months Of the present year, are 5,S25, as

Liquor Consumption.

Prof. Henry A. Ward, of Rochester,
N. Y, having been applied to by men,
Der OF the British Parliament for sta
tistics in regard to the liquor traffic in
this country, in turn applied to the Com
ceived from him the following letter:
SIR: Your letter to the Hon. the Secretary
of the Interior, asking for some statistics
in regard to the liquor traffic in the United
States for member Of the English Parla-
ment was referred to this Office on the 18th
inst. In reply, have the honor to state that
the only information l can give you on the
subject is derived from returns to the Treasury
Department Of the quantities Of domestic spir-
its and malt liquors on which tax has been
paid, and imported liquors that have been
withdrawn for consumption. The returns for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1877, are as fol-
lows:
Spirits distilled from whatever materials,
Ale beer. lager-beer and porter, barrels. 5000 1853
Imported spirits of all kinds, gallons. 1885, $40
Imported wines in casks and bottles, gal
The following is a statement of the amounts
of special or license taxes paid to the Govern
ment by dealers in liquors during the same
year:
Retail dealers in spirituous liquors., $25
each ...S5, o4O aoJ
500 each. ...,.'.....,............ 44s, 100
Re'ai dealers in malt liquors exclusively,
$40 each. ................... 147,soi
Wholesale dealers malt liquors ex-
clusiveiy, SO each. ................... 42OOl
Thus il appears that there we're upward of
l66, 900 liquor dealers in the country that year.
From the above, and other data, the Hon.
Edward Young, Chief of the Bureau Of Sta
tistics, estimates the amount of money annual
ly expended in the United States for liquors
by consumers to be nearly 1896. 100000.

lowing ticket was nominated Judge of the
Supreme Court, Elijah Norton Register Of
Lands, j. Z. McHenry; State Superintendent
of Public Schools, r. d. Shannon Railway
Commissioner. A. M. Sewer. The three
first named are present incumbents. The

tenn as oppressive and burdensome, deprecates
the contraction Of the currency and demands
the unconditional repeal Of the Resumption
act.

intendent of Public instruction, Prof.

Grand Rapids. The platform arraigns the
Republican party for corruption in Office, in
dorses the investigation of the electoral frauds,
declares that gold and silver is the money of
the constitution, that all paper money should
be convertible into coin at the will of the
holder, and opposes any further forcible re-
duction Of the currency.
Gen. Ferdinand Latrobe has been
elected Mayor of Baltimore.
Something of sensation has been
produced in political circles in New York and
Washington by the announcement of the re-
moval of Gen. Arthur, Collector Of the Port of

Ger at that port. Gen. e. A. Merritt and Col.
W. s. Burt have been designated as their sue
cessors.
Secretary Sherman, while in New York
a few days ago, was interviewed regarding the
next Presidential campaign. He is reported to
have said, unreservedly, that Grant would be the
next Republican candidate, and that il the con-
vention were to be held Immediately he would

The Family Hammer.

True to life is the following from one
of the American humorists, upon that
exasperating subject, "The family ham,
mer."
No well-regulated family pretends to
be without a hammer. And yet there is
nothing that goes to make up the equip
ment of domestic establishment that
causes one-half as much agony and pro-
family as hammer. 1t is always an old
hammer, with handle that is inclined
to silver, and always bound to slip. The
face is always as a full moon and as
smooth as glass. When it glides of
nail and mashes finger, we unhesitat-
ingly deposit it in the back yard, and
observe that we will never use il again.
But the blood has hardly dried on the
rag before we are in search of the same
hammer again, and ready to make an
other trial. The result rarely varies,
but VIC never profit by il. The awful

DIR. Carver's Great Rifle Fest-Breakinl
$500 Glass Balls In 500 Minutes.
(From the New York Herald
At IL o'clock this morning DR.. Carver,
the famous rifle shot, began the phe
nomenal performance of breaking 5. 500
glass balls in 500 minutes with Winches.
ter rifles. The shooter used six rifles.
He was dressed as lightly as possible,
and looked in splendid condition.
Twenty barrels of glass balls confronted
him as he stepped forward to the place
arranged. Before beginning to shoot
he said he was not overconfdent as to
the result, and only knew he would not
attempt the feat again for 500, 900, and
was sorry he had agreed to perform it.
He would give any man $500 who would
shoot the same number of balls from q
post.
The first thousand balls were broken
in one hour and seven minutes, the
misses averaging about one in thirty
shots, and the doctor being twenty-five
minutes ahead of time. BY this time
his eyes began to smart and trouble him
seriously, the dust and CRIME mingling
with the perspiration on his face, and
working into his eyes in spite of all pre-
cautions.
When through with his feat, never
before attempted, as it probably never
will be again, tie doctor said he had
shot half blind almost from the start,
and nothing could induce him to try
it over.
The cartridges were loaded with forty
grains of powder and 200 grains of lead,
and the recoil of each shot was tremen-
dous, but the doctor never finched,
though after the first 1000 shots the
pain in his shoulder must have been
great. His only and great trouble was
with his eyes. The water, in spite OF
careful cleaning, chung to the guns, and
with each discharge was spurted direct
ly into DR.. Carver's face and eyes.
Shortly after o'clock, when at the
end of his thirty-fi hundred, and
eleven minutes ahead of his time, he
retired to the hotel for half an hour,
changed his clothes, took some beef tea,
and bathed his eyes. On his return,
eleven minutes behind time, he began
shooting with great rapidity.
Although during the day the crowd of
spectators was at no time great, between
5000 and 1000 persons watched the
shooting at different periods. The sue
cessful shots reached 1000, 5000, and
the excited crowd pressed closely about
the shooter. The man, who was a per-
feet speciman of manhood in..the morn
ing, had become entirely blind. He
calls out, For Gods sake, boys, how
much more have 1 got to do ?" "Just
100 more, and eighteen minutes to do
them in" seems to revive him. Sud-
denly a cheer announced the task COM
pleted. Then the gun falls from
his grasp, and he is carried away in a
carriage, his task done and ten minutes
to spare. He was taken to the hotel and
put to bed, where he suffered much with
his eyes.
He says he did not see hundreds of
the balls at which he fired. He fred in
all 6,208 shots.

DisraeI,s Diplomatic Victory.

There has been within the last two
weeks a great change in the tone OF the
English press toward the Earl OF Bea-
consfeld, and many papers that praised
him without stint now criticise his
course. To those who are familiar with
the history of the Eastern question, and
of England's policy III regard thereto,
this is not strange. Beaconsfield en-
tered the congress with the assurance
that he would secure triumph for En-
gland Enthusiastic Englishmen jumped
to the conclusion that this triumph would
be secured by humiliating Russia and
by forcing remarkable concessions from
her. They had neither the long head
nor the knowledge of Eastern diplomacy
that guided their Prime Minister. Un-
derstanding Russia, and looking ahead
AS did Russia, BeacOnstield saw how
England could take advantage OF the
battles Russia had fought and won. He
abandoned the old English policy, and
inaugurated a new one. He surren-
dered the principle of the integrity of
the Turkish empire, which has been so
obnoxious to Russia, and, caring little
for Bulgaria and Roumania, struck for
Asia. AS the real purpose of this new
departure has dawned upon the English
mind, the friends of the old policy have
taken alarm.
But the Prime Minister will carry
England with him, because he has given
up what was little more than a sham,
and always burden, and secured great
advantages. Thirty years ago some of
the oldest and shrewdest officers in the
British army in India argued that the
old policy of antagonizing Russia was
mistake, and that the true policy was to
join hands with her and settle the East
ern question as friends. These men
have had strong following for years,
and Beaconsfeld has been the first
Prime Minister to use their practical
knowledge and to act on their sugges-

Beauty at the Bath.

A woman's garments were recently
found by some young men on the bank
of secluded stream near DAYTON. Ohio,
neatly arranged in pile. The owner
not being visible, the idea of suicide at
once suggested itself, and this theory
was strengthened by the discovery in a
pocket of the dress of tender and
touching love-letter addressed to "Nly
darling" The clothes were taken and
delivered to the police. The next day a
young lady of Dayton, accompanied by
some friends, appeared at police head
quarters and claimed the garments, ex-
planning that she was bathing in the
stream at little distance from the point
where they were discovered, and that
she could not conveniently prevent their
removal. The clothes were returned.
