 Joseph Cook ''preluded," Monday, on the
 Civil Damage law of Massachusetts, some ac-
 count of the workings of which was given
 last week in these columns. His defense of
 the law was very earnest and comprehensive.
 Said he, among other things: It is objected
 that the landlord is not responsible for the
 sales of the tenant. The reply is that the
 tenant, according to the Massachusetts law,
 cannot be licensed unless the landlord con sents. The latter, according to legal analogy,
 is an accessory te the tenants crime. It is objected that landlords may find their names in the newspapers, and so loss rank in good society, if they are sued under the Civil Dam age law. The reply is that this social con- straint on wrong-doing is one of the best ef- fects of the law. It is objected that the law causes the landlord loss of rents and lessens the value of real estate. The reply is that what is lost in rents in city corner lots leased to rumsellers is in practice found to be more than made up by the improved condition of poor tenants and their less frequent failure to pay any rent at all. It is objected that the law is not executed, and should therefore be repealed. The reply is that in multitudes of cases the law has been executed, and has be- hind it larger popular support than any tenn perance law equally offensive to the whiskey ring ever had. The ten commandments are not executed, but it does not follow that ally, am in favor of prohibitory law, but if cannot get that, will stand by license law with civil-damage teeth. There are men enough in society who are in favor of mode rately strong temperance law to keep such law on the statute books, if you will only unite them with those who want severe law. I believe this Civil Damage law unites the friends of temperance no temperance law of equal severity has ever done. It is object ed that the Civil Damage law lessens the re- spectability of rum selling and drives the traffic into the hands of low and lawless poo pie. The reply is that this is one of the in tended effects of the law and is useful result. green room, When evil spirits are driven out of men into swine they are then all the more easily driven into the sea-"

The Hartford reporters have got hold of a Legislature they can handle, and they are making the most out of it. Yesterday they succeeded in getting the House to pass reso- lution appropriating $25O to each of them, all reporters of papers in other parts of the State being counted out. The fair and sensible thing to do is to abolish such appropriations altogether. They have cost the State great deal of money and have been simply ''grabs. '
 Somebody connected with the New York Times went to the Charity Ball recently given in New York city and saw many women of the best society who are quite fat and now an eff fort is being made to prove that American women are no longer scrawny. As the evil dence thus far laid in is insufficient. and as the proof sought would add somewhat to our standing in foreign countries, we recommend that the inquiry be made national matter and an Investigating committee be appointed by Congress.

It is pointed out that it has been twice de- eided in Republican national conventions that the instructions of State conventions as to how delegates shall vote are not binding, that the National convention can alone make rules for the government of it's proceedings. and that every delegate is entitled to have his vote recorded as he wishes, without regard to
 the contrary views of his associates. At Cin- cinnati thequestion came up on the claim of four delegates from Pennsylyania to have thsir votes recorded for Blaine, although the

But, should the Republican national convention nominate him in the same manner as any other candidate would be nominated, he would deem it his duty to the country and the party to accept Travelling abroad, he was @ stranger to the contest now going on for the Presidential nomination, and has written no letters on the subject to any person, and all assertions to the contrary are without founda- ton in fact" This is the correct statement of the Generals position which appears in the New York Times, on the authority of near personal and political friend of his.

A Stage Line and Mail Route.

MT. - Fisher has been in town the past week circulating petitions looking to the establishment of a mail route between Harrison and this place. The following is copy of the petition l:
 The undersigned citizens of Harri- son, Ark, and Russellville, Ark, and along the route between said places, would respectfully ask that daily mail be granted from said town of Harrison to Russellville. We give among many others the following req sons for this request:
 Russellville hvs become the princi- pal point to which merchants of Boone and other counties along said route have their shipping done, and to which they ship their stock and produce. It is the most accessible railroad point to the people of Boone and other counties along said route.
 It gives to said counties communica- tion with the State Capitol more direct- ly than any other route.
 Owing to the great necessity for said route, we further respectfully request that special service be placed upon the same at once.
 As soon as service is put upon this route, 1t is understood that stages will be placed upon it also.

A Wedding Cake.

If ladies sin against propriety in TAX
ing the initiative, they can hardly be
blamed for bringing shilly-shallying
or over-bashful lover to the point when
a good opportunity presents itself.
Such an opportunity sufficed to end
what had been somewhat tedious
courtship. The young man, paying his
usual evening visit, asked his lady-love
how she got along with her cooking.
Nicely" replied she; "I'm improving
wonderfully, and make splendid cake
now" "Can your" said the young fell
low, ignorantly rushing on to his fate.
"What kind do you like best?' IL like
one made with flour and sugar, with
lots of raisins, currants and citron, and

him but to say he meant wedding too
