RENL ESTArE.-The following will give some
idea Of the rise in real estate in the new railroad
towns. The Omaha Times states that GcOrge
Francis Tram has sold sixteen lots To the Railway
Bridge Company, for the purpose of IA bridge
across the Missouri, for $4,000, and has given
half the money TO the corporation of Omaha.
This land was bought bv Mr.. Train three years
since ut $3.50 AN acre, and is now sold, on APP
Urliscincut. at the rate Oi Sd, IJO an acre. Just
fifteen times it, original cost. lie still owns five
thousand lots rs good as those he has now dis
posed Of, winch, at $500 apiece, are worth the
clever sum of four millions of dollars. But if
they grow in value AZ much in the next three
years as they have grown in the last three, what
n rich man Train will be. even If this land were
ms only fortune, which it is nOt.-N. Y. sun.
The NUTRMENT OF BEER.-People who drink
their beer and ale are very fond of telling how
much nutrimcnt they derive from them. Because
they are manufactured from grain. many have
the idea that the concentrated virtues of the
grain are i'm the drinks. This Is an entire fallacv.
Prof. Licbig, one of the most eminent chemists
in the world, assures Us that l 400 quarts of the
best Bavarian beer contain exactly the nOurish-
ment of n two-and-a-half pound loaf of bread.
This beer is very similar TO the famous English
Allsopp's and our more popular American beer.
The fact Is, the nutritious portion of the grain is
rOttcd out before the beer can be made: and If
the fermentation of the beer has been complete.
Prof. Lyon Playfair declares that no nourishment
remains IN the fcrmcnted liquor; and,
rs the English Alliance News says. No chemist
disputes this assertion for, except to flavor
md amount of alcohol. the chemical composition
