HIGH LICENsE.-Hon. c. F. Man
dsrson, the new Nebraska senator, says
of the liquer law of that state: "It is
the best liquor law in the United
States. The license for cities is $1,000
a year, and in small towns $500 a year.
Before it went into effect Omaha had
l60 saloons, ard some of them were
pretty bad. Now the number has been
reduced to 80, little more than one
half. When there were 100 saleons,
paying 500 year, the revenue was
yielded $16, 900; now the so under the
new law yield 100000 a year. The
new law is Of great benefit to the body
polite, in that it has cut off all the
little low doggeries, which were the
ones that made trouble, and the char
acter of the men who keep saloons il
better. The bond required of them il
$4,000; and one saloon keeper is no

Gathering SYSTEM in which he is |
pioneer in this part of the country.
Mr.. Goodwin followed on "Grass
Culture The meeting was largely
attended.
Mr.. Pember stated that the farm
ers in his section who make cheese
largely, do not prefer Jersey cows
for this purpose.
Mr.. Lane then spoke on CONNER
cial Fertilizers.
Mr.. Lane would not advise farm
ers to purchase fertilizers until they
first find whether they are wanted or
are adapted to their soils, and then
thinks that it would be better to pur-
chase grain so as to make more and
richer manure.
Mr.. Goodwin said there may be
necessity for buying some of the ell
ements found in the commercial fer
tilizers, but not all so there is the
Importance of finding out by expert
ment what is wanted by the soil be-
fore purchasing. On some farms
complete fertilizer may be wanted.
Mr. Lane said he would recommend
anything suitable as an absorbent
for the liquid manure.
In the evening, after music by a
choir, E. r. Towle spoke on the fer
tilization of pastures, which appears
to be subject of great Importance,
Judging from the interest manifested
by farmers in the discussions that
are always sure to follow.
Mr.. Morse of Cambridge gave
some valuable experience in the rem
ovation of pastures. Where they
can be plowed he considers this is
the best method to pursue. Has de-
stroyed brakes with salt. Douglas
Buck kills brakes by sailing stock on
spots covered with them. Would
not turn cattle on to newly seeded
pasture for year or two after stock
ing down.
Mr.. Davis would advise the use of
more clover in the improvement of
our farms.
Mr.. Davis next spoke on the feed
ing of cows and the production of
milk. He believes in feeding both
the land and animals well, finding in
this his profit. He stated that there
were so diaries in Vermont of Is
COWS or over, that reach an average
production of 800 pounds each. Can
feed two quarts of cotton seed meal
to a COW per day, but would not adj
wise farmers to feed as much as this
at first. Commence with q small
quantity at first and increase grad
ually.
Mr.. Pember resumed the discus
sion of the butter question. There
appeared to be much interest in this
direction, and numerous questions
were asked.
Mr.. Goodwin expressed the salts
faction of the board in coming to
this place and the interest manifest
ed by all in attendance.

THE FEROCITY OF TIGERS.

A traveller tells the following story
of the way in which one tiger terror
lied whole community:
The captain showed me the skin of
a large tiger, which, short time
since, killed three natives in four
nights in this place. The village is sur
rounded by a stockade to keep out
these ravenous beasts, and the gate
is guarded at night by native armed
with a musket
One evening this tiger stole up be-
hind the guard, sprang upon him,
and, as native said who CHANGED to
see it, killed him instantly with a
blow of her paw on the back of his
neck. She then caught him up and
ran away with him. The next day
the body was found partly eaten, and
was buried very deep to keep it out
of her reach.
The second evening she seized and
carried off a native who was bathing
in the stream at the foot of cliff.
The captain now found he must try
and destroy her, and therefore load
ed musket with very heavy charge
of powder and two bullets. The gun
was then dashed firmly to a tree, and
large piece of fresh meat was fas-
tened to the muzzle, so that when
she attempted to take it away, she
would discharge the piece and receive
both bullets. The next morning
they found piece of her tongue Oh
the ground near the muzzle of the
gun, and the same trap was set again
but the next night she came bacl
and took away a second man on guarC
at the gate of the stockade.
The captain now started with {
corporal and eight men, determined
to hunt her down. They tracked
her to place filled with tall grass
aud, closing around that, slowly ad
vanced, until two OF three of then
heard a growl, when, they all fire.
and killed her instantly. 1t prove'
to be a female, and she had evidentl
been so daring for the purpose o
procuring food for her young.

Temperance.
EAU-DE-MORT.

The Christian Union recently pub
lished some interesting letters from
eminent gentlemen upon the best
methods of dealing with intemper-
ance. The discussion must receive
a marked Impetus from the situation
in Switzerland, which is the more
striking because Europe has been
constantly cited as an illustration of
sobriety without restrictive law. A
letter to the London Times, full of
interesting details, states that drunk
enness is becoming a national peril
in Switzerland. The public fortune
is compromised by the rapid growth
of the evil habit. Failures and forced
sales of property, due to this cause,
have so increased that land is depre-
ciating in value, and it is difficult for
mortgages to find buyers or tenants.
The associated mayors in the Bernese
Jura have addressed themselves upon
the subject to the cantonal govern
ment. The Church synods loudly
condemn intemperance. The societies
of public utility and the press are
contending with the evil, and the
National Assembly has directed the
Department of the Interior to see
what can be done by restrictive leg
islation.
The increase of drunkenness dates
from 1874, when the cantons were
deprived of the power of regulating
the traffic in drink. Before that time
it was subject to many and stringent
restrictions. Now it is as free as
the trade in bread and meat. AS a
result of the removal of the restric-
tons, the number of public-houses
or drinking shops has risen from
17,S07 in 1870 to 21,738 in 1880.
The population has increased by six
per cent, the drinking shops by
twenty-five. In Geneva they are as
numerous as all other shops together.
In parts of the country forty to sixty
per cent. of all the crimes can be
traced to the habit of drink.
More than all other evils which the
general dram-drinking produces is
the waste of wages and time. Some
curious figures are given from the
account-books of liquor-sellers. One
man earned in week % francs 60
centimes, and spent 20 francs GEN.
times for drink, thus carrying home
3 francs 55 centimes-say seventy
cents-for his weeks wages. One
week the book of a liquor-seller, who
was also a contractor, showed that
his men had drunk up more than
their wages, and began the next
week with a balance against them.
The remedy for this alarming evil
is the revision of the constitution
and the restoration to the cantons OF
the regulation of the traffic. The
facts are significant evidence OF
the value of its careful restriction

SHREWDNESS OF RUMSELLERS.-We
are told on the highest authority
that the children of this world are
wiser than the children of light. This
truth applies with force to the move
ments of rum-sellers as compared with
those of many temperance men. The
sellers know that it would be
folly to form separate political par
ty, and would prove an entire waste
of labor. They are not so stupid as
to do so. They take the shrewder
course of moulding the existing
parties. In this they have been en-
inently successful. They are a mere
minority of the whole people, or as
compared with the great body of
temperance men, but their frmness
and sagacity gives them great power.
If temperance men would adopt a
similar course, and all of them adhere
as firmly to their principles as the
rum-sellers do to their interests, they
too could mould one or both parties,
and being more numerous than rum
sellers, could sweep the traffic from
the nation.
Tobacco was introduced into Eng
land from Virginia in 1853.

A STREET CAR INCIDENT.

Not long ago an incident took
place in one of the Sixth Avenue
cars in New York, which is worth
mentioning.
The car contained a dozen passen-
gers, all of whom were men, with
the exception of one, who was boy.
Immediately opposite the boy, who
occupied one corner, sat man whose
countenance was compendium of
malignity.
He looked as though all the worm
wood of existence had flowed through
a tunnel into the cracks and crannies
of his face. Suddenly, the boy,
whose face was bright contrast to
that of his opposite neighbor, began
whistling "Shoo, fly"
1t has been said that the first Ma
poleon foamed at the mouth at the
sound of church bells in the country.
Premonitory symtems of such crisis
came over the man | have been describ-
ing at the first notes of this popular
classic.
"Shut up" he screamed. ''What
do you mean! Shut up!'
This was said in a tone of indie
scribable malignity, and loud enough
to be heard by all the passengers.
The poor boy, completely abashed,
"shut up" But one of the nearest
passengers, seeing how matters stood,
fixed his eyes upon the man, and
with firm, even flow of the breath,
commenced whistling the obnoxious
air.
The joke seemed to spread. One
after another the passengers, fixing
their eyes on the wretched 'churl'
joined in the melody, until, when the
refrain. ''Shoo, fly, don't boddel
me-" came in, the boy who had been
rebuked ventured to lift up his voice
and whistle to his hearts content.
And the car went rafting along
the avenue, the atmosphere around
it ringing with the whistles of nearly
a dozen manly mouths.
To describe the rage and bewilder-
ment that succeeded each other over
the countenancc of the victim would
be difficult task. At length, I'M
able to bear it any longer, he jumped
up, took the number of the conductor.
and, swearing he would have him
discharged for allowing his car to be
filed with public nuisances, plunged
off while the vehicle was in full
motion.

THE STRENGTH OF PLAIN
STATEMENT.

The first valuable power in rea-
sonabIe mind, one would say. was
the power of plain statement, or the
power to receive things as they be-
fall, and to transfer the picture of
them to another mind unaltered. It's
a good rule of rhetoric which Schlegel
gives-''In good prose every word
is UNDERSIGNED - which, I suppose,
means never italicize. Spartans,
stoics, heroes, saints, and gods use
a short and positive speech. They
are never off their centers. As soon
as they swell and paint and find truth
not enough for them, softening of
the brain has already begun. 1t seems
as if imitation were a disease incident
to too much use of words: and the
remedy lay in recourse to things. l
am daily struck with the forcible I'M

literary habits. The low expression
is strong and agreeable. The citizen

TOBACCO.

Every unprecedented mind must be
convinced that the use of tobacco is
not for the glory of God; and if not
for his glory, then it is morally aorong.
This being the case, what should be
done? Plainly and distinctly every
one who is guilty should cease from
the evil. There is no choice here,
no opinion here; the thing is wrong ;
therefore forsake it. Do you plead
the inveteracy of habit? This is no
excuse; evil is no excuse for evil.
Yea, the stubbornness of the habit
proves the greatness of the wrong.
The confirmed gambler and drunkard
are doubly guilty. If you have sold
yourself to despot, and cannot es-
cape, that is your own fault. But
you can escape. The most besotted
drunkards have broken away from
their cups; the most obdurate smok-
ers have broken away from their to-
bacco. You can do the same. That
it will require an effort, is no doubt
true. Yet the greater the struggle
the greater the good. Try to be men
men with good conscience, loving
heart, a strong will. How the sou
is belittled when held to vice. Dc
you not have feeling of self-con
tempt because of your slavery? SEE
how your life may be heightened
your soul strengthened, God glorified
by your successful conquest. Expe
the evil from your system by tota
abstinence, by healthy diet, by ;
self-denial that will not give way
Simply trust in the Omnipotent ant
do your duty.
To all young men who have com
mcnced the use of tobacco, | woul,
say, flee from this baneful snare
You can now escape from the enem,
