the LIST Crownmember (Stakemann) with IA
votes and the 1st member for Christiansted's
country district (Christmas) with 9 votes, the
latter office having been subject to two yOtings
in consequence of scattered votes.
His Excellency the Governor remarked, that
the office of Secretary to the Council has hi
therto been viewed as burthensOme, wherefore
he in the draft of the new Rules for conducting
the Councils business - (which would be laid
before the Council)-has proposed the appoint
ment of two Secretaries, whereby the labor
would be divided and rendered considerably
easier. This proposal being put to the vote
a majority Of II votes against A was in favor Of
the appointment of but one Secretary.
The appointment of a Secretary was put to
the vote, to which office the End member for
Christiansted's town-district (Pontavice) was
elected, who however declared most positively,
that he in consideration of his private business
neither could nor would accept the office, and
would prefer retiring in case he should be COM
PEELED to do so.
The Chairman reminded the honorable mem
Der of his legal incapacity to retire from the
Council or to withdraw from the appointment
without the Councils consent, which be submit
ted to the Councils decision. The consent in
question having been unanimously refused, and
the said member having repeated his decided
declaration not to accept the appointment, the
Chairman requested the Council to decide, what
steps should be adopted in consequence of what
had occurred.
The 3rd Crown-member (DuBois) asked to
be informed, what means existed for the purpose
of compelling a member that declined the per.

the obligations incumbent on him according to

MISCELLANEOUS.
HOW LAGER BEER Is MADE

IN view Of the rapidly increasing popular
ity of the Teutonic beverage called Lager
Beer, an explanation of the method of manu-.
featuring it may be interesting. 1t is u
iermentcd liquor made from matted grain
barley; principally. Hops and other bitter
fiavorlng matters are added to improve the
taste and impart their peculiar properties,
tonic and otherwise, to the liquor. Lager
Beer properly made, il anulyzed will give
about the following result Water, 0I 80
malt, G5 alcohol. B Al, carbonic acid, Oil.
The larger brewing season begins about
the close ot October and ends about the first
OF April. In the manufacture of beer, the
barley wheat, or other grain is selected with
much care. 1t is first subject to the pro
cess called mating which is effected in large
cisterns with depth of some six or seven
inches above the sarlace of the grain. When
the grain has become fully soaked--usually
absorbing about 40 or 40 pounds to hun
dred weight ut barlcy-it is taken out, al
lowed to drain for six hours, and then spread
upon the malt floor, where the next process
of the operation is termed couching. Lying
in beds of twelve or sixteen inches in depth
the grain soon becomes moist through
chemical changes, ard termination com
mences. When this has gone sufficiently
far, which is known by the grain becoming
! white and crumbly like meal, the process is
changed and gcrmina,ion Immediately ar
rested by the grain being spread on the
floor Of malt kiln, aud the temperature
raised gradually from 80 to 140 degrees;
during the operation OF drying the malt
being frequently stirred.
Then comes the brewing process which,
| like the first stage, embraces several differ
cnt operations. The malt is tirstgronnd or
crushed 70 course powder, which is' after
wards sheken into large mash-tuhs, contain-
ing water at Il temperature OF slG0 degrees.
| Mure water is added, and :he temperature
carefully raised several degrees higher, after
which the infusion is tlla@n off More wa
ter is then added to the crushed malt in
the tub draw oil and added to :he first;
still another we,ting takes place with the
water Mt the boiiing, which is done by
| placing the infusion in large copper vessels
furnished With steam valves. Du!ing the
hni!ing operation the hops are introduced.
/, The boiling over, the liquor is strained and
allowed to cool. when it is placed in hugh
wooden watts, and yeast added. After hav-
| ing itrmen,ed long enough, the liquor is
drawn OF into aiye receptaces and stored
in hugh vaults, where it is allowed to re-
main for several months. This is called
tegring.

To the Veterans of 1912.

March on brave relics of the past,
OF ancient honor's roll the last,
Holding the starry banner fast.
Upon each venerable head f...,....
There rests though many years have fled
The benson of the mighty dead. ...
Your deeds are writ on lands and main
At Plattsburg and at Lnndy's Lame
All who shall call the record vain
The hand may lose is sturdy power,
The soldier form no longer tower,
The heart shall never faint nor cover.
Call over each year the shortening roll,
And pledge old memories in the bowl,
In tribute to each gallant soul.
Some coming year. alas may find
But one old veteran left behind,
TO bear your banner in the wind.

false leg which was captured in March, 1864,
from Col Ulrc Dahlgreen, who WAS killed

received information which led them to sus-

county, near Charlottesville, where they found
it upon the person of Mr.. n. p. Ballard, who

His eye is as calm as n new moon, and when
he crosses a leg. it is forLsome time. But
his eyeids never stir, nnd, when you fully
meet his look, you feel yoursclr-understoo
His beard is coarse and wiry- luxuriant and
unrefined-and it mats together his under
jaw, with straight line Of reposc which is
simply an expression OF strength and silence.
His nose is not well shaped, and his profile
consequently is not good; hut never in my

of Rome by the French troops and the gene
raj condition of the Popedom says: ,..-
"The cirtain is beginning to lift little

Great as are the domestic interests of Eng

main interest likely to gather around Rome
There lies the heart of the coming struggle

A STRANGE FAcr.-An exchange paper
says that Mr.. Seward had been kept in
ignorance of the attack on the President his
physician fearing that the shock would be
ton great for him to bear, and all newspapers
were rigidly excluded from his room. On
the Sunday following the assassination, the
Secretary had the bed wheeled around so
that he could sec the tops OF the trees in the
park opposite, just putting on the spring
foliage, when his eyes caught the stars and
stripes ut half mast on the War Department,
on which he gazed awhile, the turning to
his attendant, said: "The President is dead!''
The confused attendant stammered and
changed color as he tried to say nay, but
the sagacious old mau suiG: If he had
been alive he would have been the first To
call on me; but he has not been here, nor has
he sent TO know how am, and there's the
flag at half mast" The old statesman's in
ductiyc reason had told the truth and he
lay in silence, the great tears coursing down
his gashed checks, us the dreadful truth
sank into his mind.
