DETERMINED AcrIoN-In Mount Vernon,
Illinois, Mrs Wilson, accompanied by her
Fister>in- law, Mrs. Watson, went to a drug
store the other day and demanded the pre-
scriptions upon which, in consequence of a
prohibitory Law, her husbund had been in the
habit of obtaining liquor. The clerk refused
to give i; mp, but advised her to 20 to the
doctor who issued it aud have him revoke 1t.
Mrs Wilson then told him that if he did no.
give up the prescription she would blow his
brains out, at the same time presenting pistol
at his head. After considerable expostula-
ton Mrs. Wilson was induced to call upon
fhe doctor, where, with pistol drawn, she
made him stand and deliver in true high
wayman's style. With the revocation of the
prescription in hand, the two women trium
Thantly returned to the drug store. aud with
pistol presented. threatened those present with
summary vengeance if any more liquor was
sold to Mr. Wilson

THE SCHLESWIG QUESTION.

Sept. 26, pm.
LONDON The "Volksblat," an official journ-
al of Berlin, accuses the Danish agitatOrs with
intriguing for annexation of Schleswig to Den
mark, and declares that the North Schleswig
question should have long ago ceased to
exist.
Sept. 80.
It is stated that Russia and England advo-
cate recession of Schleswig to Denmark
provided that forts AIsen and Duppel are
demolished, and the place recognized as
neutral territory.
LoNDoN-A special despatch from Copenha-
gen to the Morning Post states that a rumour
oirculates in that capital to the effect that
Russia and England will jointly endeavour
to find basis acceptable to Prussia and Den
mark for the settlement Of the Sohleswrg
question.

MADRiD.-There are indications of dis
, 1874-10-17

on the next stage, at a time when we
could. afford it. supposing the establish
ment OF Poor and Work Houses should be
found to involve more outlay than the pre-
sent arrangement. "There are In this
community many things to achieve and to
remedy in the public affairs; but UNLESS
THE COUNCIL AND THE ADMINISTRATION 90
HAND IN HAND IN DOING WHAT IS REQUI-
SITE, NOTHING CAN BE DONE" Even
admitting the principle that it would
be desirable. that members took the initia-
tive and drew up drafts of reforms oftener
than they do, which can easily be admit
ted to be %expedient sometimes, it must
be acknowledged that there is no great
encouragement for them to do so, seeing
the reception proposals admitted to be
useful may receive at the hands of the
Presidency. Many drafts upon which
much time and work have been bestowed
are put in allegiance. Whether this
lukewarmness is on the side of the Supe-
rior Authority, the Chairman of the
Council or its Committees, its effect must
needs be discouraging to those who with
agood will have bestowed their time and en-
ergy on such work. We hope the Govern
ment will see the necessity of taking such
matters ia hand US the times will allow.
The great topic of the day was, however,
the Budget Committees proposal sub No.
l, for addressing the Government to lay
before the Council as soon as possible
Drafts OF Ordinances to remodel, reorgan-
ize and simplify ali branches of the Adj
ministration, as we'll as the system of tax
alton, in order to be able to reduce the
taxes. We are now told by his Excellen-
cy, the Vicegoyernor, that Drafts for re-
modelling the different branches of the
administration are already not only I'M
der consideration but are under prepare
ton by the Government, and will without
loss of time, in fact very shortly y, be sub
mitted to the Council but unfortunately,
His Excellency did not think there is
any extensive field for reducing the Adj
ministration expenses, nor that the taxes
could be reduced, which we, with several
members, cannot but regret but, as said
above, perhaps His ExcelIency has re-
served us an agreeable surprise in o not
too distant future, and ip that hope we
must live on so long. The Government
will be able to find some cheaper plan
out of the many that have been proposed
in the Council here, as we'll as in the
Press, not to mention the Committee of
