Origin of Buck Beer.
Bavaria has been noted for its su
perior beer from time immemorial.—
A strong rivalry existed between the
court brewery and monasteries as to
who should produce the best article.
Distinguished visitor's from, foreign
lands who shared the hospitalities of
the Court of Munich were, besides
the choice wines of the country,
also'regaled with a goblet of .Bava
rian beer, always accompanied with
the well-meant. warning to o'take
heed of its strength." =
It so happened that a certain
Knight of the Court of Brunswick
declared, upon-.a certain occasion, at
the Royal board of: Munieb, that the
MOAIME (a kind of porter) of .Bruns
wick was a much stronger beverage
than Bavaria or any' other country
could produce ; So. strong, in, fact,
that• the most inveterate drinker

seemed to call upon him defend
,the reputation of their favorite beer.
`The Butler comprehending the. mean
ing, remarked :
;"By your favor, Sir Knight, and
-with the permission of my Lord, the
Duke, I will take the,liberty to pro
pose to you a wager."
The Duke nodded assent, and the
Knight desired smiling that the But
.ler name his wager. "It may be,"
continued the. 'Butler, "that your
Brunswick mumme, is - a very deli
cious potion, yet you must bear in
mind that you have never tasted our
.heat beer. Should it please your
drace during the first day of May
nail, on your return from prance, to
pay us a visit, 1 will treat you to a
sample of Bavarian hear,' the like of

stand Upon one foot, and thread. the
finest•needle ' shall be' declared the
.winner, and be 'entitled to receive
from the other, a •large puncheon of
the b.est tokay wine as a forfeit"—
Amid happy jestings and pleasantry,
the wager was accepted and closed,
and as the Knight departed; the
Duke patting his Butler upon the
shoulder, gently remarked "be care
ful that the Knight does not unhorse
you." • ,

Covered - with green birch ,branches,

with a small flag, the one bearing
the Coat-of-Arms of Brunswick the
other that of Bavaria. The former
containing the celebrated "mumme,"
the latter the mysterious beer. The
Duke reserving to himself the .high
privilege of naming the latter. The
Butler now bad the monster silver
bowl and the three silver goblets
plaped upon the table, when a page
banded to the illustrious visitor a
potion of • mumth in order 'that bie
Highness might satisfy himself of its:
strength. , He found' it genuine, and
of the proper consistency. A cellar
man now emptied the mumme into

time, until it was fun to:the-
Two men then raised thabowl to-the
table. In the meanwhile_ another,
page had filled the goblets with the
beer, and placed them., before the
Knight, who could hardly conceal
suppressed smile as he gazed upon
the huge bowl before the Butler.: Ai:
a given signal six trumpeters sound
ed a lively blast, when the Butler'
seizing the bowl with both bands
slowly, raised it to his lips, closed his
eyes,.and suffered the liquid to glide,.
down his throat as gracefully as ,
though he were merely pouring it
into another vessel. As the Knight
was in the act eraptying his • laid
goblet, the Butler proved to the sat,
