A Temperance Measure.
Cheater Lantern.
A month or two ago, we men
tinned the record-breaking sales
at the ('hest< r dispensary, amounting
to in one day Last
Monday tho-e figures were just
doubled, we have learned, the
gales amounting to $1060. On
Saturday the filthy lucre handed
in was $'.>40, making $2,000 for
two consecutive days. On Moo
dav, we have been told, the sales
would have been considerably
greater hud not the larger packages
been exhausted, so that the
money take* in was limited hy j
the capacity for handing out liquor ,
in the smaller packages to the
crowds that were pressing and j
clamoring for it. Thus the dis- ,
penality is fulfilling its mission;
it is raking in the shekels, and
furnishing liquor to everybody
that wants it, either to drink or
resell. Surely good people who
were deluded into the belief that
the institution was a kind of
temperance measure can no longer
fail to see their egregious mistake.
When about one-third of the profits
of throe dispensaries tiring to a
city more revenue than a score of
high license saloons, where is the
advantage in the dispensary, except
as a money maker (

It often becomes monotonous,
it is jjenorally, or seemingly is, a
fruitless task, to urje a reform of

Borrowing Paper*.
The following is cllipp.d from
Ths Enquirer of 1870, in which it
had been republished from tne
Charleston Courier. It had a sharp
point then that has not since been
appreciably dulled, and is deserv
mg of publication again:
Ever since the publication of
the first newspaper the world has
been bothered with neighborly.
|>eople, who borrow the newspaper,
and ever since that time the victims
of these neighbors have been
devising means of ridding themselves
of the nuisance The method
resorted toby a subscriber of The
Courier, we think, is a good one,
and can scarcely fail to have a
salutary effect. For many months
our friend was bothered by a norrowing
neighbor, and for many
months he bore his affliction with
Christian fortitude. At length he
became desperate, and finally hit
upon the following expedient: He.
came to The Courier offi,. nnd
ordered The Daily Courier sent
to his neighbor. This was done
and at the expiration of H month
the neighbor aforesaid called at
this office, and stated tha* the paper !
nan being sent to his house, when I
he was not u subscriber, fie was '
told that M. (th. neighbor
from whom he had been in the !
habit of borrowing the paper),had
ordered it sent to him, and that1
the subscription price would be I
PHid by him (Mr. ). The j
of the bore were opened, and tiist
man has since been a steady sub
briber of The Courier. Ii? never
again borrowed n paper.
