The oldest amateur paper in the country is said to
6c the Omaha Excelsior, ended by tho son of the exMayor
of that olty. itis now six years ol age, but,
"owing to reasons which ihe editor,"&o.,ls about to suspend.
Tho Hue I yet and the Hoys' Herald arc also among
the pioneer?. Tho average life ol these mimic journals,
however, Is only uhout a year, enthusiasm or funds, or
both, being by (hat time generally exhausted. As u
rule they aro published monthly, ut a cost ol from
(IIteen to lorty dollars, and the subscription prlco
ranges from twenty-live to lilty cents per annum.
Advertising Is loirly proportioned to the reading
matter, and in one instance the enterprising
proprietor loand himsell, at tho end of
six mouths, just fltiy-fnur dollars ahead.

THE SHRINE OF GAMURINUS.
FORTY BREWERS SUBMITTING SAMPLES TO THE
TASTE OF NEW YORK LBS? AN INTERESTING
SCENE AT CONCORDIA HALL.
King (Janihrluns is installed for the flrsl three days
of iho pre.-ent week in the Concordia Aaariubly
Rooms. Nos. 28 and 30 avenue A. A custom, old in
Kurono, but now in this country, is that of deciding
the respective merits of tho various brewings of beer
by menus ot tli~ ballot bos, ana more thao u score oi
American brewers ore submitting their munulacturcs
to such u test at Concordia Hull. Some tltnc smce the
Cumbrians Vereiu?a society comprising from ono
hundred and illty to two hundred brewers ol this
city?conceived the idea of holding n beer testing festival,
uud to that end sent invitations to tho more
prominent movers throughout tho country to
send six kegs each, us specimens or their
best brewing. The luvltilion was generally accepted,
rnu it is supposed that at least lorly brewers from
.Sow York, Newark, Milwaukee, Cincinnati ana other
cities, distinguished for their enormous producilon of
beer, will submit to tho proposed test.
Yesterday afternoon, at two o'clock, tbo festival
begau. At tho appointed hour the doors wore thrown
open and King Guuibrmus, attired In a gorgeous costume,
uud bearing an immense goblet lu his right band
and lu his leli a gloutntug sword, marched into tno
hull, uttended by two brightly drostod pages and followed
by the members of the Uuuibriuus Vereiu, walking
two und two. Alter proceeding three tunes uboul
the room thn procession halted, and the King, mounting
u convenient stand, delivered an address
upon tbo object ol tho leslivul und the nature
or its operations. The object, ho said, was
to decrease the importation of lager bo> r by sbowing
the superiority ol that 01 American make, lhe result
ol the lestivul will be to dcieruituo winch ot liioAinoriI
can brewers produces the best beer, aud the modus
| operundi Is us follows:?Every brewer seeds six kegs,
> two ol which are put ou tup each day ao carefully
wrapped in cunvas as to conceal the name ol the
' maker. The secret is kuowo only to a committee of
I three, who are sworn not 10 divulge it. The kens arc
distinguished by numbers uud ranged in u double row
down tue centre ot tno room. Tho udmisslou too is
1 twenty live cents, wnich entitles the purchaser to six
glasses ol lager and u ticket bearing the words in
German, "Taste, condition, color." Haviug drunk his
six giussos ol beer the voter writes ou Ills ticket tno
number ol tho keg which he prefers, the printed
words telling the qualities in which it excels,
liy covering each keg in canvas the make oi the beer
is successlully concealed, una connoisseurs do their
best to distinguish tho various brands by tasting tho
lager. It is said that the manufacturers theuiseivcs
Iruijuoutjy lull to recoguizc their owu make. It Is u
wise brewer who knows tils owu beer. The I'eslivul is
ol course chiefly interesting to persons cuguged in too
munuhiciure und sale ol lugor, und the attendance is
conlinad ulinost exclusively to brewers und saloon
1 keepers. Various ineaus, however, have been couI
trived to secure u miscellaneous assemblage. A baud

THE EXCISE MUDDLE.
A good many liquor dealers made anxious Inquiries
at the olllce ol the Hoard ol Excise yesterday lu regard
to tlio elloct ol the recent decision of the Court ol Appeals.
To ull the reply was the same?namely, that
tlio law would be enforced in Its plain meaning. All
persons applying (or licenses will be expected to show
lliui they mean to keep a hotel In good lalth, and
President Morton says that while it will not bo necessary
that every place should bo on tbe scale ol rnsgnillcence
adopted by some ol oar hotels, yet It must
be shown that each niece will bo u hotel
within the moaning of the law. Evory application
will he judged upon its inoriis, mid
tlio intimation Is lliui a good deal 01 discrimination
wnl be shown lu tlio grunting ol licenses. 11,
however, all the loqulremouls of the law are coinidio
i with u license cuuuol be refused. It will lio seen
lrom this the mo-mug ol i'resldeut Morton's observations
lies m tlio application ol them. Many ol tlio
liquor dealers arc now witboul licenses, ami as a large
proportion of llieni will not be able to comply with
the law, It is likely thul they will go on uoiug business
until closed by tue police. As a iimilur of
course, numerous police raids are umoug tlio probabilities
ol the ntnr luiuro. No sign has yet been
given as to when they will begin, but unlicensed dealer.-.
will look out lor them belore many days. As the
Ho d'd ol Kxcisu can do nothing except consider uppil|
callous lor license and grant or reject them, the w hole
| question devolves upon tlio police authorities, who
i will doubtless make some -pusmodic elloris to eulorco
| ilia luw. All the deulors and restaurant keepers who
I can do i o are trying lo comply with the law, und those
who cannot comply are eitlior going out ol the business
or keeping on witbont license. Under the lutter
condition they will sooner or lutvr fluu the police uuer
t belli.

XXfli.UItia.NT8 WITH SULK.
A Hlkai.1i reporter ycslerduy called on a large Qrtn
of milk dealers in mo juppe'r part of the city lu order
to see sumo experiments in.idu with tho luctomuier;
this is a tester ol iuIIk, a small glass lustruiitunt shout
nine inches in leugili, closed at both ends, a hollow
ball at llio base titled Willi line shot, a tube in the contra
running up to a stem, lu the latter ol which nrr
degrees recorded as iu the ineruiotuetor. Whan milk
is puro uud nnudulteratcd the luctuiuoter will sink
until tho stoiu records 100; if it is wulerud It will sink
to TO, OJ, 50 or lower uccurding to tho mnouut ol wulei
diluting tho milk. This was demonstrated clearly.
"Dui," tho repurier said, ''is tnoro uo way by which
dishonest milk dealers cun overcome this detective f"
'Many," was tlio reply; "lor instance, you can
make brine enough to lloai a potato, and, thcrcloro,
ball is largely used by tho adulterators. 1 will show
you this experiment with tho lactoniaicr."
A large, deep glass was brought und half ot tho puro
tntlk was put iutu It, then hull water. The lactometer
showed lilty, declaring the presence ol (ha
choapor lluld, hut when salt was put in the instrument
rose until 100, or pure milk was recorded. Upon lestlug
the liquid the suit taste was not disagreeably percept
i hie.
"Yon coiisnlor. thou, that water Is tho adulteration
commonly usidr" ;|
"Yes, out Micro are various coloring matters dishonest
dealers use; lor luslauco, uuuello, tbut is a substance
employed lor giviug cheese and butter a rich
yellow uppcuruuee, uud to milk it gives a croamy color,
but it is decidedly unhealthy. Of late, loo, there bos
been a cnod deal ol burned sugar used lor the same
purpose."
Weal, in your opinion, is tbc direct evil oI soiling
poor milky"
"Even li it is uut poisoned by chemicals, tuo Tact of
giving poor children and invalids water instead of nutritious
milk is au evil that cannot bo overestimated."
An ollker of the Hoard ol Health stated to toe reporter
lout they intended to drive swill milk doalcri
out of New York II possible, and to tills end the vigilance
ot their sanitury inspectors would not bo relaxed.

distance sick at tho stomach. Uut ae
it inn was not ouough, a scavenger boat Is In
the habit ot being lowed there, aud It is the opinion
ol many residents tint: the contents arc dumped in the
wilier ut night. At seven o'ciock last Sunday mornlug
two large dung wagons drawn by two borsus cacti,
and having two men on both, were seen coming Irom
the dumping ground. Two boats wero lying hoside
tho pile at tile sumo time. It is said that Messrs.
Ehrel and Kuppcrt, whose breweries are not far distant,
complained ol the nuisunoe some time ago. but
It lulled to do any good. Hesldouts as lar back as

they did not know. If this nuisance be allowed to
