I ass yoo are interested in these figures, as every bosiness man should be, and I will develop them a little further. The statistics enpplied by Mr. HwiUer show us tha surprising (act that tha people of the United States drank, per capita, in 1887, lea than 12 gallons of beer, while .the people of Germany drank over 24 gal lons, or mere than two gallons to oar oca" “By poorness.

Aa reported from Itoe com mittee the pres this rend: “We. the people of the Stats of Washington, to pre serve ear liberties, do ordain ibis consti tution.'’ Mr. UnJesy, Mr. Turner and •them offered amendments, the substance of all being tbs inasetkm of tbs sentence, "Grateful to Almighty God.” The most sf tbs day was spent in debating this question, and upon being pot to a vote, the amendment foiled to carry by a vote gf thirty-three to thirty-three. The pre amble was then ro-rrfsned to the com mittee. In view «f the fact that the con vent len Is equally divided on the subject, aempromise thus: "We, the people of the Stale of Woehingtoo. one-ball of whose representative* are grateful to Al mighty God. and the other half ungrate ful to Him, do ordain this constitution, ole.” This ought to anilely both sides. lb ft* Capital Spokane Falls Review. The people of ' Kastern and Central Washington have < boon patient and long suffering with ref ’ wencs to the location of the territorial capital la Its present oat-of-the-way place and yet H may perhaps be said that a majority of people of this section were willing to pot vp with this grear incon venience and unfairneas a few veers longer, nndsr the circnmstances. It was pretty generally agreed that the beet in teracts wool! be snfaeerved by leaving the capital el Olympia for a couple of years after the commencement of statehood, in order that a fond might be obtained from the dtapeaal of lands appropriated for the erection of state building and in -vder that doe preparation might be osade Uw ratiderfnry permanent location.

The proposition that hna bees made by that fractional part of the constitutional convention known as the i quid) it tee on state and stale institu tions to locate the capital permanently at Olympia, strikes the people of Eastern Washington as drawing it decidedly too strong, la fart, this is a proposition the people of this section would not submit to by a Jug full. The committee making this remarkable proposition is composed of west side men, end the chairmen is e itiaeo of Olympia. All of the people •■ant of the mountains and all fair-minded people mast of the mountains will favor placing the capital at a mors central point, where it may be reached with equal saw and expense from all parts of the state. While some may differ in their views as to the beet location all will igrse that the present location is decidedly unfair to this section and should the con stitutional convention attempt to perpetu ate this unfairness by making it a part of the constitution of the state the people 0( this side will be forced to interpose an emphatic oofaution. uim Alim.

New Orleans Acayvne; The war in ilsyti, where the alleged rightful ruler Legitime to being driven into his last iitch by the alleged revolutionary leader • lippolvte, has developed an tea lure in tbs drafting of women ;nto (he army of tbs farmer. Legitim# haa bean worsted on every field and driven back until hto domain to limited pretty nearh to hto capital city of Port so Prince. Aa hto army has dwindled away largely b> desertion to the other faction, ha found himself without troops to man hto forti fications. far hto city was loagagostrongh ratified by tha Spantoh and Fraoch, wb. held it at different periods. In this extremity Legitime has hit upon ihe plan of filling op his depleted rank> with womert. There being a surplus ol (he softer sex in the capital of the negn republic, it has been possible to enroll inite o number of these ebony amaxoos, who art not embodied in exclusive bat talions of their own sex, but are distri buted among the men. These women are dressed in masculine costume, amt said to look very ranch like negro youths of the male persuasion. The ilsytias negroes, where they han been amalgamated with the native Cariba, have become almost beardless particularly when the men are young and hence three Hytian a masons are saki to be distinguishable from tho males * hen all are standing in line together, chiefly by the fact that the farce of the women are more pleasing and Isa hard and brutal than those of the men. Kvery person who baa seen our own fair ama sons, on tlie stage or engaged in a broom drill will have noticed that ia the peculiar conformation of the as the superior swell at the haunches and the lesser breadth of shoulders combine to exert special effects upon the manual of arms. When the guns are brought to a ‘carry,” being rested again* the hip and upon the shoulder, they do not stand erect bat incline at an ansle toward the head oI the (air soldier. .Moreover, wher ihe troops are aligned in "portion of the soldier” it is more easy lor them to touch hips than elbows as required by the code, and should the time ever come when the armies of the white nations shook) be mode up of women, it is to be hoped, in the interest of grace and symmetry, that somebody will design special arms and a manual for their use suited to the confer (nation of the beautiful sea. When the masculine creature takes up the trade of a aoktier he goes in for show and gets himsnf up at gorgeously ss possible. 1. we are to have hereafter an army of ana ions, they shoo id be made up altogether lovely. Fortunolely, the ancient style oi excision of the breast will not be perpetu ated. That was done to (MUh tbe fair warrior to draw the how to it* utmost reach. How. the drawing of the beaus k> done In quite a different manner, so the ancient weapons of barbarism have all been discarded. But to return to the Hytiaae, those sable Moll Pitchers and maids of Sara gossa have not yst done any fighting; but if they sbookl bs driven to it they wiH probably display aa much bravery as women do in an emergency. It seems a brutal out rax* to drive tbs softer sex into battle, bat if we are to credit ancient tra ditions. it has been often done, and In view of the fact that the entire civiHasd world is accumulating a constantly in creasing deficiency of men and a cones ponding excess in the number of women, it is not out of the reach ol potsibilitit} that the myths of the Old World amasoas may be realised in fact as time advances, What has been will be again.
