Cardinal Gibbons Oplnion.

Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore is an
earnest advocate of high license. He says
81 am decidedly opposed to prohibition as
means OF preventing incompetence, be-
cause it does not prohibit. Experience has
shown in those states where prohibition has
been tried that it is not an eflecti,e means OF
preventing the vice of drinking. There are
many ways OF evadng the law, and often
the law officers connive at the evasion.
Prohibition is 10 be discouraged also because
it confounds the drUnkard with those who
use liquor in moderation, making it out a
sin where there is no sin. The only places
where prohibition might be enforced arc
thiCkly sctt ed country districts ] am
very strong y in favor of high license as n
means OF checking intemperance. i regard
high license, with moral instruction, as tho
most efficient way OF diminishing the
drinking vice -

Tho Lntnst Swindle-

The attest fraud in this state is that of a
gang Of sharpers selling fruit trees. The
agent calls on the farmer, not to ask him
to buy the trees but plant thcm on
shares, the company to get half the fruit
for twelve years as price of the trees. The
farmer binds himself TO pay for the trees
at the rate OF 81 80 if be sells his farm. He
gives a bond 10 the agent for 500, and
without his knowledge it is registered
aga INST the land Another man comes and
wants 10 buy the farm, Offering more than
il is worth. Before he pays down the
money he wants to see and examine the
records, and they proceed TO the register S
Office. a bond is registered against the
place for 500, and rather than miss such a
sale the farmer pays the 500 in order to
give clear title But where on, where,
is the friend who purchased the farm
Then no learns that he is out just 500.

.H0N| SOFT QU| NAL Y PENSE,
A TALE OF VIRGINIA. SOCIETY.

The inhabitants of Richmond, the cap
ltal of Virginia claims that their town
is the most aristocratic city in the States.
Here, indeed, lives the man who never
wearies Of telling how his ancestors
fought with the RoyaIlsts and emigrat-
ed to Virginia after the success Of Crom
we'll. Here, also, abides the man who
avows that true breeding, culture, and
refinement can only be found III Virgin
ia. Here, too, Is to be found the firm
believer in the code of-not. perhaps,
the provcrbal coffee for four, but at all
events the pistols for two.
II in Boston or New York man calls
another a scoundrel, the reply will
probably be, You're another and the
nsulted one will think he Is amply vim
dicatcd by returning the epithet, but if
that same expression be applied by one
Nlrglnian to another the result Is Very
likely 70 be Il duel.
Ali American cities claim prc.cmi-
nence over all others for some distlnc-
tive feature. Boston claims to be the
seat Of learning and intelligence and
the hub of the universe. New York
asserts itself to be the money centre Of
America and the most enterprising and
progressive city IN the world. Chicago
has world wide fame for Its OK and
pig butchers, It's anarchists, and its d.
vorces. San Francisco is we'll known
as the home of the bananza mining
king and the heather Chinee; but Rich
nond claims that it alone is the seat Of
honour and the home of the true gen
tlcman. Her sons, indeed, do not set
tie their disputes in the public courts or
by vulgar brawing, but by an appeal
to the good old. fashioned code.
1t was many years alter the war hsd
closed, and when traces of the ruin and
destruction wrought by that terrible
conflict had almost disappeared. that
two elderly ladies were walking togeth
er on Church Hill.
Il am sure. Mrs. Pillsbury.' said one.
that it is our duty to tell poor Mr.
Hawley what we saw week ago. He
must be back from Washington by now
and will be sure to hear from some one.

'And I assure you, Mrs. Huntington,

why don't you take the papers?
They're the light OF my delight;
Except about election time,
And then read for spite.
Subscribe you cannot lose cent;
Why should you be afraid?
For cash thus paid Is money lent
AT interest four. fold paid.
Go, then, and take the papers,
And pay to day, nor pay delay,
And my word for il is inferred
You'll live until you're gray.

While dying of a cough,
Desired to hear the latest news
While he was going off.

OF some new pills in force
He bought a boX--and he IS dead?

knew two men, as much alike
AS Ger you saw two stumps;
And II phrenologist could find
A difference in their bumps.
One takes the papers, and his life
Is happier than kings;
HIS children all can read and write,
And talk ofmcn and things.
The other took no paper, and
While stroling through the wood
\ tree fell down and broke his crown,
And killed him-"vcry good
Had he been reading of the news,
At home like nelghbor jim,
III bet a cent that accident
Would not haye happened him.
Why don't you take the papers
Nor from the printer sneak,
Because YOU borrow from his boy
A paper every week.
For he who takes the paper,
And pays his bills when due,
Can live in peace with God and man,
And with the printer, too.
