Consumption of Beer In the United

1t is estimated by Colonel Given, OF
the Internal Revenue Bureau, that the
amount of beer consumed in each State
is equal to the amount produced, and a
table showing the number of glasses OF
fermented liquors consumed in each
State during the current year has been
prepared. From this it appears that in
New York and New Jersey the average
amount is 24S glasses for every man,
woman and child; in California it is 100

SPECIAL NOTICES.

The Universal Safeguard.-It is useless
for State Legislatures to pass laws for the pre-
servation Of the public health. If the great
law of self-preservation. which depends for
its enforcement upon the will of the individ-
ual. is suffered to remain dead letter.
There is scarcely an adult member Of the
community, of either sex. in the country, who
has not seen the testimony in favor of Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, furnished over their
own signatures by persons OF acknowledged
eminence in science. literature. art. COM
merce, and every department Of business and
professional life. These witnesses have de-
clared in the most explicit terms that the pre-
paration is a safeguard against epidemics. a
sovereign remedy for dyspepsia, valuable
ambitious medicine. promoter Of appetite.
a genial and harmless stimulant, good ac-
climating medicine. a strengthener Of the
nerves, a general inyigorant, a protection
against the deleterious effects Of malaria and
impure water. and that it imparts degree Of
yigor and activity to the vital forces which is
not communicated by any other Of the tonics
and stomachics in use. Under these eireum-
stances the self-preservative law of nature
should teach every rational person who, either
by reason Of inherent debility or in conse-
quence of exposure to unwholesome infu-
ences. is in peril of losing the greatest of all
temporal blessings. health. the importance Of
using the Bitters as a defensive medicine.
Dyspeptcs who neglect to give it trial are
simply their own enemies. 1t is guaranteed
to cure indigestion in all its forms. and the
bilious and nervous will find nothing 10 the
whole range of oficinal and proprietary medi-
cines which will afford them the same relief.

A Young Lady Who Has Caused Two
Suicides.

DR.. Curois Chapman, of Peekskill, who
committed suicide on Tuesday last, was
twenty-five years of age and member Of
the firm of Raymond & Chapman, drug
gists. At aboat 9 in the morning he pur-
chased, at another drug store, an ounce Of
prussc acid, and was not again seen alive.
On Thursday his body was found in the
woods north of the village. He had evil
IDENTIFY struggled considerably in his dying
moments, as his face was bruised, and he
lay with his face to the ground. The body
was removed to his fathers residence. In
his desk was found letter stating that
financial difficulties had caused him to
commit suicide, but it is supposed that
there were other causes. Early last
Spring he became acquainted with ayoung
lady from Brooklyn, who was visiting her
friends in Poughkeepsie. They were be-
trothed, and he visited her frequently up
to o short time previous to his death,
when the match was broken off. On the
oath of February last, Warren J. Smell,
of Newburgh, New York, young man
prominent in Masonic, military and musi-
cal circles, committed suicide in the Bing-
ham House, Philadelphia, by shooting
himself through the heart. He was also
engaged to the same young lady, and was
renounccd by her few months previous
to his death. DIR. Chapman was of tenn
perate habits and good business abilities,
and moved in the best Society.-N. Y.

A Voice From The Hermitage.

Notification was South CarOlina's mode
Of protest against high protective tariff,
and was met by the compromise bill of
Henry Clay, the object of introducing
which he candidly stated was "to bring
down the rate of duties to that revenue
standard for which our opponents have SO
long contondcd." 1t was trying ordeal
to Harry Of the West. The Legislatures
of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania had passed
resolutions protesting against disturbance
of the tariff. 1t was on this occasion that
Clay is reported to have exclaimed 81
would rather be right than be President"
The Ort-quoted words of Gen. Jackson,
"The Union, it must be preserved" may
be interpreted as readily against the stub
born protcctionists of the North as against
the rebellious free traders of the South.
His views of our Federal system, its me-
chanism and its dangers, are thus given in
his Farewell Address to the people of the
United States:
at is we'll known that there have al
ways been among us those who wish to
enlarge the powers of the General Gov.
'ernnent; and experience would seem to
indicate that there is tendency on the
part Of this Government to Overstep the
boundaries marked out for it by the Con-,
stitution. Its legitimate authority is abb
solutely sufficient for all the purposes for
which it was created and its powers being
expressly enumerated, there can be no
justification for claiming anything beyond
them. Every attempt to exercise power
beyond these limits should be promptly
and firmly opposed. For one evil exam
pie will lead to other measures still more
mischievous; and if the principle of con-
structivc powers, or supposed advantages,
or temporary circumstances, shall ever be
permitted to justify the assumption of a
power not given by the Constitution, the
General Government will, before long,
absorb all the powers of legislation, and
you will have in effect but one consoli-
dated Government. From the extent of
our country, its diversified interests, diff
ferent pursuits and different habits, it is
too obvious for argument that single
consolidated Government would be wholly
inadequate to watch over and protect its
interests and every friend of our free in-
stitutions should be always prepared to
maintain unimpaired and in full vigor the
rights and sovereignty of the States, and
to confne the action of the General Gov
crnment strictly to the sphere of its ap-
propriate duties"
How wise, patriotic and sadly prophet
ic these views appear in the light of cur
rent events, and what rebuke they are
from the grave of one who loved the
Union well to the loyalists of our day.

on to q very large and valuable planta-
ton which has been purchased by Ben,

making $500 bales in all, if it is good

Wives Wanted.
A Cry from CalifOrnia-The Kind Of
Women the State Needs.
Correspondence New York Tribune.

Correspondence New York Tribune.
SAN FRANclsco, April rs.
California has abundant gold, but,
save i'll her cities, no women. Any one
acquainted with the mining districts
will bear testimony to this. In those
forlorn, money digging fields, men live
in painfully primitive fashion, cooking,
mending and doing generally those lit
tic domestic affairs which, when not
done by women, might ns well be left
undone. There, cooking is horrible, and
productive of more dyspoptic horrors
than all the medicine and doctors in
christendom could cure while the Sab
bath is generally profaned, and all or
nearly all, aesthetic and refining infu-
ences of civilized life are wanting. Cali
fOrnia is now in immediate cOmmunica-
ton with the outside world, and her
material resources are well developed,
considering her small population but
the excess of males is still painfully ap-
parent. One of the greatest wants Of
the State, to-day, is more women not
city misses, with delicate hands, who
are strangers to the kitchen, and who
shine only in the theatre or ball room,
but honest, industrious American girls,
such as are to be found acting as wait
ers in hotels in Iowa and Illinois, or
working in the factories of the New En-
gland States.
A good American girl Of this class,
who is passably skillful in housework,
can obtain situation through the State
Labor Exchange, in San Francisco, with
in 48 hours of her arrival, even in such
dull times as we are now passing through.
The wages range from $40 to $50 in
gold per month, and if the girl goes into
the country to hotel Or private fam
lily, she can get $35 to $40. Even the
most worthless of Irish servants earn
$40 per month in the tity, and the Chi
nese from $25 to $780, Any American
girl can get place in the city but her
expenses will be smaller and her chances

country. Marriage is one of the in
ducements which we hold out to this
class Of girls. If they accept situation
in the country, and are only passably
good-looking, they may reckon on being
able to secure well-to-do husbands in q
year or two at the furthest. Girls trav-
cling alone to the Pacific coast must be
careful on the journey to receive no fa-
vors of any kind whatever from stran-
ger, male or female, but especially the
former. In three cases out Of four the
casual acquaintance thus made are un-
desirable, to use no stronger term. Once
here they are as safe alone as they would
be in any of the Eastern States. But
they must show themselves worthy OF
respect by maintaining a proper woman
ly reserve. In all my experience on this
coast, on the steamers via the Isthmus,
and on the transcontinental trip which
1 have made twice, / have never seen
any attempt to break down this barrier.
