The Geneva correspondent of the London
Times give, startling picture Of the preva-
leuc. Of iu.auperauc' IN Switzerland. The
evil has attained such magnitude AS to create
anxiety among public men OF all classes. Al
cohoi is commonly spoken of as "the enemy"
and brandy as "eau-de mort Failures
bankruptcies and forced sales Of property are
alarmingly on the increase, accompanied by
heavy depreciation in the value of the land
Pablo ruin, il short, appears to threaten the
country for the evil affects all grades of So
ciety, ana is rife even among females. The
mayors of several towns in the Bernese Alps
have addressed report 10 the canonical gov
eminent to the above purport, and church syn
DDS are greatly exercised by the gigantic
evil. This state of things is attributed to the
repeal of the liquor laws in 1874, when, by an
alteration of the constitution, tho cantons
were deprived of the power of regulating the
traffic in drink. 1t was decided to treat in
toxicants in the same way as every other ar
ticle Of public consumption. Liberty was
given 10 evory Swis, citizen to trade without
restriction in any part Of the confederation.
The following picture is given of the results
of this policy
1.-THE traffic in strong drink instantly became as free
as tuat III uread auu meat. Previously the needs Of
the population, the character Of the applicant for Ii
cense, the suitability Of the premises the cOniguity
of the public house to churches, schools ana other
public institutions, among the preliminares dis
cussed no female was allowed to keep such house;
Licenses were granted for limited time; children
were not to be supplied with drink allowed to fire.
quent public houses, which required to be closed
the greater part Of Sundays and certain hour in
the evening with the abolition of all restriction, a
state of things has been brought about such
to threaten the very existence of the federation itself
In 1870 the ayerns numbered II 507 in 1850 they had
increased TO 81 1885, or while the population increased
but per cent the growth Of the drink shops was %
per cent In Geneva, about the most drunken city in
Europe, there is public house to every 20 inhabt-
ants; grocors aud cOnfeconers are, moreover, allow
ed to sell wines aud spirits; and it is common say
ing that there Is single house in the city (he

Grafton throughout, the proportion of public houses
] is one TO every 1870 people, Deductng women, chill
dren and the sick this means tavern 10 every 30
persons
Not only has there been a great increase of
drunkenness and crime, but there is an enor-
nous loss Of time and money spent by work
ing men in public houses, and the untold suf-
fering thereby inflicted on their families. In
view of these facts the public authorities are
/ giving their attention to the subject of restric-
/ tive legislation, which seems the only remedy
for the dangers threatening the little republic,
whose experience is a valuable lesson for all
communities on this subject

A STORY OF SUFFERING AT SEA.-The brig
Golddnder was picked up off the Delaware
coast last week with her crew in a plight
scarcely less dreadful than that described by
Culoridgo's Ancient Mariner Her captain,
who has been brought to Boston, says the
brig left Hayh for Boston with a load of log
wood last month. The crew consisted Of
himself, mate, five seamen and a stowaway.
The day after leaving the island the crew
were attacked with an epidemic fever of
which three died before reaching the Gulf
stream. Two others soon followed, leaving
the captain, mate and one old sailor to work
the brig, Terrific gales and tremendous seas
oyerlasked them, and they were nearly ex.
hausted when approaching the coast. Near
the Gulf the Goldlnder came near being run
down by a large ocean steamer. Then they
met with intense cold weather and high winds.
The topsas were blown away ice formed in
thick layers upon every part of the vessel, and
the rigging became too rigid to be moved In
this condition the brig beat before the winds.
The three men were soon frost-bitten and
helpless. They became unable to cook food,
and despairing of reaching port alive they
dropped anchor and had lain down to die
when picked up by the tug North America

WE are under obligations to Gov Tritle for a copy of the report of the Commissioners on Artesiau Water, who have just been considering the artesian wells of Sulphur SprIn gs Valley, and the claim Of MT. w. J. Sanderson as the firss to open up true Artesian wells. From the res port we make the following ex- cerpts:
 The first well finished is B feet deep and nearly six inches in diam eter. The upper end of the tube stands few inches above the ground and a steady stream of water amounting probably to 10000 or 5O,000 gallons in twenty four hours runs from It.
 Southward from this point four other wells are sunk within the dis tance of three mics. The wells vary in depth from B feet. to 83 feet. The conditions unIer which water is obtained are quite un form.
 It. Surface soil from 8 to 15 feet thick.
 2d. Tough clay, black, red, or white Tn color, according to locality, g to more than 40 feet thick.
 3rd. Sand. 2 to six feet thick.
 4th. Coarse gravel of unknown thickness. which forms the bottom of the wells, and into which the well tube IS forced about IS inches.
 The flow is steady and the water perfectly cl ar and pleasant.
 Tine water already obtained is sufficient to surply 30,OO0 head of stock and irrigateon sufficient for gardens, grain, and timber to supply the inhabitants of the valley.
 The mode of borrng these wells is first use g surface augdr similar to post hole augur till clay Is reached, then clay aneur. If very t,ugh clay is fouad sm ,ll hole is bored into it and thea reamei to the re- quired size.
 When sand is reached the well is tubed up and the tube driven through the sand which is tn re- moved from within the tube by sand pump and the tube is thea forced down into the gravel.
 Water is poured into the hole till sufh tent surface water collects to make it moist. The pipe is made If galvanized iron put into shape on ihe ground. The tools, incluiing the necessary timers tools, cosl about $500.

on Finance. The leading pronosi- ton of his bill is to do away with
 the small change of the country or
 strictly speaking to suspend all sil yer coinage, one and three dollar gold coinage, five cent and three cent nickel coinage and one cent copper coinage; furthermore all pa
 per currency under five dollars IS to
 be cancelled and not re-issued after
 January 1st, 1885. Now, Senator
 Morrlll has generally been supposed
 to be a man of sound mInd, but if by
 any circumstance an unknown farm
 CT or other humble individual sheuld be abe to introduce that same bill in Congress he would at once be pronounced insane or at least wanting In the practical com mon sense elements that enable man to successfully run ranch or be United States Senator. Smell coin is the poor man's money and is the life and vitality of financial cir culation. It is the microscopic corp uscles of the Hood wherein abide the life and vigor of the body aud not in the great ciots that circum~ stances may occasion.
 It is difficult to imagine just hat he arguments would be for inducing such constipation in the financial corporosIty Of what convenience or utility eau such an induced con- tition of finances become in bus;- ness? Less money should be in cir seems to be the idea of the bill. Whether that be a correct nos jon is question, but assuming that | is, the means suggested for the ac of financial coDtrac> ion should certainly not be such as o strike directly at the convenience md very life of the poor mans busi~ less and consequently at the busi- less interests of ninetyenine hun> lredths of the people
 To our backwoods understanding he principle of the bill seems Frong and its mode of procedure icious.

THE last Territorial Legislature surely made mistake in not provid- ing the Governor some means where by he could assist the officers of va> rious portions of the Territory Tn in putting down crime and bringing criminals to justice. As things now stand Governor Tritle is powerless fer want of funds, to do anything except ask aid from the general gov ernment. Tho Territorial govern ment ought to be first in securing peace and immunity from from TO b. bery and assassination to her citi, zons. She actually is doing and can do nothing. She ought tn be offrr- ing a thousand or two dollars for each of the robbers and assassins who have so lately terrorized the pCOplC OL LuC SOUtlCdStSIu Ol the Territory by shooting down de- fenseless citizens in pure wanton devilishness. We say the Territory ought to be first in its endeavors to rid itself of these murderous gangs. She Is not; the various counties and and companies trying 10 do business in the infested sections of the Terri tory are left to help themselves if they can. Gov Sheldon, Of New Mexico, has been favored by wise legisla- ture of that Territory with means to preserve the peace and security of the citizens of that Territory and he has made it so uncomfortable Tor the murderous robbing gangs that they seek Aarizona as place of safety and so far as the Territory is cons eerned they appear to be perfectly safe
