AfiKBIlA OS THE WATER.
America has again come out ahead in
the international yacht race. The Vol
unteer distanced the Thistle in the race
yesterday. It is a little remarkable that
our country has thus far been successful
in every lace. The English vessel lias
always been beaten, and the good luck
which sided with our countrymen at the
start 1ms never deserted them. i , , „ , ,„„ u
The 1 mted States seems to be natural- j IT . , u

of 1812 the world was surprised "by the
humbling of England’s power on the seas
by our privateers, and a bright
future for our navy was predicted.

Since the close of the war, in spite of
immense appropriations, the navy lias
declined until it is the laughing stock of
the whole country. Hundreds of millions
have been squandered with no results,
and we may be said to have now no
navy. At the same time our merchant
vessels have decreased in number until
the American flag is almost banished
from the seas.
In the midst of all our discourage
ments on the sea, we hail with pride the
little crumb of comfort the Volunteer
gives us. She has given another proof
of American Beamanship, and we hope
that we may some day gain the prestige
on the water that our early history
promised. ________ ‘
THE HKKK WE 1IUI.NK.
People are not always sure of what
they drink. We have often heard of im
pure whisky, but now comes a complaint
against beer. This complaint has been
made at headquarters at Washington,
and Mr. Miller, commissioner of internal
revenue, in response to an inquiry re
garding the report that he intended
having samples of the beer put on the
market by the various breweries
analyzed, said : “Yes, it is true that we
intend to have the beer now
being sold throughout the coun
try tested, to determine its purity
or impurity. We have an excellent
chemist and he is getting ready io make
the tests. Oh, no, we shall not call upon
the breweries respectively for samples.
We will purchase samples of the retail
dealers and will label each one distinctly.
In (hnt way we will get the beer just as
it is on the market. Of course we will
not undertake to analyze samples of all
the breweries in the country at once, AVe
will purchase samples here and there
throughout the country, and they will
be sent here. The chemist can perhaps
analyze forty different samples in a day.
The work will bo prosecuted from time
to time. As there will be no system for
procuring the beer, no brewer will lie
able to tell when Ida product is to be ex
amined.”
By these official tests the purity of the
beer put on the market will ho deter
mined. So much lias been published ot
late in regard to the adulteration of beer
that it is deemed necessary to make
these official tests for the protection of
the public. The result of the analyses
will be made public.

There is going to be a great deal of
trouble in New A'ork city over the ap
pointment of the tilth inspector of elec

•claims these inspectors on the ground of
the vote east for its candidate last fall,

sists that it is entitled to the recognition.
The appointments are substantially made
hv the police commissioners, two of
whom are republicans and two demo

The house of P. 11. Warder, on K
.street, Washington, is the handsomest
private residence in tlmt city. Mr. War
der is a very wealthy man, who for
merly lived in Springflcld, Ohio, liis
recently erected inamion%t the capital
is a palace. Wuen completely finished
and furnished, the house will have cost
$ 100,(XXi. The house is especially notice
able for the great variety of rare mar
bles used io its construction. The din
ing-room is the most striking feature of
the house, and is said to ho the linest
room oft lie kind in America.
The AVaterbury American (lnd.1 draws
this lesson from the talk about the al
leged Foraker snub: “The fact is that
this nation of 50,000,000 thinking people,
not being able yet to divide in politics on
any great issue of principle, are abnor
mally interested just at present in per
j-oue. Incidents have tended to g ; ve
piquancy to this interest, until news
|>aj>er reporters and spectators generally
•>n public occasions are waUhinginleniii
the hows and frowns of men and the
.■miles and snubs of women. One of
these days, when parties divide on the
tariff, foreign immigration, public im
provements, or some oilier great subject
on which we are now all mixed up, in
dividuals will sink into comparative in
significance, and we shall cease to be a
ttutiou. vf babbling gossips.”

No change in the editorial manage
ment of any paper iu_ Georgia would
have excited the same interest as that
which lias just, taken place in the Macon
Telegraph. The people, while they may
not at nil times have admired the policy
of the Telegraph, have always held in
high regard its open and manly advo
cacy of whatever cause it espoused. In
regard to the new management Mr. J. W.
Campbell, the new president of (lie
company, 1ms the fallowing to say:
In assuming the management of the
Macon Telegraph, it is but right that 1
should briefly outline the future policy
of the paper. I regard the present tariff
rates us unnecessarily high and shall sup
port the president and the great body of
the democratic party ill their efforts to
reduce the same. A gradual reduction
that will not seriously interfere with
manufacturing interests seems to be the
reasonable course. 1 shall not forget that
the agricultural interests of the country
must be considered in reaching u juijt
conclusion.
1 shall do all in my power to support
our gallant governor and patriotic legis
lature in the efforts to advance the wel
fare of the state, and will especially de
vote myself to every object which prom
ises advancement of the material, intel
lectual and moral condition of the city of
Macon."
Mr. Campbell’s views on public mat
tors, in the opinion of tne Enquikkr-Scx
are in accord with those of a large ma
jority of the people of Georgia. His po
aition on important national and state
politics 6eems to us to be eminently cor
rect.
_£ome time ago tlie wife of John Hostei
ter, of Perry county, Pa., gave birth to
triplets, two boys and a girl. Tlie voun,
sters were named Grover, Cleveland and
Frances, respectively. Mr. Hostetter is
in receipt of a letter from the president,
thanking him for the compliment con
ferred on himself and Mra. Cleveland

A colored blacksmith, who works every day at
his forge, and who is 100 years old, is a resident
of Ozark, Ark. His name is Perkins. He was
sold on the block in New Orleans and taken to
Arkansas in 1840.
Prince Bismarck possesses one of the largest
and finest forests in northern Germany, and with
the exception of Prince Furstenberg, who is lord
of Scwarzwald, Ue is probably the largest timber
merchant in the empire.
Among the Romans, if a man kissed his be
trothed, she gained thereby the half of his effoc s
in the event of his dying before the celebration
of their marriage; if the lady herself died under
the same circumstances, her heirs or nearest of
kin took the half due to her. A kiss was regard
ed very seriously by the ancient Romans.
One of the curiosities with the Ban Diego, Cal.,

Encampment will be a 600-pound turtle taken

been sufficiently viewed by the gathered thou
sands of boys in blue, turtle soup will be on the
bill of fare.
Haggard, the novelist, is accused of plagarism.
In 1878 Miss Medoru Clark claims to have writteu
the lines for the Inter-Ocean, “When hands that
close thine own in seemiag truth, or linger iu ca
ress upon thy bead, have rudely broken idols of
thy youth, and catt them down amid their treas
ures dead.” Miss Clark produces the file and
proves her case.
Since the death of Jos ph Gilley, on Saturday,
Simon CVmeron is the oldest surviving eX’Sena-
tor. He was born in 1799, and is followed by ex-
Senator James Bradbury, of Maine, bom in 1805;
Jelle/son D^vis, born in 1808, and Hannibal Ham
lin, born in 1809. Mr. Cameron served in tho
senate with Messrs. Cilley, Bradbury, Davis and
Hamlin.
Dr. Morell Mackenzie has earned the knight •
hoed conferred upon him for hts service in at
tending the crown prince of Germany. He was
nearly made ill by his work on the case, and
once while he was engaged in clearing foul mat
ter .rom the thro».t of his patient the latter,
through nervous pain, bit him savagely in the
finger. Ho feared blood poisoning at first from
th*s bite, but no serious results have so far de
veloped.
The result of the recruiting for the regular
army in England for the first six months of the
present year bus bee i far below the average • f

with 18,626 in the same period of last year, 20,524
in the same period ofl8S5, and 17,083 in the same
pe-.lod of 1884. Since January there has been a
continuous decline in tho numbers enlisted.
