Beer BY the Union GaIlons.
New York Tribune.

AVN AUih AIiDuups
From statistics which have been
recently compiled by the officials Of
the United States Internal Revenue
Department, and which has beer sup
piled by General Max Weber, Collector
Of the Third District in this city, it
appears that during the year 1881, &c.
QUO, 900 gallons of beer were consumed
ia this country, and $780, 900, 600 on the
continent OF Europe and in Great
Britain aud Ireland. The total value
of this beer may be compu ed AT not
lessthan $3.50, 90 .,1J3, and If the Who'll,
quantity England, Scotland aud Ire
land used as much a. 2S2 900 900 gal
lo1S,or nearly Jne-third, he population
drinking at the rate OF about eighi
and a half Salinns each per annum
In Germany 2l6, 200. O00 gallons wer
consumed, at he Tele OF five and a hal
gallons per head The United Strait,
stands third on The list. the ayer.g
being about two aud a Mlf gallons fo
each inhabittnt. The consumption
in Austria amounted to 72,0OO,U0n
gallons, or at the rate OF two gallons
per head. Belgium, considering tn
lumber OF its inhabitants. drinks
m IRE beer than any other Dati n 10
the world. Her people swallow, on
the average, nine gallons Of beer each.
per annum, and the total amount used
last year III the country was 4e,0l0
00O ,llons. France Consumed exactly
T. Q same quantity but, her polullt o.,
Icing six times That o Belgium, ca b
of her Inhabitants drank ouly abuu
one and one bali gallobs France, II,
fact, drinks less beer per bead than
any other Of the great nations.
Russia, which consumed onl
100000 gallons, alone excepted
Even in Denmark the consumption is
at the rate OF three and a halt gallons
per head The sun spent for beer IT,
1881 by the various countries may be
roughly computed as follows: Great
Britain, $72,000,0 900; Germany, 500,
wv, 900; United States. $4,000, 900;
Austria, $40, 000, 600; Belgium, Sl4.
QUO, 900; France, Sl4000,000 aud
Russia $500, 1000. The Belgian, there
lore, may be considered as the great
est beer drinker; and this is as it
should be. for Belgium is the home of
the modern system of brewing. 1t
should be borne 10 mind. however,
that since little beer. comparatively
speaking, is consumed in Scotland aud
Ireland, where whisky is the national
beverage, England, if taken without
them, still maintains her old pre-
eninence, John Bull'a family drink
ing, probably, at the rate of at least
ten gallons per head per anDum.

the recen' frightful accident on the Hud-
son River road should produce at least the
good effect OF an immediate passage of the
bill, now before Congress, requiring that
axes be carried in every passenger ear on a
railroad. 1t is common argument that in
the event OF car being over urnei or
thrown off the track by collision The in
mates can get out by niersly opening door
or climbing out of window, bat the truth
is that when any stfucture-car, Carriage or
hCuse-recaives a severe shock or strain it
is almost impossible afterward to close any
door or window that was open, or to open
one that was closed at the time of the acct
dent. Some of the people who we're roasted
TO death on Friday nigh. might have saved
themselves had there been anything in the
cars with which to force an exit; but the
windows OF a drawing-ro0m car are geuer-
ally of plate-2lass, which do;s not readily
yield TO the human fist, and there was no
other part of the through which to break
A law by Congress can eff ct only such rail
road trains engaged in interstate COM
merce, but the placing of axes even in
through trains woul ! in the end save many
lives that are good fr something more than
to be lost in illustration of the heartless
plrsimony of corpoI ations. Besides, the
passage of the law ri rTei to would excite
a little attention 10 such State legislatures
as are not wholly owned by railroad men
The most prominent victim of last weeks
disaster was a legislator, we'll founder
of the company in whose elegant but badly
equipped car he was roasted TO death.

Little Red River.

Captain Thomas III. Hamburg, of the corps
of engineers exploring this stream, has made
a report of progress to the war department,
through Chief Engineer Wright, of which the
following is the substance: ''The Little Red
river is a small stream that rises in the west
ern portion of Van Buren, county, Arkansas.
Its course is in an easterly direction through
said county, and southeast through White
county to its junction with the White river,
about twenty miles below Augusta, Arkan-
saS. The stream is of no importance what
ever in navigable point OF view until we
reach the vicinity Of the town of Searcy,
situated two miles wet of its right bank and
about forty eight miles from Its mouth.
Steamboats, have, on one or two occasions
during very high stages of water, assembled for
this distance. AS general thing the stream
cannot be said to be navigable above the
to Sn of JudsoDia, thirty -nine miles from its
junction with the White river. In consider
ing the present improvement of this stream,
all above this point may very properly be
omitted, for the reason that no improvement
in its navigable qualities could be made
without a resort to some species OF slack
water structures, the expense of which
would exceed the total value of all the COM
merce that would be transported over it for
many years. Even this would not insure con-
tinual navigation, as the bed of the stream is
not unfrequently capable of being crossed
dry-shod- From Judsonia down it is pos
sib,e, within justi6able limits of expense, to
put the stream in a condition to be navigated
for from seven 10 eight months during the
year; and to West Point, 80 miles from its
mouth, it can. perhaps, be made navigable
throughout the entire year. The backwater
from the White river at its ordinary stage ex-
tends to this point, and during its high water
to Judsonia. The principal distractions to
the navigation OF this part of the stream are
snags and overhanging trees at intervals,
throughout the entire distance, a sand-bar |
below West Point, and a shoal (Atley's) be.
tween West Point and Judsonia. Il is esti- |
mated that SIC, 100 will be required to re-
move these distractions and place the river in |
a condition which will suffice for the present |
needs of its commerce"
