DISCLOSURES OF A LIQUOR DEALER.

DISCLOSURES OF A LIQUOR DEALER
Mr.. Delavan, President of the N. Y State
Temperance Society, in his recent address
in the capitol in Albany, dwelt mainly on
the new prevalent adulteration of liquors
Within few weeks, he said, it has
come to my knowledge, that a person whose
conscience revolted at his employment in a
large liquor establishment, has left it for a
more innocent and creditable business
He stated that it now only took ten, some
say four gallons of pure whisky, to make
a barrel of the whisky of commerce. To
these are added rain water, camphene and
arsenic; the latter to restore the bead de-
stroyed by water.
He stated, also, that brandy made to
initiate the real French brandy, and of ma
terials of the most poisonous character,
was sold at 81 the gallon, costing only p
cents That all kinds of wine were imi-
tated so closely, that the best judges could
not discriminate; costing but trife, and
sold at prices to suit customers The
higher standing of the customer, and the
more particular as to his wines, the higher
the price to satisfy him as to quality

IMPORTANT to Miners, Travelers, DC

There is no malady of deeper Importance,
either in a medical or moral point of view to-
which the human family is more liable than
that arising from impure connections.
AS medical man, it is the duty of every
physician to look at disease as it affects health
and life, and his sole object should be to miti-
gate as far as lies in his power, the bodily suf-
fering. Human nature at best is but frail; all
are liable to misfortune.
OF all the ills that affect man, none are more
terrible than those of a private nature. Dread
ful as it is in the person who contracts it,
frightful as are its ravages upon his consttu-
ton, ending frequently in destruction and
loathsome grave, it becomes of still greater i'm
portance when it is transmitted to innocent off,
spring. Such being the case how necessary it
becomes that every one having the least reason
to fear that they have contracted the disease,
should attend to it at once, by consulting some
physician, whose responsibility and education
enables him to warrant safe, speedy and per-
manent cure. In accordance with this necessi-
ty. DIR. YOUNG feels called upon to state
that by long study and extensive practice, he
has become perfect master of all those diseases
which come under the denomination of venereal,
and having paid more attention to that branch
than any other physician in the United States,
he feels himself better qualified to treat them

TIE THINKING FREEMAN.-The no

HE THINKING FREEMAN.-The no
blest of all men is the thinking freeman,
whose intelligence exalts him above servile
department, whose patriotism is calm, firm,
and reasonable, and whose integrity impels
him to the alteration of truth and the
candid promulgation of honest and useful
principles. With hsuch man Independent
thought is the basis of his action, and in
the quiet consideration of that which calls
for public concern, he is rid of the dan
gerous enthusiasm which begets a more
dangerous fanaticism characteristic of the
malcontent and reckless incendiary, who
chooses an isolated idea from the unprin-
cipled aims of party and hurries to the
consummation of despicable ends The
thinking freeman is the man to uphold the
Republic, to administerits laws, to protect
the common interest, to guard the Consti-
tuition, to sustain and encourage honorable
progression and guide the nation through the
historic page attended by the brilliancy of
true and enviable renown. Frowning on
agitation, condemning the errors of the
government, advocating the claims of in
dustry and openly countenancing the good
that emanates from all parties, yet making
sacrifices for none, the thinking freeman
stands in the proudest attitude of manli-
ness; more grandeur surrounds him than
the supremacy of kings can command, and
the adornments of his character have
wrought beautifully in them the grandest
attributes of virtue.-Spirit Of the Age

THE BALTIMORE BoNAPARTEs.-The
New York Mirror states that Louis Ma

mentioned the visitof the King of Wur-
temburgh to Paris, last month, he having
been the brother of Prince Jerome's Sec

CAUTIoN.-We caution mlners, and
others visiting San Francisco, to beware
of assasins who infest the wharves of that
city. A regularly organized gang of Bar

selected from miners and strangers. The

on Vanransaeler In few minutes they
saw the scoundrel give Brown, the sailor, a
push which launched him into the water.
Vanransaeler fed; but was instantly arres-
ted by Mr.. Driscoll, while his companion,
Mr. May, picked up the drowning sailor.
The scoundrel had two watches on him.
one of which was Browns besides S125

-FOUR GREAT MEN.-It is remarkable
fact, that the career of four of the most
renowned characters that ever lived, closed
with some violent or mournful death.
Alexander, after having climbed the
dizzy heights of his ambition, and with his
temples bound with chaplets dipped in the
blood of countless nations, looked down
upon conquered world, and wept that
there was not another one for him to con-
quer set city on fire and died in scene
of dcbauch.
Hannibal, after having, to the astonish-
nent and CONSERVATION of Rome, passed
the Alps; after having put to flight the
armies of the mistress of the world, and
stripped three bushels of gold rings from
the fingers of her slaughtered knights, and
made her very foundations quake-fed
from his country, being hated by those
who once exultingly united his name to
that of our God, and called him Hanni-
bal-died at last by poison, administered
by his own hands, unlamented and un-
wept, in foreign land
Caesar, after having conquered eight
hundred cities, and dyed his clothes in the
blood of one million of his foes; after
having pursued to death the only rival he
had on earth; was miserably assassinated

AgThe Wide West :-"Black is
said to be color which absorbs heat, and
is therefore avoided in summer garments
If this be so, how is it that the skin of
the negro, designed as it certainly must
have been for his comfort in a tropical eli
mate, is black?" A black skin absorbs
the heat, conducts it beneath the skin,
where it is converted into perceptible
warmth and perspiration. A white skin
does not absorb the heat, which, therefore,
rests on the surface and scorches it. The
negro's skin never blisters from the rays of
the sun for this reason; the skin of the
Caucasian is always blistered by a tropical
sum- The same reason is doubtless appli-
cable to the eyes of the negro, which are
invariably dark.

These four men who, from the peculiar
of their portraits, seemed to stand
as the representatives of all those whom
the world called great-these four who,

some suppose, by poison mingled in his
