of impossible. romantic Young men OF Idaho
city lately made the same sort ul mistake
that hunters have been known to make ia

quartz-l.ad. lie had not been working in
it ior % long time. and it was supposed had
abandoned it. The young men did not know
ANYTHING about their ncighhor. and probably
cared les. Looking over towards bis own
tunnel in the hillside they saw a beautiful
vision which stirred the romantic natures to
the verv depths. II was young girl. ap-

when taking his first shot. 1t would he the
biggest kind of thing in the mines if they
could catch a wild girl, and capture her

time and place came near when they could
creep concealed no longer. She was there

While is conceded by the peuIle Of the State that
prohibition has become the settled policy of legsla
ton, and that the dram shop has been outlawed and
while the advocates of prohibition have and do still
ntrol the executive offices OF State and county, it
must be- admitten that in many localities intemper-
ance with its attendant train of crimes Is rapidly
the increase. The public sentiment, which through
the elective franchise, enacted line prohbitory laws
and In almost every municipality dictates the execu-
tive officers would seem to be sufficiently potent U

But in many instances, aud with many oicers, tns
does not seem sufficient and they use the iiiogirai
plea that 'pnbic sentiment, although expressed IN
the choice, will not sustain them in the periorman

stead of executors of the duty Is neglected. obi-
cation to society dsregarled and the dramshOp-the

still allowed to do its evil work.
For the purpose of considering these facts. and for

adopted to secure a constant expression OF public
sentiment upon this vital question: the Temperance

Journals are quite generally discussing
the question of taxing church property.
The Congregationalist of this week opens
very considerate and intelligent review of the
subject in a similar spirit. While admitting
that libraries, colleges, charities, and churches
especially, may make out strong case OF de-
serving exemption, it is seriously doubted
whether natural justice will allow any such
discrimination. ''We look soon to see the

and colleges. and all kindred corporations,
will be found welcoming the more equal dis
tribution of the common load by adjusting it
to their shoulders as well as to those of others,

such a change; because it will bring things
more nearly into their absolutely just rela-

circumstances, be best for all concerned"

ANCIENT LIQUOR LAw.-Samuel Milliken
ESQ.,, of Scarboro' finds the following temper
ance law passed at a court held in the Province
of Maine at Saco March 25th 1886:
It is ordered that any man that doth sell
Strong liquor or wyne Shall Suffer his neigh
Dor, laborer or Servant to continue drinking in
the house except men invited or laborers upon
the working day for one hover at diner or
Stranger, or lodger there, the said offense being
scene by one justice Of the peace within his
limits, or constable, or proved by tew witnesses
before a justice Of the peace, such seller of
strong liquor or wyne shall forfeit for every
such offense tenne shillings ~
Our correspondent thinks that the intent of
the law may have been good, but the zone
hover at diner" is 'loophole" that modern
dealers would go through.
