The Beer Riots at Frankfort.

Of the beer riots at Frankfort, al
ready noticed by the cable dispatches,
the correspondent of the London Times
writes: "Tbe beer riots at Frankfort
are very serious. The brewers having
slightly raised the price of beer, the
mob availed themselves of a market
day, when thousands of laborers from
the neighborhood visited the town, to
attack and demolish the principal beer
houses, taverns, and breweries. The
police ct first hesitated to interfere,
but, upon some Socialists displaying
a red flag, they thought it high time to
assert the majesty of the law, and made
an effort to withstand the rioters in the
more exposed localities. They were
beaten off by the mob, who, encouraged
by success, received the military, now
summoned to the spot, with shower Of
bricks. When few blank cartridges
fired to warn off the rioters had proved
Intellectual, the officers in command at
last resorted to more stringent means,
and, of course, easily succeeded in
quelling the riot. The loss of life is
very great. There are thirty-seven killed
and about 100 wounded. With the ex-
ception of few, where the rioters were
received with scalding beer and steam
before the military arrived, all the lead
ing breweries of the town were invaded
by the mob. No doubt there has been
mismanagement on the part of the au-
thorities, or the riot could never have
assumed such vast proportions. The
police, consisting chiefly of Frankfort
ers, probably acted with the leniency
usually displayed by South German au-
thorities on such occasions, while the
military, con handed, I dare say, by
North German officers, or, at any rate,
bound to adhere to the injunctions of
the Prussian military code, as soon as
they begun operations gave the rioters
a taste of the stricter discipline and
sterner habits of the German North.
1t was the first riot at Frankfort since
the late remodeling of all things in Ger
many"

Manifest Absurdities.

Is there any good reason why the dictates OF
common sense should be disregarded in medical
practleep Surely not. Yet how literally they are
sometimes set at naught In the treatment Of dys-
pepsia, liver complaint, constipation, nervous
prostration and general debility. How often are
powerful purgatives, emetics, and salivants given
In cases OF indigestion bilious collie and costtve-
ness, when the disease has already robbed the
patient Of strength he necdsto combat with the
attack. The absurdity ofgiving de biitating medi'
cines TO sick people who are tso weak already, Is
so manifest, that it is astonishing how any sane
man can believe in such practice. The rational
course under such circumstances is to admisttr
a tonic and regulating medicine, and the expert
ence Of a quarter OF q century has proved that
Eostcttcr,s Stomach Bitters is the mos. wholesome
and efficient preparation Of this class to be found
In the medical repository. 1t is, however, some-
thing more than an invigorant and regulator.
Its properties as an apcrient and antfb bilious
agent; it's utility when given as ali anodyne, In
stead OF laudanum or chlora or digitalis, or some
other supplying nacrotic; iti trsrquihzing ten
dency In spasmodic Affection and its palatability
as contrasted with the sickening pills and po'ions
OF the pharmacopuia, certainly entitle Hostetters
Bitters to be called the most comprehensive
remedy in existence.

The Heidelberg Duelling Corps.

The Constatt Observer says YAH
visitors to Heidelberg must feel more or
less interest in the famous duelling
corps existing there. These corps date
their origin almost as far back as the
foundations of the Universities of the
Elector Rupert l., in the year 1886.
They were at first composed of all the
best and noblest among the students
now, however, they no longer hold the
rank they once did, but are looked on,
even by some of their members, as nec-
essary evils, on the keeping up of which
the general honor of Heidelberg in some
remote way depends. Many strange
customs are prevalent emons the mem
bers, not the least curious of which is
the way the funeral rites of any of their
number ut the University are celebra-
ted. The funeral takes place at night
by the light of torches. The coffin, on
which is placed the cap and swords of
the deceased, is drawn on low bier by
four horses. Immediately after the
body walk the members of the corps to
which the deceased belonged, bearing
torches, and followed by representa-

reaching the burial ground, which is
situated ut short distance from the
town, a schorale is sung by the whole
company, but no sooner is the coffin
lowered into the grave, than the hymn
is changed into one of the noisy drink
ing songs in which these students excel.
Without any religious ceremony the
grave is closed, and the cortege marches
back to the town, where they again halt
on the Universitats-Platz, and form
into large circle. Two of the best
swordsmen then go through the sword
exercise, after which, with aloud shout,
all the torches are thrown high in the
air, so that they fall together in a burn
ing pile in the centre of the circle. The
ceremony thus brought to close, the
corps retire to their respective places of
rendezvous, in one of the numerous tav-
erns in the town, and the rest of the
night is passed in carousing and merry
making"

How "Greenback" Paper Is Made.

All the paper for the money issuefby
the Government is manufactured at the
Glen Mills, near West Chester, Pa.
Short pieces of red silk are mixed with
the pulp in the engine, and the finished
stuff is conducted to the wire without
passing through any screens, which
might retain the silk threads. by an
arrangement above the wire cloth, a
shower of short pieces of fine blue silk
thread is dropped in streaks upon the
paper while it is being formed. The
upper side, on which the blue silk is
dropped, is the one used for the face of
the notes, and, from the manner in
which the threads are applied, must
show them more distinctly than the
lower or reverse side, although they are
embedded deeply enough to remain
fixed. The mill is guarded by officials
night and day to prevent the abstraction
of any paper.

A Motley Preacher.

A Virginia paper reports that durlng
the exhibition oil q travelling menagerle
and circus In d town OF that state,
where there was, at the time, some re-
lioious convocation in session, the paint
ed lester of the equestrian ring lllustra-
ted his own serious capacity and greatly
affected an audience, in which many
church members were present, by de-
liyering the following homily:
MY FRIENDS: We have taken IN Six
hundred dollars here to-day; more mon
ey, I venture to say, than any minister
OF the gospel in this community woula
receive for whole years services. A
large portion of this money was given
by church members, and large portion
OF this audience is made up OF members
of the church. And yet, when your
preacher asks you to aid in supporting
the gospel, you are too poor to give any
thing. Yet you come here and pay dol
lars to hear me talk nonsense. l am
fool because am paid for it I make
INV living by it. You profess to be
wise, and yet you support me In my
folly. But perhaps you say you did
not come to see the circus, but animals

place for Christians to be in? DO Xor

The sensation following a speech like
this, in such a place, from such q speak
er. may be imagined. The local clergy
ayailed themselves of the spirit thus
produced and a religious revival wa'
attempted.

A Beautiful Experiment on Sound.

The following beautiful experiment,
described by Professor Tyndall, shows
how music may be transmitted by an
ordinary wooden rod. In room two
floors beneath his lecture room there
was a piano upon which an artist was
playing, but the audience could not
hear it. A rod Of deal, with its lower
end resting upon the sounding-board OF
the piano, extended upward through
the two floors, its upper end being ex-
posed before the lecture-table. But still
no sound was heard. A violin was then
placed upon the end of the rod, which
was thrown into resonance by the as
cending thrills, and instantly the music
of the piano was given out in the lee
ture room. A guitar and harp were
substituted for the violin, and with the
same result. The vibrations of the
piano-strings were communicated tothe
sounding-board, they traversed the long
rod, were reproduced by the resonant
bodies above, the air was carved into
waves, and the whole musical compost
ton was delivered to the listening
audience.

Saratoga Battle Monument.

There seems now to be probability
that the Battle of Saltwater and the
surrender of Burgoyne will be duly
honored in monument. In 1859 the
Legislature Incorporated, undera "per-
petual charter" the Saratoga Monu-
ment Association" with a Board of
fourteen Permanent Trustees as Direc-
tors. Somechanges in the management
have been caused by death, and the 9th
er day the charter was amended in the
Legislature, and DR.. G. H. Payne, OF
Schuylerville, and VIM. L. Stone, OF
New York city, were named as new
Trustees. Mr.. Stone, by his memoirs
of General Riedesel and Madame
Riedesel, made himself familiar with
the entire campaign eliminating at Still
water, and the appointment is a fitting
compliment to Mr.. Stones researches
in connection with the location and III
cidents of the battle-ground of Sara
toga. The ground for the monument
will at once be purchased, and subscrip-
tions are solicited.

Funeral Rites,

A writer in the Christian Union
urges various reforms in funeral rites,
and pronounces funeral professions ga
positive evil and disservice." i" He says:
There should be nothing of the sort.
After funeral service at the house, the
friends and acquaintances should 60
away, all but the nearest, and then, or
still better, the next morning, the body
should be entrusted to the tender care
of some three or four tried and trusted
friends, not members of the family,
and these should bear it to its final
resting-place. A parents heart, hus-
bands, wife's, or child's, never ought
to be subjected to the fearful tax of
seeing their precious dead lowered into
the grave by alien and untender hands,
and hearing the dreadful thud of the
first clods upon the coffin. 1t is most
cruel and most barbarous to subject
any near relative or nearest friend to
such test as this. If the whole COM
pany of relatives and friends must go
to the grave-side, we must contrive
somehow to make the closing scene less
hard and whitening.

Important Lawsuits.

Litigation of great Importance to per-
sons holding bonds issued by towns and
counties in behalf of railroad enterpris-
es is now going forward in the United
States Court for the Western District
of Missouri.
Forty-five different suits have been
brought against towns and counties of
that State for interest on bonds issued
in aid of railroads, which the authorities
of these towns and counties seek to re-
pudiate; and there is one suit against
johnson county arising from an issue
of 100000 normal school bonds, the
legality of which is contested. The
county of Henry is sued for S204, 900 in
two suits by A. H. Nicolay, President
ofthe Board of Brokers in New York,
and the whole amount involved in the
pending litigation will reach nearly two
millions of dollars. There are two suits
against Cass county for 1856, 600, Of
which $55, 900 is portion of what are
known as the bloody bonds, being of
the same issue as those which led to the
tragedy at Gum City, where two or
three persons were killed by an armed
mob.
An interesting question to be deter
mined is whether an innocent holder OF
bonds is entitled to recover when the
circumstances of their issue are such
that they would be invalid in the hands
of the original holders. Nearly all the
plaintiffs in these cases are persons
living in other States, who would come
under the classification of innocent hold
ers, as they bought the bonds in good
faith, knowing nothing of any fraud in
their issue, even if such fraud existed.

their own fashion or that of their shoe

Death of John Stuart Mill.

The death of the most illustrious met
aphysician of his times is announced by
the Atlantic Cable. John Stuart Mill is
no more. Great in all the departments
of intellectual research which he es-
sayed, great in the scope and quality OF
his mind, but particularly great in his
mastery and exposition of those social
problems which attract the enlightened
thought of this generation, the loss of
Mill will be felt as an irretrievable ca
lamity to mankind, for there is no one
left who unites such magnitude of en-
dowment with such devotion to all that
is progressive in the world of social and
political science.

SELF-VACCINATIoN. - An Iowa man,
says an exchange, who thought some
things could be done as well as others,
and that penny saved was penny
earned, concluded to vaccinate himself,
and save the necessity of paying a fee
to a physician. He cut plug out of his
arm, thrust in some virus obtained from
the arm of his sister, who had been vac
cinated by physician few days be-
fore, tied up the wound with piece of
wet newspaper, and awaited the result.
The surgeon found it necessary to am
putate the arm in short time, and the
self-vaccinator is now in his grave, be-
yond the reach of smallpox and other
contagious diseases.
