THE BLACK HuLs.-The latest reports re-

three dollars worth of gold during the expe-

The New YORK LIBERALS AND THE TEMPER
ANcE PARTY. republicans at Utica turned
the cold shoulder upon the temperance party,
and manifested their contempt for the liberals
from first to last Mr.. Pomeroy's allusion to
''poor old Greeley" was received with up
roarious laughter while III behalf of the Con-
vention in ignoring the temperance party
Senator Conkling begged the question. The
temperance men, in convention at the same
time and place, resolved substantially that as
the republicans did not appear to want them
they would fight their own battle in the COM
ing election. The liberals will doubtless
adopt the suggestion of Senator Fenton
and oust wherever they can a republi-
can from the Assembly. And so, while from
the temperance party and the liberals the
vote for Governor Dix may not be materially
affected, they may change very materially the
complexion of the Assembly.

NoN-INsURED CHICAGO. The warnings of
the Chicago papers have had no effect upon
the municipal government of that city. It
has been repeatedly urged to establish better
Fire Department and to take ordinary
measures to prevent other terrible conhagra-
tions, but nothing has been done. The result
is that yesterday the National Board of Fire
Underwriters issued circular advising all
insurance companies to cease writing policies
in Chicago. This course is necessary to the
safety of the companies, and Chicago has
herself only to blame. OF course the effect Of
this action will be disastrous but if the
injury to the business of the city teaches her
authorities common sense it will be an ulti-
mate benefit The business men Of Chicago
have shown great energy IN recovering from
the effects of two great fres but they cannot
expect prudent underwriters to take the risk
Of paying for third, against which no pre-
ca utlons are made.

ton akin to that of the sportsman who
having tiger by tho tnil, did not wish to
hold on and was afraid to let 60. There was
General Robinson, who would have been
slaughtered without mercy to crafty Alonzo,
only that the party dreaded the effect on the
soldier vote of his decapitated ghost hobbling
through the canvass. So, with all of Roscoe s
love for Alonzo, we do not see how he could
have helped him. And if this spoiled young
man will accept q bit of advice from US, we
will say, let him eschew pouting and grief.
If he has ambition, let him remember that
no party ever cheerfully followed knight
with rueful countenance. Let him 60 out
into the woods and catch fish, like the Col
lector, or go to the camp meeting and get re-
ligion, like the Naval Officer Let him i'm
itate the cheerfulness of which the
Honorable Major General Of Militia, Jimmy
Hustled, is chirping example, and which
makes him the JOY Of his friends, no matter
how dark and dreary the day. Let him con-
template the perpetual sprightliness of John
Cochrane, who, having supported and opposed
every party in existence, and having been
actually nominated for Vice President by the
Cleveland Convention, retains buoyancy of
spirit enough to keep ahoat the liberal repub-
than Alonzo B. Cornell, and his future may
be as prosperous as even Roscoe Conkling
could desire

A Ten Thousand Dollar Girl.


I must give you a story lately told
me which goes to show the value of the
girl of the period. On a certain day,
on Pennsylvania railroad, belle of a
thriving Pennsylvania town, the daugh-
ter of wealthy lumber merchant, was
travelling in the same car with a shrewd
old citizen Of her native town and an
agreeable young gentleman from the
West who tells the story. The latter
had been talking to the belle-(N. B.
She is now one of the corps of Wash.
ington correspondents and notorious
belle-ringer when not belle-hanger)-
but as night drew on and the young la
dy grew drowsy, he gave up his seat to
her and placed himself beside the some
what cynical Pennsylvania. The lat
ter began conversation by pointing to a
high mountain past which they were
whirling, aud said, "You see that noun
tain. Six or eight years ago it was COW
cred with as fine forest as ever grew,
and was worth $4,000 and upward
Now, without tree. covered with
stumps, the land is scarcely worth a
continental. The net produce of that
mountain lies over there in that seat"
and he pointed to the recumbent belle +;
"that is my calculation. 1t has Just
about absorbed all of that lumber which
her father owned to raise and educate
that girl,pay for her clothes and jewelry,
bring her out in society, and maintain
her there. Some of you young men
perhaps, if you were given your choice
between the mountain yonder as it now
stands and the net produce on that seat,
would take the net produce; but as for
me give me the stamps"

ED. SPIRIT: AS I see communications
from all parts of the county, in THE
SPIRIT, and very rarely any thing from
Ohio township, 1 thought I would write
few lines to let the balance of the
county know that we are still here.
The men occupied with the dairy
houses which dot the hills of our town
ship are preparing for a vigorous pros
ecutfon of their work and farmers are
actively engaged in planting and pre-
pairing the soil to receive the seed soon
to be sown, we hope to bring forth
abundant crops to fill our depleted
granarics.
The schools o: our townships, eight
in number, have all closed after twen-
ty-four weeks session in each sub.dis-
trict. So far as I can learn the schools
were conducted in a very satisfactory
manner to patrons generally. Our
Township Board of Education is, very
liberal in its appropriations thereby en-.
abling local directors to pay good sala-
ries and secure competent teachers.
The school in sub district No. 2 was
taught by D. W. Shields and Miss Lucy

the citizens of Baresville conducted q
very successful and interesting Literary
Society in Baresville this winter, result
ing in much good to the girls and boys
Of the school who took part in it's exer-
cises. Their recitations of both prose
and poetry are much more natural and
impressive by the discipline and friendly
criticism of the Society than could be
attained from the short time allotted to
reading and elecutionarY exercises in
our over crowded school rooms: ard

Where Is Scandinavia?

Scandinavia is not country to which
letter can be addressed it is only an
idea But in history the ideas are of two
kinds. The ex-King of Hanover may
truly speak of his kingdom as an idea. =
But Hanover is an idea that has been /;
Scandinavia is an idea that shall be The
one has died, the other is about to be
born and while no one cares about the
former, except the historian and of course
the ex-King, every man who wishes to
know little more of what's going on in
the world than what he can see from his
own window, may take an interest in the
latter
The Scandinavian idea means comhi
nation of the three northern countries
Sweden, Norway and Denmark, into one
country, Scandinavia. Itintends to make
the three different nations which inhabit
these countries, one people, and the three
different States which these nations have
established, one political body. IL as
pires to be the Inauguration of a new peo-
pie and the founder of new state 1t is
an idea Of great pretensions and golden
promises.-Galaryfor May

Questions About the License
Question.

&uCSthOhs
Mr. EDITOR: / avail myself of your
offer to give space for the discussion Of
the license question, for the purpose oi
putting two or three queries to those who
oppose license:
l. Can it be shown that the evils re.
sulting from the sale of liquor cannot be
as effectually restrained by well guard.
ed license as in any other way?
2 Has the experience of twenty years
in this State without license proven that
the evils can be controlled if the trafic
in liquors is not licensed?
3. Is the contest against license mere,
ly intended as stepping stone to total
prohibition
4. If total prohibition is the object, do
the anti-license men believe that this is a
question in which minority has right
to rule?
5. If majority should control this
question, have not the elections for some
years shown that the Prohibitionists are
but an Insignificant fraction of the vo.
ters, and are therefore not entitled to en-
force their views on the majority
l hope some abler pen than mine will
undertake 10 show what can be said on
The OTHER SIDE.
