How THE GREAT TRIBUNE BLUSDERs-The
New York Tribune makes but one objection
to the newspaper postage bill, and that is
that editors will have to prepay postage on
papers already paid for for twelve months.
The reader will be surprised to learn that
the provision of the law requiring postage
to be paid at the mailing Office does not go
into effect until the LIST day Of July, 1875.
So the Tribune speaks in ignorance of the
provisions of the bill, and its objection
amounts to nothing at all.

ABsINTHE.-The Swiss Times gives the
flowing account of absinthe and its his
tory:
In the Canton of Neuchatel, in the long,
broad, wild Val de Travers, famous for its
asphalt mines, is the seat of the manufac-
ture of absinthe. The manufacture of this
pernicious drink dates back to the last
decades Of the eighteenth century. A
French exile and doctor is credited with
the first invention of absinthe, which he
employed as a medicine, and at his death,
left his receipt to his servant girl Mile
Grandpierre. She sold it to the daughters
of Lieutenant Henriod, who at the begin
ming of this century, sold it to NJ. Pernod
of Couvet, and from that period the "Ex-
trait d'Absinthe appears in commerce.
The quantity of absinthe manufactured at
the present day is estimated at about &c.,
900 litres. The herb (Artemsia absin-
thium) of which the absinthe is first pre-
pared, is plant growing to height of
from two to four feet. 1t is found through
out Central Europe ON stony hills and also
in gardens. Consumers of absinthe are
found principally in France, England,
North America and Switzerland, and are
numerous, although the hurtful effect Ct
the liquor on the nervous system has been
repeatedly pointed out by medical men.

LAYING OF A CORNER STONE,

On last Sunday, August 30th, tie corner
stone of St. Rese-the new Catholic Church
at Chesapeake City-was laid by Rt. Rev.
Bishop Becker, of this Diocese, and there
were probably 500 persons on the ground.
Rev. William ballard, of Elkton, and Rev.
George Villiger, S. j., of Bohemia Manor,
assisted the Bishop during the ceremonies,
which seemed to be very interesting, if one
could judge from the eagerness of the peo-
pie to see all that could be seen.
The blessing of the stone occupied but a
short time, after which the Bishop gave a
brief account of the meaning of the cere-
mony, and proceeded to sprinkle the foun-
dations in company of the Rev. gentlemen.
The Bishop afterwards delivered an ad-
dress, based on the words of Christ to His
Apostles, in Matt. xviii; 1890" Go, ye,
therefore, and teach all nations, &c.
Teaching them to observe all things what
soever have commanded you: and, behold,
1 am with you all days, even to the con-
summation Of the world" From these
words he argued the authority of the teach
ing body of the Church, for if the Apostles,
world, were strictly bound to teach by their
preaching, then it follows, as a logical
necessity, that the people are bound to
hear, or listen.
The Bishop spoke also of the temporal
advantages which would accrue to the place
from the building of Catholic Church.
around which, very naturally, many would
gather. After addressing the multitude
also in German, the blessings were invoked
and the ceremony was ended 1t is thought
that this handsome little Gothic Church
may be finished for use this Autumn, under
the active management of the Building
Committee.

THE DESTRUCTION OF LIFE BY WAR;
Another source of pecuniary loss is found
in the aoaste Of life By ,oar. 1t takes men
at the very age when their labor would be
most productive, and shortens their lives
more than twenty years in war and some
ten or fifteen in peace. The statistics of
mortality among men devoted to this work
of blood, are truly startling. Soldiers,
though generally young and vigorous, live
on an average only about three years in
war, and die even in peace twice as fast as
galley slaves, and more rapidly than men
ordinarily do at fifty and sixty.
What loss of property is here. Let US
suppose it costs on an average $500 to
raise soldier, and reckon his labor for say
ten years OF his life shortened by war at
$50 year. The standing armies of Eu-
rope number about 100000 of men, SO
that she sustains at this rate loss of ST.
500, 000,0 for their training, $3.50, 600, 900
a gear for labor, or $1,000, ZOO, 900 in ten
years, and the same amount for shortening
their lives ten years, making ST., 500, 000,-
600, Or 81, $50, 900, 900 yearly, even in time
of peace.

MIR. EDIroR:-Allow me through your
valuable paper, to call the attention of all
who are opposed to the present license law
and favor Local Option, without reference
to party or sect, to the meeting called to
meet in Elkton, on Thursday, the 10th inst.
This liquor traffic is an evil we all CON-
plain of and feel, from the ireside to the
tax-gatherer.
Other counties of our State, by the action
of their citizens, have rid themselves of it.
The question now to be settled is, will the
people of Cecil county do likewise? Will
we continue to submit to all the evils we
have endured like slaves to abominable old
customs? or will we like freemen continue
to resist this evil until it is abolished from
our land? 1t is to be hoped there will be
hundreds of good and true men present on
the occasion. ANTI.

neutrality-suspicious. o'clock on Monday
morning last Mr.. William Boyd, living on
the Newark road, few hundred yards
below Bell Hill, was awakened by some
one calling in loud voice. On going to a
window looking toward the railroad, he
found the person calling was in the field
opposite, and going toward the railroad.
The words he used at the top of his voice
were, "Wake up!' Between his calls,
Mr. Boyd thought he heard the cry of an
infant. Calling his wife, they listened
eagerly and soon became satisfied that they
could hear child crying somewhere in the
direction where he had first heard the call
ing. In the meantime, he had seen the
figure of the man on the railroad, where
he had twice stopped and repeated his
calling-the last time adding the words
-" Look out of your window" Mr. Boyd
then called Mr.. John Cleaves, who lives in
an adjoining portion of the house, and the
two repaired to the field from which the
crying had proceeded, where, after short
search, they found male child, apparently
four or five days old. 1t was dressed in
white flannelgown, and wrapped in some old
material. and laid on the ground. In the
field and very near by were number of
horses. The child was taken care of by
Mrs. Boyd, and is still in the family.
The little stranger and his mysterious
advent created quite an excitement in the
neighborhood, as we'll as being the subject
for large amount of speculation in town.
During the week large number of per-
sons have called to see the baby. The air
is filled with rumors in relation to the mat
ter, and it may be some effort will be made
to find out the wretch who deposited the
child in osition where the chances were
that it would perish or be trampled to
death before it was discovered.
