Peace Jubilee.

The great Peace Jubilee at Bosom last week
is announced to have been grand success
Over 100000 strangers are computed to have
visited Boston to witness the show. The
grand Coliseum, erected for the occasion, and
which held $4,000 people, was filed each day
at a cost of from 81 to $25 for each seat. All
the great singers of the day took part in the
concerts-Parepa, Phillips, &c. Ole Bull led
the orchestra A band of over 800 instru.
ments made the heavy music, with artillery
for basso. The chorus consisted of 5000 Sc
lect singers.
Among the melancholy attendants of the
affair was the instant death, in the midst OF
one Of the grand concerts of Mrs. George L.
Dunlap, Of Chicago, it is supposed OF heart
disease. She was, but moment before her
death, in apparent perfect health, listening
with ravished attention to Parcpas solo, "Let
the bright Seraphim," and passed from life
instantly, before the song had closed.

Prize FightiuG.

A big prize fight, between the eminent bruisel
Mike McCoole, and an English bruiser named
Tom Allen, came off on Fosters island, 20 miles
below st. Louis, on the 18th inst. The fgh'
lasted but 20 minutes, at the end of which the
giant McCoole had been thoroughly whipped by
the wirey little Englishmsn, of about half hi
weight. As, however, McCoole had ten friends
on the ground to Aliens one, it by no means fol
lowed, because Allen had easily whipped hi.
adversary, that he had won the battle or the
prize money. Seaing McCools was certain to be
whipped, his friends during the last round cut
the ropes and rushed into the ring to rescue their
fallen hero, and then went with bowie knives
and pistols at the referee, and compelled him to
give his decision in favor of NcCoole, on the pre-.
tense that, in the last round, Allen had played
'foul"-in other words, had stuck his thumb
into McCool's eye, both Of which he had pre-
viously closed with his fist. The decision of the
referee, however, has not secured TO McCoole the
prize money. as the stake holder refuses to give
it up, and it is probable there will be another
fight between the principals, or, If not between
them, good many fights between others, before
the matter is settled.
On the same day, another prize fight took
place on the banks of Cayuga lake, New York,
between two bruisers named Donnelly and Nc
Guire. The fight proceeded in tho usual way up
to the ninth and last round, Of which the &C.
count is as follows: AT the beginning of the
ninth round, Donnelly, who had been consider.
~ IL u
After some fbbing, he struck Mcclure power
full blow on the left temple. Mcclure dropped
to the ground like bar of lead, gasping twice,
and died. Donnelly gazed at the corpse with
bloody eyes, and cried: my God, I've killed
him. Oh, Jimmy, speak to me-" His friends
urged him to fly. He has not since been seen,
and it is said that he is now in Canada"

A QUERY!-Two years ago, Culver, Page &
Hoyne, and one or two other stationery firms
in Chicago, got bill struggled through the
Legislature in their interest, authorizing cir.
cult clerks and recorders to buy of them print
ed blank deeds for gratuitous distribution,
and printed record books corresponding with
the deeds. The books thus printed save nine
tenths Of the work Of recording deeds and
other legal papers. The law, however, pro-
vides that the clerks shall not charge the pub
lie n second time for work thus saved them at
the public expense. The query that suggests
itself is, do our clerks now only charge for the
writing they actually do in recording deeds,
Judgments, &C., or do they take pay for the
whole No. of words, printed or not printed ?

The Water Power Question Settled.

It was stated in our columns some six weeks
ago, that Col. w. II. w. Cushman had offered
for bonus from the city of 10000 in cash, O,
$4,000 in bonds, to undertake to improve the
water power at this place by the construction o,
the proposed dam, races, &c. Four weeks ACC
q meeting of our prominent citizens was held al
the Clifton Hotel, at which, on this offer OF Col
Cushman being authoritatively laid before them,
1t was voted unan imously to accept it, and a
committee of leading citizens was appointed to
correspond with Mr.. Cushman, who was then
absent in Massachusetts, on the subject. A re.
ply was received by this committee from Mr.
Cushman on Monday, in which he reiterates his
offer, without if and, and expresses his readi-
ness to commence the work as soon as the city
shall have issued the stipulated amount of bonds
in his favor. A proposition was therefore
brought before the city council on Tuesday eve.
ming to pass An ordinance at once to issue the
$4,000 bonds. The council passed the ordi.
nance promptly and unanimously; but as no
bonds can be issued by order of the council ex.
except on an approving vote of the people, the
ordinance of course must be submitted to a vote
before it can be effective. The earliest dav at
which such an election can be held, under the
registry law, is the Goth of next month, and the
matter therefore STANDS adjourned to that date.
AS, however, no one has doubt az to how the
people of Ottawa will vote on the question, the
matter that Mr.. Cushman will improve the
water power is regarded as settled, and Mr.. C.
II. Force has gone to New York en- business con.
nected with the negotiations.
We look upon this as the biggest step for
ward Ottawa has yet taken. Freeing the Fox
River bridge, in the spring, was a good step in
the right direction; taking the initia.ory steps
for freeing the Illinois river bridge was another
good step; securing the commencement of work
on the Fox River ValleyR r., with the certain.
ty of it's completion to Streator before fall, is
another big step forward but the Improvement
OF our water power is the contamination of our
hopes. There is nothing now in the way of
Ottawa becoming the great manufacturing cen.
tire OF of Illinois. No other point in the State
presents water power to compare with that to
be created at Ottawa. A low estimate places it,
with what we have already, at about G,OOO horse
power, in the dryest season. 1t is power CAPS.
BILE OF driving the machinery of manufacture
ing population of 10000, population it is not
extravagent to estimate Ottawa may attain in
the next decade.

Whiskey W. Beer.

At the late Brewers Congress in New York, a
paper was read by Mr.. Kastsenmair, tho Secre-
tary of the National Brewers Association, from
which we cut the following remarkable state
ment:
"The influence of malt drinks on nation has
showed itself particularly in Great Britain. The
Anglo Saxons introduced their malt beverages
into England, and thereby made that country
what it now is; enabling its inhabitants to pro-
pagate this civilization also in Amermca. As
long as the Anglo Saxon blood rolled through
their veins, health and wealth blessed their pro-
geny. But, during the extension of Puritanism
IN the last century, a great change manifested
itself Statistics have shown that the attempt to
force total abstinence upon the population of
New England resulted in the opposite extreme,
namely: in the secret use of strong and intoxi-
eating liquors, in consequence Of which New Eng
land became depopulated and the physical and
moral health of it, inhabitants ruined"
We could appreciate this better if it could be
shown that in Germany, there was like type of
Anglo Saxon mind. with that in England and
America. If oeer-drinking and tabacco smok-
ing put energy of purpose, invention, enterprise
and perseverance, into boys on the continent, as
water drinking did in the carly days of New
England, that would be good argument for the
beer barrel We take it that country where
multitudes of women are field and garden labor.
ers, will have good supply of home production
in the way of children, whether the drink be malt
liquor or distilled, or neither. "Every tub ON
its own bottom" If Q man drinks beer and
means to do it, let him speak right out and say,
it is because che likes it" and thinks it is good
and not make himself ridiculous by philosophi-
zing. We are for malt in preference to distilled
liquors; but. in our judgment, the grain and the
money could be better employed in other ways.
There is that in our climate, our type of hu.
man nature, our social customs, our national
temperament, which makes the use of strong
drinks dangerous. The very freedom we enjoy
makes the drunkard greater nuisance here,
than under the stricter Dolce systems of other
lands. The tendency of excessive beer drinking,
while certainly less to be dreaded than of strong
or drinks, is still toward the grosser sensuous
life, rather than the more refined, the more ex-
quisitely happy. 1t does not contribute, in our
way of thinking, to moral health; and it is not
necessary to physical. What Mr.. Kaetzenmair
says may be true as to the more pernieous results
OF the secret use of strong liquors, but he proves
nothing as to the happy results of beer drinking.
