TIE MAYOR AND TIE ANrELrcENSE LAM
Mayor Mayo, on yesterday morning, took occa-
sion to express his position to the Reporters ut
Court. OIL the recent act of Assembly, prohibit
:ne the issue Of ordinary licenses. Hs sail that
lie WAS in favor of placing certain i~estric'
,.oag upon tla issu" OF licenses. The law III its

Justly. The flirrr and NOR practica5la method

have been residents at the place At which they
; are issued, for twelve months prior TO The par
sage of the AZ. Of accession by the State. AS the
law formerly existed, women Of i'll fame were
able to carry on The t-afi:, having men, who did
not reside in :he i.oUse, to procure licenses aStta

sent law, q man living FIVE miles out OF town
was enabled to sell rs much liquor as lie chose,

The Msyor's idea is. no doubt, Il better ona,

4 EoICg FROM TIE SAND SHOALS or A TEA
CUr.-Thc reculiarities Of drown Muscova-
do" supplied, in former times, the ground
work of a lively scandal on the grocers. Ne
body ever belio7ct. however, that the grooera
really "sanded their sugar." and the scandal
was rather more a matter Of fun than fact.
It Tas not possible to assent to tho hypothesis
that mercantile cupidity could reach 30 dos
pefate g c-isis and even fancy was scarcely
able t. create the picture of Il human being,
with Il sJui, aid rUme IDEA of ultimate Pc
nance for past and present sins, creeping up
10 o sugar hogslesd, in the night time, empty
ing o tub full of wet sand into it, and stirring
it up with o stick, then sneakirg back to a
guilty sleep" upon 0 denny couch, to roll in
golden visions for the remainder Of the night,
But that "impas-ible idea" is brought around
to a very palpab!e solution in thesc times and
this town. Every tea cup is a dire c-holder,'
and erory infant who can get at a lump 81
sugar is now tho happy preseason of at least 6
spoonful of real estate. The impracticabiliry
of the past system of social felicity appears
to bs developing itself the longer the war
lasts and the harder the times get. The re-
suit must be, reorganization and then Utopia
Land will be about equally divided among
everybody. This happy state Of affairs ID very
gratifying in the prospect, hut tho operation
Of attaining it il unfortunately rather slow
The present generation, il is evident, unless a
change takes place, can only come in for &
few acres of sand bank; puhtcrity will get
all Of the good soil. We sculd suggest t.
merchants who sand their sugar to gather theil
material from the moro fertile rcg!oni Uf tAt
surrounding country.

SIZE OF ST. PETER CHURCH. President
Fairfield, in endeavoring to give an idea of
the size of st. Peters Church at Rome. re-
EIs particularly to the dome, which is of
massive stone work, and supported by four
large columns and arches connecting them.
Each OF these four pillars. he says, occupies
q, much space on the floor of the church as
al edifice eighty feet long and Fl .ly feet
wde; which is larger, probably, than any
church building in New England outside Of
the principal cities. The dome, if provided
with seats as economically as Spurgt on's
chapel IN London, would hold six thousand
persons; and if lifted from the ton OF ST
Peters and let down over Henry Ward
Be.cher's church. in Brooklyn, would cover
1t completely, without touching it in any
part. And yet it does not appear too large
Tor an ed'fice on which it stands. and the
immense columns which support it are but
