A Few Things We Would Like to Know.
1. We would like to know what reasons, if any, there are for the maintenance of 220
saloons in Charlottetown ?
2. We would like to know what benefits, if any, have ever come to the people of this town by means of the saloon ?
3. We would like to know how much, if anything, the saloons have contributed to the welfare of its people?
4. We would like to to know how many men there are in this town to-day, who, but for the saloons, might have had happy and comfortable homes of their own, and
possibly something laid up fora rainy day ?
5. We would like to know how many wives and mothers, if any, there are in this town to-day who rejoice because of the
| presence of the grog shops, who ave willing
that their husbands and sons patronize such places ?
6. We would like to know how many persons, if any, there are in this town to- day who would be proud to have it said, ** We have over 200 saloons in our town?”
7. We would like to know how much longer our respectable citizens and tax- payers are going to endure the presence of a business that is a detriment to all other kinds of business, that entails a burden of crime and pauperism upon the people, that robs the families of working men of that which justly belongs to them, and that constantly endangers the peace and good order of the community ?
8. We would like to know how many men there are inCharlottetown who profess to believe in temperance and good morals, but will cast their votes the next time they have an opportunity on the side where they will count for the saloons ? °
9. We would like to kuow why some good men who vote for the saloons, sign saloon licences and saloon bonds, do not go into the saloon business themselves, open their homes to saloon keepers, and urge their sons, if they have any, to follow the trade /
10. We would like to know what the saloon keepers have ever done for this town that they should be more highly privileged than any other class of men ; privileged to viglate the Sunday laws and many other laws ; privileged to send drunken and crazy men into the streets to threaten and terrorize peaceable and unprotected people; privileged to keep haunts for criminals, vagrants and loafers ; privileged to rob men of their wages and send them home to beat and starve their innocent and helpless wives and children?

Voting would increase the intelligence of women, and be a powerful stimulus to female education. It would enable women to protect their own industrial, social, moral and educational rights. Woian’s vote would be to the vices of our great cities what the lightning isto the oak. I believe that this roformation is coming, and that it will come to stay.—Joseph Cook.
Alcohol in Medicine.—-Facts are con- stautly accumulating to show that a great mistake is made by those physicians who dose their patients with alcoholic stimulants. It is an error of bygone days. Some of the best known physicians of to-day, like Sir William Gull, Drs. Andrew Clarke, Ben- jamin Ward Richardson, and Norman Kerr, do not use alcoholics at all, or else in rare cases. Dr. A. G. Bartley, of London, in a paper read before a recent meeting of the Atsculapian Medical Society, states that he one day stood in the middle of the largest ward in a London Hospital, and from that position undertook to point out to the resident physician—who, by the way, believed in and administered stimu- lents to the patients—every patient who had been taking stimulants for at least three or tour days. He succeeded in doing so, for the pale, worn aspect of the patient was unmistakable.

Odds and Ends.
A rough count of the census shows New York’s population to be 1,513,501.
The population of Chicago is now placed at 1,101;263, which puts that city ahead of Philadelphia.

Sermons in Candles.
THE EXPERIMENT MADE BY MR, SPURGEON SOME TIME AGO.
Mr. Spurgeon had occasion, some time ago, to speak to a company of theological students on the importance of using illus- trations in their preaching. A student ob- served that they found difficulty in ge:ting illustrations, whereupon Mr. Spurgeon re- marked, in his bluff way, that illustrations enough might be found in a tallow candle. This was regarded as an extravagance of speech, whereupon the great preacher pre- pered a lecture to show what might be illus- trated by candles. In delivering his lecture he used candles of various sizes and colors, together with lanterns and other suitable apparatus. Some of his points were char- acteristically witty and keen. A _ nicely japanned but shut-up box, filled with fine unused candles, illustrated an idle and spiritless church. Several colossal and highly-colored but unlit candles were shown, and with them a tiny rushlight shining as best it could. The big, handsome, unlit candles might be archbishops or doctors of divinity, or persons of culture without piety, and the bright rushlight might be some poor boy ia a workshop whose life is beauti- ful. Mr. Spurgeon showed an unlighted candle in a splendid silver candlestick, and then a brightly-burning one stuck in a gin- ger beer bottle’ He showed what few people might do by combining their good efforts, by exhibiting the combined light of twelve candles. The folly of trying to light a candle with the extinguisher sti!] on was suown, and the dark lantern illustrated the case of the pec»le who made no effort to let their light shine before men. The lecturer then placed a candle under a bushel and afterwards placed the bushel measure under the candle—the point of which was obvious. In snufting a candle he extinguished it, and remarked that Christians often did a like mischief by un- wise rebukes and criticisms. The folly of burning the candle at both ends was illus- trated.
The last illustration was a number of lighted candles of various hues, placed together on one stand, representing the church’s true diversity in unity, all the different branches burning from one stem and for one purpose. Some one in the audience asked if the ‘‘dips” did not give the best light, whereupon Mr. Spurgeon said he was not sure of that, and thought many of the ‘‘dips” would be the better for another dipping.
The lecture was received with great amuscment, and showed Mr, Spurgeon at his best, but it still remains true that only the man of genius can find illustrations in common things—-sermons in stones or in candles. The preachers are few who can work the mines of natural analogies.
Literary Notes.
The August;Century—It is because **The
'Anglomaniacs presents a novel aspect of
New York life with uncommon pith and wit that the third part, in the August num- ber of the Century, will be probably that portion of the magazine to which most readers will first turn, They will find a crisis approaching in the devotion to Miss Lily Floyd-Curtis of Lord Melrose, and look rather keenly for a solution in the con- cluding instalment in Septembers. Injthe new chapter of Miss Barr’s striking novel ** Friend Olivia,” the heroine sets sail for America with her father, who goes in search of religious freedom and converts. The short story of the number, ‘* The Emancipation of Joseph Peloubet,” by John Elliott Curran, introduces a French- man who turns his back in disgust on the Second Empire, starts a newspaper in New York which advocates emancipation of the slaves and collapses, and who then returns to his trade of baking until the breaking out of the war, when he enlists, and his ideals are realized and his life is sacrificed.
Few readers will reach the end of the second paper by Dr. T. H. Mann on his experience as ‘‘A Yankee in Anderson- ville” without being profoundly touched by the pathos of his helpless journey to his home in Boston. The realistic pictures, made from photographs, add to the interest of the narrative of life in the prison-pens at Andersonville and Florence. Another ar- ticle bearing briefly on the history of the war, is Miss S. E. Blackwell’s statement in “Open Letters” of “The Case of Miss Carroll,” whose claims for services to the Union are still unconsidered by Congress.
President Eliot of Harvard contributes “The Forgotten Millions,” a study of the common American mode of life, as typified by the permanent native population of Mt. Desert. In ‘*Topics of the Times” there is a discussion of the ‘*Distaste for Solitude,” of ‘*The New School for Explorers,” as ex- emplified by Stanley; and a brief comment on Mistral and his poetic country of Pro- vence. In “Open Letters” the Rev. Al- fred J. P. McOlure describes the work of the ‘Siberian Exile Petition Movement of Philadelphia,” and Abbot Kinney replies to Major Powell’s article in the April Century on the arid regions of the West.
There are other articles and miscellany which will interest the reader,
