American Beef and Zee


Last Sunday my repast consisted OF s
sirloin of American beef, washed down with
some German beer. The former | pro-
cured-xs American beef-irom the N.-
tional Food Company, in Oxford street /;
the latter was brewed by Messrs. Panton,
of Wsr.ham. Both the bsef snd the beer
were excellent. 1t was impossible TO per-
ceive any difference between the beef and
the best English sirioin, and it was equally
impossible not 10 perceive the difference
between the "Germsn beer" snd the heady,
supplying, and muddy stuff which is
termed English beer. German" beer is,
understand, being shipped largely from the
United States, both to France and The Z ist.
II, therefore, our English brewers will per-
sist in ignoring its advantages over their
compound, one more export trade will be
lost 10 us.

the uniforms OF foreign colors blended

curious crowds fill the streets to watch the
unusual stream Of brilliant e9uipages.
The populace laid a regular siege to the
Emperor's palace, and whoever entered or
emerged was greeted with a volley Of hur-
rahs. The chief buildings have been
draped or hung with greenery, and the par
ticulsr streets futter with streamers and
fi4gs. illumination desises have been
affixed here and there, ready to burst out
this evening into flaming mont grams,
eagles, portraits and other compliments, to
the imperial pair. A II day yesterday the
streets were blue with the modest corn
flower, the favorite plant of the Emperor.
At every corner portraits and
biographies of the monarch and his consort
were for sale and the street bands Of Berlin
put forth all their powers to tempt the
passers-by. Laurelled bus;s of the En-
peror and Empress are in every houre,
their portraits hang in every window, their
names sle mentioned with honor by every
tongue, and the only regre: he ard is that
fuller scope has not been given for the dis
play OF popular loyalty; but affection can

In all parts OF the empire, addresses are

that storm tracks should be traced weather

atares, etc, studied by the month and by
the year; Instruments at all stations COM
pared with each other; the general march
of weather phenomena over the surface OF
the globe noted; uniformity of observation
sought tor, and other procedures, ss has
long bean the customary plan on this side
oi the AtlantIc-there are evidences of pre-
gress in this.
On the subject of observations actualIy
simultaneous, first originated and practi-
csliy put 10 use by the United States in
lS1p, ani The basis OF observation on which
the greatest advances and success have
been made BY this country, it was resolved:
"fhst the Congress is of the opinion. that
the development OF simultaneous obserya-
tions contributes much to the progress of
meteorology, and that all works. which
are under taken in this direction, ought To
be encouraged"
The publications Of the signal Office, such
as the monthly weather review with syusp-
tic and international weather charts we're
referred TO with approval, and with the re-
commendatlon, that the Congress is Of
the opinion, that the publication OF similar
review would contribute much to the ad :
yaucement of meteorological study, and is
therefore recommended to be made for
Europe can be no higher compli
ment.
Finally, the Congress asks that the sta
tions, as Mount Washington and Pixies
lie k (,he highest station on the earth) may
be maintained, making even more abserva-
tions than those now attempted,
and that all the observations may
be published for the use of all meteo-
rologis,s everywhere, as an approval Of
those stations, the ntility of which was
once questioned-this is interesting.
1t is on these points only the acts of the
Congress have any reference to the meteor
olosizad work of the United States.
1t Is satisfactory to notice 80 much sp-
proval and adoption, and so general wish
for the continuance and extension OF it.
The Congress made no precticsl sugges-
tions as TO weather predictions in Europe,
a matter which, 1t would seem, might have
been arranged with very little difficulty.

Where will this increase of armaments in
Europe end? It's tendency is inevitably to
further WAYS and the destruction of human
life, 10 increase taxation, TO a decrease in
production, and consequent decrease in
consumption. No sooner does Bismarck
ind the German people submissive TO
further taxation, than he proposes TO in
crease the army, forsooth, because the Rus
silns AID French have increased their
armies. At present the burden of Euro
pean national debts amounts to the enor-

Eve dollars to Chicago," painted in big
black letters on white canvas was conspicu-
ously displayed in front of the Hannibal 4
ST. Joseph ticket Office, corner o Main
street and Missouri avenue, about o'clock
| Yesterday afternoon, ard in less than five
| minutes il was known in railroad circles
throughout the city that the passenger fight
TO Chicago had begun. Bob johnson was
happy, ss he had the "whip-row" for
time on the boys, but it didn't last long, as
in about five minutes the Chicago & Alton
folks saw the rate Of the Hannibal 4 st.
Joseph road, and about the same time the
ST. Louis, Kansas City q Northern did the
same thing, and the fight was booming"
A large crowd gathered in front of the
Missouri Pacific and North Missouri
Offices, Messrs. Lord and Fowler, the Gen.
erat Passenger Agents, being conspicuous
figures, while across the way T. Penfeld, of
the 'Old Reliable" looked serene and hap
py. Up to yesterday the fight had been
looked upon as one between the three St.
Louis roads, but when the rate TO Chicago
was lowered to Sl1, the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific, and Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy compsnies were in the rumpus,
and it wac then known that within twenty
four hours there would be trouble in thst
direction. 1t came little sooner than was
anticipated, however, and now that it hss
arrived there ia no telling where it will
stop. The Hannibal and c., g. Il Q. tickets
to Chicsgo are sold at the regular fare, ,Sl5.75,
with q rebate of S10.15 at the other end of
the line. This ia done to pre- vent scalpers
from getting hold of the tickets. Tickets
over the Chicago & Alton and ST. Louis,
Kansa. City 4 Northern roads, are cold at
$500 straight, without anything of rebate
nature. That the rate will be even lower
than S. 90 to Chicago is quite possible, and
many persons who would now 60 on at the
$500 rate are holding of until it reaches
81 90. The rate from st. Joseph, Atchison |
and Leavenworth will also stake a tumble"
until it reaches the notch named here, 90 |
the fight is one all along the line.
In the fight between the three St Louis |
roads tor st. Louis business, there il but |
little change. A scalper near the Union |
depot was offering tickets for So .5 yester- |
day afternoon, and he must have secured |
them from the roads at lower rate, and it |
now looks a. il q man could 20 from Kan
sas City to St. Louis for any figure he
might name, il being only Necessary for the |
traveller to cay that he could secure ticket
At one of the other Offices for three, four or
five dollars, As the case might be. All of
the roads express . determination to 6ght
it out, and each VOW they will sell tickets
to all Eastern points a. low - their rivals.

The Old Women of Mississippi.

In his response to the Mississippi editors
JEFF Davis says he has been "a friend Of
Mississippi in freedom and in chains
The period OF freedom" to which he refers
was when the white minority OF his State
held the colored majority in the chains OF
slavery, ard, by curious perversion Of
language, he means by the period of chains
the time after the chains were knocked of
and the bondmen were set free. 1t nearly
breaks his yenomous old heart to think of
emancipation. He intim ates that he il not
reconciled to the freedom OF the blacks,
and declares that 'he has never yet seen a
Southern woman reconstructed" The
Southern feminines can't become rsconciled
to the freedom Of the cOlOred race; they
almost prefer death to the relinquishment
of their grip on the bodies and souls of the
blacks, and JEFF feels about it the same as
the other Mississippi shemales.

1t takes pretty active man now a-day
to keep abreast of the tide of inventions
An Illinois genius is actually making hard,
wood lumber out of common wheat straw,
with all the effects of polish and finish
which is obtsinsbie on the hardest OF black
walnut and mahogany, at as little cost as
clear pine lumber can be made up for
The samples he exhibits are exciting much
attention among lumbermen. His process
il briefly az follows: He takes as many
straw boards "a are required for the thick
ness needed, passes them through a chem
ical solutions which sof;ens the fibre, and
then passes them through succession OF
rollers, which dries, hsrdens, and polishes
them, leaving them drv lumber ready for
use. The inventor aims that his process
prevents water-sosking and makes his
straw lumber combustibie only in a hot
fire.
