0rOm OF the Javanese, which is not con-
sldered ripe until 1t has been buried in
an earthen vessel for several months
In the ground. The numerous tribes of
Central Africa prepare malt LIQUORS
from maize and millet, while the KAN
schatkans have succeeded in extracting
spirit from one of their native grasses.
Among the agricultural races, cereals
were not the only materials from which
alcoholic liquors were prepared; the
fruits OF various trees were pressed into
the service. Thus, in vine-growing coun-
tries, "dull drafts of barley wine' gave
place, at least among the well-tO-do
classes, to the more generous Juice of
the grape, while palm wine or turs from
which our word toddy is said to be de-
rived, became the favorite LIQUOR
wherever the palm-tree fourished. In
countries too cold for vine culture, but
where honey abounded, the latter seems
to have been preferred to cereals for
terment1ng purposes. Mead, the liquor
thus produced, was the favorite drink
of our Anglo-Saxon forefathers, and of
the people Of northern Europe general
ly, and it is still much used in Russia.
1t is possibly owing to the abundance of
honey IN South Africa, that the drink
reappears among the Hottentots, the
Katirs and the natives of Madagascar.
Honey is not however, the only animal
substance from which fermented bev-
erage is obtained. Among the purely
pastoral races, whose wealth consists
wholly of their hocks and herds, milk
has been turned to account for this pur-
pose. The Mongols and the Tartars
have from time immemorial prepared
an alcoholic drink known as koumiss,
from mares milk. This is placed in
bottle-necked vessels made of skins, and
sour milk of the COW is added as fer
ment. AS fermentation sets in the con-
tents of the skins are violently stirred,
and in few days the liquor is ready.
Koumiss has long enjoyed the reputa-
ton of being a remedy for consump-
ton, the tribes using it being, it is said,
remarkably free from pulmonary dis
eases, and, with view to it's applica-
ton incidentally for this purpose, the
manufacture of the Scythian beverage
has recently been started in England.

Trembling Lake.

A letter from Trembling Lake." in
the province of Quebec, Cam, says:
" The ground around Trembling Lake
does most certainly tremble and vibrate
at intervals, and we have been endeav-
oring to ascertain the cause. think it
is partly due to underground currents
Of water from some reservoir lakes in
the mountains, and partly to the dis
charge of the lake in thirty-feet fall at
the outlet. In camping here distinct
tremor is perceptible when lying with
the ca. to the ground every night, but
this is more perceptible when the wind
is from the southwest, or in the direc-
ton of the fall. The mountain sum-
NIT stands LIB feet above the level OF
the lake, and about 2,713 feet above

And folded. oh so lovingly.
Her tiny wings upon my breast
From morn till evenings purple tinge,
In winSome helplessnesS she lies,
Two rose leaves with a sllken fringe,
Shut softly on her starry eyes.
There's not in India 1oveier bird;
Broad earth owns nOta happier nest;
Oh, God Thou hast fountain stirred,
Whose waters never more shall restl
This beautiful, mysterious thing,
This seeming visitant from Heaven,
This bird with the immortal wing
To me, to me, Thy hand has given.
The pulse first caught its tiny stroke,
The blood it's crimson hue, from mine;
This life, which | have dared invoke,
Henceforth is parallel with Thine.
A silent awe is in my room

The future, with its light and gloom,
Time and eternity are here.
Doubts-hopes, in eager tumult rise:
Hear, oh, my God! one earnest prayer;
Room for nv bird in Paradise,
And give her angel plumage there.

II Was wise craftsmanship, for the rea-
son above Indicated, not to call q con-
stitutional convention Immediately upon
obtaining possession of the State gov
eminent !; and it is no less wise state
manship now to ratify the proposed con-
stitution. Coming events cast their
shadows before and we must, as mat
ter of common prudence, do all we can
to have consumated our final State re-
demption by the installation of a new
government of the people under con-
stitution of our own choice, before the
mighty issues now in preparation shall
commence to shake the very foundation
of our national fabric. The issue of con-
soiidation of the Federal government into
a central despotism, upon the ruins of
the United States constitution
is slowly but surely forcing itself
upon the American people.
Before the issues of the all-absorbing
presidential election of 1880 will be upon
us let US settle among ourselves, and
consign to the past, all the great ques-
lions of local government which have
distracted us for the past two years. The
new constitution being adopted, the
State government duly installed under it,
the debt question removed from the
arena of politics by the abortion of the
debt ordinance as q compromise measure,
without reference to the conflicting
opinions and desires We may all enter
tain on that subject-nlatter, wo can then
soberly and resolutely prepare for the
mighty events in store for us in the near
future.
