A Famous London Tavern.

The Mermaid was the name of n IA
nous London tavern frequented by
noted literary men and actors during
the reign of Queen Elizabeth. All the
wit and talent of the time assembled
there for convivial enjoyment. Au-
thOrs have made it the scene of great
mind combats between such men as
Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Beaumont.
Fletcher. Selden, Carew, Dome and
others of reverential memory. 1t was
the gathering place of the celebrated
Mermaid club, the origin of which Is
ascribed TO Sir Walter Raleigh. The
Mermaid tavern was located in Bread
street and was handily reached from
three thOroughfares, so that it has been
often referred TO in various ways. The
Mermaid in Bread street, the Mermaid
in Friday street and the Mermaid in
Cheap street were, however, all one
and the same. 1t was the nearest to
Bread street The Mermaid was de-
stroyed in the great London fire. There
were other Mermaid taverns, one in
Cheapside and another In Cornhill, but
they had no such associations as chung
to that of Bread street.

incident to the Fourth of July. there

In this way it is hoped all the peo-

committee will Immediately get out
its circular letter, which will be ready
for distribution within few days,

seems as if the troubles of the peo-
pie of this section are about to he
settled, and that the sunshine Of
peace is TO follow the mutterings of
thunders that have threatened but
not burst. An agreement has been
reached whereby the contending fac.
tions will observe truce, and Tay-
lor will remove the military from
the capitol, revoke his order for the
assembling of the legislature at Lon
don. He does not agree to resign
his titles. or cease to maintain his
fight for the State government, but
he will abide the decisions of the
courts until he can have them con-
troverted.
The Democrats, on their part,
will not press their claims further
than necessary, to give them the
standing in court that they insist on.
1t is not improbable that the
whole contest will be reviewed, and
that it will be entered into in diff
ferent spirit from the one that DOM
mated in the first instance.

Senator Mayfield is working to
change the present system of dis
tributing the dispensary school fund
to the various counties, and we hope
he will be successful. The distri-
button now is unjust and unequal,
some counties who have no dlspen-
saries getting the lions share of the
profits. Horny has no dispensary,
yet that county gets a large part of
this fund. and Mr.. Mayfield wants
the dispersary profits to 60 into the
county funds instead of the State
treasury. Bamberg county received
last year about $500, when the
amount We are justly entitled to
would have been about $4,000. The
only fair method is to give each
county all the profits its dispensa-
ries make. and leave ont those coun-
ties which have no Qispensary.
