THE GOTHENBURG SYSTEM TO BE TRIED
IN ENGLAND.
-■ ' ■■■■ " ii ...
An experiment is to bo tried in Birt
miugham, EugluuU, wbiob will a
ouee engage the attention of all per
sous Interested in temperauoe. The
Council of that oity, by a vote of 40
to 10 has decided that it is desira
ble for the municipality to obtain
the requisite power !t •‘acquire, on
payment of a fair compensation to
be fixed by Parliament, ail existing
interest in the retail sale of intoxica
ting drinks in the city, and thereaf
ter, if it sees fit, .to carry on the
trade for the convenience and -on
behalf of the inhabitants, but so
that do individual shall any
Eecuniary Interest in, or derive any
enedt from the sale.” The ex[*eri
ment is substantially that which has
been put in operatiou in Gothenburg,
Sweden, where the town controls
the sole of liquor, dictates where it
shall be sold, who shall sell it, and
at what prices, and thus becomes re
sponsible for the condition of the
people so far as sobriety is conceru-
Io Gothenburg it is claimed by
the abvocates of the system that it
has worked well and it is stated that
intemperance has been materially
reduced. This statement, however,
is decidedly controverted by official
reports. In letters from our Consul
at Stockholm to the State Depart
ment numerous citatious are made
from medical authorities on this very
district of Gothenburg, testifying to
the effect of intemperance as the
cause of puaperisrn. The universal
testimonial is to the effect that in
temperance has steadily increased,
and that the laboring classes devote
a large pert of their wages to the
purchase uf intoxicating drinks.
Since the passage of the motion in
Birmigbum numerous criticisms of
the desirability and feasibility of the
plan have been made the ablest, per
haps, by Mr. Lowe, member of Par
liament, In an artiole contributed to
the January number of the Fort
ngihtlg, Review. He bases his ob
jections to the experiment, first,
upon the immense expenses at which
the experiment is to be tried, amount
ing iu the case of Birmingham to
nearly a million pounds sterling nec
essary to compensate the dealers
whose license are to be extinguish
ed. Second, upon the great danger
of corruption in the vast amount of
patronage which the operation of
the scheme would throw into the
hands of municipalities, upon which
he says very pertinently : "The Birm
ingham Town Council are cuttiug
out for themselves an enormous
amount of patronage. As the one
publican of the town they will have
some thousands of lucrative places
to give away, aud to give away to
persons who will necessarily become
their own constituents aud the elec
tors of the boroughs. Are they quite
sure of their own virtue? Aud if a
long and unvaried experience has
made them secure on that; point,
ean they answer with equal coufi
deuce for those who may come after
them? Have they no fear that their
well-meaut endeavors to prevent
Birmingbam from becoming a city
of drunkenness mayYesult in turning
It into a hot-bed of corruption?
Burdened by Debt.
A BROOKLYN CHURCH COUNCIL TO ADVISE
A STRUGGLING CONGREGATION WHAT
TO DO.
Tne Council of Congregational
Churches, called to give advice to the
Puritan Church, Brooklyn, convened
yesterday. The resignation of the
ltev. Cbas. Hall Everest, who accep
ted a call to Plymouth Church iu
Chicago, was read and the church’s
acceptance thereto. The council ap
proved of the resignation.
The other topic was the church’s
financial difficulties. The architect
who planned the church put its cost
at $40,000. It was built iu the time
of the war by day’s work aud cost
over SIOO,OOO. The church committee
explained to the couucil that, on the
Ist of Eebcuary they were $93,700 iu
debt, that foreclosure preceding had
begun under the first mortgage of
$40,000. Besides this incumbrance
there was a second mortgage of $20,-
000, then a chattel mortgage of $9,000
on the organ and furniture, and a
Boating debt of about $20,000. The
church, was behind in its current ex
penses, its salaries aud its city assess
ments. There was not the slightest
hope that they could pay their obli
gations. The question troubling
them was whether the individual
property of the church members
must go with the church property to
pay the debt, or whether the relin
quishing of all the property to the
creditors discharged them.
It was further explained that the
trustees of the church had, when the
mortgages were execated, signed the
bonds for full amount, and they, of
course, must be held liable for the de
ficiency arising under foreclosure.
One of the church members thought
that if the costly building was entire
ly off the ground they could get more
money for the lots than for all
together.
After much discussion the couhcel,
by resolution, advised the church
and society to relinquish their entire
church property aud lots to their
creditors. They further advised the
disbaodiDg of the society as a legal
corporation as soon as this is done,
but recommend the church by all
means to oontiuue, under such new
arrangement as may give promise of
success, and in view of the irnpor
tance-of the field of labor about it,
they reoocnmeod it to secure anew
place of worship at once.—Sun.
Loving and Hating. —“lt you love
love more. If you hate hating less. Life
is too short to spend in haling any one.
Why war against a mortal who is going
the same road with us? Why not expand
the flower of life and happiness by learn
ing to love by teaching those who are near
and dear the beautiful lesson? Your hands
may be hard, but your heart need not be.-
Yourform may be bent and ugly, but do
you know that the most beautiful flowers
often grow in the most rugged, unshelter
ed places? The palace lor care, the cottage
for love. Not that there is no love in a
mansion; but somehow, if we are careful,
business will crowd ali there is of beamy
out of the heart. This is why God has
given us the Sabbath and Saturday night
that we may leave business in the office
and have a heart cleansing.”
A Queer Fall in Church.— There
was a sudden sensation in an Oakland
church on a late Sunday. It appears that
a young lady member of the choir became
so anxious to examine a certain exaspera
tingly pretty bonnet in a pew back under
the organ loft, she lost her balance and
turned r sommersault down upon the un
suspecting congregation. The minister
had only reached “tenthly,” when he was
shocked by a dissolving view of stripped
stockings; and the millionaire underneath
had just selected his smaliest coin for the
heathern, when a pair ol two inch heels
struck him in the back of the neck.-Pitts

The following is an extract from a description, published in the New York Tribute, by the wel
known agriculturist, Solon ltobinson:
All the farmers were of the “well to do” sort, and some of them, who have turned their attention
to fruits and market gardening, have grown rich. The soil ia loam, varying from sandy to clayey,
and surface gently undulating, intersected with small streams and occasional wet meadows, in
which deposits ol peat or muck are stored, sufficient to fertilize the whole upland surface, after it
has been exhausted of its natural fertility.
It is certainly one of the most extensive fertile tracts, in an almost level position, and suitable
condition for pleasant farming, that we know of this side of the Western prairies. We found some
of the oldest farms apparently just as profitably productive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a
hundred years ago.
The geologist would soon discover tbo cause of this continued fertility. The whole country 1* a
marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidence* of calcareous substances, geueraliy in
the form of indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct forms of ancient shells, of the tertia
ry formation; and this rnarly substance is scattered all through the soil, iu a very comminuted
form, and in the exact condition most easilv assimilated by such plants as the farmer desire* to
cultivate.
