Liquor Drinking and the Temperance
Cause In Great Britain.

In the United Kingdom, in 1869, there
were 150,599 taverns. In that year the sum
of e112, 1885, ,603 was spent for drinks, which
was larger amount by more than 100000
than was spent in 1S5S-61. There was one
seller of liquor to every 33 houses. The
amount of grain consumed to produce the
drinks in 1869 was 62,772,572 bushels.
This it is estimated would, ii made into
bread, have produced enough loaves to pave a
road ten yard vide more than 1900 miles
long, So says til, Rev. G. H. Vibbert, las
quoted in the Boston Journal, who has been
to England to lecture on Temperance The
reverend gentleman also says that he saw in
six or more" liquor shops in Manchester
more drinking men and women on single
Saturday night than he had seen in six years
in New England. 1t must be recollected,
however, that in Old England, owing to the
absence OF prohibitory laws, the drinking is
done in the highways, while in New Eng
land, through the enforcement OF prohibitory
statutes, the smiling is done in the by-ways.
On the other hand, Mr.. Vibbert says there
are hundreds of parishes where no liquor is
permitted to be sold, and instances Low Moor.
a village in Lancashire, containing a popula-
tion OF 100 people, where no Intoxicating
liquor of any Kind is sold, and where "there
is neither policeman, prison, pawnbroker,
doctor nor lawyer" The United Kingdom
Alliance, inaugurated in 1853, is advocating
permissive bill, by which the inhabitants OF
any district may veto the issue of licenses for
the sale OF liquor by a vote of two-thirds of
the number of votes polled. Among the
supporters of the Alliance are some of the
most distinguished men in the country. The
principles of the Alliance are rapidly gaining
ground. In 1871 one hundred an thirty-six
members of Parliament declared tor the per-
missive bill, against only ninety-tour in 1860;
and it was conceded by the liquor dealers thai
the final adoption of its provisions was only
question of time. There can be no doub,
that If the rum-shops, both in Great Britain
and in this country, depended upon the will
of the voters, there would be considerable
mourning in the ranks of the keepers of hose
establishments. Mr.. Vibbert prophesies the
ultimate triumph of the temperance cause in
Great Britain, and speaks ieelingly of the
special kindness shown him as an American,
in London, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester
aud other places where he addressed temper
ance assembages.

HERRrNGs AND WEDDINGT.--The eonnec-
ton between herrings and marriages may not
be obvious to all, but the Scottish registers
make it clear enough. In the returns for the
third quarter of the present year the Regis
trar of Fraserburgh states that the herring
fishery was very successful, and the value of
the catch, including casks and curing, may bA
set down at e130,0O0, and the marriages
were so per cent. above the average. On the
other hand, the Registrar of Tarbet has to re-
port a steady failing off in the fishing at that
orvvk, and, consequently, the quarter passed
without an entry in the marriage register.
The Registrar OF Lechgilphead also returns
that the herring fishing has boen failure in
the loch, and states that this accounts for the
blank in the marriage column this quarter.
One Registrar, in his return for the quarter,
reports marriages in his district, ''like angels
visits, few and far between;'' at the fishing
viliges it may be put more briefy-no her
ring, no wedding.

THE New ATTORNEY GENERALS Policy.
A large number of gentlemen from the Pa
citic coast, including the members Of Con-
gress, called one evening, on George ii. Will
liams, recently appointed attorney general.
In response to their congratulations, Mr.. VIII
Jams expressed his thanks and said: II ac-
cept the position with ditlidence, but to the
best of my abilities shall discharge the duties
so as to promote the true interests of the
country and reflect credit upon the present
administration. All the abilities and ener-
gies that possess shall devote to the en-
iorcement OF the laws and the suspension OF
violence, disorder and crime. When am
placed at the head of the department of JUS
tice, so far as the jurisdiction of that de-
partment may so, its mardates will be dis
pensed without fear or favor, and with
equal vigor and respect for all classes and
conditions of men. / know not what may
be in the claims now made about official de-
linquencies in feoera offices. but so far as the
exposure and the prosecution OF such delin-
quents devolves upon the department of JUS
tice, no partisan considerations will have
weight, and no pains will be spared to bring
the guilty to speedy and condign punishment.
l deeply regret that in some portions of the
country spirit OF lawlessness seems to pre-
vail. will favor every consideration of kind
ness to induce obedience to the laws, but, il
no other means will answer, then / am for
using the whole power Of the government in
the most vigorous and effective manner, to
crush out every conspiracy against the peace
of society and the safety of unoifending citi-
zens. am ashamed that any considerable
number of persons in the country should
engage in acts of violence and disorder
for there is nothing to be gained and much to
be lost in that way. Life without safety to
persons and property, and society without
good order and peace are comparatively of lit
tie value, but if the passions OF hatred and
revenge are allowed to overcome these con-
siderations, then it becomes the government
to interpose with her strong arm to subdue
and repress those passions. No one, in the
light Of recent events in New York and else
where, can take an Office now and escape the
vigilant eye Of the people, and nothing but ac-
tive and upright devotion to duty will give
general satisfaction. shall struggle to meet
the popular demand as.well as to meet the ex-
pectations of my friends, with how much oi
success time and events will determine.
