SPEAKING WELL OF OTHERS.

n the disposition to speak well of others
were universally prevalent, the world would
become comparative paradise. The oppo-
site disposition is the Pandora box, which,
when opened, fills every house and neigh

enmities and heart burnings flow from this
souxce How much happiness is interrupt

malignan: spirit of evil, when they find vent
by the lips, go forth on their mission like foul

and in. the conduct of the best there will be
occasional faults, which might seem to Justl-

when there is occasion for fault-fnding, to
do it privately to the erriDg one. This may
prove salutary. 1t is proof of interest il

The Lager Bier Question-EViI it ErtOxi cate
Remarks able Consumption.

The Lager Bier t2uestion-E III II EUtOxlcato
Remarkable Consumption
The New York Courts are now engaged
on the lager bier question, with view to
decide whether or not it is an Intoxicating
drink. Much information has been obtained
from witnesses, who have had the most ex-
tensive experience, as consumers of the
ticle. but the ''poini'' has not yet been def
nitely settled. One DR.. Rees testified that
''if man drank lager bier enough to intox-
icate him, he would be intoxica.ed-that is,
if he imbibed lager bier TO such amount
that the alcohol contained therein would be
sufficient to intoxicate, intoxication would
! follow" After this clear and explicit state
ment, from a scientific witness, it is difficult
| to understand why the Court should have
asked any further questions. But the legal
gentlemen were not satisfied, and they pro-
ceeded with the examination of witnesses.
Al individual in the habit of drinking the
bier, swore as follows:
| Jucob Hass testified that he had drank
one hundred and six glasses in one day, and
! was not intoxicated. He stated, also, that
lie had taken twenty-five glasses before
coming into Court; he had CONNIE need drin-
| king at half past eight O'Clock in the NOR
ming, and had finished the twenty-second
glass Just before coming into Cour: at l o.
clock, and did not consider himself intoxica-
i fed The Judge asked him what, if any,
was the effect OF large quantityi He said
it made him q feel ware coot and shleep ware
weit''
Facob's' experience certainly should have
settled the question. He drank lo6 glasses
in day, and large quantity had no worse
effect than to make HIM feel ''vare goot.
,Fhe Court, however, thought Jacobs stom-
a CHI might not be fair test, and proceed
ed +:
Several other German Witnesses testified
that they had frequently drunk twenty, forty,
sixty, or even eighty glasses in day with
out being Intoxicated One witness swore
that he had drank fourteen glasses that NOR
ming, and another said that he could drink
four gallons day, without being intoxica-
ted by it in the least. The last witness
called, testified that he visited great many
lager bier saloons, and he Thought "'Fhe av-
erage number of glasses taken by persons
visiting them at single sitting, was about
five to six--sometmes more aud sometimes
less.'' He considered Sunday the best day
in the week for saloons; where there was
music, they were patronized by women as
! well as men.
, The Court adjourned without giving a de-
cision. We viii take care to announce the
5 result of this important case. Whatever
f this may be, much information has been
gained as to the capacity of the stomach o.

Hidden bocumen nta-DtscoHsry and EGscue
A late number of the Washington Star
has the following scrap of intellgence:
A week or two ago the doorkeeper of the
House of Representatives reported to Spea-
ker Orr, the finding by some of his subordi-
mates, in the centre (rctunda(of the Cupitof
building, large lot of books belonging to
the government, some of them OF much val
ue, not few of which were buried in boxes,
we hear, under heaps Of coal ashes. Phe
Speaker ordered their prompt rescue; and for
some time past they have been gradually
ushered into the light of the building. Thus
25 600 volumes have beel dug out of the
catacomb in which they have been entombed
for years past-at east long enough, the
doorkeeper tells US, to result in total obli-
WON on the part of those entrust ted with their
custody to who is responsible for their To-
cation here and the shameful condition of
not few of them. Among these books are
800 full sets of the works of John Adams,
the records of the debates in Parliament as
far back as 1900, various valuable French
books and newspaper files in French and
English, various manuscript books connected
with the details of the custom house busi-
ness of the country about twenty years ago
Themass of the rescued volumes were pub
lshed by order Of Congress, and in all, they
will number perhaps, SC, 900 volumes, many
of which have been irretrievably injured by
neglect, the rats and coal ashes together.

The Duly Wisconsin, edited by Cramer,
Formerly OF Albany, speaking OF the wealth
OF the most emineut American statesmen,
concludes his list with the following refer
ence to Silas Wright
''Sllas Wright, with his estate of $4,000,
was really wealthier than many others are
with 100000. He owed no man anythihg;
he met his obligations with the utmost
fEoinptness, and never INDUCED in any lux
ury that he could not pay for. He was
model Of Republican simplicity. 1t should
also be understood that he was not mean in
saving money.
There Was something glorious in witness
sing great Statesman like Silas Wright
never asking pecunary fAvot-or even ac-
cepting one. yet possessing only an ttome
that could support him and his wife in fru-
gaiity. When he was elected Governor OF
the great State OF New York, he was known
to be too poor to furnish his house. His
rich friends got together and without his
knowledge made up subscription which
was rendered him as gilt, in order to fur
nish his mansion. This he respectfully bu,
kindly declined, saying with true Roman
gra ndeur, that he could not consent to re-

New York, and ne considered it his impera-
tive duty IL live or whatever income the peo-
pie had appended to that Office and he did
live on that income while he was Governor,
in good siyle;' but with no oslentation.-
Such an example on the part of SC eminent
a man as he was, is one OF Those precious
legacies that the young men OF the present
day should bear in mnd--as no true great
ness can ever be achieved SO long they are
the pecuniary slaves of even their nearest
