Hon. NEAL Dow of Portland, author of the
Maine Liquor Law, is now speaking for the
State Alliance in Massachusetts,, on Temper
ance. The public should know that Gen. Dow
makes no charge for his service, and that this
has always been his course. He spent a whole
year in England in hard labor for the cause
without receiving a penny by way of compen-
sation. We understand that Gen. Dow is a
gentleman of wealth, so that he is able to
crafty his love for the cause in this way.
Such devotion to principle deserves public
recognition by all journals that have the good
of society at heart. Mr.. Dow is an able aud
effective speaker. He is perfectly at home in
handling the subject of prohibitory legislation

If We are to credit the statements of 4
new weekly journal in London, called Latest
Ncus, England is really in q bad way. The
opening article in the first number contains
the extraordinary greeting, part Of which is
as follows:

writing. Walk the streets of London by
day OF night and the oaths and obscenity
will sicken you; while the doubtful double

journal now, no work of fiction, no drama
pays, unless it contains illusions to sinful
passion, unless it portrays the pleasures Of
sense. Our popular novels especially, to
their endless shame be it said, those written
by women, are full of the details of Illicit
passion, and eagerly dcvoured by hosts Of
unsuspecting girls The drama has for some
time been . vehicle for the exhibition of the
ankles of certain young ladies who keep
broughams on eighteen shlllings week.

F0IxS.

CIencn AO0nt1ln, between 0len0 Falls,
New York, and Lake George, was the scene
of . genuine sensation during the sojourn of
Campbells Circus and Menagerie It that vii
lsgc last week. At late hour one night,
after the audience had been dismissed and
the canvas pulled down, the watchman left
in charge observed large animaldsr across
bis path and almost instantly vanish in the
darkness. suspecting st once that some
one or more of the wild beasts had escaped
from their bondage, he hsstened to where
the cages were corralled, and discovered that
the largest of the two elephants had drawn
the stake to which he had been fastened and
had upset the cage of the Bengal tiger,
breaking the doors and bending the barn in
such . manner as to allow the animal to e.
cape To run to the hotel, awaken the ele-
phant. driver, and summon oil hands, was
the work of moment. The elephant was
promptly fettered and . search for the tru.
ant tiger commenced. The scene was one
of indcscribable excitement. None but two

his royal highncss was satiating his gluttoI.

spirits Of the hunt approached, and, by the
aid OF their torches, discovered that the
tiger had stricken down yearling heifer,
and was crouching over the dying animal,
grecdily tapping the blood which spurted
from large wound in It's neck. A plan for
capture was soon devised, and Mr.. Clem

caused the tiger to look upward, giving Mr..

the animals head, which feat he dexteriously
accomplished. Drawing his rope tsut, he

he threw the end of the other rope to anoth-

stretched, each party walking in an opposite
direction. When the tiger would make

would haul taut on their line, and thus pre-.
