Beer In New York.

Speaking of drinking, one is led to notice
the brewers strike, which has been waged
with deep intensity on both sides. The
workmcn justly complain of low pay and
long hours but it is not probable that their
strike will be success, the cool weather
being unfavorable to such n movement.
The demand is checked, and the master
brewers arc less in need of help; but ono
of tho consequences is large quantity
of spoiled beer. The brewers last year
made money very rapidly, but wet June
Is damper to this class in more than
ono sense of the word. A heated
term is worth 1000 u day to our brewers,
since it makes that difference in tho amount
of lager guzzled by the perspiring crowd,
The beverage, however, only increases thirst
and hence the moro one drinks the greater
his appetite. The brewers use ingredients
for this very purpose, and this leads to that
immense consumption which occurs during
the summer. There are those who can take
down from three to five gallons a day, but
while this class of patrons is highly valued
by the brewers they are decidedly unpOpu-
lar with life insurance companies. GORE

One of the contractors on the California
Southern Railroad is reported to be employ

Ia practically new experiment, although
for more than century Indian labor has
boon occasionally resorted to on the Pacific
coast, chiefly in agricultural occupations at
points where the services of white men were
not to be obtained. 1t is, besides, an inter
esting and hopeful experiment, for it may
be predicted, with reasonable degree of as
surance, that, AZ u means of civilizing the
Indian, daily and systematic work for which
he is promptly paid and to the faithful per-
formance of which he is strictly held will
accomplish more than treaties and training

which have prescribed his employment, the

How Men Swear.


A bartender always takes the opposite
view of everything. The other day Mr. Gal
lagher was in Court-street saloon and tip
ped his chair too far back and went over
and jammed his head into Il cuspidor and
was considerably hurt. The incident an
noyed him, and when he got up he swOrc
literally, and the bartender told him he
hadn't ought to. Gallagher said that under
the influence of sudden pain five men out of
every six would swear The bartender
didn't believe it, and the result was bet.
Gallagher got an ordinary brick and heated
it fearfully hot and placed it on the marble
bar. Now brick doesn't show heat, and
therefore it was not surprising that when
Mr. Cuff came in and saw the brick on the
bar he should pick it up. He, however,
showed no disposition to put it in his pocket
or do anything else with it. He Immediately
laid it down and made frantic gestures and
said number of wicked things. Then in
came butcher, who also picked up the
brick and put it down. He looked around
savagely, and after freeing his mind of some
unholy sentiments said he hoped he
shouldn't SEQ anybody laugh, as he preferred
not to be under the necessity of doing murder
The next victim was q Chinaman, and he
spoke every word of English no knew, and
two-thirds of what he remarked would have
been improper in Sunday school. He join
ed Mr.. Cuff and tho butcher in sucking his
fingers and watching for the next chap. He
came in the form Of a prominent politician,
and as he placed the brick upon the bar his
language sounded like after-clection talk.
The bartender began to be nervous, but the
next man merely pranced about and wildly
waved his hands without saying word. 1t
appeared that he was Il dumb man. So the
next man would decide the bet. He came.
He was young man from the lumber dis
tricts of Maine and didn't look like talka-
tive chap But when he got hold of the
brick his jaw seemed to become loose, and
the way he blasphemed even shocked par
rot, and the butcher said he would give $75
if he could talk like that. Gallagher had
won. He rose up and explained the affair.
The six, headed by the young man from
Maine, started for him as one man. They
pulled him all over the place, brushed
the ceiling with him, used him for
II football, threw him down cellar, brought
him up again, tore his clothes of and made
him drink water. They said they wanted
to see if it would make him swear. 1t did

New York, 30.-Certain Wall street

said, would con6ne itself TO passenger

make speed combined With safety, Its
chief aim. Among those who were con-
verssnt with the plans Of the company
and who had given the matter attention,
there was . universal expression Of full
faith in the enterprise, in its practicable
ity and the intentions Of its projectors TO
carry it through. Jacob Lorillsrd is the
head of the new project. The idea ID his,
and he lie bringing all his energy TO bear
in its favor. He has almost unlimited
capital OF his back. Lorillard says the
line is to be called the American Express
Line, and passengers are to be carried
across in five days. The line will be
ready by the spring 1888, but not before.
Our vessels are yet to be built and the
greater part of our arr ,ngem: n Is in other
matters are still incomplete, but by the
date l mention, we shall certainly be in
perfect readiness. Our success is assured,
so far as capital goes. We shall have .

place bonds, which will enable us TO
avoid onorous taxation from the city.

The Navy.

Washington, 1.-The annual report of
the secretary Of the navy was made pub
lie to-day. Secretary Hunt, at the out
set, calls the attention of Congress to
the neglected condition of the navy, and
says that unless some action be held in
its behalf it must soon dwindle. to insig-
nifcance. He devotes considerable space
to the consideration of reports of bureau
officers Of the navy, and generally en-
dorses the recommendation submitted
BY his eubordinstes. Referring to the
report of the naval advisory board, See
rotary Hunt recommends the views of
the majority Of the board as worthy the
attention of Congress. There is in these
reports SO slight a difference by few
memb ers of the board as TO justify the
report being considered as unanimous.
Secretary Hunt estimates that 5000, 49,
116 will be needed to defrsy the expenses
OF The department for the fiscal year
ending June Both, 1883.

German Gatherings.

Berlin, 3O.-It is thought that Bis
marck's frequent attempts to prove the
liberal majority is not the real voice OF
the couptry and his decided GOODNESS to
the clficals, show the dissolution of the
Reichstsg is probable after to-day's pro-
ceedings. In the Reichstsg, doubt is no
longer entertained that the clerical and
conservative coalition has been con-
cluded.
In the Reichstsg, 10 day, Bismarck re-
plying to question by Prof. Virschow,
progressiat tssid: In providing for Prus-
sian representative at the Vatican he was
guided by the interest of state business.
Should general interests assume promi-
nencee, as the appointment Of German
repres NATIVE there was contemplated,
the time was not opportune to make q
slatem ent in regard to the negotiations.
Prof. Virschow said progressiets, when
they Joined Kulturkampf, had hoped
that Bismarck would be more consist
ent and would definitely liberate schools
from clerical influence. Bismarck de-
clared the reprosch unjustifsble. Even
if he were really inclined TO continue the
struggle he would, he said, be hindered
by the fact that his former allies had de-
serted and driven him into the arms Of
the centre party.
