Josh Billings on Beer,

hav finally cum to the conclusion
that lager beer as beverage is not in
toxicating.

said he had drunk 1t all mite long, Just
to try the experiment, and was obi. ged
to 60 home entirely sober in the morning.
have seen this same man drink eigh-
teen glasses, and if was drunk it was in
German, as nobody could understand it.
1t is proper enuff to state that this man
kept a lager beer saloon; could have no
object in stating what was not strictly
thus. 0s~s. 4' "..g'
believe him to the full extent of nv
ability. never drank but three glasses
of lager in my life, and that made my
head outwist as tho 1t was hung on the
end of string, but I was told that it
was owing to my bile being out of place
but guess that it was so, for [ never
billed over wus than did when got
HON that mite. My wife thot I was goin
to die, and was afraid that shouldn't,
for it seemed as tho everything I had
ever eaten in my life was coming to the
surface; and I believe that if nv wife
hadn't pulled off my boots just as she
did, they would hav cum laundering up

o, how sick I wuz! IA years ago, and
can tast it now. r .g...~ -.
It any man shud tell me that lager beer
was not intoxicating, I shud believe him,
but it he shud tell me WASH drunk that
mite, but that my stummick was out of
order. shud ask him to state over few
words just how man felt and acted
when he was set up. rs-.. 49,
If l wasn't drunk that mite, I had some
of the most natural simtums that a man
ever had and kept sober.
In the first place it was about 30 rods
from where I drank the lager beer to nv
house, and was jest over two hours on
the road, and hole busted through each
one of my pantaloon neez, and I didn't
have any hat, and tried to open the door
by the bell-pull and hiccuped awfully
and saw everythin' in the room
trying to get round on the back
side of me, and, sitting down on chair,
did not wait long enough for it to get
exactly under me when it was going
round, and I set down little too soon
and missed the chair about twelve inches
and couldn't get up soon enough to take
the next one that came along; and that
| amt my wife said I wuz as drunk as
beest, and, az said before, began to
spin up things freely.
Ii lager beer is not intoxicating it used
me most mighty mean, that I know.
Still 1 hardly think that lager beer IL
intoxicating, for have been told so; and
1 am probably the only man living who
ever drunk eny when his liver was not
plumb.
don't want to say anything against a
harmless temperance beverage, but if ev-
er drink eny more, it Will be with nv
hands tied behind me and my mouth
pried open.
don't think lager beer is Intoxicating.
but If l remember rite, think it tasted
to me like a glass Of soap suds that a
pickle had been tew soak in.

A Bachelors Apology.

Her eyes were bright, her figure slight.
And light as any fairy; 5sIg.
Her nose was heavenward enclined;
Her manners sweet an airy.
Her mouth was like rosebud;
Her voice like any linnet;
Her head was little, and fear rs
Had very little in it.
But then so artless was her art
Ny heart could not resist her;
And added TO her other charms,
She had pretty sister.
They bloomed like any double rose,
They blushed a double pink;
One graced the name of Laura;
The other, Kate, think.s
When left alone with Laura,
Love urged his soft dictate;
And in sweet Laura's absence,
I dotted more-on Kate. -
And thus to choose between them ..
'Twere treason to decide,
Because had been happiest
With either for my bride. .o.
To fitch one flower, and leave her
Companion all alone,
To pine in single sadness
Would need a heart Of stone. g.
And that's the reson, Ladies',
I'm still your partisan, .
For being single hearted,
I rest a single man.

The New York Herald has kilograms
from all portions of the country, and is
able, therefore, to give an accurate and
thorough review of the growing crops.
The outlook is most satisfactory, and
everything promises cheap bread in 1879.
There is now under pillow in the United
States an area of not less than 80, 000, 900
acresS being a greater amount of land
under cultivation than ever before.
This land is principally planted in
grain. There is an increase of 2,000,-
600 acres planted in wheat over 1877.
The crop, moreover, is in a very
promising condition. The Coast States,
California, Virginia, ETC., with the ex-
ception of Texas, Arkansas and Ten
nessee, show a poor crop, but in all the
Central and Western States, the great
wheat growing States of the Union, the
outlook is grand. Kansas, it is thought,
will lead off with 40. 600. 900 bushels, the
largest wheat crop by so per cent. ever
raised in any State of the Union.
Most of the other Western States
show an increase in the expected wheat
crop; in Wisconsin this increase is esti-
mated at fully one sixth; in Iowa, at
one-fourth in Minnesota, at three
tenths in Nebraska, at four-tenths.
The conditions of the crops in these
States is almost without parallel. 1t is
estimated that this country will raise
between 100000, 900 and 400, 900, 900
bushels. OF this, $50. 900, 900 is needed
for home consumption, $4,000, 600 for
seed, leaving a surplus of from 10, 900, :
600 to 14O, 600, 600 bushels for export.
The wheat crop of the rest of the
world this year is poor. The crop is
failure in Germany, Belgium and Hol-
land is behindhand in France, aud is
poor in India We will, therefore, send
larger amount of wheat abroad this
year than usual. 1t is impossible, how
ever, that we can ship as much as 140,-
600 900 bushels.
There are 5O,0OO,0 900 acres of land
planted with corn. The crop, there
fore, will be larger than last year. The
other grains, barley and rye, are of
small Importance, but of these also the
acreage this year is larger than in 1877,
and the condition far superior.
Tobacco is the only. staple that will
show an actual decrease in production
this year. The excessive crop OF last
year and the small prices paid discour
aged the farmers, and the consequence
is a decrease in the acreage planted in
tobacco. I
With this single exception, the crops
of 1878 will exceed those of any pre-
vious year in the history of this coun-
try.

The increasing dependence of foreign
countries on American articles of food,
material for manufactures of different
kinds and other commercial ventures,
is fairly shown by cargoes taken out by
steamers that lett New York last week
for Europe. The City of Chester took
5000 packages of butter, 100 tons agri-
cultural implements, 90 tons fresh meat,
800 boxes bacon and 1900 cases canned
meats. The France took 487 head live
cattle, 325 crates of hams, 10000 bushels
of grain. The Erin took 80, 900 bushels
of grain, 10, 600 boxes cheese, 1900 pack
ages butter, 400 boxes bacon, 100 sew
ing machines, 800 bales cotton, 40 tons
fresh meat and II horses. The Neckar,

200 hogsheads, $50 cases and 900 bales
tobacco and 800 bales cotton.

The Washington Post does not seem
to think that the Grant movement
amounts to much. 1t says: "Several of
our able contemporaries are becoming
exceedingly alarmed at the symptoms of
Grantism which prevail in some quar-
tiers. The alarm, however, proceeds
from a total Misrepresentation of the
symptoms. The fact that Grant is put
forward as Presidential candidate by
the Illinois Radical Convention does not
indicate that the masses of Republican
party desire such a nomination. On the
other hand, it is merely sign that the
whiskey ring is still the handspring i'll
the machinery of the Radical party Of
Illinois. There are so many Republicans
men who voted for Hayes in 1876
who would rather see the Democrats
win than to see Grant set up as a militia
~ dictator, that there is really very lit
tie danger. We suppose that there is
no way of siiencing the joyful yeIls and
whoops of the boys who have been
out of Jail all over the country
for last year and half, and there is no
reason why they should be denied the
privilege Of testifying their gratitude to
the man who pardoned them in any way
they please"
