The Entertainment at the Lyceum To-night

we are to hear the Dramatic Reciter, Mrs. T. Charles Watson, and Char- lottetown is on the tip-toe of expectation. It will probably be one of the most fashionable gatherings of the year, for Mrs. Watson has been socially introduced to our elite, and a most refined audience will greet her on her first ippearance. Mrs. Watson will, we are glad to hear, recite and dance the ‘‘ Money Musk.” In this little sketch she is said to be inimit- The New York Hera/d says :—‘‘She is graceful woman, refined and beautful in feature, with a lovely tigure. She danced away all hearts in the ‘Money Musk.” She will also recite two scenes from Macbeth, in the Shakespearian dresses. We add the opin- ion of the Belleville Intelligencer on this selec tion: “The programme presented last night, comprised selections, showing Mrs. Watson’s rare powers in the delineation of the humor ous, pathetic and tragic, and the delight of the audience was shown by enthusiastic ap- plause. The sparkling vivacity of ‘Money Musk,’ the profound pathos of ‘My Little Girl,’ delightful as they were, hardly prepared the audience for the surprise which her excel- lent exposition of the character of Lady Mac- beth in the letter and sleep-walking scenes produced, In the first the listener could almost see the cowering husband shrink before the magnificent scorn expressed in the pas- sage ending with ‘Like the poor cat i’ the adage,’ while the sleep walking scene was a thrilling impersonation of the somnambulistic Lady Macbeth. The agony of remorse that harrowed the heart and haunted the sleep of the murderess were portrayed in a manner whose weird realism transported the audience ‘beyond the ignorant present’ to the scene itself. It was wonderfully well done.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

The Gothenburg System.

Sirn,—-In_ view of the near approach of a Seott Act election for the city, and the fore gone conclusion. almost unanimously held, that the Act is doomed, the question is forced upon our consideration, what system of con+ trolling the sale of spirituous liquor should be adopted ?

| have taken some pains to learn the cetails of the *‘ Gothenburg System,” which may not be uninteresting to your readers,

The system began in Gothenburg but is now in use throughout the whole of Sweden; and though tothe outside world known as the “‘Gothenburg System,” the name is practically unknown in the country itself.

A certain number of shareholders form a joint stock company and subscribe the requi- site capital. At present in Goteborg, the rate of interest’is fixed at 6 per cent., and is paid annually on these shares, and can neither be increased nor lessened (so long as the funds permit). The company obtains the necessary faculty from the crown for its proceedings, and sets about the task of buying the right to sell spirits from all the present holders of licenses, for it is with spirits only that this system deals,

This step is the most difficult part of the whole matter; the rest is simple. Having obtained their monopoly for the district for which they hold authority, and being a com- pany, probably unique in this respect that they are anaious not to make profits, they aim at controlling and rectifying the consumption of spirituous liquors, instead of stopping it— which they may not do.

First, they close all the unprofitable public houses, such as cellars, etc., and proceed gra- dually to utilize larger and more airy and respectable buildings, where the surroundings are healthier—as their profits increase they erect buildings themselves.

When the company is in full working order there are three classes of depots :

F Places for the sale of spirits which may not be consumed upon the premises. Of these there is one in each large district of the town

perhaps tive or six in all.

The manager is paid a certain fixed sum and makes not one cent by his sales. Out of

his allowance he has to pay for all assistance he may need, for all loss by leakage or evapor- ition, and soon. In such places and in the case of the few wine merchants (who all hoid licenses from the company,) not less than two illons way he sold

)

2. Dram shops (Herve the spirit may be As before, no one is interested in the sale of the liquors. With each glass is served a smalltray with a few pieces of broken “hard bread,” to be eaten with the spirit. Here a man may have as many drams as he wishes, but the manager knows that if he serves to a man who has had too much, he will lose his place, and,as he has no interest in the world in the sale,he is quick to refuse.

3. Restaurants. With almost, indeed, I think all the last, is asseciated a resturant. The manager receives the whole of the profits of any food he sells, so that the energies of the establishment are directed to this side of the account. The Company regulates the maximum charges for the different classes of food and the discretion of the manager fixes the minimum. The rates vary according to the position and class of the establishments, from a mere ‘‘laborer’s public” to a first-class restaurant where all the delicacies of the sea- son may be procured. A correspondent in- forms me that at one near the harbor, a large plate of capitally, cooked fish and six or eight large potatoes can be had for six cents. In this same place is a better room where a superior kind of dinner can be had—two courses—for 20 cents of our currency. This price included as much of a very light brown thin beer called *‘driek” as the guest cared to take and also bread and butter. Adjoining is another room usedas a cafe, where beer, cotfee,. ete., is sold,

4. Extra licenses. The company has power to sell spirits, consequently wine merchants, hotels, gardens, restaurants, &c., are all under their direct supervision, and any misconduct risks the withdrawal of the license.

It is to be noticed in all this that all powers of the company are confined strictly to spirits, and donot, in the least degree, reach wine, beer, &c., which are sold as household commo- dities very freely and in every sort ef unsuit- able place, and that their efforts are all direct- ed toward lessening their sale.

It remains but to say a word on two sub- jects.

1. District. The Goteborg Company hold control of a very large district of country, and, within its limits, no spirits at all can be pro- cured for a distance of something like fifteen or twenty miles from Gothenburg, while in the other direction a fisherman might sail for twenty miles before he could find a dram shop amony the islands.

2. Results. The company profits conferred an immense boon upon the population. Originally they voted sums of money out of its profits for such purposes as they saw fit, but now their profits are thus regulated: (a.) 6 per cent to the shareholders; (b.) a certain percentage to the revenue of the country; (c.) the balance to aid the town rates and the country district rates in certain proportions; so that, by this method, the drink consumers pay directly for the police, the asylums, poorhouses and prisons, which they to a large extent furnish the inmates for.

Moral results. Proceeding on the sound basis of a gradual reform they have but these results to show. However, even in the last ten or twelve years, a reduction of about fifty per cent in the consumption per head of the population has been realized, I believe. Peo- ple of experience say that the result in the diminution of the drunkenness of the popula- tion is very evident and striking.

Further, I may say that the company sup- ports many free reading rooms, where papers and magazines are supplied, and where tea, coffee and light refreshments can be had at a small charge; and it still aims, when popular opinion is riper, to gain control of the wine and beer selling trade also.

Yours truly, ANGLICANUS,

Sabbath Day Observance.

Sitr,—I would like to ask, through the columns of your journal, whose duty it is to see that the laws against trading on the Sab- bath day are enforced. I wish particularly to refer to the traffic which takes place at our drug stores on the Sabbath day in cigars and tobacco. Is it lawful ? and if not, whose duty is it to stop it ?

Ali day Sunday when the drug stores are open, and especially on Sabbath evening after church is out, the business of selling tobacco and cigars is carried on, and I think that it is time the matter was looked into.

I know you are always willing to do what you can in the way of reform, and hope you will give this aplace in your paper, and if you see fit would like to see some remarks upon it. J.
