ORIGIN OF LAGER BEER.-The German
words Lager Beer, signify stock beer-i.
g., beer that has been slowed away.
The story, as told in Germany, is an old
one, and runs thus: Many years ago. u
shoemaker near hamburg, sent his ap-
prentice to get q bottle of hamburg
beer. which was sold at that place; but
the boy not knowing this, went to the
city itself. On returning he met an &C.
quaintance who told him that when he
would come home his boss would whip
him for staying SO long. The poor boy
who was frightened at this, thought it
better not to go home at all, but took
his bottle, buried it under tree and
ran away. He went among the soldiers,
where he distinguished himself so that
in o short time he became an officer.
When one day his regiment was quar-
tered in this little town, the officer
thought it proper to pay a visit to his
old boss, but not before he had got the
bottle of beer which he had buried some
years before under the tree. When he
entered he said, g. Well, sir. here bring
you your bottle of Bamburg beer which
you sent me for" The shoemaker not
knowing what this meant. was told by
the officer all about IL. Ths bottle was
opened, and tho beer was found to be Of

DARK RooXs--SUNsuIxE.- Windows
were originally intended to let in light

ever, from the mansions of the wealthy
to the cabins of the very poor. vie with
each other in shutting out the blessed
sunshine and pure air. Windows are
studiously curtained, double, dark, and
very generally closed. Let the shades
run up easily on rollers attached to the
sash, and the sash always dropped an
inch or two.

composes and scatters, in connection
with pure air, these death seeds. When

The Boston Recorder Is as clear, direct and
candid in its Views and expressions in mat
tcrs political asd general, as almost any Of its
secular coeemporaries AS evidence Of tlsss,
We cory the following condensed, nutshell
view OF the character and powers OF HORACE
GREELEY, and the .soundness or unsoundncss
of the course of the Cincinnati Convention in
presenting him as candidate for the presi.
dencY.
In common with the rest Of the world
VIC looked OF with interest TO see tie re-
suits of the Cincinnati Convention. And
we must join entirely with the greater
part Of the unlocking world in pronoun-
cling those results to be as odd as they
were Ito the most Of usl unexpected.
As chief of tho New York Tribune,
Horace Greeley is perhaps the first jour
nalist of the country, and no tribute
shall be hearticr than ours to his personal
integrity and professional ability, but he
is one of the last mcn whom we should
desire TO see elevated TO the Presidential
chair. Mr.. Greeley lacks qualities which
are absolutely essential in that office he
has others which would inevitably make
hliCtulCi III ~, duQ IL Jlc Dtbptt Ol tbC
United States are as wise as we think
they are, he will be allowed to remain at
the post he has so long and so honorably
occupied. Had the Cincinnati Convention
nominated TO the first Office in the gift of
the Republic, Charles Francis Adams or
Lyman Trunibull, it would have created
an autagonsm which existing parties
might have found it hard to overcome.
AS it is, its work in this respect can
hardly prove otherwise than failure.
We do not deny that Mr.. Greeley has a
certain strength in influential quarters,
as at the South for instance, (by reason
of his bailing of JEFF, Davis, and general
clemency 10 the rebel cause), and with
the farmers of the West, but we shall be
very much mistaken If the Judgment OF
the majority Of people approves of his
selection. 1t looks very much as if the
new party Of reform, initiated at Cincin.
natl, has committed suicide a. The outset.

THASKs.-There is one thing for which the
journalistic quarle,te that undertook 40 run
the Cincinnati Convention, should receive the
hearty thanks of the country. No one Of then
has hesitated 10 turn that convention inside
out The public, therefore, has had the advan
tagc of that knowledge, for, SO far as those pa
pers are concerned, they have a plain unvar
nished tale uniolded of the honest and dis
honest workings Of that memorable body And
inasmuch as the plans and purposes Of those
papers were completely discounted, it shows u
most commcndable fcarcssness and fairness in
them to tell the whole story, even IN such por.
tions as are told at their own expense.

RETrRED.-DE GREELEY has issued n card
announcing his retirement from the Tribune,
tripod, and from oil control or supervision of
its columns. The card also announces that
the Tribune has ceased TO be party organ.
This Is, we apprehend, the beginning of the
end with Greeley. His position in the world
Is identified with the Tribune. Without him
1t could not have been, or can 1t now be, the
Tribune, and Greeley without the Tribune, can
hardly be said To be Greeley. The Tribune,
