CORNWALL.

CORNWALL.
 The loveliest of all the Cornwall's is we'll filled with city guests, who are glad to seek repose in the quiet shades of it's grand old pines and build up for themselves "bone and brawn" to sus- tain them through the exhaustion of city life in winter. Many have found a Institute, and we who love it, are glad to see once more the classic walls of old sAlger" shelter such 8 goodly company.
 The residents of the town seem to have become imbued with the spirit of improvement and have determined to "so let their light shine as to be seen of all men," and to-day are putting ten street lamps in convenient places and with those already in use will leave no dark spots for evil-doers to turk, and now only await the abdication of "pale Luna from her star-lit throne" to give them trial. West street has also "caught on," not being willing that Calhoun corner on School street should bear off the palm, and so the sound of the hammer is again heard in the land and as result quite extensive improve ments are being made on William O. Bennett's residence, and with the fine barn erected last year, will make it one of the handsomest farmsteads in our town. . -E- .@s FE
 With many thanks to THE NEWS for the information contained in it's issue of July 31 concerning. the new railway connection, and that we have only to go to our sister town, the good land of Canaan, and presto change we are off to the Poughkeepsie Bridge, bringing that city within our easy reach and relieving our minds of feeling which we have always had, that between us lay dreary waste of country.

Prohibitlon IN Rhode Island.

The Providence Journal is fair, candid,
able paper It's utterancesuponim important
subjects are always worthy Of considera-
ton. We have, therefore. looked to its
columns to learn what it thinks OF the pro-
hibition defeat in Rhode Island last week.
We quote from that paper;
1.-The experiment of prohibition has cost
Rhode Island good deal, and the evil e.,
fects Of the continued violation of law VIII
not pass away with tho repeal of the
amendment, but il should be worth some
thing in one respect. IL will be some time
before there is an attempt 10 repeat that
method of legislation. which consists OF
fitting the foot 10 the boot and not the boot
10 the foot, and which is about az much
adapted to practical use rs the means
taken TO secure feet of the desired SIZE lOr
Chinese high caste girls"
The expression fitting the foot to the
boot and not the boot TO the foot" may be-
come proyerbial. We quote from the Jour
nal again:
"The obvious thing to be done is to call
n session of the General Assembly after the
legal time for the counting and declaration
of the vote. and this assembly should,
without due haste and with careful con-
cal option. allowing the authorities of the
towns 10 fix the rate Of license and estah-
lish such restrictions and regulations for
the sale of liquor rs their experience and
judgment will show TO be most etfectual
for the public welfare. No one will claim,
as when the prohibitory amendment was
passed. that everything can be accom-
plshed by law; but much may be done by
wise and practical laws adapted to public
sentiment TO diminish the evils of liquor
selling. which will remain with us until
mankind is very much changed from its
present condition. High license has been
successful in many parts Of The country,
and may well be tried here under the re-
straints of practical judgment. Under any
circumstances, the condition of things can
not Toe worse than it has been for the past
three years"
These utterances indicate that there were
many friends Of temperance amongst the
men who voted prohibition out Of the Con-
stitution of Rhode Island.

ChaDdler's DENIAL.

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican, in re-
ferrng TO BILLY CHASDLEG's denial that
Senator BLACKBURN pulled his ear, says the
New HAMPSHIRE Senator's ear has been
vindicated,n but intimates its contempt
for Little billy as follows:
William i. Chandler did not SEQ fit
during his canvass for reelection to the
United States Senate 10 deny the story
that Senator Blackburn pulled his ear for
calling the kentucky Senator a slave
driver. The New Hampshire statesman
apparently considered the narrative, as
generally circulated by the press, very
good bit OF political capital"
Yes, CHANDLER worked the ear incident
for all there was in it, as it was predicted
he would; and no doubt about the time
his chances for reelection were considered
not Of the best, be regretted,that the Ken
lucky Senator had not pulled his nose also.
The country would not have regretted il if
BLACKBURN had elongated both the nasal
and the auricular developments of the
little malignant. but if choice bad 10
DO made il should in accordance with
the eternal fitness Of things have been
the nose that was pulled, seeing
that CHANDLER is self-elccted chairman
Of the senatorial Smelling Committee on
Southern Outrages. and is always putting
his nose into things that do not concern
him. As 20 how far his denial will be Gre
dited it is worthy Of remark that Senator
FAuLKSEE, of West Virginia, whose We
rGcity no one will question. declares that
BLACKBURN did pull CHANDLEE's ear. This
declaration he made Saturday at Martins
burg to a Herald correspondent.
