The Charlotte Pfchibitionist says:
81: was said in one Of the hotels in
this city few days since that when
the regular committee two years ago
went to examine County Treasurer
Spaulding's Office, he said to them
that they would find over one half Ct
the expenses of the county was caused
by the sale of liquors; that the com
mittee thought it could not be posi-
BILE. But their examination more
than verified the statement Of the
treasurer" The same state of facts
exists in Shiawassee county, and we
do not doubt that the absolute ami
hilation of the saloon in Shiawassee
county, would, aside from the salaries
of the county officers, reduce by
more than SO per cent, the annual
expenses of the country. To accom-
plish so desirable result you have
only to vote for prohibition on the
cath inst.

AS all the readers OF the The
TIMES do not read the Detroit Trib.
une, though We wish they did, for no
able advocate Of the interest of the
wage workers, the industrial classes,
and the manufacturers is published
west of Buffolo, we place before them
the following brief review of what
would be the effects Of free trade in
wool TO the wool producers of the
United States: "The remark is made
by free trade organ that there are
only about 1000, 900 wool growers
out of the 10000, 900 people in the
Enited States, and therefore the 10
dustry should not be protected for
the few engaged in it. This remark
is about on par with the average
wise observation of the free trade
writer. Now the fact is that the l..
100000 wool growers in this country
represent about one tenth Of the
entire voting population of the United
States. They are not only voters,
but they are very largely men with
families, and therefore represent a
much larger per cent of the countfy's
population than our free trade friends
are willing to admit. The popular
vote in the United States in 1884 was
Io,o46,Io6. If these 10000, 900
voters represent a population of Co.,
100000, the 1000, 900 wool growers
must represent about 6,ooo, 900, for
they are practically all voters. In
stead of representing cne-sixtieth OF
the country's population, as our free
trade contemporary claims, they
represent about one-tenth, figured
on the voting population basis. So
1t appears that the wool growers of
this country cut quite conspicuous
figure, after all, to say nouhing of the

Romance of the Future.

The realm of the half supernatural has
been much worked, but it is by no means
exhausted yet. Is there nowhere family
merged in our complex civilization which
descends, and knows that it descends
from the race believed by old common
tators to be mentioned in Genesis,
the half breeds Of heaven, the children
of angels and men. and which re-
tains from that descent powers and
capacities and longings, and, above all,
certainties as to another life, and with
them religious obligations unknown to its
fellows all around always operative, yet
always Of necessity concealed Is there
no one who is undying, yet must obey all
other conditions of humanity; no one,
except St. Leon, for whom wealth is pro-
ducible at will, yet who breads to use his
power; no one possessed of the faculty
Bulwer used to hint at, but never utilized
in his half supernatural stories, of gen
Grating in another mind any idea he
would? The novelists who have used
mesmerism as machine have thought Of
that power, but have always limited it tt
its subjects periods of Inconsistencies
and employed it for some comparatively
trifiiug end.
Except in the departments of mesmerism
and sleep walking, the romance writers
have hardly utilized the facts of physiolog!

The Railroad In Ceylon.

So closely does the railroad approach
the waters edge that there seems barely
room for it between the clustering palms
and red tiled roofs Of the village on one
side and the blue shining sea on the other
Every now and then, when a larger wave
than usual comes rolling in, the whole
breadth of the track is plentifully be-
sprinkled with spray, But in spite OF
this it is thickly dotted with white tur'
bans and blue or scarlet sashes, parti-col-
ored skirts, brass nose rings, dusky faces,
and thick, black hair glistening with CO.
coanut oil; for the railroad is favorite
promenade with the natives, who find its
firm, smooth roadbed great relief after
the toll of plodding ankle deep through
the soft, unstable sand of the beach.
But all at once q shrill whistle is heard,
and the turbaned promenaders scatter
away from the track TO right and left,
while the morning train comes rafting up
at extra speed, as if in haste to sweep
away the intruders who are trespassing
upon its private road. Out of the third

Laziness of the Cuban Montero.

The Cuban montero's indolency grows
rather out of overproduction than inner
ent lazirhss. He does not require and
grab and wear his life to shreds to set
great store by. No condition he ever
knew required that He has no love for
luxury Hence he is in nowise distressed
or distracted. He has no envious longing
for broad acres, for one acre will suffice.
If he owns half dozen, his unnecessary
wealth rests heavily upon him. He needs
no fuel to warm him, for loving sun al
ways does that. He needs but little
clothing to protect him, for he lives IN
endless summer. He requires no barns
and great storehouses, for all the wolld
he knows is an endless storehouse with the
bin-end at his very door. He needs no
grand house, for the whole flower BIOS
somed island is an odorous bed chamber
eternally. He may herd cattle, or work
on the sugar plantations for a few months
of the year; but, if he does, negro or
guajiro is his slave for the rest.
The whole active, prompting element
of need is eliminated from the montero
life. You must know this before you can
know him Getting little closer to his
home life and thought, he may be said &c
exist in perennial serenity. He marries
because his father did He rears children
because they come. They are welcome &c
come, to stay, to go. The wife attends t
her few duties happily; she has no mis-
sionn to become frenzied over; and TN
vans come on the table at the right time
So in the montero's, there is a better Ign
than in some of our pretentious American

The Ladies of Wardsboro gave
reception to their gentleman friends,
Friday eve, March 30th, which was
pronounced a success. The reception
committee consisted of Mrs. Bessie |
Hildreth, Mrs. G. A. Briggs, Mrs.
H. f. Kidder, Misses Mary Briggs
and Addie Clark. The guests in
cluded friends from Jamaica, Michi-
gan and South and West Wardsbo-
70. The first of the evening was de-
voted to the sale of envelopes contain
ing names of gentleman, not already
disposed of. Rev. E. S. Morse very
kindly aided in disposing of his fellow
men, even offering to lend money to
any lady who wished to invest in frail
humanity. With this encouragement
no wonder one lady decided to treat
seven unfair ones to maple { p sweets.
At an early hour there was a call,
"Sugar is ready" The vestry was
prettily arranged with tables on which
were pans of beautiful snow and sau-
GERS of maple sugar, pickles, forks,
and spoons, these were gracefully
presided over by the ladies as they
anticipated the wants of their COM
panions. The display was very fine.
AS it was full dress affair the tailors
were busy for weeks beforehand.
The only occasion Of regret with the
gentlemen is that leap year comes Sc
seldom. Some of the most noticeable
