1T would not do in this country
to have a liquor law like one recent
ly enacted in France. 1t provides
that "every person who may be con-
demned twice by the police FOR open
drunkenness will be held incapable
Of voting, of elective eligibility, and
of being named for the jury or any
public office" 1t causes one to
shudder when he thinks OF the dis
astrous consequences which would
follow the strict enforcement OF
such a law in the United States.
Several seats in tne national Senate
would become vacant, and there
would have to be new elections in
many States, to fill the vacant chairs
in the lower house Of Congress.
The governors of some States and
Territories would retire: in fact, so
many changes in the official army
of the country would occur that 1t
would seem like new deal. And
then, if open drunkenness deprived
men Of their franchise, how small
the majorities of some of the candi
dates would. be But We are not
going to have the French law in
this country.

BRAZILIAN SLAVERY 1t cost the
United States billions of money,
thousands of lives, many years OF
bitter discussion and other years OF
the bloodiest fighting the world has
seen, and it came near costing the
very Union itself, to abolish slav-
cry. Brazil is just winding up the
emancipation business in that en-
pire. To-day all her slaves are
practically free, though some OF
them must continue with their for
mer masters until the seasons crop
are gathered, but they will receive
pay for their labor. When they
note how smoothly and easily the
abolition has been brought about in
Brazil, some of our own statesmen
must conclude that their wisdom
was not Of the highest order. They
will never confess it, but will in
their own minds, know it all the
same. Brazil inaugurated an
emancipation system many years
ago. 1t was an equitable plan, and
contemplated the gradual liberia
ton of all slaves without bringing
ruin upon the holders or materially
disturbing the labor market and
commercial affairs of the empire.
AS in the United States. millions
Of dollars were invested in slaves,
the capital Of many rich men con-
sisting largely of human chattels.
10 free tho slaves at once would
bring bankruptcy upon thousands,
and for time injuriously affect
trade and production, as both were
regulated more or less by slave Ia
Dor. Hence, the gradual abolition
was instituted, and owners were
paid certain price for their liber-
ated slaves. In seven years more
the emancipation would have been
complete and all slaves been free.
Princess Isabella, however, the heir
to the imperial throne, was not con-
tent to wait, she has always been
opposed to the barbarous system,
and her father, Dom Pedro, had no
sooner gone to Europe and left her
at the head of the Empire, than she
determined to hasten the week
which he had inaugurated. She
proposed to her ministers and par
lament immediate emancipation,
but her plan was not approved, the
aristocrats who we're in favor of
slavery being in the majority III the
cabinet and in Parliament. But
she was not to be bafiied. She dis
missed the opposing ministers and
called in others with broader and
more liberal minds, and the latter
having agreed to her plan she set
to work to win parliament, which
she accomplished, and the emanci-
patton act having been passed. u few
days ago the decree was issued max
ing slavery a thing OF the past IL
the Empire Of Brazil. Isabella has
shown in this matter as in others,
that she is a broad-minded, noble
hearted woman who viii prove her.
self the worthy successor Of one OF
the best rulers the world has seen.
Il has cost Brazil only fraction
Of the money which it cost the Unit
cd States to abolish slavery; no
blood has been split, and no lives
have been sacrificed, and it will not
require quarter Of century TO
eradicate the ennsity engendered
among the people Americans must
confess that the wisdom aud The
statesmapahip ofthe Brazilians have
been superior to their own.

The Dog Was Innocent.

A Dempseytown correspondent
supplies this readable dog story:
Probably one of the most sing ular
cases of dog killing and damages that
ever occurred in this part OF the coun'
Try was tried before Franklin Jus,
lice of the Peace recently. The par.
ticulars are about as follows: Some
lime ago dogs broke into the enclos'
nre of s. B. Keely, q resident of
Sugar Greek township, and killed six
,heep and wounded several others.
Mr. Keely thought he knew whose
logs did the killing and wounding.
Among the number thus set apart
for vengeance by Mr.. Keely was a
valuable dog belonging to Israel
Phillips, neighbor of Keely's.
Keely went to Phillips and told him
hat his (PhillipsD dog was one Of
the guilty animals, and demanded
le should be killed. Phillips told
Keely to kill the dog if he was among
he number that had killed the sheep
Keely took the risk spd killed the
log. Immediately after the dog was
lead Phillips proceeded to hold a
post-mortem examination, which re-
vsaled the fact of the dogs innocence,
.s nothing was found in his teeth,
stomach or intestines to indicate his
suilt Phillips sought advice and
brought suit against Keely to recover
he value of his dog, which he laid

A Blackbird Remains Here All
Winter.

A singular circumstance is that of
a black bird remaining here in the
North all winter and, apparently, en-
joying it. On the Derrick Updegraff
farm, on the Long Reach. close to the
city limits, black bird can be seen
at almost any time during the day.
generally perched high on a large
black walnut tree in front of the farm
house, furnishing sweet music 'or
those within hearing OF its voice. Its
first notes in the morning are calls for
its mate-the mate probably being In
the South, or dead. Following these
calls comes forth from its little throat
music OF the most delightful kind. 1t
feeds with the chickens in the yard
and often goes into the barn for grain
At night it perches on Norway pine
in front of the house, along with sew
eral chickens that prefer that kind of
a roost. 1t has been noticed, on cold
evenings, that it gets in under wing
of one of the chickens, to keep itself
warm. During some OF the extreme
cold weather this winter it, no doubt,
suffered greatly, lts song from the
walnut tree being very weak; but its
recovery was complete as soon as
warmer sunshine appeared. 1t is a
plump, fine looking bird. as it receives
plenty of food. .-Williamsport Gazette

Duration Of Life.

According to Mulhall's Dictionary
Of Statistics, the average age OF all
living in France is 80 years,2 months
and l2 days. In the United States
it is only "a years, 10 months, and "a

France and the United States show
be extremes Of civilized countries
In London the proportion of chill.
dren snder FIVE years is nearly double
hat Of Paris. but the proportion OF
London population between forty and
sixty is only about two thirds that o.

Statistics"
In lS4l only 4 3 per cent of the
population of Ireland were over sixty

THE CITIZEN.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The Great Illinois Ditch.

There has heretofore been a marsh
of some 200, 900 acres in extent on the
west side of Mason County, Illinois,
which lies along the Illinois River,
that stream making the western
boundary. This marsh, since the
settlement of the State, has been great
duck and other game hunting grounds
though considerable of q nuisance to
the farmers living on its borders
This marsh has recently been drained
by the Mason County Drain Co, con-
sisting of the farmers owning the ad-
Joining land and the outside proprie.
tors of the marsh land. The main
ditch is 60 feet wide at top, 40 feet at
bottom, and s feet deep. IL is fifteen
miles long, has fall of 4 feet to the
mile, and drains with its laterals,
when are 80 feet wide at top, Is at
bottom, and with a depth to cores
pond with the mains, from 200, 900 to
800, 900 acres. The cost of the whole
is estimated to be $500. 900. The
earth removed is sand aud clay mix
ed. and offers little resistance to the
machinery. The dredge doing the
work floats in the water of the ditch
and makes 100 feet progress every
day. The assessed cost on some OF
the drained land will ultimately
amount to $25 per acre, and thence
grading down to trivial sum.
The work has been in progress for
several years, and meantime the land
drained has produced surprising crops
of W heat and corn. The past year
year of severe drouth-matters
have not progressed as fasorably in
respect to crops. thousands of acres of
corn having been lost by firing" in
consequence of the sudden withdraw
al of the usual moisture. The thougt-
ful among the projectors of the
-cheme and owners of the land are
now aware that they have made a
mistake in not provided for holding
a portion of the water, and recognize
toe fact that the ditch is twice the di-
mensions it should have been If it
were not for the fsll--4 feet to the
mile-a few locks or dams would hold
the water when it will be needed or
crops; but now it will take many.
