Near Shore.
Earth is our little island home, .
And Heavtn the neighboring continent,
Whence winds to every inlet come,
With balmiest scent,
And tenderest whispers thence we hear
From those who lately sailed across;
They love us still; since heaven is near,
Death is not loss.
From mountain slopes of breeze and balm,
What melodies arrest the ear; 9
What memories ripple through the calm .
We'll keep near shore.

CHAPTER II.
Having in the article on the above sub-
500", which appeared last week in this paper,
spoken in terms of decided reprehension of
the license law passed by the General Assem-
bly of1372, it may have occured to some that
I should have assigned the reason upon which
ny unfavorable: Opinion is based. To all
such, if any there were, be it known that I
could not do so within the limits which Ihad
prescribed to myself under a sense of obliga-
tion to the editor of this paper. But I now
recur to the subject for the purpose, and. feel
.issured that I can fully sustain the position
which 1 have taken, and abundantly justify
any severity of language which I have used.
In the first place, I have to say that the
act of 1872 is a vastly better law as it stands
.m the pages of the statute book than has
been the execution, of it by the public
authorities. While Idecidedly disapprove of
Elie policy thus inaugurated, I affirm that
illflt act has by those authorities been most
\vretchcdly treated, and that the provisions
iii the law and the proceedings taken under
llIC pretence of executing it, can scarcely be
said to be first cousins to each other. Let
us attend to the details.
The act provides that the county com-
missioners of each county shall, upon the
recommendation of the selectrnen of the
town in which such business is to be carried
nil, license by a writing signed by them suit-
able persons to sell or exchange intoxicating
liquors in said county. (meaning in such town)
with variety of other provisions in the nature
of qualifications not material to be here men-
llOlIed. Here it will be observed, that action
by the selectmeu first is made indispensible
to any right of the county commissioners to
act—the selectmeu must take the initiative,
and until they act, that is to say recommend
.«omcbody, they (the. county commissioners)
have no jurisdiction, that is to say, power to
license anybody. But when the former do
so, then the county commissioners can in-
quire whether the party recommended is a
suitable person, and if they conclude in the
affirmative then they are to grant a license,
and not until then. Now, I have to say that
Et has been assumed by boards of selectmeu
throughout the state that it is their duty, or
if not, that they have a right to recommend
for a license every man or concern who ap-
plies, unless it appears affirmatively that
such person or persons are unsuitable or not
lit to be intrusted with the rigirt or privliege
sought. They have everywhere acted on the
idea that it is to be presumed that every
man who wants to sell grog is to be deemed
a suitable person to sell it, and then the coun-
ty commissioners have everywhere acted on
another idea that they may, in place of them-
selves inquiring lnto the suitableness of the
party aspiring to the honor of grog vendition
(as an occupation), may pin their faith on
the sleeves of the selectmeu, and may con-
clude that such aspirant is suitable because
the selectmeu recommend, and that, ton,
when the law does not charge them with the
duty of making any such inquiry. Now I insist
that llu's lea monstrous perversion oftlw act of
1872, and for reasons to justify this opinion
I refer to extracts from a communication
from my own pen to this paper October 20,
1874, which extracts appear in the appendix
to this article. The question of suitableness
is a complex one, and involves two inquiries
(1)how many retailers do the public conven-
ience and the public welfare require for this
town? and that being fixed then the next in-
quiry arises, which is, W110 are the most
fit or suitable persons for this occupation?
The moment this question is settled every
other applicant becomes unfit. I affirm that
the disregard of this obvious distinction is
and has been a flagrant violation of the act
of 1872, and has been attended with the most
frightful evils.
One of the strongest objections that I
have to the act of 1872 is based on the fact
'that there is no provision requiring the coun-
ty commissioners to make any report of their
doings in the premisis either to the executive
or the legislative authorities of the state.
Hence this whole thing is wrapped up in
darkness, which would seem to be appropimte,
as it is nothing but evil,and that continually.
The undersigned has for several years made
endeavors to get this defect in the law amend-
ed, and for that and other kindred purposes
be, last ii inter, soon after the general assem-
bly was organized, incurred the trouble and
expense of a journey to Hartford, and as
usual he appeared before the joint committee
on temperance, (for they always amuse them-
selves with such a conrmittec) and as usual
accomplished nothing! But after the act of
1872 had been in operation about eight months
the undersigned, by correspondence with
county commissioners, suceeded in collecting
statistics of proceedings under this act, and
it turned out that the whole number of licen-
ses issued in the state to retailers up to that
date was 1691, of which over one‘half were
accorded too three towns of New Haven, the
Hartford and Bridgeport as follows:

It is the abuses practiced in granting re-
tail license with which I am dealing and of
which I complain. lam not aware of any
abuses in licensing the wholesale trade. Cer-
tainly it does not by direct operation add to
the vast array of drunkards at one end,
which at the other are plunging headlong
into the grave. But nevertheless, I add the
particulars so that my readers may have the
whole subject before them.
These statistics, much more in detail were
published and vigorovsly commented on by
the undersigned in a pamphlet issued from
the press in 1873. It is not legitimate for
any man to quote himself, but nevertheless
as the matter is precisely pertinent to the
object which I am seeking to realize, I would
reproduce much of it if I could. I need not
explain why I cannot.
These statistics are'friglrtful; Hartford,
where that sturdy old 'puritan, Hooker,
preached, with no less than 271 establish-
ments engaged in vending spirituous and
intoxicating liquors, and, what is worse,
New Haven, where the equally sturdy Dav-
enport preached, in the midst of which our
magnificent universal-y, Yale College, is sit-
uated,and where are to be found a great
number of other institutions dedicated to
the instruction of the young of both sexes
with 410 of such establishments, One would
suppose thatvthe fumes of so much alcohol
ascending‘, from so many groggcrics would
stifle these ténder plants of humanity or most
of them! As for Bridgeport she has no re-
mote liistory'to disgrace, but she can, and I
am sorry to be obliged to believe, has tarnish-
ed the pinions by which she has been rapidly
ascending to the position of a first-class city.
How could it be otherwise with 179 alcoholic
establishments? And then we have for the
whole state the ascertained number of 1,691
of such concerns. Rccollect this was at the
end of the first eight ,iiiontlis of the law in
operation, and recollect also that the many
hundred not [licensed who audaciously en-
tered into the business are not and cannot be
counted. Recollcct also that we are not
permitted to know how many of these pro-
moters of sickness, poverty, wretchcdness in
every form, and finally of death, are now
within our own limits. Very likely they run
up into thousands.
I am convinced that the evils that now
beset us have been greatly aggravated by
the moi-administration of the act of 1872
by boards of selcctmcn and county commis-
sioners, and that had that act been fairly
treated the volume of them would have been
much less than it is now. But I have an-
other perversion of that act quite as serious
as any hitherto attended to for which county
commissioners are alone responsible, which I
intended to present in this chapter, but my
sense of obligation to the editor constrains
me to reserve it for the next.

Stamford, Nov. 5.
APPENDIX.
Extracts from an address by Mr. T. S.
to the selectmeu of Stamford, published in
the Adcocate Oct. 30, 1874:
"‘ * "' But the selectmeu of any town
are placed by these acts (that is to say by
the license not of 1872 and the act amend-
ing the same of 1874) in a wildly different
situation from that of the county commis-
sioners. Neither act addresses to the former
any mandate whatever; neither says it shall
be their duty to recommend any one, nor
impose any penalty should they elect to fold
their hands and do nothing. So far as the
selectmeu are concerned, both acts say that
such license or licenses shall only be given
to such person _or persons as shall be recom-
mended by a majority of the selectmeu, etc.
These last words are brought in by way of
qualifying a duty which the county 0 )mmis.
sioners are directed to perform, but Kthe se
lectmen) are not ordered to do anything, and
I aflirm on my responsibility as a member of
the legal profession that any board of select-
men can refuse with impunity to recom-
mend any one no matter how many may
apply or what their qualifications may be.
Not ahair of there heads can be touched.
* . * * If this exposition is sound, you,
the selectmeu of Stamford, are placed in an
admirable category in relation to the subject.
As it is not made your duty by either not to
recommend any one, you are completely
master of the situation. This entire matter
is committed to the exercise of an enlighten-
ed discretion on your part. Should such
exercise lead you to recommend respectable
taverns, apothecarics and grocers, I for one
will not complain. With respect to out and
out grog shops, of which we have quite a
number ingour midst, where there is good
reason to believe the vilest of alcoholic liqu-
ors are dispensed to the destruction of body
and soul, not to the sober only but to the in-
ebriates, not to full grown men merely, but
to youth of tender years, accompanied with
caronsing and revelry extending far into the
night to the no small disturbance of the neigh-
borhood, the case is wildly different. You
know, and everybody knows, where those
vile establishments are to be found and who
the proprietors are. You cannot fail to re-
gard them with great disfavor, as all good
citizens do, and I will only say in conclusion,
that if they do not receive a treatment at your
hands, which is alike stern, just and appro-
priate, I for one shall be egregiously disap-
pointed.
A Submerged City in the Lake of
Geneva.
A strange discovery is reported from the
Lake of Geneva. A tourist having lost his
trunk, two divers were employed to search
for it. While they were below water they
found what they supposed to he a village.
since covered by the lake. Their statements
led to an investigation of the spot by the mu-
nicipal authorities, who took measures to as-
certain the truth of the extraordinary account
of the divers. On covering the placid sur.
face with oil, these latter were able to distin-
guish the plan of the town, streets, squares,
and detached houses making thc.bed of the
the lake. The ruddy hue which characteriz-
ed them led the cbservera to suppose that the
buildings had been covered with the famous
vermillion cement which was used by the“
Celts, Cimbri, and the Gauls. There are
about 200 houses arranged over an oblong
surface, near the middle of which is a space
more open, supposed to have been used for
public assemblages. At the eastern extremi-
ty lies a large square tower, which was taken
for a rock. A superficial investigation seems
to indicate that the construction of these
buildings dates from some centuries before
our era. The Council of Vaud has decided
to have the site of the dwellings inclosed by
a jetty stretching from the land, and to
drain off the water, so as to bring to light
what promises to be one of the most inter-
esting arcbreological discoveries of our day.

Liniments.
.——_.._.————
They relieve pain.
They subdue swellings.
They cure burns, without a scar.
The White Centaur Liriinicntis now the stand-
ard remedy for Rheumatism, Nciiralgia, Sciatica.
Lumbngo, Frost Bites, Cakcd Breasts, Itch, Cuta-
neous eruptions, etc. These Linimcnts have
stood the test of time. They have performed
more wonderful cur-es of obstinate bed-ridden
cripples, and have alleviated more pains in a
shorter space of time, than have all other Lini‘
mentfi.‘Embrocations, Extracts, Ointments, and
Solves in existence. Their sale is increasing rap-
Idly and regularly. Their best cndorscrs are phy-
sicians, surgeons and vctcrnarics. There is liter-
ally no case of flesh. bone. or muscle ailment upon
man or beast which the Centaur Liniments will
not alleviate and generally care. But it must be
understood that there are two kinds of Linimcnt;
the White is for family use and the Yellow for
horses and animals. For horses and nrules liable
‘0 Spavin, Ring-hone, Sweeney, Gulls, Strains,
String-halt, etc.,thc Yellow Centaur Lini-
ment is worth its weight in gold. We have
thousands of certificates relating how valuable
horses have been speedily restored by a dollar
bottle of this wonderful all-healing remedy. The
same is constantly told of the effects upon the
human frame. Persons hobbling upon crutches
for years from Stiff Joints, Tumors am‘. Old Sores,
have, by the use of a. few bottles of the White
Centaur Llnlmcnt, been restored to the use
of all their limbs. The effects are next to mar-
vels. We will give the Liniments to any person
who ever heard of a failure. Such a. case has
never been reported to us. These Linimcnts are
now sold throughout the habitable globe.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9th. 1877.
POLITICAL.
The election in New York was a surprise
to everybody. John Morrissey, who could
have carried his own district easily enough,
felt moved to beard Tammany in its den, and
deliberately went over into Boss Kelly’s own
district,and gave battle there. It was a very
curious fight. The Seventh district is the
most intensely respectable in the, city. It
mbraces Murray Hill, and holds within its
limits everything there‘is that is Wealthy and
aristocratic in the city. Tire democracy nom-
inatcd one of their most respectable men,
Augustus Schell, and spent money like wa-
ter. Tammany felt the necessity of beating
this bold man, for if he could defy its power
any one else could, and then where would
Tammany be? Morrissey was sick from the
beginning, and the few speeches that he made
were made at the risk of his life. The most
of the time he was in bed, but he had trusty
adherents, and his orders were faithfully car-
ried out. Well, the election is over, and John
Morrissey, the gambler and law-breaker, goes
back to the Senate of the state of New York
from the richest, most aristoratic and law—ob-
serving district in the City. It was a curious
sight to see such men as Hamilton Fish, Pe-
ter Cooper and Thurlow Weed, walk up to
the polls and cast their ballots for John Mor-
rrssey, and without any attempt at conceal-
ment. There is good reason for it. Every
New Yorker who pays taxes feels that there
is nothing to be that is so dangerous as Tam-
many, and that whatever strikes a blow at
Tammany is the thing to do. In this case
John Morrissey was the only way to cripple
Tammany, and so it was John Morrissey. I
will say for John, though, that as bad as he
is in other respects, he has never defrauded
the public as a legislator. In his official ca-
pacity he has been a square man. He feels
just as good over his splendid victory as Kel-
ly feels bad. The Boss don’t like it.
run LEGISLATURE
looks as though it was Republican, and that
aRepublican will succeed Mr. Conkling in
the Senate. This was the real prize of the
fight, and if we have saved that we have
done well enough. To smash the Tammany
slate in the city, and to save the legislature,
is good enough in New York.
THE SILVER BILL.
The passage of the Silver Bill, by such an
overwhelming majority in the House, occa-
sioned much surprise in the city. New York
is, without distinction of party, in favor of a
sound currency, and is opposed to inflation in
any form. The effect of the action of the
House upon silver, was not favorable to bus-
iness. It unsettled men’s minds and made a
feeling of uneasiness, which was disastrous.
Business men had got down to something
like certainty with reference to money, and
what a dollar was had been settled. If this
Silver Bill passes the Senate and the Presi-
dent signs it, the Old experience has got to
be gone over again. Prices will fluctuate,
the old speculative feeling will obtain, and
there will be wild times in the street. Wall
street does not believe it will pass the Senate,
which is all that can save a flurry. Secretary
Sherman is urging New York to enter a sol-
emn protest against it.

MILLIONS AT TABLE.
Probably the most money that ever sat
down to a table on this continent, squatted at
Delmonico’s, Thursday night, the occasion
beingadinner tendered Mr.Junius S. Mor-
gan, of London, the partner of the late Mr.
Peabody. There were, perhaps, an hundred
present, and of the number there weren't a
dozen who could not count their wealth by
the half-dozen million. Mr. Morgan is in
America for the first time for twenty-six
years. He isa better man of business than
ough, by adding thereto or erasing therefrom the

A DEAD BANKER.
The death of James Brown, senior of the
great banking house of Brown Brothers, of
this city, makes a gap in the ranks of the
solid men. Mr. Brown has been in active
business in this city for over fifty years, and
has left behind him a fortune of many mil
lions. By will he gives away to charitable
and educational purposes something over
$200,000. Mr. Brown was one of the most
methodical men in the world. Summer and
winter he was at his office in his regular
chair at precisely the same hour, and woe be
the clerk who was any less regular. In all
the fifty years he never failed to put in an
appearance at 9 o’clock, except on one or two
occasions, when ill-health prevented him.
He was a good, kind man, who could not
only make money, but use it. He gave away
a certain per cent. of his profits every year,
being as :‘Iicthodical in his charity as he was
in his business.
THE SPORTING MEN
got a little backsct the other day. The big
match of the season was between Ten Brocck
and Parole, and was to have taken place last
Saturday. Hundreds of thousands of dol-
lars were wagered on the event, and had it
come off it would have been the big thing of
the season. But just at the very last mo-
ment, Harper, the owner of Ten Broeck,
comes to the conclusion that his horse isn't
well enough to run, and so withdraws and
pays forfeit. This is all well enough for him,
but it doesn’t work very well for those who
backed his horse. Under the new rules that
govern betting, it is “pay or play,” and con-
sequently every dollar bet upon Ten Brocck
is lost. Those who sent money in from the
country to bet upon the Harper horse are
very indignant, and are denouncing the an-
cient Kentuckianwith much vehcmcnce.

where any man may operate. They take a
sum as will make a margin for a. single share,
and do business fora commission, just the
same as the big ones do in the big exchange.
Men and boys alike patronize the new ex-
change, and it is doing a rushing business.
You can take $5, and, if you have any luck
at all, can gamble all day with it, and make
some money. Many a man who five years
ago was handling millions in the regular ex-
change, is now fighting for bread and butter
in this small way.
nusrxnss AND THE WEATHER.
There never was known so many varieties
of weather on the Island as we have had this
year. It has ruined torrents, blown hurri-
canes and frozen solid, and now it is good,
decent mid-summer weather. Business is
first-rate. The passage of the Silver Bill is a
disturbing element, and has done something
toward unsettling values, but no one believe
it will pass the Senate, and so it hasn’t done
much damage. The city is full of merchants,
and an immense amount of goods is being
sold. Business men are feeling better.
