The Liquor CUES ton.

On tits subject, our Legislature
has had no definite final action, and
we have no doubt it would be safe tC
add, that there will be none during
this session. The license law will
probably remain as it now is. The
topic is a dangerous one, and legisla.
tors are not going to trouble the
matter any further than is absolutely
necessary to make an acceptable
tale TO their constituents. AS rele-
want to the subject,it majnotbe unin-
teresting to our readers for us to give
a brief history Of the origin of tile
Maine Liquor Law: 1t is stated that
the Lower House of the Maine Leg
islature passed it, with the confident
expectation that it would be defeated
in the Senate AS the members Of
the Senate did not like the idea Of
assuming the responsibility of de-
feating the bill, they passe it for
the Governor to veto. Wheh it was
brought to Governor HuJb4rd, he
expressed his Indignation at their
folly in passing such bill, d nd say
ing, "If they want the bill, lot them
have it, he put his official signature
TO it, and it became the famed Maine
Liquor Law.

State Of The Turkish Army.

A melancholy account of the state
of the Turkish Army is gwen by a
medical mar in the Turkish camp.
lie states that 1900 Turkish sol
dIers had already died, and that
over 5000 were sick and missing;
and then adds.
''ln addition to cholera, intermIt-
tent fever, and dyseutery, the Turk
lsh camp is visited by new plaques
in the shape oltyphus, ugly wounds,
hunger, and cold. The writer Of
the letter saw the troops, bali Of
which were badly dressed, badly
disciplined. and badly fed, Asiatic,
Egyptians, march TO the Danube,
almost without medical attendants.
The Turks, strong in faith, reckon
ed on the clear skies, the mildness
Of temperature, the promise of con-
sisnments Of provision aud uniforms
from Varnp, and Of physicians with
medicine, surgical nstrum ents, and
bandages from ConstantinopIe.-
Omar Pasha did everything that a
general could possibly do, but his
eXfrtiens TO secure footing in
w hllachia aud Moidavia were in
vaip. Rain, SNOW, wind and storm
conspired against him, and loamy
roads were soon in such sad state
that the transport of the necessaries
of life for large bodies OF troops was
found To be impossible, and the
Turkish army had no choice but
to letrace It's steps. The dearth
Of provisions begins to be very "a
farming, and The clothing Of tho
men is miserable in the extreme
The skins ofthe new killed, half
starved sheep are Immediately cut
up to make coverings for the naked
feet of the soldiers"

The Peniled tar Y.

Quite "hullabulIoo'' is being
kicked up, because Of the submit
ting of "a new board Of Inspectors
for the Penitentiary, TO the Senate
To our mind, the Governor and Sen
ate have done just what they had d
right to do and no more. The
Senate certainly has right to re-
consider any question, short Of an
election, within a prescribed limit
This was done After such recon-
sideration, or after such action as
may be equivalent to it, we think, if
nominations be the basis of the pro-
ceedings, that the Governor has the
right to withdraw them and submit
others. The simpl fact, that a pre-
cisely similar case has not before
been brought to notice, certainly
does not initiate "a ainst the justice
of the proceeding. And so, it oc-
ours to US, the unprejudiced reader
will decide.

Sensible Talk.

The louisville Democrat talks as
follows to the merchants Of that city,
Oh the Threshold Of the new year.
We commend what he says to the
merchants of Fayetteville:
If ybu wish to sell more goods this
year than you ever did before, ad-
vertise more. The unparalleled sue
cess Of those merchants and traders
who have kept their names and goods
before the people, is lesson not to
be disregarded by any one who d.
ponds upon public patronage for a
living. The best customers are those
who find out what they want before
they leave home, aud these are the
ones vi o invariably look in the news
paper, TO see whore the article is
to be found. The newspaper is
the established medium of exchange
between mind and mind in regard to
nearly all the measures Of life, and
its usefulness is extending among all
classes with astonishing rapility. ~
Everybody reads the newspaper, from
the millionaire over lis coffee, to the
African who has just polished his
honor's s. boots-and no part of the
paper gives so fresh, varied, and com
prehensive pictures of the town and
the age, as the advertisements.
