The Germans drink much beer, but not more than some who are not Germans The production of beer in the German empire amounts to 92 quarts per capita, but large proportion of this beer is exported. In Aus tria the amount is 34 quarts per inhabitant. In Great Britain 115 quarts of very strong beer is the ratio. In the United States the beer per inhabitant is 40 quarts. The con sumption of malt liquors is increasing faster here than in any other country. The con sumption, however, is chiefly limited to the northern States. South of the Ohio river there are few breveries

The effort to make the brewers give more detailed statement of the materials used in their business seems to have entirely failed of it's object, Commissioner Evans having de cided that the law on this point leaves the brewer an option whether to make thestate
 ment or not. Mr. Louis Schade, the editor of the Washington Sentinel, is the attorney of the brewers association, and as such prints in his newspaper full report of his interview with Commissioner Evans on this subject few days ago, in which, after the two had discussed the law on the subject, the commissioner, aceording:to MT. schade. an nounced that the answering or filling out of the material account colamn in the new monthly return form was entirely optional with the brewer, and that no collector could

The Supreme court of New York has de. cided that the "delay olause'' which the Western Union Telegraph company affixed to it's blanks during the recent strike did not mean anything. The waiver exempted the company from the responsibility which was portion of it's return for it's incorporated privileges and rights, and no individual has the power of relieving the company from what is portion of it's corporate functions under its charter and franchises. Now, we suppose, some people will be sorry that they did not take full advantage of the Western Unions dilemma. s4a |.

VIM Can't We ?

l really think it is shame
A woman can't propose,
Instead OF waiting the caprice
Of obstinate young beaux;
Our foolish custom ne'er allows
A tlmid maid to choose,
But she must listen TO mans choice,
And take him, or refuse.
They tell us when the leap-year comes,
This privilege we have;
But Ills an idle tale, VOW
We're nothing but mans slave;
wisn some one would make law
To take effect direct,
That men should henceforth sit and wait
And woman should select.
Why, if a woman now declines,
If asked sometime or otter,
And thus lets one proposal slip,
She ne'er might get another.
But man can poke his nose around,
And pick where he's inclined to,
Or he car let the matter pass,
Just as he has mind to.
II clearly is shameful thing,
To say the lssst about it,
That man alone should have choice
Male biped', do you doubt it
II custom gives the van to man,
Why don't they do IL cir duty,
And pop the question sans de ldi,
70 every smiling beauty?

LAREDO, TEXAS, Aug. 10, 1888.
To the MINING JOURNAL:
AS have not as yet tcld you any
thing of Laredo, or Mexico, as far as
1 have seen, I will try aud do 80.
In the first place, l am compelled
to notice the fact of this being very
dreary, unattractive country no
grassy meadows, but in their stead
great sandy wastes, with Lere and
there little grove of mosquito
bushes, which every Northerner who
comes here takes for peach orchards.
Even in the town there are 70 large
trees and flower garden ia a luxury
that is rarely eve: seen below Austin,
on account of the long intervals be-
tween rain falls. The only places
where there is vegetation to amount
to anything is in what the Mexicans
call the "Mesa" or "Masa." There
hundreds, and in some insta ces
Thousands of feet above the surround
ing country, the rich, heavy grass
grows twelve to twenty inches long
and cool streams OF water, formiu &

mother of our race must have FIST

thereby making her vain, which van.

NIT to her sex then running off over
the prec'pitous sides Of this almost
inaccessible Paradise to be lost in the
dry, parched earth below. 1t is a
wonderful freak of Nature, thus tc
place her most needed stores almost
beyond reach.
If you will allow ne the space
will relate quite romantic incident
as told to me by man who has visit
ed the mesa" many times. The son
of an old Mexican was gay "Catal
lena" and made love to the black-eyej
''Senorltas" ermiscuouoly. OF Ct III sr
beirg young, handsome and possessing
fabulous wealth, he, to USE 4 SLANG
phrase. "made lots OF mashes. His
last conquest, however, proved bis
downfall. He had captured his lady
love, much against the wishes Of her
Parents, and to get her away beyond
the hope OF rescue, he dptermi ned tc
take heI to beautiful place he had
away up on the "Maas." The path
10 this spot is winding one, handy
fit Tor a turro, or Mexican donkey, te
clImb, being go steep that at so me
points you can rol stone over t,as
edge and 1T will fall and strike any
one coming up from below. He Sc.
lected rather dark nj. ht, and with
his horse, a splendid imported animal
OF hish mettle, be repaired to the ap-
pointed place, had his inamorata get
behind him and away they went for
their new home. But, alas, it was
written that they should never reach
it. In urging his stesd up the path
the poor animal lost his footing aud
with his twofold burden fell with a
shrek almost human which, the ma
tives say, still echoes over the plains.
Next morning some herders found
their terribly mutilated bodies and
conveyed them to the nearest town.
They were then taken to the place
where they thought to live SO happily
and placed beneath the waving grass
Pardon for having made such a long
story, but really. hadn't the heart to
cut it any shorter.
