We advise the advocates of Total Abstinence

son of exceptional drinking, the scientific truth
that Alcohol is a Poison should be brought
home to every rational mind. Drunkenness is
increasing; thousands will learn to love and
crave Liquor during this present Holiday sea-
son. The friends of Temperance should re-
double their efforts in opposition TO this popular
madness, which causes more human misery
than famine, pestilence and war altogether.

The Midland Railroad has completed and
tested its bridge over Lyon Brook. east OF
Norwich; so that the road is virtually finished
from Oswego to Sidney Plains, where 1t
crosses the SusquehannG River and Railroad.
Thence to Middlet0wn, on the Erie Road, 1t
crosses the rugged hills and deep valleys Of
Delaware and Sullivan Counties which render
heavy cutting and some tunneling necessary +;
but its officers expect to have cars running
from Lake Ontario to the Hudson at Jersey
City before the end of 1870. They have been
enabled to push the work thus vigorously by
liberal subscriptions to their first and only
mortgage bonds, and we hope will thus be
enabled to commence running through trains
entirely free from floating debt.

Thus soon after the joyous Christmas tide
are woful wailings in Lillput Land, for the
lately happy innocents have fallen upon one of
the first bitter griefs of life in learning that
toys are only made to sell. The wonderful
dolls and dogs, horses and houses, donkeys and
drums, castles and cats, bugles and bogies, and
the thousand and one limitations, fair or foul.
of things possible and improbable, lie scattered
about our houses hacked wrecks and prodigal
proofs, to the grandmamma who surveys the
sad scene, of the degeneracy OF the craftsman or
the period. Perhaps this parsonage is no
better or worse than his ancestor but If he
could only see the pitiful plight OF all the dear
denizens of Lilhput just now, he might screw
his self-denial to the point of sticking his
wares together in more enduring fashion, and.
taking more pains, be contented with less,protit.
Let us beg of him to do his utmost to postpone
to the uttermost limit the awful moment when
the darlings must discover that the world is
hollow and their dolls only stuffed with saw
dust.

The official war report Of the Cubans, trans
mitted by Secretary Agramonte to Minister
Lemus, is sufficiently eventful and sanguinary
to prove the existence of fighting, if not of
belligerence 1t charges that the shooting of
81 prisoners by the Cubans at Las Tunas was
not done until the Spaniards had massacred
Cubans in the plaza of the town, and the
children Of some of the rebel generals died of
starvation in the prisons where Spanish bar
barity had confined their furnishing mothers.
Not only Gen. Quesada, but Gems. Diaz, Mar
cano, and FigueredO have been pointed
out, one of them at least by direct order
of the Havana authorities, as marks
for the assassin's weapon. Spaniards have an
nOunced their murders as exploits, and their
massacres as victories. Women, whose names
are recorded, have been subjected to their
brutal rage; peaceable citizens have been
wantonly shot down by them We wish that
the unvarying story of the Antilles were not
a recriminatoD of falsehoOd, of murder, and
of crimes not to be named; yet after Gen.

NJ. Olvier's ministry, according to the gen
eral current of French news. is forcgone con-
cusion Often summoned to the imperial
councils yet never called to the Cabinet; some
times named for a seat in the ministry, yet
always in the situation of an expectant; it is
nevertheless probable, that rs NJ. Olivier has
the ambition. he has now the opportunity to
become Premier of France Hardly fifty years
of age, ~ Olivier is supposed to repre-
sent whatever is liberal and vigorous
in that French conservatism which
clines to the Empire rather than .rust
TO revolution. AS an advocate he has won
reputation in legal contests with such men as
Berger. As a legislator he las been known
since 1858, having based bis fame on the
fact that he was one Of that group of
five deputies who ut one time we're
the sole hope Of democracy in France. Since
1863, n marked GOODNESS has interviewed between
himself and his old political associates, and
now we find him q champion of the
expediency of supporting liberal en-

Mr. John Riel, one of the inspirers of the
republican movement in Ruperts Land, must
have greater wit and wisdom than his Canadian
decrers know; for he lately advised one OF
his visitors as follows "When you reach
Canada tell them our great thought Is to
"resist being made Irishmen Of" This sentl-
ment was delivered by one whom our North

what Irshmen have suffered, and OF what
Indian Americans do not want TO suffer, 1t Is
patriotic, not to say statesmanhke.

Our friend The World is in trouble again
and is sending around petition for relief, ac-
companied by a certificate of its moral worth
and physical restitution. The case is hard
one, as anybody can see from the document OF
which we subjoin an extract:
DECEMBER g. 1869.

with The He York World furnish the Weekly edition
of that paper the ensuing year. in this County at Ono

To this appeal which might have moved Old
Scrooge himself, we regret to say that Harvey
Markham, esq, who is the editor of Demo-
cratic newspaper at Port Jefferson, in this
State returns contumeliOus answer. He tiatly
refuses to give a penny, or even a hVe-llne
puff, to a paper which tries TO SOW discord
"and discOuragement in the ranks OF the
"party just on the eve of an election, for no
"other apparent reason than that Democratic
"victory might not add to the profits OF Au-
gust Belmont and his fellow spectators in
"the flesh and blood of the tOiling millions OF
"the American people !" he intimates that ne
knows of much better papers than The Weekly
World; and he clinches his refusal
with the CALLING insinuation that the
recommendation of Messrs Duryee & Co. was
paid for mt so much a namel This is unfecl-
ing Even Dives allowed Lazarus to pick up
the crumbs which fell from his table; and
surely the Port jefferson Independent Press
might spare few shillngs for an unfortunate
Democratic journalist in NewYork, where liv-
ing is very expensive, and subscribers lowing
to the fact that the city Democrats as rule
don't know how to ready are very few, and
THE TRIBUNE is a daily thorn in the flesh OF
the wrong doer. and a model Of how to make
a newspaper. If The World, as Mr.. Markham
intimates, is not a good newspaper, that, he
should remember, is the very reason why 1t
needs little assistance. 1t is the manned,
the paralytc, and the imbecile who have the
strongest claims upon our charity; and If our
neighbor will send certificate of his infrmi-
ties over this way, we will sign 1t with
pleasure, and give him the price of nights
lodging.

The CRESCENT CIrr SLAUGHTER HOUSE Con-.
PANY.-We direct particular attention to an adver.
tisement of this company which appears else
where, in which they notify contractors that they
are ready to receive proposals for building stock
pens, slaughter houses, etc. The company, greatly
owing to the exertions Of Mr.. Pratt, their presi-
dent, are now in Q condition to take advantage of
the terms Of their charter, and are anxious to
commence the construction OF the necessary
buildings sc soon as possible. In this connection
we would state that we understand that much Of
the opposition to the company, which came from
the vendors OF meat, has been relinquished. as
those persons have discovered that there is
nothing to prevent them from continuing their
business, as the company Ia slaughter house
company, and not meat vending company. The
proposals win be received at No. ITO Common
street, until Monday evening next, the 9th inst,
at O'Clock.
