A QUEER LICENSE LAW.

There is decided temperance sentiment in the town of North Bend, Nebraska, and it has found expression in stringent and unique plan for regulating the sale and use of Intoxicating liquors Under this plan an inhabitant of North Bend who wants i- cense to run 'sample room" must be suitable person" in order to get it, and the man who wants drink must also be suit able person to have it. It is required that the names of applicants for license shall be advertised in the papers two weeks before action is taken on their requests, in order to allow of protests. If there be protest, hearing must be granted, to which witnesses may be summoned, as in a court, and com- pelled to testify. If an applicant ever had license revoked, or during the year has been convicted of violating the law, he cannot have new license. Five hundred dollars is the fee required, and the bond is for five thousand Among the penalties is fine of twenty-five dollars for selling to minors but the minor who falsely states his age is amenable to 8 fine of twenty dollars. Sale without a license costs the dealer from $1OO to $500 or a AAOACA D HI APHASoAueuG II uQuOrS are IOunQ to be adulterated with certain specified sub stances the dealer may be fined $1OO A like penalty attaches to selling on Sunday or cleo tion day. An intoxicated person may be fined $1OO or imprisonment month; but a portion of the penalty may be remitted if he will confess when, where and of whom he obtained his liquor. For erecting screen, blind or shade between the window and place of sale the dealer may be fined twenty-five dollars, and sent to jail for ten days Finally, every dealer must record each sale with date, the purchasers name and the alleged reason for purchase. These records are to be filed in the town clerks office for public inspec- ton. The purchaser is liable to ten dollars and costs for the first time and to twice that and Imprisonment the second, that he falsely states the object for which he wants the liquor.
 Never before, to our knowledge, has i- cense law which covers the whole ground in the way this one does been tried. If it could be rigidly enforced it would hardly pay to sell or drink intoxicating liquors in North Bend. But it attempts too much, and it is probable that those North Renders who are disposed to Ego on bender'' occasionally will find way to do it, in spite of the many and severe restrictions placed upon them.

Captain Goldman, New York gentleman thoroughly acquainted with the Mormon question, holds that it has been a great mis- take to fight Mormonism as well as polygamy. The result, he thinks, has been to strengthen the love of the Mormons for their religion, including this detestable feature. As to polygamy itself, he seems to be very much of the opinion that, if let alone, it would die of it's own accord. He points out that the cen- sus of 1880 shows that Utah has 5,e35 more male than female inhabitants, and this is, he adds, in 8 community where every man is supposed to own harem." Ont of 124, GOO Mormons, he states that 3 1000 men and 7 1000 women are living in a state of polygamy, and that the majority of them are old people
 With the young people, he says, polygamy is unpopular, and the most earnest preaching falls to induce them to practice it. Captain Goldman thinks this unpopularity is due to

BIaokbirds are rapidly disappearing be- fore the guns of the New Jersey pot hunters. Their method of killing them is little curious. A blind is built in the fly of the birds. generally near Augustine marsh, within easy gun-shot. Three or four poles are put up in line with the blind and on these poles branches are fastened so that every twig can be swept by the shot from the large bore gun. On pole at one side dead birds are placed as decoys. As the birds begin to fly shortly before sunrise the gunner has all his preparations completed soon after daylight. The first focks decoy best the poles are soon black with chat tering crowd. Three or four dozen are often killed at shot, and from fifteen to twenty dozen is common mornings work After 8 o'clock the shooting is over, as the birds are scattered over their feeding ground in the country As they return to their roost in the evening the fun again begins and lasts until sundown. Blaekbirds are easily sold to restaurants in Philadelphia, and these men make good wages in the season which lasts from the middsse of July to thu ! first of September.

Dr. Thomas Hill, ex-president of Harvard University, has provoked much discussion by his proposition that all the world should keep Greenwich mean time, subtracting the nearest hour of longitude, to be prefxed when necessary as a Roman numeral: He has also received several letters criticising the proposition. One writer says the scheme works well enough in Great Britain, but is impracticable in large country like this. Another thinks the scheme is too compEca- ted, much more so than the proposition re- gently advanced to have the same moment of absolute time called 12 o'clock in all parts of the world at once, without regard to the po- sition of the sun with reference to the meri- dian or horizon. A third correspondent says the doctors scheme, if adopted, would lead to many railroad accidents. In spite of these criticisms, the doctor maintains his position and has faith that reason and his method of keeping time will prevail.

The main provisions Of the Irish land bill as finally passed are these: The tenant may dispose of his tenancy on the best terms he can make, subject to the landlords right to purchase in and to be recompensed for ar- rears of rent out of the purchase money and forfmprovements the tenant may devise his tenancy and the landlord must accept the devisee in the place of the old tenant; the tenant, however, cannot subdivide or sub-let; the land court, the novel and most important feature of the bill, is to determine what is fair rent, and the rent thus determined, the tenant holds the premises for fifteen years, without possibility of eviction, provided be complies with the law as to punctuai payments, etc.. when the tenant has made improvements, he has the benefit of thsm the land court supervises all proceedings against tenants, and even in the case of dila- tory payment of rent, may stop eviction, if it thinks that pecuniary damages may be an adequate satisfaction; existing leases are continued, and the law provides for the pur- chase of estates by the land commission for sale to tenants on terms which will enable them to buy. It seems as if fair minded tenants ought to be satisfied with such law as this

At the Indian council in session last week in Washington, the chiefs of the Sioux and the Omahas were invited to sell a part of their reservations to the ill-treated Poncas The Omahas declined, saying that they had no more land than they needed for their own people. But the Sioux chief, White Thur der, said his people would give the Poncas all the land they need, and when asked if the Sioux expected to be paid for it, he said with an air of one resenting an injurious sus- pieion: sNo, my friend, that is not what want. You told me I ought to have pity on these poor Poncas. How can have pity on them, and yet take their money? We give them the lands they need" And yet we are frequently told that there is no good Indian but dead one.

Unhappy Ireland will, if the reports are true, have an excellent harvest this year. An unusually large area of the island is under cultivation and the outlook has not been so favorable for good crops since 1872. The tillage in Leinster comprises million and 8 half of acres, and the barley there is fine, while the hay crop is the most abundant on record. Hay is also large crop in Ulster, and much of it will probably find it's way across St. .George's channel, to supplement the falling of in the English production.

Improving Stock.

The time has been in this country,
and not great number of years ago,
when many farmers found almest insur-
mountabe difficulties in tho way of the
introduction of good stock; but that
time has passed away. Obstacles which
presented themselves disappeared, and
it is no longer an open question whether
or not it is good policy to br, ed, grow
and fatten the best. The great cost OF
thoroughbred stock, at one time, was
barrier in the way OF its general use,
but breeding has now grown to be a
vast industry, and prices OF good in
dividual sires and dams have been so
reduced as to place them nearer the
reach of all than ever before. The
hard times of few years back pre-
vented many farmers from wedding out
trashy breeding stock; the means for
making desirable substitution being
actually unprocurable; but this diti.
Guilty is now removed. The generally
unremuneratiye condition of the fat
stock trade was another impediment to
those desiring to raise their standard OF
breeding; but this trouble no longer
exists. There actually are no obstacles
in the way of general improvements at
this time which are worth considering.
On the contrary, there is an incentive
to the introduction of good blood. 1t
is one of the urgent demands of the
day. and, if the American people would
become, as they can, the regular feed
ers of Europe, it must be needed. The
standard quality of the stock on our
fat stock markets can, with proper eff
fort, be raised fifty per cent. within the
next two years time, without any
financial trouble whatever. Pittsburgh

A Child's Adventure in a Freight Car.

An odd story comes from the Stock Yards.
A young and intelligent little boy named
John Steinberg, who is only eleven years Of
age, and is now tenderly cared for by the
police, tells a strange story of travel and
suffering. His parents live at Beaver Falls,
Pa. Last week the little boy was with some
companions playing "hide and seek" at his
home in Beaver Falls. So as to hide secure
ly from his companions he entered
a box railroad car and lay down in
the corner. The door was suddenly
closed on him, and all was dark. He
cried and shouted to be released, but
all in vain, as no one heard him. The
train moved, and continued on its course
westward. The boy, without food or water,
was confined In the car for three days and
two nights. When the door of the car was
opened at Fifty-first street the train men
were surprised to discover young boy,
who Immediately jumped out. He related
his adventure to them, and he says they
told him to "skip." He was taken in charge
by the police, and Captain Gahan tele-
graphed his father. A dispatch was re-
ceived from the father yesterday, stating
that he had sent money to pay his boy's fare
home. The young traveller will be sent to

An Old Settler Settled.


Some time ago some boys, while play
ing in the rear OF the town hall at East
Machias, discovered what appeared to
be the burial place of an Indian. The
remains have recently been exhumed
and are, perhaps, the most interesting
ever discovered in Maine. They are
evidently those of chief. A copper
band nearly two inches wide enciroled
the head. To the right ear, which was
dried and well preserved, were attached
ornaments Of copper two and one-half
inches long by one wide. a part of the
scalp was also preserved, showing the
long black hair peculiar to the Indians.
Upon the breast rested an iron knife
completely oxidized. A piece of the
skin with the imprint of the knife was
also found The face was covered with
o mat made of the leaves of the cat-tail
rush. Birch bark was used to envelop
the head, while the whole body was
wrapped in moose skin, of which the
hair and few fragments remained upon
the breast. Outside of this skin was q
copper breast-plate, sixteen or seventeen
inches long. There was also found n
triangular hatchet like those used by
the early French settlers. .-Bangor (Me. !

of State, by order of the Sultan. and at
the request of the Sheikh. ul-lslam. BY
these regulations women are forbidden
to wear only the "tcharshaf" Ga mar

ed streets; but they may use this veil in
unfrequented streets and when paying
visits The police have strict orders to
report any infringement of this regula-
tion to the Minister of Police, with the
name of the offender. Mussulman
ladies are also forbidden to drive or
walk round the places of Bayazid, Shah
ladeBashi and Akserai. Nor will they
in future be allowed to promenade in the
Great Bazaar, or to sit down in shops.
If these rules are inlringed the drivers
