Prohibitory Laws j.

From the Lewiston (Me.) Gazette
We some times hear it said that
there is more liquor drank now in
Maine, under prohibition, than there
was forty years ago under license.
But every candid man knows bet
ter. Indeed, comparison of
Maine to-day with license States
shows that there are not one-fourth
as many places where intoxicating
liquors are sold rs a beverage as
there are in license States, and not
one-eighth as much liquor sold per
inhabitant. The last report of the
Attorney General Of Maine shows
ninety per cent of criminals are
made by the liquor traffic and gives
some interesting statistics of the
astonishing decrease of crime
in this State, growing out OF pro
hibition and its enforcement. Du-
ring the year 1866 the prison, Jail
and reform school received 2o4
criminals. The number sentenced
in 1867, was l57; in 1868, ia; in
1869, 1870; in 1870, $50; in 1861,
152; and in 1872 only Z. 100. Esti-
mating the average of commitments
for the seven years under review.
we find it l52. This result indi-
Gates the remarkable fact that the
crime during the last year, Ns72,
IN which the reform movement has
cone hand in hand with prohibition)
is thirty-three per cent. less than
the average Of the last seven years.
1t should be noticed, that the num-
Der convicted and sentenced last
year is fifty per cent. less than in
1865, and thirty-thrce per cent. less
than in 1871.

Household Treasures.

There is one thing no family pre-
tends to do without. That is a ham
mcr. And yet there is nothing that
goes to make up the equipment Of
domestic establishment that causes
one-half as much agony and profan-
ity as hammer. 1t is always an
old hammer, with a handle that is
inclined to silver, and always bound
to slip. The face is as round as a
full moon and as smooth as glass;
When it strikes nail full and
square, which it has been known to
do, the act will be found to result
from combination of pure acci-
dents. The family hammer is one
of those rare articles we never prof
it by. When it glides off q nail
head, and mashes down couple of
fingers, we unhesitatingly deposit it
in the yard, and observe that we
will never use it again. But the
blood has hardly dried OH the rag
before we are out doors in search
Of that hammer, and ready to make
another trial. The result rarel y va
rics, but we never profit by it. The
awful weapon goes on knocking off
our nails, and MASKING whole joints,
and slipping off the handle to the
confusion Of mantel ornaments, and
breaking the commandments, and
cutting up an assortment Of astound-
ing and unfortunate antics, without
let or hindrance. And yet we put
up with it, and put the handle on
again, and lay it away where it
won't get lost, and do up our mutt
lated and smarting fingers. And
yet, if the outrageous thing should
happen to get lost, we kick up
regular hullabaloo about it until it
is found again. Talk about the tyr
annizlng influence of bad habit!
1t is not to be compared with the
family hammer.

Two Receipts for Getting into Good
Society.

Mrs. l., of E. Park, was
always to be seen everywhere, no
matter what difficulty much more
exalted parsonage experienced in
getting invitations. She was at the
marriage Of Paul Esterhazy with
Lady Sarah Villiers-th Prince
who dropped eloO worth of dia-
monds from his jeweled attire when
ever he went to a ball-and saw
everything, though the crowd was
so great that nobody else could see
anything but the person before him.
This, however, she contrlved to do
by getting into the pulpit. To OBJ
tain an invitation to Lady London
derry's ball required greater tact.
"How did You do it?" asked a
friend. Mrs. L., of E. Park,
hcsitated considerably before an
swering the question, but at last an
swered: "Well, I'll tell you. The
morning of that ball l sent her lady
ship n large vanfull of the most
beautiful flowers; and she was SO
delighted with them that she sent
me back most pressing invitation
to come and see how well my flow
ers looked ;at night" "My garden
is my life," she added, "and / never
rob that for anybody;" but for f25
spent in Covent Garden she found
she could be asked wherever she
she pleased. A still cheaper meth
Cd of receiving good company at
ones own table was adopted by q
certain "city man." who requested
the honor Of the Duke Of Yelling
toms company t. meet Marshal
Soult, and that of Marshal Soult to
meet the Duke of Wellington, al
though unacquainted with either of
them, for he knew that both of these
illustrious warriors were SO fond Of
lighting their battles DER again"
with one another that they were
sure to accept. And then he invi-
ted people to meet Marshal Soult
and the Duke OF Wellington.-From

A Dinnor Excuse.


From Lippincott's Magazine.
Apologies for poor dinners are
generally out of place. But when a
lady has forgetfiul husband, who,
without warning, brings home doz-
en- guests to sit down to aplain fam
ily dinner for three or four, it is not
i n human nature to keep absolute
silence. What to say, and how to
say it, form the problem: Mrs.
Tucker, the wife of Judge Tucker,
of Williamsburg, solved this prob
lem many years ago. She was the
daughter or niece Il am uncertain
which) of Sir Pcyton Skipwith, and
celebrated for her beauty, wit, ease
and grace of manner. Her temper
and tact were put to the proof one
court day, when the Judge brought
with him the accustomed half score
or more of lawyers, for whom not
the slightest preparation had been
made, the Judge having quite for
gotten to remind his wife that it was
court-day, and she herself, strange
to tell, having overlooked the fact.
The dinner was served with ele-
gance, and Mrs. 7. made herself
very charming. Upon rising to
leave the guests to their wine, she
said: "Gentlcmcn, you have dined
to-day with Judge Tucker; promise
me now that you will all dine to-
morrow with me-"
This WAS all her apology, where
upon the gentlemen swore that such
wife was beyond price. The Judge
then explained the situation, and
the next day there was noble ban
quet.
Moral-Never worry guest with
apologies.

The Kind Of Boar that Frightened q
Maine Boy

\ number of young men of this
city who were camping out week
before last, near a lake some forty
miles to the eastward, had written
some letters to their relatives and
friends at home, and entrusted them
to one of the party, who volunteered
to carry them out to the stage road,
several miles distant, to give them
to the driver of the stage, which
reached that point abou: dusk. The
messenger had been gone nearly
half an hour, when he surprised his
comrades by rushing back into
camp, painting from his cxertions
and evidently thoroughly scared
In reply to the numerous questions
which were showered upon him, he
related-after pausing to get breath
that just before he reached the
road a huge bear coolly marched up
to the path in front of him, and sit
ting down upon its launches, growl-
cd and gnashed it's teeth. Having
no weapons, the messenger decided
that discretion was a great deal bet
ter than fighting bear unarmed,
and he turned and ran, the huge
animal numbering after him at 4
clumsy but still rapid pace. Our
hero was a good runner, however,
and outstripped Bruin a short dis
tance from camp. He was just pro-
posing that his friends take their

Tho Boston Preacher That Defeuded
Anauias.

The folio wing is brief sketch of
the sermon of the Rev. George L.
Clancy, preached in the Holly Street
Church, Boston. We give it, as
there has been some misundcrstand-
ing about it. His text was from
Psalms cxvi. ll-"I said in my
haste, 'all men arc liars;, and his
subject was "a Plea for Ananias."
After repeating the story of Anani-
rs and calling for the sympathy Of
his hearers, he carried out the very
letter of his text in an elaborate
plea for his defendant. 1t was
fac-simile OF the plan of defense
adopted in the courts and Legisla-
lures in behalf of criminals. The
prudence of Ananias in reserving
par, Of his property for his family,
his wisdom in seeing the evil re-
suits of . communistic society, his
generosity in the gift of half his for
tune to the Church, and lastly the
tenderness of his conscience, in that
when charged with his guilt, he was
50 overcome by his sense Of shame
that he fell down and gave up the
ghost, were all enlarged upon, and
the whole was interspersed with
the sensational and sympathetic
element so commonly used and
with such great influence. Having
consumed half an hour in his plea,
and puzzled his congregation as to
his meaning, he suddenly relieved
all minds of any misapprehension
by saying that the whole defense
had been made by carnal man, not
by himself. He detested it. All
its argument was irrelevant, all its
praise was exaggerated, all its
emotion was insincere, all its effort
was unworthy an honest advocate,
and its conclusion was sheer piece
of dcmoralizing rhetoric, and yet no
argument had been used, no method
resorted to, no feeling professed, no
rhetoric used which had not become
the common and accepted plans for
defense used in courts, Legislatures,
and, as was that day seen, in the
Christian pulpits. He hoped God
would send new Pentacost, which
would sweep the land and rid it of
the deadly miasma which now
brooded upon the people and their
institutions.

GLORIES OF SHOPPING.

What politics is to 4 man, shop
ping is to a woman. The foresight
and strategy he wastes in cam
paign, she spends IN selecting col
ors and making new suit out Of an
old one. There is no better fun
afoot than to make an errand or SO
at Stewards and see the purchasers.
The goods one gets used to after
seeing them twice OF thrice, the
people never. The handsomcst wo-
men in New York pass daily under
the light of the rotunda. Between
the lace and ribbon counters is 4
better place to study society in its
feminine phases than at an Acade-
nv ball. Mmc. Undevclt and her

naked human labor; but in Moriah
there is compulsion ofthe features
of Nature herself to the service of
the builder. In actual bulk, the
Great Pyramid is to the Temple
rock as five to nine, if we descend
but as far as the sills of the five
double gates of the Mountain of the
house. If we carry the comparison
down to the level at which the low
est foundation Of the walls is inlaid
in the rock at the angles Of the in
closure, the bulk is three times that
of the Great Pyramid. The cubic
contents Of the mason's work may
not amount to tenth part of that
piled up by Souphis. But the hill
has been honey -combed with cham
bers and galleries; and the dcclin-
ing part to the south covered with
vaults and arches, to which Gizeh
can show no parallel. No merely
artificial structure could have so
successfully resisted the rcsolute
efforts Of the two greatest military
nations Of the ancient world to dc.
stroy its existence and obliterate its
memory. No other monument, long
surviving the era Of Asiatic and
Italian power can ever, like the no.
BILE Sanctuary, mark by its very
ruins, the successive periods of it's
glory and its fall!
If we regard not so much the evil
dence ofthc labor devoted to the
work of the Temple as the effect
produced on the mind by its appar-
ent magnitude, we may suggest the
following comparisons: The length
of the eastern wall Of the Sanctuary
is rather more than double that Of
one side oil the Great Pyramid. It's
height, from the foundation on the
rock at the south, and near the
northern angles, was nearly third
of that Of the Egyptian structure.
If to this great height of l52 feet of
solid wall be added the descent of
ia feet to the bed of the Kedron,
and the further ele, alton Of 100
feet attained by the pinnacle Of the
Temple porch, we have total
height of 426 feet, which is only 50
feet less than that of the Great Pyra-
mid. The area of the face of the
eastern wall is more than double
that Of one side of the pyramid
Thus the magnitude Of the Noble
Sanctuary of Jerusalem far exceed
ed that of any other temple in the
world. Two amphitheaters Of the
size of the Coliseum would have
stood within its colossal girdlc, and
left room to spare. The Coliseum
is said to have seated $1,000 spec
tators, and accommodated $4,000
more in its arena and passages.-
For such a number to have been
crammed within its circle, the space
for each person must have been
limited to II inches by 90 inches.
Allowing two cubits each way, or
four square cubits for each wor-
shipperin in the temple, the Sanctuary
would have contained 10000; the
Chel, excluding the Priests Court,
10000 more, and there would yet
have boen room in the Great Court
and the cloisters to make the total
reach to more than 100000.

A Ridiculous Habit.

There is habit peculiar to many
walkers, which Punch, some years
ago, touched upon satirically, but
which seems to have survived the
testers ridicule. 1t is that custom
of stopping friends in the street, to
whom we have nothing whatever to
communicate, but whom We embar-
rass for no other purpose than sim
ply to show our friendship. Jones
meets his friend Smith, whom he
has met in the same locality but a
few hours before. During that in
terval, it is highly probable that no
event of any Importance to Smith,
nor indeed to Jones, which, by a
friendly construction, Jones could
imagine Smith to be interested i'll,
has occurred, or is likely to occur.
Yet both gentlemen stop and shake
hands earnestly. 'Well, how goes
it?" remarks Smith, with vague
hope that something may have hap
pencd. $50, So" replies the elo-
quent Jones, feeling intuitively the
deep vacuity of his friend answer
ing to his own. A pause ensues in
which both gentlemen regard each
other with an imbecile smile and 4
fcrvent pressure of the hand. Smith
draws a long breath and looks down
the street; Jones sighs heavily and
caZes down the street. Another
pause, in which both gentlemen dis
engage their respective hands and
glance anxiously around for some
conventional avenue of escape. FL
nally Smith with sudden assump-
ton of having forgotten an impor-
tant engagement calculates, "Well,
| must be of" a remark instantly
echoed by the voluble Jones, and
these gentlemen separate, only to
repeat their miserable formula next
day. In the above example l have
compassionately shortened the usu-
al lcave-taking, which, in skilIful
hands, may be protracted to length
which l shudder to recall. / have
