They have no civil damage act in
Germany, but even there the necessity
OF some restriction upon the sale of al
cohoic liquors to such as have not suf-
ticient discretion to use them properly
appears to be conceded. In various dis
trlcts, by authority of general instruc-
tions proceeding from the Government,
the police have prohibited tavern keep
ers from selling or otherwise furnishing
to minors under the age of Is, appren-
tees, or persons mentally deranged or
weak, any distilled spirituous liquors
Of whatever description, and a similar
prohibition will apply to sales to con-
frmed drunkards, whenever the names
Of these latter have been given to the
iquor-venders with proper caution.
Disobedience of these orders will be
punishable by fine and imprisonment;
but they are not intended to apply to
the sale of beer, the consumption of
which has never been found to cause
injury to anybody. The police orders
are to be posted in a prominent place in
every tavern. This news must make
German liquor sellers in America feel
less prosecuted and forlorn.

WILLIAM r. COOPER. the American
orger, appears to have got up sensa-
lonal scene when he received his sem
ence the other day in London. He
'tretched out his hands imploringly.
Tept, moaned, described the beautiful
lome" he had stolen, and then cried !:
MY crime is the greater because my
wife would have followed me to the end
Of the earth, and would have shared my
Vast crust of bread in poverty" The
court seemed to agree with him, for it
calmly sentenced him to five years
penal servitude, with the understanding
that the high toned plunderer would
then be turned over to the United
States.

Another Big Wheat Crop Predicted.

Wheat seeding in Southern Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio is completed. Never
before in the history Of the country was
SO large a crop planted. The area in
Illinois and Indiana is from 80 to 100
per cent. greater than that of any pre-
vious season. The appearance of the
young grain is at present very promis-
ing, except in a few localities where the
Hessian fly has made it's appearance.
The weather has been very favorable SO
far-the drought not being sufficient to
affect the growth of the grain. Should
the crop winter well, and meet with no
drawbacks in the spring, the yield of
wheat in the Central West in 1880 will
be far greater than that of the present
year. The present high price of grain
and the prospect of continued heavy
foreign demand have induced farmers
greatly to increase their usual breadth
of territory for wheat, and neglect other
grains. Cincinnati Commercial.

We w Kentucky hey but one hone

We w Kentucky hev but one hone
now. That hope is Gen. Butler, of
MASSACHUSETTS,. Eff he kin git that State
to elect him on the infiashen tikket. we
kin git enuff holt on the public to make
some Roadway for another campane.
Butler has suthin to go on, which we
didn't hev in Ohio. In Ohio the crops
wuz all good, and the people wuz pros
porous. Their wuz no frost to kill the
corn, and Their was no murr1n among
the cattle. But in MASSACHUSETTS, Their
hez bin lots of defalcashens, and conse-
kent distress. Butler will make the
most NV this. Every CASHIER that hez
stole the money Nv his corporasben.
and got away with the plumber, will be
charged up to the Republican party,
and Benjamin will charge it all to John
Sherman and the present polisy.
IF ther is few more defalcashens in
Fall River, | feel tolerably shoor that
Butler will be elected. Down here in
the Corners we prayed for a frost that
would kill the corn in Ohio-we never
60 to sleep now without prayin for more
defalcashens in MASSACHUSETTS,. Dim
ocrisy kin hope for nothin onless there
is distress. Prosperity and Dimocrisy
don't hitch at ali. Wat we want is
suthin solid in the way Nv distress that
will make people clamor for change.
The eyes Nv Kentucky is onto But
Ter. To Butler, the only aggressively
wicked man in the nashen, Kentucky
looks appeinly. The great Butler is
maxim the only greenback fite that is
worthy Nv the name, and maxim that fite
in the very face Nv the bloatid bond
holders Nv Moo England, wich is pizen.
We NV the Cross Roads hev forgiven
Butler. We are magnanimous. We
hev forgotten that he ever drawed his
sword agin the Confederacy. $50 fur
ez efeks went we hewitt much to for
give, which makes the task easy.) We
hev forgiven him for his brootality in
freein our niggers, and we forgive him
for whatever aid he wuz to the Radi-
kels at the various times he hez actid
with EN-. Inesmuch ez he alluz did EN-
more harm than good, we overlook all
that and take him to our buzzum.
For Gen. Butler is doom the work
that the Corners most need. Butler is
the champion Nv infashen, and the only
man left which is actilly maxim a serious
fite in favor Nv Unlimited greenbax.
Gen. Butler must be to us, in this
day and generashun, wat the niggers
wuz afore the war. He must take the
place Nv them niggers, and furnish us
funds. The Cross Roads holds out it's
hands to Butler and demands NV him
relief.
Greenbax we must have. We want
enuff Nv 'em to slackwater Secession
run, to make it navigable in the win
ter, and to provide fur pumpin' wells on
the banks to make it navigable in the
summer. We want custom house and
a postoffice here. Just ishoo the green
bax and we will sejest ways enuff to set
'em into cirkelashun.
Go on, Butler, and kerry Massychoo-
sits. The eyes Nv the South is onto
700. Sittin' in Bascom's, without the
price Nv the most modest quencher, we
pray for yoor success. The entire
South is prayin' for yoor success.

A Letter. Carrier Who Couldn't.

One Of the letter-carriers, who has a
district in the northern part of the city,
was yesterday bustling along Woodward
avenue at his best gait, when he met
portly, motherly woman, who halted
him and asked:
"Be you acquainted all around
town."
" Yes'm," was his hurried reply.
"You know where the City Hall Mar
ket is, then?"
"Yes'm."
"Well, I'm in a peck of trouble.
This morning I sent down by my old
man after tomatoes, onions, red-pepper
and caulifower, to make chow-chow.
He sent up everything but the onions,
and L can't go ahead until I get 'em.
Nov, you look sort O. honest, and if you
would only take Is cents and run down
for the onions I'd take it as a great favor
indeed"
" Why, ma'am, I couldn't think of
It'll" he replied.
"Couldn't do just that much to oblige
a woman who has always been kind to
boys?"
:" I'm letter-carrier, you see, and"
"I'll hold the sack while you are
gone. Come, now, that's good boy.
Remember to get the small white on
ions, and if there's any change left over
you can keep it"
He tried to convince her how utterly
impossible 1t was, but as he hurried on
she called after him:

man! I don't believe you'd even bring
in my ice if I should promise you a

A Biscuit Race.

Among the countless forms of walk
ing and running matches now in vogue,
there is one which was a great favorite
at sea in the day of long voyages, and
still frequently to be met with. Thirty
pieces of ship biscuit are laid along the
deck yard apart, and the man who can
pick then up and bring them back to
the starting point, one by one, and in
the shortest time, wins the day. Avery
well-contested biscuit race" of this
kind lately took place on board South
second-class stewards. The first who
started, slim, active young fellow of
%, was the favorite with the majority,
but some of the knowing ones !" shook
their heads at his commencing with the
nearest pieces, and thus leaving the
hardest work to the last. He made good
time, however, though showing visible
signs Of exhaustion toward the end.
But his wary opponent, knowing him
self to be the weaker man, flew at once
to the far end of the line, thus making
each successive journey shorter than the
last. As the race neared it's close the
excitement became intense. Many of
the passengers shouted and gesticulated
as eagerly as the sailors themselves;
and the motley crowd swaying to and
fro in the lantern light-night having
already fallen-the shouts of encour-
agement from one side and outspoken
yidicule from the other, the loud and
frequent appeals to the time-keeper, and
the flying figure of the runner, in his
striped shirt and jaunty white panta-
looms, leaping, turning, and darting
backward and forward like a snake,
made very picturesque scene.
The second man proved the conqueror,
but only after hard struggle, his time
being 8 minutes, Is seconds, to his an
tagonist's 9 :25.

The United States Economist says:
+. constant and steady export of wheat
nd breadstuffs will occur throughout
ne fall and winter months, and as the
9ason advances it would not be sur
rising if prices would gradually grow
rmer. It is unfortunate for the gen
raj welfare of the country that great
perators in grain manipulate the mar
.et in wheat as they do stocks in Wall
treet. By concerted action they can
orner wheat as they do railroad stocks
nd thereby unsettle values to the
lindrance OF legitimate business.

written by Abd-el-Kader when Mr..
Charles Warren Stoddard, few weeks
ago, requested an autograph in Arabic
from that warlike Algerine chief, who is
now, with his Moorish retinue, an exile
in Damascus. Abd-el- Kader, one of the
few chiefs of pure Arab blood who is
permitted to wear the SACRED green
turban of Mohammed," was the man who
fought the French so hard, only to be
conquered in part, but appeased alto

from the French Government. Mr.
Stoddard found his man in palace of
purple and gold, and proceeded TO inter
view him for the benefit of the San
Francisco Chronicle. Add wore loose
robe of blue silk, lined with purple, and
a scarlet "tarboosh, wound with white
turban. His feet were bare, the nails
being polished in pink, as are the pearls

like plume spapgled with diamonds,

could not extricate itself. In this man
