be renewed for two years. For per-
hitting any habitusl druukard to
have liquor on the premises after the
wife, father, mother, brother, sister, or guar
dian OF the drunkard shall have notified
that il must not be done, $50 10 5000 foe, the
money to be paid 10 the complaining rela-
tive, with forfeiture of the license, never to
be renewed. The price of license TO be not
less than S275 nor more than $500 each six
months. This system Of requiring liquor
saloons to pay high price for their license
is now on trial at other places besides Mis-
souri,. There is less opposition to high
license than to prohibition, and many think
that when high license has decreased the
amount of drinking, and the improvement
the change secures becomes evident, that an
increased disposition to introduce prohibition
will follow. Nebraska has the high
license system in operation. the charge
there for license is $1,000 in cities and $500
elsewhere, and the police and others state
that great improvement is the result. The
high price of the license, and heavy 6nss i'm
posed when the rules regulating saloons are
violated, have the effect Of reducing the
number ofdrinking places, by which means
they are more uEder the control and inspec-
ton of the police. Another result is that the
keepers of the saloons are more generally
men who feel the responsibility of their po-
sitiop, and who, from regard TO their busi-
ness interests and 10 view Of the risks in
Cured, will obey the requirements Of the
law and keep orderly, well.conducted houses.
The Temperance Society of the Episcopal
Church in New York is makiog efforts to
have a similar plan 10 that adopted in Mis-
souri, Instituted in that city, where il is found
that there is one drinking house for every |
l25 persons in the city, 1000 of which do |
business without license. Chicago is another |
place where the saloon bushes, is overdone. |
1t hss $500 licensed saloons, adding I'M |
licensed ones, and groceries and drug stores |
that sell liquor, there are as many as 5000 |
places in the city where liquor can be had,
which is one for every 120 residents, and is |
double the number of all the groceries, ba-
keries and butcher shops put together. Many |
cities in the United st ties present instances
lees glaring. These things have led
many good citizens TO think that something
more practical and eff.cual is required than
has been accomplished by the Prohibition
lists, and they are seeking 10 do This by put
ting existing laws into operation, and having |
the laws amended where required. Their |
maxim lie, off you cannot do all you wish,
at least do all you can"

BIZ THE SEA.

A stretch of sea beach reaching miles on miles
Where waves, the children of the ocean, leap
Upon the sleepy sands in mad delight
Only sn ocean beach, only the Summer night,
Yet / am sitting with an open heart,
And let the wild sea surges ceaseless roll
Calmly and still about my resting soul,
Far in the dim land of my spirits sight.
Purple skies far down in misty space
Dwelling DER xeas low-voiced
Where winds rejoice
Family and low, yet ever longing,
Across the waters coming on apace--
The sea spray in my face
Winds waves a-songing.
Scarcely I tell where sea and sky are blending,
Or where my spirit ana the sea have met;
The wide-soul sea unending
Has purple skies, and yet
The voices are less tender than the wind
And sad, regret.
Oh, Ocean, in my spirit dwell awhile
And let me on thy bosom calmly rest
know not mine own skies we'll as thine,
And phantom spaces wait thine own behest
To 1--we as mine.
Only shadow I of the great cause
That made thee, and thou art
As substance to that shadow.
We are one, vet may be
Whatever thou might'st have been.
The light is done-only the oceans roll
Around the darkness of my unknown soul

BEN BUTLER, while in Washington re-
Gently, told friend thai be Dor feels sure
Of Massachusetts, in the next regular Demo-
cratic Convention. He has the first requi-
site for favorable consideration, known in
convention parlance as having his State at
his back. Bat he also feels sure Of more.
He is working for, and feels coufdsnt OF
convention support of all New England.
He ia at work in Rhode Island, and very
busy among the discordant elements in
Maine, and he believes that the forces upon
which he relies have a solid foothod in New
Hampshire and Connecticut. Outside of
New England, he has had hopes Of the New
York delegation in convention. Since he
left Congress his personal relations with Mr..
Tilden were very close, and Batter really
looked for help from that qusrter, in case
the old gentleman of Grsmercy Park at any
time came to see thai ne Was no longer a
possibility. Here, too, as elsewhere, he IL
said to place high hopes upon the strength
which the Catholic Influence can rally Tor
him. To sum up the Butler situation, as
Butler sees it, he is now working most IL
dustriously to organize his forces for the
next regular Democratic Convention, and
that he fully believes ia his ultimate SUCCESS.

ENGLAND.
A "CORNERr IN RICE

LONDON, April 3.-There is unwonted ex-
element in the rice market. A firm, prom
inent in the trade, which has extensive
agencies in Burmab, some time since made
considerable sales of rice to arrive, in ex-
pectation of getting supplies from native
sources and securing large tonnage for
England. The natives held off their sup
plies, probably on account of being advised
Of the state OF the oversold English market,
and large purchases had 10 be made in the
open market here for the purpose of fulfill
iug contracts. Rangoon rice has risen ten
per cent. within the past week. AS conse-
quence, failures are expected in the trade.
STILL HOPE FOR COMPROMISE.
Although Prussia, in answer to Cardinal
Jscobini, the papal secretary of state, re-

a compromise. The answer of Jacobiui,
which is expected to-day, will go far toward
deciding whether negotiations are &c fail
