At the fiftieth annual convention of the United States Brewers’
Association, the following absurdity was submitted as part of a report:
The whole vegetable world is in a conspiracy against the
prohibitionist. The bees become intoxicated with the
distillation of the honeysuckle; the wasps grow dizzy in the
drowsy clover-patch, and even the ants wobble in their walk
after they have feasted upon the overripe fruit fallen from
the tree, which has started a natural fermentation.--New York
_Evening Post_.
