FURNAS, Prea. IX H. Wheelek, Sec. Prohibition in Maine. The Spirit of the Hour, of Lincoln, publishes the followiug letter : House of Representatives, Washington, April, 1S78. Dear Sir. Your letter asking a statement as to the working, status, and results of the law known as the "Maine Liquor Law," Ib received and we reply without hesitation, from a personal experience of its operations. For the first ten years of its existence there were many difficulties and were serious obstacles. A great variety of questions of practice, evidence, and pleading presented to the courts for ad- judication.and very frequently jurors, overcome by their prejudices, failed to agree upon verdicts; but the courts finally determined all points of law raised, or that could be, and public opinion reformed all perverse jurors ; so that during the last fifteen years the enforcement of the provisions of the law has been constant, general, and successful. The result haa been that the traffic In intoxicating liquor, a crime by statute, has beoome a crime in the opinion of a large majority of our oitizens, the buyer as well as the seller being regarded as a moral par ticipant in the crime ; the use of liq uor as a beverage is unpopular, and the sale of it very limited. In a ma jority of the towns in the State none can be obtained, except as provided for by law. The propriety of the law having been early made a politi cal issues, one of our great parties has until within two or three years been hostile to it, and-evidenced its hostil ity on Its platform. LaBt year, at its State ConventIon,.wb,en the usual res olution against prohibition was offer ed for consideration, it was voted down by a good majority with consid erable enthusiasm. The law is now as easily and as thoroughly enforced as that for the preventionand punish ment of any other and similar crimes and we can sincerely affirm that it is a success.

Yirtuc In Whistling. An old farmer mice said- he would I not have a hired man ou bis farm who did nothabitually whistle. He always hired whidUera. Said he never knew a whistling laborer to find fault with his fod. his bed, or complain of any little extra work he waB asked to per form. Such a man was generally kind to children and to animals in his care. He would whistle a chilled lamb iuto Trnritith tun! life, and would bring In hie hat full of eggs from the barn without breaking one of them. He found such a man more careful about closing gates, putting up bars, and aeeiug that the nuts on his plow were all properly tightened before he tnnlt it out Into the field. Ho never knew a whistling man to beat or kick a cow, or drive her on a run Into the stable. He had noticed that the sheep that he fed in the yard or shed gath ered arouud him as he whistled with out fear. He had never employed a whistler who was not thoughtful and economical. A Dutthman who in a fit of passion was swearing terribly, was reproved by a church deacon, who ohanced to overhear him. Whv do vou swear so. Hans ?' said the deacon, 'don't you know that it is very wicked ?' 'Do you know,' said the deacon, anxious to sound the depth of his re ligious teaohiug, 'do you know who died to save sinners?' 'Yaw,' said Hans, 'Got diet to save 'em.' 'Not God, exaotly, Hans, but the Son of God.1 'So !' exclaimed Hans, a new light breaking in upon him, 'vos it one of de poys? I thinks all de vile it vos de oilman. ' Josh Billings : An enthusiast Isan individual who beleves about 4 times az much az he kan prove, and proves about 4 times az much az ennybody elBe beleves. Nature seldom makes a phool, she simply furnishes the raw material, and lets the feller fiuish the job to suit hisself.

Persons will find relief for earache-by putting in a spoon two or three dro'ps of sweet oil, or, better still, almond oil, the same of molasses and lauda num, warming it altogether. Absorb some of the mixture in cotton wool ; put it in the ear, with a piece of wool outside to keep out the cold air, re peating, if necessary. A roast onion heart dipped in this and surrounded with the cotton is also often very effl cacious. Ah, yes, 013' son,' said Mr. Smiley, as he was strolling under the moonlit heaveus the other evening, 'there are a great many wonderful things In the firmament; for instance there Is the sonstellation of the 'Great Bear,' which is so beautifully mixed up with the 'Dipper' that you always have to remember that the tail of the Dipper is the handle of Bear, iu order to tell the other from which.' Brethren, before we sing the next verse of 'John Brown's body lies all moldy in the grave.'let us take a look into the grave and see that it is there. In these days of Ohio medical colle ges a cemetery Isn't any safer than a a savings bank, and It may be that po litical glee clubs, who have beeu sing ing the song quoted above have been chanting a rhytbmatic lie for the past fifteen years. Hawkeye. A oolored man recently dissolved partnership and posted the following notice to the public : 'De desolution of coparsnips hereto fore resisting betwixt me and Mose Jones, in de barber perfession am heretofo desolved. Pussons who owe must pay de subscriber. Dem what de firm ose must call on Jones as de firm is insolved.' A man was scared to death In Ber ry ville, Mo. He was passing a grave yard at midnight, when two men sprang from behind a monument and shouted at him. He ran home and went to bed, but was so nervous that he could not sleep, and before morn ing he died in convulsions. The French are paying particular attention to making sharp-shooters, marksmen, among their Infantry. The importance of this will be admit ted when it is remembered that com mon troops throw away the weight of a man In lead for every one killed. The position of Indiana hitched on to the Solid South is aptly likened by the Dubuque limes to that of the old man's team when he tied it to the rear end of the railroad train just be fore it started out.

There is nothing a farmer pays bo dearly for aa negligence THE INTER 0CEAf Weekly, $1.15; Semi-Weekly, 2.50; Daily, $10.00. The Inter Ocean, as a political jour ual, stands confessedly at the bead of the Republican press of the West, and as a reliable newspaper haa a reputa tion second to none. While It has never wavered iu the support of par ty principles, has never failed to do lis full duty In critical limes, and has never heHitated to strike hard blows in defense of the Republican cause, it has never ceased to bo a good news paper, independent of all political and party considerations. With the reoorl of 6aven years' con scientious work and efficient service behind it as a certificate of character. The Inter Ocean euten upon the work of a new year; enterBupon the work of a year the most Important, per haps, in its history, aid the moat mo mentous in the histor of the Repub lican party. Lines are already form ing for the great batCe of 1680, and the countrj' has neverfelt the need of staunch and able supporters of princi ple for the sake of principle as it will in the coming year. Il haa been the good fortune of the It.ter Ocean to lead in the formation of publio opin ion, and to have a tremendous follow ing. It has maintained tuls position as leader because of its unquestioned loyalty to the fundamental prhclples of the party, its boldness in deending them, and itsfairneBsiu dis tuesing great political questions. As fhe In ter Ocean has sounded the keynote of the contests In past years, Republi cans will look to it as a faith fu guide and leader in the coming' year And they will not be disappointed. The paper will stand, as it alwars has stood, the organ of no faction or clique, battling In the front rank for the principles that have maie the country what It is. TheJhfer Ocecmexpects to leoeive from enemies and opponenti hard blows, and to return tbem with inter est. From Republicans and frhnds it expeotsonly suoh consideration and fairness as auy political journal may claim at the hands of those interested in the success of the the party and in the triumph of party principles. The issues are sharply defined. On the one Bide is the solid South aided by the Democratic party ; on the other the Republican party. Naturally at such a time Republicans will turn to a paper able, aggressive, and of un questioned loyalty. All that we ask is that they judge the Inter Ocean by its own utterances, and not by what Democratio organs and envious rivals say of it. Outside of party considerations Re publicans will choose the best news paper. And in this particular the In ter Oceanhas no superiors. It is in every sense of the word a national newspaper, presenting home and for eign news in attractive shape, and ac companying it with intelligent com ment. It will be as enterprising- as any of its contemporaries, more accurate and more discriminating: For twoyeara its cable dispatches have been fuller and of higher character than those of any other Western journal ; its Wash ington and foreign correspondence more readable, covering more topics of special and general interest, and its home correspondence more varied and more complete. All these depart ments will be continued, with such improvements added as experience may suggest aud Increased facilities for collecting news allow. Independent of politico and news, men want a symmetrical, interesting, and wholesome journal for the family and the home. They will find such a paper in the Inter Ocean, which de votes more attention than any other political newspaper to departments prepared and conducted with the wauts of home and family In view. This applies to Agricultural, Domes tic, Educational, Scientific, aud Social matters. The Curiosity Shop, covering an swers to all sorts of political, scientific aud general questions, will receive more attention, even, than in past years, and will be a complete onayclo pedia of information not accessible outside the great reference libraries of large cities. In this department the Inter Ocean has been without a rival aud, realizing the importance of the department, the publishers havemade arrangements not only to maintain its high character, but to make it answer more completely the demands of sub scribers. The Home Department has with in the past year assumed a new char acter and a new importance. B is the outgrowth of the Inter Ocean polioy of fostering home interests, and, while it is unique in its freshness and its plan, it is unequaled in its interests and iu the amount of suggestive and practical information on Home top ics. The Agricultural Department will be in obarge of one of the most experienced agricultural editors of the West, and will glve'eaoh week timely hints, suggestions, and discussions of praotical iuterests. The Veterinary Department has become a standard authority among horsemen, and is republished from week to week in many of the Farm and Stook Journals of the coun try. All questions of subscribers as to diseases and treatment of stock are answered without charge by a distin guished and experienced specialist. This department will be maintained at its present high standard. The Woman's Kingdom, devoted to woman's interest and work, will bo continued in the generous and conser vative spirit that has made it so popu lar. The Commercial Department has had a reputation for reliability and completeness all its own. It will remain in charge-of the same editor, and will be made up with the wants of the readers in view. In Fiction the Inter Ocean will pre sent a serial by a popular Western au thor, covering ground in the West not touched upon hitherto by writers of fiotiou, and replets with-incident and adventure. In short stories, sketch es, and general literary miscellany the Inter Ocean will pander to no low taste, but will give the best. In these times of depression and scarcity of money, people will turn to the paper that is the cheapest. To meet this demand the the price of the Inter Ocean has been reduced to $1.15 for The Weekly, $2 50 for The Semi-Weekly, and $10 for The Daily. Tn short the Inter Ocean will be a bet ter paper than ever before, and will be furniphed for less money. Sample copies sent free.
