DRENCHED WITH BEER.
The MHin lJNty at Our Minister to Ger.
a,snnU-FrelirsttIsyry Practice.


a1sanU-FretinttIary Practice.
From the Times.
One of the largest and most sparkling Of
the ovations to Bayard Taylor was given in
the Liederkranz Hall last evening. It was
German "Commers," a real commers, such
as Kaiser Williams subjects delight in, and
Kaiser Hayes's subjects hold whenever they
can find the occasion and the beer.
The big Leiderkranz Hall was full. There
was not room for another man. One more
glass of beer might have found it's way in,
but it would have met with instant death.
Beer had no more chance there than reeds
before hurricane. The most prominent
object in entering the hall was large
platform, and Bayard Taylor calmly
smoking very large cigar. BY the
way, they were all smoking. And what is
chat before the new minister? A foamink,
sparkling, rapidly diminishing glass of am
DER beer! Then came William Cullen Bry
int, at the Presidents left. with very large
Ind very tall clay cup, with silver lid, with
the white foam making it's way over the top.
There's no denying it, it was the biggest sort
If schooner The President had cup
that would laugh at half gallon, and could
stretch itself little and take in the whole
four quarts.
Underneath the platform, stretching all
the way down to the other end of the hall,
we're fifteen large tables, at which were seated
aot less than 500 men, 500 beer glasses (too
often, alas, quite empty, and 500 little plates
Of matches. Added to this. came the very
agreeable, but rather thick smoke from 500
cigars. There was the noise of the clinking
Of many glasses, of the striking of many
matches, of the clapping of many hands,
md the soft gurgling of many gallons of
foaming beer, as it rolled and rippled deli
ciously down 500 appreciative throats.
1t is possible that there are some unin-
formed Americans who do not know what a
eommers is. The object is to drink as much
beer as you can hold, smoke just as many
cigars as you can bite the ends off of, and
see who can sit in his chair the longest. It
is an institution worthy the gods. And,
bless u.s. how the beer pours down. It's up
we all stand, and down she oil goes; and
here, waiter, fil'em up again. The man
who can drink the most land the reporter
will pledge his word that Bayard Taylor is
no SLOUGH at the business, IS the best man.
There is nothing to eat-and who would eat
when he can blow off the foam and have
her filled up.
The bill of fare was varied and extensive.

Mar,h as Grove Camp-meeting.

The second day of the Temperance Alliance
opened clear and very pleasant. The social
meeting was held at the stand at 30 O'Clock
aad remarks were made by Rev. ]. E. Wolfe
Tyrie of Saco, and very much interested the
small audience gathered before them.

were opened by prayer by Rsv. T. Tyrie, fol-
lowed by the ringing Temperance Battle
Song," after which Rev. d. B. Randall ad :
dressed the meeting upon the historic records
of the temperance work, taking it from the
earliest history to the present, giving many
dates and actions taken by men and societies
through the latter part of the last and the first
part of the present century.

Pray" was then sung by the Perham Quar-
tette.
A larger attendance greeted Gen. Dow at 2

to depict the contrast between the condition of
towns in Maine in the old rum time and these
teetotal times, the villages of "Mud City" and
"Pooduck" coming in for share. Good men,
however, in those days were engaged in the
liquor traffic, unaware of its enormity.
The General tested the sentiment of the
people now by submitting memorial for their
endorsement, which was unanimously given.
This memorial asks the State Legislature for a
strengthening of the prohibitory law.

SUDDEN DEATH AT THE IsLANDs.-Last
night Mr. Malcolm j. McF Farland of Peterboro.
Ontario was found dead in his room at Toronto
Cottage, Peaks Island, where he has been
boarding the past two weeks. He has been in
i'll health for some time, and not lgalning as
fast as he wished to, had decided to leave for
home this morning and had his trunk packed
for that purpose He was quite comfortable
yesterday and there was no indication of his
death. He went to his room at tea time, and
some of the boarders who called to see him
found him dead in his chair. Coroner Gould
was called, but did not deem an inquest neces
sary, as the death was no doubt the result of 9
lung trouble of long standing The body was
brought to this city last night and will be sent
to his home to-day.
