terry Navy Yard an expensive stick of
tlmoer that had been condemned after the
contractors had been paid twice what it
would have cost elsewhere, was to be cut
INTO tirewood. A gang Of twelve men
went at it and actually sawed it into five

Their pay during the time engaged
amounted to over 500 Estimated value
of firewood, 81 10. Some time since a
gang of man We're set to unload wood

for their labor was over $18 for each cord

The Portland papers state chat the pro-
prietors OF the Preble House blocked the
game of some striking walters by having
colored ones from Boston in readiness, so
that when the strike was proclaimed, the
others took their places, and business pro
ceeded without interruption. The strikers
were as much surprised as some of their
brethren at the Delavan House, in Albany.
some years ago. The proprietors became
aware of an intention 10 strike on the part
of the dining hall attendants, who were
all white men. They didn't rally the
colored troops, but hired sufficient num-
Der of good looking girls, and had them
trained as walters in a hall in another
part of the city. Dresses were prepared
for them, with short sleeves, high necked,
and with a knot of ribbon at the throat.
When the conspiring waters marched out
Of the hall, these girls marched in, and
the meals proceeded without interruption.
We happened to be stopping at the house
on the day of the strike, and our decided
opinion is that the change was good one.
The guests seemed to like it. So the
Albany expedient was like that OF the
Preble House. only with "a little varia-

The particulars which we publish of the
terrible Atlantic disaster will be read with
interest. The great weight of blame
must fall upon the shoulders of the inoom-
petent commander, who did not know the
position OF his ship, and went to sleep,
leaving her to be driven at full speed,
with her freight of human lives, upon the
iron-bound coast of Nova Scotia. The
ship was good one and we'll provided,
the night clear and star-lit, and there can
be no valid excuse for the disaster. That
captain. by his fatal nap, has murdered
sleep more effectually than did Macbeth,
and is likely to keep awake the rest of his
life

The Machias Republican thinks it in
congruous that the obituary of worthy
man, published in these columns, should
end with the assertion that "He was life
long Democrat, and had taken the Re.
publican Journal forty-two years" Not
at all. The bond Of sympathy that exists
between the editor of paper and his
readers is very strong, and when an old
patron goes to the undiscovered country.
it is proper that the facts be mentioned.
None but worthy citizen ever took a
paper fer forty-two years.

License vs.. Prohibition.

Inc hockland Gazette is unh Apply be-
cause we recently said a few words in favor
of the Illinois liquor law, which it desig-
mates as ga cowardly and unjust law
The Gazette talks very fuently about prin-
ciples, &c. but says nothing about til e
practical workings of the respective laws
of license and prohibition A prohibitory
law has been upon the statute book of
Maine for quarter of a century, and as
an agent for the suppression of the sale of
intoxicating drinks has proved a total
failure. There are thirty places in Bel
fast to-day where liquor may be bought,
We think, from report, that there are
quite as many in Rockland Principle in
this matter is unsupported theory-prac-
tice is the true test; and by this standard
prohibition is total failure Many who
in their earlier experiences were confident
Of forcing the appetites of men to succumb
to law, have totally reversed their belief,
and renounced prohibition Ex-Gov. John
H. Clifford is Il prominent example of this
class. He recently testified before a COM
mittee of the Massachusetts legislature in
regard to prohibition, as follows
If did believe it possible, should say God
speed the work. III believed it would improve
the morals OF Massachusetts; if it would serve
as shield to my boys, who are growing up,
from the possible temptations which they may
meet, would certainly find myself in the ranks
of w m to tic oA1 a;o
execution. But I am very we'll persuaded that
it is only step in the wrong direction, And
from the fact, as ! believe. that it tends to in
crease the evils of intemperence, think it will
have tendency to destroy very much of what
manliness there is among US, by the attempts
to execute it.
ExGov. Emory Washburn testified at
the same time that he was an early and
earnest advocate of prohibition, but had
seen that he was wrong He said
| admit, Mr.. Chairman, and beg, in Justice
to my own consistency, to say that | do con-
slider the selling of liquor under licenses to be
a moral evil. and one which | would gladly
avoid if possible. But Of ttq0 eUi2S lo0uid
choose the less; and Ibeliere it eoould be a
Tess epH 70 carry on this sale under proper
restrictions than to carry ont the eristing
system 0flegislation.
1neSe views were sustained by tne teS-
timony Of more than hundred of the
most exalted and respected citizens of the
state. We oppose their experience and
firm convictions to the theories of the
Gazette, and point to the state OF things
in Maine to-day, flowing as the state does
with unlicensed rum, in support of our
position. The prohibitory scheme of Maine
is only hypocritical machine, run in the
personal interests of certain politicians.
The Illinois law would break up their
plans and turn them adritt to earn their
living. That's what's the trouble with
them when change of policy is talked
about.

base the science by falsely holding ou:
themselves to the world as doctors of
medicine, and also to protect the society
against the impositiOns of those charlatans
whose criminal conduct as practitioners has
already caused SO many tears to be shed IN
80 many families. The section 26Sl must be
construed in sense leading to a reasonable
conclusion rather than an unreasonable one.
If, consequently. that section 26ol dispenses
from the formalities required by section
2677 the persons who have been practicfn z
medicine for the space Of ten years in this
State without diplomas, on the presumption
arising from their practicing during that
long period that they are sufficiently learned
and qualified. q tOrtiOri, does that section
give the same advantage, the same privilege
to the physicians who have been practicing g
medicine in this State, like the plaintiff
herein, for the space OF over thirty years
with diploma! Were it otherwise. were
the section 2617 to be interpreted as apply
ing only and exclusively to the persons who
have been practicing for the space of ten
years without diplomas, and not to the per
sons who have been practicing tor the same
space of time with diplomas in this State,
and because of their having diplomas, such
narrow Interpretation would certainly
lead TO an absurdity: it would not only
countenance and encourage the ignorant
man to the prejudice of the man OF learn
ing, but it would also endanger the security
Of the families.
The letter of the law. although unamtig-
uous, may be disregarded with the honest
intention of seeking the spirit. and when
leading to an absurd conclusion it must be
rejected for one that is reasonao ole."- l..

The persons not allowed to practice medi.
cine in this State without first making atii-
davits of their having received the degree
of doctor of medicine, are the physicians
who lad been practicing medicine for a
space of less than ten years at the time
when the act of March, 1870, was enacted;

in said act does apply to the persons who
