ganization grew the numerous temper
| ance societies which still exist, the Wash
ingtonlan movement soon spending its
force and passing away, The "Sons OF
Temperance" "Reehabites," Good Temp
lars" and ether kindred societies were
founded at this time, and after greater or
less prosperity have for the most part
ceased to be Of any practical direct eff
cheney. The membership of these socie-
ties was largest from 1874 to 1852, and it
was to be the compact manner in which
their secret organizations enabled them to
cast large number OF votes that the tenn
pearnce legislation of that period is to be
largely attributed.
Legislative committees in q number of
The States had reported in favor of pro-
hibitory legislation as early as 1886, but
it was not till 1851 that the Maine Legis-
lature passed the maine law" One
State after another has passed similar
laws, until twelve, including the New
England States, New York, Delaware and
Pennsylvania, and Indiana, Minnesota
and Iowa have had at one time or another
such laws on the statute books. ALI but
three of these States have repealed them,
however. Ohio and Michigan, which en-
grated q prohibition clause on their State
constitutions, are still in theory total ab.
stainers
The political agitation which began in
1855 and eliminated in the war, has up
to this time checked the temperance re-
form, and no progress appears TO have been
made in any direction for twenty years.
II is claimed by the older temperance
leaders that the attention it is attracting
at present Is a natural return of the peo-
pie to subject which engrossed the
thinking mind of the ration from 1910 10

TTioOlo Tommaseo.

NIcolo Tommaseo, whose death is an
nounced IN a telegram from Rome, was
one of the early champions Of Italian
freedom. Born in Dalmatia in 1903, he
was educated in Italy, and joined in
his youth the band of ardent and gifted
men who difused from Florence the
truths of freedom among their enslaved
countrymen. Forced by the Austrians
into exile, he went to France, returning
IN 1888, when a general amnesty was ac-
corded TO the refugees. The succeeding
nine years were devoted by Tommaseo to
literary work, the products of his pen be-
ing several books, displaying varied cul-
ture and unWearied researches. Respond
ing to the revolutionary fervor Of the Pc
Iiod, Tommaseo entered heartily into the
struggle for freedom wsged with Austria
in 1878, and as a member of the Pro-
visional Government, labored earnestly
and devotedly 10 maintain the yeung
Republic Of Venice. Twice he visited
France, seeking aid, and although he
failed to secure the needed succor, and had
become unpopular at home, he was still
hateful to the AustTians who included
him among the 40 patriots condemned to
exile. He found refuge in Corfu, and
there resumed his literary labors. In
1865 he returned to Florence, and al
though stricken with blindness, he sought
to give his country standard dictionary
ofits language.

BATHURST, NEW BRUNSWICK, April 80
-Gallien. who murdered Poulin In Caro-
quet, has made q confession. He says he
was incited to the act by Pouln's wife
who importuned him TO kill her husband
that they might consumate their "hasoR"
by marriage.
/ The night before the murder, she sharp
ened q knife and gave it to him, telling
him 10 be on the lookout for her husband
when he went to the woods for rails the
next day. He promised to do 80 and Sc
creted the knife on his person. When be
met Poulin in the woods next day, be said
"Poulin, am going to kill you" HIS
victim, on bended knees, implored him for
time to confess his sins TO the priest, when
be would be willing to be killed pt any
time, or would leave the country. While
Poulin was in this suppliant attitude. the
prisoner struck him on his head with a
stick stunning him, ard finished his bloody
work with an axe.
Poulin's daughter testified on the in
quest that her mother went to Gallien' e
bed one night, and told him her husband
was asleep IN the next room, and there
would be good chance to klll him, but
that she awakened ami warned her father
and prevented the carrying out of the
design.

THE New York Times, the rampant
organ Of the Administration, would like
to rally to the support of the Washington
Ring, but it can't do it. This is the best
that it can do.
The investigation into the improve
menls carried out at Washington does not
prove anything against Mr.. Henry Cooke,
in our opinion, but it shows that under
his successor there has been q great deal
Of robbery going on in reference to con-
tracts. In these days, wherever large
contracts are to be given out, there seems
to be more or less of fraud as an jneVita-
bic part of the transa@sion. 1t is unfortu-
nate for the Administration that q news
paper proprietor who boasts of 'confden-
tlal relations with the White House should
have been a conspicuous party to some of
the worst of these frauds. We cannot see
in what way Murtagh's contract business
differed from simple swindiing. 1t is 80
regarded everywhere, and We should think
that the Committee in its report cannot
afford to overlook the fact"

The Late LerisIaturs.

a few Democratic papers, following In
the wake of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Commercial. and the Republican press
generally of the State, have seemed to
take delight in attacking the session Of
the Legislature just closed. While We
do not claim that during the past session
all was accomplished that should have
been, or erything that was done was
done as well as II might have oeea, vet
the Legislature does not deserve this
treatment at the hands of its friends The
amount of money called for, as contained
in the General Appropriation Bill. is
three hundred and ninety thousand dol
lars less than for last year, and this re-
ducllon justified a reduclio in the State
levy for 1874 Of four hundred aHd seventy
thousand dollars. If the Legislature had
done nothing more than TO make 90 large
a reduction in the appropriations for
State purposes it would deserve the graf
ltude Of the people of the State, but they
accomplished much in addition to thia.
They passed new and stringent laws for
the government of the Penal and Benev0-
lent Institutions of the State, and placed
them In the hands of the Democrats. The
session was the shortest one held in years,
and never was there a more earnest de-
sire displayed to legisiate in the interest
Of the people than was shown by the large
majority Of the Democratic members. We
do not claim infallibility for our Demo
cratic friends, but We con fearlessly chal-
lenge 8 comparison with the Republican
Legislatures Of the past. They-denon-
strated the fact, during the past session,
t?at the Democratic party is, as it claims
to be, the party Of economy and the friend
OF The people, and upon the record, made
during the fifteen weeks of the session, We
are wiling to go before the people.

Bohemian Glass

Everybody knows the history Of Bohe-
mian glass. Bohemia, in the fifteenth
century began to rival, and in the six
teenth and seventeenth, TO surpass Venice
in the art In her vast forests she found
inexhaustless stores of fuel and potash and
in her rocks quartz and lime. But when
at the beginning of the eighteenth century
English manufacturers discovered that au
OXIDE of lead as an ingredient produced
flint glass, the Bohemians, finding their
craft IN danger, introduced colored, FROST
ed and ornamental glass, which has since
been kept up. Their works, owing to the
cheapness Of fuel and labor, have been in
Tyrol. but the Bohemian glass still main
tains its superior reputation for elegance
and trade.

1t is related that two girls in the royal
tobacco factory at Madrid recently killed
each other in a hand to-hand contest. The
mode adopted by the combatants was as
romantic as il was barbarous. The an
tagonists, who Were both about twenty
years old and remarkably handsome. re-
paired one Sunday morning, accompanied
by certain of their comrades, to village
some four or five miles distant. where
they breaklasted sumptuously at different
tables. The repast ended. they closed the
wiz dow curtains, stripped themselves to
the waist, and then requested their friends
to leave the room. Inen, at a given sig
nal, they attacked each other with their
navajas, and slashed and thrust until they
both fell to the floor II ortally wounded
When few minutes had elapsed, then
friends re-entered the room. Esiefania
one of the combatants, had received tel
wounds, from which she bled to death in
about half an hour. Casilda, her antagO-
mist, died somewhat sooner from a ghastlY
wound in her neck.

obtained to the pledge, amid the widest
enthusiasm in the audience, and matters
generally were carried on in an energetic
manner, which brooked no opposition and
little interference. The original eight
went from place to,place, and carried their
enthusiasm with them. They werh rough
and ignorant; they told stories from the
platform that were scarcely decent they
were rude and vulgar IN dress and action
