eas ‘ i a SY ~ (Mager Beer—Its Consumption—Its Pepulnrity— Ite Manufacture—Its Econemy—I Intexi- cating Effects. Tbe heat of the past few weeks has increased to a earful extent the “guzale, guzaie” of lager beer in this ‘eity and its environs, Its universal popularity and qemeral use makes the “handled mug” and its amber eantentsa subject worthy of comment, But a few years ‘eince, within the recoliection of young meu and maid- eas, tho quiet German, alone in his halo of tobacco wwmoke, blown from big-bowled pipes—artic!es that they ‘peine dearer than their babies—entrenched behind bar- jateades of squirming pretzels, and secure from invasion ‘ey reason of the penctrativg odors of redolent Sweitzer jend Limburger Kase, could wile the silent bours away, aqvailing m seimi-somncleat bappivers the then almost waknown and extremely unfashionable lager. That @eason of stupidity is past, The aggressive American ‘Ras stormed and captured the abdominous offshoot of Waderiand in bis very vat and taken bim prisoner. ‘Mager s now the American hot weather bever- age. Wer hallowed it when, in his patriotic ardor, the German stormed buttress and wall, shouting One flag, one country, awei lager. ‘In vhe more peaceful walks of life the German took thus family to thoir beer, and amid singing and untram- emelied domesticity, created of the snow-capped amber, me of tho Lares and Penates of the household. Those @coustemed to drink took up the brimming glass and vend it wed them kindly. Then the doctors fell in Deve with it, as they always will with anything fashion- ‘qhle, and prescribed it for the debilitated. Thus, by de- qzees lager recommended itself to tho thirsty, the con- ‘wivia!, the invalid, until nearly everybody sounded its (Praises and guiped it down. When the demand becamo ‘wemiversai the supply was Yawkeofied, lager deteriorated, ‘ead for years the guzzling fraternity have drank an in- ‘Serior article of this popular beverage, LAGER IN PHILADELPHIA, CINCINNATI, ETC. O14 fashioned beer in this day has toa degree given @way to its young rival everywhere in this country. In Philadelphia upwards of 6,500,000 gallons of beer are @ieposed of in the course of a year. In Cincinnati, during ‘Swelve months just passed, 3,500,000 gallons were “@old by the lager beer dealers there. The statistics, @enth by month, show that the warmer the weathor ‘the greater is the amount of lager consumed. The month of Fobruary exhibits the least imbibing of this overage. The brewers of the “Queen City” are cele- ‘rated at home and abroad for the exclient quality of Meer they are capable of producing. It bears a high @ame in the adjacent cities, and large quantities are ‘ehipped to various places South and West, ‘There are @ome twenty-five breweries located in that city, many vol them of large size and capable of producing minia- are oceans of the favorite beverage. The “City of Brotherly Love,”’ however, surpasses Cincinnati in this as there are witbin its precincts some forty or y breweres, the majority of whica produce immense jab of beer, and the articie enjoys a reputation world wide, LAGER IN NEW YORE. For New York there are now no obtainable figures which wiil eveu convey an approximate idea of the amount of lager actvaliy drank or that annually pro- duced.

Our Jewish fellow citizens have at length undertaken the work of establishing a literary institution of bigh order, in which the tenets and literature of the Hebrews may be prominently taught, The location is fixed at Philadelphia, and Maimonides Colleze is the significant mame chosen. The liberal aim and spirit of tho college is thus set forth by the editor of the Jewish Messenger of this city:— The 5 or of the college is broad and catholic, Not sectarian in its foundation or scope, it invites all, Christians and Jews, conservatives or radicals, to participate in the benefits of the first regular course of Hebrew study attempted in thie coun- try. Aiming to develop an intelligent knowledge of Judaism, the Bible and Hebrew literature, it will not close its doors to thozo who may afterwards employ the information there acquired merely to liveralize their ‘views, or who may determine to pursue other than pro- fessional avocations. The college does notexact any pidge of its students, that thoy will be ministers, or orthodox, or reform teachers, or that they wiil become proselytes, Its main object, and its holiest purpose and aim will be the creation of a higher in‘elligence among American Israelites, a deeper, more enlightened app:e- ciation of their faith and ancestra! history, not alone by educating ministers and teachers of profound attain- ments, but by giving the young an opportunity here- tofore denied them of becoming acquainted with the exhaustiess treasures of Hebrew learning. COURT OF SPECIAL SESSIONS. Before Police Magistrate Kelley. The calendar yesterday morning at the Tombs was disposed of in very summary and business-like man- ner by Justice Kelly. The majority of the cases on the list were for assault and battery; next to these, petty larceny offenders put in a fair appearance, and there was a dash of indecent assaults and cases of drunkenness to give flavor to the panel. On the Justice taking his seat, which he did at the early hour of nine o'clock, and the usher of the court bawling out the “Oyez! oyez!’’ customary to the occa- sion, the different counsellors and Tombs “‘shystere”” uprose their various forms to get the winning side of the representative of law and justice seated on the bench. This one wanted acase adjourned for a week, ten days, a month, the last day of term. That one’s client had been brought there under the most scandalous pretences. The other one had no witnors, All, in fact, had some ‘excuse to offer why justice should be evaded and the law wented from taking its due course. The Clerk of the Jourt was busy. His office is no sinecure, and he had to Keep up an incessant howling to plaintiffs and defend- ants—we beg their respective lons, complainants and accused—to mind and “post” the Justice as to all details ot the cases, hand in dockets and affidavits and make himeolf generally useful on the occasion. In the high seated enclosure on the left of the Court was the temporary lock up tor remanded and other prisoners. In front of the Justice the lawyer's tabie; the body of the court filled with star gazers and curiosity seckers, moreover, nevertheless and notwithstanding, the Catholics in the United States. It bas been estimated that the numbor of Catholics in the United States im 1830 was 450,000, in 1840 it was 960,000, and 4,400,000 in 1860, According to these esti- mates the Catholics double in mamber every ten years, and im 1870 we esball have eight or nine millions, or nearly one-fifth of the whole ——— Seventy-five years avo the United States did not havea single Cath- alle et.
