per:
Everybody in Germany drinks beer, II
being part of the daily food, as much ~
coffee Is in America. Mothers wean their
infoufs on beer, aud they arc brought up
accustomed TO drink it as freely as water.
At all the stations on the roads an oppof-
tunity is given to the passengers to seure
supply, and it is almost as cheap a. water.
They attribute the absence Of dyspepsia 10
beer. aud point to the rosy cheeks Of their
daughters as the result Of this wholesome
beverage. Our party arc oil giving il a
lair trial, and hepo TO return home With a
new lease Of life and health With ali due
respect 70 our Baltimore brewers, we do not
think any Of them come up to the quality
Of the German article, which is Of bright
and clear amber color, and sparkling un-
der a heavy froth. The taste for it is en-
acquired one, ADD We aro Ill getting quite

Lincoln and the South.

A gentleman q this city related to us
the other day Characteristic incident con-
cerning Presiden, Lineolo, aud which is
worthy Of preservation.

vent the effusion of fratricidsl blood and

Mr.. Lincoln replied that whatever his
sympatbics and feelings might be for the
people of the South, he, as President, was
sworn to protect and defend tho cons,itu.
ton and laws Of the United States. He
said he was in the condition Of the boy
who went out in company with n party of
coon hunters, when a small young coon was
caught,t tied with string 4 the young lad re-
quested To bold tho coon until the return
OF the party from the pursuit Of more game
The coon tugged at this string to get loose :;
looked wisfuly at the ncighboring woods

This auecdote doubtless truly represent
ed MIR. Lincoln's real feelings towards the
South, and his hope was the String
would break rather than the effusiou of
blood should follow the attemp, of the CO.

not break, as we all know, and the conse.

An old friend of the Iato Chief Justice
tells US an onecdote showing Mr.. Chase's
cleverness at repartee. While on a visit
to the Southern States, after the war, Mr..
Chase was introduced to very beautiful
woman who prided herself on her devotion
to the Lost Cause. Anxious that the Chief
Justice should know her real sentiments,
she remarked, as she gave him her hand :

Tux EAa.-fIow TO Cans ron ir-rhe Popx.
lar Science Monthly, for June, says tha, probabiy
the most frequent way in which the ear Is iu,
paired is by the attempt TO clean il. II ought
to he understood that the passage or the ear does
not require cleaning by us. Nature undertake.
that task, and in the healthy state folls II per-
fecty. Her means for cleaning the ear 10 the
wax. Perhaps the reader has never wondered
what becomes Of the esr-wa1. will tell him.
II dries up into thin white scales aud these peel
OF one by one, from the surface of the passage,
and fall out mperceptbly, leaving behind them
perfectly clean, smooth surface. 10 health the
passage of the ear is never dirty but, IL We at
tempt TO clean IL we nfsllibly make il so. Here
by strange lack Of justice, as Il would seem.
which, however, has no doubt, deep justice at
the bottom-the best people, those, who love
cleanliness, suffer most, and good and careful
nurses do mischief negligent ones avoid
Washing the ear out with soap aud water 10 bad;
ii keeps the wax moist when IL had ought to be-
come dry aud scaly, increases its quantity undu-
ly, and makes IL absorb the dust with which the
air always abounds. But the mos, hurtful thing
is introducing the corner Of the towel, screwed
UP, and twisting il round. This does more harm
10 the ears than all the other mistakes together.
II drives down the wax upon the membrane
much more than II gets out. Let any one who
doubts this make tute like the passage espe-
cially with the curves which il possesses; let
him put thin membrane at one end, smear the
surface with n substance like the earwax, and
then try to get II out so by towel. But this
plau does much more mischief than merely press
ing down the wax. 1t irritates the passages, and
makes it cast off small fakes Of skin, which dry
up and become extremely hard, aud these are
also hardly pressed down upon the membrane.
Often IL is not only deafness that ensues, but
pain and inflammation and then matter Is form
ed which the hs I'd mass prevents from escaping,
and the membrane becomes diseased, and worse
may follow.
Washing should extend only to the outer sur,
face, ms far as the finger can reach. IL is a bad
practice, also TO put cotton wool soaked in lau-
dsnum chloroform into the ear for the relief
Of earsche. When a chlds ear becomes pain
full, as it often does, everything should be done
TO sooth il, and all strong, irritating applica-
tons should be avoided. Pieces of hot fg OF
onion should not be put in but warm fannels
should be applied, with poppy fermentation, IL
the pain should not soon subsidc.
1t should be remembered that constantly GOV.
ering up the ear !. adapted TO injure it. On the
whole men, ia whom the ear is habitually ex-
posed, safer if anything less from ear disease
than women, in whom II is often covered.

POINTED AND TRUE.-The New York
Golden Age, semi religious paper, com
mcnts with severity upon the late parricidal
tragedy IN that city Says the editor:
This young assassin Frank ii. Walworth,
from the motive which impelled him, the
courage ofhis behavior, and bis unsbrink-
ing determination to face squ,rely the con-
sequences of his act, will be the hero of
some shsllow eulogists. But he should be
scourged by the stroke OF a public opinion
that will brush off the tinsel aud glitter
OF this kind Of bravado, and leave him TO
appear exactly what be is-a cold blooded
parracide. The law of revenge is too wide
ly practiced and defended by society. II
should be abolished from every mans code
of honor. 1t has no fit place in the soul of
any proud and self respecting man, no mat
ter what are his grievances. In this case
it miserably failed Of it's purpose, and
mognifed the i'll which it sought TO cure.
For instance, what has young Walworth
done for his mother except to publish her
mi'eries, add to her anguish and hasten her
TO the grave. The case could not be more
graphically presented in it's facts and NOR
al bearings than 10 this brief paragraph, and
