indorse any of these movements. On
the other hand, he says:
"This was not the method of
Jesus. He lived in an age of total
abstinence societies and did not join
them. He emphasized the distinc-
ton between his method and that of
John the Baptist by saying that John
came neither eating nor drinking;
the Son Of Man came eotng and
drinkjng. He condemned drunken
ness, but never in a single instance
lifted up his voice in condemnation
of drinking. On the contrary, he
commenced his public ministry by
making, as a miracle, wine in con-
siderable quantity, and of fine
quality, and this apparently only to
aid to the joyous festivities of a
wedding. He apparently used wine
customarily,if not habitually, and
before all the world and He left as
legacy and example for His fol-
lowers a sacred use of wine in the
most solemn service of His church. "
In discussing the question from
this standpoint, DR.. Abbott does not
advocate universal drinking or deny
that it would be wise, especially for
Cristians, to abstain from it but the
point which he emphasizes is that
each must judge for himself as to
his responsibility, and that no one
else has the right to judge for him
or condemn his decision. He even
goes so far as to anticipate that there
will be time when pure wine can
be generally used without even a
physical harm. The fanatics of
course will condemn the reverend
doctor tempe rance position, though
he contends that it is based upon
the position taken by Christ, and
will continue to demand that wine
drinking shall be stopped by legal
compulsion, and that rather than
a measure which will regulate and
diminish the evils of excessive in
diligence in alcohol, the saloon
keepers of the anti-prohibition cities
shall have in practice unlicensed op-
portunity TO sell not merely wine but
ardent liquors as freely as water.
They not only, DR.. Abbott contends,
"assume to differ with Christ as to
the meaning of sin itself, to throw
His example one side as worthless,
but TO rise superior to the attribute
of divinity and do what God Him
self has not done-namely: to
ignore free will and make man
good by compulslon." If the Es-
senes of Christ's day, says DR..
Abbott, could have made others
total abstainers by the force of their
example, or the Nazartes or Ro-
mans could have stopped men from
drinking by the enactment of law,
Christ would have encouraged them,
and among His messages to human
ity would have been one to this
effect: Thou shalt not drink
wine"
Leaving out of view the purely
human considerations bearing upon
this question, which are in them
selves simply unanswerable, DR..
Abbott has approached its discus
sion from the religious and Christian
side in calm and temperate but
not the less forcbe manner. 1t is
not likely that all his brethren in
the pulpit will agree with him, but
he has opened up the whole subject
for dicusson in manner which will
be likely to invite attention to it
inside the church. He has given
his brethren some very hard nuts to
crack.

The cheap libraries nave given amuse-
ment and instruction to thousands, but
it is the opinion of the sh~rewdest men in
the trade that they have injured book
publishing. After all we are creatures
of habit, and we nave become accus-
toned to buying a novel for 20 or %
cents. People are unwilling to pay 7s
cents or a dollar now. AT 90 or 25 cents,
unless an enormous number of copies al 3
sold, there is not much money for the
author, nor, in fact, for any one. Out
of the cheap reprint has grown the sum-
mer novel, cheaply but tastefully got up,
and intended to pass away an idle hour.
Some of the hundreds which are pub
lished are good, but the majority are be-
meath contempt. They make n simply
weary while reading them, and yet the
publication goes on. "Of the making
of books there is no end. Current Lit

The belief in fairies and brownies. or
the more playful and fanciful kind of
fairy, seems to belong more to the Low
lands of Scotland than the Highlands.
The character Of the people was softer,
end the lighter forms of superstitious be-
lief found a more fitting home there than
in the Highlands, where the gloomy and
austere character of the people led them
to invest the supernatural inhabitants of
their glens and mountains with some
thing more akin to their own darker and
sterner natures.
Thus the fairies and brownies of the
Lowlands take in the north the form Of
warnings, that come in gruesome guise
to foretell misfortune and calamity to
the family TO whom they belong, and to
whom they appear when danger or mis-
fortune threatens their patrons. Every
great and powerful family in the north
was believed to have a supernatural
warning or omen which appeared before
h death of any prominent member. 1t
varied in most cases, but each family of
n clan generally received the same warn
ing before death as the chief. Very
striking condolences no doubt nave &C.
CURED, quite important enough to con-
vince a highly superstitious people of
their infallibility -Murray's Magazine.

A Cargo of Russian CRIMINAL

1 was enabled TO inspect the Internal
arrangements of the Russian convict
transport. Nizhni-N ovgorod, which sails
hence with AGO criminal deportcs for the
Russian penal island of Saghalien. The
Mimi ovgOrod is an iron steamer of
about $500 tons burden and is specially
fitted as a convict transport. With-a
full complement of convicts he vessel
carries Coz. The more desperate charaC-
tiers are manacled and chained to iron
staples in their berths, from which they
are released when necessary. Among
the 4GU ConviCts carried by the NiZtmi-
Novgorod about 100 are murdercrs. Upon
the greater number of these murderers,
in addition to their various terms of hard
labor in the mines and quarries, will be
inflicted upon their arrival a number of
blows from the kuout. varying from fifty
to 1875, according to their crimes. Man
acled and crouching at the end of one of
the cages was a convict about 30 years
of age. There was nothing particularly
villainous in the mans face, though it
was by no means well favored by nature.
What struck me especially was his pallid
look and apparently general bodily Ian
guor. Seven years & this man had
committed murder and was sent to Sibe-
ria for life, the first five years hard labor
to be worked in the mines. After the
expiration of his mine labor he managed
to escape, and was only rearrested after
committing a second murder.
He is now sentenced to mine labor in
SagRalien for life, TO receive 1875 blows of
the knout on arrival on the island, and
thereafter to be chained to his barrow or
hand wagon for the first twelve months

"swing Bridges of the East.

At this stage of the proceedings we fail
in for the first time during the present
expedition with one or two of those ia
nous "'swing bridges" which are such a
characteristic feature both of India and
of Ceylon. Their construction is very
simple. Two ropes are stretched from
bank to bank about four feet apart, and
a number of thin planks fastened across
them so as TO make a kind of rude foot
way; but the addition of a handrail on
either side IS absolutely necessary to make
this primitive bridge passable at all, for
by the time you get near the middle of it
the whole construction is rocking 10 and
fro like a swing, making you feel very
much as if you were an acrobat dancing
upon a slack rope.-David Ker in New
York Times.

Please call to mind how listlessly old
people crawl out of bed in the morning,
also if there are any young people in the
room getting up, notice how the urchinz
stretch themselves Also call to mind
how a person just recovering from a sick
bed is inclined to do the same. Call to
mind how seldom middle aged and old
folks are inclined to stretch unless ex-
pecting something of importance.

We offer no apology for devoting so much time
and attention to this much neglected class of
diseases, believing that no condition of human
ity is too wretched to merit the sympathy and
best services of the profession to which we be-
long, as many are innocent sufferers, and that
to relieving the afnicted and saving
them from worse than death, is no less a
philanthrophist and a benetactor to his race
than the surgeon or physician who by close APP
plication excels IN any other b anch of his pro-
fession. And, fortunately for humanity the day
is dawning when the false philanthropy that
condemned the victims of folly or crime, like
the lepers under the Jewish law, to die uncared
for, has passed away.

Who Shall the Sheriff Be?

10 THE EDITOR OF THE Journal: Notwith-
standing the baekwartness of the spring, Mr..
Norton has made his regular appearance as candi-
date for sheriff even earlier than usual His FIRE
qucnt cutting back seems only TO cause more Wig
orous grow;.
1t is we'll perhaps TO have this matter discussed
early, for it is the most important question that
we as voters have to consider. State and national
issues do not enter into our county election and
the man is the Urine consideration. The question
that above all is before this fall in Waldo i
forcement of the prohibitory law. The demand is
for man who is orthodox. By this measure will
all men be rated, and measured by ii. Mr.. Norton
Is certainly wanting. There is no longer time for
experiments. From our present sheriff backward
not one has enforced this law Neither Republican
nor Democrat has ever lifted his hand unless
spurred on by citizens. In our next candidate
there must be no uncertainty either as to his
views, his practices, his character, his ability.
Three times has Mr.. Norton presented himself in
convention as candidate for sheriff, and three
times the Republicans have preferred another
man. The temperance voters will not ga for Nh
Norton. They demand nran rigid on this ques
tion and, to use the picturesque language Of MIR.

way he Is above board, Morally, mentally and

Disputed Points In Will Settled.

Iii the will of the late Paul Il. Iiazeltine Of Bel
fast, occurred the following clause:
81 give and bequeath, at my wfe's deceasc out
OF my estate lc1t her by me during her life, to the
institution for the Home of Little Wanderers,
Sl,0O0; and to the Institution of the Orphan Asy-
lum, $1,000: and to the institution Of the Sailor ;
snug liarbor 200; and to the institution for the
for the Home for Aged Women, $1,000"
Mr.. Iazeltine drew his own will and AS he did
not designate the locality OF the several insttu-
tons named the executors were at Il loss how to
dispose of the cgacics. There is no institution in
Maine bearing the name of Home for Little Wan
derers, the nearest being the Children's Home at
Bangor. At Boston there is an institution known
as the Baldwin Place Home for Little Wanderers.
There are four homes for aged women in Maine
Oid Ladies Home, of Bath, Home for aged Wo.
men, Of Portland, Home for Aged Women Of
Bangor, Old Ladies' Home of Saco and Bildcfold
and all these institutions claimed tic legacies
Mr.. Chas. Is. lIazeltine, of Belfast, one Of the
executors of the will, wanted the court 10 say
what the testator meant and an action was
brought under the title, "Chas. Il. IIazeltinc ct

to the boat taking Il child to the Home of Little

OF the place and that it of the best nstu-
tons in the country The will was written the
next year and it is believed that Mr.. HaZeltinc
had this institution in mind when he wrote his
Will In the other clause Mr.. Williamson bcliey ed
that the legacy for the Home of Aged Women
should be equally divided between the institutions
bearing That name situated at Portland and Ban
gor. The case was argued before this law court at
Bangor one year ago. On Saturday last Clerk of
Courts Wadlin received the opinion Of the court
which is as follows:
Bill asking for the Interpretation of part of the
fifth item of the will of the late Paul r. Hazetine.
The court are of the opinion that the legacy of
81 600 for the Home of Little Wanderers, shall be
paid to the Children's Home, at Bangor. That the
legacy of $1,000 for the Home of Aged Women
shall be equally divided between the following in
situations, viz:
Old Ladies Home, of Bath.
Home for Aged Women, of Portland.
