THE Literary World. published fort
nightly by Fl. Hames & Co. of Boston,
has entered upon its twenty-eighth
volume, with Edward Abbott as lite
editor. In recent issue of this ex-

from The Mastery of Books;' We
cannot read all books. We must even
resign ourselves to the reading of only
a small fraction of the worlds litera-

do little more, etc." Any periodical,
therefore, that can render US efficient

kind of service is what the Literary

in some good measure, and does with
praiseworthy success. Send for speci-

How Austria Deals with Drunkards.

Austria proposes to deal with per-
sistent drunkards by treating them as
mentally incapable, and OBTAINING them
in special retreats for a term of two
years. They may go in of their own
accord or on compulsion, but cannot
leave at will until their term has ex-
PRED, except in certain cases on pro-
baton. Persons may be sent to the
retreat either by order of the magis-
trate or on the petition of the parents
or children, or of the husband or wife,
or trustee, or of the chief of lunatic
asylum in which drunkard may be
detained. Inebriates may further be
assigned to retreats by the action of
the public prosecutor, or by the mayor
of the town or village in which the
habitual drunkard resides. In all cases
the inebriate must be legally tried and
convicted, the court being bound to
hear witnesses, including the drunkard
himself, as well as the doctors, more es-
pecially experts on mental diseases.
The term of detention will be gener.
ally for two years, but the patients may
be released on leave of one year, but
will be confined again in case he re-
lapses into his former bad habit.-New
York Medical Recorder.

POLITICAL.
Legislative Representation.

H. Morse, East Cambridge, discusses
this question in the Ne,os and Citizen,
and makes the following points:
If the question is asked, why did the
delegates that met at Windsor in 1777
so draft the constitution? we should
want to take into account the then ex-
listing condition of things. 1t is evil
dent they did not intend to make Me-
dian law, for they placed complete SOW
ereignty in the people, so that in the
future they might alter it at their will,
TO meet the changed conditions.
At that time much the larger portion
of Vermont was wilderness, and they
could not foresee the to-day. To me it
is wonderful that they did as well as
they did; they must have been most sa-
gaciOus men.
BY Walton's register we find that
Vermont has 244 towns, and each town
sends Representative to the Legisla-
ture, regardless OF the number of its in
habitants, giving PA members to the
lower House; total population of the
State, 1872 422, giving representative
to each l 1862 inhabitants. Burlington,
with population of IA sos, cast 2 LAG
votes-Somerset, with population of
81, cast 20 votes, and both have the
same representation in the lower House,
107 votes, in Burlington equal only
one in Somerset What is true in this
case, is so throughout the State, and
needs no further demonstration. Again,
Somerset has a grand list of S607,
while Burlington's LIST is $l12,471.
We find there are 127 towns in Yer
mont with less than 1000 inhabitants,
running from 500 in Irasburgh to 81 in
Somerset; average of the 127 towns,
625; whole number of Inhabitants,
79,452; grand list, $346 ,672. There
are 1T towns with the number of in
habitants running from 1,0l0, in Lon.
donderry, to 1850, in Burlington;
average of the 117,-2 1862 inhabitants:
grand list, 81 1856, 966. Subtract the
lesser number of inhabitants from the
greater, and it leaves 252 $50, and yet
the lesser number of Inhabitants have
a majority over the greater number; ia
reality less than one-fOurth of the PEG.
pie, and less than one-tifth Of the grand
. list, have a majority in the lower
House.
Would it be out Of place here to ask
if Vermont has that kind Of Republican
form of government the United States
is to guarantee to every State in the
Union? We should pronounce il not
Republican, but an oligarchy.
We insist that the time has come
when there should be material alter
alton in State Constitution, and | would
like to get the voters to talking and
thinking. If necessary, let US have a
war of words on this subject.

The C0llectOrship,

The friends of Col. DIN Merrill and
Lieutenant Governor Mansur are max
ing, on the east side of the state at
least, house to house canvass for
signers on the respective petitions.
We understand that Merrill originated
this idea, and that Mansur followed
suit in self defence. We find but one
opinion expressed among the leading
politicians on the east side, and that is
that Mansur will win; because he has
the backing of such large majority of
the influential men of the State
This last move of Colonel Merrill has
set politicians to asking, what is he af-
ter two years hence2 Is he making
this fight with the almost certain
knowledge that he will be defeated, in
order to put himself in position for
some important office at the next state
election? If 80, what office? Over in
Caledonia county, and down in Wind
sor and Orange counties, they are ask
ing why he claims all the credit for the
great majority at the September cleo
ton. In one Of these counties, the
county committee failed TO get any
help from the State committee and ran
the campaign themselves, bringing out
as big a vote as any county. Politicians
understand that this talk is all rot. 1t
was the issue and the candidate for
President that brought out the great
vote and secured the unprecedented
majority in September. If not, why
was the majority increased at the No
vember election, before which the state
committee certainly put in no work.

A NOTED physician says one of the
finest remedies for liver disorders is to
be found in apples, eaten.raw, or baked
if the raw fruit is not easily digested.
OF course, disordered liver causes the
complexion to be " muddy" and the
constant eating of apples will do "a
great deal toward clearing and beauli-
flying the skin. Eat them raw, if no
inconvenience is experienced; other
wise have them baked or stewed and
partake Of them freely.

What | Would Share With Others.

All the sorrows of my bosom,
All my grevous doubts and fears
would hide from all the world,
Keeping back the burning tears.
For the world has burdens heavy,
Every heart enough to bear,
Mourning walks the streets unwearied,
Bitterness is everywhere.
All inspiring hope and gladness
That unto my lot may fall,
All the faith that helps me upward
Would gladly share with all.
In world of care and shadows,
Turn me from the gloomy night,
And, with face by Thee illumned
Help me. Lord to be light,
E,o.B.

Nineteenth Century Civilization.

Wanted and praised is this modern improvement,
On every tongue are the strides we have made;
All that is old gives way to advancement
And we look with contempt on the grave where
tits laid.
We think of the methods of peace arbitration
Devised by the wisdom and light Of the age,
And lift up our hands in great CONSERVATION
When war is advised by hero or sage.
We have reached the dread point of high civiliza
ton
Where men become towards and dare not do right,
For fear that their actions may plunge our loved
nation
Into the horrors of blood-shed and fight
And yet, we admire the stand which our nation
Took and maintained in days long of yore,
Holding the powers of the earth In their station
And driving the English oppressors from shore.
Why then, do we stand idly by while the Spanish
The cause Of free Cuba by treachery kill
When, by stroke of our hand we can vanish
The last lingering hope of Spain, If we will2

 Up to that time, although an Ameri- can, she was absolutely unknown to the American public as a singer, That sea- son she was engaged to sing at the Met ropolitan Opera House in New York.
 The curiosity of New Workers was fed by this novelty and by the reputation which preceded her. This reputation was based upon, three facts-first, that she was the protegee of Jules Massenet; second. that she could sing G in altissi- mo- third, that she was possessed of po- tent physical charms which she was de- clared to exhibit with uncommon gener- osity.

 Personally the archbishop is a most desirable man to meet. He is feet tall and has a pleasant countenance and fascinating manners. He is liber- al in the fullest sense of the word without in the slightest degree sur rendering any of the doctrines of the church of which he is one of the heads
 The archbishop lives quietly, plainly and modestly. His study in the south west corner of the archiepiscopal resi- dence is fitted up with what might be termed painful simplicity. It is a large room, with plenty of light and ventila- ton. In the center is a square desk, at which the archbishop does most of his work

A few years later O'Connell was billed to lecture in town near by.

Indeed you shall get in, and you shall get one of the very best seats too" The little red haired boy is now the archbishop of Philadelphia.
