Cigars and Temperance.

Two hundred and fifty million dollars
are annually expended for cigars in the
United Siates, and no. $500, 900 to pro
mote the cause of temperance. Millions
Cor hurtful and sinful indulgence and
barely thousand to save the souls and
bodies of the victims OF the RUN traffic.
The larger sum hurts many J the smaller
though inadequate for the work, harms
no one and saves some. The one appeals
to appetite, the other to reason and duty.
The relative sums expended, e0en by
Christmas, show which appeal is the
stronger Is it not sad commentary
upon the character Of a Christian people
that they spend more for . useless, hurt
full sinful indulgence than for both tenn
perance and Christianity combined

Township system.

10 the Editor Of the State Journal
Your correspondent, jefferson. ,,
touches upon a subject which am old
fashioned enough to consider the yery
foundation of free government-the town.

That the Conservative party should be
so bitterly opposed to it, as a substitute
for the old magisterial districts fof which
the bill passed during the last session of
the Legislature showed them to be SO en-
amored that they proposed to adopt the
name, II they Were debarred by the con-
stltutlon from reviving the system,) is sur
prislng, when it is considered that thew
profess such reverence for what is old, and
such detestation for what iSsnew.
Now the township system, which Jeffer-
son advocated so forcibly, is, in fact, and
almost in form, identical with the town
ship system which has existed in England
since magma charta, and which is so zeal
ously guarded that a proposition recently
submitted by the ministry to assume for
the general government some of the pow
ers SO long exercised by the local authori-
ties. has evoked strong opposition, and
meeting OF town clerks was held in London
to secure united action on the part of local
governmental bodies against any attempt to
interfere with the ancient and highly priced
right to manage their own affairs, both as
to taxation and expenditure of local funds
for local purposes. ~
Townships in England are generally
small in many counties not equal in area
TO SIX miles square, as suggested by JEFF
ferson. This limited area has two prime
advantages; first, it enables every tax
payer to be present at all meetings with
out personal inconvenience, and by his vote
and counsel give to local affairs the direc-
ton he deems for his interest and second,
limited area of official duty enables the
local officers to transact township business,
rs incidental to the management of their
own affairs and many such officers re-
ceiye no salary, performing their official
duties as contributions to the general good
during their year of service, while few
salarled officers receive compensation grad
lsted according to the labor performed.
Increase the size of the township. as it
seems, IS proposed in Fairfax, and every |
township officer must, if efficient and con-
'cientious, travel long distances at the cost
of neglectlng his home avocation and heavy |
expenses for maintenance of himself and |
horse. H
Then in small townships every taxpayer
knows what should be done and how done |
most cheaply and he watches every ex- |
penditure as if it was being taking from
MS own pocket. This he cannot do if areas
are increased as to embrace localities even
ten miles ssunder. ~.

SELF-HELP.-People who have been
bolstered up all their lives are seldom good
for anything in crisis. When misfortune
comes they look around for somebody to
cling to or lean upon. IF the prop is not
there, down they go. Once down they are
helpless as capsized turtle, and thew
cannot find their feet again without assis.

men who havefought their way to position.
making difficulties their stepping-stones
and deriving determination from defeat,
than vines resemble oaks, or sputtering
rush-lights the stars of heaven. Efforts
persisted in to achievements train a man to
self-relance, and when he has proven to
the world that he can, trust himself the
world will trust him. One of the best
lessons father can give his son is this
work !; strengthen your moral and mental
faculties as you would strengthen your
muscles, by vigorous exercise. Learn to
conquer circumstances you are then indie
pendent of fortune. The men of athletic
minds, who left their mark on the wears in
which they lived, were all trained in a
rough school. They did not mount to
their high position by the help of leverage
they leaped the chasm, grappled with the
opposing rocks, avoided avalanches. and
when the goal was reached, felt that but
for the toll that strengthened them as they
stroye it could never have been obtained.

Attack ON a Pack Train-Audacity of
The MOdOcs.


Attack ON Pack Train-Audacity OF
the MOdOcs.
SAN FRANCISCO, April ga dis
patch from the lava beds, Sunday, says a
pack train with twenty-one men as an es-
cort was attacked at the head of Long
Cave, while coming from Colonel Mason's
camp. The men sheltered themselves be-
hind rocks. One man was killed and an
other wounded. The train was fired into
upon entering the lava beds, and again
when it returned. The Modocs crept to
within 800 rods and fired at the pckets,
and also sent volley through the camp.
Major Thomas sent shell among them,
when they dispersed. There were eleven
Indians in the attacking party.
The Warm Spring Indians will start to
hunt the Modocs, but they are scattered in
small parties. The roads to Yreka are not
safe, and the country is in great ferment.
Scar-faced Charley was not killed.
1t is thought that small party of Mo-
docs raid around the country to secure
good horses. while sufficient number re-
main in the lava beds to keep the troops
employed. The cavalry has returned
without finding any trail. Colonel Perry
travelled eighty miles, making the round
of the lava beds.

of salaries is q subject fully within the con-
troll of the people Of each township. When
they are more familiar with the system, it
will be found that except peace officers,
and tax assessors and collectors, salaries
need not be paid; and when Virginia is
prosperous, as we are sure she will be;
when politics are made the subsidiary
instead of the leading subjects of agitation,
the tax officers duties will be nominal.

MISS EMILY FAITHFUL S avs that the
great English matchmaker, Bennett. of
Cheapside Gate sheriff of London), has for
years urged on public platforms the en-
ployment of women as watchmakers, but
he has never yentured to take a practical
step toward breaking down the barriers
which exclude his countrywomen from this
desirable occupation. Year after year he
has sent thousands of pounds to Switzer-
land for work which he might have obtain
ed from suffering Englishwomen, had he
cared to put his convictions to the test. In
the course of Miss Faithfull's inquiries
respecting American industries, she has
therefore been peculiarly interested in
the development of the matchmaking trade
IN its relation to women, and speaks in the
highest terms of the way in which the
National Watch Company Factory at Elgin
is conducted. Three hundred women and
girls are employed in it, tending the ma
chimes for cutting pinions, screws and
wheels, making hair springs, setting Jewels,
&C., &c. A well-known supporter of wo-
mems rights told her not long since that
she bought watch at Geneva four years
before her little girl was old enough to
wear it, because she ''thought the oppor-
tunity too good to be lost" Miss Faithful
thinks that American ladies' should not
lose the opportunity of giving a national
product well-deserved support, especially
as the LADY Elgln Watches'' are such
charming and perfect little timekeepers,-l
