Closing Rum Holes in Harrington.

City Grand Juror Ferguson Of Bur
lington is pushing the rumsellers to
the limit, according to the News. Mr..
Ferguson has gone down to the bot
tom OF the difficulty and is closing up
right and left. A short time ago he
went TO Portsmouth, n. H., and there
obtained list OF the United States
licenses for selling liquor granted to
Burlington parties. 1t contains "a
names, or "a places that are, or rather
were, selling liquor. OF these 20
names are drug stores. With this for
a basis, Mr.. Ferguson began to issue
warrants, at the rate Of one to seven
per day. In the past three weeks
there have been more than 40 war
rants Issued. And another interest
ing feature in connection with each
case is that Mr.. Ferguson has insisted
that the real owner show up to take
his medicine. This is what has caused
much CONSERVATION, for ii has par
TALLY done away with the ''stool
pigeon" system. Mr.. Ferguson de-
cided to get this list of licenses SO as
to have something to go by in con-
Quoting searches more than the mere
word of prominent citizens who
would talk about "a wide open town"
but never know anything about who
was selling when asked.

It's a singular thing how trifiing an
incident will often change the worlds
history. II the country gentleman liv-

accident been thrown from his coach
into the lap OF young lady, the pair
might never have married, or migrated
to the American colonies, and thus the
world would never have known OF
George Washington as the father OF our
country. So it is in the daily life OF
everyone, little things" occur which at

LINCOLN AND HIS CABINET

Their Appointments.
Mr.. F. "a prominent historical writer
went 10 President Lincoln 10 get an ap.
pointment, and being asked Of what d..
nomination he was answered that ne
was Presbyterian. Well - said Pres
ident Lincoln Il will have to look at
my book 10 see. He further SAID. I
am not sure but the Presbyterians ar
full. / have to do this. .
Mr.. Lincoln then proceeded: Bishop
Simpson was here the other day com
planning of my cabinets giving all the
appointments to Episcopalians. | did
not know anything about my cabinet.
l thought Blair good old Presbyterian
name, and as for Seward. | didn't know
until | went to church with him that
he was an Episcopalian. =
President Lincoln had said to Bishop
Simpson You wait here We are to
have "a cabinet meeting here directly,
and | will see to il, and when the cab
met came he said, Here is Bishop
Simpson making complaint of our Civ
ing all the appointments to the Episco-
palians
Said Seward; That is not true of
my department. l never give an APP
pointment to any man because Of his
denomination, nor even know what be
is.
Said Bishop Simpson: There was
DR.. McClintock, appointed to 90 to
Paris, good Methodist, and Bishop
Hughes was put in his place. l suppose
you didn't know, sir, who Bishop
Hughes was?" "Oh, | had forgotten
about him.
"Well, said Blair, you We got him
there, bishop, but there are not two in
my department that are Episcopalians -
"Sir, said the bishop. there are not
two that are not. " why, said Blair,
THAT is not true, and you may come
tomorrow morning and look for your
self "
Il will be there at such time, and
he was there. As he went in Blair said,
"Ah, bishop, you got Seward splendid
ly yesterday Bishop Simpson said. 4
do not come to hear about him. but
about your department.
Il haven't time to see about that.
"Sir it is OF more Importance than you
know. Yesterday you said there We're
not two who were Episcopalians, and
said there were not two that were not
Episcopalians, and SO he forced him
to look at it, and he found that the
