Whisky in Bond

Attached to every distillery is a ware
louse of which the government, through
United States storekeeper, takes ex-
elusive charge. On every door is a
patent government lock- and the
storekeeper keeps the keys. At the end
If the warehouse, nearest the distillery
proper, is partitioned off the .cistern
room' that contains tanks, into which
the whisky runs direct from the still.
From these tanks it Is drawn off into
barrels in the presence of the store
keeper and the United States Gauger.
The barrels so filed are rolled into the
other portion of the warehouse, and q
warehouse stamp" bearing the date
of the distiliation, is affixed to each.
The whisky thus barreled can, under
the revenue laws, remain in this ware
house under government lock and key
for three years. Then the whisky is
said to be ''ip bond" At the expira-
tion of the three years the tax of ninety
cents per gallon must be paid on the
original quantity of whisky in the bar
rels. as shown by the gauge when it was
barreled, less two-and-a-half gallons per
barrel per annum allowed for evapora-
ton and shrinkage. Then a tax-paid
stamp is put on each barrel, and
brand, with the name of the distiller,
the number of the district, and the date
of the payment of the tax, is burned in
the head. - Cincinnati Commercial

exclaimed:

The 1882 cut of pine in Michigan,
Wisconsin and Minnesota will amount
to about 10000. 000.00 feet against T.
768, 600, 900 last year, and everybody
wonders how long it can go on. Appar-
entity there will soon be more attention
given to the yellow pine OF the south;
less valuable than the northern variety,

AN Hx-PRIEsT.

Some excitement has been caused
in Lexington, KY, by the prevention
of lecture on "Why / became a
priest and why I ceased to be one''
by ex-Father O'Connor, now pro-
tessed infdel, says the Cincinnati
Commercial He had rented hall,
which was almost refused by the pro
pfietor, who feared to loose the trade
of Catholics. O'Connor was threat
ened with death if he attempted to
lecture, the message being conveyed
by three men protesting to represent
five hundred. A crowd did gather
last night and demanded O'Connor
of the host of the hotel where he
stayed, but he had left. A number
of advocates of free speech are try
ing to get O'Connor to lecture to-
morrow night, and the ringleaders
of the Catholic party still declare II
he does he will be killed. Father
Bowsath, the parish priest, disap-
proves of the action Of those who
prevented the lecture.

WIGGINS' STORM.

Recent dispatches from Halifax
says of general storm which pre-
vailed about the tenth throughout
Canada and the New England coast
as follows: Shortly after noon the
breeze shifted to the southeast, and
gradually grew in force. A few
minutes after the storm signal was up
at the citadel station, and people be-
gan to prepare for the storm, steam
ers and sailing vessels in docks were
secured to wharves with extra haw-
sers, and merchandise in places OF
insecurity was removed to higher
and safer quarters. No remarkable
change occurred in the following two
hours, but about 4 P. Nj. the wind
quickened. and light rain and hail
storm commenced to fall. The clouds
overhead grew ominously dark. Hall
an hour later the wind increased
doubly in strength, and rain and hail
were falling quite heavily. The fol-
lowing two hours this state of affairs
continued, the breezs increasing TO a
gale, and bowling overhead. Fear
began to become general among
wharf owners and proprietors of pro-
perty on the water line. Great ex-
citement prevailed. At I O'Clock the
ferry steamers to the mouth ceased
their trips the last one occupying
four times the usual time and being
made with great difficulty. From
that hour until 9 O'Clock the gale
blew with terrible fury, causing yes
sells in docks to strain fastenings and
almost tear from them. The tide
rose during the Blow higher than
known since the Baxley gale: At 8
o'clock it was nearly on level with
the wharves, and at 9, when the
highest sea washed over, considerable
fear was felt for the safety OF the
steamer New Foundland, which was
due between 8 and 9 O'Clock, when
the storm was at the highest. AT
$50 the wind was blowing 81 miles
an hour, and apparently growing in
velocity. About 9 it calmed sud
denly, and property owners and the
people began TO be more confident.
