TEMPERANCE EXPERIMENT.
The GoihenburE System TO be tried I'm
England.


An experiment is to be tried in BirmiDs-
ham, England, which will at once engage
the attention Of all persons interested in tenn
perance. The Council of that city, by a
vote of 40 to TO- have decided that it is desir.
able for the municipality to obtain the requi-
site power to acquire, on payment OF
fair compensation to be fixed by Parliament,
all existing interests in the retail sale of in
tOxicatipg drinks in the city, and thereafter,
if it sees fit, TO carry on the trade for the
convenience and on behalf of the inhabitants,
but so that no individual shall hsye any
pecuniary interest in, or derive any benefit
from tie sale" The experiment is substanti-
ally that which has been put in operation in
Guthenburg, Sweden, where the town con-
trolls tie sale of liquor. dictates where 1t shall
be sold, who shall sell it, and at what prices,
and thus beoome responsible for the condition
of the people so far AZ sobriety is concerned.
In Go'henburg it is claimed by the adVo-
Gates Of the system that it has worked we'll.
and it is stated that intemperance has been
materially reduced. This statement, how
ever, is decidedly converted by Official reports.
In letters of our Consul at Stockholm to the
State department numerous citations are made
fro,.l medical authorities in this very distr:c,
of Gothenburg, testifying TO the effects OF in
temperance as the cause Of pauperism. The
universal testimonial Is to the effect that in
temperance has steadily Increased, and that
the laboring classes devote a large part of
their wages to the purchase of intoxicating
drinks.
Since the passage OF the motion in Birming-
h.m numerous criticisms of the desirabiiity
and feasibility of the plan have been made,
the sblest, perhaps, by Mr.. Lowe, member of
parliament, in an article contributed TO the
January number of the fSrtHightly Rerie'o. lie
bases his objections TO the experiment, first.
upon the immense expense at which the e1'
pertinent is to be tried, amounting in the
case of Birmingham to nearly million
pounds sterling, necessary to compensate the
dealers whose licenses are TO be extenguished-
Second, upon the great danger of corruption
in the vast amount Of patronage which the
operation of the scheme would throw into
the hands of municipalities. upon which he
says very pertinentIy: The Birmingham
town Council are cntting out for themselves
an enormous amount OF patronage. As the
one publican of the town, they will have
some thousands of lucrative places to give
away. and to give away to persons who will
necessarily become their own constituents and
the electors Of the boroughs Are they quite
sure of their own virtue? And if long and
unvaried experience has made them secure
on that point, can they answer with equal
confidence for those who may come after

An INDIAN ROMANCE. - Says the

making numerous inquiries iu very

the name OF q. G. Gaskill, who lett
some portion of Eastern Iowa for an
overland TIP TO California during the
gold excitement of 1851. This half
wild fellow claimed, that he was about
FIVE or six years cid when his father
set out with hrs family for the over
land wagon trip to California. The
family, two years later, were in Arizo-
na, and one night the Apache Indians
made an attack upon them and car
ried him away, while the others made
their escape. Mir. Gaskill has very
vivid recollection of the battle, and
also the long wagon trip from Iowa,

Hog Cholera.

We do not pretend that the cholera
when once firmly seated can be cured,
but we unhesitatingly affirm that if
prompt measures are taken, when the
disease first appears in the herd, "a large
majority of the hogs may be saved.
We say hogs, knowing that young pigs
when taken sick from any cause can
only be saved by miracle.
As soon as the disease shows itself
in the herd, attention to the following
particulars is imperative.
/. Remove the sick animals from the
pen to comfortable quarters, and pro-
vide the herd with fresh bedding and
ample protection from the weather.
2. Avoid feeding corn in any form.
Feed the sick animals milk exclusively,
or milk mixed with little middlings,
and the entire herd with shorts, mid
dlings, ground oats or rye. If the feed
can be cooked, so much the better.
8. Let the entire herd have ready ac-
cess to pure water, and keep constant
ly in the yard pile of charcoal and
ashes.
A. Keep in mind constantly this gen.
eral truth: the hog is a clearly brute
which enjoys and pays for clean quar-
tiers, and especially his nature, no less
than mans demands proper supply of
nitro genous foods.
Only a week ago we heard careful
farmer and well known Berkshire
breeder assert that, after much expert
ence, he had no longer any dread of
hog cholera. for he could cure it with
new milk.-Prof. Shelton, in Kansas
Industridlist.
