THE sc DRUGGED LIQUOR AT CONCORD, N. H.
1t turns out that the &c drugged liquor" Of
which SO much was said during the late session
of the New Hampshire Legislature, as having
been administered to certain Democratic mem
bers during the Senatorial contest, was not
drugged in the ordinary way. In other words,
it was sweetened with Peruvian or Chincha
Islands sugar, commonly called guano A cor
respondent of the Manchester Democrat asserts
this to be the fact:
&c Il seems that in the back room of the hotel,
where liquor was kept, Mr.. Uri Lamprey, who
was at the same hotel, an agent of the New
York Guano Company, had with him several
choice samples of pulverized guano, which ne
kept in bowls, and on favorable occasions ex-
hibited them to his friends among the Members.
One evening, being hastily called out, he incau-
tiously set away his pulverized samples on the
same shelf with the sugar bowls. Shortly after,
some of the members, wishing to " strengthen
the inner man. went into the closet, which
was not yet lighted up, and having used the
decanters, took also very freely of the sweeten-
ing from the guano bowls. Several important
results folloWed-the chief of which was the
immediate falling off in the vote for Mr.. Wells
for United States Senator-the drugged mem
bers being unayoidably detained from their
seats"

.TAKE My HAT THE ST. Paul min
Pioneer relates the following incident of the
recent great battle between the Sioux and
Chippewas, an account of which we published
some days ago: .-1..
The Sioux during the fight it appears, were
entrenched behind ramparts, and from their
place Of safety fired upon their enemies, doing
great execution. One Sioux warrior, however,
disdained the protection afforded the rest by
the defenses, and stood upon the rampant in full
view, loading and discharging his rifle with as
much GOODNESS as though he were smoking the
calumet Of peace. Many were the attempts
made to pick him off, but at each unsuccessful
effort, his defiant war-cry rang over the plain.
Finally, Hole-in- the-day, the Chief of the at
taeking force, admitting the undaunted bravery
Of the warrior, approached as near him as
he could, and taking the chaplet of eagles fea-
theirs from his own great head, tossed it to him,
as much as to say, that for his heroism he de-
served to be Chief.
