IN GENERAL.

A prominent citizen Of Virginia offers the
State the sum Of s100, 600 annually for the ex-
elusive privilege of gathering oysters in Vir-
ginia Waters. The revenue heretofore de-
rived from this source is only $50, 900 annually
while the cost Of collecting is $50 900, leaving
the net revenue only 100000.
An ordinance was introduced in the CITY
Council Of St. Louis for thd repeal Of the So
cial Evil Ordinance. Il was rejected almost
unanimously.
Secretary Fish ia reported AZ saying that
tho Cuban revolutionists not having gained ANY
more ground than they possessed three years

The Postmaster General, Representative
Twitcholi, and the Postmaster at Boston. were
before the House Committee on Appropriations
last week. their object being to have the DOS
tai railroad car arrangement largely extended
aud improved, owing to the Increased necessi-
ties of the service. The Postmaster General
was also in consultation with tho committee
ON the subject of an appropriation az a def
cioncy for the transportation OF free mail mat
ter, the law making permanent appropriation
for that purpose having been repealed.
In a recent letter from Secretary Fish Gen.
Sckles is instructed in decisive but respectful
terms, TO remonstrate against the apparent
failure of Spain to carry into effect the eman-
cipation act to which she ia committed. If
Spain permits her authority to be effectually
and practically dafed in Cuba by refusal or
neglect to carry into effect the views Of the
homo Government, OF humane tendency, il
~ tantamount 70 an acknowledgement Of ina
hility to control tho insurrection in Cuba.
Fish says it has now lasted four years and the
attempts to suppress it are 40 far futile. I'm

WEARING A NEW BooT.-The Dan
bury News says: at is little singular
how we'll a pair of boots can be made to
fit at the store. You may be able to get
your foot only part way down the leg
at the first trial, but that is because your
stocking is sweaty, or you haven t started
right, and tie shoe maker suggests that
you start again and stand up in it, and
he throws in a little powder from pep

up, and pound down your foot, and partly
trip yourself up, and your eyes stick out
in an unpleasant manner, and every vein
in your body appears to be on the point

You may suggest to him that your toe
presses too hard against the front, or
that como Of the boues in the side of the
foot are too much smashed but he says
this is always tho way with new boot,
and that the trouble will entirely disap.
pear in a few days. Then you take the
old pair under your arm aud start for
home as animated as relic of 1912, all
the while feeling that the world will not
look bright and happy to you again until
you have Drained that shoemaker. You
limp down town the next day, aud smile
all the while with your mouth, while
your eyes look as it you were walking
over an oyster bed barefoot. When no
one is looking, you kick against u post
or some obstruction, and show a foudncss
for stopping and resting against some.

In Maine--Decreasc in
g,.f Crimes. s
From the Lewiston Ne. Journal.

We sometimes llear it said that
there is more liquor drank no ' In
Maine, under prohibition, than there
was forty years ago under license.
But,ev candid man knows bct-
ter. Indeed, . comparison Of Msine
today with license States shows
that there are NOT one fourth as
many piaces in Maine whereintox-
icating liquors are sold asa bev-
erage there are in license States.
and not one-eighth as much liquor
sold per inhabitant The last re-
port Of the Attorney-(seneral ct
Maine shows ninety per cent. OF
our criminals are nade by the
liquor traffic, and gives us some
Interesting statistics otthe decrease
of crime IN this State growing out
of prohibition and its enforcement.
During the year 1866 tho prison,
Jail, and reform. school received
a04 criminals. The number sem
fenced in 1867 was 157; in 1867,
LA in 1869 1853; In 1917 lou III
1871, l52, ana in 1872 only 100.
Estimating the averageof commit :
ments for the seven years under
review We find it l52. This result
indicates the, remarkable fact that
the crime during the last year
(l872, in which the reform move
ment has gone hand in hand with
prohibi ion) is thirty-three per
cent. less than the average or the
last seven years It should be
noticed, recover, that the num-
Der convicted and sentenced last
year is fifty per cent. less than 10
1866, land thirty-three, per cent.
less than in 1871. OF course no one
will clain that our prohiLito,v laws
