DoEs the young man who presists
in being a loafer ever reflect how
much less it would cost to be a de-
cent, respectable man? Does he i'm
agine that loaferism is more cconom-
ical than gentility? Anybody can
be a gentleman, if he chooses to be,
without much cost, but it is mighty
expensive being a loafer. 1t costs
time in the first place-days, weeks
and months of it. In fact, about all
the time, for no man can be first
class loafer without devoting lis
whole time to it. The occupation,
well followed, hardly affords time for
eating, sleeping, drive had almost
said drinking, but on reflection we
will except that. The loafcr finds
time to drink whenever invited, at
the cost Of friends. Once fully en-
barked on the sea of loafcrdom, and
you bid farewell to every friendly sail

innate flag, Your consorts will only
be the buccaneers of society. 1t cost.
money, for though the loafer may moi
earn a cent or have one for months
the time lost might have procured
him much money if devoted to in
dustry instead Of sloth, 1t cost,

pleasures of living,--honor, dignity

II has been frequently charged by
the whiskey men of Osceola, who
knew no better, Of course, that Mis-
sissiPpi county was the only county
in which prohibition was agitated to
any extent. The following clippings
from exchanges received this week,
which is only a fraction of what has
been done and published in all parts
of the state every week during the
past twelve months, and the work
increasing daily, may serve to con-
vince these skeptics, that the pro-
hibition movement is not confined to

Selma, Drew county, has petition
ed the circuit judge to prohibit the
sale Of intoxicating liquors within
three miles of their church, Dem.
Three petitions were granted by
Judge Sanders, prohibiting the sale
of intoxicating liquors within three
miles of Cypress school and church,
Of Poplar Grove Union church, and
the Marvell church and school house.
This order will take effect the lst of

was signed by 624 against 100. So

We have also seen the order Of
court, as published in the Guard,
prohibiting the sale of whisky, not
only in the town of Batesville, but
within the prescribed limits of nearly
every church and school house in the
county Of Independence. When we
take into consideration the fact that
Independence county was represent
ed in the last Legislature by an anti
temperance representative, and that
the leading newspaper of the county,
which is edited by that same repre-
sentative, has been waging war on
the temperance advocates and bitter
ly opposed to prohibition-throwin
its weight and influence on the side
of whiskey, it must be conceded that
the people are awake upon the sub
iect, and that prohibition is taking
deep root among the people.

Temperance Law Revision.

The committee appointed by the Legisia-
 ture to consider the revision of the license
 laws met in the Mayors office, Bridgeport at
 half-past ten yesterday morning, to hear the
 parties interested There were quite num-
 Der present State Attorney Fessenden was
 the first person heard in relation to the mat
 ter. He thought that in prosecutions for
 violations of licenses, the United States h-
 censei should be admitted as primo .facae
 evidence that the dealer was selling under
 government license previous to taking out town license. He was in favor of amending the present law so that a license should be granted only to every one thousand inhabi- tants, but thought such an amendment could not be carried through the Legisla- ture.
 Edward McCarthy, of New Haven, a whole sale and retail liquor dealer, was the next witness. He said he represented the Liquor Dealers association, and was in favor of li- cense law that should be uniform in all it's provisions. He wished the local option clause preserved.
 MT. M. Zunder, of New Haven, was next called upon, and said that he thought the prohibitionists, by constantly tampering with the law, were more responsible for the exis- tence of the low saloons than anyone else. If the commission would frame popular law, it would be enforced and good people would help to enforce it.

Masked Burglars at Work.
 DETROIT, Dec. 15.-Last night seven masked burglars seized the lone night police man at St. Clair, Mich, and carried him to the door of the First National bank in that place and under threats of death ordered him to unlock the doors, as they supposed he had the key. He did not, however, and they subsequently, gained entrance by rear window and made three attempts to blow open the safe, keeping the policeman bound and gagged in the meantime. The safe door is still closed and cannot be opened, so it is not known whether. they got anything or not. All were masked and were not designa- ted by name, but each had 8 number by which he was addressed by his companions. Two escaped to Canada in small boat. The other five are still lurking about St. Clair.

 Killed by a Boar.
 Washington Wilson, of Linden, N. J., at tempted to drive number of hogs into a field about two weeks ago. There was among them large and ugly boar and Mir. Wilson struck it severe blow with the butt of 8 heavy whip. The boar at once turned upon and attacked him, tearing his thigh open with its tusks. The wound penetrated to the bone. Nothing daunted, MT. Wilson struck it second time and raised his boot to kick it in the head. As he did so the brute caught his foot in its mouth and crushed it. He was compelled to take refuge in a corn-crib, at the door of which the infuriated beast mounted guard over him. The boar was subsequently, enticed away short distance, but as Mir. Wilson left the crib he turned up- on him again and pursued him to the door of the house. Medical assistance was procured and everything possible was done for the sufferer, but lookjaw set in and on Monday Mr. Wilson died.

One Effect of the Temperance Agitation.
 BOSTON, Dec 15.-An the hotels at St. Albans, Vt, have closed their doors against the travelling public. This move is the re- suit of the temperance movement which has been going on. The proprietors claim that they cannot run their houses except at a loss unless they are allowed to sell liquor and that the temperance committee has discriminated against them in it's operation. A meeting of citizens will be held Monday night to discuss the matter, for as things now stand there is no entertainment for man nor beast at the hotels. The feeling runs high on either side.
