The Cost of Liquor.
The retail liquor bill of tho United
States is $750,000,000 the present year.
The English Bureau of Statislios de
clare* that every shilling spent for rum,
another shilling is r quired to pay for
the consequence*. Add, then, 8750,-
000 000 more to take care of the evil
re-ults, and we have the nortuous aggre
gate of $1,500,000,000, ne r'y enough
to liquidate the whole national debt.
According to the last census, the en
tire villus ot' tho furniture and apparel
of the nation, including jewels, was Iras
than SSOO 000 000. or $250,000 000
less than the liquor bill of a single year
There is uniething to show f r the
money spent for (nrnituro and apparel,
bat nothing for money . spent for rum,
except poorhnusos jails, penitentiaries,

£xitthe Drum.
Toe French army is about tn disemi
tinue the use of the drum, and ns tin
military customs of France are infection*
it is quite probable that other eivilif d
nations also may soou rid themselvHs ol
the noisest nuisance that the wor d has
cer endured. The drumbeat is a so. t
o r barbaric starting point of miisio, and
as, until long range weapons turned
fighting into a serious, matter of-inut
bu-in>.Bs, noise bad been au effective mu
nition of war, the drum hrs found i;s
way into all civlltted lauds Now, hoA
ever, its usefulness is almost gone, the
bug'o is more effective for al military
purposes, the cornstalk fiddle is more
musical, and, (evory sane man kuows.) a*
tor convenience, even tho hand organ is
not more cumbersome As a Irigliiener
of horses the sound of Ihe drum is as
effective as the noise of an elevated tail
ruad, while its effect, when tried sudden
ly upon huniauity, is as discomposing as
a thunder els p. The soldier who car
ries a drum is as useless for fighting
purposes as the'druui itself, whereas a
bugler or filer may use sword or uiusket
as well as any other man. As an occa
sional assistant to tbe drill muster of
recruits tbe drum may yet be endured
in aro>ies, but it is not of sufficient coo
sequence to reduce from ten Iv thirty
members of every regiment info non
combatants, while as a militia substitute
for music its disappearance will be hailed
by thousands aud thousaude whose ears
