Settling the License Question.

Tbe little town of Clayton, about twenty miles below Camden, N. J., has just settled the liquor question in an original and effec- tive way. The proprietor of the only pub lie house in the place had considerable stock of wine and spirits which he was un- willing to throw away and was licensed to sell. Upon this presentation of facts, the people formed Temperance Hotel Con- pany with a capital of $s,o0o, divided into $1O shares, bought the public house and all its belongings, including liquor license. The people gathered in Q vacant lot behind the town hall, the Doxology was sung and the liquor was poured upon blazing boE- fire. The Temperance Hotel Company is prepared to pursue the same course when ever it becomes necessary in the future.

All this happened more than year before I saw Katy; but we three factory girls, !" who lodged at Mrs. .Howel's with her, Of course knew nothing about it. She came to the factory and applied for work. The Superintendent thought her too delicate for such labor, but she persisted; and, in fact, she improved in health, spirits and looks after she became used to the work and sim pie fare of the factory girls.
 She was stranger to us all, and it seem> ed likely that she would remain so. But one day Mary Bascom's dress caught in a part of the machinery, and before any one else could think what to do, Katy had sprung to her side and pulled her away by main strength from the terrible danger that threatened her. After that Mary and Lizzie Payne and I, who were her dearest friends, were Katy's sworn allies.
 We all lodged together then in the big :" Factory Boarding House." But Katy took it into her head that we should have so much nicer times in private lodging to our sefves and when she took anything into her head she generally carried it through. In less than week she had found the very place she wanted, arranged matters with the Superintendent, and had us sheltered under Mrs. Howel's vine and fig tree. We four girls were the proud possessors of a tolera- bly, large, double-bedded apartment, with a queer little dressing room attached - " and the liberty of the pallor to receive callers 1T" "a proviso at which we all lauched.
 This was "home" to us after the labor of the day Indeed and in truth, Katy made the place 50 charming that we forgot we were factory girls" when we got to it. She improvised cunning little things out of trifes that are usually thrown away as useless, and the flowers growing in broken pots in our window were glory to behold. She al- ways had 8 fresh book or periodical on our table and better than this, she brought to us the larger cultivation, and the purer taste, which taught us how to use oppor- tpnities within our reach.

The company's expenses during the last nine years have averaged $27,614 year.

THE PANAN1A CANAL.

The admirable letter (now made public) in which Secretary Blaine writing to the Amer ican Minister in London, defines the policy of the United States government as regards the construction of an inter-oceanic canal meets with much approval in this country. In that letter Gall whom 1t may concern" are told in language which, though polite, is not to be misunderstood, that the United States having guaranteed, by the treaty with Co., lombia made in 1846, the freedom of the worlds commerce across the Isthmus in time of peace, by any canal or land way which should be constructed, as it did the territori- al sovereignty of Colombia, under the treaty, from aggression or interference of any kind, this government will consider any movement on the part of foreign powers to supplement any such guarantee on the part of the United States as an uncalled for intrusion into 8 field where the local and general interests of the United States must be considered before those of any other power save those of Co., lumbia alone.
 The comments of the London Times on this declaration are interesting, and though the Tunes is not of course an organ of the British government, what it says is impor tant. The Times very frankly says: No one will questiu D the right of the United States to take precautions so that the canal shall not be used in any way hostile to them. So far as MT. Blaine's letter is an argument for the neutrality of the canal it is unanswera- ble." The Times, however, cannot see why there should be any repugnance to al lowing England or France to join in guarantee, or why it should be contend ed that an eficaciously perfect neutrality was provided by the treaty with Colombia. And it concludes it's remarks as follows: ''It seems, to say the least, to be an unhappy use of language to describe the sincere CO., operation of the European governments in common object as of the nature of an ali ance against the United States Any state ment hereafter made by Mir Lowell of the views of his government in regard to the matter, which has almost ceased to be purely matter of abstract politics, will command attention, but he must expect to find Eng hshmen quite unprepared to see any great difference between the position of Nicaragua and that of Panama, and at loss to con- ceive what injury American interests could suffer from a general compact to secure the neutrality of pathway which, in the inter est of the whole world, should be placed out side of the region of warfare"
 This is spacious reasoning, but it will not convince the people of the United States that the pretensions of any European power to an equal voice with the United States in the control of an intero-ceanic canal ought to be recognized The policy of this govern ment, as stated by Mr. Blaine, will unques- tionably be maintained, and foreign powers will have to make the best of it.

The managers of one of the New York ele- vated railroads have been trying motor operated by compressed air, and it is said to have worked quite successfully. The New York papers see in this motor possible es- cape from several nuisances, such as smoke, gas, bad odors and noise. The He1azd says ::
 "Compressed air would do away with all of them, for, as it is supplied in strong tanks or boxes at the place of starting, no fire is re- quired on the engine. There would be no more complaints of dirty water falling from engines and spelling the clothing and tenn There is every economic reason why the elevated railroad companies should not neglect this new possibility of changing their motive power, for if compressed air can be used some dead weight now existing in the shape of furnace and coal can be dispensed with, and the engines be made stronger in proportion to their weight; risks of explosion will decrease, expense on account of fuel will be saved and public feeling toward the roads, which has aa important bearing financially, will improve. Further reports upon compressed air motors will be awaited with interest," The compressed air motor invented by Mr. Henry Bushnell, of this city, would be just the thing for use on the elevated roads. That it will do all that was claimed for it has been clearly demonstrated by the successful trials which have been made of it.

The city of Boston Gowns and controls it's water supply and the Boston papers nowa- days contain numerous complaints against the management For instance, "A Common Sufferer" writes to the AdUertiser: F'Why should not the waterworks be turned over to a private corporation, as in London? Be as- sured private company, whose income and dividends would depend on their furnishing good water, would shortly find means of pu- rifcation. Nor need there be any practical commercial difficulty in the matter. Mir. Kidder or MT. Jordan could form syndicate in week to take the whole works at cost, with the agreement to furnish the citizens with pure water, or exact no water rates.' It is quite possible that stcity management of water in New Haven would be no more pop ular than such management appears to be in Boston.

Andrew Benson, of Eureka county, Nevada, has been conducting during the past two years series of experiments of importance to the whole State, and conveying a useful suggestion to the whole country. His object has been to ascertain what kind of trees can be successfully cultivated in Nevada, and under what conditions they will best thrive. He has planted more than 5000 trees, of fourteen varieties. His seed planting has not been successful. owing to the frosts which prevail the year round. Mir. Benson has found that, after the native cotton wood, the poplar is the tree which grows best. Of 800 walnut trees set out last spring only three have died, and there is reason to hope that this valuable growth will survive the winter in good condition. An orchard of 100 fruit trees, including apple, pear, plum and cher ry, is doing finely. When his experiments have been satisfactorily concluded, MT. Ben son intends to set out annually from 5000 to 10, GOO trees of those varieties which promise the best results.
