PROHIBITION NOT FAILURE.-The Lewis
ton Journal in an article in which it Justly de-
| precates.t the hasty conclusions of justin Nc
Carthy as to the alleged failure Of prohibition
Ia Maine says very truly and forcbly:
With all the looseness with which prohibi-
ton las been enforced in many parts of the
State, every candid observer of the progress of
the temperance cause in Maine during the past
quarter OF century, can but admit that the
law has done immense good. 1t is now twenty
i've years since the policy of this State was
changed from license to prohibition; and let
any man OF fifty years call back in memory the
state of things with respect to the sale and use
OF Hquor previous to that time, and compare it,
with the present condition, and he will be sur
prlsed himself to note the change for the bet
ter. Prohibition has done wonders, notwith-
standing the opposition which it has encoun-
tered and Notwithstanding the shamelully in
ehclent man ner In which it has been exc
cuted.
While We strive to make its execution more
faithful, let us not become impatient and turn
against principle which has accomplished so
much, because it is not doing all we expected
Prohibitory laws, like all other human enact
ments are only at The best partial remedy for
the evils they are aimed at. Because the crime
of murder prevails now as in the past shall we
conclude that our laws against murder of no
use? Neither should We despair because prohi-
bisiOn does not utterly extirpate grOg-shops
for the rum seller, as well as the murderer
will always be found to greater or less extent
SO long as human nature is what it is. But, as
without the law against murder, there would
be scores of murders where now there is one;
so without the law prohibiting erog shops, en-
forced as it was in Lewiston, previous to last
Spring. there would be a vast increase of dram
selling and all its lamentable consequences
We repeat, Therefore, that our experience with
prohibition here in Maine, has proved beyond
successful question its potency as an auxiliary
in the promotion of the temperance reform.

CAMP RUGGLEs, on the north fork of

stroyed, by prairie fire. The post, on
the extreme northern frontier of Ne
braska, was composed of company OF

and the troops fought the fire stoutiy,

bounded over the fence, and was in

tite, eats, and prays day. and night for
the Lord to deliver him from this terri

knees, since which time it has gradually
increased.
THE mystery of the " frozen well' at
Brandon, in which water remains fro
zen during the hot months of the sum-
mer, has never been satisfactorily ex-
planned. 1t was supposed that the
| freezing was due to the dissolution of
some material in the water, or to cleo
tricity, but it is found, by chemical an
alysis, that the water holds nothing in
solution which would account for its
temperature, and the electric needle
fails to show any current of electricity.
the opinion is that the ice in summer
is caused by the freezing of the gravel
bed during the previous winters, and
that the cold gets fastened in, in some
lincomprehensible manner, and the ice
Just stays through the summer.

The Boy Who Wanted Some Fun.

A boy got rat into a room yesterday,
at the corner of Twentieth and Jeffer
son streets, and attempted to scare it to
death by chasing it around the room.
The rat ran up the leg of the lads pants,
and came near soaring the tormentor to
death. 1t crawled all over the lads
body and limbs, from the waist down,
all the time between the clothes and
skin, scratching and biting as it went,
until it finally got above the waistband,
and would have escaped but for the
shirt-collar, which was too tight. The
boy screamed at the top of his voice,
and could scarcely relate the cause OF
his distress to his companions, who in
great numbers came rushing to him.
As soon as the cause of his distress was
understood, his clothes were taken off
as rapidly as possible, and the trouble
some animal shaken from its retreat,
scampered off to its hole, as glad to
escape as the boy was to be free of its
teeth and claws. That lad will not sit
down comfortably for some days, and
will doubtless fight shy of rats for the
rest of his Lfe.-LouiSviLIe Courier-JoT

Queen YictOria,s Lover.

Do our readers remember Edward
Jones (called by Punch at the time In /
60 Jones) who, some 80 years ago fell
in love with Queen Victoria, and used
to enter forcibly the royal residences
sometimes going down the chimneys-,
that he might gaze upon the royal
countenance? Well, he is just dead in
a st. Giles hovel. To get rid of the
amorous intruder he was shipped off to
Australia, from which land he returned
about five years since, with the tender
passion still burning in his bosom, albeit
the lady is grown old and fat, and is a
grandmother. Being suddenly told by
somebody, who probably did not know
his feelings, that Her Majesty was hope,
lessly i'll, Edward Jones took to his bed
and speedily expired. Some may con
slider this an Unprecedented case ot
monomania, but it is one which, al
though in mitigated form, has affected
a considerable portion of Englishmer
and Englishwomen in times past, al
though the Standardization of the
monarch does really seem to be going
| little out of fashion now.
