TIE GENEVA ARBITRATION. AS the
Alabama claims question still occupies
much of public attention. in consequence of
the unexpected difficulties raised by Eng
land, it may be as well to keep in mind the
character of the men composing the Tri-
bunal Of Arbitration who are to set in
judgment upon the two nations, as well as
of the character of the men who are to ar
que the points in dispute. The five Arbi-
traitors are Sir Alexander Cockburn, Lord
Chief Justice of England Mr. Chas. Fran
els Adams, late United States Embassa-
dor at the Court Of st. james Count Sclo-
pis, Italian Senator, and one of the leading
jurisconsults of Europe Jacques Stemphi,
eX-President of the Swiss Confederation I;
and Baron Itajuba. a distinguished legist
of Brazil. Each government is represent
ed by a special agent. Hon. j.. Bancroft
Davis on the part OF the United States,
and Lord Tenderden on the part of Eng
land. NJ. a. Favrat. of Berne, was cho-
sen Secretary of the tribunal. The coun-
sci are Sir Roundell Palmer for Great Bri-
tain, and w. NJ. Evarts, Caleb Cushing
and Mr.. Morrison Waite for the United
States, in this great International suit. The
gentlemen arc all well known to fame for
high character and eminent services.
THERE is a singular condition of affairs
in Connecticut, now that her campaign for
the election of State and other officers is
about opening. The Democracy there are
rery poor. They have no money. Hereto
fore; on the eve of campaign, every. De-
mocratic leader, from the highest to the
lowest, was flush with funds-money was
plenty, and no trouble experienced to meet
all the ordinary and extraordinary expen-
ses of the campaign, Now, as we have
said, the lack of funds is sorely felt by the
Democracy of Connecticut, and the cause
OF their poverty is traced to defunct Tam
many. Tweed & Co. furnished their
friends in Connecticut with all they want
ed, but the firm is now dissolved, the source
of corruption dried up, and, therefore, we
may look for fair and pure election in
Connecticut, which win make it easy for
the Republicans to succeed.

4 person IN Maryland, who was ad-

cradle uproar in his kitchen, one night
had the curiosity to step, without noise
to the door, to know what was the mat
ter, when he found his servants indulg-
ing in the most unbounded roars OF
laughter at couple of negro boys who
were mimicking himself in his drunken
6ts-as how be reeled and staggered, how
he looked and nodded and hiecoughed
and tumbled. The pictures which these
little darkies drew OF him, aud which
had filed the rest with such inexhausti
Bile merriIneDt, struck hin with so saluta.
~ disgust that from that night he be-
came perfect sober man 20 the joy OF
his wife and children. It's a pity some
other men could not see themselves uni
tated in like manner. II hi ght do theu

A wee prom.

Not long since we were detained at
station on our Railroad fer an hou
awaiting the train, and we fell in eompa,
ny With the grocery keeper of the place
who informed US that he sold on an aver
age over barrel of whisky per week, By
retail, at ten cents drink. Examine
for a moment what that will amount to
for one year, aud then ask yourselves
what return that neighborhood can show
for such an expenditure, for in this case
the demand is purely local one. A
barrel contains 1874 eills, "a gill would
be at least an average dram) at ten cents
8 gill, makes sI34 40 per week, this
multiplied by So, the lumber of weeks
in year. and you have the sum OF
Sc, 9S9 so. sum greater than all that
people pay for State, county or school
taxes 10 year.

Not So MmcIl water.

Drinking wine is a habit. So is drink
ing spirits, ale, cider, coffee, and water.
The last is thought a necessity. but TO
drink much is a habit These people
never perspire as much as those who
drink more. The more that is drunk
the more water passes away, or the sys
tenn would suffer. AS it is, the strain
affects it. The skin, the kidneys, bowels
and lungs are all drawn up. The result
is, as may be naturally expected, exhaus-
ton. For this reason The man who
drinks much water, particularly during
the summer and in the hottest weather
is less able to endure fatigue. The wa
ter is of no benefit to him-that is. the
excess. Il must pass away, and this re
quires an effort Of the system, which Is
the sweating process. Had he not used
the excess of water he would not have
perspired so-it would not have been
there for the system to expel. 1t is q
habit TO drink water so much a false
thirst is created. We should drink only
what is needed The habit of drinking
more will soon be overcome. and the per
son will feel much stronger. aud more
capable of bearing fatigue. In winter.
little fluid is needed beyond what our
food furnishes in summer, some more,
but not much Country Gentleman.

SERVED HIM RIGHr.-The law against
drunkenness is as most of our readers
know almost dead letter upon the
statute book. 1t is so rarely enforced
that many people are not aware that
drunkenness is 4 penal offence. Such
was the case with a witness, who the
other day in one of our courts, when
called upon to tell what he knew of a
difficulty that occurred in his presence.
attempted to be facetious and remarked
that he was at the time so drunk he did
not know what was done. To his sur
prise, the Judge upon his confession OF
drunkenness fined him. and instead OF
laughing with him the crowd present
laughed at him. He left the court room,
We hope, wiser and better man.

POliticaI.
The Il. ". G. L. at its session in May
last tyassed the follovino resolution

The r. ". G. L. at its session in May
last, passed the following resolution:
RssolUed, That we reiterate the form
er declarations of this r. W. G l., that
our organization of Good Templars is
not political organization, and from its
social structure never can be SO used.
The reason that it never can be so
used is, that its objects and purposes are
higher, pobler, better and purer. It's
aims are to do good to our fellow beings,
while politics has become mere scram-
bic for Office, and when we see a member
of our Order seeking after office in its
organizations, We begin TO doubt his
fidelity to the cause, and that the virtue
that is in him, is but as sounding brass
aud tinkling cymbals."
