interest, without any savings, but this
beer money, he would be worth, at the
age of 40 years, $3.50 having saved his
money, his character, his health, and per-
haps his soul.
Now, if you have been paying out your
money for beer-what have you to show
for it? Are you any better, richer, hap
pier for IL? Are you any healthier than
your Notwithstanding friendp Has your
beer-drinking given you any better posi-
tion in societys Are your family any bet
ter off for it in any way? Does your
drinking help you to lay up anything of
any sort to Offset the bad accounts you
would have had if you had paid your
beer-money to the cashierP Or do you ex-
pect by means of beer-drinking to lay up
anything for yourself or your family in
the future? If so, what is it.
When you make a bargain, there are
always two values. You pay your money
for pair of shoes and you have the shoes
to show for it, and you can wear them
while you are earning money to buy
more; but when you have paid your
money for glass of beer, and swallowed
it, what have you to show for it? Ten
chances to one it makes you thirsty for
another glass, and another, and you get a
stupid feeling that does not help you
work, and perhaps some other bad things
not worth paying for but if you have
any good thing to show for it, what
is it?
Perhaps you have not yet drank enough
to count up much if so, now is your
time to forestall the cost and make your
bargain. VIII you pay out your money
for beer and lose it, or will you lay it out
so that you may have something to show
for it?
Wherefore do ye spend your money
for that which is not bread, and you
labor for that which satisfieth not ?''-

A Trip Up the Hudson.

A Trip Up the Hudson.
To any one who wishes a days trip of
the most delightful character, at low
rate of fare, we commend tho Pennsyl-
vania r. r. Co. IS excursion up the Hud-
son by the steamer Richard Stockton.
The trip is made daily, and the magni6-
cent scenery of the river, as far up as
Newburg, may be taken in. Full particu-
lars as to the connections by train, &C.,
may be learned at the company's ticket
offices. An excellent band is permanently
engaged, and plays on every trip. The
sights are ''too numerous to MENTION" as
the sale bills say, but we may name at
random, the upper portion of New York
city, with its magnificent residences and
grounds; the Palisades and mountains
along the river; Tappan Bay; the roman
tic towns on the hillsides; Stony Point;
West Point; Ionia Island; the passing
steamers, private yachts, &c., &c. Every
minute reveals new beauties, and one re
grets the loss of sights that is entailed by
the time occupied by dinner.

STREET COMMISSIONS.
LAMBERTvILLE, July ID, Is


LAMBERTvILLE, July Ia, 1885.
MIR. EDIToR:--I have been pretty
close observer of matters and things for a
great many years, parliamentary law
alJng with the rest, but never until Mon
day evening last, saw more wanton dis
regard of the rights and privileges of
members that were in the minority. A
more STAINLESS, idiotic, arbitrary, unwar-
ranted and high-handed ordinance, was
probably never even thought of in a de-
Lucrative body where they are supposed
be gentlemen. Had they confined them
selves to the subject matter, 1t would
have been bad enough in all conscience,
but to deliberately rob a committee of its
sacred rights, giving it to the Commission,
for the current year land doubtless from
year to year,, is a stretch Of power suf-
Jfcent for highwaymen, but not for honor
able men. The Street Committee are APP
parently shorn of their rights, by this un-
righteous ordinance. Now apply it a lit
tie farther. Suppose all other committees
were put on the same footing, what kind
of Council would we have? No voice
whatever-statues, not of marble, (some
might be of brass, however,. Is this the
feast to which the good people of Lam
bertville are invited Thank God, we
have Mayor that has not yet affixed his
name to this ststand and deliver" mani
festo, add we believe, that he will heed
an almost IMMERSED public sentiment, by
vetoing it promptly. Mayor Mcdowell is
the fortunate possessor Of himself-no
question of ownership in his case--and he
will not see the rights of committee
trampled on, unless we greatly mistake
him. The little pet Anaconda, y seems
to be growing finely, stretching from the
Delaware bridge to Main street, to York,
to Union, to Bridge. 1t will be fed on
curb stone broth for the present, and later
in the season on Keifer pears. The
squeezing process will be applied at the
proper time, unless ssscotched'' by some
one who loves right better than might.

Mr.. EDIToR:-As I have been a resi-
dent of this place for few weeks,
have written short description of the
borough for the benefit of yoar readers.
AS you enter the village from the North,
the first attraction is the monument erect
ed in 1861 by the Monument Association
of this place, to the memory of John
Downey, who was, with others, cruelty
slain while fighting for his country at the
Battle of May list, ITS, under the COM
mand of General John Lacey, the battle
having been fought on this spot where the
monument now stands. The monument
also has an inscription of gratefulness to
the soldiers of the war of 1919; also to our
brave boys of '61-'64. Next in order
is the fine residence and grounds of Doc
tor Evans, now member of Congress.
The village contains two churches-Bap.
list and Methodist, two hotels, two black
smith shops, two carriage shops, two tin
shops, two drug stores, one hardware
store, and number of dry goods and gro
Gerry stores, one National bank, four or
five shoe shops, the Tabler Academy, the
Union Library, and quite number of
very fine dwelling houses, first-class
lumber yard, two coal yards, one brick
yard, one printing office, and two grist
mills, capable of doing large amount of
business. The railway between Huntsville
and Jenkintown, passes through the vii
lage, giving the people chance to go to
the city six times daily.
| forgot to say that we have two DIR.
Markley's, and two DR.. Readings, one
DIR. Carroll, also DIR. Davis. The conse-
quence is, we have two grave yards, also
new cemetery, with number of inter-
ments. With this rough sketch | will

pew from which Patrick Henry uttered
sentiments that led to independence; then
to Monumental Church on the site where
nearly one hundred souls, including the
Governor, persisted In the flames; to Hol-
lywood cemetery, the burial place of
Presidents Monroe aud Taylor; to the
monuments of General Stuart and twelve
thousand Confederate dead; to the Ma
tional Cemetery, where peacefully rest
nearly twenty-fv thousand of the Union
army; to Belle Isle and Libby Prisons,
which are still standing as monuments
and reminders of the terrible incidents
which pertained to this city during the
late war. After dinner which was pre-
pared for us at the Exchange Hotel"
we took walk up to the Capitol. Here
one can satisfy him or herself that no city
in the United States is richer in national
memories and none has more carefully
treasured her relics. Here are original
statutes from life of Washington, Clay
and Lafayette. Capitol Square has the
Washington and Stonewall Jackson Mon
uments. The former is an immense group
of statuary. From the observatory on
the Capitol, with the aid of very intelli-
gent negro, and our glass, we took birds
eye view of the surrounding city, country
and fields of battle. Here our we'll inform
ed guide pointed out the general course
and operations of the two struggling
armies during the late rebellion. We
might add, the city is on beautiful site,
and the greater portion of which lies high
and dry, and unlike many Southern cities,
is kept perfectly clean.
At 4:30 We return. In about two hours
we are back to the "Hygeia." Another
nights sweet repose before starting on
our homeward journey. Having few
hours leisure, we stroll up the beach,
walk of about mile from the old fort.
Here we are in the midst of huge targets
composed of the strongest granite mason
ry and solid iron plates from to IL
inches thick, all or most of which appear
to have been torn asunder and pierced
with balls except the twelve inch plates,
which were in many places nearly pune
tured. Here it is said lie, scantily COW
cred, the Inflated bodies of deserters who
were shot at this point during the late
war. There is nothing to mark their last
resting place, save the natural luxurient
bloom of the cactus OpUntia V0lgaris.
This odd tongue-shaped plant is here to
decorate the graves and the only thing
which seems to say, Have mercy on the
poor souls so numerically treated. We
secured a fine specimen of this cactus and
now have it growing. We reached home
on Saturday, feeling somewhat fatigued
but well paid for having taken advantage
of this grand trip. DRAHcrR.

WHAT BREWERS THINK ABOUT BEER.
Mr.. Lii was one of Americas greatest
brewers. For thirty years he made beer,
and the product of his great establish
ment on the North Side Chicago had a
wide reputation. At last the brewery
burned down. People supposed that Mr..
Lii would rebuild. At meeting of the
business men of that section the subject
was preached, but Mr.. Lii said that he
should never build nor own another brew
cry. 1t was business that demoralized
both master and man. He found it i'm
possible to keep sober men on his prem
ises. 1t was mandatory of drunkards
in constant operation /; and the curse be-
gan in the brewery itself, where every
man was beer barrel in the morning and
barrel of beer at night. He would have
no more of it. He would be content to
make less money in some other way.
At this point an old acquaintance in
the audience called out, Gill, what are
we to do for that excellent ale of yours %
Mr.. Lii answered, "Do without, and be
the better for it,
We can not very we'll doubt Mr.. Lill's
honesty in this. He had made money in
brewing, and, according to common GUS
tom, he ought to speak well of the bust
ness. But he could not honestly speak
we'll of brewing. 1t is too thoroughly
bad the product is bad and its effects
are bad. They accord with what we see
everywhere around us. Beer brings dis
ease, poverty, metaphysical, moral, and
whenever 1t has chance to work out its
legitimate results, to the individual and
to the community.
England's greatest brewer says SIT is
in vain that every engine is set to work
which philanthropy can devise when
those whom we seek to benefit are habi-
tually soaking their brain with beer or
infaming them with ardent spirits. The
struggle of the school, the library, and
the Church, all united against tho beer
houses and gin palaces, is but one devop-
ment of war between heaven and hell,
Reader, on which side do you propose
to range yourself?

The census returns from all parts of
the State, with but few exceptions, are
on file in the office of the Secretary of
State. 1t is expected that they win be
all in by the first of August. A rough
estimate gives an increase of about 100,-
600 to the population of the State in five
years. The increase comes principally
from the cities, while there is little from
the agricultural counties. The total popu-
lation will reach about million and a
quarter. Trenton shows as large per.
centage of increase an any other city.
The method employed in taking the GEN.
sus was simple but thorough, and it
is the opinion of those in authority that
it will DO the most complete of any ever
taken in this State. 1t is believed that
not village or hamlet has been missed.
