RINGING THE BELL ON DRINKS.

.RINGlNG IHE BELL ON DRINKS.
The Moffett Punch Register is attracting
unusual interest. We are not familiar with
the mechanism Of this interesting instru-
ment, but its purpose is to record each
drink, SO as to collect a tax of two cents to
one half Of cent drink, depending on the
nature of the liquid. It is estimated, that, in
New York city, 1920, 100000 glasses of beer
and ale, and 14O,OOO,O0O glasses of liquor
are swallowed in one year, and that at the
above rates of taxation, the "hard'' liquor
would yield yearly income of $2,sOO,OOO,
and the 'soft" liquor $4,000, 900, aggregat-
ing $9,10o,00O revenue each year, and all
this in addition to the specific license fees.
This is simply tremendous. The
figures don't lie, and these appear
to have been prepared with very great
care. AS matter of law, we have no idea
now of discussing the Punch way of drink
ing. There is strong probability that it
will be introduced in many Of the cities of
the country. So far experience has demon
strated that the number of drinks is not ma
terially lessened. Many people appear to
drink for the fun of hearing the Punch solo.
But the revenue produced is enormous
Before the Punch register reaches this
latitude, we hope, some inventive genius will
improve npon the present patent, by adding
to it's capacity to register the number of
drinks, the additional accomplishment Of
giving the name and profession of the drin-

arranging Her O,u,s Funeral.
New York SUM-

New York Sun.
Mrs. Sarah A. Spencer, widow of Sylvanus
Spencer, an old-time circus man of this city,
died on Friday last in her home at 1876 East
Fifteenth street. Her dying request was,
that her funeral should be as magnificent as
wealth could make it. She asked to be
buried in flowers, and to have the full Epis-
copal burial service for the dead performed
over her. She also made last request that
her body be kept six days before it was put
in the grave. For years Mrs. Spencer was
constantly referring to her funeral, and she
attended all the big obsequies to determine
how she would like to have her own conduct
ed. It was her desire to have a coffin
like that of the late Alexander T. Stewart.
The funeral services over Mrs. Spencer
were performed yesterday in the handsome
new chapel of st. Augustine, in Houston
street. No expense was spared to make it
as elaborate as possible, in accordance with
the wishes of the deceased woman. The
services were begun at the unusually early
hour of 81 o'clock in the morning. Mrs.
Spencer rested in o rich, Spanish cedar
casket, trimmed and mounted similar to the
one in which the late Alexander T. Stewart
was buried. The handles, eight in number,
were of solid silver, gilded with gold. Purple
silk velvet lined the casket, and the draping
was of gold bullion fringe. The lid was
mounted with solid gold plate, on which
was inscribed:

TIE INSANE HOSPITAL MANAGERS.
We have had occasion to remark that the
above worthless, from latest accounts, were
very indignant with the GLOBE, and also to
express our grateful satisfaction thereat. 1t
is another instance, whom the gods would
destroy they first make mad. Dickens tells
a story of the inmates of mad house in
France, just previous to the visit of the gov
eminent inspectors of hospitals, turning the
tables on officers and managers, overpower-
ing them, combining them in the mad cells,
and assuming the management themselves.
They received the inspectors in royal style,
entertained them at dinner, and such din
ner, perhaps, was never witnessed before OF
since.
We don't know but what it would be an
improvement, if the present inmates at st.
Peter should act the same role, and inter.
sperse the entertainment with the history
of each cell since the foundation of tie pres
ent mammoth concern.

WRITING GRANT UP,

Preparatory to Grants Oriental tour, in
Guiding the Holy land, the correspondents
begin to palaver his praises. He has been
to see the Sultan, and while the Su]tan's
present sorrowful plight prevented the offer
of palace, and other royal honors, His
Majesty and the General had a supper to-
gether, and the General was prevailed upon 10
accept from the royal stables beautiful
Arabian horse with gray color! Grant was
thereupon we'll pleased with his visit. This
is Grant all over-a better photograph was
never taken.
No doubt exists but that the itinerant
Caesar has his eye on Presidential third
term. It is time that Gen. Banning should
hurry up with his army bill. Reduce the army
to the lowest possible number of men, dis
charge all useless and fancy officers, and
when Mr.. Grant finds that the people of the
United States are not so much military as
they were, perhaps his ambition will be
moderated.
Were tie Republicans to hold their
national convention tomorrow, Grant
would be the nominee, and the com
bined money power and corruption of the
country would be united to elect him. 1t ID
exceedingly doubtful whether, if elected, he
ever would be inaugurated. The contempla.
ton of four years more of Grants reign
would convulse the country from center te
circumference. There is no such calamity
in store, for the year 1880 will bring with j,
the restoration of good and honest govern

The proceedings of the immigration Board
show that that organization is earnestly
laboring to promote the interests of the
state,and that no private ends or jobs are to be
advanced The Secretary, Major J. W Bond,
has shown an adaptability for the work which
is exceedingly gratifying. The Major is
thoroughly familiar with the resources of
Minnesota. He was the first to pub
lish an exhaustive treatise on the
State; he is an old citizen,
one of its pioneer settlers, gentleman of
varied information and culture; and, with
his accustomed energy and zeal, has entered
upon the duties of his position. The Board
and Secretary are working in harmony to
make the small appropriation cover all the
ground possible, and the only error which
they seem likely to make is in getting too
voluminous a pamphlet Forty eight pages
will do double the service of eighty pages.

SARAH A. SPENCER
Died March 20, 1873,
Aged SO years.

Z
Nearly $1,000 worth of floral tributes
were laid on the altar, the chancel steps, and
around the casket. The costliest piece was
broken column surmounted BY dove.
Nearly two hundred friends of the deceased
woman attended the funeral. Her only
relatives present were sister and some
nieces from Philadelphia. The Rev. A. G..
Kimber oficiated. Elaborate black bordered
programmes of the service were distributed
among those in the chapel. Crock of Ages"
''The Lord my Pasture shall Prepare and
"Brevis Vita," the opening stanzas Of the
great hymn of Abbot Clungy, were the hymns
sung. They were selected by Mrs. Spencer.
The body was taken to Greenwood and buried
on Battle Hill, in one of the highest points
in the cemetery. 1t was followed to the
grave by fifteen carriages, filed with mourn
ers. Mrs. Spencer desired hearse drawn
by four black horses, but her relatives
thought they woald make the cortege too
conspicuous, and that they would have only
two. The pail was borne by six men. The
flowers we're left on the grave.
Mrs. Spencer made great deal of money
in her life, and it was supposed by those
who knew her we'll that she died leaving q
great fortune. Her will was opened yester-
day afternoon in the presence of her execu-
tots, cOunsel ana reiatlVes, ana 10 their es-
constituent it was found that she was
possessed of only about $4,000 besides her
jewelry, which was very extensive. One of
her requests was $4,000 to the Trustees of
Greenwood Cemetery, to be used in erecting
handsome wall around her burial spot, and
to have marble bust of herself made, to be
put over her grave. She also bequeathed to
the cemetery $1,000 in perpetuity, the in
terest to be applied annually in decorating
her tomb. Her executors are j. Stalls, the
undertaken, who had the arranging of her
funeral, Charles F. Schirmer, and Francis
Bracht. To the latter she gave several thou
sand dollars.

The attack which the st. Paul Dispatch
of Friday last makes upon Mr.. A. P. Turkey
of this city, is low, cowardly and disgrace
to respectable journalism. The pretense for
this attack is the fact that MI. Turkey, as
agent for Messrs. Copperthwait & Co., has
issued postal card circular to school dis
tricts, Offering to sell certain school books
published by the house with which he is con-
nected, at prices closely competing with those
offered by Mr.. Merrill. The Dispatch does
not attempt to refute the statements made
by Mr.. Turkey, which if wrong might have
been done, but confines its reply to brutal,
personal assault, for which in the circular or

the inhuman treatment of patients in the

the nice modes of torture used on patients

themselves such big bugs that q Legislative

THERE seems no doubt that the railroads
can secure more for their investment by
uniting with the State Board of Immigra-
ton than by any other way. We are glad
to see that two roads have already agreed
to Join in the movement, and have no doubt
the others will find it to their advantage to
do likewise. The State appropriation is
small, but if the railroads will add few
thousand dollars, immense service will be
secured. AS the influx of people will very
largely result in advancing the price of rail-
to the course which wise business fore
sight dictates.

It is an illustration of somewhat unfor-

man. When he was here ten years ago as a
Congressman, he boarded at the Ebbitt
house. found the other day that the land
lord-a persuasive man in his way-did not
in that time come to know him by sight.
Two men, still in Congress, sat at the same
table through the larger share of thetwo ses-
sions; comparing notes recently, they found
themselves without positive memory of Mr..
Hayes. He had sat silent and gave no sign.
He lived in the same isolation at Columbus.
The same misfortune follows him here.

Mrs. LtnscoI,a's Present Residence.

L0ptAuSAcAu \A1A.) OOuLuols
A friend of the Journal in California
sends us the following from the Alta Cali
fo1niG, of San Francisco, with the request
to know if the statement is true:
ut is sad fact that Mrs. Abraham Lincoln
is living secluded life in an interior town
of France, and declines to return to America
lest she may again be placed in lunatic
asylum"
The only ground for the above statement
consists in the fact that Mrs. Lincoln has
chosen, for some months past, and still
chooses, SO far as we know, to reside in the
romantic little city of Pau, near the base OF
the Pyrenees, in southern France. The fact
that she is in almost weekly cordial and in
telligent correspondence with her friends in
this city would indicate that the rest of the
story is without foundation.
