The Courage of a sikh Soldier.

Ali MuJid Cor. London Daily Ncws.l
We pressed onward under drop
ping FIRE, under which there were one
or two more casualties. We passed
through a gruesome gorge, not five
feet wide, with overhanging walls that
so twisted in their overlapping that
the place seemed a cavern After
some tedious travel the channel began
to widen, and a few miles further on
we reached village and few fields
where we halted for the force to close
up. Here the wounded were seen to,
and the hasty bandaging replaced by
more deliberate work.
Bashford had bled but little, but a
tourniquet was applied and the orifces
of his wound replugged. The twice
wounded man was slowly dying and
lying here under tree in an Afghan
valley. Private John Powell, of No. |
company, Of the 0ne-seventeenth,
quietly took his discharge at once from
the service and from life. A Sikh naik.
of the Twenty-seventh, a fine old
soldier with gray beard, had been
shot through one leg and the kneepan
of the other smashed by the same
bullet | went to see him and found
him in great form, wounded as he was
lie laughed in my face as he shook
hands with me, and exclaimed /:
Atcha, sahib cooch perwunneh p
=" All right, sir; / don't mind it. -
But am told he sworo VERY free, "
as the British private puts it, Just
after he was hit, at the cowardly rel-
lows who had potted him.

Mr.. GLADSTONE says that the wor-

Stuart Mill formed of his wife's pow
ers was unintelligible to those who
had known her, until it was remem-

his own voice. She repeated to him
his own thoughts and his own con.
clusions and he took them when they
proceeded from her lips for the inde-
pendent oracles of truth.

Too Much to Say.

Mr.. Editor I'm oil ages since the art Of
writing was generally introduced there has
been great prouenees to scribbling, and the
less sense writer has, as a general rule, he is
given to this propensity Of forcing his views
OF things In general upon the public. There
was once self conceitcd philosopher and as
tronomcr who published to the world on
essay on the light of the sun, and he con-
tended that the sun was sufficient in it's power
Of light to shed tho light of q continual day
on this earth, and that there would never be
any night were II not for the power of certain
other planets whose peculiar office 1t was TO
dispense darkness instead Of light, and that so
great was this power Of dispensing darkness
that thereby the light OF the sun was oh
scared and night was produced,
II does seem. Mr.. Editor, that we are burth-
ened and afflicted at this time with iiood-iide
Of articles which are calculated 10 do abou; as
much good as the teachings of that wise phi
losopher and astronomer on the subject Of
light and darkness. Were IL not for one re-
markahle and noteworthy incident should
have been strongly Inclined to say that these
manifold scribblers were dire nuisance, cal
culated alone to disturb the quiet and friendly
feelings Of society but when recall to mind
the noted fact that by the Cabling Of geese
the city OF Rome was once saved, | am In
duecd to say let them proceed Rome may be
10 dagger once more, and, pcrohance, they m,y
DO the means Of arousing the sentiucls.

Local Option.

Mr.. Editor Finding that misapprchension
with some persons still exists upon the license
question, and that many affect TO believe that
its denial is an infringement Of personal right,
will try and make the question, if possible,
still palmer than my former article upon the
subject.
DR.. johnson defines license to mean ''exor-
bitant liberty" That is; undue authority,
enormous privilege, unreasonable rigqt-a
power to do that which is denied to the ordi-
nary mass of mankind. In other words, il is
monopoly, a power which our Bill of Rights
declares to be odious. How, then, can the
present license Of our State he defended upon
Democratic grounds? II is at wa. with the
first elements Of true Democracy. It gives
privileges to an individual which are denied
to the people at large. tits as exclusive as doc
tors license, or the lawers' license or the
preachers license. 1t is class legislation
subversive Of the popular symbol, [" the great
est good to the greatest number, and might
more appropriately be written the greatest
evil to the greatest number.
/. Local Option on the contrary 10 purely DEM
ocratic. II leaves the question with the peo-
pie, they to choose and decide whether IL
censed dramshop, solely for the profit Of
single individual, shall or shall not be set up
in their neighborhoOd. Nothing could be
more considerate of the wishes, feelings and
interests Of the people in each neighborhood,
than Local Option. II is precisely the kind
OF government which Mr.. Jefferson in his day
contended for, and which has recently been so
ably discussed and recommended by Hon. Ho-
ratio Seymour, sof New York.
The State has too long expressed and exercised
the right to control the liquor traffic, to leave
doubt as to its power over the whole subject.
If Local Option is objected to on the ground
that il may deprive the State Treasury Of that
amount OF revenue, then my answer is. stop
your extravagant appropriations cease TO
levy bounties to soldiers, or more properly
their voluntary agents and attorneys, four
teen years after the war has closed-cease 10
build palaces for paupers and criminals
cease to pay out pensions to hungry politicians
under the plausible name Of tax commissioner
and insurance commissioner, at 2, 500 or 3, 900
dollars salary each-duties which ought to
be performed by the Governor and Comp
troller-ceasc to do these things and many
others which might be named and there will
be no necessity TO raise money by debauching
tho people and corrupting their morals. That
is what license does. Local Option cures all
this and replaces it with thrift, happiness, mo-
rality, industry and prosperity.

DIED, at Ofntt's X Roads, on Friday. July
18th, 1879, ANNIE n :, daughter OF J. R. and
Margaret Welsh.
Thus has passed from earth young lady,
whose sweet disposition, gentle and engaging
manners, purity OF character and earnest and
untiriug labors in the service Of humanity,
and OF the church of which she was bright
ornament, have cudeared her In an extraordi-
nary degree 10 the community in which she
lived and to her largo circle Of friends. Fore
most and interchangeable in every good work,
notwithstanding her delicate and failing
health, the universal testimony Of her neigh
bors is that ''she will be sadly Missed aud
that they know not how they will get along
without her in the various good enterprises Of
the community.
A very large congregation assembled on
Saturday last, ut Potomac Chapel, to pay the
last sad tribute Of respect 10 her memory, and
after appropriate services conducted by the
Revs. G. 7. Tyler and l.. r. Green, hcr re-
mains were gently consigned 10 tho earth, In
the full assurance Of joyful resurrection.

West, aged FIVE months and two days.
Nothing can be more sad than the death oil
an infant. II seem contrary to the ordinary
course OF nature for flower to be nipped 10
the bud; and 80 for human life just bogu
and full OF promise to DO suddenly ended by
the great destroyer, brings pang 10 the hom'
circle unlike any other. The only consolation
Is the perfect certainty that "it Is well with
the child" However hearts may bleed al
their loss, II brings comfort TO realize that III,
earthly flower is bu. transplan,ed to the gar.
dens Of the Celestial City, covered by the un'
conditional atonement OF the Saviour. p.
