The LiuuOr Trade.

The organ of the liquor interest in
York has taken pains to collect and
all the facts connected with the
trade in this country. The amount of
tax on spirits collected by the United
States in 1872 was $49, 475, BIG. 36. This
represents about 100, 600, 900 gallons,
worth at wholesale SS5. 900, 600, butwhich
brought at retail about 1917, 600, 900.
This aggregates a money interest of
800, 600, 600. The beer trade pays a
tax to the Government of IS, 573, 49S, 46.
This represents a retail value of over
1912, 600, 000, which, added to the value
of the article to the manufacturers,
represents a money interest of about
$500, 900, 900. The wine trade repre-
sents an interest of $75, 0O0, 900. The
import trade of liquors, beer and wine
represents a retail value of liquors OF
S27, 600, 900 of beer, 81, 500, 900; OF
wines, S135, 600, 600 or a total of nearly
$165, 200, 900. Added to all this, the
capital invested in building and ma
chinery, ETC., together with the expenses
connected directly with the trade, the
footing is at least 81, 500, 900, 000.-

The Chicago Jubilee

On the 5th and 9th of June will doubtless
surpass any musical exhibition ever seen in
this country. Several things combine to make
this celebration a marked event, such as will
not be likely to occur again in a lifetime.
1. The New Chicago, rebuilt in an incredibly
short time, in far greater splendor than any
American city, is a marvel worthy of CON-
memOratien by a monster jubilee whose re-
joicing echoes shall reach the farthest limits
of civilization. And thousands will improve
the occasion to enjoy the two-fold privilege of
feasting their eyes with the wonders of archi-
~tectural art, and their ears with the concord of
sweet sounds.
2. The mammoth Depot of the Michigan
Southern and Rock Island railroads.&c. feet
long and of proportionate width-justcompleted
and to be fitted up and decorated for the occa-
sion, is admirably adapted for a musical coli
scum, and will amply accommodate 10000
persons.
3. Al immense orchestra and chorus, now
in training, embracing the leading musical tai
ent of the country, will be led by P.S. Gilmore,
of Boston, whose fame as a leader of monster
concerts is unrivaled.
4. All the railroads entering Chicago will run
excursion trains at lower rates than ever be-
fore offered. which will enable those of limited
means, within the radius of hundreds of miles,
to witness the triumphs of industrial art, and
enjoy a musical festival without a parallel in
our National history.
The Governors of the Northwestern States
will be received and shown the hospitalitles
and attractions of the New Chicago on
Wednesday. On Thursday, June 9Th, the
grand concerts will begin with a musical pro-
gramme worthy the occasion, and the festivi-
ties will close IN a grand ball at the Chamber
of Commerce on Friday evening, to which
1000 guests will be invited.
Chicago in flames was the worlds wonder
Her sudden and glorious rebuilding is a fan
greater marvel. In the coming musical cele-
bration, planned on so magnificent a scale, and
conducted by so able, energetic and successful
managers, we doubt not she will still maintain
her proud pre-eminence.-Chicdg Ledger.

Noah as a Reader of the Bible.

Save in the case of the very young,
however, the schools have made but
little impression upon the ignorance in
which the colored race have been reared.
Their worship in their churches gives
evidence OF this. A lady, the other day,
a V meanaccount Of a sermon which she
heard net long since in st. Augustine,
as an example of their mode of embel-
fishing Scripture history. The preacher
had dwelt awhile on the fall of man, and
came into the world, and had got as far
as the time of Noah. He then said
ode world got to be berry wicked /; de
people all bad, and de Lord make up his
mind to drown dem. But Noah was a
good man, who read his Bible, and did
JUS as the Lord tole hims. And the
Lord tole Noah to build a big ark, big
enough to hole part of every ting alive
on the earth. And Noah built it. And
the Lord call upon every living ting to
come into de ark and be saved. And de
birds come flynn to de ark, and de big
lion and de COW and de possum come in,
and de horse come trotting to de ark
and de lettle worms come creepin' in
but only de wicked sinner wouldn't come
in, and dey laugh at Noah and his big
ark. And de rain come down in big
spouts, and come up to de doo'-step OF
the houses and gin to cober de foo, and
den de sinner be %scaret, and knock at de
doc OBJ de ark berry hard. And de big
hon hear de racket and roar, and de dog
bark, and de OK below, but Noah keer
on reading de Bible. And de sinner say,
Noah, Noah, let us come in And
Noah say, 1 berry sorry, but I can't let
you in, for de Lord hab lock de doc
and trow away de key.'"-Er. from Cor.
Of New York EUening Post.

A Tall Column.

The papers say that a Philadelphia
manufacturer is preparing a plan for a
column 1000 feet high, to be construct
ed entirely of iron, in open work, from
the summit of which the grounds of the
Centennial Exposition are to be illu-
minated by means of a Drummond light :
and in true Yankee style, it is boosted
that it will be the loftiest structure in
the world. But it will not necessarily
be the most beautiful, which is better
worth trying for. The tsllest thing of
the kind now in existence is the open
work central spire of the cathedral at
Rouen, in France, erected a few years
ago to replace the one destroyed by
lightning in 1922, and nothing ugher
was eve thrust in the face of heaven.
The builders were determined to make
it a few feet higher than the celebrated
spire of Strasbourg Cathedral, but their
work is as hideous as that of the me-
dieval architect is stately and magnif-
cent. Probably the next highest works
Of mans hands are two chimneys of
chemical works in Glasgow, one of
which is 46S, and the other $50 feet
high. These have no architectural pre-
tensions, of course, but they are quite
as fine in their way as Bunker Hill mon
ument, which, from q little distance,
looks like a stone chimney among the
surrounding brick one of manufacture
ing establishments.
