Does He Drink This is an important
question, and one that should be frequent
ly asked. If you are going to employ a
man in business, it is always to your inter
est that he should be sober. 1t is true that
| you may find men, who take a dram occa-
sionally, and are good business men, but
the habit is apt to grow, and its evil effects
| to become stronger and stronger, until the
usefulness and reliability of the man are
greatly impaired. From close observation

| If young woman marries a man who is
fond Of drink, in expectation that she will
be able to reform him, she will fad herself
mistaken when it is too late to correct the
error. There are some ingenious argu-
ments to prove that drunkenness is a dis
ease, and there is no doubt that when once
contracted, it is a fearful malady, resisting
medicine and moral suasion.
Many persons labor under the delusion
that they can indulge in drink, and it will

breath, the countenance and the voice
The miserably spurious and pestilent char

work of degradation and death.
1t is an important question to every ap-
plicant for office, or for any public trust,
Does he drink? If he cannot negative that
question, let him slide. The saying has
been attributed to Jefferson, that ifhe had his
life to live over again, with the experience
he had gained, his requirement of every
applicant for office would be: Is he honest,
is he capable, is he sober? These are i'm
portant qualifications, and as capabilty
and honesty are indispensable in the dis
charge Of Important trusts, yet these only
preserve their balance while sobriety pre-
sides over them, and when drunkenness
steps in, they are cast into the shade. NJ.

Death of Aged Colored Persons.-Lydia
known to the older portion of cur citizens,
died. about two weeks since, at her home.
at Frenchtown.
Priscilla Bowman, another very aged
colored woman, died, in Elkton, at the be-
ginning Of the present week. For years
previous to her death, she made her home
with her daughter, who kindly cared for
her. She was very decrepit, having been
unable to walk, and to hear and talk very
little, for ten or more years past. Notwitll-
standing her decrepitude, she enjoyed a
little amusement occasionally, and we have
it on good authority, was recently taken
to fair and festival, on wheelbarrow,
by her filial daughter.
Alb" Evans, well advanced coloretl man,
and, for many years. one of the celebrities
of Elkton, also died recently. Thus, we
see, Death is no respecter Of persons.

The Gardiner Reporter has the following on
the hair question: THE other day at the Of
flee of DIR. NJ. F. Marble, we saw an insec
which was taken from jute sw tch belonging
to lady in this city. When alive it was
about quarter of an inch long, and under
the microscope it resemhled lizard in form
and was indeed hidcous looking object. We
believe that the presence of the loathsome
things are due more to the heat generated by
such tlick mass Of vegetable matter upon
the hair than to the character of the switches,
but if the excitement caused by the finding OF
the insect in the switches will induce the la
dies to refrain from buidcning their heads
(Which should be kept MS cool as possible)
with such load, whether the switches are
of jute or hair, these crawling things will not
have been made in vain"

THE CALAIS FIRE.

The destruction in Calais by the late fire
is even greater than the accounts by tele-
graph Indicated. More than forty acres
of groupd was burnt over. nearly half the
total valuation of the city was destroyed,
and over fifty families lost nearly all the
property they had and are entirely de-
pendent upon charity. Contributions are
being raised for the sufferers SO that their
immediate wants may be supplied, but the
loss to the city will be one requiring great
effort to overcome. Let charity open
wide its hand 10 aid the afflicted, and with
perseverance and courage on the part OF
the people. the waste places will be built
up better than before.

IRISH REPUBLICANS.

The Irish Republican Central Club OF
of New York has sent out an address to
| Irishmen, warning them against the DEM
,cratic party and urging them to enlist
under the banner of the republican party.
It SAYS: To the record of the Republican
party for the last ten years we earnestly
invite the attention of all thoughtful and
lnprejudiced Irishmen. They are no
light considerations which make us regard
that party as the one among Americans
most worthy of Irish support. 1t is the
party which has done most, both here and
elsewhere, to establish and perpetuatc
popular institutions: the party which,
during the long days of the nations peril,
when the Union established by the fathers
of T6-the guarantees of the peoples lib
critics, seemed about to be extinguished
forever, amid the Ieers and taunts of mon
archical Europe. bore high the banner OF
the Republic above the attacks of enemies
abroad or traitors at home. Unlike the
selfish Democracy or the partisan. it is
the advocate of principles truly and
broadly democratic, principles which, ire
spectivc of creed. or country, or color,
embody the theory of emancipation to all
the world, and have made America what
she is to-day, house of refuge to the
poor and oppressed of all nations.
