The Revenue.

The Halifax Herald makes the following statenrent :—

“'Phe Revenue for the first three months of 1879, as compared with the same months of 1878, show as follows :—

1879. 1878. January, $1,336, 162 $1,168, 471 February, 3,547,929 1,605,244 March, 1,374,428 1,280,565

$5,258,519

“ Here isa gain in three months, just before the change of tariff, of no less than $2,205,239. But the Telegraph and those journals that copy from it, de not take this fact into account at all! They give the re- turns only since April, and claim that there is going to be a large deficit. The figures, as published by the Telegraph are as fol- lows :—

1879. 1878. April, $1,910,824 $1,523,273 Niay, 1,594,325 2,001,902 June, 1,256,482 1,651,183 July, 1,151,130 1,292,070 August, 1,979,088 2,059 935 September, 1,913, 067 1,925,789

2,035,680 2,041,124

{ Jetober,

November, 1,894, 446 1,930,231 $12,736,045 $14,335,558

‘¢ Even supposing these figures to be cor- they only show a falling off—mostly in the three mouths immediately after the change of Tariff--of $1,599,573 or $695,- 726 less than what was gained in January, february and March in anticipation of the ‘Tariff. In other words, according to the Telegraph's own showing, we have collected thus far in 1879, ovmn slX HUNDRED THOUS- AND DOLLARS MORE REVENUE than in the same period last year !

The Liquor Traffic at Crapaud.

AN INGENIOUS CONTRIVANCE.

A correspondent of the Argus, over the signature of ‘‘One Who Knows,” says :—

“ About two years ago, the only licensed tavern keeper in the village, (whom for con- venience I will call Mr. “A. (was deprived of his license. Since that time he has made three attempts to regain his former privilege in euch of which the temperance party ac- quitted themselves like men, and by. their united energy baffled his design. But Mr. A. was not to de foiled in this manner. His old customers must be supplied, and—which was by far the stronger motive—he could not afford to forgo such a remuuerative trade as rumelling, simply to please the ‘public. Therefore he continued to deal out his poisonous trash secretly, to these of his old customers whom he could safely trust, although a strrnger or a doubtful customer would be informed that the house was strictly temperats. This fall, however, as trade in general increased, Mr. A’s. busi- ness was no exception to the rule, and it became necessary to increase his facili- ties, in order to keep pace with the rapid development of his trade. He, therefore, coustructed in his house, three turntables, which work, as near as I can understand, on the following principle :—The tables, which are half in one room and half in an- other, turn on a pivot in the wall. On each are jpiaced glasses, labelled ‘‘ Gin,” “Rum,” &c. In these the customer drops his cash, which is immediately carried into the next room by a semi-revolution of the table, and the next minute a further revo- lution lays before him the required ‘juice. In this way the person who deals out the liquor is concealed from view, and conse- quently cannot be identified, and Mr. A. is enabled to throw his doors boldly epen to the public and laugh ait thelaw. Now, Mir. Editor, is there no way by which we can cheek such a huge swindle? Must we be content to gaze with open meuth at this daring defiance of the laws of our country, and say feebly : “It is not our fault ?” You would confer a great favor on your readers and the temperance cause, of which you have been an able advocate, by ex- plaining what provision, if any, has been made for dealing with such a case.

But the correspondent continues :— ~

‘‘Mr. A. is by no means the only dealer in this lawless traffic. Out of about fifty houses that comprise the village, there are nine, and some say eleven, which are known as ‘frum shanties.” I will here note only afew of these, as it would en- croach oo much on your columns to give a detailed account of each.

‘“‘Mr. B., an old veteran in the business, is now selling oyster stews at two prices. The man who pays the higher price is kind- ly treated to whatever suits his taste by the gentlemanly landlord. But Mr. \B. does not sell liquor, not he !

‘‘Mr. C. again, has been fined two er three times for selling, spent most of the summer in jail paying a fine, and yet shortly after his release, expended a con- siderable amount of money in repairs to his house !

“Mr. D., engaged in this traffic, is to a great extent maintained by a friend in high standing in the community, who would at

once withdraw his protecting hand where

, L879.

he acquainted with the doings of his pro- tege. (This note is especially for the in- formation of that friend.)

The correspondent asks :—

‘Ts this state of things to be allowed to continue? Parents think ef your sons. Wives, think of your husbands. Pastors, think of your flocks, and if you have any regard for their future prospects, rally once more areund the old temperance flag, and having once drawn the sword do not sheathe it again till those poisonous hell holes are wiped out of existence, and we can once more breathe the pure air of heaven.

<del geil tell Leadville.

-———

NO, 22,

In the last of his interesting letters from Colorado, Mr. Fletcher, of the Argus, says :—

‘<A large number of fortunes have been made around Leadville during the past year, and a still larger number of persons have achieved a competency. Leadville, therefore, offers the best field for the em- ployment of capital in America. There is ne other locality where nature has so wide- ly distributed her wealth and, at the same time, placed it within the reach of any per- son who is either willing to buy or work for it. What man has Gone man may do, so that if one man makes a fortune in Lead- ville, it is quite possible for another to do the same thing.”

Mr. Forster is one of the ablest and most influentialb members of the Liberal Party in England. In a recent address he devoted much time to the discussion of the relations subsisting botween the Empire and the Col- onies, and adapted the broad ‘‘ Imperial idea.” He favored emigration to the Col- onies, but thought information was a better means to promote that end than pecuniary assistance. ‘He thought the question of English investments in Colonial enterprises properly belonged to capitalists themselves to consider; ‘‘ but,” he added:—‘‘ I am not at all sure, however, that it would not be advisable that the Home Government should sometimes be very liberal in matters of assistance and generosities, such as that which Sir John Macdonald has recently asked for Canada.” This coming from a ‘eading member of the Opposition is signi- ficant, and shows that Sir John succeeded in interesting both Conservatives and Lib- erals in the importance of the Canadian Pacific Railway.

NotuinG makes a man so in love with pur- ity as purity. Many aman has- been lifted out of ae sins against which he has vainly struggled by coming to know and love & pure sweet woman. bodied goodness that makes us want to be good. Many a mother, by the quiet useful- ness of her life, fills her children witha de- sire to be like her that makes them in their turn unselfish. There are obscure men and women, who hardly in their lives utter a word of conscious teaching who, by their example, do more to make people around them geutle, and truthful,and Christ-like than any preacher ean do. ness, but those who are good, that are the light of the world.

Tre present Karl of Derby is credited with the following opinion of his "father; ‘‘ His judgment on any matter would be excellent if he were well informed, but then he never is well informed.” Lord Stanley observed on another occasion of his father: ‘*He knows nothing accurately except Homer ; and even there Gladstone beats him.”
