FeRMENTED LIQUORS.

The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
has issued tabulated statement showing
in detail the receipts from internal reVe-
nue. for the year ending June 30, 1886.
The receipts from fermented liquors IN
clude tax on 2O,710,933 barrels, an in
crease of /, 524, $50 barrels over the pre-
ceding year. Allowing forty gallons to
a barrel thus gives 1913, 4S7 800 gallons as
as the quantity OF fermented liquors of
domestic manufacture consumed last
year by the people of the United States.
On the basis of 100000 of population
this gives per capita of consumption OF
thirteen gallons and three quarts, with
nearly fourteen million quarts to distri-
butte in glasses. Assuming that these
LIQUORS were consumed by one-half the
population would give to each individual
consumer over twenty.seven gallons. Ii
is doubtful whether any other nation can
show a better record than this for the
consumption of fermented liquors.

A sKILFULLY counterfeited silver dollar
bearing the date of 1854, is in circulation
in Wisconsin. The execution is so good
that it would be likely to fool anybody
but an expert. Placed OH the scales, how
ever, it is very light weight. The head
of the goddess Of liberty is very finely
made but close examination shows that
the fine cutting of the hair is worn. The
lines of the reverse are somewhat indis-
tinct, which might be owing to the large
number of dollars coined, or to the i'm
perfection of the die. The spurious metal
of the dollar has a silver ring, but it is
very brittle. Tt will be we'll for the public
to look at 1884 dollars.

washington Special TO the Baltimore Sun.
Holders of trade dollars have the
assurance of several prominent Con
gressmen that an effort will be made
this winter to pass a bill providing for
the redemption of this much-abused
coin. Similar efforts have been
made in previous Congresses, but they
have failed because 1t was alleged that
the bulk of this coin is held by specu-
lators. 1t is said that four or five
years ago concerted movement
among New York spectators depreci-
ated the value of the trade dollar, and
forced it down to current value of
from 78 to IS cents. This was owing
to two cause.-the discovery that the
government must redeem this class of
coin because it was obsolete and worth
less than its face value, and also be-
cause certain capitalists determined to
buy it up for speculative purposes.
They were purchased at an average of
IS cents and withdrawn from circula-
tion. If they should be redeemed now
the spectators would only make about
fifteen per cent on their investment,
which has stood for four years. I'm
der the circumstances the objection to
the passage OF such bill on the
ground that it is in the interest of the
speculstors alone no longer holds good,
and there seems to be no reason why
Congress should further withhold
leglslation on the subject.

WHAT THE SECRETARY OF WAR HAS TO
SAY IN HIS REPORT.

Secretary of War Endicott's report
is out, and is very complete. He SAYS
that during the fiscal year S36, 800, 903-
SO were paid out. The Lieutenant
General of the army reports that at
the date of the last consolidated re-
turns there were 2,1O3 officers and 23,-
GAG enlisted men in the army. In re
ferring to the late General Hancock
Mr.. Endcott says: "He was brave
and accomplished soldier, who served
with distinction in two wars, and was
thanked by Congress for his gallant,
meritorious and conspicuous share in
the great aud decisive victory at Gettys-
burg. He also had in full measure
the respect and love of all his country
men,"

serious disturbances in the Division of

SIZES THE FACTs-PLAIN TALK FROM
PROF. TUCKER HIS OPINION
ON AMMONIA AND BREAD
RIsERs GENERALLY.

The Albany, N. Y, Journal some
time since published an interesting re-
port upon the subject of baking pow
ders, in which it gave the results of
some tests of an elaborate character
made for the purpose of determining
the question Of which is the best and
wholesomest of these articles. The an
alyses and tests required were under
taken by Professors w. G. Tucker, of
the Albany Medical College, and w.
+. Mason, of the Rensselae; Polytech
nio Institute, of Troy, chemists of the
highest standing and reputation, well
known for their extended and valua-
BILE services as public analysts. Messrs.
Tucker and Mason, the Journal stated,
had been directed to procure from deal
ers in ALBANY and Troy packages of
baking powder, to aualyze aud criti-
cally examine them, and to make their
reports of facts found entirely without
bias or favor.
The report proved a matter of in
terest and Importance, and was widely
copied and commented upon. From
the facts presented housekeepers had
no difficulty in determining for them
selves the best and most wholesome
baking powder to use. The Journal,
its facts having been questioned by a
local baking powder manufacturer, re.
turns to the subject aud publishes the
following interesting interview with
Prof, Tucker, The facts before stated
are reafiirmed and emphasized in the
most breezy manner;
A Journal reporter recently visited
Prof. Tucker for the purpose of gain
lug further information in reference TO
the baking powder question. He was
found in the extensive laboratory of
the Medical College, hard at work, blt

itorial interview, the substance Of
