.
ceived additional space in the rejuven-
ating process.
During recent visit to the interior,
we heard ofaR accident not yet cold
on the breath of local circulation it
may as-wcH receive newspaper life and
immortality now as at any time. A
city-country gentleman, who hspths af-
ter the most approved fashion, wanted
a few pigs, for the purpose of supply
ing his family with roasters in the fall
and bacon in the winter. He had a
new man-of-all-work, who was not very
familiar with his popularity of speech,
and had not exactly taken the trouble
to acquaint himself with the line Of
business i'll which his master was en-.
gagged.
"John," said the city.country gen.
tleman, one day after breakfast, /" 60
out this morning and buy me two or
three thows and pigs"
Yes, sir" replied John. sit shall
be done"
john did not return till late in the
day, when he vas met by his master
and accosted thus:
Did you get 'em p
"No, sir, not all. The drovers have
been about buying largo numbers, and
could only get eight hundred" )"
" Eight hundred what, thir?" de-
manded the master, impatiently.
" Eight hundred pigs, as You told
me-" replied John.
" l told you no such thing. l told
you thir, to 60 and buy me two or three
thows and pigs"
6 know it, but couldn't get two
or three thousand. I've been ou, all
day and secured the whole country land
could get but eight hundred"
Light now for the first time after the
order had been given, flashed upon the
gentleman's mind. He comprehendcd
the cause Of the misunderstanding, and
although not exactly in the mood fol
laughiug,vcry good naturedly pocketcd
the costly joke, and asked:
L" How many did you get, john"
"Eight hundred, sir, and that was
oil l could get"
And did you buy them outright,
John. or only talk of taking them p
"Bought them for good" replied
John, " and bad hard work to keep
them out of the hands Of the drovers
and the owners will be here for their
pay in the morning"
The best of the joke so far as the
| gentleman is concerned, is to follow
This happened last season. The hogs
were received, kept and fed for short
time, and then sold for the block at q
handsome price.

DRESS IN EURoPE.-The costume
of Europe never suggests the idea OF
leisure or repose. 1t seems contrived
on purpose to allow persons who are
in hurry to hustle about in crowd
without inconvenience. A party Of
bearded and turbaned Turks, smoking
in coffee house, in perfect silence, is
sight which impresses a European
with an easy sense Of inferiority. In
battle. says an old proverb, the eye
is first overcome. So it is in all things.
We are ever the dupes Of sight. Such
majestic persons, it seems to US, if
they would condescend 10 speak at all,
must utter sayings as wise and as rich
as the proverbs Of Solomon though in

There are few to whom the fame anC

RATHER ALARMING.-The Spiritus

RATHER ALARMING.-The Spiritual
Telegraph has an article beaded
"Locks Picked by Spirits" To which
a Boston paper responds that "there
is too much of this business car
ried on by sinners in the flesh without
having any additional help from the
spirit world +; but we would rather see
a spirit pick lock than to read about
it. By the way, since the spirits are
said to possess great amount of phys
ical power, why don't they do some
thing useful Tipping on a table or
knocking on wall don't do anybody
good. Let them manage the brakes
of an engine when house is on fire,
or stop an omnibus when it runs away
with load of passengers, or drag the
boys out of the water when they fall
through the ice when skating, and thus
save them from drowning, and they
will then make themselves useful and
greatly increase the number of their
believers. We have had enough Of
tippings and rappings-now let's have
something from the spirits that will be
of practical benefit to their brethren
in tho flesh"

How A MAN FEELS ON A SINKING
BRIDGR.-The Cincinnati CONNER
cial gives the following statement III
relation to the feelings of person in
extreme danger at the time Of the fal-
ling Of the Licking Bridge:
Taylor Keys, who was on the
bridge at the time Of the accident, and
who was slightly injured, describes his
fear in the most graphic style. Du-
ring his descent, he says that every
action of his life was recalled to his
mind. The most trivial circumstances
were remembered. The past was
spread out like a map before him, upon
which he could trace every footstep hs
had ever taken-and the future, he
confessed he had not much time to
think of that, but, like true Ameri-
can. he slapped his hand on his pock-
ct book, which was in his breeches
pocket, and held on for dear life, and
once or twice during the frightful de-
scent, wondered what the old woman
would do for market money"

FACTS IN HUMAN LIFE. The number
oflanguages spoken in the world amounts
to s064-5s7 in Europe, 500 in Asia,
276 in Africa, and 1864 in America.
The inhabitants of the globe profess
more than 1000 different religions. The
number of men is about equal to the
number of women. The average of hui
man life is about 2S years One-quarter
die previous to tho age of seven years
one-half before reaching II; and those
who pass this age enjoy felicity refus-
ed to one-half the human species. To
every 1000 persons only one reaches 100
years of life; to every 100 only e reach
the age of Go and not more than one in
500 lives to eighty years of age. There
are on earth l,000,000000, inhabitants !;
and of these $50, ,333, 1873 die every year;
81 1884 every day $3.50 every hour and
GO every minute, or | evcry second.
These losses are about balanced by an
equal number of births. The married
are longer lived than the single, and a.
bove all those who observe a sober and
industrious conduct. Tall men live
longer than short ones. Women have
more chances of life in their favor, pre-
vious to being fifty years of age, than
men have, but fewer afterwards. The
number of marriages is in proportion Of
rs to every 100 individuals. Marriages
are more frequent after the equinoxes /;
that is during the months of June and
December. Those born in the spring
are generally more robust than others.
Births and deaths are more frequent by
night than by day. The number of men
capable of bearing arms is calculated at
one fourth of the population.-English
Quarterly.
