W. AI. Ii1EUJ . Batter and Proprietor. What is Morally Wrong Should not be Legally Right, 1fn. lenren,—I had the pleasure the other day of meeting Deacon Jones. You have probably seen the gentleman, Ar at least hoard of him. The deacon is one of the great temperance lights of t110 present day, and (s evidently something of an orator, bat 11e has a habit of squint. ing, which gives him an awkward lop. pearance. He wits talking with some gentlemen on the subject of temperance, and said among other things that thous• ands of young men were drifting away aeon the tide of intemperance, and some. thing must be done or we would soon be- come a nation of drunkards, I enquired of the demon what lie would de to bring abont this reform. He commenced squinting, and said he would call the liquor traffic by its right name, end pro- hibit the whole thin. I reminded the deacon that all great reforms were brought about by moral sna02011, and I could not see why it could lose its force in the temperance movement. The deacon said that moral suasion Mid great force in the temperance move- ment, particularly on the bronchial ar- rangement, but that it required too much wind to make it a success. I felt the mercury rising, and replied with some spirit that a prohibitory law was arbi- trary, and that I for one %vonld not obey a law that infringed upon my liberty. The deacon here repeated the word lib, erty. "Liberty to get drunk, Isuppose ?" I told the deacon I claimed to be a gentle- man and wished to be treated as snub. The deacon apologized in part, but said. that all law was arbitrary, and then quoted Blackstone on civil law command- ing what is right and prohibiting what ie wrong. I informed the deacon that the liquor traffic was legally right and ehould be obeyed. Here the deacon commenced squinting at a terrible rate, and said that slavery wee legally tight but morally wrong, and that a thin that was morally wrong should not be made legally right. He then spoke of the license law being legal• ly right and morally wrong, and it wits a question with bine whioh was the greater criminal, the saloonkeeper or the party that gave him license, and that if we can give a license for selling whiskey, we Dan license other 00(mee. The whole thing is wrong and unworthy of the present ego. I replied that a prohibitory law MB nn infringement upon the choice to obey the law or not to obey it. The deacon re. plied that the -rum -suckers were very par - Bottler in the right of choice when they wanted to go on a drunk, and that the law was not an infringement upon the rights of the drunkard, because it 1'estor• ed him to his family where Its world be more likely to reform. The deaeou vans egninting as usual, and mid that be wish• ed all the teener in Christendom was am nibilsted. It bad no value as a beverage and if it was not for the drinking class mould not be old. I reflected for e. ram ment and then told the deacon Hite could have I,(a way in managing the liquor traffic, it would bring about a bad state of things. Thousands engaged in a legi- timate bneineee would less everything. I then told him In look at the millions of dollars invested in the liquor traftlo. EN said he could not see a cent, but oauld see in the distanoe that fires were being kindled, and woe to him that puttsth the cup to hie neighbor's lip0. The deacon then tarried to mo with a look of companion and said : "Friend, don't you know you are all wrong on ties subject 1" Yone ideas on the liquor traffic mimed me of Pout preaching at Ilphestis against idolatry. There were none that opposed hien more vehemently then a certain man by the name of Demo- trius, who made silver shrines for the goddess Diana, Ile did not want St. Paul to convert these heathen, because it wonid interfere with his business and bo would likely lose by it. This poor heathen wee pandering to vias 111,e thous- ands of others eugug0d in the liquor traffic that cannot reform if likely to loee by it. Look at the thousands 0E tal0ono aid the great number of drunkards who oontri• bate to their support, instead of support. ing their families. Think of the thous• mala of mothers who are struggling to keep their little children together, whose tears 1f ilatherecl 11p would make an angel weep. Whiskey hue caused ninny tears, and like a serpent is drawing its cells around our National life. I£ tine MAW of thiege (e to continue, how are the cern- ing gaerations 10110 saved ? Theo forcible remarks get mo to think. ing, and to be helmet I could not help thinking haw fitting it would he for the liquor traffic end elave•y to sleep h1 ono grave. Tho deacon in his closing re. marks said if there was any one that needed eympathy it was the common deenkeed. Itis nthrveu0 syetem was prostrated, and when sober ho felt wretch• ecl and out of sorts, He wanted some- thing to tone up, and yielded to the pressing demands of a per00000d appetite. Alter two or three drinks he is quieted, and under the soothing influence of stimulants drops into a gn(01 Bleep and le dreaming, perhaps, of some fair land piotnred in the land of dreams, Ile sleeps on fur a time, but his craving ap- petite demands more whisky, and QB he approaches the danger line bo le surpris- ed that whisky has lost its (harms to re. loose Mtn. He is now in a oribioal eon• anion and dies drinking mills to drive away the snakes. This is but an0 0080 out of thousands at others that are drifthlg upon the treaoberoue tide of intemperance, and they oat not be rescued by a law that is legally right and morally wrong, Now, what shall we do with the nommen drunkard? Shall we continue to fine him for getting drunk on legal whisky, taking from him the money that hie family needs ? Oe shall we, like the good Samaritan, pink him up and provide for him by adopting some plan that will change his surroundings 2 If the liquor braille was regulated by law that is legal. ly right and morally rhghb, it would send the license laws end saloons "a -kiting," and prove not only one of the greatest blessings to the drinitiug class, bob to society generally. The deacon, nater closing his remarks and getting ready to start, told ale to be sere and study Blackstone on civil law, We parted the best of frlen18. IIe shook my hand very cordially, and after giving me some good advice, commenced humming n temperance ballad, nod went on his way rejoicing. D. 011A1,vcl:17. The King of Greece. Deoideely the man of the hour is George I., Icing of Greece. IIie deter- mined nation in regard to Crete has stirred up every one of the groat powers, and affected more or less seriously every European bourse, He and his country are the subjects of the leading articles in every morning paper in the principal capitals, and "What are the going to do about it ?" is the question heard every- where, Of the many cartoons which have already been publi,lhod suggesting the situation, the best is perhaps one which depicts the king 0e a vigorous baby, seated upon the floor and amusing him- self with n lighted bombshell. The ex• tent to which that bombshell is likely to burst will reach you in your cable de- spatches long before any suppositions on my part, and so I ani goinfi to gossip about the king, and the icing only. Per- haps by the time you read this the bomb niay have beret with such dire effecte that be will 110 longer be king. As kings go, Bing George must be olassed as a second-class monarob ; but in the way of relations he le a very first• oleo sovereign indeed. The Bing of Denmark is his father. The Prince of Wales is his brother•in-law. The Czar is his nephew and his danglhler•in-law is the sister of the German Emperor. Ho is only fifty years of age, looks at least ten years younger, and is noted for his many accomplishments. Ile can shoot with unerring dexterity. He rides with the shill of a steeple -chaser. As a swim- mer be is credited with having perform- ed the feat otherwise attributed to three men only—Leander, Lord Byron and Dr. Edward Bedloe. Ile can box, he on fence ; in fact, he can be justly called an s11•round athlete, and an all-round sports- man. 13ut in every other way, almost, he has earned the richt to be regarded as a royal Crichton, He has a complete knowlenge of seven or eight langnages, not only reading or writing them perfect- ly, but possessing a familiar acquaint- ance with the literature of each tougne. He is noted for (1(0 puwere of cliecuseion, and the justice of his opinions has ceased him to bo willingly accepted es arbitrator (n most of the family quarrels of the royel Ramifies with which he has blood 0001100E10n, By birth be might almost be regarded as obscure. When he first saw the light in 1840 his father—now Ring of Den- merk—was known as Duke Frederick of Sohleswig•Holstein. The duke had ap• parently no'thence of snooeeding to either estates or thrones, and the income he re- ceived by inheritance and by hie marriage with the Prinee's of Hesse 008.0 so small that he eked out the family bills by eh, lug lessons in drawing. One can imagine the dulto s insignitioanee by his being permitted to earn money to 0o petty a mauler. however, before little Prince George, or Prince Willinln, as 110 was then called, had grown big enough for long trousers, a great change had taken place in the circumstances of hie (amity, as the impoverished Duke Christian had been elected, with the approval of the powers, Crown Prince of Denmark and successor to the then reigning king of that country—Frederiok'1'II.

Alt the more strange when it is considered what a great advantage this same trot gave them over the Liberties in days one by and now that it hoe passed into poeseeeio1 of the Liberal majority, why they should wish their Opponent0 to have sad nee this potent nlaohitlory which would afford Liberals the same partisan ad. vantages is a matter to be wondered 10t, There is an overwhelming Conservative l0meut in the members constituting the Senate, '1 ho lions are 0C Couserva. tines to 10 1.i , runs, It le the nine of tete Government to establish a franchise that 0 fair mutt jest to all, told one would laterally suppose that the party to be Nee most interested in the passing of ooh a law ought only la be the party that hate lost oontrol of the elootion mach(u0ry \vision) so long furthered their (hemoe for retention of power.

It is understood that the plebiscite bill will soon be introduced by the Hon. Mr. I?Esher into the Ilouee, Three are al. ready certain vague rumors floatiee about as to the provision contained in the measure. It is certain, however, that eparo from enacting the ueoes8ery maohinery for testing the sentiments of Cttunde on the advisability of adopting a prohibitory liquor law, it will be complete in ell its parte ami will give, if carried at the polls, the means; to attain the desired end of the abolition of the liquor traffic. Looking to the future in the passibility of prohibition becoming an acoonplished fact, some provision must bo embodied in the bill to make up the direct loss to the Dominion exchequer of about $8,000,000 of 00venue received yearly from liquor. It is no swall'problo(n to be solved. In- direct taxation has been pnebed to its last limit and sone other means must be looked to for supplying the deficit that would arise by the adoption of a prohib(. tory Minor law. The poor man's nec00• aeries of life will not stiffer any greater emotions, and the rich man's luxuries al- ready burdened to an extent that ening. gliug is apparently an the increase. The Mau of direct taxation, it is hinted, may have to be resorted to in the event of prohibition being an estsbliehed fact, and in that case the direct tax would not fall far short of (11.00 per capita, or about $7.50 per family annually, taking the average at five per0ous to a family. Ab present much of the current comment 0u the question is mere side speculation. Eventually the stern facts have got to be faced and thoroughly tbresbed out. It is to be hoped that, although the element of fanaticism will pervade the temper- ance ranks to a certain extent, the more level-headed Conservative temperance advocates will not permit, in the heat of battle, sentiment to ont•weigh good judg- ment in dealing with this polition-moral and tinen0ial problem. A. V. W. 01.0201x(1 RINGS. Wonderful events occurred rapidly in this moat fortunate of royal fannies. Duke Christian did not succeed to the throne of Denmark until November, 1800, but on llaroh 10th of that year he had the extraordinary gratification of seeing his eldest dein:Mar married reale heir of the Empire of Great Britain, and three months Inter, in June of the same year, hie second 0011, Prince William, was in- vited to sucaoad the 4011,0 1 monarch Otho, as King of Greene. The throne of the elassicnl Land had p10010001y boon offered to the English prince, who is now Dake of Saxe•CobI1l'g-Gotha ; bob Queen Victoria would not hear of her son's ac- ceptance. The choosing of the young Danish prince did not at Hest meet with the appruval Of the great powers, but the old Icing, Frederick VOL, insisted that "the lad had it in him to be a king." He took the young man with him to the ' clamber in which the regal chair of Denmark was standing on 10 dui6, and, pointing to it, staid : rely buy, it is a comfortable enough Bent as long as you loan well Laois against the enslhiohs ; enbratne me now as my equal and the Dem of nil Europeen sovereigns.

I doubt, in fact, if ever there wee a man more popular with all ranks of society in Englnd than Xing George of Greene, and that fact largely accounts for the complete indorsement his conduct, no regards Crete, is at present receiving from the British people, even if it is frowned at for State mous by the British Government. I believe the upshot of the present tronblo will be the addition of Crete to the Greek kingdom, but it will not come as a emprise if Xing George abdicates (u favor of his 000, rho Doke of Sparta. It is no seorst that his 1Iajesty is tired of his kingship and wonid litre to devote the remainder of his life to private permits.

The Opposition press aro hard pressed to make adverts political ettpitnl lent of the ahewiug whioh the 0001111,1ns of the e06ui0g year reveal. Those handed down to Parliament loot week were the first of the new Administration. Last year the estimates of the outgoing Government, 11e prepared by them for that year, were aocopted by the Liberal Government as a matter of necessity since, at the late date of their a0eeasien to office, they were for that reason precluded from investigating and revising them. Bub es time went on the money voted under the estimates was not expended by them where the Govern- ment saw it was not actually required, and, as a result, a considerable salving in expenditure was effected. The estimates just submitted to the House are acknowledged by the more freedniuded of Tories as appearing very favorable when scrutinized, They admit that it is everywhere apparent that the most rigid economy bus been in kin them u �. The, practiced ma 1 1 � l frequent oomplaine has been raised by the Tory prose that saperannuatione and diomlasale were a subterfuge, made simply to afford vacancies in the Civil service, of both inside and outside branohes, for Government supporters. If that accusation bore on its floe the essential element, then It would be dif- ficult for Liberals to deny the oft•t•epeat. ed etatemeub that the spoils system was being hltrodnood into ()median affairs Government. But it so by present erase1,t G trans w ices and all the faints wicket are I brought out and these which remain 00 be produced plainly testify, that the of - boo vacated have been ren0ored vacant in the inberoots of economy—the funds• mental principle of Liberal politica. There have been 42 suporannuatiolo and 10 retiring gratuities made already with more to follow. The finance Minister informed the House that this comae had effected 0, large saving to the country. And why ? Become in a few isolated eaee0 vaOanoles made by oft0Itole, who were Onperteneuated on eaaocn0 of age or infirmity, bad been filled, nevertheless the great majority of the offices 00 vacated were abolished. In the doter. mina0ion to Paon0ml00 without prejudic- ing the efficiency of the service the Gov aliment have had to turn a deaf ear to the clamours of their friends Inc office, and resolutely shun the sednotivo and well beaten path trod by their 'To'y predecessors when eallatyiug the dementia of their faliowere. The country ought then to be seized with a feeling of Don't. fot•table 0580ra1100 of the honest inten• Hong of the new Government as indloated by the estimatee just brought down to Parliament, As the matter now stands tete estimated coat of running the Gov. ernment of the country for the next year is 17J millions less than what the lata Government required to do the wont for the fiscal year now drawing to a close.
