AnInterest1ng Calcu1at1on.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The official statement of the amount spent yearly in the United States for liquor is $700, ,O00. In order to gain some con- ception of this vast sum, the writer con- ceived that it was in silver dollars fresh from the mint, and figured the weight of this enormous sum-
 Allowing the dollar to weigh 1 ounce this being near enough for our purpose, though in fact it weighs a trife less, we find this amount would weigh 21, ,s75 tons. Then we wished to know how mary horses it would take to move this enormous weight, and d. lowing that ton would be fair load for a horse. it would take, of course, 21,s75 horses. If we consider these teams each bearing 8 ton of silver in one unbroken and continuous line, and each team moving by a given point every two minutes for ten hours day, We find it would take 78 days or all the working days in three months. This gives us slight conception of this vast sum spent yearly in the United States alone for iquor
 The writer conceived that this would fur nish and support free public library in ev- cry city and town in the Union free to all it's citizens. Or it would found and support free hospitals in all the cities and large towns Or it would give to every boy desiring it 8 collegiate education. Or, if divided among the people, it would giTe to each enc .foGrtse7 doLEGTS or nearly 01ae hundred dollars per year to each family of seven persons.
 But this money value, vast as it is, is the lowest and least important consideration. tongue can tell or imagination conceive the crime and misery this seven hundred million dollars purchases.

Life and Living.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The above subject was ably treated in the Harwinton course of lectures by Rev. Dr. O. H. White, of New Haven. Dr. White is 8 man of superior parts, and in addition to this advantage, which is indispensable to the successful lecturer in these days, he has spent several years abroad mingling with all classes His observation and experiences have peculiarly fitted him for dealing with 'ELife and Living" and out of bis rich store of knowledge he evolved many truths to be remembered in practical life. Right living. involved the knowledge of the laws of our being. One great factor in right living was 8 house. This was described in language most chaste and eloquent, with not little wit and wisdom scattered here and there. That old and yet ever new and perplexing question of capital and labor was discussed as seen in Great Britain and America. It Is enough to say that the large and intelligent audience were greatly pleased with the lec- ture and the lecturer. The doctor has other interesting lectures and it is treat for any audience to hear him. J. D.
