of the spice and pommegranite, and
where the evening zcphyrs that blew

away, lulfed him to sweet repose,
there dwell a King of noble lineage
and mighty renown, whose snow
white palace and it's enchanting en-.
virons were famous over all the
known world. Wealth had he in
such abundance that no wish of his
that could be purchased ever went
u1gratified. His flocks and herds
dotted the valleys and hillsides-his
sople were happy and cortented-

childish prattle and laughter that he
so longea' to hear in his palace. The

and the sweet innocence of r childish
face was and had been his daily
prayer to the Idol before whose gor-
geous image he made his morning
petitions. The peasants in their
lowly huts had children to bless
them, but the King in his palace was
childless and joyiess. As his mind
fed upon his grief he grew restless

The New Orleans custom house, the
largest in the world, was begun in 184S,
has cost $4.1SO,OOO, and is not done
yet. The massive walls are of Quincy
granite, and the interior is finished in
marble; it has one hundred rooms, with
nearly fifty miles of pipes of all kinds,
and is supplied with water from four
tanks in the attic, each holding thirty.
five thousand gallons. The height of
the structure, from pavement to cornice,
is eighty feet, but the plan for its COM
pletion contemplates a mansard roof,
which will, with the added story, make
the general elevation ninety.seven feet.
The proposed dome, which is to be
square in form, will be fifty-nine by
forty-nine feet on the sides, with height
of forty-one feet; so that the total out
side elevation to the top of the lantern
on the dome viii be one hundred and
eighty-seven feet.

The Louisville C0urisr-JourHaI says
the interoceanic canal business, boiled
down, means that one company organ
lied to construct a canal at one point is
mad because another company proposes
to construct a similar work at another
point on the isthmus, which links the
North and South American continents.
In order to stop the competition. one
company is trying TO make the people
believe that il is the traditional policy Of
the United States Government to shoot
anybody who attempts to build canal
through a foreign cOuntry-in this case
the United States Of Colombia. 1t is
only a squabble between two rival pri-
vate companies, and the Government of
the United States has nothing on earth to
do but to protect both of them from the
interference Of any power, as stipulated
in a treaty made with England in 1850
and resolutions Of Congress previously.

The consumption Of beer in this coun-
try, as shown by the internal revenue
returns, is largely on the increase. Dur
ing the last fiscal year taxes were paid
on Is. 347 900 barrels of malt liquor.
Each barrel contains 81 gallons, and the
consumption was, therefore, Ala, 900, 900
gallons, or 8.2S GALLONS per capita per
annum. This is equal to about $50
mugs of beer each per annum for every
man, woman and child in the country,
or 600 glasses for each male in the coun
try above the age of twenty one. In
1870 the consumption was less than half
what it is at present, or 6,574, 900 bar
rels, equal to an annual per capita con-
sumption of 5.29 gallons. Moralists like
Mr.. Gladstone, remarks the Baltimore
Sun, who has sometimes preached the
gospel of beer and light wines, might
take some consolation from these fig
ures if the consumption of spirits had
diminished alongside the increased
guzzling of beer, but the revenue from
spirits grows at least pari pGssu with that
from malt liquors. if not still more rap
idly, the tax of 80 cents a gallon on
whisky yielding this year SCI. 1876, sos,
against $50, $40, 285 last year. Beer re.
tails at cents per glass, and it follows
that at our present ratio of consumption
this business of beer drinking cost s. so
per capita to every man, woman and
child in the country, an aggregate of
1915, 100000, or one-fourth more than
the total expenses Of the United States
Government. The total annual expenses
of public schools in the United States is
$50, 529, 900, so that our beer drinking
costs At times as much as our public
education.

The Republican papers are generally
surprised that a State Senator elect
should acknowledge that ne paid money
to aid in his election, and that he should
decline to take the iron-clad oath de-
claring that he did not expend any
money in aid of his election. Most of
the Senators use money in the elections,
and take the oath also. But Mr.. Eckley
B. Cox, a Democrat, Of Luzerne county,
Pennsylvania, declined to take tie oath,
and gave up his seat in the Senate, openly
aYowing that he did use money. A rare
case of political conscience, and Mr.. Cox
should have due credit.
