Matters of Legislation.
The Legislature of the State of New
York is now exercised over the New York
Excise Law, which imposes some regtraints,
upon the free liquor selling, 'pigevclent in
that modern Sodom, arid; gave. to the Chris-
tian Sabbath a degree of' quiet and exemp-
tion fiom ruin-riot and brawling hitherto un-
known. The party now in power in that
State, is pledged to its repeal, and it proba-
bly now only waits on other matters Ofpat-
ronagc for its cxpurgatiou from the statute
book. On the other hand, among the mass-
es of sober people in that State, and indeed
throughout the country, the question of
what shall be done to” stay the flood-gates
of iutemperance which now, worse than ev-
er before, are devastating our fair land,—
challenges the most serious attention. All
through the eastern portions of our own
State, the frigthful increase of thiscvilsincc
the war, has awakened renewed zeal and
more earnest efforts for its suppression, and
we are-glad to learn that these humanitari-
an. efforts are spreading even‘ to us.
The Division Of the Sons of Temperance
in this town, a noble, peiscvcring little:
band, we are informed, are resolved upon
renewed efforts to save the young men of
our town who, are making mad andrapid
speed to destruction. They also contem-
plate the procuring of reliable. statistics,
. showing the increase of intempcrance in our
midst, as is also being done throughout the
State, which statistics are. to be submitted to
our Legislature next~ Mpy, The natural rc-
sult of these mdvfimenis will undoubtedly
be some modification of our prohibitory liq-
uor laws. Laws, however are of little
avail, so long as custom and fashion, and
the habits of the respectable, the wealthy
and the influential, and especially those
professing Christianity, countenance moder-
ate drinking. The pulpit, the press and the
good in all society, will have to be roused
up to that appreciation of the terrible prov—~
alence Of this evil, that will brace up by an
improved public sentiment, any enactments
that be made, else they willbo worse than
useless. Nevertheless, that new restrictive
legislation will be resorted to, is apparent to
the mostoasual—observcr of the signs of the
in???
Another matter of gravest moment, and.
affecting most seriously our material inter—
ests, is the apprentice system of mechanic
labor.
and the State of New York is taking the in-
itiative in efforts of legal enactment, to rem-
edy the evil. Gov. Hoffman made earnest
allusion to the needful- reform, in his last;
message, and now the press is everywhere
takinghold-of-the subject. The new York:
Times, in speaking of' the present wretched—
ly, unworkmanlike way in which buildings
are erected, despite the high and even cxor~
bit-ant prices charged, says:
‘~‘ From basement to the rOof the duty of
giving fair labor for fair pay is neglected,
and the result is a structure which before
long costs as much for repairs- as it would
have cost in the shape of rent. Even the
contractor cannot prevent this, unless he
- stands behind the workmen all day, which
he is hardly likely to do. ‘ Naturally, very
ma . people are deterred from this
kind of investment. And when added to
willful neglect or idleness, it is found that

at fires on hand machines, the capacity of a

water on the fire, for an unlimited timo,etc.,
are strong arguments in favor of dispensing
with at least the poorest of our machines,
and purchasing one good engine upon which
we can place dependence at, all times. In

destruction property worth ten times the

“ We believe that the part played by the

sponsible for the present condition of things,
for by their action, by compelling uniform
prices to all .workmen, of a single trade,
combining against employers who would
discriminate in favor of the skillful and in;
dustrious, ,and forcing independent work-
men who could command good places to
forego their.own advantage for the sake of
less useful laborers—reduces the laboring
class to a dead level, and, by forcing goOd

courages thriftlessness and carelessness. 'In

interest especially at heart, are shortsiglit.

“ But the cry for a. good apprentice sys-
tem is well founded, nevertheless. Under
' the present law there is no- system; boys
come and go, leave one place and seek an-
other, learn little tradc and much vice, ac-
quire bad habits of irregularity anddshift—
lessness, and produce in the ‘space-of ten
years the condition to which we have come.
Good pay cannot buy good work. Good work-
men are the rarest thing in the market. The
vicious classes Of our great city (whicbsup-
plies the country ‘with accomplished roughs 5
and criminals, as well as with most other
things) is constantly recruited, from the half
grown men, who, having been subjected to
no training, having well learned no useful
employment or trade, find it easier and least
pleasanter to their deteriorating tastes to
steal a living than to work for it.
Th’ is no reproach to those who do work
and w o rightly take pride in their honora-V
bio and useful lives, furnishing as they do an
indispensable and fundamentally necessary
element in. the great' structure of the ' com-
monwealth. It is, on the contrary, to the
credit of every man who, under the discour-
agements of the present loose and inefficient
laws, has the manliness and sense to stand
to hiawor-k and learn well his trade. But
all the well disposed should be helped by a
law compelling their masters to teach, train
and care for 010m, as well as use them.

As we all expect to be en] yingI before
another year is out the bliss .of elos'tial
servants in our kitchens, we may be inter-
ested to know how the Chinese weddings
come off in this, their land of adoption.
One recently occurred at Grass Valley, Cali-
fornia, _of 'which we read that Tin Ti . made
his appearance at the church first and alone.
It was not high-toned amon the Chinese
for the bride and groom to e present to-
gether at the marriage ceremonly. He was
dressed in, a dove-colored b ouse, knee
breecbes, blue stockings, fancy shoes
and embroidered skull cap. Tin Ti having
departed from the church, the bride came
up in gorgeous toggery, having her hair
set up in a ridge across the middle of her
head, from front to back, with paste and
lar e gilded pins, some six inches high,
“a1 ec same roostor’s head," as an irrever-
ent Chinaman spectator remarked. Below
her head she wore a frock, which hung
loosely from her shoulders, and made of
fine silk. This was looped up .under her
left arm to one dollars worth of gold but-
tons. The bottom of this rig was. about a
foot from the ground and below it were
white stockings and fancy shoes, with solés
three inches thick. It was manifest to wit-
ness that‘she was agitated, and that her
nerves were anything but stead . She was,
in spite all remarks, put through in pro er
shape,'accordin to the notion oer. an
Roe and "the Jos cs have of the marriage
ceremony, and then she was turned loose to
find the alarms of herself.»

Extract from a private letter received
from Georgia: .
" I was present at the opening of the Leg-
islature to see the colored delegates take
theirseats. Col. Harris, appointed by qu.
Bullock to organize, was in the chair. At
12 m. the members seats were filled, the gal-
leries thronged—the gavel descended, and
Rev; Mr. Francis was called upon to offer
prayer. Then commenced the work of the
day—administering the oath, the test oath
(not the ‘iron clad’). This excludes those
only, who once held office under the.
U. S. Government, and then engaged in re-
bellion.
This work proceeded quietly and tediously
for a short time, interrupted only by the
reading and filing of protests against the el-
igibility of several who were called forward
to take the oath. The chair then ordered
the reading of Gen. Terry’s opinion of the
oath,or something of that sort. Col. Bry-
ant, member for a Republican constituency,
but whose real sentiments it is doubtful if
he himselfknows, rose and protested against
this reading, as calculated to intimidate.
The chair called the gentleman to order as
not qualified, not having been as yet sworn
in. Mr. Bryant persisted, the chdir persist.
ed. Great excitement ensued. The chair
ordered the Sergeant-at—Arm’s to "put him
out.’ Mr. Bryant defied the sergeant.
Amidst cries of ‘ Bryant, Bryant," ‘ Put him
out,’ Gen. Terry,’ Take your scat,’ general
commotion and applause in the galleries,
and hideous yells, Mr. Bryant was gesticula-
ting in the most vehement manner and at:
tempting to speak. The Sergeants, silly
cowards! were afraid to do their duty. The
Democrats rallied around Bryant. AlmOst
every white member was on the floor or on
the chairs. Pistols were drawn, I did not
see them,but others did. This increased
the excitement and the call for ‘ Terry ’ and
‘ soldiers.’ Tne prudent and disinterested.
rushed for the doors.
The papers tell how Mr. Bryant mounted
on chairs and finally on desks, elected an-
other Speaker, &c., adjourned the House,
and forbid any to leave. This was so. But
they do not state that the colored members
were the only orderly persons in the house.
They retained their seats with scarce an ex-
ception—none that I noticed. They neither
‘ pitched in,’ at the beginning, nor ran away
at the close. They took no noticeable part,
except once, ‘towud- the last, to hiss Mr.
Bryant. The colored gallery was also the
best behaved of the three.
> You have heard me mention the Bryonts
aspur friends. His course is greatly to be
deplored, it seems. The colored people can-
not trust bim. These cases influence them
to distrust all N orthcrncrs.
Order was finally restored by a message
from Gen. Terry, in reply to a Committee
sent by Col. Bryant, and the ‘ swearing ’ was
resumed. We spent but a few moments in
the Senate. Lively times there, also. ,
I have mentioned these few points, be-
cause the Atlanta papers report so falsely.”

A correspondent to the Tribum gives the
following facts about onions most of them
authenticated by several witnesses. When
at New Orleans in charge of 100 men among
whom cholerg “'55.-.. ‘ g be observed
thatthom who ate free] of onions were
surely and fatally attacked; be has however
found onions specially potent in cases of
poisonous bites, his son and others having
been cured from snake bites by their use.
He also knows of a a man who in frenzy of
hydrophobic ate onions voraciously and re-
covered. In eases of epidemic he has ob
served 1: That onions in a room with
small-pox patients decay rapidly, blisters
appearing on them. 2: That they retain
and communicate the virus many weeks. 3.
That the prevent the small-pox by thus ab-
sorbingt c virus. 4: That when applied
to the feet of fever patients they quickly
turn black. He infers from these fuels that
onions possess strong medical properties,
that they should not be eaten during epi-
demics, and that they are probably among
the most efiectivé absorbent: of b ood poi-

A coat that has the mark of use. upon it is

derogatory circumstance: The best coats in
Broadway are on the backs of penniles fops,
broken-down merchants, clerksiwith pitiful
salaries, and men who do not pay up. The
heaviest gold chains dangle from the fobs of
gamblers and gentlemen of very limited
means; costly ornaments on ladies indicate
to the eyes that are well ‘opcned the fact of
a silly lover or husband cramped for funds.
And when a pretty woman goes by in plain
and neat apparel, it is the presumption that

CALIFORNIA Bunnies—An old friend
at South Norwalk has taken the agency for
Brannan’s California Wines and Brandies,
and sends us a bottle to verify in part the
good qualities claimed for it. NOW our
judgment as to what constitutes good Wine
or Brandy is very poor indeed, but we can
bear positive and personal testimony to
what is doubtless a great deal better, and
will prove more satisfactory to invalid for
whom these liquors are especially designed-
We have made personal inspection of the
Brannon distillcries at Calistoga and we can
attest to their extreme cleanliness, to the
care taken in selecting and expressing the
juice from the grapes and to the delicious
quality of the gmpes themselves. We think
our party disposed of near a bushel Of Mr.
Brannan’s grapes, in the course Ofa day, and
had they been of an inferior species or vari-
ety that feat would never have been perform-
ed, we arc certain. We know also that
among exports in wine and brandy sipping in
San Francisco, the Brennan brands'pass as
superior to European liquors.

Sunday Schools in Virginia.
A Mssionary of the . Americdn Sunday
School Union, in writing to a gentleman in
New York says:
“ Since August, I have visited several
counties—Fauqnier, Cuipcpper, and others,
in which I find a great need and call for
Sunday SchOols. In each of the two nam-
ed, I startcd a school, and visited and cm
couraged others.
“ Yesterday I formed a Sunday School for
the colored people in a new place called
Evergreen, on the South Side Railroad. Be-
sides this, I have prepared the way for cs-
tablishing other schools, and have made ex-
ertions to induce schools to keep up during
the winter, which is not the custom of many
because of the Open condition of their
school houses, with the sparsoness of the
population and the bad state of the roads. I
have the promise of continuance on the
part of. some of them.
“ A very interesting work of grace is go-
ing on in several of the congregations with
which some of my Sunday School: are con-
nected, both among the white and colored
people. Some of the scholars are among
the converts. The Great Day will reveal to
what extent the precious teachings and ex-
ercises in our Sunday Schoolshave prepar-
ed hearts in these communities for this pre-
cious work. _ I-have been much encouraged
by what the‘Lord has enabled me to accom-
plish thus far.”——N. Y. Obserter.

A SITUATION Crux—The romance of the

the people of the North and South had
peeked their flints for the final shot. Once
in a while, however, there comes a remini-
scence which shows Sambo’s native humor,
and how irrtsistable was his hankering for
the “boon of freedom.” Before the war
there came into the bar-room of a hotel in
Canada, near the frontier, o brio‘ht-looking

eminent persons usually found in such
resorts .‘ '
“I s’pose you’re a runaway slave,” said
one, lookino' sharply at the new-comer.
Feeling that he was pretty well away
from bondage, the darkey responded that
he was.
‘ Ah, indeed: well, we’re glad of it: but
youdon’t seem to look very poor—have good
clothes down South ?”
“Certainly,” said the darkey, with some
pride. ‘
“Same clothes as my master.”
“But you got many a good thrashing, eh 1”
“Never had a whipping in my life."
"N ever thrashed !’ said another ; “well,

CONSUMPTION AND CANCER CURED.
WAL'I'IIAM, Mass., Nov. 12, 1868.
_ My grandmother and several aunts and cousins
died of consumption. My mofiier bad a cancer; I was
taken with a bad cough which had affected me 18
months; 12 months after my cough commenced, can-
cers began in both breasts, which grew rapidly for
six months, hard cancerous lumps in both breasts.
In this state I called on you with but little hope, as
both my lungs were affected, and a cancer in each
breast. Consumption and cancer seemed to struggle
which would destroy me first. I had snfi'ered much
from dyspepsia. Your remedies, with the concentra-
ted cancer mineral sprin water have wholly cured
me. I have been perfect y well fortwo months; no
cou h or expectoration; no swelling in my breasts;
no yspepsia; no lpain or suffering. Everywhere I
am strong and ab e to perform all my duties. I took
medicines four months. .
