 My father, R. M. Bishop, was mayor of Cincinnati at the time and not William Bishop" It is true he was born in Elem ing county, Kentucky, and I have req son to know was proud of it. He was also d democrat and a southern sympathizer, but the fact that previously he had been a member of the council, then president of same, then mayor, member of the Ohio Constitutional convention, president of the National Board of Trade, president of the American Christian Missionary convention succeeding Alexander Camp bell, and governor of Ohio; not to mem ton the fact that he was placed in nomi- nation for the candidacy for the vice presidency at the Cincinnati convention in 1880 refutes the fact very forcibly that he was so green and rattled that he called the Prince of Wales "Son."
 The article l think reflects upon Elem ing county, Kentucky, where I was born. and where l spent many, many days and l will say l never met there a twelve year old boy that did not know enough and have sufficient nerve to call the Prince of Wales by his proper title when he learned he was to visit them.

important Chemical Discovery.

Rhinelander, Wis, May 29.-A local
chemist has produced a liquid which
is II 900 times stronger than the best
quality of beer and one drop of it
placed in large beer glass and filled
with ice water produces a glass of
pure beer of the finest grade. The ex-
tract contains an alkoloid from hops
just $500 times stronger than crude
hops, and the active principle of malt
1900 times the strength of common
malt made from the best barley. With
the above is combined an article,
which, on contact with water, pro-
duees instantaneous fermentation,
forming 312 per cent alcohol, the
amount existing in the best grade of
beer. An ounce bottle of the extract
will make 4S0 schooners of about 80
gallons or pure beer.
