"THE MOONSTONE."•
We can enjoy the examination of this book
more, and do it a better kind of justice, if we
clear our souls of the confession, at the out
set, that the "Moonstone" is an inferior dis
play of Mr Collins's style, andthat
lins's style, when at its best, 'is an inferior
style. , This conviction once expressed, we
are free to admit that we have now, and have
had since Brockden Brown, but one author
able to excite intense interest by pure plot
work,and that this writer is the author of the
"Moonstone;" also that his present composi
tion, tvhether inferior to its predecessors or
no, is ingenious, finished and artistic to a
degree that no prentice hand in the art of
mystification could have made it. •
The story begins in the eighteenth century,
when Aurungzebe removes the Moonstone,
a yellow diamond, from the forehead of the
god of the moon; the gem arrives in England
after the sack of Selingapatam, meets in that
c ountry the adventures which form the bulk
of the romance, and is finally restored to the
idol, in his shrine in the sacred city of Som
nainh. It is' bequeathed by the English
officer who had seized on it, is Tippoo's
dagger, to his niece, our heroine : the stone,
to fulfil the exigencies of a plot meant
to baffle the most experienced navel
reader, is obliged to undergo, while in subjec
tion to the morbid ingenuity of' the Anglo-
Saxon mind, trialS to which the trials of the
dwarf in Malzel's chess-player were baga
telles. To the confounding of all its oriental
precedents of lethargy and quietism, it is
dragged through the machinery of what it is
only necessary to define as one of Mr. Col
lins's puzzles. It must be alternately watched
andlet slip; it must nick the finest conjunc
tures of time; it must be left, as a damning
legacy, to the heroine, from motives of re
venge—yet she finally marries, happy and
commonplace; it must arrive unchallenged at
the heroine's country residence,—yet the
watch-kept on it by its Indian proprietors is
of a perfection only to be found in fiction,
and keeps it in view supernaturally every
where,else but on this journey; them, to, con
struct the plot, the hero, who never somnambu
latad Inlore,, must turn sleep-walker, and

credibly) drops the cliatraind WO the hand of

The troubles of the. tory depend:on this situa
,
thin, where the heredne believes the liero a
thief; - the hero mistrusts a - melodramatic
chambermaid; a detective, who has been a
miracle of sagacity up to a point, turns idiot
and accuses the heroine herself of milliners'
hills and the pavvnbroker; the villain, en
dowed by that supremely lifelike accident
with sudden fortune, pasties himself off fur a
sailor with the most intelligent people (he
has been an Aminadab Sleek, and the intelli
gent people were his old acquaintance) , by
means of a black• beard; an improbably sharp

indian proprietors of. the diamond, who get

to unravel his troublesOme plot for . the :reader,
Mr. Collins is driven WI ti /device Whose arti
ficiality we do not thitik he has ,had to
descend to in any.Previcitis construction. The
hero, represented , as a capable young man,
lends himself to' a' 'scheme of self cleirvoyance
which in.' atare would' be,nothing but self
dam' ; hits himself drugged, in the house
where he ,had tinconseionsly Committed the
theft; has himself can-versed with, in such a
way as to induce the former dream; and does
finally'Steal, m a second visitat en of sleep
walking,. the paste dummy which representa
the jewel! However carefully this kind of
, e'keleten is filled up, no:amount of persuasive
paddhig can. possibly‘deaden: the creaking of
the machine. . • '
The style of Mr. Collins, when speaking m
his own . proper person, 113 a. grave, sharp,
idiomatic style, very,' well 'adapted to his own
effects, aritlictipab ' le, on he one side;of a labo
lions dignity, and on the other of a dry, tart
humor. There are plenty of pass,sges which
reveal.theie virtues, and the description of the
Shivering. Sand,in the "Moonstone," is almost
equal to the glorious delineation of the
Br6ads, in ••Armaidale." What a picture's
created by these isolated paragraphs !
"The sand-hills here run doWn to the sea, and
end in two spits of rock jutting oat opposite each
other, till you lose sight or them in the water.
One is called the North Sett, and one the South.
Between the,,two, shifting backward and forward
at certain seasons of the year, flee the most horri
ble quicksand on the shores of Yorkshire. At the
turn of the tide something goes on in the unknown
deeps below, which sets the whole face of the
quicksand quivering and trembling in a manner
most remarkable to see, and which has given to
it, among the people in our parts, the name of
Thu bhivering band. A great bank, half a mite
out, nigh the mouth of the bay, breaks the force
of the main ocean coming in from the offing.
Winter and summer, when the tide flows over the
quicksand, the sea seems to leave the waves be
hind it on the bank, and rolls its waters smoothly
with a heave, and covers the sand in silence. A
lonesome and a horrid retreat, I can tell you! No
boat ever ventures into this bay. No children
from our fiebing-village, called Cobb's Hole, ever
come here to play. The very birds of the air, as
it seems to me, give the Shivering Sand a wide
berth. *
"1 ookeil where_she.pointed.—The-tide-was-on
the turn, and the horrid sand began to shiver.
The broad_brown_race of it heaved slowly, and
'i.e' a In V'''• a er. to you
know what it looks like to me? says Rosanna,
catching me by the shoulder again: •'lt looks as
if it had hundreds of ;suffocating people under it
—all struggling to get to the surtsce, and all
sinking lower and lower in the dreadful deeps!
Throw a stone in, Mr. lietteredge! Throw a stone
in, and let's see the sand suck it down!' * ' *
"In this position my face was within a few feet
of the surface of the quicksand. The eight of it
so near me, still disturbed at intervals by Its
hideous shivering fit, shook my nerves for the
moment; * * * the bared wet surface * * *
glittering with a golden brightness, hid the
horror uf Its false brown face under a passing
smile."
But Mr. Collins has not the slightest turn
for drama, and where he feels it necessary to
diversity his book by chapters written in
character, his failures harm the interest of
the whole narrative. Collins, who has
powers of self-retention and of climax which
Dickens does not possess, had better leave to
Dickens such character-parts as the old
steward whose oracle is Robinson Crusoe,and
the religious spinster who conceals tracts in
people's-battling-robes; out of such concep
tions Dickens. would make rollicking, immor
tal caricaiiires; out of them Mr. Collins
makes pointless and feebly-ridiculous mons
ters. We say nothing of the alight offered to
many generous and selfssacrificing lives by
the sort of unpleasant satire he devotes to the
poi tray al of Dr usilla Clack; leaving that con
sideration _quite aside, we only say that his
hand is not tine enough to do the thing well,
and that he had better leave such future temp
tations as Miss Clack and Betteredge unde
veloped, in the matrix of his fancy.
The latest production of Wilkie Collins's
complex hrain, with all its infelicities, is
nothing like a failure. The interest is in
tense from the first page to the last. We
cannot choose but hang upon the master's
motions as he steadily and deliberately un
folds the broad and plaited web from the be
ginning to the end. it is like some tangled
jungle of Indian palms woven upon a skillful
loom, in which the complements of relieving
colas, and the resolution of capricious lines,
fascinate and charm the puzzled eye. If for
nothing else, we are hearty in our admira
tion for the Indian prologue ani epilogue of
the romance. That dusky Brahmin element,
woven like a thread of wire into the plot,
gives it a wonderful continuity, and sease of
time. By its means the novelist associates
his fable with immemorial dignities ,and su
perstitions that are musky with age. The
envoi is superb, with the diamond once more
at rest, and the shadowy figures of the Brah
mins, who had gone through knavery and
heroism with equal willingness in its service,
separating without a murmur to meet their
awful fate.
"In a whisper he explained to me the appari
tion of the three figures on the platform of rock.
"They were Brahmins (he said) who had for
feited their caste in the service of the god. The
god had commanded that their purification
should be the purification by pilgrimage. On
that night the thre,e men were, to part. In three
separate directions they were to set forth as pil
grims to the shrines of India. Nevermore wore
they to look on each other's faces. Nevermore
were they to rest from --their wanderings, from
the day which witnessed their separation to the
day which witnessed their death. -
" As those words were whispered to me the
plaintive music ceased. The three men-pros

which bid the shrine. They rose—they looked

As the result of wide reading, deep feeling,
and the commentator's art of digesting his read
ing without losing his sentiment, Dr. Albert
Barnes's Bible notes have been the chosen
company of Christian readers fora long way
back in the history of the American churoli.
ThoseM the New Testament, and on the
books of 3 Job, Isaiah and Daniel, have testi
fled to his rare union of simple-hearted piety
and scholastic research. The large class of
readers with whom they, are favorites will
extend a gratified welcome to the Rev. au
thor's "Notes, Critical, ..B.xplanatory and
Practical, on the Book of Psalnis," the first
volume of which is now published by Har
per 4k . Brotheis. ~ In a dignified and mov
ing preface, the: , venerable author, takes
leave of his life-task of' • forty years,
than:Miming hours of which long period have
never failed to see the faithful steward at his
desk, rendering count, in these industrious
volumes, of the delicate talent committed to
him. Barnes', commentaries, , ranging from
the pre-hieoric,. study of Joh—through
Daniel, who g.e.W, plain as a landseape before
him a world's' future We cannot seez-to the
New Testament and'now, back to the
higheit oriiinte.l'achieveMent in :impassioned
imetr3r-4indicate a deo, a falthfully;indus
trious, and a lopiniexatnination of the great
Book of.BOolni. He is always thoughtful,
observant, pious, reverent, ' and wakeful :
he loves the wonderful Jewislf ccillection' of
rhapsody and chronicle, •and his • investiga
tions combine the courage of an explorer
with the zeal of a minister and the faith of a
child.
The fust tliird-part- of 4-jiarnees-z-com
•ments on the Psalms includes the forty-first
of those grand old lyrics, in whieh the suf
fering King has set to immortal music his
heavenly trust, mingled with invectives
against some insidious enemy. This psalm took
part, they say, among the day's services read
together by Marie Stuart and Daxnley, on the
last night previous to their eternal separation
by means of treachery and murder; the beau
tiful, false queen must have httd zinging in
her ears, when the news of the assassination
reached her, those accusing words "yea,
mine own familiar friend, in whom I
trusted, which did eat 'of my
bread, bath lifted up, his heel
against me;"—words which. have been the
constant brand of traitors since the Saviour
quoted them, on his last night, , against his
own false steward, who ate of the aop and
who had the bag. Dr. Barnes's notice of
this poem,_as-of the others,-lagravaand close,-
weighing every sentence, balancing all au
study in a little introductory outline which
sets the hymn picturesquely in its historical
surroundings and in the temporary mood of
the royal singer's mind. By the taste and
piety combined with which Dr. Barnes wears
his scholarship, he gets the ear of the whole
class of ordinary readers, Who would be re
pelled by a harsher doctor. The volume is
for sale by G. W. Pitcher.
We receive from the agent, Mr. J. K. Si
mon, 29 South Sixth street, the third and fi
nal volume of Putnam's Knickerbocker edi
tion of the Life of Columbus, by Washington
Irving. It is prefaced by a portrait of Ame
ricus Vespuccins, and contains notices of the
voyages of the great navigator's companions,
with an appendix filled with information
about the experimenters in discovery and their
historians. An index of the most elaborate
character rounds off the work, and completes
the general impression of watchful editorship.
The publishers, on their part, have brought
out a peculiarly neat volume for the book
table, printed- on toned paper with ample
margins, handsomely bound in imitation
Turkey, with Irving's shield and autograph
in gold, gilt top and bevelled edges. All
Americans who have "heart enough" to want
to know when and how they were discovered
should select the Putnam issue of that fine
old story.
J. B. Lippincott 4 Co. have added to their
Globe edition of Bulwer, that author's" Night
and Morning." The story was originally
published in 1841, just before his,wild specu
lative romance of Zanoni. The present edi
tion is plain, handy and cheap, while it is so
tastefully bound that it looks remarkably well
on the shelf.

SAXON SPUNK AND NEWS) ENTHUSIASM . .
Now and then there was a bad boy of this
stock in my -district. There was one such
called Wallace, a bright, restless mulatto 'of
seventeen or eighteen, who stole 'hens, over
' conts, Sc.,nd occasionally f ' ought. Tom
'l e arner, a 'low-down white m an, getting jo
cosely drunk ono day, thought its fine thing
to slap this youth in the, face with a meal
bag. Wallace collected a party`of his com
rades, chased Turner nearly half a mile,
dragged him from his wagon; stabbed him in
the shoulder- with a jack-knife, and was
hardly prevented from killing him. All the
parties in the scuffle, including the white
man, were arrested, fined, and sentenced to
various terms of imprisonment. Wallace
became a convert to the Baptist Church, and
vas let out of jail one Sunday to undergo
immersion.
"Well, have yon got the wickedness all
.out of you?" I heard an unbelieving citizen
say to him. "I reckon you ought to have
hot water.
"0 yes! all out this time," returned , Wal
lace; with confidence which I thought fore-
Shadowed a speeo fallin g frOrri glace.
' TUX muLATTo EARLY.
Another day I was kepi M a e ferment of un
certainty. for a couple of hears by :two :,boys.
of about twelve = -a black and a Mulatto—ona,
or other of *hem bad stolen Avalifttble Pocket
knife from a llttlAwhite toy. -The plundered ;
Youth, and "his fitber=s"hrm'a-sgmed In
stating that the black boy had borrowed - the
knife - "to leek it,it," and. had never returned
it.
"Yas, so I did borry it," Admitted the ac
cused, a shiny-fareit youngster, glib, loud
tongued, and.gesturing wildly in , his excite
ment. ",But I didn't steal-it. Yere's a good
knife of:My own," an' why should_ I steal
another knife ? I jes' borry'd it to see it, cos
it-bad „so-man yore ` yeller_
boy asked me to let him take it to cut a
water-million. So I handed it over to
him, and that's the last I see of it.
That's so, jes' as snah as you's bohn."
The mulatto, a handsome, dignified little
fellow, faced this accusation in the calmness
of innocence. A citizen whispered to me,
"The black boy is the thief," and I also felt
pretty sure of it. I had both the youngsters
searched, but without result. Then, find
ing that the property had disappeared near
the farmer's wagon, I told him to take the
accused back there to search tor it, and, if
they did not find it, to Wing them to me
again, to be sent to jaiL In ten minutes the
party returned without the knife. The
mulatto still wore his calm front of innocence,
while the negro was now quiet wild with ex
citement.
"I shall have to confine you both for
trial," I said, "If you don't give up the
knife."
"'Fore God, I dam° whar 'ds,"•exclaimed
the darkey. "I'd lose a hundred. knives 'fore
I'd go to jail. • 'll€ don't care 'boat jail, he's
"Oho :" said .1 turning to the mulatto.
h OVA 1141.3 n trk inn —boast cents
you are the thief. If -you don't find that
knife in , ten minutes, .I will have you severely
punished."
There was another search; the criminal was
still obdurate, but, his mother arrived on the
scene of action, and "got after him" with a
brootnstick; and the result was that he pointed
out the missing article amidst a pile of straw
where be had contrived to secrete IL Yet
so blameless had been his countenance during
the whole transaction, that probably not one
person in ten would have selected him as the
gailty partY.

tell you the nigger is a no-account eree
tor," went on the old planter. "All the men
are thieves, and all the women are prostitutes.
It's there natur to be that way, and they
never'll be no other way. They ain't worth
the land they cover. They ought to be improv
ed 01l the face of the earth."-
- Here the meek-looking New. Yorker sp)ke
for the first time in an hour.
"You are improving 'em off pretty fast,"
he said, meekly. "Got some of 'em' 'most
white already. -
So unfair is the human mind that nobody
but myself laughed at this retort. The plan
ter turned the conversation on crops, and the
audience looked out of the windows.
JULIM CITMDRORS- POMP OF SAXON PRIDE
"Multitudes of planters, never had a negro
whipped," said the elderly Carolina doctor.
"I have owned twenty or thirty, and I never
punisheß one. I'll tell you the whole story,
and I believe you'll allow that I did right.
It was a girl named Julia, who was brought
up in our house, a regular pet of the family.
Finally She went wrong somehow, and had a
mulatto child; they would do that, you know,
no matter what pains you took with them.
After that, I noticed that Julia didn't have no
more children; wouldn't havo nothing to say
to her own color; wouldn't take a husband.
I
At last, thought I ought to talk to
her, and says I 'Julia, what does this
mean ?' Says she, 'Doctor; I've - had one
•white man's child, and I'm never going to
have no black man's child.' bays I, 'Julia,
that's wrong, and ybu ought' to know it.'
tAays she, 'Well, Doctor, wrong or not, I feel
that way, and I'm bound to stick to it.' Now,
I knew she was wrong, you see, and I
couldn't-let the-thing go on so. Lfelt in duty
houtid,to'get `such ideas out of her head. I
whipped her. I took her out, and I give
her one right good switching with's hickory.
I thought I ought to do it, and I did it."
Whether the hickory reformed Julia of her
wicked and unfruitful pride, so deleterious to
the growth of the Doctor's planting popula
tion, I was too fastidious to inquire.
411ANOE mTnit NEGRO VIEW OF PROPERTY.
Stealing, althotigh as yet more common
among them than even among the low-down
whites, is far less knpwn than when they
held, not ,without' reason, that it was no
harm "to put niassiis chicken into massa's
ingger."
TUE FREEIWAN AS •A FARMER ON SUARES.
As farm laborers the, freedmen fail to real
ize the fact that it is nedful- to work entirely
through spring, summer and fall, in order to
obtain a crop, They do admirably, iti the_
planting season, and are apt to sow too much
groundi, then comes.a reaction, and they, will
indulge in a succession of day hnntiogs and
night frolics, and the consequence is a larger
crop of weeds than of corn. - If the planters
were forehanded enough Lto'pay; their-people
day wages, and discharge a man as soon as
he turns lazy, things would go . better. But
the general custom, dictated by - habit-and by
lack of capital, is to allow the negro share
of the crop; and-he he thus becomes' a partner
in the year's business;he is disposed to believe
that he has a' righflo manage it:after-his own'
pleasure.
It was enough to Inakeime both laugh_ and
cry to go out to Colonel Irvine's fine pinta
tion, and look at the result of his - Lording for`
1867, on land which could _produce withent
manure, an average ot, thirty bushels-of corn
to the acre:- A. gang of negroeSi - cotuoting
thirteenfield hands, had taken a large part of
his farm; and, as, the produce of ona_Aeld_of
thirty-five acres, tlAyhad,..to show about
hundred bushels of , wretched "nubbins;" the
weeds meanwhile stinding four feet high
among the cornstalks, ' -
"They neglected it, during the hoeing
season," said the Colonel, " and they never :I
could tet.uv et - their Eryttad - 13fterwards. ---- 11 - il
was of no use to order or scold; they
.were
disobedient, sulky, and insolent. As for
frolicking, why, sir, from fifty to seventy' .
darkids pass my house every night, going
into the village, The next day they are, of
course, fit for nothing."
And now, after the land had been used for .
naught, these negroea did not want to repay
the advances of rations upon which they had
lived during,the summer• they were deter
mined to take their third of the crop from
the fields, and, leave the Colonel to sue or
whistle, as ho pleased, for what was due him
in the way of corn, bacon, molasses and to
bacco.
HIS SELF-CONTROL.
Like all uncultured peoples they have 'a :
keen relish for the sense of, freedom and
grandeur which., it gives to man, and _al
ready many: of them have'learned""to - destroy
a power of whisky." ' Of General Howard's
temperance pledgee they certainly thought
very small beer. I never got &signature;
nothing but snickers and "guffewlepres
sible anti-temperance laughter. If anything
is done it .this way it must be through the
medium of secret societies, with passwords,
ceremonies, processions, insignia—something
to strike the imagination. To the Good
Templara - and the/8511aa . of Temperance I re
commend' this missionary labor: It is needed,
or will be.
I .AB A ' POLITICO..V.'
As I have , already hinted, the negroes waste
Much of ; their `time- in amusement. What,
with trapping rabbits by day and treeing'
'possums by night, dances which last til
morning and prayertmeetings which are little
better than frolics, they contrive to be hap
pier than they have "anycall-to be,", consid
ering their chanceh of starving toAleath. _lt
is not •entirely without:foundation that the
planters and the reactionary journals com
plained that,the loyaljeagues were an injury
to both whites and blacks. As an, officer, I
wanted to - see reconstruction. furthered,
and as a Republican I desired that.
Lthagreat_partyfftkiefx-had-sayed--the r nion
should prosper; but, • believing that niy
first duty was to prevent famine in my dis
trict, I felt it necessary to discourage the zeal
of the freedmen' for political gatherings. X
found they were traveling ten and twenty
miles to league meetings, and, what with
amine and going, making a three day's job
of it, leaving the weeds to take care of the
corn. The village was ,an attraction; and,
moreover,there was the Bureau school-house
for a place of convocation; there, too, were
the great men and eloquent orators of the
party, and the secret insignia of the League.
I remonstrated strenuously against the abuse,
and reduced the number of meetings in the
school-house to one a week.
" Go horrie, and get up your own league,'
I exhorted a gang who had come fifteen miles
from a neighboring district for initiation.
'Let your patriotism come to, a head in your
own neighborhood. Do you suppose the
government means to feed you, while you do
nothing but tramp about and hurrah?
"My belief is that, nearly, all my brother
officers pursued the, same policy, and that
- ibex - eta - little or no foun - atiori -- 11 -- )r -- th - e - cliArge
that the Bureau was prostituted to political
THE NEGRO ti PEACEABLE CILARACTER
"As chief of a sn&districa madea monthly
report headed 'Outrages of Whites, against
Freednien,' and another' headed' 'Outrages
of Freedmen against Whites.' The first
generally, and the second invariably, had a
tine in red ink drawn diagonally across it,
showing that Otero • were no.• outrages to re
port. After three small gangs of white
robbers, numbering altogether ten or twelve
pertoris, bad been broken up hy the civil and
military,anthorities, few acts of , serious vio
lence were committed by either race against
the other. The 'high-toned gentlemen,' a suf
ficiently fiery and pugnacious race, were
either,afraid of the garrisons, or scorned to
come to blows with their inferiors. The
'low-downers' and small farmers, equally
pugnacious, far less intelligent, and lilting
on cheek-by-jowl terms with the negroes,
were the persons who generally committed
what were called outrages. -They vrould
strike with whatever came handy; perhaps
they would run for their guns, cock them,
and swear to shoot; but there was no 'mur
der. There had -been---shootings, • nit there
had been concerted and formal whippings;
that was during the contusion which followed
the close of the war; that was mainly before
my time. Such things were still known in
other districts, but mine was ma exceptionally
quiet one.
"The negroes• themselves were not dis
posed to violence. They are a peaceable,
good-tempered set, and, unless when drunk,
are no more likely to pick a fight than so
many Chinamen. Whether it is a virtue to
be pacific I cannot say. Anglo-Saxons are
the most belligerent race, whether as indi
viduals or as peoples, that the world now
contains; and yet they have been of far
greater service in advancing the interests of
humanity than negroes or Chinamen; at least
they will tell you so, and whip you into, ad
mitting it. But if peaceableness is a • virtue,
and has any promise of good in it, the negro
is so far admirable, and gives hopes."

• Might pierce the regal tenement.
.When the sun dawned, oh gay and glad,
We set the sail and piled tic oar ;
But when the ni,ght-wind blow like b- •
For joy of one Osy's vo;) age mere, •
We sang together on the wide ses,
1. - lkt men At yeac.e - bira - p - creck latahree ;
,Each sail was loosed to the wield so tree,
Each helm made sure by the twilight star,
'And in a sleep as calm as death,
We, the voyagers from afar,
• Lay stretched along, each weary crew
In a circle round its wondrous tent
'Whence gleamed soft light and curled rich scent,
• And with light and perfume, mask too ;
;Bco the stars wheeled round,and the darkness past,
:And at morn we started beside the mast,
And still each ship was sailing fast."

Beer in its perfect condition 2 —beer mule
from pure malt and hops alone—is generally
looked upon as an 'excellent and healthy
I beverage, but how seldom do we get this in
;London? We ourselves readily admit that a
'moderate use of pure beer is as harmless as
!tea and coffee, but if this pure beer inevitably
contains one substance which is an active
poison-=-namely, the alcohol of spirit—how
'much greater will be the injurious effect of
;an immoderate quantity of sophisticated or
poisoned beer? About 500 persons die an
nually of delirium tremens in England
alone, while a much larger number are at
tacked by the disease. Our most distinguish
ed medical writers agree that about one-third
of the insanity in Great Britain may, with
'certainty, be ascribed to drinking, and we all
know that the children of drunkards are very'
frequently,Adlotic. Quite recently, out of 300
idiots at Massachusetts, 145, or nearly 'hill;
were fimnd to be the children of Imbitual
drunkards. All terrible effects are of
course heightened considerably by the habit
ual Use of poisoned , beverages. In. theery
every kind of beer can be produced by use of
malt and hops alone; no other ingredients are
required when,the process of , brewing is con
ducted by honest ' and clever' men: ' Bat , in
reality what an endless list of injurious Com- ,
pounds have we not detected in the 'widens
beers, porters and ales recently' Submitted to
our investigations! Cream-of tartar, alum,
green vitriol,small quantities Of.C6pper,sOnte
times lead, picric acid, cocenlus .
grains of paradise, coloring matters of
sivauaia
cheaper and more hurtful bitters, together
with the harmless, but still needless com
pounds, liquorice, molasses, coriander, cap
sieuni, carraway seeds, .ginger, salt, malted
boreebeans, &c. ,To this list. already far too
long, we might still add'the names of three
plants, Lednmpalustre. Diyrica gale,-Datura
stramonium, occasionally used to adulterate
beer both at home and abroad.—London
