ANOTHER VICTIM OF THE WHISKY
TRArFIc.-Those who deal out whyisky
for a living have the consolation of
kno wing that the traffic in which they
are engaged causes the ruin and death
of moro men than I"war, pestilence or
famine" Whisky loves q shining mark,
and often picks upon the gifted of So
ciety for its victims when these get
started on the downward road, it seems
no power can stop them. The other
day the papers announced that A. d.
Newkirk, an agent for Van Amburgs
show, had frozen to death in the cell of
New York prison. The item was
read by thousands without creating any
impression, perhaps. Since then it is
announced thdkM Mr.. Newkirk was for
merly a lawyer of good practice in In
diana, Judge of the Common Pleas
Court, and two years was Speaker of
the legislature. Liquor brought him
down, as It has, brought down many a
better man. Finally he became con-
nected with Van Ambnrg's menagerie,
and receiving his salary in New York,
he went upon spree, ending in his be-
ing lodged in q felon's cell, where he
froze tesdeath. Mr.. Newkirk was no
better for having held the offices named
than many thousands who go to their
long homes every year by whisky, but
the fact that he obtained these response
BILE positions shows that heWAs gifted
with intellectual faculties that might
have made him very useful member
of society habit not been that whisky
weighed down his better nature and
MADE him q brute. The saving of one
such man is worth years Of effort on
the part of Temperance people.

ITEMS FROM OTTAWA.

Ottawa feels the pressure of the
money market considerably. There is
much complaint these days of tax gath
ering and some signs of economy are
to be seen. Men wear their old clothes /;
some let their children go almost bare,
but continue to smoke, chew and drink.
Such is economy.
Old Winter continues to frown heav-
lily. He let up few days ago only to
get better hold. He has everything
in q tight grip this morning (Dec. 19).
New corners taunt us by inquiring .af-
ry to-day is cold irony.
There is a good deal of talk, and
some work, about the machine shops of
the L., L. s. 6. r. R., which have been
located here. The matchmaking of
Main street goes bravely on. The fur
niture factory is approaching compile

considerable preparation going on for

the well-wishers of society. Scarcely
less important to the best interests of
American Institutions and pure morals,
is the result of the efforts that have
been made to- route the nest of law
breakers in Utah, who have revealed in
their crimes for years. From Haunting
their detestabIe doctrines in the faceOf
the world, and impudently defying all
power TO interfere with them, we find
them humble and willing to let the
Government exercise its authority over
its oWn territory. Mormonism will
soon be amongn "the things that were"
in Utah. - y -
And So, casting a glance over 1871
we find enough of the greater catas-
tropics which be faEi hhmsnftE, to-nuha-
Der it among the most memorable years
of the last decade. While some of its
aspects are cheering, there has been an
unsual degree of the harder dispense
tions of fate. Whether the public shall
draw any useful lessons from its start
ling events, it is not in our power to
say, but there is enough of sadness in
its history TO turn our reflections to
other subjects than the mere accom-
plishments of human ambition. If the
thousands who have suffered from the
calamities of the year can find comfort
in the rejection that there is future
compensation for: the evils. of this life
that there is something better beyond
k-sonething worth an;their woe here
It is wen with them.

President Theirs recommendation,
in his recent message, that the French
army be incressed to three hundred
thousand men, with an annual contin-
gent of ninety thousand, seems a pretty
strong. continuation of Prince Bis
marck's official assertion that France
will seek her revenge in a renewal of
the war as soon as the payment of the
indemnity shall be well off her hands.
When Louis Napoleon began his cru
SADIE on the German frontier his army
numbered only about two hundred
thousand men, though he thought it
larger than it was, and in times of peace
three hundred thousand troops have
generally been regarded as sufficient
for all purposes. But the proposed con-
-tingent will serve to swell the French
army within a very few years to an al-
most fabulous size, and Germany can
scarcely fail to see menace in the prop
osition.

Dun SENAToRs.-From list of the
Committees of the US. Senate sent us,
we see that our Senators are well pro-
vided' with committee work. Senator
Pomeroy retains his place as Chairman
of the Committee on Public Lands, and
is also Chairman of the Select Commit
tee on the Revision of Senate Rules.
He is also second on the Committee on
Post Offices and Post Roads. He is
the only Senator who is honored with
the craftsmanship of two COMMITTEES,
+, which shows that he must stand pretty
well in that body, as the Senators elect
their committees.
Mr.. Caldwell is sixth on the Commits
tee on Indian Affairs; third on the
Committee on Private Land Claims
and fifth on the Committee on Mines
and Mining, which is good for new
Senator.

Two more defalcations have been
discovered in Washington. A special
detective has lodged a complaint against
two clerks in the Treasury Department,
whose defalcations amount in the ag-
gregate to about fifty thousand dollars.
The two men have been in the Depart
ment for many years, and were espe-
cially trusted attaches. They have
fallen, as so many others have, by
making haste to be rich through the de-
vious ways of Wall street. The men
have been arrested, and it is thought

will also be held to account at an early

Two very foolish and ridiculous tele-
grams " ere, sent over. the country the
latter part of last week; one from
Chicago TO the effect that Grant intend
ed to get up riot there, to show the
necessity for the presence of q few
troops in that vicinity; and one from
New York to the effect that Senator
Conklin had compromised with Tweed
and Hall, and was to shield them from
imprisonment, in return for which they
were to aid in carrying out several
glitterIng Grant schemes. We can i'm
agine no reason for sending out such
stuff over the country. If the oppo-
nents of General Grant are put to such
straits as to try to injure him in that
way, their case is indeed desperate.

I've and this appears TO be about the
ratio of results obtained throughout
the country. These elections were on
ly for municipal officers, but they serve
toshoE the'temper of the Spanish peo-
pie; and the result is by no means en-
couraging to the hopes of the new dy-
nasty. Were the Spaniards other than
they are, there might be reason to an

the Spanish character or in the history
ofSpanish-American republics, to make
