For the past three weeks q man has

REFORM MEASURES.-In an

OF measures passed by the House
OF Representatives which retutes
the charges of dilatoriuess and

have the concurrence of the Sen

The Second Crusade

Some time ago a lot OF mistaken
but enthusiastic zealOts under
took by means Of prayer and ex-
hnrtatiOnS to so exercise the
whisky tiend that no more be
heard in the lard. The movement
was dubbed the whisky crusade
and soon assumed proportional
which attracked widespread al
tentloil, but like all sensational
efforts soon wore itself out, aud
the vendor of red eye pursued
his vocation in peace. Now Il
crusade OF very different nature
and striking at higher game is
inangurateu ; the first WAS
against those retailers whose bn
siness and it's effects shocked the
moral sence of communities ; the
present is against those manutac
turerS whose crOOkednpSS affects
the revenues of the country.
We are inclind to think that
the influence of grand juries, in
dictments and courts of Justice
will prove more potent over deal
ers in the ardent than any amount
OF extempore prayer however
powerful. Already frauds OF enor
mons magnitude have been dis
covered in st. Louisiana Babcock,
the man whom the President most
delighted TO honOr,s'and> charged
with having aided the robbers of
tho revenue. Many high govern
ment officials are accused of com-
plicity, and some convicted. This
is but the beginning Of the inves
tlSation. Other points are expect.
ed to pan out as richly, and ru-
MOI has i that New Orleaus will
be- the next field of operation.
Already proceedings have been
commenced against some Of the
most prominent OF those in the
wh:ske.y business.
The nigh tax on whiskey holds
ont hopes of large gains to those
who succeed in rvading the law
ami few seem TO have the strength
to resist the temptation. Further
developments will doubtless prove
interesting and we shall keep our
readers posted.

= n merchant vessel recently
arrived at Marseilles, laden with
sugar from Batavia, While in the
act Of unloaGen, the workmen
suddenly lett their task, and rush
ing up to the deck, gasped out
some inarticulate words. Among
the hampers they had found
three immence boa constructors.
These reptiles seemed to wake
from state of lethargy, and adj
vanced toward the terrified men,
who had only just time to hoist
themselves on deck and close the
matches. The captain Was of
course obliged to suspend the
operation of unloading, and to
look for the means 1T getting rid
of these strange passengers. Two
pigeons were poisoned with
s%trycllnine and dropped in the
hold. They were devoured at once,
but only two of the serpents died.
The third reptile has not been
seen again, and it is with the
greatest trouble that the Captain
can get men to assist him in un-
loading the ship.
