THE MAINE LAW IN WASHINGTON.
The remark is often made in the Sec
ular press--and it is sometimes spoken
in the Legislature and elsewhere-that
the Maine Law can only be executed in
villages and the small towns, but must be
unobserved in cities, where larger masses
of men do congregate. Washington is a
standing answer to all such assertions
A city of 100000 inhabitants with an
army of 10000 men holding line of
forts around it aud not five miles distant
from it, and obtaining all their liquor
here, with tone OF society that permits
Of most promiscuous and common drink
ing, and With groggery at every corner ;
yet in Washington, under all these diff
culties, the Maine Law is executed every
Sabbath from midnight to midnight, and
a glass OF liquor cannot be had for love
or money. And when Washington votes
for her municipal authorities, the vote is
always taken on Monday; and then eve
ry throat in The city has to 60 dry for
eight and forty hours. 1t is no question
whether the Maine Law can be executed
or MOTT is executed. And it is done
BY no strong sway of soldiery, by the
passage Of no armed police through our
streets, but simply because the liquor
sellers know that their stock is forfeited
II they sell /, and they prefer to peddle
their vile stuff all the rest Of the week
and let Sunday and Monday 60.

ca Since the war commenced one
hundred Generals-Msjor and Brigader
belonging to the Union army have
been wounded, killed or died in the SER
vice. Of these, thirty seven have been
lost TO the service by death, and the bal
ance have been wounded. Pennsylvania
has been the greatest sufferer by death,
having lost seven, viz: Reno, Bohlen,
Reynolds and jackson, killed in battle
Patterson, who killed himself while Ia
boring under a temporary alteration of
mind and Smith and Keim, who died of
disease contracted in the service. New
Jersey has lost three Generals, all of
whom were killed in battle, viz: Kear-
ney, Bayard and Taylor. New York, in
proportion 10 the number of Generals in
the service, has lost fewest. New Eng
land loses Lyon, B cry and Lander

DREAM OF A QUAKER LADY.--There
is beautiful story told of a pious old
Quaker lady who was addicted TO smok-
ing tobacco. She had INDUCED in this
habit until it had increased so much up
on her that she not only smoked her pipe
a large portion of the day, but frequent
Iy sat up in her bed for this purpose in
the night. After one Of these nocturnal
entertainments she fell as le p. and
dreamed that she died, and approached
heaven. Meeting an angel, she asked
him if her name was written in the book
of life. He disappeared, but replied,
upon returning, that be could not find 1t.
"Oh," she said, "do look again it must
be there" He examined again, but re-
turned with a surrowful face, saying, ait
is not there p "Oh," said she, in agony,
sit must be there; | have the assurance
it is there Do look again" The an
&c. was moved to tears by her entrea-
ties, and again left her to renew his
search. After long absence he came
back, his face radient with JOY, and ex-
claimed. "We have found it, but it was
so clouded with tobacco smoke that we
could hardly see it y The woman, up
on waking, Immediately threw her pipe
away, ADD never INDUCED in smoking
again.

a WOMAN WITH A LAwsUIT.-Next
to "a woman with grievance" woman
with lawsuit is perpetual bore TO her
friends, and acquaintance or rather to
her acquaintance alone, for she never
has any friends. One Miss Frag, of
London is such person; some years
ago she brought an action against GER
tam nobleman in whose family she had
lived in some capacity; the ground of
the action being her unlawful dismissal
from bis service; the court decided that
she had no cause for action, and the
matter was settled by her attorney. She
then brought an action against her attor-
ney tor improperly settling the case
IN this action she failed. She tbereunon
commenced suit against her last law
yer for mismanaging that case; when
half through with this trial her counsel
threw up his brief, satisfied that the suit
was groundless; than came an applica-
ton for a new trial, which was decided
adversely by the present Chief Justice
Blackburn; for this decision she has had
the effrontery to bring an action against
the Justice himself. The Lord Chief
Justice of course decided against her.
She however appealed, and is still at
large.

co Would you wish TO live without
trial? Then you would wish to die but
half a man. Without trial, you can
not guess at your own strength. Men do
not learn to swim on table; they must
go into deep water and buffet the surges.
If you wish to understand their true
character,-if you would know their
whole strength, Of what they are capable,
throw them overheard Over with
them, ADD if they are worth saving they
win swim ashore themselves.

Bragg's Retreat.

In letter to the Philadelphia Press,
dated Nashville, July IS, Parson Brown
low gives the following graphic descrip-
ton of the defeat and pursuit of Bragg's
army -
"There never was such chase on
earth as our army had after Braggs re-
bel forces. They fed in every direction,
in wild confusion, and more terror strick-
en- than if the devil had been after them.
They left guns, side arms, blankets, hats.
caps, canteens, knapsacks, haversacks,
horses, wagons, saddles, cooking utensils,
and everything they possessed, strewn
along the road and in the woods. They
took to the bushes in wild confusion. and
panic-siricken; hundreds plunged into
Duck river and hundreds were drowned.
Fifty rebels have been picked out of one
hole in Duck river, near ShelbyviIe.
The tyrant and beast, Bragg, went in
advance of his demoralized army, to pre-
pare quarters and rations for them. The
retreat was conducted by the Right Rev.
erend Major General Bishop Leonidas
Polk, who, with his prayer book in one
hand, and bottle of liquor in the other,
and eyes lifted toward heaven, asked the
blessing of God upon his rations and that
of Davis upon his army But on they
went, and they are going yet. They
have crossed the Tennessee river, and de-
stroyed the great bridge at Bridgeport
1t they make any stand at all, my opin-
ion is it will not be this side of Atlanta.
There they will be reinforced by Joe
Johnston and the remnant of Lees army.
Thousands of Bragg's men have de-
serted--some taking to the mountains of
Middle Tennessee, and some coming into
our lines, giving themselves up and 60
ing into our ranks. Two of our regi--
ments recruited fifty of them in one day
last week, among whom is Lieut.. Runde,
son of the old East Tennessee Con-
gresham. have conversed with young
Runde, for lac was once an apprentice ia
the printing business in my office in
Knoxville. He tells me there are ten
thousand of Bragg's army disposed to
desert, and resolved not to leave Tennes-
see. On tie retreat they placed all the
Tennessee conscripts ia front, and drove
them before the Alabama, Georgia and
Mississippi troops. Runde was con-
script, caught in attempting to bring a
company into Kentucky some s months
ago.
The great question with US Is. when
VIII East Tennessee be redeemed? 1t
will astonish my friends in the loyal
states when | tell them, as do now. that
East Tennessee has twenty thousand men
IN the federal army, and twenty thousand
more ready to join them when they are
furnished with arms, and released from
he caves in the mountains and the iails
IN the south. Neither Massachusetts nor
Vermont is more loyal to this govern
ment than is East Tennessee-glorious

the probability is that he will clutch the
swimmer, and perhaps, as often is the
case, both will be drowned.
