Mrs. J. ELLEN FOSTER, the Iowa law
yer, does not approve of the Prohibition
list movement We print below portion
of her letter on the subject. 1t seems to
us that her logic is sound She says:
Either James G. Blaine or Grover
Cleveland will be President of these Uni
ted States; as between them / do not see
how any Christian voter can hesitate.
Writing as | do from this city of Buffalo,
where Cleveland's home is-no. where
he lives-he has no home-I do not hest
tate to say, as for me and mine. let it be
the true husband, the honest father. the
home man-James G. Blaine. Further
than this. do not believe the demand for
National constitutional prohibition is the
"best Endorsement of prohibition princi-
pies" The prohibition of the liquor
traffic is not, by either the letter or the
spirit of the constitution. the subject of
National legislation. 1t must come by
States; it can come in no other way, I'M
less by an armed resistance to law in the
States it should become necessary for the
general government as war measure to
aid the States by military intervention.
Peaceable revolution according to consti-
tutional methods must come by State
legislation. So also Just as prohibition
can not be carried in State till a consid-
cradle number of voters in the State are
themselves prohibitionists, so National
prohibition can not be a practical issue
until a considerable number of States
are prohibition States. When three
quarters of the States agree the constitu-
ton of the United States may be amend
ed, and National prohibition be the rule
of the land. 1t is sometimes argued that
the Thirteenth amendment aboishing
slavery in the States was submitted by
Congress before the States had taken
similar State action, but we remember
that at this time there was so large ma
lority of free States that they controlled
the government, and carried on great
and terrible war. The question of slav-
cry on its political side was controver-
sy between States concerning which the
general government and National legisla.
ton was the only court of appeal. The
prohibition of the liquor traffic Is not q
question between States, but between the
people of State, and national politica
action is not at this time the proper cour
in which to try this cause.

Cora Ryan of Addison, in said county, having
filed her petition to the Addison County court
next to be held at Middebury, within and for the
County of Addison, on the second Tuesday OF
December A. D., 1884, setting forth in substance
that she was married to William Ryan on the

resided in said county for more than three years
last past; that the said William wifully deserted
the said Cora about the 18th day of August, 1881,
and since that time has contributed nothing for
her support, wherefore she prays for a divorce
from the said William.

A case from which the non-profession-
al reader as well as the medical fraterni-
ty may learn something is reported in a
recent issue of an English medical jour
nal. In an insane asylum near Canter-
bury was confined woman tifty-two
years old. who suffered from what is
called melancholia. She had attempted
suicide several times previous to her en-
trance into the asylum, and after her in
generation a close watch was kept upon
her. She contriyed, however, to elude
her keepers. hid herself in a bathroom,
formed a cord out of portions of her
dress and hanged herself. When dis
covered she had been suspended at least
seven minutes. TO all appearances she
was dead There was no heartbeat per-
ceptible even with Instruments, rcspira-
ton had entirely ceased and she was
completely unconscious. But the Idoc-
tors began work upon her, nevertheless,
and resorted to artificial respiration, the
movements being performed at the rate
of ten a minute. At the end of ten min
utes faint heartbeat was perceived, but
it was two hours before the natural re-
piration was established and the artificial
discontinued. In eleven hours the patient
recovered consciousness, and at the end
of two weeks was in good physical health.
The New York Sun, from which we take
the above facts. says:
This extraordinary case is interesting
in several aspects. The complete simula-
ton of death suggests possibility that
physicians may sometimes themselves be
deceived as to the fact of DEATH especial
ly careless practitioners or those of COM
paratively limited information. We have
already referred to the lesson which it
teaches of the need of steadfast and hope
full perseverance in efforts to restore
those who have apparently lost ther
lives by strangulation or drowning. 1t
would appear that artificial respiration is
more useful and effective when the move
ments are performed slowly than when
they exceed ten a minute. This is an
important point for those to remember
who are called upon to render first aid to
the injured.

1T is to be regretted that some of those
who make public addresses upon the sub
iect of temperance do not keep close to
the facts. We heard a speaker, the other
evening, say, in substance, that ''magis-
trates before whom violators of the pro-
hibitory law are brought fine them as
for the first offence, even if they haye
previously been convicted ten times"
Now this gentleman ought to know that
it is not the business of magistrates to
ascertain the number of offences of which
a liquor-seller has been convicted; that
is the duty of the prosecuting officer,
who must set up the prior convictions in
the complaint, information or indictment,
and prove them. There are certain rules
of legal procedure which apply to all
cases, civil and criminal, that must be
observed in liquor cases as well as all
others. In all cases the prosecution
must make definite allegations, and, in
order to conviction, these allegations
must be proved. Till they have been
proved, the court and the jury are bound
TO consider the respondent innocent, and
sentence can be rendered only so far as
the allegations made and proved go
Hence, if in liquor cases prior convictions
are not alleged, the magistrate does not
and ought not to concern himself with
anything except the case under consid
Grafton. If there have been previous
convictions of which the prosecuting
officer is cognizant, and he does not al
lege and prove them, then he fails of his
duty, but the magistrate does not IL

urate are very clearly defined. He is t

judges the respondent guilty of the Grim,
charged against him. The prosecuting
officer, on the contrary, is to make tn,

referred to is very misleading, to say tn
least, unless he means to charge tina

Yes, but between Its distant abutments the
bridge of life has many high and awful arches,

do not sustain these. Natures solid rocks must
