Vlv» Don Carlos! The Kpanl.ti Kadi,
cal. In Danger.
Tbe telegram from Bayonne printed else
where ia vary Important. It ahowa what head
way tbe Cartiste are meklog, and, a. we be
lieve, portends very clearly tbe apeedy downfall
of tba Radical Republic, ao.called, that baa
been setup In Spain in imitation of the eonoern
on thte aide tbe Atlantia.
We hare no tort of sympathy for anoh gov
ernments. Under tbe guise of liberty they are
really despotisms of the moat odious and dan
gerous description—tbe rule of a mob Instead
of ona man. Wa htva assn nothing ia the
character or actions of tbe Spanish people to
warrant the belief that they are either for or
cxn appreciate tbe benefits of genuine Repub
lican government, and they are certainly leas
fitted to be entrusted with the dangerous po
are given them nnder the modern system of
universal suffrage and so called eqaality. Don
Carlos may give them a bad government, bnt
not worse tbsu they have now. With the
lessons and experience learned in years of exile,
he may sea his true policy and duty and estab
lish a constitutional monarchy sritb its wise
checks, its wholesome conservatism, and mild,
yet vlgoronaadminlstration of the law. Whether
the Spaniards are even prepared for that, wa
doubt, bat rarely the experiment is worth try
ing. It cannot so completely fail in all the
easentia'a that make np stable, sensible govern
ment as tbe one the Radicals have organized,
and which ia so seriously menaced by Don
Carlos and his adherents. It may sound like
treason to the “beat government,”’ etc., bnt wa
osn't help wishing Don Carlos mnch Inek and a
apeedy triumph.
Bibulous Fluid*.
Rooent estimates made from the most authen
tic statist! *i to be procured, chow that tbe
liquor business of the oouutry has developed
Into Immense proportions. The sotnal ontlay
by dealers la pot down for the past year at
$163,000,000, which, when resold at retail and
by the drink, foots np tho enormous sum of
$400,000,000. This le arrived at by the follow
ing oelenlatlon: Tbe average cost per gallon to
dealers Is plaoed at $3. Tbe number of licensed
barrooms in ths United States is about 160,000,
whioh are served by 300,000 clerks.
Tho ratnros show the total manufacture of
liquors in 1871 to have been 330,000 gallons per
diem. Dadnot one half for tbe aloohol need in
tbe arts, and there la a remainder of 115,000 gal
lons for dcmestlo oonsnmptioo. The army
ration givea 64 drinks, or half gills, to a gallon.
Bay then that one-tenth of our whole popula
tion take bnt two drinks dally, this wonld give
a total of 7,360,000 drinks for each day of the
year—which at IS cents per glass would amount
In round numbers to $100,000 per d>y, or
$365,000,000 per annum.
In the above no allowaoc i is made for the
watering of high proof spirits, whioh ia so ex
tensively praotloed.
Ko business pays raoh pt.idlgions profits,
henoe the almost infinite mnltiplioution of grog
shops in every hamlet, and at every cross road
In the oenntry. It is oatimated that these will
average one to every one hundred able bodied
adnlt citizens in tbe Union.
Test as these figures are, thoy prove that wo
are not in reality a nation of hard drinkers, if
ona-tenth of tbe people at two drinks per day,
.oan oonanme all the mannfaotnred spfrita of the
oenntry available for bibulous purposes. Tba
amount of Imported liquors Is so small, as not
■erioualy to disturb tbe above figure*.
Of malt liquors there ere 8,000,000 barrels
prodnoed annually, paying a brewer’s tax of
$53,000,000. This measured oot, wonld give
about 100 half-plot glasses a year to eaoh in
habitant of tbe United States, or less than half
a gill per day for every person—not moro than
enough to zot as a gentle tomo or appetizer to
the moat delieate individual. But onr Tentonto
friends absorb by far the greater portion them
selves, so that Ameriotna proper, cannot be
oalled a beer drinking people.
On tbe whole, therefore, matters appear
quite cheerful to tbe lovers of (cmperauco, and
we are far from being a besotted and drunken
nation.
Sumptuary laws and evarynttempt forcibly to
prohibit thense of intoxicating liquors aaabev
erage, xo far, have proved n'.terly abortive, and
indeed tend but to incrauae the evil sought to
be abated. God’s creatures were all made for
man’s nse, and It Is a question of conscience
and morality whioh every one must Bottle for
himself, whether to abstain wholly or not from
tho on of ardent spirits in every form. In a
majority of oases “handle not taste not” would
be the safer oouree, but each must decide that
point for himself, and this is eminently ju9t
and proper. ’

This Eastern potentate ia being very eitien-
eivety lioruzad and Lumbngged too, by hia Eng

don of a country Lumpkin into the sports and
amusements of the country, and snjuys himself
hugely. It is whispered that he will add to his

Th. correspondent of the World says “it is
not trne, I believe, that these ladies are-to be
lodged not very far from Herat, *t a plaoe which
wilt hereafter be known as ‘Sherat.’ ”
Buth Houses of Parliament almost made buf
foons of themselves for the amusement of His
Serene Highness, aa will bo seen from tha fol
lowing extract, taken from tbe World of the
ICtb inat :
When tbs Shah entered the Houxe of Lords
ye-trrday afternoon, there waa no bnitbeas go
ing on, and tbeir lordships (of whom there waa
a good attendance, including a strong array of
hiabopej were ktod enough to get np a mock
debate for tia delight, the Duke of Hiebmond
Oifek Tig a ap-ech npon the wickrd practice of
the War Department in enlieting soldiers who
mei-nrt l le-a than thirty three inches aronnd
ths cheat. When tbs Shah went Irto the House
of Cnmmone tbe bill nnder consideration was
one for the repair of a oouutry road; but to
amnio His Majesty a division was Bulled for
Doou it, ana tbe members, with Gladstone at
their head, went through their paces to show
him how the thing was done. It waa very good-
natured in them; but it wax Tery childishly
good-natured, all the asms.
Afterward!, the Shah visited Westminster
Abbey. He did not express himself specially
delighted with the anoient tombs and moth-
eaten banners of that venerable fane; bnt
when treated to • pugiliatio eoooonter between
six prize-fighters, by the Marqnie of Queens-
berry in his palace, he was perfectly charmed.
Indeed, he said it was “the best thing he hsd
seen in England,” and distributed ooin in hand
falls to ths athlets, besides presenting a meg-
nifloent pipe to ths Marquis.
Now If thla great Asiatio oould be indnoed to
visit Gotham, how hippy It would make that
king aud prince loving people. The odds
wonld be In favor of Barnom’s being appointed
grand vizier, a bashaw with at least twenty
tails, or to some other exalted position, if none
of these offioee attach to the Fenian throne.
Depend npon it, he wonld show him ronnd, and
turn an honest penny by it, too.
THE SEOK6U PRKM.
“Anything to Bent Yule.”
This was the universal cry among the contest
ants for the pnzx in the grand regatta that came
off yesterday at Springfield, Mtssaobnaatts, bat
it seems not to have amonnted to much, as Yale
won handsomely. This raoo hex exalted greet
interest in New Eigtand and the Northern
Suites, generally, alt the alnmit of tbx various
ootlegos renewing tbeir youth in talking, specu
lating and betting npon the result. Woy the
opposition to Vile we do not know, unless she
has been basting tbe others heretofore and they
thirsted for revenge. It is qnite a feather in
her osp to have carried off thj honors against
sash formidable opposition, and we are rather
disposed torejoieo over her viotoryon the prin
ciple of antagonizing combinations.
Tbe Northern students in this matter are set
ting a first rate example to oar own youth.
They are developing tbeir mnaole ax well as
their minds, and laying in a stock of health and
vigor thxt will enable them tbs better to sustain
the strain of hard study. We ventore the opin
ion that few oases of consumption or general
breaking down will bo developed among those
who take a atont poll at the oars every day. We
hope to see onr yonng men who are at college
deTotlng more attention to such athletic sports.
The more hours of loisnro they give to them, the
less timo and temptation there will bo for dissi
pation. There need not be any great expendi
ture of money, either. What they want is the
physical training aad expansion that comes so
surely from tbe exercise—not costly boats or
many of them. There ought to be two or three
clubs here and at Athens, at least. Let us hare
more boat racing, and less lounging and daw
dling leisure hours.
The Late Firm ol Grlflln A HofTaian,
Baltimore.
This home was incorrectly reported as hav*
ing fatted, by some of the press of the oouutry.
Tho partnership expired by its own limitation.
In oonaequenoe of disagreement in the terms
of settlement between the parties however, the
only legal mode of adjusting differences waa
resorted to by application to the courts for a
receiver and distributor of the assets of the
firm. These are oonfilently stated to be more
than the liabilities, so that every creditor W.U
be fully paid as soon as tho receiver is ready to
make a dividend. In the meantime, Maj. Grif
fin of the late firm, also makes a personal guar
anty of full settlement of each and every law-
fat claim against ths oonoern. Of Mr. Griffin,
tbe New York D»y Book thus speaks: “We
know that he has tbe reputation of being an ex
ceedingly shrewd, aetive, and prudent business
He has decided character, albeit some
what nervous and impetnoua.”
We mike these steiemanta aa an act of jus-
tioe to thin gentleman, who still carries on tbe
old basinsas in hie own name. By the way, he
ta proeecaung several papers for libel, and with
some raeoees.

Re Reverence for the Gridiron.
A Fourth of July orator dowu South—one
Alexander 8h Clair Abrams—wishes It to be
distinctly uodirstood that be feels no venera
tion for » flig “from the folds of which the
blood of two hundred thousand Southern men
Is dripping, and whioh has for twelve years
been an emblem of oppression, of bnmlliation,
and of degradation to the South." Mr. Aorsms
will feel better if he lives long enough.—JV’rtc

Not even will call Mr. Abrams daft. If
his head Is always as level as when penning the
above. To talk of veneration for the symbol
of Southern humiliation, oontlnaed oppression,
and sickening tyranny, as evidenced by the in-
ctrcentloa of her sons in Sing Sing; the de
nial of a fair trial by jnry; the overthrow of
State sovereignty at least in one oue ; the at
tempted destruction of ths barriers of caste,
and the wholesale plunder of the pnblio treasury,
to like oompariug tbe Bible with the Alooran—
making truth the peer of falsehood, aud purity
and virtue synonyms for oonuption and degra
dation.
No. Ths Sonth does not reversnoe the fltg
nnder whioh she onoe marched to viotory and
glory, because Us folds float over the usurpers
of true liberty, and the destroyers of tba consti
tution of our fathers. Jostioe, reform aud time
alone oan change the animus of her people from
ths coldest indifference, to say no more, to tbe
love of days of yore. Of oonree these remarks
are intended to apply only to the radioal regime,
who control and prostitute that flig to their own
base and selfish purposes. With tha good men
end tre of the North—the conservative ele
ment who stand In the breach and do battle
valiantly for free government, and the righto
of their suffering brethren cf the same name
and lineage, we can strike heads end affiliate
most heartily. Bnt what honest man of any

radicalism has been thoroughly cleansed, and

Hr. Davis Serenaded at St. Loot* by
Nome of hi* Former Slaves.
The St. Louis Christian Advocate says during
ex-President Davis’ recent visit to that oily, and
while he was being oalled on by crowds of re-
speotable citizsna, an! reoeiving manifestations
of respeot from hundreds of the most promi
nent and worthy ladles and gentlemen of ths
oity, there oocnrred a little episode of a very
pleasing character. Oue night daring his stay
at ths Planters’ House he was serenaded byjomt
oolorad people who were formerly his slaves.
After their duloet strains hsd oeased, Mr. Davis
oalled them into his room, where, after oordial
greetings on both sides acd a little ohat about
old times, he mads eaoh a handsome present
At another tlms daring hia stay ha wss called
on by an ‘old aunty,’ who bad been the narae of
his eldest child. The affection that the ex-
slaves manifested for their former master and
the interest which he manifested for them and
their future welfare were really affeoting.

A Hailstorm on tbe Prairie—An Incident
of tbe Yellow none Expedition.
Tbe following interesting letter from the Yel
lowstone expedition brings the latest informs
tion that has been published of the movements
of the party and their perils and adventures:
In Camp, Mud Crete. Jane 28, 1873.
We have only made abonl fifty or sixty miles
of line, and are delayed here by seme broken
wagons. Ouster’s cavalry joined ua last night
They present a fine appearanoo on the march,
acd the 700 look like 10,000.
We had a terrific hail-storm three davs since,
that came near costing many lives and putting
a stop to the whole expedition. We were re
turning from work in the evening when a thun
derstorm came up, and E. and myself, wbo
were together, joined the cavalry esoorti The
etorm became more violent still, and it grew ns
dark almost os night The hail began to fall
in larger and larger stones, and to sling con
siderably. The horses gut very restive nnder
their pelting, acd some of them unmanageable.
Snddeniy three vivid flushes of lightning struck
the earth near ns, and tbe moet terrific hail
storm I ever witnessed fell upon us. One of
tbe soldiers, who bad probably witnessed some
thing of the kind before, cried out, “A hail
storm on the prairies! Go for the timber like
h—1!” And in an instant tbe whole troop were
going down hill in a full run. The hail now
had attained the size of large marbles, and every
one that struck raised a lump on the flesh. Many
of ns were tbrowo, and some sneoeeded in stop
ping their horses, dismounted, and tried tn
bo’d them. I had suoceedud in getting eff
my horse, and was straggling with him, for
he was frantic with pain, when two riderless
steeds rushed by, rad with a jerk he threw me
headlong on the ground, wrenched the bridle
from me and disappeared in the dense mist.
The pelting of the storm was terrible, and I
rushed for shelter towards a little patch of
brn»h, and crawled into it to And two cavalry
soldiers already there. But by getting my hat
tight upon my head I protected it from all bat
the sliding stones, and shielded my body by
stretching a coat on my arm and holding that
op high. I got some severe welts on the elbow
though, that left blaok and blue marks. Yon
may judge of the force of the falling stones
when I tell you that hats of felt were torn liter
ally to rags, and some stones even penetrated
the brims of thick straw bats. A silver cup
(thick), which was exposed to the storm, was
indented as if by falling on th. floor.
Tbo Real Significance of It.
Under this head the Springfield Republican
say* t
Onoe upon a time, as trsdition reports, there
lived a worthy Israelite who was tormented by
a hankering after the forbidden food. At last,
his cariosity and appetite got the better of his
religions principles; he ordered a pork chop
for dinner. Absorbed in the sinfnl, delightful
repast, he did not notice the approach of a
thunder storm. Suddenly a loud clap set the
windows rattling. Dropping his knife and fork
in psnio—“Holy Abraham,” he exclaimed,
“what a fuss about a little pieoe of pork!”
A good many honorable senators and repre
sentatives regard the storm of popular indigua*
tion now blowing with very much the same feel
ing. They are soared, but they are also
aggrieved. They find it quite uncalled for and
out of all proportion to tbe exoiting cause.—
Reoolleotlng their many previous visits to tbe
publio pork-barrel, the muoh bigger loads lug
ged away on those occasions, the utter indiffer
ence displayed by tho people, this hue aud-ory
over the Batary grab, aotnally seeming to grow
louder from month to month, puzzles quite as
muoh as it alarms them. Thoy had not counted
on It at ell, acd they find it very nnresionahla
ana abaurd.
The Republican goes on to say—and we
think it “rings the bell”—that what the people
want to dearly understand is, that the grab is
only an ontward and visible sign of an inward
and spiritual disgrace; a snrfaoe symptom of
disease that is attaoking all the vital f unc
tions of the body politio, that has already been
allowed to make dangerous headway, and that
is sure to terminate fatally unless its progress
is in some way arrested.. Tha grab is compar
atively a very small and trivial affair; the dis
eased oondition of politios, publio sentiment
and legislative morality, which made it possi
ble, demands the moet serious attention, as it
msy well excite the gravest anxiety, of every
intelligent and patriotic oitizen. That public
servants should openly and directly put their
hands into the publio treasury for the benefit
of their own pookets, merely shows how far we
have gone on a perilous road. It is a mile
stone, and it is*well the people shonld be star
tled by it and should call a halt in front of it.
Bat it will avail them very little to demolish
the mile-stone. The important thing is to face
about and get back as aoon as possible to the
highway.

St. Louis, July 14.—A dispatch from Des
Moines, says that at an Anti-Monopoly Conven
tion held there on Saturday a fall oonnty tioket
was nominated aud delegates elected to a State
convention. Resolutions were passed deolaiing
that no support should be given to any man for
office who to not in full sympathy with the pro
ducers and mannfaotorers and opposed to mo
nopolies ; also declaring that the dootrine of
the vested rights of railroad corporations which
exempts them from legislative control has no
plaoe in the jurisprudence of a free people; de
manding reform in the matter of the salaries of
pnblio officers; denouncing the baok pay sal
ary-grab and the President for Bigning the law,
rad demanding political reform and strict econ
omy in State and county affairs. The resolutions
also invited all persons to participate in this
movement.
Stokes’ $11,000 Doo.—There to an $11,000
dog In this oity. This is a bare statement of
faot. The way of it is this: The now uncom
fortably famous Mr. Stokes, of the New York
Tombs, owned a setter reputed the best hunting
dog in the city. Mr. Harker, the owner of the
noted stables, whose ohief glories are now at
Hampden Park, awaiting the fall meeting,
wanted the setter and tried to purchase him
but Stokes had just refused $C00 for him, rad
didn’t want to Bell the dog. Finally, however,
he told Harker that as perhaps his hnntiDg days
were over, although ho wonld not sell he would
make him (Harker) a present of the dog. The
generous Harker would not, however, accept
the friendly offer withont a reciprocal one, acd
he had offered $1,000, engaged to give him
the profit within a specified time, on 1,000 shares
of a eertain railroad stock. A rapid turn in the
market brought the aforesaid stock to sn ad
vance of $11 a share, and that he offered
promptly to make over to Stokes far the setter.
The speculative young man, however, said.
‘'Let it wait awhile; perhaps I shall make more
yet.” Instead of more he made lees; the stock
fell M swiftly as it had risen, and dropped fiat
on the market So for a little while the setter
that Mr. Harker prizes so highly, and that can
be seen by the cartons in Hampden Park, wm
worth $11,000. What a halo of glory ec:om
passes that remarkable dog!—Springfield Re
publican.
