No License In West Haven.


 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER;
 As a reader of your paper and resident of this shore for seven years can say and bring proof that this summer has been the most or derly and least drunken of the seven years. I know some say that there is as much liquor sold this year as with license law. That is not so. If it was to the liquor dealers would not want a license. All they want is the money that is in the business regardless !. of the evil results.
 Some complain of the season being dull. fail to see it. think some of the saloons could have sold more liquor to the roughs only flor fear of their making a drunken noise and so be the means of their being brought before justice and fined. Let no one who voted 'fno Hcense' last fall think of voting tlicense'' this fall.
 believe there has not been single ar rest this year for drunkenness and disorderly conduct, and how is it the east shore2 That place is played out on account of drink. 1 mean Lighthouse Point. We think we have got the best shore in Connecticut, and West Haven people are some of the best in the State, and the State one of the best in the Union, and want to make it still bet ter, and the best places are those where drink is not sold.

The Massachusetts Emergency and Hygiene association has laid out an extensive pro-
 gramme for the coming winter. There is one committee on railroad employees, mill operatives, stevedores, etc.; another on po- lice and firemen; another on militia; another
 on missions and institutions; another on
 schools, and still another which will arrange
 for the delivery of lectures to those who are
 in position to pay for the instruction they l receive. These several committees are to
 arrange for the delivery of lectures by physi-
 clans to classes of about twenty five persons,
 this being as large number as one lecturer
 can well attend to. At the end of each course
 of four lectures, each of which will occupy
 from an hour and half to two hours, there
 will be examinations held of such pupils as
 may desire to present themselves, and certi- fcates will be awarded to those who pass these examinations in satisfactory manner
 The course on hygiene will consist of four lectures, on dress, diet, exercise, ventilation. The idea underlying all this work is to give to the people who would not otherwise be likely to obtain it the information that will enable them to lead healthy lives and fit them to perform immediate and effective l service in cases of sudden sickness or acci- dent.

 T have medicine perfectly adapted to it's various applications than Thomas Eclectric Oil. I was for many years sufferer from Quinsy; Thomas Eelectric Oil cured me. My wife and child had diphtheria; Thon1as' Eclectric Oil cured them; and if taken in time will cure seven times out of ten. I am confident it cure for the most obstinate cold or cough and if taken into the head by the nostrils, two three times week will relieve the most offensive of catarTh; and not withstanding the delicate nature of the mucous membrane of the nasal organs, can be taken up with perfect mpunity. For deafness and earache it has done wonders, to my certain knowledge. It is the only medicine dubbed patent that have felt like recommending, and I anxious to see it in every place, for I tell you I would not be with out it in the house for any consideration It also operates in Asthma specific and whenever it is used it becomes indispensable to household safety I am ready to give anyone the benefit of my perience and observation, both to its effects and mode of application, if they will drop note making inquiry

EDITORIAL NOTES.

A Paris correspondent says Mrs. Mackay' s extravaganza has been exaggerated. She never pays more than five hundred dollars for dress!
 Dr. Lancaster in letter to the Medical Record says that many consumptives die in Florida, and their physicians should be cen sured for sending them away from home when they are beyond all hope of recovery He believes, however, that many severe cases are cured, and suggests that the American Medical association appoint 8 commission of competent scientific men to go to Florida and examine systematically into the facts
 In an address delivered by Sir Richard Temple before the British Association at Montreal it was stated that the population of the British empire consists of 39, ,OOO, ,0O0 An g1o-Saxons, 188, ,000, 900 Hindus and> SS, ,OO0,- 900 Mohammedans, etc.-a total of 315, ,000,- 000 The area of the empire and it's dependencies is 1O,0O0, 900 square miles, The number of trained soldiers is $50, GOO, of whom about 700,000 are of the dominant race. In addition, there are 560, 900 police men in the empire.
 The first instance of the cremation of 8 priest occurred the other day in Milan. The Rev. Don Giovanni Sartorio had left instruc- tions by his will that his body should be burned, and had disposed that in case of non compliance with his wishes the heirs should forfeit the inheritance. As soon as this be- came known the eleven priests who had been retained to perform the funeral service re- turned their fees, and the priests remains were committed to the flames unaccompanied by any Christian rite

STILL SOLID.

STILL SOLID.
 The South will be solid this year if the lead CTS of public opinion in Carthage, North Car olina, can make it so. Carthage is an enter prising town Several factories are in oper- ation there, and strong protection feeling has developed among the progressive clement which is interested in the prosperity of the place. Some of the young men have deter mined to vote for protection and have so ex- pressed themselves, They would not be turned from their purpose by arguments, threats or persuasion, and now as last des- perate resort the bourbon leaders have be- gun to talk about 'tnigger equality" An editorial in the Moore Gazette, the only pa per published in Carthage, shows that if the bourbons can help it there will be no votes for Blaine in Carthage next month. We give some choice extracts from thes article: When you cast that vote you indorse the Republi- can platform from beginning to end, civil rights and all. By that vote you invite and approve of the blackest and flthiest negro in Moore county to have the same privileges in society that your wife, your mother, your sister, and your lady friends occupy. Or, rather, that you are willing for a negro to occupy a seat in church with your sister, 8 seat at the same table with your mother, or to accompany your lady friends. This is the first thing you invite. The next is that you are willing to be ruled by monopolies, bribe takers, carpet-baggers, negroes, and almost by the angels of Hades. Can you swallow this, young mans Think of it, and if you can, we would ask the pure ald unsullied women of the South if they would go with you. * We believe it has now become time for the lovely and pure women of the South to express their opinions on such matters It is they who perhaps have influence with these young men; if so, they should freely express their opinion. If a young lady would refuse to go with a young man who thus says he can swallow civil rights, she would be acting as pure woman should. But we think if the young men or old men will look at this momentous question in it's true light, they will hang their heads in shame that such an idea had ever been en- tertained. As a gentleman remarked a few days since, here is where the matter stands: 'sThere are two parties-one white, one black; I white man; which shall I go witha' Think of it, white men. Birds of 8 feather will flock together"
 And so forth and so on. Those indepen- dent Republicans in the North who think it would be good thing to give the solid South 8 chance should immediately subscribe for the Moore Gazette. Careful perusa1 of it's columns may help them to understand what they are doing:

Origin OF Common Oaths.

The expression, Don't care a
damn" is said to nave been invent
ed by the Duke of Wellington. Its
derivation is most innocent, the
damn referred to being an Indian
coin, dam, of infinitesimal value.
The curse in & not worth a curse is
identical with the plant "cress." "
The expression is so used in a work
of the fourteenth century Piers
Ploughman's Vision" The English
were known as Goddams " as far
back as the time of the Maid of Or
leans. Joan addressed the Earls of
Warwick and Stafford, when they
held out to her hopes of ransom, as
follows: Il know you well. You
have neither the will nor the power
to ransom me. You think when
YOU have slain me you will conquer
France, but that you will never
bring about. No, although there

have reached as far back as the Nor

favorite exclamation amongth the Nor
man knights. We now come to the
vulgar and Objectionable epithet
bloody" This has been said to
have originated in the aristoeTatic
oath of days gone by, By'r Lady,"
but we are assured by our present
authority that it is simply the Ger
man "blutig," which our soldiers
brought with them from the Neither
lands. The word, which is now sell
dom heard except in the mouths of
the lowest of the people, wa. not
considered Objectionable. 1t is used
by Dryden, by Sir George Etheridge
in the Man of Mode ~; by Shakes
peare in Macbeth" and other
plays by Beaumont and Fletcher
in "Philaster in Piers Plough
man." and we find Dean Swift
writing to his love, Stella, " it grows
bloody cold, and | have no waist
coat" Laws have often been made
against swearing. In March, 1649,
a quartermaster in Cromwell's rebel
army w9s found guilty of swearing,
and condemned to have his tongue
bored with red-hot iron, his sword
broken over his head, and himself
ANONYMOUSLY dismissed the service.
a writer in later days proposed to
deal with the habit in a different
way. He said the clergy encourag-
ed swearing by declaring it TO be a
sin, and that the custom would die
out if it was believed to be a virtu-
Gus one. He added that a clergy
man of his acquaintance not only
assured his congregation that swear
ing was not wrong, but constantly
used oaths in his sermons in order
to prove that it was right.-N y.
