Failure of the Crops -Aid Being Solicited
for the Stitferers-7The Facts Suppress.
rd for Fear ot Injuring the State.
DES MOINES, Ia., Sept. 23.—A. gentleman
is here soliciting aid for the people of
Phillips, Sherman, Decatur, Sheridan,
Rawlins and other counties in Kansas. In
Norton county 1.800 people are. in absolute
want of food, the wheat crop in the above
counties having failed. In June the ground
was ploughed up and planted to corn,which
has been destroyed by the web worm. One
family lived eleveu -weeks on wheat and
bran and another three weeks on -cornmeal.
The loeal papers, it is aaserted, suppress
the facts, as they would -injure the state.
A public moeting has been called here for
this es -tiling to ,iirocure supplies. -

Beer Drinking in England.
BY .RICHARD (HUNT WHITE. •
The Englishman, and particularly the
Englishman of the laboring class, is wed-
ded to his beer. He feels that it is the
great comfort, and one of the very few en-
joyments, of his life. - And not only is the
chocolate-reom or any other like contriv-
ance slow,' but there is 'about it an
impli-
cation that he is taken in hand and managed
by his betters, like a -child, Which he not
uonaturally resents. Rightly or wrongly,
he feels more ashamed of being treated.in
this way than he -does of . being
drunk once a week—one, however, being
here a word of wide signification. For
in these cases the- same drunk' often
extends from Saturday night to Monday
and not unfrequently into Tuesday. The
result of this habit-, which. may almoat. be
called a custom, is deplbrable and- socially
injurious to a degree of which we 111
America -have a very imperfect idea. The
beer.of England. is not like the light Ger-
man 'beer which has come so much into
Vogue bete of late. years under the name of
'lager;' and 9f which a man of any stabil-
ity of brain and knee might drink enough
to swim in without feeling any other effect
than that of unpleasant°distention ; it is
heady; strongly - narcotic and -apparently not
exhilarating, but depressing. Drunk in large
quantities, after a short period of excite-
ment it dulls the brain and fills the drink-
er's whole -bulk witlrliquid stupefaction.
Ile beConies not intoxicated, but besotted.
Not only laboring men, and men who ought
to labor -but do- not, give themselves up to
this .debasing habit of b-eersdrunkenness

MONTRE, bept. 27.—This afternoon
quite a large and excited gathering of Sir
John Macdonald's followers assembled at

upon his way to Ottawa. There had. been
placed on the track numerous' torpedoes,
which were exploded as a sort of salute to
Sir John, and upon his arrival Mr. A. A.
Ogilvie called fer three cheers; which vvere
given with a will. Mr. Clia,pleau accom-
panied.Sir John, and after the formalities
had been -indulged in, Mr. Natitel presented
from the Club Cartier a; complimentary
and congratolatory address, to which Sir
John replied as follows:
• GsuaraamEN,a--Allow me to return my
most sincere thanks for this address. It is
especially gratifying to me to receive this
greeting from the younagraen of Canada.-
I am an old rcia)a myself, and cannot hope
to see the culmination and completion of
thereat enterprise on which I have been
engaged. Yoti, gentlemen, in cominon with -
the rest of th p young men of Canada, can
have that pleOsure; and I may say that pro-
fit. I trust that I shall be able to look
from another, and I hope a.
, and see the young people of

rate �f twenty-five miles all
