DR.. HOLLAND, in the April number of
Scribner's Monthly, concludes a vigorous
article on "The Temperance Question and
the Press" as follows
o, Heaven for one generation of clean and
unpoluted men linen whose veins are not fed
with fire ; men fit to be the companions OF
pure women men worthy to be the father OF
children; men who do not stumble upon the
rock of apoplexy at midage, or go blindly
CROPPING and staggering down into drunkard 3
grave, but who can sill and look upon the
faces of their grandchildren with eyes undim-
med and hearts uncankered. Such a genera.
ton as this is possible in America and to
produce such generation as this, the persis-
tent, conscientious work Of the public press is
entirely competent as an instrumentality. The
press can do tChat it ,oiH; and if it will faiths
fully do its duty, Maine laws will become
things unthought of, aud temperance reform.
ers and temperance organizations will become
extinct.

THE difference between the diet of the
ancients and that of us moderns is very
striking. The ancient Greeks and Romans
used no alcoholic liquor, it being unknown
to them; nor coffee, nor tea, nor chocolate,
nor sugar, nor even butter, for Galen tells
us that he had never seen butter but once
in his life. They were ignorant of the
greater number of our tropical spices, as
Glove, nutmeg, mace, ginger, Jamaica pep
per, curry, pimento. They used neither
buckwheat nor French beans, nor spinach,
nor sage, tapioca, arrowroot. nor the potato
or its varieties; not even the common, but
sort of marsh grown bean not many of
our fruits-as the orange, tamarind, nor
American maize. On the contrary, they
ate substances which we now neglect-the
mallow, the herb, ox-tongue, the sweet
acorn, the lupin. They liked the flesh of
wild asses, dogs. the dormouse, the fox and
the bear.

ANYTHING like common sense in the
fashions ofladies' dress is cause for common
dalton. We are grateful to learn that
Opening day" which establishes the style
for the season, PROF. ounces in favor of short
walking dresses. Here is the edict
"Walking dresses are all made roisee en-
terre, that is. off the ground. The absurd
style that some silly women have attempted
to introduce this muddy spring. Of allow
ing their dresses to trail in the mre recalls
the demi-monde at Longchamps. Any
trained dress is suitable only for carriage,
and if lady be not SO fortunate as to own
walking dress she had better not display
her poverty, by walking in house or
reception dress" We are sorry not to sea
something on the subject of "heels."
Women complain that it fatigues them
greatly to walk. And yet they go minciug
along on heels that are about as broad as a
nickle fve-cent piece, and as much out
of proportion to the size of the natural heel
as pony carriage to camel. When
women dare to be Independent of absurd
fashions, we shall begin to think them
several degrees nearer the point where they
may exercise advisedly the right of suffrage

1t has long been question as to whether
chewing plug tobacco was injurious, and
probably it never would have been clearly
settled only for an Illinois postmaster. 1t
was found that a registered letter had been
opened, and $500 distracted, aud a
detective took microscope and found that
the mucilage which stuck the letter to-
gether, after it had been opened, contained
small specks of plug tobacco, and be
followed the letter back to where it started
and found the singular coincidence that
the postmaster there chewed plug tobacco,
and charged him with the theft and made
him own up. So tobacco proved luxurious
to him, as be was sent to States prison for
life. Our postmasters should take warning.

"There is nothing like trying. Where

pen and who did not know her letters. The

The superior organization and great extent of the

The WORKING PEoPLE.-The painters
in Detroit, Michigan, it is reported, are on
strike to reduce the time of working
from sixty hours to filty-nine hours a
week. They claim the privilege of stop
ping work on Saturdays at five o'clock, an
hour EARLIER than on the other days of the
week. The employers having refused to
grant the privilege asked for, the men have
formed a Cooperative Association of Paint
ers, with a capital of $4,000. The en-
ployees in large flint glass works at Will
liamsburgh, near New York city, have
struck in consequence of reduction of
wages by the employers. The riggers, at
New Bedford, Mass, have struck against
reduction Of wages from the present
rates of forty cents an hour

The Press Of Philadelphia, says the COM
mittee Of the State Senate now luvestiga-
ting the anthracite difficulties seem further
than ever from decision. This Demo-
cratic idea of continuing the disastrous
deadlock five or six weeks, by ponderous,
prolix, and unnecessary investigation, is
almost brilliant as that which proposes
to terminate the Ku-klux outrages in the
South by means Of rowing investigating
committee.
