Governor, and Roger Wolcott ESQ. of

able to gain admittance. The Boston
Journal says: ''There was snap and an
energy from start to finish about the meet

lice at the doors been obliged to turn away
hundreds of people-enough in their opin-

State bank notes was a telling disposition
of one plank Of the Democratic platform
More than fifteen hundred banks whose
notes did not circulate at par beyond the

afloat for the defrauding of the public, is

Sunday School Meeting i'll Searsmont.

To THE EDITOR OF The JOURNAL A
word Of explanation is needed about
the Sunday School meeting in Searsmont
last week. 1t was a mistake to call it the
County Convention, for it was not, and did
not pretend to be. l.. G. March was there
and gave us a good talk, and it was profit
able for those present. We are now look
ing forward with increased interest to the
next County Convention, and hope those
having the matter in charge will not neglect
to arrange for one.

system the kennebec Democrat says:
It was several years ago that the splen-
did system of sewers here i'll Waterville
WAS commenced, a large sum being ex-
pended the first year, with generous ap-
proprations each year since. OF course
many llickers have been noticeable in CON

prop >ition to give up the sewers and put
the money which they cost into the city
treasury should be submitted to the voters
to-day. it would receive half the votes
necessary TO carry it. The value of the
sewer system is thoroughly appreciated in

the fact that in this respect their city is

STRONG DRINK IN FRANCE,
Consumption Per Head Larger Than in
81

Consumption Per Head Larger Than in
England.
There is a drink question in France,
as well as in England, and, as pastor
remarked at the Oratoire church at a
meeting of the McAll Missions, drunk
enness is likely if allowed to increase
without check to prove the ruin of
France. The consumption per head of
alcohol in this country is already larger
by great deal than in England. A
large proportion of this alcohol is
however, in the form of wine, which,
particularly if not taken between
meals, may be considered less harm
full than spirits ordinarily used in Eng
land.
On the other hand: Frenchmen of all
classes indulge in number of drinks
called appetizers, probably because
they destroy the appetite, which are
nothing less than rank poison, and are
but little known on the other side of
the channel. Among these are alb
sinthe. bitters of all kinds, and made
up wines such as the Madeira, at two
pence a glass, which Paris workmen
take every morning on an empty
stomach. At the public house gin is
little known, but kirchenwasser takes
its place. The agents of the Paris
Municipal laboratory, an institution
which has rendered great service in de-
tecting authorizations, made raid
on the public houses in the suburbs
OF Asnieres, Levallois, Neuilly and
Puteaux. and seized quantities of
kirchenwasser which contained any
thing but essence Of cherrystones.
