On Monday of last week Judge Dyer, of the
United States Circuit Court at Milwaukee rem
dered decision which establishes q very i'm
portant principle. The suit was by the United
States government to collect the sum of
$36,57o 46, being per cent tax upon the earn
ings Of the elevators of the Chicago, Miwau-
kee and st. Paul Railway Company. The de-
Tense set up that the elevators were not part
of the road and therefore their earnings were
not liable to be taxed. Judge Dyer held that
these elevators we're part Of the equipment of
the road; that they were built an d operated to
increase the TRANSFORMATION facilities, of the
company that the earnings go into the gen.
eral treasury Of the, company like other ordi-
nary receipts, and that they are liable to taxa
ton. and gives judgment accordingly.
We have some disagreeabe information for
the large army of beer drinkers. The Miwau-
kee News publishes reports of the methods of
manufacture Of beer practiced, in which, that
papers alleges that the brewers of that city are
using corn and rice instead of malt and hops.
The reports apply individually to nearly every
brewer In Milwaukee-so famous for their
splendid beer-and suspicion 10 cast upon the
whole fraternity. The News claims to have OBJ
tanned it's material from the official records of
the revenue collectors office.
Among the specifications of the News are the
following: In six months Philip Altpeter pur-
chased $500 bushels of corn; in the same pc
riod the Philip Best breweries consumed 5462ls
saushes Of corn and u .3s2 pounds of rice Valen-
S8ne Blatz consumed 10000 bushels of corn and
b 81 as pounds of rice: the Milwaukee Brewing
/, ttprr3pany uses no grain but corn; Fred. Miller
arrieB nothing but rice: five other brewers we're
he's Yplied with rice malt by a concern specially
~ Voted to the manufacture OF that article.
Other cereal substitutes are also employed.
The quality Of beer made from rice, corn and
brewed article that 1t requires the admixture
of sundry ingredients to pass the counter felt
We are not advised whether any substitute for
hops has been devised.

Empty Churches.

The question of attendance upon
church services has been discussed
in various church bodies, and ii has
become a matter of alarm to the or.
thodox Christians. 1t is now being
debated in Cincinnati meetings held
by church ministers, from which it
appears that the congregations in
the churches of these preachers are
small; that the attendance is dimin.
ishing year after year; that it is less
to-day than ii was twenty years ago;
and that the outlook for the future
is not at all hopeful. The New York
Sun, which takes up the subject for
discussion, says; "lr the attendance
upon their churches continues TO di.
minish for the next twenty years at
the rate it has diminished for the
past twenty years, the costly odifccs
will have TO be given up to the owls
and the bats and the bittorns, or
turned to other uses than those for
which they were built.
But why is the attendance upon
these Cincinnati churches dwind-
ling? They are costly buildings

The press throughout the country
for some time has been dcvoting
a large share of space to the subject
of tho protection of sheep, and in
some Of the State Legislatures spe-
cial ltws have been passed for the
purpote of promoting to a greater
extent the interest of WOOL growers,
and the interest Of the public at
large IS we'll. That sheep raising
and wool growing is destined at some
time, perhaps in the near future, to
become Of great Importance to the
various sections of the country most
peculiarly adapted to the develop
ment Of this branch of husbandry,
no one can reasonably deny; and in
view O. the splendid field which our

barrels of this oil, from Cox's salt
well, us he now remembers; and in
pursuance Of this contract, put the
negro hands at the furnace to work
collecting oil from the surface of the
salt water tanks. In this manner
he secured eight barrels of oil, which
was shipped to the merchant at
Louisville. This oil, no thinks, was
tho first oil ever shipped by the bar.
