Beer Drinking in the United States.

From tho Quarterly journal u Instricty
For some years past decided incli-
nation has been apparent all over the
country TO give up the use of wbiskcy
and strong alcohols, useing rs n sub.
stitute beer and bitters and other com
pounds. This is evidently founded on
the idea that beer il not harmful and
contains large amount of nutriment; !;
also that bitters may have some medi-
ciDal quality which will neutralize the
alcohol it conceals, etc. These theo-
ries are without confirmation in the
observations OF physicians and chem
lists where either has been used for any
length of time. The constant use of
beer is found to produce n species Of
degeneration of all the organism, pro.
found and deceptive. Fatty deposits,
diminished circulation, conditions Of
congestion, and perversion of function
al activities, local inHammations Of
both liver and kidneys, are constant
~ present Intellectually, slupor
amounting almost to paralysis arrests
the reason, precipitating all the higher
faculties into mere animation; sensu-
al, selfish, sluggish, varied only with
paroxysms of anger, that are senseless
and brutal, in his general appearance
the beer drinker may be the very pic
ture of health, but in reality he Is the
most incapable of resisting disease. A
slight injury, severe cold, or shock TO
the body or mind, will commonly pro-
woke acute disease, ending fatally.
Centre Democrat. [volume] (Bellefonte, Pa.) 1848-1989, 1879-06-26

Compared with inebriates, who use diff.
fcrent forms Of alcohol, he is more in
curablc, and more generally diseased.
The constant use Of beer every day
gives the system 10 time for recupera.
ton, but steadily lowers the vital for
ces; IL is Our observation that beer
drinking in this country produces the
very lowest forms Of inebriety closely
allied to criminal insanity. The most
dangerous class Of tramps and ruHians
in our large cities are beer drinkers.
1t Is asserted by competent authority
that the evils of hercdity insanity are
most positive in this class than from
alcoholics. If these facts are well
founded, the recourse to beer as Il sub
stitute for alcohol, merely. increases
the danger and fatality following.
In bittcrs We have "a drink which
can never become general; but its
chief danger will be in strengthening
the disordcred cravings, which later
will develop positive disease. Pub
lie sentiment and legislation should
comprehend that all forms Of alcohol
are more or less dangerous when used
steadily; and all persons who use them
in this way should come under santa
ry and legislative control.

Lincoln said to General Steadman,
fresh from the bloody field of Chick
amauga, "O,v rebel friends ,co,tid hare
had their flag floating at the Capital"
1t was the Democrats of the North and
West, in the army rs private soldiers,
that saved the union cause. Without
them the rebellion would have been
successful. Whole regiments went to
the war without n Republican in the
ranks. Democratic New York city
sent more soldiers to the field than Re
publican Massachusetts, and while
there were few Republicans in the
New York regiments, the Democrats
had more than their fair proportion
in those of Massachusetts,. Governor
Curtin tells of a flag he presented to
regiment from the Democratic tenth
Legion" of this State, in which there
were not single Republican in the
fourteen hundred men in the ranks.
They were all Democrats.
The Republican politicians at Wash
ington and in the States controlled the
bestowal of honors, and his being n
Democrat was bar to an officers pro-
motion. Armies were sacrificed rath-
er than success should crown the head
of Democratic General. When it
came to award contracts, and the quar-
termaster, commissary and paymaster
places, with there contingent stealages,
only Republicans were found fitting,
and it is these heroes who have been
most industrious in cultiyating the
idea that cold Chickamauga" annihi-
lated at Columbus, that the Rcpubli-
can party is the only loyal party in

4 Broken Heart.

Prom the Denver Ncvs
Miss Prince was the only daughter
of Pittsburg merchant and two years
ago was welded 20 Mr.. Savage, of Bal
timore. Six hours after the ceremony
the train upon which they had started
on their bridal tour was wrecked and
the husband Of less than day was
killed. The shock of the terrible ca
lamity robbed the young wife for a
time of her reason. From this mental
death she recovered to 20 into a slow
decline. All the blossoms of her life
were withering, and the world once 50
robed in beauty and delight became n
prison from which her spirit longcd to
be free. They took her across the
sea, but the panorama of scene and in
cident had no power TO renew the love
of life, and the young thing faded as a
flower fades. At last they took her to
the south of France, and there, amid
the bloom of flowers--on the spot
where Petrarch once sang songs TO FL
vira--in the home of Leonardo da
Vinci's exile--this fair American girl
found the peaceful quiet Of the grave.
Our correspondent who relates the In
cidcnt draws vivid picture of the
sorrowing family around the death-bed.
