Physician of this celebrateJ IustitutloD, has
discovered the most pertain, apecdy, pleasant and
effectual remedy in the world for nil

Stomach or Bowels these terrible Disorders
arising from the Solitary Habits of Youth those
secret and solitary practice more fatal to their
victims than the song of Syrens to the Mariners
of Ulysses, blighting their most brilliant hopes
of anticipation, rendering; marriage, &c, impos
sible. tOUXG MEN
especially, who have become the victims of Soli
tary Vice, that dreadful and destructive habit
which annually aweeps to an untimely grave
thousands of vounc men of the most exalted
talents and brilliant Intellect, who might other
wise have entranced listening Senates with the
thunders of eloquence or waked to ecstacy the
living lyre, may call with full confidence.
MARRIAGE.
Married Persons or Young Mm contemplating
marriage, aware of Physical Weakness, (Loss
of Procreative Power Impotence), Nervous Ex
citability, Palpitation, Organic Weakness, Ner
vous Debility, or auy other Disqualification,
speedily relieved.
He who places himself under the care of Dr. J.
may religiously confide in his honor as a gentle
man, and confidently rely uon his skill as a Pb
cician. ORGANIC WEAKNESS.
Impiitency, loss of Power, immediately Cured
and full Vle.f Restored.
This Distressing Affection which renders Lite
miserable and marriage impossible is the penalty
paid by the victims of improper indulgences.
Young persons are too apt to commit excesses
from not being aware of the dreadful consciences
that may ensue. Now, who that understands
the subject will pretend to deny that the ower
of procreation is lost sooner by those falling into
improper habits than by the prudent T Besides
lieing deprived the pleasures of healthy offspring,
the most serious and destructive symptoms to both
body and mind arise. The system becomes de
ranged, the Physical and Mental Functions
Weakened, Loss or rocreauve rower, nervous
Irritability, Dyspe a, Palpitation of the Heart,
Indigestion, Constitutional Debility, a Wasting
of tbe Frame, Cough, Consumption. Decay and
Death.
A CURE WARRANTED IN TWO DATS.
Persons ruined in health by unlearned preten
ders who keep them trilling: m uitli after month,
taking poisonous and injurious compounds,
shonld apply immediately.
DR. JOHNSTON,
Mcnilur of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lou
don. Graduated from one of the most eminent
Col'cges in the United States, and the greater
pnrt of whoe lfe has been spent ia tbe hospitals
of London, Pris, Philadelphia and elsewhere,
has effected some of the mot astonishing cures
that were ever known ; many troubled withring
lug in the head and ears when asleep, great
nervousness, being alarmed at sudden sounds,
bashfulness, with frequent blushing, attended
sometimes with derangement of miud, were cured
immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses all thoe who have iujurrd
themselves by improper indulgence and solitary
habits, which ruin both body and mind, unfitting
t hem for either business, study, society or mar
riage. These are some of the sad and melancholy
effects produced by early habits of youth, viz :
Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains in the
Back and Head, Dimness of Sight, Lots of Mus
cular Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsy,
Nervous Irritability, Derangement of Digestive
Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of C'on
enmption. Ac.
Mentaixt The fearful effects on the mind
are much to be dreaded Losa of Memory, Con
fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil
Forebodings, Aversion to Society, Self-Distrust,
Love of Solitude, Timidity, Ac, are some of the
evils produced.
Thousands of rsona of all ages can now
Jadire what is the cause of tuclr declining health,
losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous
and emaciated, having a singular appearance
about the eyes, cough and symptoms ot consump
tion. YOUNG MEN
Who have injured th mselves by a certain prac
tice luulged in when alone, a habit frequently
learned from evil companions, or at scheol, the
ellects of which are nightly felt, even when
asleep, and if not cured, renders marriage impos
sible, and destroys both mind and body, should
apply immediately.
What a pity that a young man, the hope of his
country, the darling f his parents, should be
snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of
life, by the consequence of deviating from the
path of nature and indulging in a certain secret
habit. Such persons mc? T before contemulatinu
MARRIAGE,
reflect that a sound mind and body are the tnos1
necessary requisites to promote connubial happi
ness, ludeed without these, the Journey through
life becomes a weary pilgrimage ; the prospect
hourly darkcus to tbe view ; the mind becomes
shadowed with despair and tilled with the melan
choly reflection, that the happiues- of another
becomes blithted witbourown.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and imprudent votary ol
pleasure finds that he has imbibed the seeds of
this painful disease, it too often haptens that an
ill-timed sense of shame, or dread of discover-,
deters him from applying to those wh, from
education and iwpectability, can alone befriend
him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms ol
this horrid disease make their appearance, such
as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, noctural
pains in the head and limbs, dimness or sight,
deafness, node on the shin bones and arms,
blotches on the bead, face and extremities, pro
gressing with frightful rapidity, till at last the
palate or the mouth or the bones of the nose fall
in, aud tbe victim of this awful disease becomes
a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
. period to his dreadful suffering, by sending
hlj. to "that Undiscovered Country from whenc
Bo traier returns."
It is a tiancholy fact that thousands DIE
- victims to this terrible disease, through falling
tJX'A ,,nd of Ignorant or unskillful PRE-
""S, who. by the use of that deadly Poi
son, Mercij, u f b. constitution, and
Incapable of curing, keep tBt -.,., utif r,.r
month after month taking their nTO.L. r l
lurious com rounds, and Instead of being rettc
to a renewal of Life Vigor and Happiness, tu des
pair leave him wtu. ruined Health t- .,.
his galling ai"rv"1Bl"'eni.
To ,nriN therefore. Dr. .foHwsTO pledges him
trytt-t preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, and
irrtin his extensive practice and observations in
the great Hospitals of Europe, and the first ir
this country, vis : England, France, Philadelphia
no eisewDere, is enaoiea to oner tne most cer
tain, speedy and effectual remedy In the world

AMERICAN
CHILD LOVE.
BT G. R. C.
Thro' the dreary length of years.
Thro' the hazy mint of tears,
Comes my sweet child-love ;
With her soft and tender eyes,
Beaming mild as April skies,
Or the gentle dove.
When in childhood's happy hours,
Laughing loud, we culled the flow'rs,
Roaming side by side ;
Roaming thro' the meadows sweet,
Ere our young hearts sadly beat,
Or with grief we tried.
And I hear her sweetly say
"Let us to the fields away,
While the sun is bright ;
While the birds do gaily sing,
Making this dull earth to ring,
With their glad delight.
"For the winter soon will come,
When we no longer may roam,
'Neath the greenwood trees ;
And the leaves will shortly fall,
From the weaving branches tall,
With the wiutry breeze.
"Saou will wave the branches bare,
fioou will snowflakea fill the air,
And the sous-birds die ;
So let us our pleasure take,
And the eleeping echoes wake,
'Nealh the summer sky."
But alas ! the winter came,
And fhe sol'tly heard her name,
Whiper"d on the blast ;
And a Voice said, "Come away.
You shall be iu heav'u to-day,"
And her life was passed.
With a little tretnbliug sigh,
Closed for owe the eoft blue eye,
Censed the Huti'ring breath ;
Aud on high to eudless day,
She was swiftly borne away.
In the arms of death.
But her memory has not died
Tho- our tears have been long dried,
For the loved one lost ;
For the little one ih.it passed,
Wheu upon the wintry blast,
Came the breath of frost.
e
And to-day she lives ou high,
Where no tender flow'rets die,
Where uo frost-blast stings ;
Dwelling with the happy throng,
That with loud and joyous songs,
Praise the King of Kings.
And tho' years have passed away,
Since that dreary wluter's day,
When our hearts were riven ;
Siill our durllng lingers near,
Aud sweet words we seem to hear,
Coming straight from heaven.
Thro' the dreary length of years,
Thro' the hazy mist of tears,
Still they seem to come ;
Bidding us our hearts prepare,
So that we ere long may share,
Her bright heaveuly home.
DELL A DO RAN.
It was at the close of a sultry day about
iif. tint of May, 1841. that a tingle hurse-
ai an niiirht nave oecn seen riding along tbe
urupike a few miles west of Chancellois-
He was apparently about forty or fifty
years of age, large powerful frame, boUi
opeu ti U'iU.uance. and possessed of a ilar
in, reclle89 eye. Hi attire being semi
military and semi citizen, it would be hard
to determiue to which of the opposing par-
ties he beloniied.
He wore the blue cap of the Yiiukees.tlu
grey biU8e of the ConlederuU-o, mid the
remainder of his apparel was thai of au or
dinary citizen.
His horse, a lare powerful hay, nwept
ulonr with an easy rapid pace.
15y making au ahiupt turn he left the
until) mud. and entering a bridle path was
8' Mm in a dense forest.
The auu had already gone down when
he emerged from the forest, aud riding up
to a large farm house asked lodging ir tin
night.
The farmer, who was a perfect 'southern
lire-eater,' ed him a luoim-ut suspieinu
ly, and then iu multifarious tones said :
Well, yes. I reekiu stranger as you
tniht stay ; though the country be so torn
up that one can't tell who to take in. Who
are vu. anyway r'
Simply a weary and benighted traveler,
who will leave with the morning's dawn.'
The traitorous looking farmer called to a
tiefjro who was near, and bade him put the
traveler's horse.in the barn. The stranger
accompanied him and had the horse put in
the stall nearext the door with the saddle
on.
I)ebnlish strange,' muttered the uegro.
'Must be afeared some one's comin' to
gobble 'urn up.'
As soon as the negro had a chaucc to
B(eak privately with his master, he inform
ed him of the manner he had left the horse
al the stable.
I'll watch him, Jake, and you remain
handy, for I suspect he is Mead's scout,
Gloreus. If he should be, I waut you to
go to the forest after Hawkers.'
The negroe'8 eyes sparkled greedily as he
replied :
'Golly, Massa, only find out and I'm off
to de woods iu no time.'
During this short conversation the sub
ject of it was in the sitting room, quietly
smoking a short black pipe, while he seem
ed buried in thought. He had unbuckled
his sabre, and leaned it against the wall,
but his pistols were elill in his belt nrouud
his waist.
His blue cap was placed on his knee, and
his iron gray hair fell about his shoulders
in profusion, while his keen, restless eyes
kept constantly in motion. As he sat there
he looked what be really was, a desperate
character.
His reverie was at length broken by the
entrance of a pretty, black-eyed girl, who
aunouueed supper.
'Very glad,' said the stranger, 'in tact I
am very hungrv, Miss. What may I call
you V
Delia.'
Delia ? A very pretty name. You are
the geutletiiau's daughter ?'
'No sir.'
'His niece, then ?'
'No sir.'
'A relative then, auy way ?'
I think no relation at all. I am simply
an orphan girl Delia Dorau-whotn Mr.
Biswink has taken to raise ; but supper
waits.'
The stranger started up at the sound of
the name, bent a keen glance 00 tbe lovely
girl, but said not a word.
1875.
The landlord, his foster daughter and the
stranger were the only occupants of the
supper table.
Mr. Biswick being somewhat talkative,
intimated that the fair girl was not his
child, but the daughter of a scamp who
had deserted her at her mother's death,
gone to Califernia, and he had kept her
merely out of gratitude.
The stranger seemed almobt to struggle
as the farmer still continued to degrade the
girl.
He raised his hands to brush a cold
sweat from his brow, and as he did so a
small slip of paper fell from his blouse pock
et to the door.
It was unnoticed by any save Mr. Bis
wick. When supper was over they all arose
from the table, and tbe planter passing
around adroitly slipped the note iu his
pocket.
Conducting the stranger to the sitting
room he left him, and going into a private
room, lit a candle, and glanced at tbe note.
It was brief as follows :
'Forward to the front, Glorcus.
Gex. Mead."
'Ho, ho ! I know him now,' chuckled
the farmer. "He is Glorcus, the famous
scout There's a reward for him and I'm
a fool if I don't get it.'
At a signal the uegro entered.
'It's as I expected Jake, he ia Mead's
scout. Go at once for Hawkers. The re
ward is ours.'
'I'll go, Massa, I'll go," said the negro,
and pulling on his cap, ran out in the
night air. Ouce out he muttered to him
self :
Golly, if it am Glorcus, debbil be to pay
wheu dey cotch urn. Djs chile be skeertd
den.'
Having dispatched the uegro fur the con
federates, the wicked, traitorous farmer re
turned to the room in which the object of
his betrajal sat. and entered into conversa
tion with him.
The eyes of Glorcus rolled suspiciously
about, but he otherwise evinced uo appre
hensiou of danger.
Complaining of ennui from the effect of
the days travel, he proposed to retire. This
was what Biswick desired, and he cheer
fully led the way to the bed chamber.
As soon as the confederate left the room,
the scout buckled on his saber, instead of
retiring to bed, aud remained at the win
dow in a listening attitude.
He had not long been in this position
when a tap at the door aroused him. With
revolver in haud he opened the door cau
tiously. Pale and trembling the girl,Delln Doran,
entered, making frantic gestures for him to
keep silence. Seizing the frightened mai
den by tbe hand, the brave old scout said :
'What is it, my dear, that frightens you?'
Seeming to gain strength from his kind
words, she replied :
'Oh ! sir, fly from here ; you are in dead
ly peril ! Each moment you remain in
creases your danger !'
The scout received this startling an
nouncement as coolly as if it had been an
order from his general, aud merely said :
'You will give me some information as
to tl.c nature of any danger if you wish me
to avert it.'
'Mr. Biswick thinks you are the great
scout Glorcus, and has sent for guerrillas
to arrest you.'
For Mosby ?'
'No. worse. Moseby has some human
ity and power ; but he has sent for the
wretch Steve Hnwk'TS.'
'Never fear.' said the scout.
'But you will 1:0, nevertheless ?'
I wiil uoi he taken ; but you must an
swer some questions first.'
'Ask them quick.'
Is your name really Delia Doran ;
'It is.'
'Do you reniemper anything of your
parents ?'
'Not a great deal. My raither died
when I was young, and lean just retuem
Ikt my father leaving me with Mr. Bis
wick and going to California.'
D- you love your foster father ?'
No sir, I cannot. He is very ciuel and
wears I shall marry Cpt. Hawkers.'
That is sufficient. I shall go now, but I
will return soon and tell you something.'
Arising he glided out of the room, and
Delia having accomplished her errand of
mercy, retired.
The famous scout managed to reach the
stable unperceived' and securing his horse
ltd him to the rear of the house and hitched
him to a tree. Then, holding a revolver
in each hand, crept over the wall and
walked up the garden bath.
Flashing lights and confused voices told
him that the conlederates had come. A
heavy tread of feet was heard coming down
the garden walk, and he distinguished tbe
voice of the negro saying :
Let 'um kill 'im ; but golly' don't cotch
me near ; I might get a stray bullet !'
In an instant the scout leveled a pistol
at the head ot the treacherous black, and
fired. Without a groan the negro fell
dead in the garden walk,
With yells of vengeance tho guerrillas
rushed towards the scout, who nimbly
leaped the gardeu fence, vaulted iuto the
saddle, and amidst flashing swords and
whizzing shots, dashed of into the forest.
'To horse: after him,' shouted Capt.
Hawkers. Five thousand to the man who
briugs bim down.'
Then their was mounting in hot haste,
and the confederates thundered on after
him.
The scout having reached on open spot
ab ut three miles from the farm-house,
paused on the oposite side in a thick growth
of underbruah. with a cocked pistol iueach
hand, the rein in his teeth, and thus wait
ed for his pursuers to come up.
In the course of half an hour the guer
illas, seven in number, rode iuto the open
spot and paused for consultation.
Various con feet ures were made as to the
rcout, and the rebel captain vowed he. would
give a good round sum to know just where
he was.
His speach was cut short by the crack of
a pistol, and Captain Hawkers fell from
his horse.
Two guerillasdrcw holsters and returned
the fire, but now pistol shot after pistol
shot from an unsene quarter, and three
confederates fell. Tbe remainder, terror
stricken, fled.
The scout rode out on the plain to exam
ine his fallen foe. Three were quite dead,
and the fourth was dying. Leaving the
field of carnage he made his way tack to
the farm bouse. Fastening bit borse near

the gate he entered it. As be was passing
across the hall be heard a voice, in a room
on the right, begging for mercy.
'Don't plead to me for mercy,' said the
harsh voice of Biswick. 'Yon told the
Union scout thrtt Hawkers was coming.
Now take that !'
A blow and a scream followed.
'Hold! thundered the scout bursting
iuto the room.
'What right have yon to command mo
to hold ?' cried the astounded rebel.
'The right of a father !'

'Yes, Jemes Biswick. I am Albert
Doran, who years ago trusted my infant
daughter with you while I went to Califor
nia to amass a fortune. I made it in an
obcure mine, and concealed it in a cache,
but was at that time captured by the sav
ages and kept a prisoner for years. I made
u,y escape, secured the bidden treasure,
and returned to the states just as the war
broke eut. I joined Mead's corps under
the assumed name of Glorcus. My exper
ience in Indian warfare has made me the
great scout I am. I am now here to claim
my child.'
with tlie b autilul Delia behind him on
his powerful horse, he rode into Mead's
camp the next morning at sunrise. It was
in the midst of the terrible battle of the
Wilderness' that Doran met and struck
Biswick dead with his vengeful sword.
This,' said he, 'is for your cruelty to my
child.'

OIK NEW YORK LETTER.
DIPHTHERIA BEECH EU-TILTON THE
PRICE OF FAME BUSINESS AMERICAN
MANUFACTURES CRUELTY TO CHILD
REN LIQUORS THE WEATHER..
New York, Ftb. 4, 1873.
DIPHTHERIA.
Diphtheria has become an epidemic in
New York and Brooklyn, and indeed in
many of the Hudson River towns, particu
larly in Albany. It is claimed that the
disease has increased frightfully by the
common practice of salting the streets in
snowy weather. It appeared in Albany
early in the spring of 1858, and in that half
of the city which is situated south of Slate
street almost decimated tbe children be
tween two and seven years. Over 2,000
cases of the disease occurred in the whole
city during the first ten months of its pre
valence, and 179 deaths are recorded from
it. Since that day it has appeared as a
local epidomic, and has raged with more
or leES virulence in all the principal towns
and cities in the country. It is fearfully
prevalent now in New York, and suburban
cities and villages, carrying off hundreds
per diem. The disease is so virulent iu its
nature that the physicians find It difficult
to treat it successfully.
BEECHER-TI LTON.
Well, Frank Moulton is off the stand
after weeks of examination and cross-examination.
He has suprised his friends
and his euemies. The most acute legal
talent of the city has been after him all
these weary days, traps have been set for
him without number, but from first lo l ist
he held squarely to the statements he origi
nally made, and has not deViated a hair's
breadth. He has explained in the most
frank and candid manner his entire con
nection with the matter, and has thrown
floods of strong light on all the dark places
He Ihis shown himself quite the equal of
tbe lawyers who had him in hand, and has
impressed everybody with the idea that he
was telling the truth and nothing less.
The trial will probably furnish authori
ties aud precedents for ali the divorce cases
to come in the century. Such ransacking
of judicial decisions on difficult points, and
so many of these points as occur, make this
a trial of special interest in a legal point
of view. Thus far two pretty important
side-lessons have been eloquently enforced
by the history of this case, namely, the
folly of tx-lieviug iu hearsay, and the use
lesstirss of lying. Much of the scandal
that has broken up households, when placed
under the searching ray of judicial exami
nation, melts away to impressions, to gos
sip, to emaginatiou that has made the
worst of things, and taken its own horrors
for fact. And this bold and deliberate
system of lying, which even good men held
justi liable to keep ocand-tl from breaking
out. proves but an added trouble, that
darkeus the case for both side.
The struggle now is whether Til ton shall
he allowed to testify in this case, and a
vigorous fight is being made over it. I tan
see no reason why he should not. If he
tells the truth, all well ; that is what the
people want. If be lies he cannot so hide
il but that the lynx-eyed lawyers for
Beecher will discover it. It strikes me
that Beecher is injuring himself by this
perpetual objt-ctiug and quibbling. If he
is innocent be ought to give every one who
knows anything aoout it a chance to tell
what they know. Keeping testimony out
ot court which everybody knows exists,
may acquit bim iu a court of law but it
will not before the peopie.
BUSINESS.
The first of February, merchants' faces
grow a shade lighter, for the Spring trade
opens, which, it is hoped, will revive busi
ness from the depression of the last two
years. It is very well understood that in
flated ptices are things of the past, and to
do business in future, a man must offer the
public something it wants, at the lowest
prices, for economy is growing fashionable,
and socially a grace is made of a necessity.
Merchants are marking goods down un
sparingly. A. T. Stewart A Co.. whoso
figures are the thermometer of prices, be
gan their spring campaign by offering the
standard twilled wool dress fabrics, which
sold last year at 81.00 a yard, for 30cents
a difference by which one can measure the
tumble in the value of most fabrics. In
cottou goods the reduction is equally grati
fying to consumers ; Lonsdale muslin
selling for 12 cents, and New York Mills,
the finest American brands, for 15 cents.
And yet croakers fear that the spirit of
Republican institutions is losing its force
in this country. In what other one. pray,
is a round-threaded, full-bleached, and
soft-finished, taking the needle freely, tort
of a "biled shirt," within reach of every
voter who goes lo the polls ?
AMERICAN SHOES AND SILKS.
Even those who go abroad and there
are not a few who make light of a winter
voyage across the ocean are beginning to
appreciate home manufacturers, as they
deserve. I was surprised to hear a fastid
ious lady, late from Europe, declare that
the shoes made in this country were better
than those she found either in London or
Paris. The shape of American boots was
more graceful than the English, which
were clumsy-looking, unnecessarily broad
and square, and short in the ankle, while
French shoes, of good make were little, if
any, cheaper than in New York.
Americau silks are steadily gaining a
national repute, like that of Irish poplin,
like it defying changes of time and fashion,
always in style and favor for its worth and
intrinsic beauty. It is tbe thing for ladies
going abroad to take dresses of American
silk with them, partly for the sake of home
associations, as the Scotswoman takes her
clan tartan, or the Irishwoman ber Lime
rick lace, but more because no other fabric
stands the voyage as well or is as good a
hotel toilet, always sufficiently rich and
subdued.
Nor are these the only manufactures
which we have reason to esteem. The late
meeting of tbe American china and pottery-makers
to take measures for protecting
and developing their industries brought to
light the fact that tbe finest clays and cbina

THE THICK OF BEINO ILLUSTRATED.
Would you like lo know the price of
fame at last quotations ? Young readers
who envy the fortunate musician or literary
man who is brought so far into notice that
the public demand to know bow be looks,
and where he dines, when be was born,
and what he has done since he was of age
to speak, listen. Whatever pious or useful
woik you do for the world, short of taking
a gun-boat fleet, or reaching Wachtel's
high C as a tenor, do not expect to find an
artist at your bedroom door, beseeching
your picture for the illustrated papers.
Such was once the case, but the pictorial
newspapers have changed all that. If you
choose to furnish your imperial photograph,
and ay 250 in addition, you may have
the pleasure of seeing your face in a fu!!
page portrait, with the privilege ff writing
your own history to be added thereto.
The managers of public singers and ac
tresses pay for the publication of their
pictures as a part of necessary advertising.
Il is a special vanity with manufacturers
to have pictures of their factories and por
traits printed side by side, though what
good a print of long blank looking build
ings, coupled with- that of a snub-nosed
man, with hair brushed into a perpendku
agony, as the genuine crystalline, salt
works aud proprietor, can do the business
is one of the inscrutable mysteries known
only to the advertising clerk, who pockets
50 for tbe operation. Such is life.
CRUETT TO CHILDREN.
A society has been inaugurated in New
York for the prevention of cruelty to chil
dren, under tlw patronage of many protti
nent and excellent persons. Il will protect
the child against a brutal father, and try
to save it from a life of sin and shame. It
will also shield tho ill-used wife, and look
into cases where the officers of the law have
cruelly maltreated a child. It is an excel
lent and humane idea, and deserves every
encouragement, for this ; urn ridden city
there more cruelty to women and children
than there is to animals. And the abused
wi'e or child is just as helpless a the abus
ed horse. The child cannot complain, and
the wife will not. for she knows that wheu
the law has withdrawn its protection the
brute who beats her will beat her again for
complaining. The so -it ty ought to have
ample powers and ample funds.
LIQUORS.
You who take the morning refresher, the
noonday sustainer, or the evening soother,
read, and observe what it is you drink.
Last Friday a trial came off in a city
court in which a liquor 'importer" was
defendant. On the trial the following facts
came out.
Bourbon or rye wiskey is manufactured
from high wines, commonly called fusel oil
whiskey, made to-day and drank three days
after. It also contains vinegar, syrup, oil
of bourbon, French coloring, bluestone,
and other poisonous chemicals. It costs
80 cents to 1 a gallon, and retails for 5
to $6 a gallon.
Cognac brandy is made from French or
Cologne spirits, burnt sugar, oil of cognac,
vingegar, bluestone, Jatuaica rum, honey,
syrup, port wine, French coloring, alum
aud aloes. It costs 2 a gallon, and retails
from 6 to 10 a gallon.
Irish or Scotch whiskey is made from
Canada high wines, or new distilled whis
key, on week -will. saKfwaeew fine mU,
essence of oil of Scotch or Irish whiskey,
fusel oil. syrup, bluestone. Su Croix mm,
some imported Irish or Scotch whiskey for
flavor. It costs 1.50, and retails for 6 a
gallon.
What sells for the best old Holland gin
is made from French spirits, water, oil of
juniper, syrup, white wine vinegar, blue
stone. New England rye, peach pits, with
some imported gin for flavor.
Old Tom gin is made from the same in
gredients, but double syrup is added to
make it sweeter. It costs. 1.25 a gallon,
and retails for 5. It is also bottled as a
medicine, and sold for tbe kidney disease.
Jamaica and St. Croix rum is made of
double-refined hiyh wiues. French coloring,
oil of rum, fusel oil, vinegar, bluestone,
burnt sugar, molasses svrup, with some im
ported Jamaica, Cuba, or St. Croix turn for
flavor, alum, aloes and prune juice.
Slock ale or porter is diluted with oil of
vitriol, strychnine and aqua fortis to make
it keep. New ale is diluted with oil of
Vitriol and damaged molasses. Lager beer
contain a little mall, plenty of water, some
iuferior bops, rosin, tar. salaralus. soda,
with four different chemicals to make it
keep after brewing.
Of course all liquors, ales, and beer, are
not so made but very much of it that is
sold fix the best is. It is a curious fact
that New York alone consumes more
champagne than the whole champagne
country makes, and the same may be said
of Port. Sherry. Mederia. and a dozen
other brand. Drinkers in the interior
smack your lips now over your "good"
liquors.
THE WEATHER
Is delightful. The sleighing is good, the
cold is not intense and the sun ia bright
and cheerful. Central Park is a pretty
sight now, with its thousands of fine
sleighs and their inmates robed iu furs. I
wish I was rich enough to afford 4 per
hour, for a turn-out just once.

The centennial of the battle of Lexington
is to be celebroled April 19, 1875. This is
the first "go off" of the revolutionary sou
venir business. From that date until Octo
ber 19, 1881 six years the United States
will be an uncomfortable home for such
Englishmen as still deplore the loss of the
'colonies" to King George. Forty-two
battles are on record and innumerable
skirmishers besides which will have their
due solemnization.
Not many weeks ago the marriage of a
Long Island cleryman aged 73 to a wealthy

gossips make merry over the announcement
that the aged lady died last week, after ft
brief honey-moon of two months, leaving
her entire fortune of half a million or so to
