THE BLACK LIST.

Here is the list in black letters of the men
who, by an unhappy accident being in
important official positions, deliberately
abused their trust, perverted the laws which
it was their sworn dutyto execute justly and
impartially according to their spirit and in
tent, who sought by wicked trickery to
thwart the will of the people as expressed at
the polls and who not only brought dis
grace upon themselves but smirched the
fair fame of the State whose officials they
unfortunately were. Their names and places
should be known of all men that they
may receive the Just punishment of being
regarded as infamous by all good citizens
and that the rising generation may learn by
their example the folly of being wicked.
To this list is appended the names of such
other men as have taken offices to which
they knew they were not elected, and who
become equally guilty by taking advantage
of the vile conduct of the original malefac-
tors:

The Maine State Temperance Society is composed
of members of all temperance organizations in the
State, anu is designed to be the medium through
which they can untedly act in the of all honor
able measures for the final overthrow of the drink
ing system and the liquor traffic.
We cordially invite all friends of the temperance
cause to meet with us on this occasion, in order to
secure more perfect union; to devise measures to
educate the masses upon the drinking system; to
strengthen the moral sentiment of the people upon
the drink traffic; to advise upon the question OF
more stringent enactments for the suppression OF
drinking and selling intoxicating liquors; to take
into consideration the wlful neglect and refusal OF
executive officers of towns, cities and counties to
enforce the laws upon the statutes of the Slate,
prohibiting the traffic in intoxicating liquors. and
to consider any and all questions bearing upon
these subjects.
The exigencies of the times demand that we
should vote for none but honest men and honest
officials to enforce the laws; and that obedi-
to all laws being the paramount duty of all
people, they should demand thorough impartial
and non partisan enforcement of law against the
dram shop, well all other laws for the protec-
ton of the people, as the only safeguard of our
institutions and homes

Unsociability at Table.

AT French or German public table
everybody, whether stranger or &C.
quaintance, drops at once into con-
versation. The fact is recognized
that conversing dispels stiffness and
restraint, and thereby adds relish to
the meal. People regard each other
as mutual aids for the half hour. No
claim of after acquaintance is made
and the company may part, never
possibly to meet again. At the
American hotel-a restaurant table
where strangers are placed opposite
each other-all is dreadfully con.
strained, stiff and disagreeable. The
more ladies, as rule, the more re.
straint. No one feels at liberty to
speak to the other party or PARTIES
The more silence the more curiosity
and speculation regarding each other.
Eyes are busily stealing glances, and
the least remark dropped is caught
up BY greedy ears. Every one feels
under the others critical inspection.
What talk there may be is hidden
away in u sort of a voiced fashion
from the others. Sometimes curiosity
takes the objectionable liberty Of
suspending its own speech to hear
what others are saying. A days
meals eaten at hotel under this in,
Spection Of curious and constrained
eye and ear is enough to bring on a
ut OF dyspepsia, through the conse.
quent mental strain and irritation.

Fun Ahead.

An old and partially intoxicated
sailor was brought up before Justice
Wandcll, in the Yorkyille Police
Court. The Justice asked: @Thomas,
why do you drink the nasty stuff"
The old sailor respectfully saluted
his Honor, and inquired of him if he
meant liquor.
That's just what I meant" repli-
ed the court; sit is very nasty stuff
"Your Honor is all wrong,n pur-
sued the old sailor, reaectingly-"all
wrong"
Look at me-" said the Justice; a
am over sixty years of age, and /
have never tasted liquor"
"Was your Honor never drunk"
"Never in my life"
"May l be-. Well, your Hon.
or, yo're not too old yet. There's fun
ahead for you-heaps of fun ahead"
When the courtroom became quiet
in a measure, the old sailor was dis
charged.

Might Life ofYoune ,re,l.

One night often destroys whole
life. The leakage Of the night keeps
the day forever empty. Night is
SINS harvesting time. More sin and
crime are committed in one night
than in all the days Of the week
This is more emphalically true of
the city than Of the country. The
street lamps, like file of soldiers with
torch in hand, stretch away in long
lines on either sidewalk; the gay col
ored transparencies are ablaze with
attractions; the saloon and billiard
halls are brilliantly illuminated;
music sends forth its enchantment;
the gay company begin to gather to
the haunts and houses of pleasure;
the gambling dens are afame with
palatial splendor; the theatres are
wide open; the mills of destruction
are grinding health, honor, happi-
ness, hope out of thousands Of lives.
The city under the gaslight is not
the same as under Gods sunlight
The allurements and perils and pit.
falls Of night area hundred fold deep
Grand darker andsmore destructive.
Night life in ourcitiesis dark prob
lem, whose depth and abysses and
whirlpools make us start back with
horror All night long tears are
falling, blood is streaming.
Young men, tell me how and
where you spend your evenings, and
/ will write out the chart Of your
character and final destiny, with
blanks to insert your names. II
seems to me an appropriate text
would be, "Watchman, what of the
night" Policeman, pacing thy
beat, what of the night? What are
the young men of the city doing at
night Where do they spend their
evenings? Who are their associates?
What are their habits? Where do
they go in, and what time do you
see them come out? Policemen,
would the night life of young men
commend them to their employers
Would it be to their credit? Make
record of the nights of one week.
Put in the morning paper the names
of ali the young men, their habits
and hannts, that are on the street
for sinful pleasure. Would there
not be shame and confusion? Some
would not dare to go to their place
OF business; some would not return
home at night; some would leave the
city, some would commit suicide
Remember, young men, that in the
retina of the All-seeing eye there is
nothing hid but shall be revealed on
the last day.

a Story With a Moral

IN New Hampshire, which every
newspaper in the land ought to copy
Tor the benefit of its readers and its
circulation. 1t is the recent expert.
ence Of o man there who never read
tho papers. He has two large ice
houses on his farm, and he improved
the few cold snaps of the winter by
filling them for Summer emergen.
oies. He didn't know anything
about an ice famine, and so when a
speculative neighbor, who does read
the papers, came around and offered
him 5000 for his ice crop, he greedily
closed the bargain, and chuckled to
himself as he thought how much wi,
ser he was than the other man. He
didn't, however, the next day when
another man came aud offered him
$4,000 for that same ice, and when
his first caller finally sold it for S..
6OO to a Boston ice company, he was
heard to tell his family what q con.
founded, dashed, Anticipated idiot he
was. Then he vowed to subscribe

ConselousIness Of ZINC.

When pastcyents are properly at
iached to those that precede and sue
coed them, fluctuations may arise
in the estimation of their distance in
consequence Of variations in the char.
acter ofthe intervening spaces. In
other words, our sense Of distance in
time is influenced byour sense Of du.
ration. According to Mr.. G. ]. Ro-
names, who has written a very in
teresting essay on our Conscious
ness of Time" (Nind, July, 1879
the sense of duration depends on two
conditions. Time seems long, either
when it is crowded with new and ex-
citing impressions, as on a Summer
tour, or when we are dwelling on the
fact of its passing, and SO are partic-
ularly conscious of it, as in waiting
for train. 1t seems short when it
is comparatively empty of exciting
experiences, provided the mind does
not dwell on its passage Thus, it
appears comparatively short when
we are busily employed about our
ordinary avocations. Hence, it hap
pens that events just preceding a
time of unusual excitement and nov.
ell experience look further off than
events separated by the same inter-
val of comparatively quiet impress
sion. Last Sundays sermon seems
much farther away after week in
Switzerland than after a week Of
customary experience at home. Not
only does an event appear to take up
different distances because separated
from the present by seemingly I'M.
equal intervals the very fact that
the one interval has been filled with
exciting impressions, the other with
comparatively quiet ones, serves to
give the mental image of the event a
different degree of vividness and dis.
tinctiveness in the two cases. Our
mental development is not only a
process Of retention of the old, it is a
process of displacement Of the old by
the new. The more interesting or
more exciting the new, the more rap.
idly does the old tend to disappear.
Hence the apparent extrusion of a
recollection by supervening expert
ences of unusual impressiveness.-
Even dream-consciousness seems ca
pable of etfecting this result, for the
incidents of the preceding evening
often appear to be dimmed and
thrust further away after q night of
exciting dreams. To young children
events year old look much further
off than to adults, just because the
interval, full of novel impressions
from its young world appears to
swell out, and because the impress.
iveness and fascination Of these ex-
periences tend to obscure the earlier
ones and to Danish them further
from the present.-Me CornhiA Mag.

Lawyers Under Peter.

Peter the Great, of Russia, was q
monarch of large views but invinci
Bile prejudices. He loved his coun.
try, and longed to see it take a higher
place in European history. He saw
clearly that progress could be made
only by the introduction of new in.
dustries and by skillful training in
mechanical labor.
To forward this end he visited in
disguise the older nations of Europe,
made himself thoroughly acquainted
with their forms of industry, and
worked as q common mechanic at
various trades.
He sent, also, numerous young
men of promise to great cities in 9th.
er countries, to acquire skill in the
mechanical arts, and to become teach.
efs OF thelr countrymen.
Butwhile honoring all well-trained
mechanics, he had rooted contempt
for lawyers. 1t puzzled him to un.
derstand how they occupied high
positions in England and France
They multiplied quarrels, he said,
and fattened on the blood of 9th
ers. Vexed at the high esteem in
which they were held elsewhere, he
vented his wrath in the memorable
threat:
q am thankful I have only two
lawyers in my empire. When l re.
turn | mean TO execute one of them.'

MANS Homo Kingdom.

The dearest and purest pleasures
are those which have their rise in
the family. No man is more proudly
happy than he who carries over the
that there is within
his reach one supreme spot where. he
is the most welcome guest of all the
world; whose daily coming is a festi-
val event in his little kingdom, and
whose going forth is the withdrawal
Of home Of the sunshine that warns
the living blossoms rooted in that
genial soil. The contemplation of
such a kingdom stirs within the soul
emotions that respond to no other
bidding. Never to have known the
thrill of those emotions is to have
lived an incomplete life. Very deep
down in every mans heart is one
note that remains forever mute until
the child's voice crying @Father"
sets it in vibration. The strongest
link of human love is forged for no
woman who does not bend in strange
and wondering joy over the babe
that has come to her through doubt
and pang. These mother, father,
babe-are the true and holy triune Of
earth; the materialized soul of Love;
the all gracious Spirit of Home
Let us offer sacrifice to them and
bow to them in alteration.
