GAMBRINUs.-For ages past it has
been the custom at Munich, the Cap
ital of Bavaria, on the. LIST of May
each year to open the Royal cellars,
inspect and stamp the beer, which be-
ing brewed entirely under Govern
mept supervision, was required to be
of 4 certain age before It could be
opened and used. On THE first day of
May each year, therefore, the citizens
en- paqsse AsSenbleafei In the streets and
fermed1a2Iihe extending to the cellars,
Here were cong eaatea1 2mgn 2 and
women of every rank and condition,
the rich and the poor -eommingled,
awaiting, mug in hand, forAheir sup
ply in turn of the first, new.s beer.
This was denominated buck beer"
because it had a singular habit, if
taken in any considerable quantity, to
butt a fellow over. In this country,
where brewing is done on more liberal
terms, and no Royal will is requisite
for the opening of the beer cellars,
the German brewers are accustomed
in ~mapyicities to celebrate the first of
May in honor. of, Gambrinus, who, as
tradition has it, discovered the art of
brewing buck beer" This is done
in divers ways in. different localities,
which it is not now necessary to des-.
.ignate. i g
S4Yesterday the brewers of this,city
did honor to Gambrinus, by a parade
of beer wagons, variously ornamented
for the occasion. Nine -breweries
were represented, and the procession
was led by a vehicle. on which was
borne a cask, or tank, ofgiant proper
tions. The display was highly cred
liable, and attracted much attention.
We have not time or space to enter
into particulars, but it is grayely sus-
pected that a huge number of buck
beer was absorbed yesterday. Nor
was this branch of the celebration
confined solely to our German fellow
citizens, as some in whose veins
courses only American blood, are
said to have imbibed deeply. We met
three BOOSTERS surrounding a lamp
post on the corner Of Main and Water
Streets. about 10 o'clock, discussing
the intrinsic nserits of buck beer. We
don't know that they had been try
ing it, but they we're talking of it.

Tuesday, yesterday was u of the
most beautiful andS pleasant of the
season. Not a cloud was to be seen
except one on Main Street. The air
was balmy and healthy, and nature
was arrayed in her most beautiful
robes. IL was just such a day as in

side a purling brook, surrounded by
gay flowers and beautiful damsels,
there to enjoy the delights of coatem-

RAILROAD MEETING.-A number
of citizens of Mt. Carmel, H.. visited
this city yesterday, and had a meeting
last nightat Mr.. Ingle's Office, to con-
suit with that gentleman and other
citizens of Evansville on the expedi-
ency of building a railroad from some
point on the Evansville and Craw-
lfordsville Railroad to Mt. Carmel.
The delegates from Mt. Carmel were
Messrs. Isaac Jaquess, Robt. Bell, NJ.
j. Habbcrton, Geo. Copp and VIM.
M. Harmon. These gentleman were
met by Mr.. Tngle. Jun, President and
Superintendent, John E. Martin, Sec
rotary and Treasury, and G. G. Gen
Jung, Paymaster and Engineer of the
Evansville and Charlottesville Rail-
road, Mayor Baker, John S. Hopkins,
Samuel Orr, and others of this, city.
A free conference was held on the
subject 1t is proposed to build the
road from Princeton or Patoka,
though Patoka, as the. diverging
point. is considered the most feasible.
The maximum distance from the lat
ter pointtto Mt. Carmelis estimated
at niue miles, and the estimated cost
is as follows:

all agreed that it was desirable to
build the road. aud that it would
prove Of great advantage both to the
]eity of Evansville and to Mt. Carmel
and the surrounding regions. If the
road is built to Mt. Carmel it is
thought practicable to extendgit to
ST. Louis through a populous and
fertile portion of Southern Illinois,
The great question was, "Where is
the money, to- come from?P Selling
bonds, all agree, is played out. The
best that Mt. Carmel could propose
to do, with the aid of Patoka, was to
raise sufficient money to prepare the
road-bed ready for the iron. This MIR.
Ingle and others thought rather too
little. 1t has generally been consid-
cred among railroad men that a com
munity that was not able to furnish
the means to bear one-half4 the ex-
pense of building a railroad would
not have sufficient business to sup
| port it when built. afH
There is no doubt but that this is
an important enterprise, and would
! greatly advance the interests of
Evansville, if built. The, Short Line
would draw. large supplies from sew
eral fertile counties surrounding
Wabash, which alone, though one of
the smallest and least populous in
that section. furnished last year the
following products: 100000 pounds
pork 200 tons hay. 100000 bushels

A GOOD LOVE STORY.

An Ohio paper tells the following novel
story: A young couple planned an elope-
ment, the girl descended from her room on
the traditional ladder, but at the gate they
were met by the father Of the girl and a
minister. by whom the young couple were
escorted to the parloF, where, to their sur
prise they found al their relatives collected
for the marriage ceremonies, which took
place at once. II was neat paternal freak
but not near as neat as that of fond pari-
cnt we know Of. He heard his daughter
and her fellow plan an elopement The next
day the old man waited upon the young one,
and addressed him thus:
ou re fine, brave youth, and | don {
object to you as a son-in-laW Here
hundred dollars TO aid in the elopement.
May you live haprily in the same house,
and may no accident occur to throw the
least shade On the sunshine of your life.
ALL request is, that yov elope with my
daughter-she's a mighty nice girl, you
know, but somehow her mother and / could
never travel smoothly with her, we don't
know her good points-elope with her to
such distance that she won't return to her
loving father and mother any more Good
bye, sonny, and may you be happy.
There was an elopement that evening Of
one. The young man was unaecompanied.
lie thought everything couldn't be right
when The old cock was so anxious to get rid
Of the girl. The father looks upon this act
as a very neat bit of strategy for one who
had never been on III Clellan's staff.

How VICTORIA REpRoVED FLIRTING
DAUGHTER. An anecdote Illustrating Vic
torias admirable good sense and strict
domestic discipline, is related by one who
witnessed the occurrence. One day, when
the Queen was present in her carriage at
the military review, the princess royal
then rather a wilful girl of about thirteen,
sitting on the front seat, seemed disposed to
be rather familiar and coquetish with some
young officers of the escort. Her Majesty
gave several reproving looks, without avail
"winked at her, but she wouldn't stay
wiuked." At length, in flirting her hand
kerchief over the side Of the carriage, she
dropped it too evidently not aoeidenly.
Instantly two or three young heroes sprung
from their saddles to return it to the fair
hand, but the awful voice of royalty stayed
them. stop gentlemen, exclaimed the
Queen. leave it just where it is Now,
my daughter, get down from the carriage
and nick up your handkerchief . There
was no help for it. The royal footman let
down the steps for the little royal lady, who
proceeded to lift from the dust the
pretty piece Of cambria and lace She
flushed a good deal, though she tossed
her head saucily, and she was doubtless
angry enough, but the mortifying lesson
nav leave nipped in the bud her first impulse
toward couuetry. 1t was hard, but it was

KISSING ALONG TIE LINE.


The Boston Post has brief osculating
article which, though neither very good nor
true: we copy because it is on popular
subject
The varied emotions excited by young
ladies 10 leading cities, along the line from
= 1ston to st. Louis, as kisses are caught or
stolen from their sweet lips, are expressed
in something like the following manner: A
Boston girl saws with assumption of indig-
nation - Sir, | declare such a liberty as
thai il beyond all bounds Of propriety and
ceDdemanly manners. l." she Is stopped
by another, which ism t resisted very badly.
The New York girl says" Indeed, MIR.
Brown, your conduct is a little familiar, II
not ardent. I've half mind to ask what
y,u take me for?' The reply of Brown is
that he takes her for something nice and
sweet, and sharp rapid smaeking ensues.
The Buffalo gill says, with marked positive
ness of manner, but which equally marked
insincerity-" Wretch, thief, put that right
hack. ! wouldn't lose it for the world. =
