Temperance sentiment is growing
rapidly in some of the New England
states. In the seventeen cities in
Massachusetts in which municipal
elections were held only four voted
for license-a radical change from pre-
vious years. The Republican party in
Massachusetts has taken a decided
stand on the temperance question, and
che enlightened public sentiment of
the people fully sustains it.

Since the Wisconsin Central Railroad
has raised the wages of the porters of
sleeping cars, and prohibited their re-
ceiving "tips," some of the eastern
roads are taking the same steps, which
we hope others may not be slow to
follow.

1t may be that teachers have given
attention to the new law which re-
quires that the physiological effects of
alcohol on the human system shall be
taught in the public schools. To what
extent that wholesome requirement of

to be generally known. 1t deyolVes on

Earl of surrey ns a Rioter.

Apropos Of the recent London riots, it
may be interesting to recall the fact that
the famous earl of Surrey was once ac-
cused before the privy council of rioting in
London streets and breaking windows
with Il crossbow. His defense was sim
gularly ingenious one. "My motive" he
said, "was religious one, though confess
1t lies open to misconstruction. 1t grieved
me, my lords, to see the licentious man
ners OF the citizens of London. Was ! to
suffer these unhappy men to perish with
out warningp Common charity forbade.
i therefore went Mt midnight through the
streets and shot from my crossbow at
their windows, that the stones passing
noiseless through the air and breaking in
upon their guilty secrecy might remind
them of the suddenness of the punishment
which the Scriptures tell us divine justice
will infiict on impenitent sinners, and 50
lead them to a reformation of manners. ~

the current number of The Nouvelle

auette, has begun to write his souvenirs

Rether sad. The abbe's long experience
has shown him that crime is rarely an
accident in mans life, but generally
trade or passion, and that there thou

writes: ~ do not believe much in the con-

about $75, 900. The water about Robertss
island, which is protected by levees,
rose nine feet above the level OF the Iand
The pressure was too much for the levees to
withstand, and a break occurred Though which
the water rushed and soon converted the 3 600
acres Of wheat and orchards into n miniature
lake. The damage here is estimated at $3.50 000
Roberts island is divided into three divisions,
with cross levees. A break has occurred in the
middle division. Fears are entertained that the
cross levees which divide the upper and lower
portions from the middle section of the island
will give way. If the middle section is not soon
repaired there is little hope Of stopping the
break for week, thougb the most strenuous
efforts are being made to do so.
