THE AMENDED MoFFETT LIQUOR
LAW IN VIRGINIA..

Virginia has faith in her Mofett reg
ister. and with commemorate tenacity IS
proceeding TO perfect her invention and
put it upon a more extended trial. The
Legislature has re-enacted the old law
with many Improvements and it Is be-
lieyed il will realize large increase over
the revenue derived from it last year.
Registers are to be placed on the bar
counters, instead OF the wall; one is to
be- painted white and the other black /;
the tax on alcoholic drinks is reduced to
one and one-hali cents; the tax on
retail dealers is twenty-four cents
for the first gallon sold
and twenty cents for all above the first
gallon; record of the sales is to be
kept in a book to be furnished by the
Auditor and paid for by the seller; Ii
quOr dealers, agents or employees are
made liable for failing to register.
The law is lengthy one and displays
considerable ingenuity, As every law
must that deals with this subject. Per-
haps Virginia will yet furnish a model
liquor law for the States.

pHELABoRERs, I,IEN LAW,

The act Of the last Legislature known
as the Mechanics Lien Law" with two
exceptions simply repeats the act OF
1928, amending chapter 10 OF the Code
Of 1868. The first OF these exceptions is
the substituting Of the words "clerk OF
the county court" for the word ere
corder" in the Code The second gives
an additional power to the court in
ordering sales OF property when a
mechanic' claim or claims shall have
been established. II is in the form Of
an addition 10 the ninth section Of the
above ella. ter and read rs follows: "And
the court may, in addition, give a per-
sOnal decree in favor of such creditors
for o. amount OF their claims against
any party As to whom they may be
established; such decree to have the
effect OF, and 10 be enforced Us other
DEGREES for money" The act then re-
pcals all acts and parts oiacts conflicting
with il.
The other lien law enacted by the
Legislature and known rs the Labor
crs' Lien Law" is 10 protect labor by
creating liens upon real estate and per
sonal property OF corporations in favor
Of workmen and others in their en-
ploy. The provisions are briefly as
follows:
Every employee Of any incorporated
company Shall have lien upon the
cOmpany's property for value OF work
performed, 10 have priority over any
lien created by deed or otherwise, with
cut priority over any other similar lien,
prOyiic,i, that the labor WAS not per
Iormed more than nine months before
the lien was recorded. To preserve the
lien, the party must, within thirty days
from the time he ceases work, file with
the clerk OF the county court, an ac-
count of the money due him, swearing
and subscribing Ia the same. The
clerk shall record the amount in the
mechanics lien record and receive fee
OF fifty cents.
To enforce the lien a bill must be filed
i'm court, and all other persons having,
or who may require, similar liens shall
bemade parties 10 the suit Ii the party
bringing the suit fail, from any cause, TO
recover, the suit shall not be- dismissed,
hut may be prosecuted by any others
having liens, and il one RECEIVERS the
suit shall issue To the benefit of all hold
inc liens. Ill claim be established, the
court shall order the sale of the proper
" aS in other suits in Chancery. When
u debt secured by such a lien is fully
paid after the creditor has filed his ac-
count, he NAV cause the clerk TO enter
a discharge or execute a release.
Tris act takes effect ninety DAYS from
the date OF its approval, March 3, 1879.

Though II Is Of the greatest importance that

A NEW DEPARTURE IN STATE
CONSTITUTIONS.

The new Constitution OF California
seems to be regarded with special in
tcrcSt throughout the country. Ii is in
many respects an original document, ig,
morning the beaten paths and making in
noyatjous that arr aS bold as they are
novel. Il is said 20 DC more lengthy
than the Constitution Of the United
States.
Among It's general provisions gas, tel,-
graph, railroad and similar companies
are placed under the control Of the Leg
iSlature; lohhyiug is made a felony; land
limitation and homestead exemption are
provided for, and the granting OF State
lands Ia other than actual ttl,rs and
in quantities greater than so acres TO
each settler i prohibited No corpora

p.oyeS Of railroad and canal companies

article is the last, AMI, though not long,
II covers the ground very thoroughly
II torbids forever the right Of citizenship

The old constitution gave all foreign
ers who were bona ide residents Of the
state the right TO inherit, hold and de-
wise property the same as actual citizens,
but the new instrument limits this priv
ilege to foreigners Of the white race OF of
African descent, thus excluding the
Chinese. A similar discrimination is
made against the MOngOlians in the
matter OF suffrage. They are, in general
terms, declared to BE- a dangerous nui-
sance, which the legislature may abate
IN every possible way. 1t is declared
that they shall not be employed,
directly or indirectly, by any corpora
ton organized or to be organized under
the laws Of the State; they must not be
employed on public works, except in
punishment Of crime, and their immi-
grafton into the State is 10 be dis

\ MODERN RUTU.-A pretty story was

young lady from the South was woocl and
won byayoung California physician. About
the time the wedding was to come off, the
young man lost his entire fortune. lie
wrote the lady q letter releasing her from
her engagement. And what does that dear,
good girl do? Why, she takes lump of
gold which her lover had sent her in his
prosperity as keepsake. and, having it man.
uiacturcd into ring, forwards it to him
with the following inscription: "Entrcat
me not to leave thee, or to return from fol-
lowing after thee; for whittier thou lodgcst,
will lodge thy people shall be my people,
aud thy God my God; where thou dcst
will die, and there will be buried the
Lord do 30 to me, and more also, if aught
but death part thee and me-" We may add
,hat fortune again smiled on the young ply

to the South to wed the sweet girl he loved.
