It Is said that some influential Boston Democrats
who are dissatisfied with Gen, John n Corse'5
management Of the postoffice, working to get
him appointed Minister to Holland.
Maj-Gcn. A. H Terry has written to the Secre-
tary of War stating that his health compels him to
ask to be ordered before a retiring board. This
confirms the many reports OF the Generals bad
health which have been current. He is now in
command of the Division Of the Missouri, with
headquarters at Chicago, in which position he Sue
oeeded Gen. Schofeld, who took command Of the
Division Of the Atlantic when Gen. Hancock died
The prospect of Gen. Terry's retirement has re-
newed the conflict between the friends of the Brga-
dier-Generals for promotion to the vacant Major
Generalship. The leading candidates for the posi-
ton are Gems. Crook and Miles. Crook is the
senior but the friends of Gen. Miles urge his pro-
motion the ground of his successful termination
Of the Geronimo campaign.
Comrade Hannibal Hamlin, Ex-Vice President
Of the United States, was present at recent Camp
fire in Portland Me, and the course of speech
dilated the great progress of science and referred
to the telephone, which, he said, Puts in COM
munication with those we love and hundred miles
away. If were in communication with my wife at
the present moment, should hear her say, Hanui-
bal, be careful and not catch cold An hour or 50
afterward he was having delightful time with a
beyy OF young girls, when Past Commander Saw
yer called the meeting TO order and announced,
" Ladies and gentlemen, we have just received a
telephone message from Bangor. 1t says: Han
nibal, don't Airt with the girls" The venerable
statesman was for once at loss for something to
say.
Rev. S. Hopkins Emery, a member Of Bartlett
Post no. 3, Taunton, Mass. and wife, celebrated
the 50th anniversary Of their marriage recently.
During the day Comrade Emery was presented
with $1,000 in gold, and in the evening the Post
of which he is a member rendered him a recep-
ton and presented him with $40 in gold.

New YORK, April th.-Eightv brewer
les closed their doors at noon. Secretary
Seifert, of the Brewers Exchange. reiter-
ates that the brewers will stand firm, and
that no employees will be taken back ex-
ceptlng those who suit the employers.
EVERYTHING SHUT DOWN
NEW YORK, April 16th-1 P. M.-The
brewery lockout has begun, and more than
five thousand brewers, brewery-wagon
drivers, maltsters, helper, wagonrnakers.
coopers, painters and apprentices in this
city, Brooklyn, Jersey City, Newark, Pat
erson and Staten Island are out of work.
The financial week of the workmen ended
at noon to-day. According to instructions
OF the union, every brewer in every one of
the above-named cities returned to work as
usual this morning, and there were few
outward indications that the greatest lock-
out that has ever occurred in this section of
the country would occur in a few hours.
NO LONGER WANTED.
Just before noon the proprietors of each
brewery met the men and informed them
that their services were no longer wanted,
tnat they mad unanimously decided to be
their own bosses and would not submit to
anything pictorial from their men. How
ever, II the men sought unemployment as
individuals and disconnect themselves from
unions, they would get work.
The men passed quietly to the cashiers
desks after they had heard what the pro.
prietor had to say, received their weekly
pay and departed. At noon time, accord
ing to the agreement, every brewery door
was closed and business for the time is sus-
pended.

The Diet of Strong Men.

The Roman soldiers who built such
wonderful roads, and carried weight of
armor and luggage that would crush the
average farm hand, lived on coarse brown
bread and sour wine. They we're temperate
in diet and regular and constant in exer-
else. The Spanish peasant works every
day and dances half the night, yet eats
only his black bread, onion and water
melon. The Smyrna porter eats only a
little fruit and some olives, yet he walks
off with his load of hundred pounds.
The coolie, fed on rice, is more active and
can endure more than the negro fed on fat
meat. The heavy work Of the world is not
done by men who eat the greatest guam
tity. Moderation in diet seems to be the
prerequisite of endurance.-Erehange
