nall Public opinion here is much divided over
the matter. The temperance people seized the
opportunity to make open warfare upon the >a-
looms and the result is a terrific commotion. The
hotel men claim that the summer business will
be destroyed if they cannot furnish liquor to
their guests. This privilege the Law and Or
der folks are willing to concede to the bio no
telS, but the smaller dealers say that if they
must be shut up the large ones must follow
sut-in other words, that all Shall fare alike.
Thus the matter stands, and it is ditlicult to see
what the end will be. Probably compromise
of some kind will be brought about before the
rush of summer travel be@iES
On the whole, have been deeply and favor
ably impressed by my visit to Bar Ilarnor.
Its people are genial, progressive and whole
Soule1; its situation is grand and inspiring;
its past is full of sunShine-itS future full of
promise. But the hour wanes and will close.
Farewell the beauteous sun is sinking fast,
The moon lifts up her hcad
AMI nights mute pail 0'cr earth at last,
Her darksome raven wing has spread.
