Lager Beer VS.. whisky.

Never was there so much lager beer
and so little whisky drinking in Memphis
as at present. The German citizen al.
ways drank it, of course, and within the
last four years the American mar has
taken kindly to it and now loves his
lager with strong affection. The Irish.
nan still holds on to his national bever-
age, good whisky but sven in the sa.
looms kept by Irishmsn in this city lager
is found on draught, a thing unheard of
a yearor two ago. The French resident
does not take kindly to lager, he prefer
ring his wi national and equally tenn.
perate drink, light wines. The negro
prefers whisky to all other beverages,
lager being too weak for his constitution,
cand Onsequeutly but little lager beer is
gulped down by the African.

an Ancient IndeRtnre.
hriIIn DnnA- Il

We were shown yesterday, by M. B.
Iorbstt, an indentnre made on June IL.
1896, between Andrew Jackson, OF
Davidson couhty, Tenn, and David AL
ison, Of Philadelphia. It was written
IN beautiful characters on parchment,
describing the several tracts of land,
containing in all 26,8l0 acres in North
Carolina. The parchment is in an ex-
eellent state OF preservation. At the
bottom of the deed may be seen the old
warrior 8 name, written in 2 large bold
hand, while the name of David Allison
appears in somewhat smaller and more
even letters. Witnessed BY Thomas
Blount and Anthony Yerkes. Ii was
registered in Weakley county, in the
registers Office, before Jos. Wilson, who
was then register, in the year A. D. 1925.
10 those days duplicates we're taken Of
deeds. In order to prevent fraud, the
article and duplicate we're written, both
on the same parchment, on either end.
They were then detached by cutting
them 10 two in a zigzag manner, which
gave rise to the name "indenture." If
the two or a forged document and a true
one were placed together afterward. it
would easily be detected as true or false
by the corresponding edges Of the parch-
ment. Mr. Torbett found this old relic
In come of his father old papers. He
intends presenting it to the Historical
Society.

Tho Late Sir OOIman O'LOshIeu,

The Late Sir COIman O'LoghIen,
Liverpool Post, July al
The death of Sir Colmau O'Loghlen
as announced in the morning papers
created a sad sensation in the lobby Of
the House of Commons yesterday, the
right honorable gentleman having been
actively engaged in the House up to the
close Of Saturdays proceedings. Sor-
row was universally expressed at the loss
Of one so kindly and amiable, the Irish
members especially declaring it would
be difficult for them to Gil his place. Sir
Colman OLoghlen belonged to an au.
cient aud much respected Catholic fami-
ly in Glare. His father, Sir Michael
0'Loghlen, was Master OF the Rolls 10
Ireland, and was the first Catholic Judge
appointed in that country between the
reign of James ii and Queen Victoria.
A handsome statue to psrpetuate his
memory was erected by the bar Of Ire
land, and now stands at the head OF the
-Four Courts, Dublin. Sir Colman has
been a prominent figure in Ilish political
forensic life for the last forty years. He
was associated with the late Chief Jus.
tice Whiteaide and Mr., Bait, N. P, 10
defending Sir Charles Gavin Duffy,
Smith 0'Brien, and the other State pris.
oners 10 lS4S. He was greatly loved by
bis tenantry and universally respected
by his fellow landed proprietors. Under
the administration of Mr.. Gladstone, be
filled the Office Of Judge Advocate Cen
eral-a post which he,resigned on the oc
currence of a misfortune incurred solely
by an over.generous readiness to befriend
others. He was never married, and
leaves two brothers, one OF whom will, we
believe, succeed to the baronetcy and es-
tates.
