HE Opinion Of American Cities ard
Civilization In 1852.
EARLY In December Of 1852 Thackeray
wrote from New York city to friend
IN England: 1--WE been here and there
In the upper ten world. but not much.
It's the most curious varnish Of civil
cation. The girls are dressed Ike the
most stunning French actresses. the
house furnished like splendid gambling
houses. It's ell gold and yellow bro
cade, and little ladies' are like French
shop boys, and the houses are all 50
new that the walls are not even pa
pered. and on the walls in the midst
Of the hangings OF brocade and the
enormous gold frames and mirror you
see little twopenny pictures and color
ed prints"
Two months later he wrote from Bal
timore: "Now have seen three great
cities Boston, New York. Philadel-
phia. think I like them all mighty
well. They seem to be not SO civilized
as our London. but more so than Man
chester and Liverpool. At Boston Is
very good literature company indeed.
It Is IKE Edinburgh for that--a vast
amount OF toryism and donnishness
everywhere; that Of New York the sim
plest and least pretentious, for It suf-
fees that man should keep fine
house. give parties and have daugh-
ter to get all the world to hin" Pitts

The liquor advocates can be heard at
almost any time now in their We < efforts
to boost dead cause. telling about the
amount of liquor brought into Cecil
county during the dry years. but they
have precious little to say about the rep
resentative ~ class of citizens who do the
packing In of the wet goods
II Is true that some liquor has been
brought and shipped into Cecil county
during the dry years. But It is also true
that no divine commandment. no law
made by man, has had the effect Of en-
tirely stopping the prohibited practices
or acts. Our State laws prohibit murder
and assault and larceny, etc; bot msr
dering, assaulting and stealing are going
on just the same What sane person
would think of repeating our criminal
laws for that reason
As to conditions in our county, they
certainly are better than they were when
liquor was openly sold. Almost without
exception our merchants and business
men are in favor of dry comfy now.
Places formerly used as saloons are now
occupied by some legitimate business,
How absurd, and how easily disproved
by the facts, is the claim Of the license
advocates that prohibition does not pro
hibit! How, by denials and misstate
ments and misrepresentation, they try
to wriggle out Of the hole that the unex.
ampled prosperity of the dry years ofoui
county has put them in Their cause i
one of which no good thing nthe said,
consequently their fight Is losing
one!

Simplicity Club Formed.

In each high school in the state a
simplicity club composed OF all girls
in the school has been formed. The
object is for all girls to dress
alike, as far as elaboration" is con-
cerned. Some girls can afford to
dress better than others, and that
creates little jealousy and rivalry
among the girls which can easily he
cast down by these clubs. Yesterday
a petition was issued and signed by
the majority of girls in the school to
establish Simplicity Club and it
is hoped that it will be a great sue
cess.
