Dio Lewis, the chief preacher in pantaloons of the crusade agaiust rumsell ing, recently made an investigation of the operation and effect of the prohibitory liquor law in the State cf Maiue. In do ing so the doctor evinced a desire to learn something of human nature and to inquire iuto the natural relation of cause to elfect rarely 6hown in the conduct of those who belong to the school of moi allots to which he adheres. Let it therefore be set down to his credit that he possesses at least an inquiring turn of mind. His observations of the workings of the Maine law ar made public in a recent letter to a Cincin nati journal. lie deckues that he is forced to conclude, from what he saw of the ef fect of prohibitory legislation in the Pine Tree State, that such legislation is power less to check intemperance. "A little more than twenty years ago," fays Dr. Lewis, "we began to legislate agaiust tho sale of intoxicating drinks. Since that time temperance has retrograded." In Bangor, one of the principal interior towns of Maine, containing a population of fifteen thousand, he finds that there are three hundred places where intoxicating drinks aie sold. This prohibition town, with less than half the population of llarrisburg, says the Patriot, drink surreptitiously and in defiance of the prohibitory law to such an extent as to suppoit more than twice as many rumsellers as our own city in which the license system prevails. The comparison proves that the practice of dram-di inking so far from being checked is actually iuci eased under the operatian of the Maine law. Not even the des cendants of the Puritans will be sober upon compulsion. But less some captious friend of prohibitory legislation should ac cuse u of singling out the town of Bangor in oider to institute an invidious compari son, let us quote Dr. Lewis' conclusion as to the general effect of prohibition in the state of Maine. He says: "I am sure tho friends in Ohio are sufficiently inter ested iu the temperance cause to send a committee to Maine to upend a woek or two investigating the workings of tho pro hibitory law ; and I am sure they would be amazed at the facts, and yet 1 did not see an open drinking place while I was iu the state. There is no doubt that the traffic has betn diiven under cover anil there is not a shadow of doubt that the coatumpti.in o f drinks in Maine is enor jtow." The doctor regrets that the wo men of Ohio, lately engaged in the cru sading business, have dropped the "divine agencies'' employed by them in their re cent attempt to break up the license sys tem. His faith in those agencies is un shaken, notwithstanding his conviction that prohibitory laws have proved a fail ure. Wre agree with him that the tetn peiauce cause wiil Le best promoted through divine agencies, but beg to dissent from the belif that tkese can be most suc cessfully invoked on the streets and in bar rooms in the midst of the profane and scotiing multitude. The moral cultute by which tho Christian Church aims to train the nature of man must lie at the founda tion of all temperance reforms. The mor al aud leligious tiaiuing of youth has more to do with the making of decent men, in respect of the control of the natural ap petites and passions, thau aught else be side. Not Dr. Lewis nor any other tem perance agitator will attempt to gainsay this proposition. Is this training to be had in the hooting crowds, in the heated excitements, the violent scenes often times culminating in riots, attendant upon the street and bar-room prayer-meetings of the crusaders? Is it not rather to be sought in the church, or, if you please, the meeting-house? Besides, if prayer is ef fectual as against the liquor traffic will not He whose almighty power is invoked against the evil hear and heed the invoca tion from the church or meeting-house ? Since Dr. Lewi has been obliged to admit that divine agencies alone can check or abolish the traffic in intoxicating drinks, he is also forced to admit that the invoca tion of those agencies can be made as ef fectually at least in the churches as out of them. He might as well attempt to deny the omniscience and omnipresence of God a to undertake to assert the contrary. tho fjllowin t is an elegant extract i like of which can be found nowhere else i as- - ArroEDi.Mi to a V.'.hir 'ton teltnm a new use has been fourd for the P;i;s".w;h by his entertaining ft tends.

The Republic so-called, of France has about proven itself to be a fail ure. It is only a question of time, and a limited time, too, until the change in the government takes place. That it will change from all pretense of a Republic to au imperial government is also certain. The only real question in French politics now is, whether the Bourbons or the Bona partists shall go into power. The latter seem largely in the ascendancy now. and the fact that four of the leading Bona partist journals have been suspended for making attacks upon tho government, while it is a confession of the government's weakness is also an acknowledgment of the Bonapai tist strength. There are other and unmistakable evidences of the strength of the young Prince. He does not lack for friends amorg the army and the police, while the populace will naturally prefer him to the Bourbon line. It is generally believed that President McMahon himself is not averse to the res toration of the Bonaparte dynasty, and if the pending proposition to dissolve the Assembly and let McMahon govern with out it for a year or some other period, is adopted, the ascension of Napoleon IV. to tho threne may be looked upon as one of the events of the near future. The disso lution of tho Assembly under the propo sition would simply be to create McMahon Dictator. This could only be done for the purpose of giving him a chance to give France a better aud more stable govern ment than the Assembly has been able to do. McMahon himself does not believe in the Republic in any of its forms, but in a strong government.. His partiality for the young Prince, therefore, renders it pretty certain that he would favor him instead of the Bourbons, thus placing the IVth Na poleon in power. This, it strikes us, is practically the meaning of the present disturbed condition of France. But as the people are upon the eve of a revolution, it is hard to tell what turn it may take, or who may come to the surface in the midst of the storm. Even the creation of a new imperial line out of a revolution would not be an impossible event. But the French people do not want, nov are they fitted for a Republic. That much is clear to all observers. They are bent upon a change and the revolution is bound to come. Whether it will be a bloody or bloodless one, time aloue cau determine. The Niagara Jill Hero.

He quietly rcplikd r ben I saw that man in the river I made up my mind that I was going to have him out right off, and if he had been out as far again 1 would have made for him.' Mr. McCullough may be seen at work to-day on the very scaffold from which he yester day experienced his frightful fall." The story of the rescue the same corres pondent briefly and clearly tells thus : "F01 tunately, information had been sent to the Cave of the Winds that a man had fallen from the bridge, aud Conroy heard the remark. He thought that a man had fallen from the Terrapin tower bridge and gone over the Falls, and started ofT leisure Ty up the batik. He had not proceded far when he found that nearly the entire pop ulation of the village had got there before him, and very soon he descried the man on the rock. He hastened his steps ; he knew he was the otdy man in all that crowd that could save McCullough. Some distat.ee above the rock he found awaiting use a coil of rope about an inch in thick ness, and passed it into the hands of a dozen or tifteen men. He consulted nobody ; he asked no one's advico ; but with as much coolness as if he were proceeding to his dinner he took one end of the rope in his left hand, told thein to pay it out to him, descended the bank, and proceeded iuto the river, only taking the precaution to divest himself of his boots. About forty feet from tho shore he discevered that the rocks over which he picked his way were too slippery in the strong curtent, and he returned. He sent to tho Cave of the Winds for his felt shoes, aud these were brought to him with the utmost dispatch. These donned he again started on his per ilous journey, from a point about 200 feet above the rock upon which sat McCul lough. Cautiously, but with impurturba ble coolness, he moved out in an oblique direction till he had reached a point be yond the line of the rock, the waters at every step threatening to sweep him out of sight. Carefully he picked his way, now in shallow water and now in deep, and down with the augry tide he went till he leached tho rock, and found awaiting his coming a man shivering, exhausted, and almost incapable of utterance. Conroy had accomplished a herculean task in reaching the rock as he did, to say not a word about the danger he btaved. He had to keep the long liue of heavy rope taut with his left hand while feeling his way on rocks as slippery as ice, and con tending with a current which would have speedily earned aman of oidinary strength off" his feet. In McCullough's hand he found clutched the putty-knife he was using at the time of the accident, and this he took from him and put it in his pocket. This done, he tied the rope about McCul lough's waist, took hold of it himself with his left hand simply, and both started for the shore. For one hurTdred feet or so Conroy had not only to look out for him self, but for the enfeebled old man in his charge. It was bard work but they made, this distance without accident. The end was not yet, however, for as they entered the torrent which ran between the shore aud the rock, both were swept 01T their feet ami buried in the tnad waters. The men 011 shore pulled the ropo as rapidly as was safe, and McCullough and his rebcuer were dragged ashore." Xewa ami Political Items.

Mr. Lick is the son of a plain Lebanon farmer, was born in a one-story house common in the country in those days, seven miles from tho town of Lebauou. and bred a farmer's boy. During the gold excitement of 1810, Mr. Lick, like maoy others, wended his way to the Pacific slope in search of a fottune. Unlike many of his fellows, he succeeded beyond his expectations. A few jears ago Mr. Lick had the old house in which he was born shipped by rail to his Pacific honi6, and there set up on his farm, and furnish ed as of old, a wonder to curiosity-seekers. Mr. Lick's fortune was made in lucky gold and real estate ventures. Miner's journal. 1 tu.

A Delaware Ssake Stort. The fol lowing descript ions of a strange aud dead ly reptile found iu Sussex county, Del., is given by the Seaford Citizen : ''A cur ious and dangerous snake, the only one of tho kind that has ever been found in this part of the country, was killed by sotre workmen on the farm of Francis Insley, near Wetipquin, Sussex county. It meas ured twenty-eight inches in length and two inches in circumference. Its color is black, striped with white, and when ex posed to the rays of the sun, shine with the brilliancy of polished silver. It was provided with two rows of teeth, twenty sir on each side, very sharp, yet are differ ent from those of the snake common to this country. About five inches from its tail are two thick grisly protuberances, about one inch in length, one on each side of the body, each protuberance containing eighteen horns, about one-eighth, of an inch in length. They are hollow, and the poison is supplied to thera by means of small ducts connected with a thin, trans parent bag about one inch below the pro tuberances. We are told that some years ago a snake, supposed to be a horned snake, attacked a man in this same vicini ty, and in order to escape he lumped be hind a large tree, and the snake striking with such force buried its horn into tho trunk about one-eighth of an inch. In thirty minutes thereafter a dullness in tho leaves was perceptible, and strange to say in another hour they commenced fall ing off. To-day it is nothing but a wither ed, naked trunk.
