TIIK ILLINOIS TKMI'KltAXC'K LAW.
Tho (lonernl Assembly of (lio Htate
of Illinois paused, and. tliu Governor
approved, In Jnnunry of tho prcsont
your, a law for the regulation of the
walo of ardent spirits, which seems to
us (o ho o eminently wise that wo
regret that a lack of Hpauo forbid tt.s
to present moro than an abstract of it.
Tho essential provision aro these:
(I.) No man may sell liquor without
u llcniifo, and no man shall have a li
cense wlio will not givo a bond In
tho ponal sum of $.'1,000, with two
good securities, to repay all damages
that may nrlso from either selling or
giving away such liquor. (2.) No
liquor shall bo sold to minors or to
persons cither Intoxicated or in the
habit of becoming intoxicated. ('!.)
lord to deprive him of tenants who
aro pests in tho community. "Tho
Pcoplo of the Stato of Illinois" sim
ply say to dealers : " Wo will license
you to sell liquors, but you shall not
sell to our hoys, or our unfortunates
whom you have already ruined and
you shall make no man drunk. If
you do, wo will hold you and your
landlords responsible for all tho (lain
ages, of every possible kind ; and If
you cannot find bondsmen who will
bo responsible for your loyalty to tho
law, then you aro not good enough
to sell liquors at all. AVo trample on
no man's right", and wo purposo to
maintain our own." Dr. F. O. Jfot
Itiml, in Scrlbncr'tjor April.
" Whisky hah rsr.n Him t'l'."
I'itjaro talks in tho following strain :
"There Is scarcely a community

(1.) Any man who causes tho intoxi
cation of another, with or Without a
license, shall pay a reasonable com
pensation to tho person who takes
care of tho Inebriate, to bo recovered
In an action of debt. (15.) Every per
son who is injured, in any tm.y, by
any Intoxicated person, shall have a
right of action against any innu who
caused tho intoxication in whole or
in part, and against tho owor or own
ers of tho building In which tho sale
tookplaco ; a married woman having
tho same rights to bring suits, and to
control the same and the amount re
covered as ixiinr-Kic. Tho remain
ing provisions relate mainly to tho
operation of thoe wo have given,
and need not bo alluded to beyond
tho fact thai one of thorn declares
the giving away of liquors toovado
the provisions of tho act shall ho held
to be an unlawful selling.
There Is in (Ids law the fullest rec
ognition of the right of men to sell
ardent spirits, and of other men to
buy and drink them. Tho law in
sist, however, that only the proper
persons shall drink, and that they
.shall drink only in moderate quanti
ties. No minor shall have the priv
ilege of buying an article whoso dan-

whisky has dono It. Tho lawyer,
with n brilliant talent and a largo
business, has fallen below tlfo range
of respectability and confidence.
Whisky was tho solo cause. Tho

fore him, has Played out, and the
account Is whisky. The Indue, of

of private nud neighborhood talk.

Whisky will beat any man living,

A Kcmnrkablc Scene in Court.
The inilMlel)MaTclegraph relates
the following singular occurrence In
court :
At 12 o'clock yesterday Judgo
Woodhull charged tho Jury In the

them to return a verdict of
"not guilty," Inasmuch ns tho evi
dence did not support the indictment.
Tho Jurors were then directed to
stand up and glvo in their verdict.
Not a juror moved from his place.
They seemed to bo extremely puz

Judgo Woodliull Itlse, gentle

At tills second command, nicy

crowded forward toward tho bar,
without making any disturbance,
however, beyond tho noiso of shuf
fling feet and suppressed whispers.
Judge Tho Jury cannot under
stand exactly whnt Is meant by tho
court. There is nothing unusual
alxnit this case, any more than thoro
would bo about rendering a verdict
of non-suit. You may render It in
this form : "Under tho direction of
tho court, we II ml a verdict of not

There was no reply to tills, and
the ludgo added : " Whon you say

If they refuse to do it, they will bo
