The Brewers Assuming the Onensive.
BosroE, June AT the Convention of
the National Congress Of Brewers to-day,
the following general resolutions, accompa-
nied by long preamble. were adopted;
Resolved, That this Congress do now sIi.
thorize and empower the Executive Of the
chief association 10 lay before the National
Governr1ent and the Legislatures of the
various States, all the facts and statistics
they have gathered in relation to the brew
ing business, so that the National Govern
ment and the various State Legislatures
may be fully cognizant Of the position
claimed for their business, and being thus
fully informed, they may be inclined, by
judicious laws, to recognize the same, and
afford protection against those who are ig-
norantly and unjustly its enemies.
A second series, called Temperance reso-
lutions, were adopted, as follows.
Resolved, we brewers of the United
States, in congress assembled, do hereby
solemnly protest against the course taken
by the so-called temperance societies to
hold up the use of malt liquors as tending
to immortality, vice, crime or pauperism,
and against their efforts TO influence the
United States or State Legislatures against
their Manufacture.
Resolved, through OUR local associations,
by personal effort, and by means of our Of
fetal organs and the press generally, we
will endeavOr to influence public opinion
in favor of the use of malt liquors as whole
some, nutIfcious and necessary, as health
full restorative without in any manner tend
ing to the injury Of person or property, AMI
therefore not calling for any police regula-
tions.
Resolved, that this Association and the
brewers of the several States are hereby
called upon to make every exertiOn to pre-
vent legislation against the use of malt
liquors, and where laws now exist OF this
character to have them repealed.
Resolved, that each and every brewery is
called upon to encourage such candidates
for Office whether in local, State or Federal
government. who will oppose the enacting
of laws prohibiting the sale Of fermented
liquors, and also whenever practicable TO
use their influence to have all fermented
liquors sold un6er discriminating license.
A long address to the people of the
United States follows. The address speaks
of the "unseemly parade and self abase-
ment of female crusaders, whom we con-
slider TO be the unconscious but misguided
tools in the hands of unscrupulOus men
aiming at personal aggrandizement." 1t
embodies two arguments. First, that pro-
hibition would cut off an important reye-
nue. land jeopardize the credit of the coun-
try; secondly, that it is an invasion of per-
sonal liberty.

THE NATIONAL MILLERS.
State OrganizatiOn-Tra
The Question of Insurance.

ST. LOUIS, June 4.-The Millers' Ma
tiOnal Association elected Geo. p. Plant, of
st. Louis, President. The Secretary, Frank
Little, of kalamazoo, Mich, was instructed
to notify the vice-presidents elected of the
desirability of, efiecting State organizations
in their respective States. A committee
was appointed TO draft set OF bylaws for
the government of State bodies.
Secretary Little gave his experience in
attempting to interest the millers in this
movement. He had issued over 1000 cir
culars to millers in all parts of the country,
and expected to find at least 500 millers
present at this convention, but was sadly
disappointed. He thought the question de-
served more attention than had been given
it.
The Committee on Transportation re-
ported reaffirming the resolutions passed at
Chicago last January. After discussion
Geo. II. Balm, of st. Louis, offered a sub
stitute approving Senator WINDOWS bill
now pending in the United States Senate,
and urging Senators and Representatives to
pass it, which was adopted.
A committee of seven was appointed to
consider the question of insurance, and de
termine whether it is better to organize a
national insurance company for their own
protection, or TO effect compromise with
the insurance companies upon their present
enormous rates.
Committees on transportation, on stor-
age and handling of grain and on mill
machinery, were also appointed.

AMERICAN men and women are nervous,
and naturally have nervous children, OF
slender physique, and easily excited into
precociOus intelligence, which is considered
genius. Instead of letting the little creature
suck it's fists and grow fat it is jumped, and
danced, and confused, ,andmade tOrepeat like
parrot. The English method OF placing
Young children in the hands Of experienced
nurses and making them responsible IS
much better. A large, airy nursery at the
top of the house; good, clean, wholesome
Belgian, Swiss, or Swedish woman to take
charge Of it; breakfast Of oatmeal pOrridge
and milk; dinners Ofroast or boiled beef OF
mutton, and rice pudding; tea Of bread and
butter, milk and fruit, with no cOutectiOn-
ery or spieceS" between meals, and no late
visits or rides with mamma. In such a
quiet, uneventful atmosphere the baby
grows and thrives best, the child is subject
to less excitement, and with healthy and
REGULAR habits laws the foundation Of an ex-
cellent constitution, while the mother is
not worn out by its constant presence, or
made nervous by being constantly harassed
with giving directions to ignorant and mex
perieneed nurses.

HOW A JOURNALIST WAS RE-
IIEVED OF HIS MONEY.
Albany Argus.

An ex-editor of Jersey City paper
arrived at the Delavan House last
evening, and tells the following story:
As he approached the Grand Central
depot, New York, yesterday morning
to take the 1870 express, he noticed
two very pretty and elegantly dressed
young ladies, who came up and treated
him as an old acquaintance, and he,
thinking it was a case of mistaken
identity, thought he would carry the
thing through and have some fun.
They informed him they had procured
a section in the drawing-room car and
invited him to take a seat therein. He
did 50, and enjoyed a very pleasant
ride of two hours. On the arrival of
the train at Poughkeepsie, both the
ladies put their arms around his neck
and kissed him good-by. He stepped
to the dining room and ate some lunch
and returned TO the train, when, to his
dismay and alarm, he found he was
minus his pocketbook containing two
ten-ce1t stamps and a fve-cent piece.

NEW HAMPSHIRE.
GOV. Weston Inaugurafed-Maki
Saints by LEGISLATION.

CoNCoRD, \. H., June 4.-GOv. Weston
was inaugurated to-day. In his message
he discusses at some length on the subject
of temperance; intimates his belief that
entire prohibition is against public senti-
ment, and he fayors permission or license
law of some form. Laws, to he
effective, must be in harmony with
public sentiment; but this principle has
in great degree been overlooked or dsre-
garded in our legislation on the subject OF
temperance, and the result has been, and
is, that for want Of proper moral support
from the public generally either the laws
cannot be, or will not be, enforced. Which
ever of these may be the fact, the practical
result IS the same.
The total receipts from State tax and
other sources the past year was S14O,O0z,
and expenditures S434, ,491, the excess be-
ing represented by cash on hand and by
reduction of the State debt.
