How Lager Beer is Made.

4 readable account of the manufacture of
soda water, with many interesting facts re-
lating thereto, derived from morning journal
was given in the Express a few days since
The following in reterenGe f. the n,adnffiii %,
and sale of another popular beverage, VIII, no
doubt, be found of equal interest: /
There are two kinds Of lager-bier made
one for winter use requires less time IN brew
ing, and can be put ia market as soon as
brewed, while summer beer must be slowed
away for many months. Lager is made from
malt and hops, and can only be brewed IN the
cold winter months. In the fall Of the year
the malt is purchased and stored away until
about December LIST. 1t is then placed in
large mashtubs and soaked for some time IN
cold water When sufficiently softened and
swelled, warm water is added, and the tenn
perature of the water increased gradually un7
til the whole mass is almost boiling. This
process extracts all the saccharine matter
from the malt, leaving of the grain nothing
but the s'hul" This liquor is called Wart.
From the mash-tubs the liquor is drawn
into huge kettles, where hops are added, and
the whole mass boiled for two hours. 1t Is
then carried to the coolers, which are simply
immense sheet-iron pans, generally placed III
and occupying the whole Of the upper floors
of the brewery The beer is poured into
these pans to the depth of two or three inches
the windows and doors of the building being
thrown open, and the liquor thus speedily
cooled. 1t is then drawn off into huge fer
mentng tubs, where little yeast is added te
facilitate the fermentation. Here the beel
renaus from six to twelve days, according te
the temperature of the atmosphere, until
it has worked off all impurities. The bee
then in its purified state, is drawn into larg
tanks, holding from twenty to thirty barrels
and slowed away in immense cellars for Sum
mer-lse. Theproc of manufacturing lager
beer occupies about one month, after which
it requires to stand about four months befor
it is ready for use. The Winter beer is SINH
larry made, but does not require so muc

Lager must be kept in cool place, an

and secure places, accounts for the brewer
not being able to meet the demand tor bee

upper part of the city has blasted out OF tn

double this sum has been invested by I'll

ANCIENT RELICs.-Mr. Sprague, who has

place, Immediately west of the Third street
bridge, has been engaged for some days past
in digging down and grading the side OF

In doing so, the workmen have exhumed a
considerable quantity of human bones.
Yesterday they dug up several skulls, bones
of the legs and arms, vertebra, &c, in a toll
erably good state of preservation. The dis
cOvery of these remains go to establish the
fact that this locality was burial place of
the Indian tribes who once inhabited the

The Sphynx a Mystery.
Dr. Parsons, Lecture,

We were one of a large audience to hear
the lecture of the Rev. DIR. Parsons, In Hus-
ton Hall, last evening. The lecture was,
for the most part, the presentation of a
dream or vision, with which the author pro-
fessed TO be favored some years ago. The
Doctor is a superior speaker, being large,
portly man, and possessing deep, sOnor-
Gus and commanding voice. n
He did not exactly claim divine inspira-
ton for his profcssed vision or dream ; but,
his remarks tended TO make the impression
that he believed himself to have been so in
spired. He thinks that what he saw in his
revelation indicated the dawn of the Mil
lenium, as being now ready to break upon
the benighted world.
The three great characteristics of that
glorious age are to be Liberty, Fratessity,
and EQUALITY, the last word always re-
ceiving the greatest emphasis at the hands
Of the speakers circumstance which the
audience did not seem 10 feel like endors-
ing, Some illusions to the late President
as the author Of the Emancipation Pro-
clamation," and as the American Moses of
the BLACK race and some other kindred al
lusions, brought down the house consider
ably; but whenever the last and most inn
portant element Of the lecturers Millennial
Triunlty- Eqaality-was pronounced, there
was a stubborn silence maintained through
out the audience.
The Doctor is evidently past that age
when men are inclined TO take advice, and
were II not for this part, we would recon-
mend to him the study of other visions and
dreams,-those of Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel,
Paul, and John.-as somewhat more to be
relied upon than the very suspicious one
to which he treated his audience last even
ing, There Is something grand in the
dreams aud visions of the old prophets and
when the good Doctor told us of his vision
last evening, we could not help exclaiming,

/ The Senate Finance Committee, through
Senator Sherman, to-day, reported ad-
versely upon House bill TO provide for the
postponement for two months of the heavy
return and collection of income tax.
We learn that the committee are of opin-
Ion that while the passage Of this bill
would materially derange the business of
the Treasury Department, 10 would result
In no general good to the public. rIa,. M,
Mr.. Sherman urged immediate action,
put objection being made, the matter goes
over until Tomorrow. when the bill will
probably be killed in the Senate. n. .-.,fI.
The House Committee on Commerce will
Tomorrow consider Mr.. Eggleston's bill
further to provide for the safety Of the
lives Of passengers on board of vessels pro-
PEELED by steam; to regulate the salaries of

Fant amendments are suggested, but the bill

ment that Mr.. Scovel. of the New Jersey

Ezy-DR. Morris VEGETABLE LIVER PILLS
are constantly becoming more and more
popular. They are acknowledged to have
no rival in the cure of such diseases as

kinds, Jaundice. Costiyeness, Pain in the
stomach, Side, Head, Back, and Bowels,
Bilious Complaints, Loss OF Appetite, Sick

Of Spirits, Pain or Weakness of the Breast,
Diseases of Spine and Ksdneys Sore Eyes,
Diarrhea or Dysentery, Cold, etc.
Most of the above-named diseases may be
prevented by taking DIR. Morris VEGB-
TABLE LIVER PILLS III season, or when the
liver becomes first deranged. which carry
off, through the bowles and the secretions
of the skin and kidneys, those poisonous
hu' ~ors that clog the stomach. bowels. and
skin. and become accumulated in the blood.
There has been as great a progress in sci
ence, and especially in that of medicine,
within the past few years as there has in
the arts. TO such perfection have they
brought this science. that the medicinal
properties are condensed and concentrated
into the resins or salts of the plant, which
they extract from Ii. and leave the inert or
woody matter. The old mode of extracting
.fese medicinal properties-by boiling for
a long time in water-is found, in most
cases, to render the medicinal qualities
wholly inert, or even decomposing them.
DIR. Morris VEGETABLE LIVER PILLS are
composed of chemical vegetable extracts
mostly from plants growing In our own
country some of these plants have direct
action on the liver, others upon the skin,
others on the kidneys. and others upon the
towels and lungs. 1t Is by peculiar
chemical combination of all these extracts
that these Pills are made possessing the
most extraordinary efficacy for curing the
above-named diseases.
