0 The new Nuisance law, the text
Of which we give elsewhere, would
seem to supply the friends of temper
snce with all the weapons they need TO
enable them to put down the traffic
everywhere in the state. Here in Mid
dlebury where hotels and saloons are
engaged in almost open violation of the
law, the many people who have been
shocked and alarmed of late by the rap
Id increase of drunkenness among our
young men, have a tirt-rate place to be-
gin testing the efficacy of the new bill.
Every man engaged in the. nefarious
traffic, whether he keeps hotel or a
back room, should have his place COM
planned of according to law. None of
our citizens will desire them fined or
imprisoned, but there are many who
are feeling strongly that the business
must be stopped, and who express de-
termination to do their duty in endeav-
sring to have it stopped, even if some
Of our "most respectable citizens" suffer
imprisonment in consequence. If the
rumholes remain open longer, it will
be only because of the cowardice and
impotence of the professed friends of
temperance and law.

Trade Diseases.

In his address before the British
Medical association, DR.. Arledge CLASH
fies, under the following heads, the
various causes of disease in the different
trades: First, the evolution of dust;
second, the evolution of unwholesome
vapors and gases; third, materials of an
irritant or poisonous nature acting
through the system or only locally;
fourth, overheated dir, whether dry or
laden with moisture; fifth, compressed
air and rarffied air; sixth, external con-
ditions acting upon the organs of special
sense; seventh, over-exertion of particu-
lar parts of the body; eighth, mechani-
cal appliances productive of bodily ina
jury. DR.. Arledge pronounces the evo-
luton of dust the most widely-spread
source of disease flowing directly from
the labor pursued-its presence and sc-
ton being observed in all textile fac
tories, in mining, for coal or metal in
ores, in cutlery manufacture, in cutting
and polishing stone and ivory, in the
process of grinding -four, and likewise
in large number of the smaller trades.

Population Of africa.

People who have forgotten their
school statistics may be surprised to
learn that the population OF Africa is
much greater than that of North
and South America. We are apt to
think OF Africa rs mostly desert and
wilderness, with here aud there few
tribes OF Arabs or villages of negroes.
Beyond the borderland with which civ
ilization Is familiar, It is natural to
think of the inhabitants Of Africa as q
few and far between, like our Indians.
As a matter of fact, Africa is much
more thickly inhabited than America.
Authorities which set the population OF
the latter at "a, 549, 900, give the former
203, 800, 600. In the Soudan the popula-
tion is rated at $4,000. 900, one town on
the Niger containing 90, 900 inhabitants.
East Africa Is rated at 10000. 900, and
equatorial Africa at 40, 600, 900 souls. II
is estimated that the members of the
negro re- e number 130, 000, 900. "Many
of the rribes," says our authority, "are
above the condition of savages. They
have fixed hahitations, though merely
mud huts, defended by stockades, and
they have some laws or customs favor
able to commerce. Among several
tribes the native merchant is greatly es-
teemed, and property is safe even during
the war. The land is cultivated; the
inhabitants wear dyed cotton clothes !;
gold and iron are ingeniously manufac-
tured, and certain kind OF intelligence
seems to be very slowly spreading"

MAKE OUT THE TAX BILLs.-Owing TO
some changes made by the late legisla-
ture in the matter of allowance for
Attachments and for collecting, the state
treasurer may not be able to issue his
warrants for the collection of the state
tax for nearly two weeks. In order to
give tax payers as much time as posi-
BILE to avail themselves of the allowance
of three per cent. if payment is made
before February first, the suggestion is
made to selectmen of the towns not to
await the reception of the treasurer's
warrants, but to proceed at once to
make out the tax bills. A tax of twen-
ty per cent. is laid for the year 1881 on
the list of 1880. The tax bills can
therefore be made up at cncc, and be
ready for collection the moment the
lreasurer's warrants are received, or
before If any considerable delay in the
issue Of the warrants 10 likely to ensue.

The NatiOna, Debt.

Charles d. McGuffey, OF Chattanooga,
Tenn, Inns been endeavoring to "get
some idea" Of the magnitude Of the
national debt ut the close of tho war.
He has made the calculation that il four
men were to sit down to pay the inter-
est, and count silver dollar second,
and work every second of the year, they
could not keep down tho interest on the
original debt; and if another should sit
down at two years of age to count the
principal ut the same rate, he would be
over 40 years old by the time he
counted tho last dollar, interest on the
principal having ceased from the first
moment. The pile Of silver dollars,
moreover, which he would make in
counting that principal would be four
feet square and fifteen times as high as
Lookout mountain 1880 feet above
Chattanooga; and if the silver were con-
veyed in continuous wagon train, each
wagon carrying ton and each wagon
and team occupying thirty-fve feet, that
train would stretch from Chattanooga to
Columbus.

wThe legislature adjourned wit

wThe legislature adjourned with
out date OH Friday last, December "a.
The session has been the longest in the
history of the state, but the amount Of
useful business transacted is probably
less than was ever done before by any
legislature. This was probably due to
the fact that several new and radical
changes in our laws were proposed,
such as even giant intellects prefer to
handle with cautiousness for fear of do
ing something rash. Such were the pro-
posed tax bill, the reduction in court exc
penses, and the revision of The laws,
which undoubtedly represented not
less of real work than of cheap talk.
As usual the legislature failed to act
upon several important questions, and
indeed, compared with what has been
proposed Cor it to do, the performance
has been pitifully small.
