one who is u~nacquainted with the peculiar
properties Of the soothing syrup Of the social
city would judge that the gentlemen Of that
town INDUCED in a general jamboree on the
first Of the year.
Tice and Vennor both p%rophesied the cold
weather we have been having Of late, and
those whose interests are jeopardized by it
should cease cussing the country and turn the
walls Of their wrath upon the heads of these
weather prophets. It appears to us that it
was as convenient for them to have foretold
good weather as bad.
We are informed by T. G. Power that the
tendency of incoming shipments for the next
season is heavily in favor of the river route,
although competition will be close. The
Commodore has worked hard, and his efforts
last season gave so much satisfaction to ship
pers that they are satisfied their interests will
be better served in his hands.
From a private dispatch, received last week
by a gentleman in this town, we learn that a
man named Jack Chambers had been killed
at Miles city by another man known as Big
Frenchy. The dispatch gave no particulars
as to the manner Of the killing, or of the
provocation, if any there was, and contained
only the simple announcement Of the fact.
The drifting Of the snow by the wind Mon
day piled some Of the s'beautiful' in pro-
tected spots on the roofs Of some Of the
buildings in town, and the accumulated
weight caused part Of the roof Of I. G. Baker
& Co.'S warehouse to give way, and also that
of a shed belonging to Kleinschmidt s. Bro.
The damage was comparatively slight in both
cases.
While we are talking about q fire depart
ment, fire engines, etc.-all Of which Benton
stands in great need of-let as not forget that
more economical systems of fighting fire are
better than none. A good, courageous, en-
ergetic fire warden should at once be appoint
ed by the county commissioners, as without
doubt would be their pleasure upon receiving
the proper petition. Back the fire warden
up by public opinion. Expend one hundred
dollars for as many buckets, and organize a
bucket brigade, ready at the stroke Of q fire
bell to form in double lines for passing up
water from the river or wells, and passing
back the empty buckets, and you have a
cheap and quite effective method of putting
ont fires.

which be dipped into the opium and held
it over the lamp for perhaps 8 minute, and
then put it into the pipe. Your reporter,
curious to test It's influence and effects, laid
himself down on one of the narrow tables
covered with 8 blanket, and, placing q pillow
under his head, resigned himself to the inf1u-'
ence of the drug and the occasion. The first
impression is decidedly unpleasant, but q
very slight acquaintance with it produces a
pleasant effect of dreamy insensibility, and 3
feeling as if there was no care in this world,
nor fear of ia fascinating state OF intoxl-
cation-and perfect calmness and r%estfull-
ness, refreshing enough until its effects pass
off, when it gives place to a feeling Of tire
some lassitude, which will grow into utter
helplessness when the habit becomes settled.
A pipe gives six or eight good whiffs before
going out, when it is usually reloaded. Only
after the third or fourth pipe does there ap-
pear well-marked toxic effects, which may
be increased to insensibility.

we proceeded to the next place, on the corner
of Main and st. John streets. But your re-
porter was so much under the effects of the
drug that walking was difficult, and it was
considerable time before he could get thor
ough control OF himself. At the last place,
owing to inability to continue explorations,
we did not stay long. But a description of
it will be unnecessary, as they are all as
exactly alike as possible.
In making this investigation your reporter
was continually surprised as he learned the
number Of citizens Of this place who We're
addicted to the habit, many Of whom also
frequent these miserable dens. And it's prac-
tice is not confined to men, but even women
frequent them for hours at O time, and many
boys who are only just on the verge of man
hood slip in, when they can get some one to
pilot them, and shortly, and before they are
aware, become slaves Of the debasing drug.
Much as has been written on the opium
habit, its swift and imperceptible growth is
the ruin of nearly all who allow themselves
to use it even IS q matter Of novelty.
Generally it is formed from a mere curiosity
to try it for the sake of the novelty of the
thing, but three or four trials usually succeed
in making a victim of the unhappy wretch,
who leads the most miserable existence pos
sible to the human mind, and eventually loses
all sensibility.
Many who are not frequeEters of the dens
are confirmed opium users, and your reporter
learned Of many who were slaves to the hab
it, and gave themselves up to it in the privacy
Of their rooms, buying their opium from tn
Chinese who make opium smoking thei
principal and most profitable vocation.

THE DREAD DEED and its awful conse.
quences that are just now bearing upon oui
hearts and brains may well give us pause to
reflect that words are things. The vain
babble of the idle and the unreilecting, the
wordy eloqucncc of the weak, the vaporings
of the imaginary, are all stimulated into
action by the stronger utterances of the dis.
satisfied, the jealous and the cgotstic. Start.
ing from that grain of truth that is repre-.
sentcd or misrepresented Intentionally by
the clever trickster, or unthinkingly by
the feeble discomfort, feeling is created
which spreads widely throughout the com.
munity. The sentiment, which is despised
by the wise, and disrcgardcd by the careless
is thus seized upon by the trivial and tho
foolish Fluent words uttered in conscious
cxaggeration by brainy men in casual mo.
ments of pique, fall upon an unstable intel
lect and work it into frenzy, and as fr
removed and utterly unintentional conse.
quence the fool, or the enthusiast, performs
with bloody hand what was the mere fiction
of anothcr's fury. Reading backward
through the history of many lands, this sad
story recurs again and again with the same
invariable moral teaching, patience and
prudence to human speech.

Prohibition in North Carolina.

The address from the Republican State
Committee of North Carolina, explaining
why it opposes the ratification of the
proposed prohibitory liquor law, closes as
follows: "The question must now be de-
cided at the polls. Republicans in every
township must organize and poll full vote
against this bill as the only means of con-
demning class legislation, and to prevent
the creation of q powerful monopoly of drug
gists, apothecaries, and physicians, which is
always dangerous in Government like
ours, and should be prevented at the outset.
When this has been done, Republicans will
be ready to aid in regulating the sale of
liquor in such manner as will remedy and
correct as many abuses growing out Of the
use of liquors as can be remedied and cor
rected by legislation; abuses not remedied
or corrected by this means, being left to
those influences of society which arc more
powerful and more effective of moral pur-
poses than a thousand pages of repressive
statutes bristling all over with fines and
penalties for statutory misdemeanors, which
have been and always will be winked at and
cOndoned by the general public as one species
of violation of law which owes its criminal
ity to frailties incident to human nature"

SATURDAY, JULY g, 1881.

TODAY CLOSES THE FIRST MONTH of THE
CRITIC under the new deal. We are happy
to announce that the success of our expert
ment thus far has largely exceeded our most
sanguinc expectations. Notwithstanding
the fact that we began operations at the
outset of the season which, dull everywhere,
is always peculiarly stagnant in Washing
ton, the business of THE CRITIC, both
in circulation and advertising has
steadily grown and is now considerably
more than double what it was when we
took charge OF course there has been an
enormous increase of expense in all the de-
partments Of publication to offset the growth
of patronage. But If present indications are
criterion by which to judge of the future,
we may be assured that the year rs u whole
will show handsome balance in our favor
room for another full-blooded evening
paper in Washington. Indeed so rapidly
has our circulation increased that we have
already found it necessary to negotiate for
the construction of a fast perfecting press OF
the latest pattern, which we hope to have
ready for use by the timo Congress as.
sembles. On the whole we have every rea.
son to be gratificd at the recognition of our
efforts by the reading and business public
of Washington, and extend to them our
profound acknowledgements.

them was suspended, pending the introduc

signee, stated that there were enough claims
to be introduced of which he knew to bring
the amount to 100000 or over. Six pei
cent. of this amount would be $1S,0OO Mr.

AGAIN our national pride has been out
ragged. Gen. U. S. Grant, once President of
this country, has become so far reduced
that he Yves forced, several days ago, to buy
a pair of Hambletonian geldings for the
humiliating sum of $1,000. If George
Jones can't pay the whole amount of that
fund, why can't he give the Old Commander
little on account SO that something in the
nature Of style may be maintained.
