EDITOR or THE BrLLETIN ~
VIII you allow Inc to correct an
error or two in your article of Fri
day, under the title of g. Prohibl-
tom" SO far rs. relates to Temper
ance in Ohio? 1t is not correct to
say that 7" since 1871, the law in re-,
gard to the sale of liquors was
strictly prohibitory." The "Adair
Law" SO called, prohibited the sale
of intoXlcants to drunkards, and to
minors but it afforded no restraint
upon making drunkards OF moderate
drinkers, or any over 2l years of
age. 1t provided penalties for speci-
tic damages resulting from the sale.
Wives might recover damages for
sale to their husbands, after having
notified sellers not to sell to them,
for a disregard of their wishes.
Further than that, there was no pro-
hibition of the sale. A good many
recoveries have been made under
the law; but it cannot be said that it
has ever been generally enforced.
The "Smith bill " of the last
Legislature, to which you refer, only
has reference to the desccration of
the Sabbath. The "Pond bill," so
called, provided for taxing saloons
and retailers, from 200 to 800 dollars
annually, according to the grade Of
the city or town where they existed,
and fixed penalty for selling with
out having paid the tax. A large
number, especially in the principal
cities, promptly paid the tax, and
went on with their destructive work.
But the Supreme Court of the State
has declared the Pond law unconsti-
tutional. The State Constitution pro-
hibits the licensing of liquor sellers /;
and the Court decided that the tax
ing was a virtual licensing, andi
therefore unconstitutional. Ofcourse
the taxes already paid must be
refunded.
The last Legislature also passed a
law allowing local option'' in
cities or towns where colleges are
located. That is, a majority of the
voters of such towns may direct
councils to pass ordinances entirely
suppressing the sale of intoxicants
within their boundaries. That is
the extent of prohibition by law in
Ohio.
You are right in surmising that tie
prohibition. question is to be promi-
nent in the politics of Ohio here
after. And the same is true as to
many other States. AN OH1oAN.
Our thanks are due to {" An
Ohioan for the information he
affords upon the situation in his
State in regard to the liquor ques-
ton. We obtained our supposed
statement of facts in regard to Pro-
hibition in Ohio, from an Eastern
journal, the editor of which appears
to have been no better informed than

Miners Luck.

Mr.. Richard Knowles, o prominent
miner of the Gunnison country. in
Colorado, said to a reporter: While
l Was yet at Leadville a man came up
there from Denver named De1ter-Jim
Dexter they called bin ! he was full
Of life and hope. and had some money.
Dexter looked about hm for q while,
and finally bought a claim on Carbonate
Hill, which had, at that time,
not been p%rospected very we'll.
He paid, 1 think, about :l5,CT'
for it, and set to work putting in
mach merry and sinking the shaft, which
was { ready down some 100 feet or more.
he Worked away on the mine, people
laughing q. him a good deal, bnt he
never once lost heart. The mine had
not shown up a single thing. n the way
by that time several hundred feet.
Dexter did not know what to do. he
had now spent nearly all the money he
had, and nothing was coming in. One
day in the early part OF the year 1879
a party came to him and asked
him what he would take for his
mine. Dexter told him, and a
bargain Was made between them.
The price paid was, I think, $50, 600,
some So, 900 more than Dexter had spent
on it altogether. he was mighty glad
to get the $50. 900, and thought himself
we'll out of a bad bargain. He rushed
out to Carbonate hill and ordered the
miners to drop their tools and quit
work. This was about 8 o'clock in the
afternoon. He said: Boys, l have sold
this hole, and l don't want you to work
another minute in it for me. l will pay
you off right now and you can quit
Well. the miners had just finished a
drill and were going to place a blast and
uncover some rock, and they asked to
be allowed to finish 1t before they quit
work. NO. said Dexter. come ont, ]
don't want you to work ano more; there
is nothing in the old hole They re-
Iuctantly quilted and departed. Dexter
got his money and was happy.
Well, the mine had been bought by a
stock company. and in a short time
they began work on it. Now, young
man, what am gong TO tell you is the
solemn TRUTH" said the miner. "Thoee
fellows went up there to that mine and
laid l. fuse to the blast left by Dex'er's
nlen and touched it off. After the smoke
cleared away they went in to see how
much r; OK had been loosened, when
what do you thinkP There before their
eyes they saw the richest body of silver
ore which has ever been seer since the
world began. At that time hundreds of
thousands OF dollars met the gaze Of the
delighted owner of the richest kind OF
ore. Well, young fellow" continued
MI. Knowles, "that mine was the cele-
bra.ed Robt. E. Lee, which has made
rich who has had anything
to do with it since Jimmy Dexter sold
it. Millions of dollars have been turned
out of it, and it is the greatest silver
mine in the world

HCranksN i'm New York.

A New York correspondent AYERS that
"two of the prominent citizens of New
York are nos generally known to be in
sane-not hopelessly, perhaps, but posi-
lively. One is q lawyer whose services
are 80 mu.h in demand that he has been
paid a $4,000 fee within a year fol-
pleas in court since his reason went
aStray. He holds a prominent public
office. The other is a bank president
and a most capable fnsncier. He has
not walked a block in the street for six
years, for he imagines that he is a cherry
and if he is exposed the birds will cal
him! In this delusion he is immov-
able. and &C '~ordingly he always rides
TO and from the bank in o close car
riage, and never exposes himself out OF
doors. On all other matters he is per.
tectly sane, and his counsel is taken in
the investment of millions on millions.

must seem as if a good many New

A Remarkable Adventure.

The mail steamer Curlew, just IN rom
tho west cast, brings an account OF q
strange and unique adver ture. A seal
ing captain, named James Babbitt, o
native OF Buergo, h. F., who had been
somewhat successful among the oil
fields the past spring, went to Sydney,
@, B., to purchase q fishing schooner
Having secured q vessel OF about sixty
tons burden he looked around tor a
crew, but could not succeed in getting
q seaman for love or money. he then
boldly determined to put to sea alone
aud navigate his vessel down to New
foundland. He left Sydney on the I'D,
and all went we'll with him till the
morning of the 9th, when, requiring
sorle refreshment, he lasbed his helm
and went below to boil the teakettle.

leaving the captsin behind. The

of water. He had nc food and not q

any sign of approaching succor.

Corner in the Sardine Market.

There is danger Of q corner in the
sardine market. For two years the fish
have failed to make their appearance of
the coasts of Europe, thereby inaicting
q loss upon Brittany alone of not less
than Is, OOO, 600 francs. The cause OF
their non.appearance has been made
the subject of a discussion in the
Academy of Sciences at Paris, and has
occupied the attention of some OF the
leading French svans One thinks
that unusual winds have driven the
diminutive fish whic'. serve as food
for the sardine out of their regular
course, and that the sardine has been
compelled thereby TO make the same
deviation. Others r Of the opinion
that vast ice fields coming from the
north have affected the current OF The
Gulf stream, by which the sardine is
supposed TO be drawn to the coasts
where it is caught. If this cause, what
ever it be, is merely of 3 Temporary
character, We may see q good haul, and
possibly q very large n in the next
seaso,,. Otherwise this widely con.
sumed article Of food may become
seriously scarce.
