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. Respectfully,
William P. Frye,

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.

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

Relief For Earaohe. 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.

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. All com

Dr. I. Guy Lewis, of Fulton Ark., writes ; "Ona

strongly in favor of Tutt'a Pills that I was In

They are componndod from medicinal substan
ces that are positively free from any properties
that can in the least degree injure tho most deli

and Invigorate the entire system. By relieving
the engorged liver, they cleanse the blood from
poisonous humors, and thus impart renewed
health and vitality to the body, causing tho bow
els to act naturally, without which no one can

A TORPID LIVER
Is the fruitful source of many diseases, prominent
among which are Dyspepsia, Sick-Headache,
Coativeness, Dysentery, Bilious Fever, Ague and
