american at tributed to their imperfect higher educa tion but now in the last number of the same review comes mr john 1 philbrick who shows conclusively that higher edu cation is not a fault flic cause is to be sought elsewhere fa seeking it we natur ally turn to the great evil as the temper ance people say whisky which is reported to be the fruitful source of ninetenths of all crime but here again we are met by the maine statistics that are hard to understand fur ('. ii goddard by a comparison ef the criminal report for 1 y t and 1s..0 demon strates that while the increase in population in maine during that period was but 14 per cent the increase in high crimes was i7 per cent and of other felonies at the rate of 207 per cent in 1s51 divorces were rare but now maine leads all of xew eng land in driving a thriving business in the dissolution of marriage tics and bastardi zing children and strange to say these deplorable results have como about during the strict enforcement of prohibitory legis lation so the increase ol crime there cannot be laid to the door of intemperance hook ing at the matter without prejudice we con ies that we cannot account for this increase in crimes in the new england states other wise than by laying the blame on the natural disposition of the people who inhabit tiiat part of the moral vineyard it is without doubt a slander to impute this law-breaking tendency to high education and certainly it ought not to be attributed to enforced tern j perance we fear the people of maine are till making good the old couplet with ref erence to gov kent s.iunge facts if facts they be j progress of prohibition the following correspondence of the charlotte observer will interest the general reader upon this at pres ent interesting subject and seems to outline what the action ofthe legis lature will be on prohibition says the correspondent the working committee appointed by the late jiro hibition convention in this city held a conference tuesday evening with the joint committee'of the legislature on prohibition the working com mittee was not even in tune with its own mind on the subject and at the first fire forked off from a bill that judge edwin g iteade submitted judge reade was for absolute prohib ition to go into effect the first of may and be voted on in august when if not ratified by the people all penal ties for violation be done away with by the courts and the law simply re main a dead letter on the books till the legislature could repeal it it was one of the judge's finest sights at constitutional hair splitting but it didn't set the eoulter deep enough for the brethren it proposed leaving the orchards and vineyards with the people to make brandy and wine for their own use and for medical purpo ses just like a presbyterian said a gentleman to-day mr gudger antagonized tin bill ile said judge reade only represent ed in these views a small minority of the convention he was for an abso lute law to be submitted to the peo ple and believed it was constitution al ; he quoted from several authorities sustaining his position and from judge reade himself iu an opinion he had once given on simitar legisla tion mr mcdonald said he was for absolute prohibition and they would hold the legislature responsible politics had nothing to do with it and if any party has lo bc held together by the hoops of a whisky barrel it deserved to bust mr m isa re publican such a sudden shelling of the leg islative committee rather added to the uneveness of the evening conference but judge reade v.itli his kindly nature fur soothing the down on a thistle soon restored the best of feel ing in assuring the joint committee of the full confidence ofthe prohibition ists in the good sense and integrity of the legislature whatever its action may be j'he joint prohibition committee then gave its views on the subject — mr tucker was against the fruit fea ture of judge reade's bill it would lead to perjury in many ways the people won hi smear a barrel of whis ky over with dried apples and swear it was brandy he had seen as yet but one common sense dan proposed and tiiat was mr ball's of greens boro to let the people vote prohibi tion or no prohibition and if carried in the state the governor to call an extra session and have the law passed they could do it in a day's time and at little cost mr grainger said the great diver sity ofthe friends of temperance only showed they were not agreed among themselves and it would be difficult for any one to devise a law to satisfy all he was for the most practical and common sense view to be sub mitted to the people the legisla ture should at least remedy the abuse oi retailing liquor so as to make each barkeeper give a justified bond be tween one hundred ami a thousand dollars and if so much as a drink was sold t a man perceptibly drunk he might recover 25 or 50 out of that bond mr webster said he had a misty idea somewhere about his head that a temperance law was never worth the paper it was written on yet he would ro for it with the majority and while never noted for having much love for mr ball he thought his plan the wisest — letting the people vote wheth er or not they wanted it and if they diil give it to them mr bowman was unqualifiedly in favor ofa straightout liquor law but not getting that he was iu favor of strong and decided restrictions he was full against judge reade's pro position to let up ou apples and peach es as that was the article under which his people groaned j mr merritt was for submitting the law to the people but lie had a bad eye for ilmg stores and wished tliein specially guarded against selling the anient as lie believed them a worse liell than the dram shops burniuda grass mr w r stewart of mississippi writes to tlie southern lice stork jour nal : i regard bermuda grass and sheep as the coming salvation o such lands as have been worn to unprofitableness by the unscientific culture of cotton thousands of such acres of land in tlie hill counties of missisippi and louisiana are covered with bermuda bermuda is the b'\st of all grasses for stock a st<k'k of most kinds prefer it to anything in the grass line that grows it is the first thing in the spring that puts out and the last in the win ter to die and when slightly protect ed hy trees that do nut make heavy shade it remains green in winter af fording a line pasturagj for cattle and sheep if any one has liis plantation well set in burniuda grass then he is well prepared to make money and can re sterc his lands to their orignal fertili ty and can make more money than if planting four times the area in cotton for the farmer ofthe south the rais ing of sheep is a more profitable en terpii.se no animal except the goat will live and thrive with so little care and attention ; they are at the same time tho best fertilizers and are also good at weeding as they feed upon many plants that are pests and are hard to destroy poor land will fur nish good pastures for sheep and will improve so readily that it may be brought to a high state of cultivation in a few years the fleece under thc most unfavor able conditions will more than pay for the care of raising the sheep and where is anything better to ihe palate than a nice fat land either fried roasted boiled or baked no other flesh is equal to it nor so wholesome for either young or old sick or well in this climate but the selling of the carcass should be a secondary con sideration although that will pay handsomely in spring and fall the best animals should be select ed those wiih hardy compact frames and fine wool and then by judicious crossing — with a pure merino ram — the flock will soou lie all that one can desire from two or four hundred acres of bermuda grass will graze live hun dred sheep or three hundred sheep and one hundred cattle men who own old poor worn out plantations covered with bermuda grass and thrown out as worthless no longer can make cotton and coin negroes gone into the rich river bot toms to work think on these things you are rich if you have one hundred acres of such land well sodded in bermuda grass and one hundred head of sheep the men who make money in sheep culture are the men who feed well in winter care for them and see that they want i'or not liing no lazy man ought to own a sheep the voting man who in 880 goes into sheep raising and ix-gins right slow and sure in 1890 will he a rich man if he takes one of these old wortiout plantations in mississippi sodded all over with bermuda i wish i had power to make men know the great blessing they have ill those old red hills in mississippi for if they will only cover them over with bermuda grass and purchase a few sheep and pay the proper attention to j them they can grow wool much cheap er than cotton and they can at ail times find a ready market for it a ladv stood upon the steps of an omnibus in paris every seat being filled

american at tributed to their imperfect higher educa tion but now in the last number of the same review comes mr john 1 philbrick who shows conclusively that higher edu cation is not a fault flic cause is to be sought elsewhere fa seeking it we natur ally turn to the great evil as the temper ance people say whisky which is reported to be the fruitful source of ninetenths of all crime but here again we are met by the maine statistics that are hard to understand fur ('. ii goddard by a comparison ef the criminal report for 1 y t and 1s..0 demon strates that while the increase in population in maine during that period was but 14 per cent the increase in high crimes was i7 per cent and of other felonies at the rate of 207 per cent in 1s51 divorces were rare but now maine leads all of xew eng land in driving a thriving business in the dissolution of marriage tics and bastardi zing children and strange to say these deplorable results have como about during the strict enforcement of prohibitory legis lation so the increase ol crime there cannot be laid to the door of intemperance hook ing at the matter without prejudice we con ies that we cannot account for this increase in crimes in the new england states other wise than by laying the blame on the natural disposition of the people who inhabit tiiat part of the moral vineyard it is without doubt a slander to impute this law-breaking tendency to high education and certainly it ought not to be attributed to enforced tern j perance we fear the people of maine are till making good the old couplet with ref erence to gov kent s.iunge facts if facts they be j progress of prohibition the following correspondence of the charlotte observer will interest the general reader upon this at pres ent interesting subject and seems to outline what the action ofthe legis lature will be on prohibition says the correspondent the working committee appointed by the late jiro hibition convention in this city held a conference tuesday evening with the joint committee'of the legislature on prohibition the working com mittee was not even in tune with its own mind on the subject and at the first fire forked off from a bill that judge edwin g iteade submitted judge reade was for absolute prohib ition to go into effect the first of may and be voted on in august when if not ratified by the people all penal ties for violation be done away with by the courts and the law simply re main a dead letter on the books till the legislature could repeal it it was one of the judge's finest sights at constitutional hair splitting but it didn't set the eoulter deep enough for the brethren it proposed leaving the orchards and vineyards with the people to make brandy and wine for their own use and for medical purpo ses just like a presbyterian said a gentleman to-day mr gudger antagonized tin bill ile said judge reade only represent ed in these views a small minority of the convention he was for an abso lute law to be submitted to the peo ple and believed it was constitution al ; he quoted from several authorities sustaining his position and from judge reade himself iu an opinion he had once given on simitar legisla tion mr mcdonald said he was for absolute prohibition and they would hold the legislature responsible politics had nothing to do with it and if any party has lo bc held together by the hoops of a whisky barrel it deserved to bust mr m isa re publican such a sudden shelling of the leg islative committee rather added to the uneveness of the evening conference but judge reade v.itli his kindly nature fur soothing the down on a thistle soon restored the best of feel ing in assuring the joint committee of the full confidence ofthe prohibition ists in the good sense and integrity of the legislature whatever its action may be j'he joint prohibition committee then gave its views on the subject — mr tucker was against the fruit fea ture of judge reade's bill it would lead to perjury in many ways the people won hi smear a barrel of whis ky over with dried apples and swear it was brandy he had seen as yet but one common sense dan proposed and tiiat was mr ball's of greens boro to let the people vote prohibi tion or no prohibition and if carried in the state the governor to call an extra session and have the law passed they could do it in a day's time and at little cost mr grainger said the great diver sity ofthe friends of temperance only showed they were not agreed among themselves and it would be difficult for any one to devise a law to satisfy all he was for the most practical and common sense view to be sub mitted to the people the legisla ture should at least remedy the abuse oi retailing liquor so as to make each barkeeper give a justified bond be tween one hundred ami a thousand dollars and if so much as a drink was sold t a man perceptibly drunk he might recover 25 or 50 out of that bond mr webster said he had a misty idea somewhere about his head that a temperance law was never worth the paper it was written on yet he would ro for it with the majority and while never noted for having much love for mr ball he thought his plan the wisest — letting the people vote wheth er or not they wanted it and if they diil give it to them mr bowman was unqualifiedly in favor ofa straightout liquor law but not getting that he was iu favor of strong and decided restrictions he was full against judge reade's pro position to let up ou apples and peach es as that was the article under which his people groaned j mr merritt was for submitting the law to
