Is prohibi,,on F.iIurer

Viheland, New Jersey, is one of the
best illustrations, upon moderate
scale, of the practical workings of
prohibition. In his last annual report
the constable aud overseer of the poor
of Vineland, Mr.. J. j. Curtis (the two
offices filed by one person., gives tes-
timouy, the Significance. of which is
obvious in its bearing against the IL
quor traffic. Mr. Curtis says:
Though we have a population of
10000 people, for the period of six
months no settler or citizen of Vine
land has received relief at my hands as
overseer of the poor. Within seventy
days, there has been only one case,
among what we call the floating popu-
lation, at the expense of 81.
During the entire year there has
only been one indictment, and that a
trifling case of battery among our col
ored population.
so few are the fires in Nineland
that we have no need of fire depart
ment. There has only been one house
burned in year. aud two slight fires
which were soon put out.
We practically have no debt, and
our taxes are only one per cent. on the
valuation. .......
Inc pOllce expenses OF Nlnelanu
amount to S75 year the sum paid to
me, and our poor expenses a mere
trifle.
! / ascribe this remarkable state of
things, so nearly approaching the Col
den Age, to the industry of our people
and the absence of King Alcohol.
Let me give you in contrast to this
the state of things in the town from
which l come in New England. The
population of the town was $500, a lit
tie less than Vineland. 1t maintained
forty liquor shops. These kept busy a
police judge, city marshal, assistant
marshal, four night-watchmen, and
six policemen. Fires were almost con-
tinual. That small place maintained
a pal fire department of four com~
panies, of forty men each, at an ex-
pense of 50 900 per annum. l belonged
to this department for six years, and
the fires averaged about one every two
weeks, and mostly incendiary. The
support of the poor cost $500 per an
mum. The debt of the township was
$4,000 The condition of things in
this New Englanf town is as favora-
BILE in that country as many other
places where liquor is sold. n-NatiOn-

Wheat remains inactive and but few deal

ly prime white in car load lots will bring
from 80 cents to $1.OO We quote small
lots from So cents to 90. Red is very dull
and low. But little corn changed hands
during the past week, but what was offered
was readily taken at our quotations. Oats
are dull, and as the most of the Southern
orders for seed have been filed we look
for decline during.the present week
Clover seed has made another slight sd-
vance and we now quote it from $500 to
8.50per bushel. Owing to the late cold
snspp, the Egg market has been very &C
tive, and shippers paid as high as % cents

HOME CIRCLE.
A CUP OF TEA.

Suggested by picture, by Mr. Perugini,
in Horper's Weekly February Goth, 1875 ]
Below they sit in the banquet hall,
Awhile, my heart, they have banished thee
Into crystal goblets rich and tall
The cellars choicest treasures fall;
Thou heart and me
Must sit alone and sip our ten.
But know Of one, whose eyes of blue,
Deeper by far than the sounding sea,
(IfI heard them Alright, and his eyes spake
:rue,)
Would give it all to be with you!
Dear heart and me
Slipping alone cup of tea.
That is his voice, know its tone,
And that is he song he taught to thee
How rich !, its tremulous baritone
Dear heart, answer it with thy own.
Tell him that we
Are slipping alone a cup Of tea.
Be still, my heart, we must not chide,
Ere long he will come to you and me.
The maid hath spoken-the door springs
wide
He clasps her trembling to his side.
But, alas for thee
Thou heart was upset with a cup of
tea
