HARTMANN. WS HORRIBLE RECITAL, Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. New York, July 29,—Hartmann, the Nihil- ist, furnishes the Herald with a letter seven columns in Jength, detailing the part he took in the attempt to blow up the late Czar’s train at Moscow. After giving his {reasons for joining the] Nihilist society, he sets forth the particulars of the condemning the Czar to death, and relates how the plans were laid for compassing the end in view, from the purchasing of the house from the cellar of which the tunnel was dug, to the day when the train was fired. Ile says: After having determined the shortest line to the railway, WE BEGAN OUR Work. We used large steel knives for the tunneling- work, and spades for throwing the earth out of the gallery into the vertical pit or cellar: The only other instruments we used were a water-level, two yard measures, and several blind lanterns. In the gallery there was room for but one man at a time, who was OBLIGED TO SIT IN A CROUCHING rusiTION, his feet bent under him. When he had dug out a suficient quantity of earth, he threw it out with a spade into the vertical pit, where another of our men filled it into iron pails, and a third carried these out and emptied them into a dark closet, situated at the back ofthe house. When the gallery was dug out so far as to render the throw- ing out of the earth with spades impossible, a light shect of tron with its sides bent so as to form a flat box and with a rope attached to it and wound its other end around a windlass, was used to draw the earth out of the gallery. SOPHIE PEROVOSKY bore her part of the work, which was ex- hausting in the extreme, with extraordinary and calm heroism. She had to be at work constantly, from 5 o’clock in the morning till midnight. She had to cook the meals three times a day for the four men working at the mine, to sweep and clean the rooms in the upper story, to be always on the lookout for visitors, to entertain them in the dining- rooin, and to warn us by means of a bell com- municating with the cellar, of every possible danger. This was her ordinary work, but when TUE DIFFICULTIES OF OUR MINING ENXZER- PRISE began, she insisted on taking part in the act- ual work, like all of us. She satin the mine digging, worked at the windlass, besides at- tending to all her ordinary duties, and kept her -spirits up in a man- ner that cheered and encouraged all of us. And now the 18th of November, old style, the day before the explosion has come. To- morrow, to-morrow, an event shall happen which shall perhaps be the first step toward freeing our unhappy Russia from a barbarous despotism. To-morrow the destiny of Russia and our own is to be decided. The latter circumstance is certainly but of secondary importance. Yet we all wish to take leave of each other. Perhaps we must now see each other for the last time. Perhaps our next meeting MAY BE ON THE SCAFFOLD. Therefore, let us celebrate the termination of our work and say good-by to each other cheerfully,—with a bottle of wine one of us sugeests. The proposition is accepted. The night has come. all is still around. The windows of our house are closed, and covered by thick draperies, leaving no chink through which a treacherous ray of light might creep. AROUND THE DINING-TABLE eight persons are seated,—seven men and a young woman, Sophie Peroysky. Two members of the Administrative Council, on their way from the South to the Capital, are our guests for to-night. In the middle of the table eight daggers are stuck crosswise into the boards. Eight revolvers lie under- neath, By the side of this pile A LURID FLAME, alcohol with salt, burns, casting a ghastly, unearthly light on all the pale, emaciated figures sitting around the table. ‘The effect of this flame may truly be calied horrible. It gives to the face a livid hue, as thatofa corpse. We had all naturally SUFFERED MUCH BY OUR MINING WORK. Our faces were deeply furrowed with wrinkles. The sleepless nights, the con- stant anxiety and suspense, had left their marks on us. And now, in that ghastly light, the table seemed to be surrounded, not by living men, but -by corpses, who had arisen from the grave for a midnight festival. The instruments of death before us, the deathly hue of our faces, all this spoke of the grave. Only the eyes gleamed and glittered with a greenish light, perhaps more ghastly to look at than the immovable, corpse-like paleness of the faces, AT THE CLOSE OF OUR SHORT BANQUET we separated. All but two of us left Mos- cow that’ very night. The morning of the eventful day dawned. The two who were to accomplish the explosion were alone in the house. They were Sophie Perovsky and another. ‘The former had to observe the approach of the imperial train, and to give the signal for closing the chain. The Jatter was posted in the barn near the com- mutator, and had to close the galvanic chain on hearing the signal. Who was that other one? ‘The Russian Govern- meut doesn’t know who he was, and I donot consider it expedient to dispel its ignorance. Moreover, I fully expect to re- turn to Russia some time, probably soon. I may then fall into the hands of the Czar’s police, though 1 doubt it, and I should pre- fer, therefore, to be reticent on this one point. The-moment for the explosion has come. Thetrain speeds along the line. The signal is given. The chain is locked, and at the same moment a deafening report is heard. A COLUSN OF EARTIC rises over the bed of the railroad, two cars are lifted into the air, and are throws with terrible violence into - the fields below. In a moment all is con- fusion. People run out of the houses. Shouts of terror. hysteric sobbing of the women fill the street. Policemen are speeding from all sides to the spot. The whole district seems to be in a craze of fright. In-the meantime Sophie Pervosky, and the “somebody” cross the yard to its furthest end, pass through an opening in the railing, which has been prepared before- hand, in to the neighboring yard, then through the doorway into a street situated on the sideof the houses opposit to the rail- road and saunter off quietly into the city, where they entered the safe place of con- cealment. WHEN THE POLICE entered Sukhovukofi’s house, they found a burning candle on the table, two empty wine bottles, and eight glasses, and a large black cat mewing in a corner of the room. ‘The fire in the stove was still burning. Everywhere the signs of life, butlife itself was gone. On the same day Sophia Perovsky and her companion left Moscow for St. Petersburg. by the night express. It was then only that they heard of the failure of their enterprise. IN CONCLUSION, Jet me give you, in as few words as possible, a sketch of the character and social position of_some af my comrades in the Moscow are all intelligent, well- educated people, ali former , pupils of some university or _ teclinical high school. None of them is older than 30 nor younger than 21. Among us there was the daughter of a Minister of State and Senator belonging to the highest ‘and most refined circles of the St. Peters- burg aristocracy. This was Mlle. Perovsky- There are sons of landed. proprietors, of merchants, distinguished chemists, and electricians whose names have become cel- ebrated in science. There are Government employés who, while ostensibly serving the Czar, are secretly working at his destruction. Lastly, there is your humble servant, a law- Yer, teacher, telegraph operator, chemist, shoemaker, bookkeeper of a bank, and so on, and ail of us, and many thousands of our friends strewn all over Russia, passionately, ardently, desired to kill the Czar. FOR MYSELF Imay say that, though a good shot, I have always had:an insupportable aversion. to shooting other than wild animals, such as wolves, vultures, mad dogs, and such Jike. But I would calmly and cheerfully killa man who treads under his execrable foot 90,000,000 human beings, bathing in their blood, for I consider such a man a thousand times worse and more dangerous than a wolf or a mad- dog. An animal can kill tive, ten, perhaps twenty men, while our nefarious despotism has destroyed thousands and thousands of lives, and stifles me spark of liberty and intelligence out of 90,000,000 of other lives. But I hear the moral and virtuous reader remark, “In your at- tempt to blow up the Czar many innocent people might have suffered.” ‘This is true. But to this we have to answer, “ First, that, as in all warfare, so in OUR STRUGGLE AGAINST CZATRDOM, those who serve our fue are our enemies too; and secondly, that, even if a rew really in- nocent lives’should perish, this is a necessity which no great war, no great movement for the freedom of mankind, can escape. We deeply regret this necessity, but we are deeply and gratefnily conscious of the fact that until now the RusSian-‘revolution has cost much less innocent “victims than other similar movements.” ae Hartmann’s descriptions of the manner in -which the tunnel-was dug, of the hardships endured, and the dangers of detection that constantly beset the conspirators, is quite graphic but of no special interest at this date. He brings with him to this country his credentials from the Socialist and Revolu- tionary party in Russia, which read as fol- lows: !Transtation.] EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF TIE Russtin So- CTAL REVOLUTIONARY Party, April 9, Li No. *45—To Leo Hartmann—Dean Comitape: Our ulm is to elevate the Russian people to a posi- tion among free States. With that object in view the better plan appears to be while con- Unuing our strugules at home, at the same time to dissipate the prejudices, hostility, and enmity. which are too often sown In the dealings of European countries with Russia. {tis our duty to point out that Europe has no kuowledze whatever of Russia except in her official capacity. She is looked upon as n country with a barbarous government, inherited from Mon- golian invasions, coupled with a lazy aristoc- racy. But Europe is not xcquainted with Rus- sia proper, nor with the intellicent classes whien sho comprises in her population. In her relations with the political affairs of Eu- rope official Russia has always drawo her sword in behalf of the cause of retrogression and for tho furtherance of dyoustic despotism. ‘The Russian peopic from time immemorial have ever been bostile to the policy of the Gov- ernment, and in our times have found effectual mexns to hamper those movements of the Government that tended toward foreign tyranny. It cannot be denied that the Eu- ropean nations remember too well the yoke impesed upon them by their re- Spective Governments, and, witn the re- membrance of the former sufferings fresh in their minds, thoy cannot possibly binme the Russians for seeking to throw off the fetters that enthrall them. Moreover, our people are justly entitled to European _ contidence and sympathy. This, no doubt, will be accorded as soon as we are DETERMINED TO DESTROY OUR GOVERS- MENT and tobreéstablish direct relations with Europe. While awaiting this happy consummation, let us do all in our power to make our eye ucquainted with the -real state of affairs tn Rugsia. To you, then, dear comrade, is confided the great work of organizing, and founding in Europe and America, permanent bureaus for tho purpose of disseminating our doctrines. Al- though we have decided to carry on our cam- paign against the Government with re- sources and means gathered from our people, yet we uuthorize you nevertheless, dear comrade, to uceept pecuniary aid from other nations, first, for the purpose of making known our doctrines abroad; second, for charitable purposes in the interior of Itussia; third, for aiding the oppressed victims of our tyrannical = Government. We are con- vineed that when Europe recalls to mind the painful process of her own emancipation she will not fall to give to your mission ample proofs of her sympatby and assistance.

July 30.—Is Hartmann in New York, oris he not? The Herald the past two mornings has made a special feat- ure of the noted Nihilist and would-be as- sasin of the Czar, who was implicated in the attempt to blow up the Im- perial train'-at Moscow some months ago, and who, since that time, has been hunted through Europe by Russian detectives, evading his, pursuers at every turn, Hartmann, it is said, arrived in New York some days ago, and it appears that since then he has devoted his time to tho preparation of articles for the New York press, with ‘a view to exploiting himself before the American public as a professional assasin and leader of the Nihilist movement. As yet, it is apparent he has been seen by perhaps NOT MORE THAN THREE PERSONS who profess to know his identity—a Ger- man and an English editor and a second-rate lawyer, to whom, <it is stated, Hartmann applied, soon after. his arrival here, for legal advice as to whether he could be extradited. Ile was informed, I am told, that, being a political refugee only, the Russian Government could not harm him, and upon the strength of this advice he consented to make public the details of the part he_ played in the Moscow | fiasco, which had for its purpose the death of the Emperor Alexander II., atid, in addition to his recital of that event, to take occasion, as Ne represented as having done this morning, to glorify the act and the actors, and to proclaim annihilation in the future to Russian monarchs. . THE LAWYER who acted as the alleged Hartmann’s counsel was seen to-day, and stated that the sanguin- ary individual was domiciled in Hoboken, “but when an attempt was made to see him, the caller was informed that he was out. Later on the German editor who has “steered”? the reputed Hartmann -into Eu- glish journalistic{channels, stated that THE LITTLE RUSSIAN was sick, and could not be seen by any out- siders. ‘he well-known and tiery Comma- nist, Justus Schwab, who, it would be pre- sumed, would be fully informed of the pres- ence of such an individual as. Hartmann, declares positively to-night that he is no in this city, and has not been here. Those who have kept fully posted on Nihilist_mat- ters state that the alleged letter from Hart- mann in the Herald of. to-day is but a rehash of the story of the Moscow affaire as told by another of the conspirators, some months ago, and pub- lished at some length in the Volkszeitung of this city. ‘The enterprising journalist who perpetrated this latest recital had carefull. worked up the facts embodying their sensa- tional teatures and presenting them with florid details, which, while not new, made a very readable story. FRIGHTFUL EXPLOSION. THE MALT-DUST IN A MALTI-ELEVATOR EX- PLODES WITH TERRIFIC FORCE. Svectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. New Yors, July 30.—By an explosion of fine malt-dust in the malt-elevator at George Ehret’s brewery, in Ninety-third street, be- tween Secondand Third avenues, to-day, the mansard roof and cornice of the west wing was blown off, part of the brick front was destroyed, the machinery damaged, 26,000 bushels of malt spoiled, one man injured, and the milling operations at the brewery will be stopped for some..time,. Competent judges estimate the damage at $60,000, but surveys by builders and insur- ance agents may reduce the Toss considera- bly. Ehret’s brewery is conspicuous from the Ilarlem Flats and Dell Gate. It is one of the best-appointed breweries in America, ‘and = THE “PLANT” IS WORTH, $250,000, At 11 o’elock this morning the mills were grinding malt and it was being carried up the elevators to the east bin. Tyenty-seven men were working in the west wing and mnety-eight men ‘were working in the other parts of the brewery, Herrman Fisher, the miller, and Herman Kessler were on the fourth floor near the mills, and a dozen of the Iaborers were in the street in front of the Central Building, unloading ice. Mr. John B. Hasslocher, the Superintend- ent, was busy around his office -and the’ main. entrance. About 10 or iL o’clock 2 detonation was heard, the brewery was shaken, a shower of bricks from the pediment fell into the street in front of the central building, and cries of “ Fire? were rtised. Mr. Hasslocher stopped the engines, and ran through the central building to the roof, P SUMMONING ATL, HANDS TO 11s AID. Admirable precautions had been taken against fire, and ina few minutes a number of portable extinguishers were being used around the clock tower, where flames had not skilled firemen, and when it was appa- rent that they could not successfully battle with the fire an alarm to the Fire Depart- ment \ nt out. After the fire was. out an examination of the building showed that the force of the explosion was such as to shift the clock. tawer about eleven inches, and to strain the timbers of the cupola. ‘Twelve courses of brick near the pediment were bulging, the turret chimney was badly bulged at the base, and the power fixtures above the fifth floor were more or less damaged. NOT AN EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT, Mr. Masstocher and several of Mr. Eliret’s employés spoke of the uccurrence as being far from extraordinary. On the 4th of July, 1$80,a2 common Iucifer match among the malt was ignited in the malt-mil, in which are two steel grinders which make about 150 revolutions a minute. ‘The flash of the match set fire to the dust in the ele- yators, and an explosion occurred which did about $2,000 damage. Similar explosions have recently occurred at Huppel’s brewery and at uppert’s. A pebble or a piece of steel among the malt in the mill could produce a. spark which, If it came in contact with the sac- charine fire-dust in the elevator, would cause either a flash or an explosion, according to the quantity of dust in the air. JUST AS GOOD A FLAS ean be produced with this malt dustas with lycopoditm spores, which were once usedyin theatres to'sinulate-lightning. Conspicu- ously posted on every floor of the west wing were notices in German ‘and English that smoking was strictly prohibited. ‘The burn- ing of the Washburn, Diamond, and Hum- boldt mills on the 2d of May, 1875, at Minne- apolis, was due to the explosions of particles of flour aud bran mixed with the air, and the force’of the explosion was so erert as to throw down walls six feet thick, and sheets of iron from the roof of the Washburn Mills were thrown so high in the air that they were carted away by the wind a distance of two miles. ITEMS, A STRONG COMBINATION. Special ‘Disputch to The Chicago Tribune, New York, July 30—Maj. J. B. Pond, the lecturer and general amusement. manager, has associated with him for the coming season Mr. Max -Bachert, a gentleman of long experience in this field, and together they will bring out some of the best talent of the country. The combination is a particularly strong one, Atr. Bachert bringing to his work most admira- bio business qualities and high social pres- ge. EX-SENATOR CONKLING’S SISTER. Mrs. C._C.

To the Western Associated Press. “> New Yorn, July 30.—George Hazael, champion of England, defeated Charles Price, ex-champion, ina ten-mile race to-day at the pulo grounds. Wazael ran ten miles in 53 minutes and 2234 seconds, and Price in 55 minutes and 55 seconds. Princess de Metternich. London Truth. ‘The Princess Metternich has kept right gaily hersilver wedding, Its celebration took place neitber at ber eplendid seat of Kéenigswart, near Marienbak, nor sat Johannisberg, famous. for its cellars, but in the chateauof Vicomte de Bussiére at Schoppenwirth, near Col- mar. There the Prince had lain when sutfermg, eleven years ago, from a wound received in a duel about the Comtcsse de B—t. There also the Princess had assured him that she did not mind in the least the cause of his mésaventure. The de Bussi¢res were, before the Revqlution, connected with the Blet- ternichs, who then were held of small account among the feudal houses of Germany.—a rea- son, perhaps, why the first Prince of the family was the incarnation of Toryism in Austria. Schoppenwirth is in the Lice’ region of Alsace. Gustave Doré has painted the ravines, pine woods, and ruined keeps in its neighbor- hood. Vicomte de Bussitre is a nephew of the late Master of the French Mint and cousin- german of 0 erst pretty Mme. do Pourtales. As the de Bussfércs are Lutherans, and dwellin the midst of a Protestant popula- tion, it was agreed that tne silver mess was to be offered up at an early hour in the forenoon in a little country chapel. A numerous company, richand “well-born,” arrived at 8 in the morn- ing from across the Rhine, from the country seats uround Schoppenwirth. <A silver wedding procession was then formed, which was led of by the Prince and Princess. They walked over roses that were strewn onthe way to the church, and were saluted by orpheonist and choral bands. Time has dealt gently with the Princess, who is lively as of old, and not at all aware that the skyrocket style of wit she yet cultivates is out of dute. Prince Richard—her spouse—hns aged much since he was Ambassador in Paris. His light brown whiskers, the ends of which stiil touch the points of nis cont collar, are snowy. Music is now his only serious occupation. He dabbles in lteraturc and is compiling his father's memoirs. He and the Princess have often, as husband and wife, fallen off from each other, but have ever been. as near blood rela- tions, on the friendliest terms. The degree ot consanguinity in which they stand to each other is the snme as that of Baroness James Roths- vhild to her late uncle. and of Queen Isabella's mother to King Ferdinand of Spain. In the daytime there was a village fete in the Park of Schoppenwirth. A grand banquet was served in the evening to the wealthy and well-born guests of M. de Bussiére. Tonsts *were drunk in wine drawn from the “Bride of the Ceilar,” at Johannisberg. After dinner Ruggieri ‘bad bis turn. Neighbors of all classes were admitted to see his fireworks. Wheo they retired the noble company at, the Chateau proceeded to dance on an illuminated corner of the lawn, aise was led off by the Prince and Princess. It was of interminable Iengtb, and novel figures were introduced into it. Dancing was kept up with spirit until daylight bad appeared. —— A Larze Shipment of Gold? +. Philadetphia Times, July 26, . Over $5,000,000 in broad, salmon-colored bars or bricks of gold, occuslovaliy darkly tinged with, 2 copper-like conting, arrived yesterday morning at the United States Mint, They came in 100 wooden boxes, about two feet square and affoot deep. An express wagon, with several custodians, carried them, and they were rolled and dumped into the ‘weighing-room like so much lead. To the menin the Mint the daily handling of fabulous sums of the precious metals begets an indifference that pnts it on a Par with the commonest merchandise. Not an ounce .of it, however, is free from the closest scrutiny while within these walls. Although 2 man may walk in from the street and stand at a. step before the open door of the welghing-room vault, where $30,000,000 is stored, with but a single, official in sixht, it would need but the slightest rlarm to have a score of men with joaded weapons in their hands standing on | the spot. Unlike foreign mints no display of armed protectiou of the treasure is made, but the precautions are névertheless complete. The large. consiznment yesterday came from the Assayer's otlicc in, New York. - Bach box con- tained a “ melt,” or in other words the entire refined contents of acrucible,each varying in qyantity, and every brick was: numbered. ‘The men who do the heavy work opened the boxes, took off the paper wrappings, and piled the bricks upon the scales. en the clerk weighed them and carried the bricksiu to the vault. The entire weight was 266,960.18 ounces Troy, or over eleven tons. The actual net-welght valuation was $5,104,466.01. If any one could dbunt $30 every minute and keep it up without stopping. it would take within a fraction’of four months to count this amount in coin. In tne mict all the counting is done by weight and measure.

Special Dispatch to The Chicaco Tribune. Orrawa, Ont., July 30.—The census re- turns show that 650,493 have been added to the population of the Dominion of Can- ada within the - past decade, and it now numbers 4,350,533 souls. The population of Ontario has increased to 1,913,460; of Quebec to 1,358,469: of Nova Scotia to 440,- 585; of New Brunswick to 321129, The pop- ulation of Prince Edward Island is at 107,781, and of Manitoba at 49,509. British Columbia andthe ‘Territories are. estimated at 160,000. As compared with the census of 1871. Ontario shows the largest increase, the percentage being 18.05, Quebec 14.02 Nova Scotia 13.61, New Brunswick 12.44, and Prince Edward’s Island 14.63. ‘The effect of this will be to prevent any material increase in the representation of the maritime prov- inces in the readjustment for the next Par- liament. During the ten years the popula- tion of the four provinces—Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia—haye in- creased 547,882, A remarkable feature is the relatively large increase of Quebec, ac- counted for by the method of taking the census, which includes tens of thousands who are.in the United States, but who are_counted members of Quebec fami- lies, “ How will the above figures affect the representation of the different provinces?” is the next important political question, The House of Commons consists of 206 members, of whom four represent Manitoba, Prince award’s Island, and six British Columbia, the remainder being Alloted to the other proxinces according ¢§ population. By the ritish North America act, it is directed that Quebec shall have. sixty-six members, and each ot the other provinces is to have such a number of members as bears the same relation toits population as sixty-five bears to the population of Quebec. Any fraction over one-half the unit of representation gives an additional member. Accepting the above statistics as practically correct, some idea can be obtained as to the relative representa- tion of the various provinces in the next Dominion Parliament_as will be fairly near the mark. ‘The unitof representation in the Province of Quebec would appear to be 20,599, and the result of this will be not very satisfactory to the Conservatives of the Prov- ince of Ontario, much less to the Liberals. The object of the fraudulent counting, in the census of the Province of Quebe fi been | of thousands-of residents in the Eastern an Western States now appears perfectly clear. The result is to deprive Ontario of its fair’ proportion of the members of the next Do- ininion Parliament. ‘The representation’ of nebee will be 65: of Ontario, 9: of New runswick, 15; Nova Scotia, 21; Prince Ed- ward’s Island, 6; Manitoba, 4; British Col- lumbia, {—an increase of three members for Ontario, the other Provinces remaining as before. The total number of representatives will now be 209, GROWLING AT POOR LOUISE. Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Toronto, July 50.—The World says: “The rumor is again revived that Princess Louise is meditating a return to ‘exile’ in Canada. It is said we have no society in Canada for a lady with such tastes and ac- complishments as the Princess. But does anybody think of how much harm the wife of his Excellency has done to Canada by her anxiety to get away from it and the excuses made for her? The. Marquis of Lorne may approve himself a very good emigration agent, and good results may follow his mis- sion in that capacity to the Northwest, but he must work earnestly and long to undo the mischief that his wife has wrought,—or father that has been wronght through the mistake of sending her to Canada at all.” VITAL STATISTICS. Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Moytrear, July 30.—The draft of a scheme is being prepared by Dr. Larocque and his confreres for a system of Board of Ilealth to be established throughout. the Province, and ultimately through the whole Dominion, in order, among other objects, to get authoritative statistics on the subject of diseases, epidemic and endemic.

PAGES. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Orrawa, July 30.—The second report of the Civil-Service Commission now in prepa- ration will recommend an entire reconstruc- tion of the messenger service of the depart- ments, as follows: 1. All inactive or inefficient messengers now employed to be got rid of by removal or superannuation. 2. The division of employés into two classes, pages and messengers, asin the Com- mons and Senate. Itis claimed that boys being more active and serving at less wages will be better adapted for service in and between the oflices. It is recommended that they be numbered and clothed in uniform. Messengers will do duty in the corridors and carry outside mes- sages. ‘They will wear uniforms similar to the Dominion police. ARTICLE NO. 2. About a month ago Tur Trmunr gave its readers some facts reiative to the subject of lager-beer, showing its origin and antiquity. At is fast becoming as popular a beverage in France, England, and America as it is in Bavaria and Germany. The sale of beer in France alone has increased over 200 per cent yearly for the last ten years, and has ina great measure taken the place of wine asa national beverage, In Engliud within the last six months # very wealthy company has been organized and has commenced building 1 the world, to Wing lager-beer. it Bavarist you would see itants almost subsist on tho cle, and it would be hard to find a more .Tobust or healthiec set of people than are the Bavariavs. ‘The beer is never drank ice- cold, but is kept in coat cellars and drank at a temperature of about 50 degrees, thus quenching the thirst better than taking it ice- cold, ,Thousands of our readers must. have read and tollowed the advice given_in our Jast article on this subject, as our Chicago and Milwaukee brewers report a very large increase of sales for the past month. All Germans drink their beer, or rather it is supposed they do, and yet what class of citizens are more sturdy, and how seldoin we hear of any of them having dys- pensia or kidney troubles. When you do take beer do so as you should do everything, —that is, in moderation. In a special dispatch to Tum TrinunrE from Pittsburg, Pa., dated July 11, was the following briefitem: “ One man died from the effects of drinking ice- water.” Qur readers should take warning from the above paragraph and shun any iced. concoction (when rheated) as they would death itself, and take beer instead at a tem- perature of about fifty degrees. It not only quenches the thirst better, but is an excellent tonic and invigorator, especially tor those who are troub! with Kidney or dyspeptic complaints. ‘They should treat every iced article as they would a dose of poison, Such is the verdict of many physicians of the country. Those so troubled will receive much benefit by taking beer when athirst instead of such iced concoctions. THE BOTTLING TRADE, - An Establishment Where the * Best?) Goods Only Are Bottled for Family and General Use. . Avvisit to the extensive establishment of George lofmann & Bros., on the southeast corner of Lake and Sangamon streets, by our representative enables us to give our readers some idea relative to the vast busi- ness done by this enterprising firm. They employ constantly about twenty men and have all the latest improved machinery adapted to their business. They are the sole bottlers of the celebrated premium lager beer brewed by the world-renowned Philip Best Brewing Company, of Milwaukee, and, al- though onty about three years in the business, they now bottle over 200 barrels per week of this popular and. well-known beverage, which they supply to the fashionable clubs, saloons, and many private families throughout the city. The firm have lately added another ac- quisition to their business, which bids fair to so increase it that they will soon be obliged to employ more hands to perform the work. ‘They have lately been appointed sole agents in Cook County for the sale of Carlin: Co.’s celebrated London Amber Ale and Por- ter, which they supply in hogsheads, bar- rels, half-barrels, kegs or bottles. Also, Hop Tonic. Samples of the ale and porter show them to be superior to most of the British or American productions. Inconyersation with Mr. C. Morgan, the representative of Carling & Co. in. this country (who happened to be in this city last week), he assured us that the goods were composed of nothing but hops and malt of the highest grade at- tainable. The Hop Tonic isa reviving and invigorating beverage for the sick and con- yalescent, and presents a concentrated nour- ishing agent. Itis put upin pint bottles at $1.50 per dozen pints, which you should ask your druggist to obtain, or you can send yourorder by postal-card to George Hof- mann & Bros., corner of Lake and Sangamon streets, for any article they bottle, either Best’s premium Lager Beer or Carling & Co.’s Amber Ale, Porter, or Hop Tonic. The tonic is said tobeasure cure for dyspepsia. All Foods are delivered ‘free to any part of the city. a —_$__ A Mine Seller in Pine Street. San Francisco Post. He came down here to sella mine.

Long before the train pulled into the depot the neighboring streets. were throngeil with people, and when it did arrive the mass of humanity about the depot was so dense that the distinguished party could not move for some minutes. Car- riages were in. waiting, together with the various Catholic sovieties of the city, and after a brief delay the procession was formed. ‘The various societies with banners formed. the head of the procession, after which came the Reception Committees, the clergy, the | Bishop, and visiting laymen in carriages, with along line of citizens on foot The line of march, a mile in extent, gwas one continuous. crowd of eager people anxious to do honor to the new Bishop. «Along the way many of the prominent duild- ings were decorated, but it was not till the procession reached tne “ample grounds of St. Marguerite’s Church that an unusual scene was witnessed. ‘There the lawn was inclosed with a string of Chinese lanterns, just as dusk began to settle. For over a lock before reaching St. Marguerite’s,which is to be the present Cathedral church, thera was an open rank of sehsol-girls uniformly dressed in white, ana each Wearing a wreath of flowers, Asthe Bishop's carriage reached the outer end of this living fine each of the children waved a small white tlag, on the face of which was the gilt word, “Welcome.” Around the entrance to the church the crowd was simply a mass eager - to do honor to the high office and the officer. A stand capable gf seating 150 persons had been constructed™ver the passage-way from the sidewalk to the churchentrance. This was roofed with an arch, the timbers of which were handsomely trimmed with red, ° white, and blue, and festooned with ever- | greens. On the raised dais at the front, were nunerous and elegant floral offerings emblematic of the Catholic faith. As the Bishop's party left their carriages and, mounted the platform they were greeted by Prolonged appliuse. This subsiding, the. dion. John W. Henry, Mayor of Davenport, delivered the following address of welcomes Rr.-Rrv. Bisuov or Davenporr: By virtue of occupying for the time being the position of Mayor of this beautiful city, uuvon the western’ slope of the ‘Father of Waters,’ and not because Tam possessed of any reputation as a speaker, the agree- able duty has been assizned ‘me of wel- coming you to your new home. In be halt of the officials and citizens of Davenport Lassure you, Right-Reverend Bishop, that, irrespective of religious belief, we feel high- ly honored that the authorities of your Church have selected Davenport as the See city of the new dioceses within the limits of this state, and that aman of your high sand- ing in the religious world forscholarshipand piety should have been selected and sent among us to perform the important duties of the ‘high ollice of Bishop has doubly hon- ord us. In yourfuture travels through- out your diocese you may, and prob- ably will, find! other cities which claim to rival. (I hope there are none too rash as to claim to outriva}) Davenport. But while we can truthfully téil you in ad- vanee thut they are fine growing cities, and we are proud of them as sisters of the same diocese, your Reverence need never bo ashamed of the city which is a part of your title, either on account of that city’s relative importance or beauty, or on account of the respect and fealty shown by its citizens of the Roman Catholic faith to the Bishop of Davenport, or on account of the respect, at- fection, and neighborly kindness .which you will ever receive from its citizens as a whole, without regard to creed. ‘This much I may safely pledge and keep far within bounds, and if, after living amongst us for a while, you find that not only is there no cause for regret in the name of “Daven- . port,” but that, on the other hand, you have: Teason_to be thankful and proud of that name, I shall not be surprised, nor take any credit to myself for prophesying that ‘such. will be the case. Again, Right-Reverend and dear Bishop, in the name of the City and" citizens of Davenport, I bid you welcome, and may the Divine Ruler prosper your com- ing to the good of this church, of yourself, and of this city.”” ‘Mayor Henry’s remarks were cordially greeted. Bishop McMullen was, seemingly much affected during the delivery. The Mayor was followed by the Hon. XL V. Gan- non, who delivered an address of welcome on hehalt of the Catholics of the city. This over, the Bishop of Davenport, who had been standing during the two addrssses, hesitated some seconds before speaking. When his voice was first heard it faltered notice- ably, but soon recovered its wonted energy and eloquence. He . spoke of the great surprise he had met in the city of his future home, the warmth of the reception accorded him, and his ina- bility to express his gratitude. ‘Che Bishop was frequently interrupted by applause, At the close he pronounced. his blessing, and. the great crowd, numbering from 8,000 to 10,000 people, moved away.
