Concerning the Legislature.

Raleigh is always place of interest
during a session of the Legislature
one meets interesting people and hears
interesting things. It is not less SC
this time than usual. It is not the
towns-people alone, the officers oil
government or the members of the
Legislature, but there are visitors from
every section OF the State, the whole
constituting a group worth while see
ing and hearing. The reader has fol-
lowed through the press the legislative
proceedings thus far and is aware that
there has been little conclusive legis-
ia.ion upon large matters. Final action
upon these is generally left for the
closing days of the session and it viii!
b. so in this case. What the final
outcome will he no one can forecast.
The principal subjects of outside talk
are liquor and divorce, which seem
to absorb to large degree the legis-
lstive mind. The body Is inclined to
he liberal in appropriations to meri-
torious subjects, as for instance the
insane and other afflicted classes, the
Confederate veterans, the public
schools and the States higher educa-
tlonal Institutions. This expression of
this liberality will be limited only by
the resources in sight. The writer be-
lleves that in the wind-up it will be
found to have been a more conserva-
tive Legislature than many people
now think it. It is to be remembered
that many foolish measures find their
way into every Legislature but it does
not necessarily follow that these are
to become laws. So at this session
many extreme measures have been in
trOduced but few have as yet been
enacted. There are dangers which
threaten but something is to be trust
ed to the wisdom and responsibility OF
ITO North Carolinians chosen to rep
resent the citizenship OF the State and
cognizant of the TACT, as the majority
are, that they hold in their hands the
fate OF great party. It is to be
hoped that they will not run it upon
the rocks

Connection with the subject of appro-
priations, that there IS more or less

Germany Yields Us Beer Palm.

Germany yields the first place in beer
production to the United States" says
Frank Mason, consul general in Berlin,
in a report to the department of COM
merce and labor. He shows from the an
uual report of the German Brewers as
sociation that their product last year
was less by 1872, e., 230 gallons than that
at the American breweries. The falling
of is accounted for by the cold, wet
weather, the spread of temperance prin-
ciples, the practice Of economy by the
middle classes, and the abolition in many
workshops of the "bierpause" and the
substitution of tea and coffee as bever-
ages.

Big Creek Road a Fine Highway.

Senators Lewis and Wheeler of
the state wagon road commission
recently returned from a tour of
inspection of the Warren Big Creek
wagon road. In an interview with
The Statesman, they gave a most
excellent report, saying: "The
road as staked out by Engineer
Luck is q marvel in road building,
and will make beautiful noun
tain road with an average of less
than 7 per cent grade"
The Statesman says: "In COM
menting on the report of the road
commission, Governor Gooding said
that some complaint has been made
about the work of Engineer Luck.
After careful examination of the
facts by the commission, the COVER
nor is of the opinion, which is
shared by the other members of the
commission, that Engineer Luck is
entitled to the highest possible COM
pliments for his valuable work in
behalf of the state. The commits
sion heartily approves everything
he has done, and is prepared to
back him up"
