The High License Law. If the amendments to the High License law which it is expected tha Mr. Brooks w ill introduce to-day are ad.-ptcd by the Legislature the re stri tioiis on the liquor traffic in this State will lie more stringent than ever. After provuliug for the trans fer of licenses in case of death, re moval or retirement from business, the aiucudatory bill goes on to direct that no female or minor shall be al- iowid to sell or serve liquor over a bar, thereby preventing the widow of a si-loon kit-jH r from carrying on the business ; that no liquor shull lie sold for consumption off the premises, thereby putting a stop to the pitcher trade and giving the bottling busi ness & tremendous impetus ; that all taverns shall be closed at 10 o'clock P. M. and not reopened until 6 o'clock A. M., with a proviso that in cities the closing hour may by ordinance 1e extended until midnight ; and that any jiolice officer shall have power to close up and keep closed any tavern w here he has reason to believe that the law is or has leen violated, and arrest the proprietor at will Pater nal legislation may be a good thing, and the liquor traffic is certainly a very befitting subject for its applica tion, but we doubt very much if public opinion will tolerate the plac ing of such restraint upon individual action and the endowment of officials with such extensive powers as this proposed amendment of the License law involves. Why should the man who wants a glass of beer with his supjx-r and who cannot afford to buy it by the bottle lie compelled to go without ? Why should the wife or the w idow of a saloon -keeper not lie allowed to serve customers behind the bar f Why should authority to close up taverns and arrest tavern-ki-eers at their discretion be confer red upon jxilice officers when there are such things as warrants and courts of Law t What are we coming to, anyhow?

In order that the residents of this section may enjoy the opportunity of visiting Washington, the Pennsyl vania Kailroad Company will run a sjM-cial excursion to that city on Thursday. January 24th. The Na tional Capital is one of the most in teresting cities in the Union. It is esteemed by many the most lieautiful city in America, and the fact that it is the seat of government and the locution of the handsomest public buildings iu the land, makes it in teresting to every citizen. Both branches of Congress are now in daily session, and in fact every branch of the public service may be seen in the actual work of conduct ing the government. The public buildings, embracing the Capitol, White 1 louse, Treasury, State, War, and Navy Departments, the great Smithsonian Institution, the Nation al Museum, are iqieu to the public every day, and offer a field for inter est and study that cannot le excelled anywhere. The great Washington Monument, the highest memorial shaft in the world, is in itself worth a trip to see. The rates are unusually low, and the limitation of the tickets ample for a most pleasurable visit. Excursion tickets good forten days, admitting of a stop-over in Baltimore within the limit, either going or re turning, will lie sold from Pittsburg at $0.(0, and at eorrosiiondingly low rates from other stations in Western Pennsylvania. The tickets will lie goxl for use on any regular train of the date above named, except limited xjiress trains ; and in addition to the regular service a special train of pari' ir cars and dav coaches will leave Pittsburg at 8.00 A.

The Democratic party for many years has been playing the apple and pear doctor's trick. This is the story : Three poor old soldiers had each in his turn been kiud to "a man in a little red jacket." To one he gave an old cloak, telling hira that whenever he put it over his should ers anything that he wished for would be fulfilled. To another he gave a purse, which he told him was always full of gold, let him draw as much as he would. To the third soldier he gave a wonderful horn that drew crowds around it when ever it was played, and mado every one f. irget his business to come and dance. A lieautiful but very cun ning and artful princess, heard of their wonderful juissessions, and in vited the soldier with the purse to visit her. She made him drunk with wine and exchanged his purse for one just like it. When the soldier with the cloak heard of the betrayal of his companion he wished himself in the chamler of the princess There he found her counting the gold out of the purse and tried to secure it, but the princess raised such a cry that the w hole court got after him, and to escape he junijied out of the window but his coat caught in a hook, aud the princess secured the second priza. Then the third soldier blew a blast from his horn and a couutl.-ss uumler of foot and i horse cauie rushing to their aid. But I., -.11 , the lirinccss, with her maid, visited the camp disguised, and while the princess sang lieautiful songs she winked to the maid, who slipped in to a tent and. secured the horn, and the soldiers were now done for. They wandered tiff into tne woods, picking up a living as licst they could. They became ne titrated, and one of them seeing a tree laden with beau tiful apples plucked and ate first one, then a second, then a third tipple. A strange feeling came over his nose, and his nose began to grow untd it reached the ground, and finaliy st retched its enormous length all through the wood. His two friends at a great distance stumbled over it, and feeling sure after an examina tion that it was a nose, followed it up, and at last found their poor com panion fat retched along under the apple tree. The "little man in the red jacket" did not desert them, but apjieared and said laughing : "Why, ' how now my friend ? Well, I must find a cure fo you." So he tdd them to gather a pear from a tree that grew tlse by, and tho nose would come all right again. No time was lost and the nose was soon its projier size. "I will do more for you," said the little man. "Go to the princess and get her to eat some of your apple s ; her nose will grow twenty times as long as yours did, then look sharp, and you will get what you want of her." The plan succeeded, and the princess, nose grew to the ground, out at the win dow, over the garden, and nobody knows where. The king promised riches and honor to whoever would heal her. The soldier doctor ap peared, chopped up a very little of the pear and gave her, Next day came, ami the nose was a little smal ler. Then, to keep her under his care, he gave her another dose of ap. pie. 1 he next day tne nose was bad as it was before. "My eood lady," said the doctor, "something works against my medicine, and is too strong for it ; you have stolen goods alout you, and if you do not give them back, I can do nothing for you. Aut the princess denied it. Then he went to the king and told him now the matter stood, who com manded his daughter to send back the cloak, the horn and the purse. This was done and then enough pear was given to the princess to bring the nose back all right, and the sol diers went on their way rejoicing. So it is with the Democratic party. It had on Land for use a little pro tective tariff tiear and a big stock of free trade apples, and when the free trade nose grew to large as to cause many to stumble over it, they dosed it with a little chopping 01 the pro- tective pear, so as to bring the nose back auuin to its wonted size : but as the stock of free trade apples was fi -irisssasal' ' " -..s Assrv. inexhaustible, and the stock of pear growing less and less, the pear has all leen used up, and the free trade nose is out in all its hideousness, and will have to le amputated.

Afterwards, in handling the supposed coin he dis covered it to be a medal on one side of w hich is a side view representation of Major Gen. Wm. H. Harrison. On the other side is a picture representa- 1 tion that is not explained, with the following inscription. Resolution of Congress, April 4, 1818. Battle of Thames, October 5, 1813. Mr. Etka prizes the medal highly. If one had access to the Congressional Record of 1818, and would look up the "resolu tion of, April 4, 1818," doubtless the medal could be fully explained. Far Sale.

He with his hired help had gone out early in the morn ing to work, when the dogs started up a rabbit, which quickly ran to cover in an immense stone pile. Determined to get the "cotton tail," the stone pile was undermined, but no rabbit being seen all the party ex cept Foose started on to work. Thinking he might still find the game, he crept under the pile and seeing the animal seized it when it gave a squeal and the dogs came rushimr over the pile, caving in the stones upon their master and com tiletelv burvinsr him except his feet He was pinioned fast and cried lustily for help, which had it not arrived quickly the mass of stones would have crushed the life out of him.
