The LlquoP Law.


The Legislature 10 In receipt
Of numerous petitionsto amend
the present liquor law allow.
Ing wives to recover damages
from liquor SellerA so as to 70.
quire them to give notice be.
fore the selling so as to recov.
er. We hope the Legislature
wall do no such thing. Every
man carries on his face, in his
gait and the wag Of his tongue
the unotice" when it Is dan
gerouS to his family, 10 himself, ,
and society to permit him to
have more liquor. If the deal
er's greed for gain prompts him
to sell despite this notice, let
him pay the penalty.
Bat, say these petitions, the
property IS held fer damages
which may accrue, aud unprin-
cipled dealers have cOnspired
20 use this feature of it 10
blackmail their landlords
This we regard as another good
feature of the law. Landlords
will be careful not 10 rent their
property 10 unprincipled deal
ers, and the business will thus
be left in the hands of the
more responsible dealers, clos
ing out hundreds of the worst
deadfalls all over the country.
There IS but one addition |
that we deem desirable to our
present State liquor laws Let
the present law remain as it is,
without amendment. It's bet.
ter for the people, and better
for the reputable dealere.-I
But lot drunkenness be made
q misdeme an or, punishable
by fine and imprisonment, and
let 1t be the duty of Sheriffs,
Deputies, Constables, Marshals,
ETC., 10 bring offenders prompt
ly before the proper authori.
ties. Let US try to stiffen up
the law in another direction.

A LAWYER-LIKE ANSWER

A prominent lawyer was hailed
while passing a jewellery store, by
the proprietor, with: General, come
in here moment, we have sonething
for you 10 solve. II a man brings
his watch to be fixed, andit cost me
ten cents to do il, and / keep it 8
week, snd charge him six dollars,
what per cent, do 1 make ? We
have been figuring and make it 90O
per cent, and have only got up to
one dollar. How much do you say il
would be at six dollars ?" replied the
general, 81 do not wonder at your
perplexity, for it is well known, and
the celebrated Babbage calculating
machine has demonstrated, that at GER
lain points in progressive numbers
the law governing them changes. In
this case the law would change, and
long before it would reach the six
dollars it would run out of per cent.
and into what is known as larceny"
-Springfeld Republican.

OUR CALENDAR.

Its history is briefly this. Romulus,
King of Rome, 733 years b. c., divi-
ded the year into ten months of 3O4
days This period was not a year,
though called so. A year is the time
required for one revolution of the
earth around the sun, which is 365
days, 5 hours, As minutes and 4S Sec
onds The year of RcmuIus was,
therefore, mere arbitrary division OF
time, not corresponding with the mo.
tions OF the seasons, nor with the mo-
tions of the sun and earth. Numa
Pompilius, 7l3 years B. c., added
two months to the year, which was an
approach to correctness. Julius
Cesar, As years B c., made the year
consist OF 365 days and hours, and
ordained that every fourth year should
be leap year. This arrangement,
which made the year little too long.
lastei until the time of Pope Gregory
XlI., when the difference between the
technical year and the solar or actual
year, amounted to 10 days. To cor
rect this error, Gregory, A. D., 1882,
ordered that that the ten days be-
tween March 1Ith and 2lst should be
omitted, so that in that wear, March
2lst was the next day after March the
llth. To prevent further Irregular
ty, it was provided that the first year
ola century should be made leap
year, with the exception of the first
year of every fourth century. Thus
the years 100 and 1900 we're not
leap years, nor will the year 1900 be
such, but the year 1000 will be.

From the Atlantic Monthly.l
JEFFERSONS EARLY HOME.
By JAMES PAREoN.

All the important circumstances
of his home comes to mind as We
brood over scatterel 1 indications in
old and new Virginia books. We
see that giant of father, steadtast,
reserved, even austere, but not un-
gentle, busy with official labors and
the details of farm and barn during
the day, and in the evening giving
his boy (his only son for many years)
lessons In book keeping and arith-
metic; two elder sisters, perhaps,
taking their turn at slate and pencil,
CT sitting with their mother, plying
the needle; the father, not unfre
quently, treating the group to ia
vorite paper from the SPECTATOR
The morning scene, too, with the
mother and her servants, We can in
fer with much probability from des
cription of similar interiors preserv.
ed from that periods.
Deeply as Jefferson came to hate
slavery, clearly as he foretold the
ruin enclosed in the system, he saw
il only in its better aspects ct his own
home. He saw his father patiently
drilling negroes, not long from their
native Africa, into carpenters, mill.
ers, wheelrights, shoemakers, and
farmers. He saw his mother OF
morning in her sitting room, which
was well furnished with contrivances
for facilitating labor, seated with her
daughters and her servants, like An
dromache surrounded by her maid
ens, all busy with household tasks
In such busy, healthy home as
this, with father, mother. two elder
sisters, four younger sisters, and a
little brother, Thomas Jefferson lived
in his boyhood. He was sirgularly
happy in his eldest sister, Jane,
whose mind was akin to his own.
She was his confiIent and compan-
ion, and shared his taste for the arts.
particularly his early love for music.
The family were all reared and bap
tised in the Church of England, and
this sister greatly exeelled in sing
ing the few fine old psalm-tunes
which then constituted the whole
psalmodJ OF the Protestant world.
For a century, it is said, there were
but FIVE tunes sung in the colonial
churches. BY the fireside in the
winter ere ng :, and on the banks OF
the rlver in the soft, summer twilight,
there were family singings, Jane j eff
ferson's melodious voice leading the
choir; 70 which was added, SIS the
years went on, the accompaniment OF
her broiher's violin.
