Cincinnati, locally known as the
Paris OF America, is a great place
for beer, hogs, aud music. Not
the least interesting Of its statistics
pertain to the FIRST Of these heads.
The annual report Of Superintend-
ept Maxwell TO the Chamber Of
Commerce shows that Cincinnati,
during the last year, produced 655
500 barrels Of beer, being an in
crease of about a hundred thou
sand barrels over the year previous.
But Cincinnati's capital and labor
flow over into the neighboring
cities of Covington and Newport.
Taking the three cities together,
we find combined yield Of 70s,-
800 barrels, or close upon twenty
two millions gallons. The home
consumption OF beer is computed to
amount to half a million barrels,
or over two hundred million glasses
of the usual size. This would allow
every man, woman, and child in
Cincinnati, even to the newborn
babes, considerably over a barrel
year. Besides this there is an ex-
port of two hundred thousands bar
rels.

Il should judge, them" the tat passenger
remarked, for it is observed that he still feels
a little sore about the ghost discussion, "that
you had been out to the moon a couple of
times this spring"
And you," replied the tall thin passenger,
" sought to walk around a billiard table twice
a day. But l was going to say" he added, as
though fearful that the discussion would as
sumo a religious character, "that as men
learn each other more thoroughly, they like
each other better, they endure each others
failings and whims and hobbies more patient
ly, they learn that the world is a great world,
full of good people, wise people, smarter PEG
pie than themselves. A man learns his own
general insigniticance by travel. Every day
he meets people who excel HIM in his own
particular pet ambition. If he is ambitious
to be considered a bad man, he finds men so
much wickeder than himself that he is
ashamed to think what al angel he is. If he
thinks himself a wise, scholarly ,uan, he
bushes to hear other men answering ques-
tons that only expose his W ignorance. If
he thinks he is funny, and is rather inclined
to be pround OF his wit, he meets men who

until the water fills the cavity, 1t will at once
show the temperature Of the water from

In regard to the deposits of native copper,
another agent must be taken into corsidera-
ton. The richest deposits are always found
between two strata of different densities, as
conglomerate and sandstone. Now it is well
known that between bodies of different ma
lures All electric current is always made.
These two great masses of different rock,
therefore, formed a great battery, with the
decomposing pole at their junction, and
water coming through the porous sandstone
contained sulphate of copper in solution,
which being easily d%ecomposed by a weak
current, the deposit was made between the
two strata, se-that native copper is the result
of natural electric ard chemical action. l.
has been thought that the copper was thrown
up in a dyke, but this cannot be, as there are
found in it nodules of silver, which would in
that case have formed an alloy moreover, it
is found associated with ~calcite, which is al
ways obtained from a solution.
