Hon. John Hall. OF Mason county, has,
10 card containing his biography and
views of morality, announced himselfas an
independent candidate for Congress. From
the declaration Of bis principles one would
infer that Mr.. Hail was utterly opposed
to everything 10 the shape Of Radicalism,
sc. now he ha, placed himself in the bands
Of the Radicals asking, in effect, their sup
port against the regular nominee Of The
only party that can save the country. In
everything contained iu this card, except
the compromise Mr.. Hall offers to tae Re-
publicans, the Democratic candidate for
the same position he seeks, has in accept
ing his nomination on the Democratic plat
form, pledged himself to do, aud to do it
for the interest of the people. The Dem
ocratic party is Of the peoples party. and
the man who represents that party i, just
as deroted to those things which appertaus
to the welfare Of the people as Mr.. Hall
processes he is, CT would be. As for be-
ing au Independent" candidate those who
know Mr.. Hall best, know, that to secure
the position at which be now aims, be
would resort to any tricks; or any species
of wire pulling or party selling that any
other old crafty politician would. We
have no doubt that Mr.. Hall iu drawing
up bis "bill Of rights" kept one eye, at
least, on the copy of the platform Of the
Democracy. We feel safe in saying that
Mr.. Hall will find at the end Of the race
be is just trying to start in that i. would
have been better for his own interest had
be remained at home; where according to
bis own account he is so much loved, hon.

Mr.. Hall for good many years, and have
never known him to give dollar for any

- The extraordinary growth of Ger
man influence in New York city is
partially exhibited by the lager-beer
statistics of the place, The stuff is
sold in not less than 1000. salOons-
which is at the rate of one such sa-
loon to $50 inhabitants. The amount
consumed in the city last year was as
high as 100000 gallons, which is at
the annual rate Of seven gallons for
every man, woman and child in the
city. Eight years ago the average in
diVidual annual consumption was
gallon and half ten years ago it was
about gallon, while twenty years ago
the total consumption was very slight.
The spread of lager-beer has been con-
slant for q score of years but during
the last few years it has been unpreCe-
dentedlY rapid and there is a good pros
peet that it will rise as high as twenty
gallons head per annum by the time
of the Centennial of our National in
dependence. It seems that a great
deal of the lager-heer supplied TO the
multitudes there is abOminablo stuff.
Many of the makers put in hideous
substances for one purpose or another
to give it color, to make it foamy, to
sharpen its pungency, to increase its
thirst producing powers, or its intoxi-
eating effects, or to keep it fresh, or
to render it narcotizing. The Ameri-
cans drink much of this bad beer,
which can not SO easily passed off on
Germans, who know good beer. 1t is
well for all classes there that the deal
ers have lately begun to draw enor-
nous supplies from Cincinnati Gin.

The Farmers and Drovers' Bank
of Louisville, KY, will, in a few weeks
have SIS, 100000 belonging to the tick
et-holders in the Fifth Gift Concert,
ia aid of the Public Library, which
takes place July 31st. This immense
sum is a trust-fund, which can only
be used in paying ticket-holders, on
the signature of the manager, Gov.
Thos. e. Bramlette. The man who
gets the big gift, $25O,OOO, will have
an exceedingly pleasant cheque on
that bank.
The next Concert, which is the fifth
and last, will occupy all of Friday,
July 31st, and the gifts will be paid
= to the lucky ones, commencing the
next day, at the bank. 1t takes near
ly a week to cash the gifts.
That some idea may be had of the
magnitude of this enterprise, and the
interest taken in it by the people, we
state that the receipt OF, three thous-
and letters per day is nothing uncom-
mon. Two, thirds of these epistles
contain money for tickets, and the
other third ask for circulars in expla-
nation. And every letter is acknowl-
edged before the office is closed, fol
the night. There is no harder work

- 49, procession


It sad that there must be last
man in a procession but 1t must al
wavs be so, until some way IS dlsco'-
cred of making up the procession IN d ]
circle and then giving 1t motlon IKE
a rotary shell, turning round Its own
axis and going sraight ahead also
This last man is q weary, worn, pathet-
IL creature, who looks as if life were
a burden to him. He is arusty, seedy
biped, without any good clothes. No
stars blaze on his breast. No banner
shields him from the fiery sun. His
ear never hears the inspiring notes OF
the band. He catches all the dust OF
the procession. Bystanders rush IN
front of him with impunity. He has
no pride at all. There is no pomp
about him, no majesty OF mien' ne
always looks sick, tired, dlsheTeled,
and forlorn.. Small boys jeer at him.
Bus-drivers cOntemptuously order
him out of the way. Reckless young
men make desperate. efforts to drive
over him. He gets mixed up among
newsboys, boot-blacks, yellow dogs,
advertising wagons, fan sellers, drays,
and frantic women rushing after errat-
ic children, and loses the procession,
and, by the time he regains it, he is a
poor, harassed, detected man and a
brother, and an object of univers al
pity. The chanches are that if he does
not go off with sunstroke or get run
over by an ice cart and have to be ta-
en- home in an express wagon, he will,
as the result of his pathetic situation,
get drunk with remarkable dispatch
before sunset. So long as there must
be a last man in every procession
there should be some compensation.
He should be made attractive. Let
him be handsomely decorated and
caparisoned. Let him have two
aprons. Let him carry banner and
have an American flag in his hat. Let
him also have a drawn sword with
which-to keep off the small boys and
yellow dogs, and thus the last man in
the procession will cease to be the
most wretched object in existence
