Maspecial meeting of the Woman's Chris
tan Temperance Union, held on Saturday
last, the condition of the Augusta Reform
Club was considered. In view of the state
athngs which have existed in that organi-
ition of late. and feeling that the Club was
losing its power tor efficient work in the tenn
perance cause, the ladies pluckily voted to
withhold the use of the hall from the Club
after that date. At the Monday evening ses-
sion of the Reform Club, it was decided to
adjourn sine die. On Tuesday the nion
voted that social temperance meeting
should be held under their auspices. at their
hall, next Sunday afternoon at the usual
hour. 1t is hoped that every one interested
IN the cause of temperance will be present.

Blaine's Picture Of Conkling.

sentative refused to give way to-the Maine
representative, saying mo, sir, i do not

member from Maine. not even 80 much
as to yield him the hoor."l
As to the gentleman's cruel sarcasm, I
hope he will not be too severe. The con-

within the last FIVE weeks, as members of
the House will recollecs, an extra, strut

fault of another. That gifted and satiri-
cal writer, Theodore TiIton, Of the New
York Independent, spent some weeks
recently in this city. His letters pub
lished in that paper embraced, with
many serious statements, little jocose
satire, part of which was the statement
that the mantle of the late Winter. Davis
had fallen upon the member from New
York. The gentleman took it seriously,
and it has given his strut an additional
pomposity. The resemblance is great.

= When it was known that Garfield
was elected there was naturally great re-
joicing in the Departments, for q large
majority of the employees are Republi-
cans, who felt that they had new lease
on their positions. AS an expression of
their qualification they resolved to deco.
rate the buildings in which they were
employed. The plan received the sane
tion and the hearty aid of the heads of
the Departments. When they were ar
ranging the flags in one room some one
prepared to fasten the end of piece of
bunting bearing the national colors to
the desk at which sat q young lady from
Mississippi. She refused to allow it to
be attached to her desk. A tempest in a
tea pot ensued over this foolish little
matter. The case was reported to Secre-
lary Sherman, and he, with q petulance
which surpassed that of the intractable
girl, dismissed her from her place, merely
for this little display of unreasonable
temper. The Mississippi delegation
signed petition for her reinstatement,
and personally urged the Secretary to re-
store her, but he stubbornly refuses to do
so, and the girl will have to wail for the
next Secretary, who may not be SO stern.

WITH HYDRoPHeBIA.--Neao York,
Feb. 9.-About a a.month ago three chill;
dren of Cbas. T. Lee, of Newark, were bit.
ten by large maslifs sdog belonging sto
Ferdinand eKrender,. a neighbor. The
dog attacked Minnie Lee, "a bright child
of nine years, and tore be flesh in several
places. Her, brother Charlie, aged ten,
bravely tried to save her. He threw his
arms about the dogs neck, and attempted
to pull him away from her. Finally, the
dog drew his teeth out of Minnie's left
cheek and fastened them in the boys arm.
The children got clear of the animal at
last, but fifteen minutes la'er Paul Lee,
and'older brother, was set upon by the
same dog and bitten in the hand. About
the same time another child, living on
Blum street, was bitten by Krender's
beast.
Krender refused.to allow the dog to be
killed, and threatened to shoot any
one who harmed it. He was after
ward indicted for keeping a dangerous
dog. and having been convicted, was told
by Judge McCarter that he must kill the
dog or 60 to prison. On Monday the
Court received proof that the dug had
been shot and thcreupon suspended sem
tence.
Atnoon yesterday Minnie Lee began to
act queery, and last evening she was wild
with hyd.opbobia. She frequently called
for water, and when it was brought,
dashed it away and leaped frantically
upon persons about her. Her parents
were overcome with grief. Mr.. Lee left
the house at o'clock without saying
anything, and was still unaccountably
absent more than two hours later. II
was feared that his mind was upset by
the shock.

BEER N EuRopE,-Some weeks ago

BEER IN EURopE.-Some weeks ago
we gave the reports of the commissioner
of internal revenue, the statistics Of the
production and consumption OF beer in
the United States for the fiscal year 1880.
The journal Of Applied Science enables us
to supplement these statistics with SINH
lar ones from Europe. England is the
largest consumer in Europe, having
26,2l4 brewcries, an annual produc. of
1,O5O,000 900 gallons, and consumption
per head of 81 gallons, equal 10 25G pints
per head per year. Germany has 29,60O
brewerics, annual product 9O0,OOO,0OO
gallons, annual per capita consumption
% gallons. The annual consumption
per capita in Austria is "a gallons, in
Belgium 3 gallons, in Denmark - gal
Ions, in Norway S gallons, &c. This
total of 2,7l6,500, 900 gallons of heer
made in Europe represents an annual
consumption of beer amounting 10 2l3,-
100000 bushels of barley-the food of
100000 people-and S7,000,0OO
pounds of hops. These figures tell their
own tale of the cost of our beverages.

Valuable Papers.

Townsend was right when he said that
Bennett could check on the Herald weekly
for $40, 900 and still have surplus left over
each week. The net profits of the Her
ald are notiess than $3.50 900 per annum,
end Benefits income is not far from one
million year. Even with such an in

nerve to plank down 100000 as a gift to
Ireland and then turn about and antago
nize Irish by fight on the Irish politi-
clans. An offer of S3,000,OO0 cash has
been made for the Herald, but 1 doubt if
$50, 100000 could buy it. If Bennett
does not marry soon it will become inter-

There has been a remarkable growth
in the value of newspapers in the past
twenty years, especially city journals.
Editors have cast off the vestment of pow
erty, abandoned the haunts aud habits of
Bohemia and become rich and respectable,
losing some crispness. perhaps, and n,erg-
ing brilliant characteristics into a gen.
eral family likeness, butgaining in wealth
and position. The shares of the Tribune
that were 81 900 par, are now worth S12,-
| 600, and are not for sale. The shares of
the Times are now worth $4,000, and
the paper could not be bought for ST.
100000, which has been offered. The
San is gold mine, and it is said clears
from $500 to $500 day on the sale of its
papers alone. TIE Herald no doubt,
loses money on its circulation, but its i'm
mense advertising makes tup. The Sun
could be published at large profit without
a line of advertising. Mr.. Dana's coun-
try residence and its belongings costs
nearly. 100000. George W. Childs, of
the Philadelphia Ledger, is worth about
$4,000, 900, and has given away hundreds
of thousands. Mr.. A. S. Abel, of the Bal
timore San, is worth SIS 100000. Beach
of the New York Sun left about half q
million, and Henry ]. Raymond left as
much more. Charles Rogers, Of the
Boston Jonrnal, died worth million
and a half, and William Swain, one
of the founders of the penny press, left
three millions behind him when he died.
Halleck, of the Journal Of Commerce, left
ovcra million. These are but few OF
the editors who have got into the higher
key.-R. w Grady in atlanta Constitu-
