NEW YORK.
Tweed was taken 10 New York Friday as
witness. His prison life docs not appear
10 wear on him much, and as he has money,
his head has not been shaver nor does no
wear the prison uniform. Money is power
full.
Last week the papers wero telling about
one Mullen, who was beating Weston "all
hollow" as walkist, and this wock they
will have chance to tell that he was
fraud, the track he walked on being only
240 feet instead Of 800, as represented.
Nothing moro generous to the poor Of
New York has been devised for long time
than the thought Of some benevolent ladies,
who have put money into the hands Of the
Children's aid society TO provide a sumner
home among flowers and trees for the worn
out children Of the tenement houses. Every
week, detachment Of seventy Of these pale
aud wretched little ones are sent to breathe
pure air, drink fresh milk, and play in the
grounds Of large country-place on Staten
Island. 1t is on a high hill, commanding
views far out to sea, and open to the fresh,
salt breezes. There are shade and fruit
trees about it, a garden and seven acres Of
grass land, where the cows feed which sup
ply the place with milk Here children who
have suffered from the confined teneme mt
houses and poor fare Of the unhealthy quar-
tiers Of our city have free range for a week,
aud il is found that the thin faces soon gain
a ruddier hue and plumper form under the
influence of pure air and sunlight and the
nourishing diet Of the home.

Beer Drinking.

We copy the following very sensible talk
from the Montpelier Argus and Patriot:
The revenue to the government from the
manufacture and sale Of fermented liquors
amounts in the ten years past to $62,279,-
1877, or an average Of more than six millions
per annum. Tho nine millions barrels for
the year 1873 is about equivalent to three
glasses per day for all the males in the
country over twenty-one years OF age, aud
taking into consideration the fact that there
are very many who do not drink beer at all,
aud many others who only drink occasionally,
the regular beer guzzlers are well supplied
with their favorite beverage. And there
seems TO be no difficulty in their getting it.
These statistics are astounding. We can
hardly believe them to be true, and yet they
are so we'll authenticated they cannot be
doubted. The brewers themselves present
them, and argue that the increased consump-
ton Of fermented liquors to the extent Of al
most one million barrels in one year sis the
popular endorsement Of its refreshing, invig-
Grating, and Nutritious qualities" and that
by furnishing WHOLESOME beverage for the
use mot abuse) Of the people, instead of the
poisonous decoctions that have brought about
40 much misery in our country" they are
really promoting the cause Of temperance,
and removing the secession for much Of the
useless aud foolish legislation for au object
which moral suasion aud proper limits Of law
can alone accomplish.
Such arguments appear exceedingly plausi-
BILE, but to our apprehension they are to be
taken cum grdao sails. The witnesses are
"interested." They have capital invested,
and profits to look after. Some doubt may,
therefore, be reasonably entertained wheth-
er the method they suggest is the best or the
surest way to promote the temperance cause.
We have no doubt it would "iuaugurate a
new era in our entire social system" but
we are fearful it would prove to be drink
ing 'era," Of which VIC certainly need no
more, either for the honor or the prosperity
Of the country.

QUALIFICATIONS FOR OFFICE.

An idea seems 10 prevail to some extent
that offices Of trust aud honor in the gift Of
the people should be bestowed, as rewards,
upon those who have done services for the
country. Inside of parties this principle has
been acted on to scandalous extent, the
victorious party, after an election, bestOwing
It's patronage openly and AUTOMATICALLY up
on those who have eyinced the most loyalty
and zeal in fighting the battles of the party.
1t matters not which party wins, this thing
has been practiced by the winners. We en-
ter our protest against it.
In England the colonial officers with their
little work and much pay, the latter coming
out of the colonies and not out Of Great
Britain, are frequently distributed thus, and
it is not 50 much to be wondered at, but in q
country where the officers are chosen by thu
people, and where il is an accepted maxim
