BEER !

DCEh
HNHE Commissioners of Agriculture in his report
Il for the year 1865 speaks as follows:
There can be no doubt of the general adulte-
ration OF all malt liquors. In England and other
countries, where heavy penalties are imposed and
an increasing vigilance practiced to detect and
punish such frauds, by system of inspection of
all matt liquors manufactured before exposed to
sale, the practice is very common How much
more in this country, where there are no laws on
the subject and no officer to carefully analyze the
products = OF the brewery, Some years ago, Pro-
lessor Mapes, OF New York, analyzed tho beer
from dozen different brewerlesy and all were
found adulterated with noxous substances tits
sad that the sale of drugs to brewers is profit
Coccnlus indicus, fish. berry } nux vomica. dog
button, from which strychnine is obtained, are
some of the delectabe substances found in beer!
These a. are potent poisons, and the brewer found
using them shoald be drowned at once in one OF
his own watts. The British Parliament passed q
law to prevent this ncfarious business. The fol-
lowing ls an extract: NO druggist, vendor of or
dealer III drugs, or chemist, or any other person.
shall sell or deliver to any licensed brewer dealer
In or retailer OF beer, knowing them to be such,
Of or il, trust for any such brewer dealer or re-
taier, any liquor called by the name of or sold for
coloring, from whatever material tho same NAV
be made any material or preparation other
color OF worts or beer, any molasses vitriol
honey; quassa, cooculus indicus, grains of para
disc. Guinea pepper, or opium. or any extract or
preparation of moasses, or any article or prepa-
ration to be used in wOrts or beer for or as sub
stltute for malt or hops and if any druggist shall
offend in any OF these PARTICULARS such prepara-
tion 30, shall be forfeited, and may be seized by
any officer OF excise and the person 80 offending
shall forfeit fue hundred pounds
Under this law, very many druggists and brew
ers were brought TO grief, and yet the practice
continues: Unless the American public are ready
to admit tho immaculate purity aid innocence Of
drinking their beer, to cherish the belief that they
are at the time guZzling some narcotic poi
son or damaging medicine In view OF the uppre-
cedented growth Of the barley crop; of the greet
increase OF the number Of maltsters and brewers;
OF the vast unknown quantities of beer tha at are
drunk in every city and almost every towr on the
the attention Of legislators should be called to
thesubject of the adulteraton OF our malt liquors
ard severe penalties should be inflicted as pre-.

~ INCORPORATED 1854
Has been In operation but four years. during
which time it has assured larger amount than
any Company in the United States, during a cor
responding period of existence. Ono of the chief
causes of its organization, was the forfeiture by
several Northern Companies of the policies Of
Southerners, during the war. The leading officers
OF this Company protested against this injustice,
and on its contamination, withdrew and orga-
nized the 'GLOBE MUTUAL" on principles more
liberal and Just than those yet adopted by any
in battle or in duel, tho equitable value of the
policy will be returned to the heirs. ALL other
Companies forfeit it. In case of suicide, the
EULL Policy is paid. No restriction on travel

$500, coo. an element of strength possessed by no
other Company. It offers tho entirely new feature
OF Probability Endowment, which gives the
largest possible sum for the premium paid No

'nvites comparison with any other Company.

Easy Lessons in Geography.

We have several reasons for writ
ing upon the earth, tho principal ono
being tho imperfect facilities afforded
for getting upon any other planet to
write, Nothing prevents our writing
upon tho sun or the moon except tho
difficulty Of getting there.
1t is estimated that about two.
thirds of the surface Of the globe is
covered with water. Although mill
lions Of living creatures slakc their
thirst daily, the quantity Of water has
not materially diminished for Gems
turios past, at least not since tho in
PRODUCTION of whiskey shops, which
provo great saving Of water, and
arc therefore Of immense benefit to
navigation. The greatest distance
from the earth to the sun is 96,000,.
600 miles. A saving of 1000, 900
could be Effected If a railroad should
ever connect the two by taking the
least distance. This would shorten
the time consumed in running, and
reduced tho expense very materially.
The earth turns upon its axis, ma
king one revolution every twenty
four hours, except in Mexico-thore
they have revolution two or three
times day.
1t ain't every fool Of a planet that
can get around the sun. Tho earth
does it, however. She would get
round most anything, The earth is
not such dismal place to live up
on as many try to make it out. So
far as our knowledge extends-and
VIC probably know as much about it
as anybody--it is far preferable to
any of her sister planets as a porma-
uent residence, At least, we are sat b.
isaod with it, and intend to remain
here as long as we are "on earth"

The Chinese.

Mr.. Caleb Cushing, who is, per-
haps, the best living authority in
this country on Chinese affairs, tells
us that China contains single pro-
rinceS, each ofwhich---in population,
wealth civilization, education, and
all else that gives power to a State
is superior to England, France,
Prussia, or any other Of the first
class powers of Europe that the
Empire has 500,000,000 inhabitants,
more than all Europe combined I;
that this incononcelvably vast pop
ulation is governed by the brightest
and strongest intellects of the land,
upon system which was old thous-
ands of years before the oldest gov.
ernments of Europe began to ex-
ist; that, having thrown of the feu-
dal system about the time it was fas-
toned upon Europe, they are gov
erned, not by privileged or here
ditary class, as is England, nor by
the leaders Of the successful politi-
cal party, as isths Republic, but by
a system based exclusively on liter
dry merit, in which, after a series of
exhaustive literary competitive eX-
aminations, the most learned are APP
pointed to govern those only less
learned than themselves, who, in
their turn, govern the class next be-
low, and so on down to the least
learned of all; that education is un-
iversol, even more generally dilfu-
sed than with us, there being abso-
lutely no class of the people who
cannot read and write; that the great
body of the Chinese are intelligent,
Industrious, apt to learn anything
and everything, frugal, pre>eminent-
ly patriotic, and more profoundly
and strongly attached, perhaps, than
the people of any other nation in
the world to their own laws and in
stitutons; that China was great
nation ages before what we call the
ancient nations of Greece and Rome
had been founded, and has remained
a great nation, while its earlier
contemporaries, Egypt and Assyria,
arc only known imperfectly in the
most ancient of the earliest records
of our race; and that, at this day,
the most enterprising merchants and
wcoltlliest men in the world are to
be found, not in New York or Lon
don, or in any European city, but
in the seaports and great cities Of
China.
