A Lewiston (Maine) correspondent
writes Every few are aware how many
habitual consumers Of opium, in some Of
its forms, there would be found, upon
careful examination, in cur State. 1t is
estimated by one Of our apothecsries that
at least fifty habitual opium eaters pur~
chase their supplies of the druggists in
this city and in Auburn. They do not
all live at this point, but naturally come
here to trade. But for its great cost, it
is probable that it would be much more
extensively used than now. As it is,
not few country grOcerS find it necess
sary to keep constant supply for regu>
lar customers. OF those at present adj
dicted to the opium habit in our State
without doubt the larger part form the
habit by first using opium as a medical
prescription against pain"
There is more opium eating in New
Jersey than many people have any idea
of, and within our borders some melan-
choly household tragedies, the result o.
this insidious and horrible pract ce, have
been enacted. Beginning the use of the
drug innocently and as medicine, hosts
are led on to its consumption for the
mere sake of expected pleasure, and the
end is ruin, agony and despair-NeVdrh

arrested hero upon q complaint and war
rant charging her with an attempt to
poison her husband, GeOrgs T. Farrar,
who has been confined to his room for
several months. The circumstances were
as follows: Mrs. Farrar sent up dish OF
milk to her husband, as a part Of his sup
per, By the nurse. The nurse cautioned
him not to touch it, as she had seen his
wife put something into it. He, how
ever, tasted it, and exclaimed, chat is
the same old taste" he having, as it app
pears, been nigh poisoned to death some
few weeks ago. The dish of milk was
sent down to Z P. Jewell, who lives in
another part of the house. lie gave
some to cat and the cat at once went
into spssms. To make the matter more
certain Jewell gave some of the milk to
another cat, which suffered intensely
nearly two hours and was then killed
out OF pity. A letter was found in the
house after the arrest Of Mrs. Farrar i'm
plicating Miss Anna MouIton, living in
Lowell, Massachusetts. Miss Moulton

sPANIARDS AND THEIR DESCEND
ANTS INNEW YORK.

The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger writes:
1t is estimated that there are at least
a hundred thousand persons of Spanish
birth residing and doing business in this
city. They are largely represented in
the mercantile interests; they have
churches, newspaper organs and places
Of public amusement. As class, there
fore, they WELD an important influence,
social, commercial and political, and when
they come together to give expression to
their views on public questions they are
always heard with attention. Thus far
they have taken but little note Of the
revolution in the mother country, but the
news from Oadiz within the day or two
past has deeply moved their sympathes
on behalf of the struggling republicans
against the monarchisl party that is seek
ing to crush them. 1t is proposed to get
up great meeting of Spanish Ameri-
cans at the Academy of Music next
week, for the purpose of sending words
Of encouragement to the friends of popu-
lar government in Spain, beseeching them
to stand fxm, to declare for republic
etc. tf ..E |Frtt
Public meetings in New York, in such
cases, are usually held on the eve Of cleo
lions, for the purpose Of influencing for
eign vote in favor Of some particular can
didate; but as no such motive can Obtain
in this instance, its disinterestedness, al
least, will secure for it public respect
The resolution to be offered on the Occa
sion will request our government to in

Madrid to throw the weight of his infu
ence on the side Of the republicans in thu
event of the Cadiz uprising becoming
general. For obvious reasons nothing
will be said about Cuba, or the troubles

SPANISH PEAsANTRY.

Their Present DepI0rabIe Condition.
Bull Run Russell writes that the con-
dition of the Spanish peasantry is truly
heart-rending. The governments help
is tardy and ineficacious, and as winter
closes in the distress cannot fail to reach
terrible climax In the towns thou
sands of laborers out of employment are
provided with what is called work
No less than sixteen thousand men are
now doing in Madrid what might be ex>
pected from one fourth of their number.
Paid at the rate Of seven reals Zone shil,
ling, five and half PENCE day, under
little or no inspection, unproVided with
proper implements, these poor wretches
are mere beggars under the flimsy dis
guise Of laborers. They work as little ss
they can manage, and they even "strike"
TO be free from that little. They insist
upon being paid on rainy days when no
work is practicable, on the good ground
that bad weather does not interfere
with their good appetite. They will hear
of no different rates of remuneration (;
they contend that the wages should be
the same for good or bad workmen, and
admit no difference in behalf Of assidu-
Gus industry, or skilled labor What is
done in Madrid becomes the rule for other
large centers Of population. 1t is
impossible to reason with a starving peo<
pie, impossible to leave it to perish SO
long as the community can minister to its
wants. Should the government come off
successful from the struggle its claims
upon the gratitude Of the country will
be unbounded The London Spectator
wishes to record distinct impression that
Gen. Prim is playing either for a dicta-
torship OF an imperial crown. He is ac-
cumulating troops in Madrid, he is care
fully wedding the army, he is making
himself popular by every variety of mill
tary concession and military sternness
and he does not fix date for the meeting
Of the COrtez.
