TT ❑.ltltlUM, A TALE OP THE TEXAS BORDER EMI=3 Settlers along the of the War lopa River, in Texas, had been Worked to a pitch bordering on frenzy. For a long time the Camanche Indicts had been committing depredations of. a fear ful character. and it. was now evident that an open warfare must ensue. The savages must be exterminated, or nearly so; else the white Man would be driven •om his home, or butchered upon its threshold. A. settlement of some thirty cabins had been formed upe9 time Warlopa ; and for its protection, and the safety of its inhabitants in case of an attack, a blocks house had been erected, on the bank of the river. It was a 1;h-ring building, surrounded by a high stockade, and from within, a handful of .men could defend themselves against hundreds of,their saimge foes. It was well suplied with provisions and ammunition, several large hogsheads containing water were placed within reach, in case an attacking party would resort to fire.. 111=1 The settlers were anticipatiLic l al at tack .that very night, and Wolfe,- now busily engaged in moving, the women and children and such articles of house hold goods that could be carried without the use of teams. Scarcely had the set tlers with their families secured them selves within their stronghold, when a will cry was raised, and the white men gathered around. the remains of one of their neighbors who had just been brought in from a distant field: . The body had been so horribly mutilated that it was scarcely recognizable ; but it was discovered to be that of George- Maloy, a gentleman highly esteemed by all. He had left home but few hour: before to look after his cattle, and this was all that remained to tell the story of his butchery. Revenge was pictured upon every face, and each claspedligiiter the rifle it held. Then the shout burst forth, "death to the red devils—,death to Camanches "Death and extermination to the ac cursed Camanches !" repeated Colonel John Pool. "But we must act with prudence, boys. They are strong ;at present we are weak. We must all re main in the block house to-night, but I expect the boys who are coming to join we from the Valley will be here by daylight, if not before. Wo can coma them at least, three hundred with brave hCarts and steady nerves. We will march into the very heart of the enemy's country, 'and with rifle„ knife and fire teach those red devils a lesson they will never/ for get." milecheee followed this brief ad dress, but the sound was given back by the wild shrieks of women and children. very - eye - was" turned in tliif *hence the voices came. Out of the block house eatne women and children EMI ,its s 2 .5 25 '25 2. in the wildest confusion and fright, run ning in all directions to escape a fur that the settlers had - not yet seen ; hu it was understood at once that the tia ages were at their hellish work. Look well to - your vreapons,6ls, ancelie ready for any emergency," said Colonel Pool, as lie cocked his rifle. "We may have hot work soon,sfollow me." h it The flying yv men were net and toes tkined.— TIMy statCd that the savages had,got wit ni the stockade unobsei'ved, while the settlers were viewing the re mainS of Maloy, and were preparing to burn the.,stUck . house. That this vas true hecamo apparent, for the flames wore 'now sot to leap up; encircling the main building within the stockelle. "Forward, mop 1" • cried the Colonel; And in a few moments the settlers had reached the hurning mass. It was found ithpossiblo to save it, so completely was the stronghold enveloped in the devour ing element. . But now a neiv horror presented it self; - Upon the , very top of the middle building a female form was seen clinging to the flagstaff. The flames leaping around- . her.,, She glanced down,-on a soothing, furnace beneath her, and made a movement as if to make a fetirful leap, to the earthy but she paused; that would be `'curtain death. _The distance, - Was -some forty feet, and.all within the stook-, ade was a glowing mass; whore -,brush wood bad been heaped by the savages to faeilitate the burning: Almost., every one,of those hardy men hold their breath in agony of suspense ;••but'ii few voices exclamed : "My 'God, It Lonnie Moore I" • • • Wo must .speak in detail or Jennie. Sho,was the daughter of 014 o 4 the set tlers ; pho was a 'little "wild•and roman lb), but high-toned and. generous.,;. In (lced, some of her acts of 'kindness had won the regard of , number of Lapan Jedinne, who. Joined the pale foes, in consequence, becoming their fast friends. Several of them were now present;" and they, nlmost worshipped the maiden. Their admiration was equal to :thei r affOion ; for, Jennie could ride the wild; est colt,r.handle her bridle skillfully, or drive a canoe equal to a Comanche. Sho l vhs as fearless as a warrior; yet ten der and sympathetic as a maiden could be.. _ ' Wrirlopa, a Comanche chief, had seen her, and becoming enamored with her beauty, had sworn to capture her .and. make her his wife. A.t, those threats the girl laughed, for they did not trouble her in the least. Not so with her par ents ; for they felt an, anxiety lest -War lopa should attenipt carry out his threat. During the afternoon of this eventful day Jennie had left the lower aparmenta of the stock house and ascended to the roof. Hero she remained, gazing on the magnificent prospect spread out before her. Being fatigued with her labor she hall accomplished during the forenoon in assisting the settlers to prepare for the attack, she fell asleep. After a.timushe was aroused by shouts. Shea sprang to her feat and listened, for below she heard voices. Looking down she saw a half a dozen °flint dusky fiends at work within the stockade, and then the flames leaped around the building. She was within the circle of the fire. Quickly , she descended the ladder, and reaching the lower apartment, she found herself 'Confronted by a huge savage, who saw her face in the glare, and rec ognlzingrber, he exclaimed : "Ah, Good 1 me take you to the chief, and get much reward." As the Indian attempted to seize her she sprang up the ladder again. The Indian quickly followed. She reached the roof, and as the Indian at tempted to pass through the roof she plunged a dagger in his heart, and he fell back will! a yen. - Her situation was now a dangerous one. The flames were leaping around her, and the apartment below was dense with smoke. Nothing daunted, she once more descended the ladder. But upon reachirig the lower rooms she fell senseless from stlflocation. When Colonel John Pool discovered he situation of Jennie he exclaimed : "My God ! There is but little hope, but I must save her or perish with her." Wantoni, one of the - „Lapan Indians, at tins juncture dashed forward and held the Colonel' from rushing into thO burn ing mass, exclaimed as he did so. " Wantobi's life is nothing; Colonel's everything. .He must lead his white brother against the enemy. If she can be saved, I save,—l, go." Wantoni dashed forward. It was with difficulty that the Colonel was, re strained from- following; bnt he - felt - the usefulness of the effort on his part, so ho remained a watcher. The Indian darted into the hurtling mass, and was lost to view. He was severely burned, but he succeeded in reaching the lower apartment. It was quite light, and he saw the form of the maiden stretched on the ground. He caught her in his arms, but - he well knew that it would be almost certain death to return the way lie came. But his phuis were formed in an instant. Into the ditch ho plunged, and crawled forward with his precious burden, tak ing cae&to r keepher head above water. Onward he struggled, and soon he passed the stockade, and reached the river. He was now quite deep in the water, but he quickly rose to the sur face, only to find himself in close proxi mity to a canoe containing a Camanche. Ho was discovered, and a tomahawk buried deep into his brain, he sank back 'ead.' Jennie was lifted into the canoe, but she was still unconscious. "8 he was quickly borne to the other side of the river, and then handed over to Warlopa, who detailed two of his warriors to guard her. When the ,watchers saw that Wantoni did not return, they gave up all as lost, believing that he had 'perished 'in the flames together with Jennie. But it was now time to prepare fur self-defence, for the river was now filled with canoes. The savages were advanc ing to give them battle. Ono of the largest dwellings was selected, and here the defenders took their., stand. The fight soon began, and charge after charge was made by the Camanches, but with- - out avail. Alany of ,their warriors had fallen beneath_ the unerring -rifles of the avengers. This maddened the'foe, and they resolved to use fire. Soon wary cabin was in flames, save that occupied by the defenders. The sight was mournful ono tcrall but the savages, who danced around in devilish glee. Presently a terrible volley was, opened upon the redskins. It came frinn the woods close at hand. The besieged kiiewbat asSistanec had, arrived; - and fhey darted from the cabin, while wa cheer burst from their, lips. It was answered by a terrible sho'ut ; and now the unseen party appeared. The savages had already taken to flight, leaving l'i, - Ufgo number of killed behind them. They plunged into the river, and gained the opposite bank as best they could, not even 'pausing there, but push ing rapidly towards their stronghold in the mountain. • - - • ..... Those who had so timihy arrived Wore weary with their long march, and:re quired a few hours rest. But it was decided to follow up the Citnianclies witlaut necessarydelay. ,Daylight came, and a search was made among the ruins of the block house. The charred re mains of an Indian were found,. but it was decided that it ,was not Wontoni. Nothing could be discovered of Jennie . . Soon after the body of the friendly Indian .was found,,:and the manner of ' • his death was plain. Hero, was a mystery. At ten o'clock that day . over three hundred well•armed determined avengers sot out for the camp of Warlopri. They calculated; from the distance, that they would be able to reach it by dark the second evening._ "No quarter to the accursed Cainanclies" was the watch word. They, „felt confident of success. The friendly LaPans acted .as guides. Whop 'Jennie Moore found herself really a captive, ,she' : did not give away to ~g rief as most maidens would havel dope, On On contrary, , sho was very cheerful,. and : often she buret out hi a song, Making the mountains ,and valleys echo again.' .She had a . double i motive in this. in !the that place .it ; pleased! the . , .

When it was over the ahief said : " White Bird sings-well—she must be come my wife." " When do you propose to do me that honor ?" - "To-night." • , " To-night !" she repeated, With tIH shudder, as she v7,ed around., The chief seemed to • divine her• thought, and continued : "Yes, to-night you rest in Warlopa's arms. You can not escape, and your frowns will not avail. lam a great chief. My. lodge is black With scalps of the pale face ; my hands are red With their - blood. ,The pale maiden's chief, is dead. I killed him. Ile is gone to the hunting grounds. Palo face maiden see him no more." "Did you kill Colonel Pool?" she asked, her eyes flashing fire. "Ough • "And my father and mother?" . •" All fell beneath the hatchet of the red man. Your valley is laid bare. In the ashes.of your , home lay that you love. Where stood the Pale faces of yesterday is now smouldering ashes of their homes. Palo maiden's friends are gone. She will see them no more. For soniO time Jennie rerimined silent and 'several tear drops fell from her oyes. „put she became suddenly cheerful again and said : "Well, if I•have lost all, I suppose I may as well be content to live -a-wild-Kai-and I have no doubt but that I can find muolt enjoyment. I think I shall make a capital Indian wife. You don't know what I can do. Why, venture to say I can heat you with a rifle now." " Ough "I "Don't you believe inn I"' she cried " Well, we will see. Take your weapon and split yonder saplipgwith We bullet." The chief tired, but missed hiS mark. Jennie laughed derisively, and ex claimed : "Nosy load and let - me try.' The ijfie n•as charqd and handed her A largo number of warriors - were watching her She raised the weapon to her .stroulder, and "aimed toward the sapling No one dreamed of her intentions. She hesitated a moment, and while still retaining her position, hissed through her teeth. " Chief, your lodge is bNck with the scalps of the pale feces, your hands are _redWith their blood. You killed the pale' face chief, my father, mother and lover. Now receive your reward." Quick as thought she changed the direction of her rifle, and fired. liyarlopa uttered a howl and fell back dead. The heroic maiden had shot him through the heart. _Fo.r..fi time the savages did not utter,a sound—they appeared to be stricken dumb with surprise. But soon tiny re covered, and, the most fiendish yells burst forth. It seemed that she would be in stantly torn to pieces, but an Indian in terposed and 'Fiavei her. She was lashed to a tree, and brushwood heaped around her: She felt that there - was no hope, and she resolved to meet death without exhibiting any weakness. The sun was low in the west. • The avengers had pushed forward with ,all possible . speed, and had arrived within half a mile of the caniti. It had boon decided to delay the attack until mid. night. A guide was sent alleaii to reconnoitre. Ho stealthily approached. the camp, and at a glance saw what had transpired. Ho was satisfied, what thB result would be, so ho hastened back and informed his friends. An advance was immediately ordered, and it was not long before three hupdrecl rifles were leveled in deadly aim at the hearts of the Gallia nclies, while They were still unconscious of danger. Then came the volley, followed by a charge, deadly in ite results. The Tudians attempted re sistance, but it With a feeble one, and brief. Many of their number escaped by flight, but the dead covered the ground in every direction. That lelison and • the one received at the settlement were indeed salutary ones, and the Comanches (lid not spec venture to molest the white man again. The joy of .Tennie was great when she found that her parents and he• lover were still alive ; and the joy they experienced 'at the recovery of their treasure was no less than her own. - TIM ADROIT SWORDSM AN. —Pulask I t as it is well known, was as adroit swords man as he was perfect in horsemanship, and lie ever rode a powerful and fleet charger.

A. week or two ago one of nitr report ers had occasion to•refer to a cortdin wo man whom we as a "denizen'' A day or two afterward a Loge man entered the office, with his brow clothed with thunder.

With the fearlessness of conscious in nocence we sat merely inserting our legs in two sections of stove pipe to guard-against any misapprehension of facts on the part- ofthe dog.

He had Broken his heavy chains As Samson broke the withes—bad torn open the door of the cell—torn the keeper, literally in pieces—burst open the door—killed the watchman, with n heavy iron bar he ,Wilenehed from the door 7 and escaped with his formidable.weapon into the city. The whole place was aghast at thii news ; and wo students at the hospital and dis secting room, who were eounected with the asylum, had to nerve ourselves to help.capturfs the escaped wild beast. I bad gone 'to the dissecting room,. alone, and was about to commence using the knife on a subject. There was a sterol raging, and with a low sob the wind swelled through the long aisle 'of forest trees, and flashed with the gath ered forco of an ocean wave against the `detid-house. Simultaneously,, a hand struck the light door, and the yell of a maniac rang through and through my brain. _ ' Above the door, through the small ventilator, the face of the madman and the murderer peered down r at me. "Ab, halailiave caught you at last— here—and alone I have been waiting for you.. You took Inc once, didn't you! Ha, ha ! Let me in." • The coolness of imminent peril brought my powers to action. I held his eye an instant ; but it was evident ho was too wilil.for that; Lis blood. was up, and it raved with eager ferocity through 'the room and over the frail walls. With the light bound of a leopard I gained the door, and shut the double holt. Agleam of rage darted from his eye ; but he " ha I 'Yon think that will keep me out ?" He leaped to the ground. In, an in stant the light was out. . • " Wait," I cried, "I have a weapon in my hand keen as a razor. It is poisi , oiled 'by the dead body I hart been working on. Burst the door, and I'll plunge in in your heart. If it but touch you, you are a dead man. You may kill me, but I'll kill you as certain as there is a Hod."' The -swarthy giant shook the door until its hinges creaked and groaned beneath his hand. Then laughing again low to himself, nmitercd, "fool, I'll out wit you yet l" and then stole off in the daticness. I heard him, for an instant, pressing against the wall of the build ing, and it swayed and bent inwards with the weight, Then silence. The din of my pulses made thunder in my ears, as I tried to hear his -Mating tread, and the sobbing wind rose anew ,with weird shriek,_ making my efforts fruit less. A thousand times ,I heard his low devilish, murderous laugh, A. thousand times I felt his brawny strength against the door, and saw Isis wild faco look down at me through the gloom ; but still- Ise did not come. I tried to think he had abandoned the design, and slunk oil' discouraged ; bat I knew it was not so—' I knew he was crouching in sonic corner, on the watch to spring on me when I passed. Could I stay there all night I No cer tainly not. An. hour more, and Harry Leigh (my young wife's brother) would come to see me—come unconscious of this hanger, until a bloodhound at his thmat would choice the brave young life down there forever. CZ I listened, in the interv4liii of the now fitful storm, to hear if lie was breathing near me.' I waited for the nextlull. It came—that deep Inkih that follows the gusty wind. I put Aiy soul in'the sense of hearing, but- no human shadow or sound greeted it. When the storm swelled again, I drew the bolt, and looked into the night; black pall bung over the earth and, sky. I had as good a chance to pass him in the obscurity as he to catch me. Willi my knife in my teeth and the massive thigh bone of a negro to tell him if I innst, I drew oil nay -shoes, and stopped Out into the darknesi. A sudden whirl of the tempest almost took me off my feet, and a black, dislolved from one of the chimneys, grazed my head in its passage, and brelze in half mt •a'e pave ment.

I felt his hot breath like steam—the fUam of his set jaws flung across my face—and he stopped. I felt that ho was feeling for me—that he was crouching on the stones. I saw the red of his eyeballs glare up at me through the darkness. I felt the touch of his icy flesh on my hand.

Around the blazing gate, in, the clos ing hour of the tempest-tossed night, we shook hands over the gladness of our reunion and after the Story was over, and the horror first, and, the laughter after (at the close of my adventure), and Derby and King had left, and Harry Leigh and I stood at the window watch ing the young winter day vise over the hills, there was something very like tears over the bright blue eyes as lie .pointed to the grated walls of the mad-house; and said, "Constance would have gone there, Keene, or died, and mine would have been a heavy, heavy life after." . (CAPTAIN KIDD A REARM FOR RIDDEN TREASURES -At the present time it is said that two expeditions, sustained by considerable capital, are pursuing the search for _cap tain Kidd's money, one somewhere in New England, and the other at Oak Island, Nova Sc&ia. No one has for .gotten the huge stuns of nioncy sunk in a coffer-dam on the North River, a few yettrs'sYnce in, the search afteriine . of Kidd's vessels loaded with hold and yi:r and diamonds; and it is probable, that, the two expeditions above-named are math° only seekers. Here and there along our shot es it is not uncommon to see ono;. two or three individuals pur suiug the saute search. On the whole, it is probable that a „ great many people. - really4ielieve, that the treasure Riz, be found. A few facts, ddiere 7 fore. where there is so much ratio., may be worth recalling. ' : _ Doubtless ono of the most terrible names in the juvenile literattm of. Eng land and English America, during the last century and a half, has' boon that of •William Kidd, t.ho pirate. In the nursery. legend, in' story and in son - g, his nettle has stood forth as the boldest and bloodiest - of buccaneers. The terror of. the 'ocean, when abroad, he returned from his successive voyages td lino oal• coasts with silver and gold, and to renew with 'the devil a leagno, cemented with the blood of 'victims idiot down, whenever fresh returns of the precious ineto.s.,itSre to•Jio hidden: •Ac. cording to the superstitions of COnnecti ,cut and Long itt..was owing to these bloody charms that honest money diggers have ever experienced so much difficulty in recovering the barled treas ures.• Often, indeed, beim the lids of the iron chest rung beneath the mattock of the stealthy midnight searcher for gold; but the caches of .stilpifutous fires, blue and red, mad the sauber-eyes and chat tering teeth of legions of demons have uniformly internosed te frighten the del 'vers' from their• greedy 'clutches._ But not Withstanding ~the hairrowlng sensa tions connected, with the name of Kidd, and hie renown as a pirate, he was'-but .ono of the last and most inconsiderable of that race of sea-robbers, who during Along series of ' years in tho seventeenth century, 'wore the .admiratioa 011 the -world for their ipowers; and its .terror for their crimes. . In thit latter part of thestrienteentlt century,, Icidd was in. command •of • a 'merchalt" vessel trading -bet Ween Now Yorkband - London,ncb,'svas celebrated foi•fils nautical skit and enterprise. The' first mention him in authentic colonial, history occurs iirlool,"in, which year, the ".Journals of the New York Assembly" toll us that on the eighteenth day of April much credit was allowed to be duo him "for the manygood services done for the province, in attending with his vessels." But "hi what,,capacity or for what object ho thus attended with his vessels does not appear. It was also, declared that he ought to be suitably re , warded.. Accordingly, on the foUrteenth of May following, it Was ordered by the same Assembly "that the sum of £l5O be paid to Captain Kidd as 'a suitable acknowledgment for thedmportant bene fits which the colonies bad received from his hands." The - -presumption is that' those services were in some way 'con. nested with the protection of the colonial merchant marine front the attacks of the pirates: - wirto were at times hovering along the coasts °Ube northern colonies. Indeed, the harbor of New York was - no stranger to the, pirate vessels, and the commerce between them and the "peo ple of figure" in this city was not It was no great secret that the pirates were frequently in the Sound, and were freely supplied with provisions by the inhabitants of Long Island; and , still further, it is well known in the year 1695 that tho English freebooters had fitted out their vessels in the-'very-harbor-of'-New York itself. - On the arrival of the pirate vessels from their cruises their goods were openly sold in the city ; and the conduct of the colonial governm u thit was such that col lusion; •jf not direct partnerships, be tween them and the public authorities was not Such Was the condition of affairs when Robert Livingston, of New York, recom mended to Governor Bellamout Captain Kidd, as a man of integrity and courage. well acquainted with the pirates and their places of rendezvous, and as one in all respects fit to be entrusted 'N'''itlt the command of a vessel engaged in such diacultnervice. A ship was'accordingly procured and equipped, and placed tin. der the command of Kidd, who sailed front New York under a regular com mission, in April, 1696. For a time he served faithfully ; and on his return from his first voyage he was received with public honors and awarded ;mother grant of £250. But on his next voyage It, stretched away to the Indian Ocean and became a pirate himself,' Selecting the Islandof Madagascar ati 'llls principal place of rendezvous, and burning his own ship, after capturing one that suited him better, his depredations upon commerce' are represented to have been great. It is beyond doubt true that Long' Is land sound contained several of his hid ing places. "Kidd's Rook" is well known at Manhasset, upon Long Island, to this day. Here he is .supposed to have buried some of his treasures ;,.,and. many have been the attempts of the credulous in this ',fiction to find the hid den gold. There is also no doubt that he waswont to hide himself 'and his mes• sel - among those, curious rocks in Sachem's Head harbor called the Thim ble Islands. In addition to the "Pirate's cavern," in this vicinity, therq is upon one of these rocks, sheltered front the view of the sound, a beautiful artificial excavation of an oval form, holding, per haps, the meastwo of a barrel, called " Kidd's Puna Bowl." It; 'was here, according to, the traditions of the neigh horhooa, that he used to carouse with his crew. It is a fact beyond controversy that he was accustomed to anchor his vessels in Gardner's Bay. On ono men sion, in the night, he landed upon Gard der's Island and requested Mrs. Gardner to proVide a sapper for himself and at tendants. Knowing his desperate char acter she dated not refuse ; and fearing his displeasure she took great pains, es pecially,in roasting a pig. The pirate chief was so pleased with tier culinary success that on going away he presented her with a cradle blanket of gold cloth. It was of velvet inwrought with gold, and very rich. A.small piece of it yet remains in possession of the lamily. On another occasion, also, when he lauded upon. the island. he buried a casket of gold, silver and precious stories in pre sence of Mr. Gardner, but under the most solemn injunction of secrecy. Repairing soon after this occurrence to Boston, where' Lord 13ellamout chanced to be nrthe tim , .; - he Was'sunnnoned fore his lordship and ordered to give a report of his proceedings since ho had Sailed on his second voyage. Refusing, however, to comply with this demand, ho was arrested on the third 'of July, 1699, on:the charge of piracy.

I have seen Ow original re ceipt for the amount, with the different items of the deposits--'The sum was by no means large, and affords evidence of no such mighty sweepings of the sea as have been told of by tradition. • Of gold, in coins, gold dust, and bars, there: were 766 ounces ; of silver, 106 ounces ; and of precious ff tones, 16 ounces. Meanwhile Kidd was taken to Eng lanrlltried on an indictment for piracy and murder, and hung in chains, with six of his crew.' -In addition to the in-. • dictment tor piracy, Ito was indicted for the Murder of one. of his owti . subordi nate officers named Moore, witom he killed in it quarrel by striking Ilim on UM head with a bucket. lie wits con victed upon both charges, but protested to the last that ho was a victim of con spiracy and perjury. • , Susilioions wore entertained by the public that the execution was a sham ; that the, government dared not put hint to death,.and that to avoid disclosures man of straw was hung in his place. In proof of thiii assertion it was 'generally and positiyely alleged. that ,Eidd , had ll lien seen alive and welt: nyany years afterwards by those : who could not be mistaken as to, his identity.

Prohibitory Act baying been . passed iiiffiniMary, 1852. It was repealed two or three years afterward, but reenacted the next year, and..bas over since held its place on the ;statute book, though Our Ciyil War induced great laxity iri its execution and a very general audacity in its violation. About three thousand places at length . existed ~where liquor was more or lose openly. Sold despite Its inhibitions, which are sub stantially these : " 1. The sale of all intoxicating liquior, distilled or fermented, is prohibited, Save by single sworn agents for medicinal purposes. 2. Where liquOrs are found, they are seized and confiscafed ; and wherever they are suspected to be kept,. Officers may procure a warrant and serireh the premises. 3. Keeping intoxicating liquors with intent to sell, is violation of the law. 4. For proof of having , sold one glass, the tine is $2O, and a bend' of $l,OOO not to offend 5. For a 'second offence, the penalty is increased to flue and imprisonment, 60 days; or more. 6. The seller is held responsible for all damages, losses, expense,' of sick. : ness,.injuries, &c., caused by his liquor. And, 7. Property owners, who know ingly rent any building for this illegal' traffic, are hold liable." cTho Waf being ended, the Legislature soon proceeded (March 1, 18070 to en- force Prohibition by creating a State constabulary expressly to suppress liquor selling. Here is the gist of the instruc tions given by-the chief Constable to his district deputies "Immediately after receiving your commission, proceed to learh who aro en.: gaged in the unlawful' sale of Intoxica ting liquors within 'your jurisdiction. Call. upon them personally, and kindly ask them to abandon the liquor traflic at once. Make a record of each person's name, his place of business, and his an swer to your request, reporting the same to me. "After notice has lama given to a violator of the law, and the e4ttee, is not heeded, then visit ,the offender with the whole strength of the law, in eve r ry form possible ; for much of your success will depend upon the energy with which this in done." This procedure caused two-thilds of the three thousand liquor sellers to abandon the , business. The rest have been under discipline over since. Still, liquor selling is not wholly suppressed, any more thom gambling or adultery is by the legal prohibition of these vices under the laws of this and other States. Gov. Chamberlain, in his message . for 870, says : '" The laws against intoxicating li quors are as well executed and obeyed as the laws against profanity, theft, nn chastity, ormurder." To the same effeit, ...Gov. Perham, in his message last January, says : " . " . later yoare; .. of. discussion, Maine adopted thePolty of prohibition, and the present law, whore it iienferced, se far as I can judge, as effective in the suppression.of the traffic as are other criminal lasVs against the crimes they are intended to prevent. In a majority of our counties, the law appears to be well executed, with. very favorable re sults." In Maine, the total collections -of Federal internal revenue arum distilled and fermented liquors is $97,805 per an num. ,In New Jersey, it is $593,025. Like. contrasts between Statest which prohibit and those which do not, are general. Rev. Ovid Miner, who bas been trav ersing the State as an observer, and from ,whose.'"eport we condense the above, says':' "Notwithstanding the - present in crease in certain towns of illegal selling —the principle of prohibition is practi cally and thoroughly maintained in the tura' districts and *small .villages, ern bracing three-fourths of the whole popu lation of the Sate. Scores of gentlemen assured me that this is undeniable. And although first-class hotels and fashion able drinking houses are seldom ar raingcd, still there is not a week, nor scarcely a day, in the cities where liquor is supposed to run freest,,that violators of the law are not arrested and fined. This is notorious. "The Sheriff of Cumberland county informed me (as substantially did othor ofllcial.o_that._`.tho,_enforecraentmf-tho z , Liquor Law had undoubtedly reformed and saved many."Phat, during and since the war liquor bad rim more 4eely, and that young men of the cities were ' falling into WOVAC habits oT tippling. 'But,' he added is mt. so in. the coun try.' iitt the least doubt but the law is of great valve to the whole State; nor that prohibition is the tled-policy of thei4plo„Thera4ill a waking up, too, ere long, to its thOrough enforcement. ' " The Yortland City Marshal informed me that ' three-fourths and more of the liquor-selling wits in low Irish tenements and cellars, and that nearly all arrests by the were foreigners.' Al 4 though houses patronized by the rielr and fashionable undoubtedly moll liquors • in more or leas concealed ways,. and :IVO' winked out of sight, yet violations of the law were being constantly reported and punished.' "rho law is admirable ,to repress, and I do ant knotv how we could live here without it, Formerly there were public -disturbances and fightings nearly every Sabbath. Now, Sabbaths in Portland aro quiet as a country Nil. lade.' It is evident'thaf. suppressing the liquor traffic- greatly diminishes and drives out of sight the social evil.
