whisky Deaths.
Teller.

We consider Lewiston healthy
place, provided people observe the or
binary laws of health. Several OF our
old residents have succumbed 10 the
grim monster and been carried to the
cemetery on the hill. OF these not
less than Ia have come to their death
from diseases induced by the habitual
and excessive use of whisky and other
alsoholic stmulants and dissipation.
Some of these were among our most
prominent and influential men, and
while in the vigor Of manhood. An
old citizen who has watched the pro-
gress of events, the other morning said
to us. that nne-tenths of all the deaths
among adults in our city were directly
the result of excessive whisky dtink
ing, and upon reflection we are in
clined to believe his statement true.
This is a sad reflection, and should be-
come warning to all young men who
are forming the habits OF drinking and
dissipation. Somebody Is Responsible
for this excessive indulgence ia han-
it that forebodes death at premature
age. Who are they3

SOUTHERN New JERSEY SINKING
Prof. Geo. n. Cook, State Geologist of
New Jersey, concludes that the land
IN Cape May and Cumberland counties
is gradually but certainly sinking.
From knowledge now in his possession
he estimates that the surface has set
tied about eight feet, during the last
100 years. During a recent visit he
declared it his intention to test the
matter by placing stone posts in the
ground at certain localities, a rec I'd
of which should be kept so as to in
sure their being found at any future
time, said stones to be so set and
marked with reference to their hight
above the sea level thai it may be pos
itively ascertained whether this por-
ton of the State is becoming lower,
and at what rate.

CONVENTION OF COTTON PLANTERS

The cotton planters of the South are to
meet II Atlanta ON the 9th OF December.
The delegates at large from Texas are Gov.
crnor o, NJ. Roberts, w. w. Lang, Wade
Hill, w, l.. Moody, w. II. McAlpin, Ash.
bel Smith, A. A. Pittuck and William C.
Walsh, Commissioner Of Agriculture. An
effort will be made to make this meeting
the event of the Exposition. We trust the
Convention will be well attended. Ifcm.
pire ever rested upon the shoulders of any
particular individual or class, the empire of
the South rests upon her planters. We are
apeculiarly agricultural people and doubt
less will be for a generation to come, and TO
bring the Southern States up to their highest
possible state of cultivation is the work be-
fore us to-day. From the earliest ages of
the world the pursuit of agriculture has
ever been regarded as not only in the
highest degree honorable, but necessary for
the sustcnance of the State. Zoroaster, the
apostle ofthe Persans, held II higher than
religion. In his Zendavesta occurs this
wise and benevolent maxim: Gle who
sows the ground with care and diligence
acquires q greater stock of religious merit
than he could gain by the repetition of ten
thousand prayers" Artaxerxes, whose
reign in Persia forms memorable era in the
history of the East and of the Roman En-.
pirc, fully recognized the power of agricul-
ture in ilourishing state. Till the
the last period Of the Persian
monarchy, his code Of laws was respected
as the ground work of their civil and re-
ligious policy. Several Of his, sayings are
preserved. One of them in particular dis.
covers a deep insight into the constitution
of government. 1.-THE authority of the
Prince" said he, must be defended by a
military force; that force can only be main.

THE following description of some of the
pcculiarities in the style of oratory of a
great man, is interesting, but somewhat
contradictory of the popular ideas; "When
Gladstone rises to speak he clasps his hands
behind his back. This attitude prevails,
however, only during the opening sentences.
Once warmed up, his gestures are rapid al
most furious. When addressing the House
of Commons, he will take the brass. bound
box on the table as representative of 'the
right honorable gentleman" or "the noble
lord opposite and beat it violently with
his right, OR, standing with his heels
closely pressed together, and feet spread
fan-wise, so that he may turn as on pivot,
to watch the effect of his speech, he will as
sumo that the palm of his left hand is his
adversary Of the moment, and straightway
beats upon it with his right hand with the
utmost lcrocity."

Treasurer in New York the other day, wa,
one of the principal spies on
Mr.. Platt in the late Senatorial contest
in the Empire State, and one of the
chief instruments of Platt's defeat. IIus.
ted's defeat is now said to be purely on ac.
count of that step-ladder affair and shows
healthy state of public sentiment
which as heartily condemns the man
who plays the spy in hunting up
filthy scandal, as it does the man who fur.
nishcs the occasion for such a scandal. Mr.
Hustcd's defeat is directly traccable to this
affair, because he ran long ways behind
his associates on the ticket.
