THINGS HERE AND THERE.

The New York Herald will have to over
haul its geography. The other day it located
Deer Park in New Jersey, and we find in
its personal columns the announcement that
"Hon. PATRICK II. KELLY, the leading grocery
m erchant of Minneapolis is in the CITY," 1t
is no disparagement to Minneapolis to have
Mr.. KELLY accredited to that city, but all the
world knows that it would be like divorcing
man and wife to separate Mr. KELLY from
St. Paul.
1t is possibly an unfounded report that
JOHN L. SULLIVAN is to be prosecuted under
the civil rights law for refusing to fight
PETER JACKSON because the latter is a col
ored man. Yet he Is guilty of clear viola
ton of the fourteenth amendment. 1t is
sort of a Scylla and Charybidis between
which Prof SULLIVAN is passing. He is to be
prosecuted for fighting white man and then
prosec uted because he wouldn't fight
coon.

There is a good chance now to make an eX-
ample Of somebody for reckless driving and
it will be to the everlasting disgrace OF our
civil authorities if it is not done. Conserva-
tive people have an idea that when young
bloods can run over ladies in the street and
escape prosecution, it is abolt time to pull
up stakes and quit the town.

There is not much given in detail of the
work of the dairy commissioner, inspecting
adulterated articles, before he went to his
Deer Park for recuperation, but it has been
discovered in many households of late that
the theory that cream is product of milk
has visible support. 1t is not insisted that
tl,an c1, how 49,
discovery. But it is assuring that he is soon
to move with his accession of vigor upon the
investigation of what is absorbed as liquors
and other necessaries of life. His mode of
operations is not stated but Others in like
pursuit of the pure and true. have bought
samples of the beer, whisky, vinegar, wines
and other irrigants, and subjected them to a
very careful analysis, applying the law where
there was any deviation from the orthodox
conglomeration. Parties are temporizing
with lemonade, buttermilk, pop, milk shake,
Waukesha water and such, waiting to learn
where the substantials may be had in their
purity.
"That is what we are raised on in En-
gland, remarked an English friend interest
ed in investments in this country, yesterday,
as he rapidly environed glass of eight-year-
old English beer Our people who are buy
ing up your breweries and other industries
would brew the English beer here, but it
can't be made in this country. The climate
is too dry. 1t even loses its strength when
imported. 1t is stronger and more nutritious
than lager. But we have put about $50, O0O,-
600 in your breweries, and will go on until
we have all the industries and resources that
we care for in our hands, 1t will be pretty
fair country to do business in then; in fact,
almost as good as England. AS all instance
in one line. one of our syndicates has secured
three counties near Cumberland Gap, rich in
ore, and we can undersell Pennsylvania in
iron. Another has got control of the Harvey
tin mines in the Black Hills, and will prevent
their being operated in competition with the
English mines" His second glass was now
empty, and he stopped.

The states that reject prohibition generally
take high license on the assurance that it is a
long step toward prohibition and comprises
all that is practicable at present High
license concentrates the business into fewer
hands, but it puzzles good many to see how
it affects consumption. One of the adopts in
the science and faithful practitioners at the
liquid bar gives this explanation. He says
that the dealers make high license the ex-
cuse for higher rates or smaller drinks For
instance, in beer, he insists that they use de-
vices and iufusions that fill about two-thirds
of the glass with froth. and only the tony and
lavish people, who take the bottled article,
can often afford 10 buy enough to get heavy
on. Many get disguised and try water. This
promotes temperance. Then distilled liquors
are put so high that common people cannot
afford to indulge. They make longer gaps
between drinks. This promotes temperance
among the average citizens. The fine haired
fellows with full pockets. OF course, have
too much sense to be Incorporate.
