Consumption Of whiskey.

The amount of whiskey consumed an
nually by the principal nations of the
globe foots up to frightful figures. The
annual consumption for drinking pur-
poses alone in the United States averages
a gallon and half per head to the whole
population Large as this may appear,
il is shown that the consumption in Can
ada and the other British provinces
reaches over one gallon and quarter
per head, while in Russia it averages no
less than two gallons to each man, wo-
man and child Of the population. In
Great Britain, where the common people
do not, in general, drink spirits, the
amount consumed annually varies from
eight-tenths of gallon per capita But
in that country beer is the more universal,
popular beverage, and no less than
$1,000. 900 barrels Of ale and beer are
consumed every year, whereas not more
than five or six million barrels are pro-
duced in the United States. The enor-
nous consumption of whiskey in Russia
is due 10 the extreme GOODNESS OF the
climate. In our own country the amount
drank during The six cold months Of the
wear is quadruple that used in the former
months. Take an American and Russian,
confine them 10 the same locality, allow
them free access each to his own barrel,
and if the honor of our country is not
sustained-why we are deceived in the
capacity Of our representative man.

dened by his vigorous frontier life while
a youth, he preserved, by total abstinence
from intoxicating liquors, and modera,
ton in all his habits, the strong and
elastic constitution that survived the tur-
mol, strife and perplexities Of his long
and tumultuous public life. he could
dictate for hours, and tire out an amauu-
ensis He possessed that faculty, com
mon to but few men, to dictate five let
tiers on different subjects at . time. He
had an excellent memory. At one time
he delivered an extemporaneous speech
in the Senate and the morning after re-
ported it verbatim to the reporter.
For some year and half past he has
been suffering more or less from disease
Of the kidneys, which took, however, no
serious form until the latter part OF De
cember, 1865, and continuing then with
great severity during the months OF JAM
uary, February and March Of the present
year. Indeed, as early as the beginning
of January, it was feared that he would
not live, and his absent children were
telegraphed to come home; but he lin.
gered on through April, when signs OF
Improvement became manifest and con-
tiuued until early in June, when his con.
dition was such as to permit of his walk
ing out in the garden, and to give his
family and friends strong hopes of his
recovery.
AS late as Wednesday last he sat up
and conversed freely with his children,
but on Thursday symptoms Of the old
disease reappeared, and he became much
worse, failing rapidly throughout Friday
and Saturday, and to the hour of his
death on Sunday morning.
He had five children, four of whom
survive him-Elizabeth Cass, deceased

Matilda, now Mrs. Ledyard; Isabella,
now Mrs. Won Limburg He left a will

Mesmerizing Lobsters.

From the Portland (Me.) Transcript .H
Daring recent trip down Casco Bay,
we called on our venerable friend, Mr..
Jonathan Chase, proprietor of Jewels
Island
Some lively Holsters, just caught,
were placed in boat hauled up on the
beach where we stood. Mr.. Chase grasped
one by the back and stood it on its head
on the thwarts Of the boat, pressing 1t
down firmly, and at the same time ar
ranging its large pluggy claws SO as to
steady it in its acrobatic position. 1t
did got occur to us at the time, as 1t now
does, that the object of pressing it down
80 firmly was to cause the little point OF
shell that protects the eyes to stick into
the board and assist in steadying the
fish in its singular attitude. For the
same reason, perhaps, as there was con
siderable wind, he bent down the fall like
tail, and held it so for minute or two
with his left hand In the meantime,
with the tips of his fingers of the right
hand, he gently rubbed the back of the
creature she'll The effect was magical,
and the sight so ludicrous as to make our
whole party laugh till the tears came
The long, slender limbs had been
struggling blindly in the air, each on its
own hook prospecting" for the means
of getting down out of its awkward and
undigniGed position; but as the old gen
tleman rubbed one by one they dropped
in sleep and hung listlessly down. Only
one leg at time succumbed to the sub
tie influence. But when they were all
down, then most evidently the fish "slep
all over" To one who has not seen this
phenomenon it would be incredible that
She'll fish could strike such an expressive
attitude. 1t is statue Of sleep. Every
line of its motionless limbs seems to say,
II am enjoying delicious nap; please
don't disturb me
At this stage of the process the sup
porting hand may be removed, and there
stands the lobster on its head, immova-
BILE, without any prop save such as its
own members supply, and there. it will
stand for an indefinite period, the most
comical sight conceivable: A rev OF
Holsters all asleep, side by side, we should
recommend as cure for hypochondria.

Last DAYS Of Lewis cass,

From the Detroit PostJ
Since his retirement from the Cabinet,
most OF his time has been spent quietly
at home, and his leisure hours have been
devoted 10 reading and writing All OF
the most rare and valuable works, par
ticularly those of history and travel,
we're to be found upon his table as speed
ily as announced from the press. During
the early part Of the war he wrote much
to public men, giving his views and opin-
ions concerning the mnltitudinous legal,
constitutional, political, and military
questions which were sgitsting and diyi-
ding the county. Shortly after the ap-
pointment Of Mr.. Stanton as Secretary
Of War, the General telegraphed him,
congratulating him upon the tlgor and
earnestness with which he prosecuted
the a.asous duties Of his position.
Blessed with natural robust health har-

The London Times winds up an arti-
Gle on American politics as follows;
1t appears that the President has not
only the balance Of reason on his side,
but the advantage of sincerity also.
When Mr.. johnson states his views We
do not suspect that be is influenced by
any other motives than those which he
avows. Bat as much cannot be said for
the Radicals. We are not entitled TO
condemn them in a body, but their pro
eeedings in Congress during the present
session irresistibly suggest the concln-
sion that they are animated as much BY
the spirit Of party as by any pure politi-
cal principle A question which would
tax 70 the utmost the wisdom OF the
visest government, is thus. debased on
grounds with which wisdom has nothing
to do, and one Of the greatest problems
of modern days is left to find its own So

the young chief, and then without a
shudder he plunged into the seething
water below. Still the young maiden
clung to him, nor yet did the death strug.
gle part them. The mad waves dashed
fearfully over them, and their loud wall
was fitting requiem to their departing
spirits. The horror stricken warriors
gazed wildly into the foaming torrent
then dashed with reckless haste down
the declivity, to bear the sad tidings to
the old chief. He heard the tale in ST.
lenee. But sorrow was on his spirit, and
it was broken. Henceforth his seat was
untitled by the council fire, and its red
light cleaned ftfnlly over his grave.

BASHAW by KOSSUTH.

10 WILL MAKE THE SEASON OF
IN 1866, at the stable of the Proprietor,
from the LIST Of April to the LIST day
CT August at $50 THE SEASON, and $50 to
INSURE.
BASHAW, sired by Kossuth, dam thorough
bred, by Alamonde; Alamonde by imported
Margrave. Kossnth's pedigree is given to
show his abundance of Messenger blood, con-
sidered by all to be the best ever disseminated.
Kossuth was by New York Black Hawk
ont of the celebrated trotting mare, Lady of
the Lake; her dam was out of Messenger
mare New York Black Hawk was by An
drew Jackson the sire also of jackson, KEN
BILE Jackson, Henry Clay, Young Andrew
jackson, and many other fast ones. Andrew
Jackson was by Young Bashaw; Young Ba-
shaw was by imported Bashaw; the dam of
Andrew Jackson was by Whynot, and he by
old imported Messenger; the grand dam of
Andrew Jackson was also by imported Mes
senger.
New York Black Hawks dam was the dis
trotted her mile in m. 80 sec, and she was
not exceled by any horse of her day. Sally
Miller was by Tippo Saib, he by imported
Messenger.
IL will readily be seen that Bashaw is rela-
led to the best horses of our country, and that
the fresh infusion of thorough blood through
his dam gives him superiority for producing
colts of speed and endurance, as blood will
tell.
