TEsrorALIsM GONE MAD.

That an unrelentiDg war should be made OH
drunkenness is not only proper but neediul
ment of hideously painted shields and the beat
ing of gOngs. legislative enactRents unsur,-
ported by public sentiment; empty assertions that
are without truth 10 sustain them; abuse of ell
who doubt the power or pTopriety OF e reigning
method and the quasi alliance with whisky
against beer-these seem 10 form the weapons Of
Neal Dow and his ce-laborers. They have been
trying for years. and what is the result? BY their
own showing more drinkers and more drunkards
than ever, except in this State, whers
they insist all is serene. Here ex-GOv-
ernor Dingley and his ink artists paint
Us rosy pictures of the Arcadian sim
plicity Of the people because OF prohibition
and the too utterly perfect sooriety that exists.
The truth throws dark shadow on their efforts
past 1t reveals the fact that the people of Msine
deprived OF the lighter drinks that temper the
habit elsewhere, have fallen back on illicit
whisky; that the trade in intoxicants is thrown
mainly without restraint or supervision into the
lowest and most irresponsible hands; that the
percentage OF drunkenness is greater there than
in the license States; that the amount Of pauper.
ism is heavier and rapidly increasing; that crimes
espsclaily OF the higner kinds are advancing at a
frightful rate; that the death rate is heavier
there than In license States; that there are more
sDic d., insanity, idiocy, blindness and bodily
detects arising from a yitisted stock, in the
former than in the latter States tSee the United
States census on this poinO, and that the
disregard OF the law among the people is engen-
dering contempt for all law and advancing gen
ecal decentralization That these men mean well
have no doubt. Macauley said of the old Pu-
Iians that they forbade bear batting, not because
Of any sympathy with the bear. but because they
hated to see the spectators enjoying themselves.
take no such cynical view of these mems efforts.
Doubtless there was an honest intent in the au-
thor of the Maine law 10 prevent, or at least TO
mitigate the evils flowing from the pernicoas
nd detestable crime OF drunkenness. But wise
man, when experience has shown that his sch e ne
only aggravateS the evils it was meant &c cure,

THE FEMALE PRINTER.

Of all the occupations which woman
can engage in for the purpose of making
an honest living, the most thankless is
that OF setting type. The female compos-
itor leads weary, dreary life. She is
never permitted to strike fat take, she
is denied the inestimable boon of setting
the thoughtful matter which emanates
from the editoria lN n, she is never reck-
oned capable of handling manuscript, and
the very idea of her being competent to
set up display head is deemed atrocious
She is expected to hammer away at mis-
cellaneous reprint, the only bonanza she
ever strikes is solid minion with an occa-
sional oasis of loaded BREWER when the
business manager concludes that adver-
tising is dull enough to admit of the big
gest kind of type. But this is not all
no, the worst remains to be told. When
the work is done for the day it is not
with the female printer as with others of
the trade. She cannot adjourn to con-
venient and comfortable saloon and play
pedro or old sledge for the beer or throw
dice for tive-cent cigars, or jeff for the
drinks. She must pick her way home
through all sorts OF weather to a dreary
room and cold bed. She has no wife TO
thrash, no children to scold, no furniture
to break-none of those sweet luxuries
which are supposed to be part and parcel
OF the glorious art preservatiye. As a
class, female printers are diligent and
worthy. They never "sojer;" they never
bother the editors Tor chewing tobacco;
they never prowl around among the ex-
changes for The Police Gazette; they
never get themselves full Of bulge and
try to clean out rival print shops; they
never swear about the business manager;
they do not smoke nasty old clay pipes;
they never strike for more pay; they do
not refer to editorial matter as "slush" or
"hog- -wash"-in short, they are patient.
gentle, conscientious and reliable. They
peg right along for seven dollars week,
dress tidily, keep solid with the foreman,
and, last of all, when the female compos-
itor gets tired of her treadmill, unceasing
round of toll, she marries the best look
ing printer in the shop and then she be-
comes verier slave than before.

DIR. David Nathan Lewis, of Louisville,
is dreadfully deformed, while Sallie John
son, of Frankfort is noted beauty. A
mutual friend desired to bring them to-
gether, in marriage, and, in order to give
the Doctor a chance to WOO successfully
in spite of his disadvantages, arranged
correspondence between them before they
met. Lewis made by his letters the good
impression anticipated, and when
the young lady at last saw him, she
was ready to overlook his un-
pleasing physique. They became en-
gagged. This engagement he broke, and
she sued him for damages. At the trial,
the defendants counsel dwelt at great
length upon the ugliness of his own eli
ent, and descanted with equal favor on
the loveliness of the plaintiff. This was
done to impress the jury that Miss John
son ought to be glad of release from
such an unsightly lover, and that it was
no damage to lose him as husband.
The verdict, however, was for So, 900.

FIRST AND SECOND DISTRICTS.

The Chicago Journal commenting up
on the new Congressional apportionment
speaks of the First and Second Districts
as follows:
The First District is substantially the
same as now, except that Waukes ha
county is exchanged for Jefferson, both
ordinarily close Democratic coun les, but
usually voting for the Republican candi
dates for Congress. The district is COM
posed Of the following counties: Jefer-
son, Kenosha, Racine, Walworth, Rock;
Republican majority in 1880, 6,019. The
district has been represented in Congress
for the past nine years by the Hon.
Charles, g. Williams, of Rock, now the
Chairman of the House Committee Oil
Foreign Affairs, and one of the best men
Wisconsin has yet sent to the front. Mr..
Williams would not object to the district
as at present constituted, were it not for
the fact that in adding Jefferson county
to his old cheat it also adds an able and
dangerous rival in the person of Hon.
Lucian B. Caswell, of Fort Atkinson,
who has represented the old Second Dis
trict almost as long as Charley Will
ans has the old First.
The Second District is made up of the
counties of Waukesha, Washington,
Fond du Lac and Dodge; Democratic
majority, 2,4O6. This will suit General
Edward S. Bragg, the present indefatig-
able Democratic member from Fond du
Lac, not only because it abbreviates his
b.. 10 Eo,, Ill
but it also removes dangerous and skill
full political rival in the person of the
Hon Joseph Rankin, of Manitowoc, who
has long been casting wisttul glances at
Bragg's seat in Congress. The new dis
trict is hopelessly Democratic, and leaves
General Bragg in disputed possession of
the field, unless the late Attorney Gen
eral of the State, Hon, A. Scott Sloan, of
Dodge, and renegade Reduplican, rises
up to contest for the supremacy.

CRANKs WRITING TO SERGEANT MASON
"A large batch of letters is received at

to Sergeant Mason, who is confined there
for shooting at Guiteau when he was act
ing as his guard. The letters are, in ac-
cordance with the rules of the Penitenti-
ary, opened by the prison officials and
perused. Such as come from his family
are given him, but the others are, as a
general thing, not of such a character as
to justify the officials in conveying
them to a person committed to their
charge. Many of them are from clanks,
and evince the existence of remarkable
number of that class of persons in the
