In Mississippi a plan has been pro-
posed for collection Of money to run the
State Government which is claimed to be
much superior to the Moffstt whisky
register now in operation in Virginia.
Books OF coupons would be sold by the
Mississippi State Auditor to all liquor
dealfrs. When the drink il sold the
consumer receives a coupon. which en-
titles him TO receive from the State in
payment of his taxes one cent. If two
drinks are to be paid for he receives an
orange-colored coupon good for two
cents. II five drinks blue paper good
for five cents. This plan for taxing
thirsty people for the benefit of those
who do not thirst is one OF the strangest
vagaries Of legislation. However the
citizens of the Silver State stand in no
danger Of having such an outrageous
burden as this placed upon them, for
our worthy Legislators all like their
strong "tea." and who ever heard OF
legislative body doing such an out land
ish thing as to impose tax upon itself.
But If they did. my conscience! what a
revenue our State would have. The re.
oeipts from the bullion tax would be
mere nothing in comparison.

There are many cases, in various parts
OF the world, says the N. Y. Engineering
and Mining journal. where the whole or
parts of streams suddenly disappears
from sight, and. in some instances, the
place of its reappearace is unknown, or,
best, but conjecture. 1t is common
experiment, where the waters of river
make plunge and reappear at short
distance, to throw chaff into the upper
waters and note its appearance upon the
surface of the lower. 1t having been
supposed that portion OF the water OF
the upper end of the Danube went to
feed the River Aach. an afiluent of Lake
Constance, and some ten miles distant
from the Danube. Professor Knop, Of
Carlsruhe. improved and greatly beauti-
fed this experiment by emptying into the
Danube some fifteen gallons of foure-
scene "a very powerful green coloring

Temperance Items.

The Blue Ribbon movement has got as
far as England.
There are thirty-four parishes in Scotland
without public house.
The king of Sweden has given 1000
crowns to help forward the temperan ce
work.
When Virginia man asks another to
have a drink he blandly says: "Shall we
give the public debt lift?" They lift.
A new law of Pennsylvania makes it un-
lawful for the proprietor OF fany place where
Intoxicating drinks are sold to employ wo-
men.
The temperance people of Annapolis,
Nd, had a bonfire recently, kindled with
and whole outfit belonging to
reformed saloonist.
Intoxication is not known to Burmah.
II one of the people of that country gets
drunk be is liable to have his head cut off
law ia rigidly enforced as that of pre-.
meditated murder.
Eminent ssatictics have calculated that
the amount of labor and ingenuity con-
stantly expended by impecunious topers
In getting free drinks would, if devoted to
any honorable and useful pursuit., pay off
the natianal debt in little more than six
years and eight months.
Here is the way Kentuekey paper
puts IT, "Whiskey is che cause of nearly
all crime, disorder and misery. Strike it
out and strikes would end; tramp il out
and tramps wonld be but few; murder it
and murders would cease; stab it to the
heart and hearts would no longer be stab
bed; pus an everlasting end to the mean
thing and meanness would be an exception
not rule; set FIRE to it-burn the last
bottle and barrell and the fewer souls would
burn in hell. Away With tho cruel curse
forever"

Our Demands

Here is how an exchange puts part of
the green back case: "In 1865 one dollar
in greenback money paid one dollar of debt
to the soldier and the laborer. We demand
that one dollar of greenback money pay
one dollar OF debt now as then, and that it
pay it to any creditor of the government.
Then if all the money be good we are all
benefited alike. If it be poor we all suffer
alike. Ours is government that has the
absolute power to create full legal-tender
paper money. Ills said that one dollar
Of money shall pay one dollar of debt iu
all caset except-we demand that there be
no exceptions and that all money put out
by the government pay all debts. This is
equality and Justice

Major John F. Lacy, a leading member
of the Mahaska county bar, whom we met
on our trip south, reports remarkable case
that came under his observation. He was
witness in court recently,
when suddenly the man, apparently stout
and well, dropped his head on his breast,
breathed ste ntorously once or twice and was
dead. The body was carried off, another
witness substituted in his place, and ten
minutes after the doctor came into court,
bearing in his hand the heart of the man,
who. few minutes previous, was giving
his testimony. The aorta was ruptured,
and the suffusion of blood was go vast and
sudden it inundated she lungs, and the man
died instantly and without pain. Sup
pressed excitement did it-a real case OF

CAN THE LAW CREATE MoNEY?-A
contemporary having asserted that the cre-
alton Of money is not prerogative of gov
ernment, that money existed before all
government and may survive ALL the In
dianapolis Sun says:-If the theory was
true, that the law did not create money;
then the farmers might and can pay their
taxes in turnips and green peas; the shoe
maker in boots and wax ends; the black
smith In horse shoe nails, and the grocer
in sugar. What isit that prevents them
doing SO, but the law of legal-tender; and
why that law, if the power to make it is
not government prerogative? Gold is
not money or else the matchmaker could
pay his taxes and debts in old watch-csses
and finger rings. If silver was money, the
silversmith could pay his taxes and debts
in watch cases, tea spoons. castors and but
ter knives. He could also command the
products of other industries in exchange
