Infoy,, In, Hack Ordinances.

As rule, the hackmen Of Dallas are
urbane and accommodating in their man
ner, but now and then the misconduct 1
one invites and begets trouble on the
others. Last night a gentleman with an
elderly lady and little child, guests OF the
Grand Windsor hotel, drove up to the
LeGrapd entrance and found hack,
No. 90, in full possession OF the
position, Approaching an individual
standing near. presumably the driver, ne
up a few steps so that the lady and child
might be landed in front of the entrance;
the reply came that sit can't be driven up,
the horses are hitched." Inquiring for the
driver the said individual retorted that she
was the driver" and sailed forth into the
saloon. The gentleman requested friend
near by to call policeman,
that the ordinance might be
enforced. Before the arrival OF the
latter, the hack driver OF NO. W with PAD
grace and great reluctance came from the
saloon aud finally drove up two or three
feet. The question now arises; LIST, is an OBJ
streperous hack driver privileged to so block
AIDE the ladies' entrance OF leading hotel,
with his hack and ''hitched horses" as to
force ladies arriving in a private vehicle to
be landed in front OF some other place; Znd,
is hack driver permitted TO hitch his
horses to the sidewalk and meander into q
saloon when ladies in their carriage have to
await his pleasure in the matter?
The case of hack No. 80 with its driver will
be duly and specifically attended to. But
in the general interest we will begin from
this on to press for the full requirements of
the law relating to hacks and heretofore,
because of the cleverness of so many OF the
drivers, so indulgently looked over.

THE EASTERN STANDARD AL.
MANIAC.

The first almanac in which the predic-
tons are given in standard time was
published Saturday by Hoyt, Fogg "
Donham of Portland, and entitled the
Eastern Standard Almanac. The tables
begin with December, 1888, and extend
through the year 1884. Mr.. Hoyt, the
editor of the well known Maine Year
Book, is also the editor of this timely
almanac, which besides the calendar
pages contains much valuable informa-
ton concerning the National and State
governments, the 18th Congress, the pos
tai laws, the churches, societies and pub
lie institutions Of Maine, problems in
standard time and other interesting mis-
cellany. The computations have been
made under the competent direction Of
DR.. Thomas Hill, who contributes an in
teres,ing and instructive preface. Through
the enterprise Of Messrs. Hoyt, Fogg Il
Donham, Maine people may now ascer-
tain the clock time of sunrise, sunset,
moon rise, and high water, without per-
forming any little exercises in mental
arithmetic. For sale at the book stores,

are imperfectly performed and there is
perceptible loss of mental power and of
moral tone. The drinker is not conscious
Of this loss but those who know him
best are painfully aware that his percep-
tions are less keen, his judgments less
sound, his temper less serene, his spiritu-
al vision less clear, because he tarries ev-
cry day little too long at the wine.
Even those who refuse to entertain ascot
ic theories respecting these beverages may
be able to see that there are uses Of them
that stop short Of drunkenness, and that
are still extremely hurtful to the mind
and the heart as well as the body. That
conventional idea of moderation, to which
Sir Henry Thompson refers. is quite elias
tic; the term is stretched 70 cover habits
that are steadily despoiling the life OF its
rarest fruits. The drinking habit is often
defended by reputable gentlemen to whom
the very thought OF debauch would be
shocking, but to whom, if it were only
lawful, in the tender and just solicitude
Of friendship, such words as these might
be spoken 1t is true that you are not
drunkards, and may never be but if you
could know, what is too evident to those
who love you best, how your character is
slowly losing the frmness Of its texture
and the fineness OF its outline how your
art deteriorates in the delicacy Of its
touch; how the atmosphere of your life
seems to grow murky and the sky lowers
gloomily above you,-you would not
think your daily indulgence harmless in
its measure. 1, is in just such lives as
yours that drink exhibits some Of its
most mournful tragedies.

THE SPIRITUAL EFFECTS OF
DRUNKENNESS.

An editorial in Topics of the Time, y
of the December Century says:
"This loss of self-respect, the lowering
of ambition, and the fading out of hope
are signs of the progress of this disease
in the character. 1t is mournful spec
tacle-that of the brave, ingenious, high
spirited man sinking steadily down into
the degradation of inebriety; but how
many such spectacles are visible all over
the land And it is not in the character
of those alone who are notorious drunk
ards that such tendencies appear. They
are often distinctly seen in the lives Of
men who are never drunk. Sir Henry
Thompson's testimony is emphatic to the
effect that the habitual use of fermented
liquors, to an extent far short of what is
necessary to produce intoxicatioD, Injuries
the body and diminishes the mental pow
err If, as he testi6es, a large proportion
of the most painful and dangerous mala-
dies of the body are due to the use Of
fermented liquors, taken in the quantity
which is conventionally deemed moderate,
then it is certain that such use of them,
must result also in serious injuries to the
mental and moral nature. Who does not
know reputable gentlemen, -physicians,
artists, clergymen even,-who were new
er drunk in their lives, and never will be,
but who reveal, in conversation and in
conduct, certain melancholy effects Of the
drinking habit The brain is 80 often
inAamed with alcohol that its functions

year came the Oxford bears to Portland,
headed by the Hon. Noah Prince, and
nominated that sturdy old Roman, An
son P. Morrill,, for Governor. From that
time there was no more union in the
party.
Mr. Hamlin was the noted leader of
the Wilmot Proviso wing, and it was
proper he should lead party who had
adopted the free soil resolutions of the
Democratic State Convention in ls49.
From the platform he looked our people
in the face and told them what his party
proposed to do. There was no evasion
or concealment he never had two sets
Of principles or candidates. Second choic-
es had no place in his political creed.
His opponent, the Hon. Samuel Wells,
was Governor of the State, an honorable,
able man who came to Hallowell, Maine,
from New Hampshire and as wing had
represented that town in the legislature.
He changed his politics and was one Of
the leaders of his party in Kennebec
county. He was Judge of our Supreme
Court from lS47 to 1853. He was
boy in comparison with his opponent as
political campaigner; his voice was
hardly heard amid the applause of the
people for Hamlin who beat him by
twenty.six thousand votes. Gov. Wells
left the State and died in Boston.
This election had much to do in per-
manently establishing the Republican
party. Mr.. Hamlin was returned to the
Senate, became Vice President and after
wards served twelve years in the Senate.
But for Massachusett influence he would
have been reelected Vice President in
1864. That State preferred Andrew
Johnson and secured his nomination.
A few more words in regard to Mr..
Hamlin. He was the coolest and most
ssgacious political leader ever knew.
His physical endurance was remarkable.
Fatigue to him at such times was
stranger. His memory of men was Won
derful. sometimes think that he was
personally acquainted in every town in
Maine. The last time he was nominated
for Senator he did not want to be can
didate, but his close political friends
made personal appeal to him not to
decline and he was not the man to resist
such an appeal. That the duties Of SEN
ator were no sinecure to him is shown by
the statement to me from his own lips
that he never retired to bed at night with
an unanswered letter on his table where
an answer was required. To do this four
hours of every day of his public service
was consumed In addition he attended
to the business of his constituents at the
various departments. To him it mat
tered not who the constituent was, DEM
ocrat or Republican, rich or poor he was
there to attend to his wants. Is it any
cause for wonder that he is to-day re-
spected and honored BY men of all par
ties in Maine

STRANGE MARRIAGE FOR A RE-
FINED YOUNG LADY.
ERIE, Pa, Dec. 2.
WIN. II. SMITH.

ERIE, Pa, Dec. 2.
A young lady Of refined appearance,
giving the name of Amelia A. Royse of
Cincinnati, accompanied by man ten
years her senior, shabbily dressed, and
evidently her social inferior, giving his
name as Charles Traynor Of Utica, New
York, entered the Court Of Judge Free
man yesterday and announced her desire
to be united in marriage, her companion
meanwhile standing beside her the pict-
ure of sheepishness. After the prelimi-
nary questions were asked the marriage
rite was performed and the judge dis
charged them as man and wife. The
lady then turned to her husband and COOL
" intimated that he would lose his train
if he wasted too much time. The hint
was understood and the man bidding the
lady goodbye left the room. After his
departure the lady, remarking to the
Judge that some explanation was due him
of the strange procedure, said:
"There is nothing wrong in llthis;
no crime, no despair, nothing tragic. |
am simply putting it out of my power to
say yes to the only man on earth it
would please, and hurt, me most to mar
ry. For private reasons cannot marry
this gentleman without bringing great
sorrow upon him and me in the future
and to place myself beyond reach oftemp-
tation have married this stranger. This
IL ali there is in it. 1t is not likely shall
see this man Traynor again. He perfect
ly understands that he was hired to mar
ry me and then 90 about his business"
After requesting the Judge to inform
the newspapers of the marriage and to
forward copies of the papers to the Balti-
more Sun, Washington Critic and Den
yer Tribune, and laying 800 gold piece
on the table the lady left the room. The
Judge suspects that Royse is not her real
name or Cincinnati her home, aud that
insanity is the trouble she feared to bring
upon herself and the man she loves.

THE PROHIBITORY AMENDMENT
CAMPAIGN.


The Lewiston Journal says: "The
State Prohibitory Amendment Campaign
Committees held meeting in Portland,
Thursday, Nov. Sth, to perfect their or
ganiza,ion and plans for the coming sea-
son. Among those present were Ex-
Gov. Dingley of Lewiston, R, w. Dunn

]. r. Tabor of Unity, DR. H. c. Eaton Of
Camden, Rev. D. B. Randall of Read
field. J. S. Wright, esq, of Paris, and
other prominent temperance workers. A
free discussion Of the situation was had,
and the desire manifested to keep the
question out Of politics, that the prohib-
tory amendment proposed by the Legis-
lature of last winter may be either adopted
or rejected on its own merits. II is pro-
posed to organize the State as thoroughly
as though the question was political one,
and secure the heaviest vote ever cast on
the adoption of constitutional amend
mcnt X. w. Dunn was chosen Chair
man Of the Committee, and Co. Commit
tees were announced.
In another place the same journal says
1.-The Maine State Temperance Commit
tee have completed their County organic
atoms for work in behalf Of the prohibi-
tory amendment. Meetings are to be
held the coming winter and spring in all
parts of the State. The Committee I'M
animously decided TO appeal to the peo-
pie of the State as individual voters,
without regard to their party associations,
to support the amendment; and expressed
the desire that the several political par
ties will as organizations leave the people
TO act on the amendment on their judg-
ment, without attempting to make it a
party question. 1t has been the COM
plant Of some party leaders, that the
temperance question has been carried into
partisanship. The present is good OPP
portunity to lift the question above party
politics into the sphere Of common NOR.
Atty. If any particular leaders or or
gans attemp. to make votes for or against
the amendment by appeals to party pref
udice, we mey know. at least, that they
want to keep it in the party arena
We are informed by the Secretary Of
the State Committee that several hundred
Town Committees have been raised. The
women have also appointed Committees
in every County in the State, and these
Committees are now raising the Town
and School District Committees. About
two thousand five hundred speeches have
been made in favor Of the amendment,
and now about FIVE hundred temperance
organizations are in line of action. Many
speakers with national reputation have
already promised to take part in the
campaign, and with the speaking talent
Of Maine, the Committee confidently be-
lieve that an overwhelming majority will
be secured for the amendment. Thirty
five able men Of all parties now constitute
the State Committee, and the County and
Town Committees are also composed of
men of all parties.

The nominee for Governor was the
Hon. Hannibal Hamlin. 1t was in vain
that he and his personal friends protested,
for they feared it would cost him the SEN
atorship. The answer to this was, 1--WE
will make him both" and they did it.
The campaign that year in our State
was one not soon to be forgotten. Mr..
Hamlin had an ovation from Kittery
Point to Quoddy Head, and from Pema-
quid to Aroostook. 1t is no disparage-
ment to others to say that no man in our
borders ever had so many devoted friends
or was more loyal to them than he. How
calamity he bore the banner on which
was inscribed the motto of his party
"Ffee Soil, Free Speech and Freemen -
For years he had looked slavery in the
face without Ainching. With him Jeffer-
son, Van Buren,, Wright, Rantoul and
David Wilmot were the true expounders
of Democracy. He had no more love
for Calhoun and his theories than honest
old Andrew Jackson. The Democratic
party in Maine from the admission of the
State into the Union to 1853, had been
true to freedom. From the latter date
Calhounism ruled its councils. In that
