nette, United Vineyard Proprietors, Castlion and

and shake well. The liquors thus made will have
fine natural aroma, full, rich, oily taste; beau
tiful transparent color and fine bead. Lacours
oils exert three distinct properties in converting
common whiskey to brandy, gin, &c The first
property combines with and subsidies in the form
of fioculent particles the whole of the grain oil
(Amyic Alcohol) The whiskey is thus depriv-
ed of that peculiar irritating and burning taste,
and becomes u neutral spirit the second property
consists in an oily mucllanimous taste impaired
to the liquor, which renders it mellow, and mpatrs
an appearance of great age; the third property is
exhibited in the rich vinous nutty odor that is i'm
parted to the liquor, which renders distinction
from the genuine brands impossible.
These oils are put up in quart TASKS; each flask
contains sufficient oil for making three hundred
gallons of liquor. Full and comprehensive direc.
tions accompany the bottles. Price So per bottle
For sale at the corner of St. Charles and Poy-
drass streets.

faith, to furnish us the name Of any house in New
Orleans and we will ship them package of the
oils. If they do not perform all that is claimed
for them, they will cost nothing.-ly.

REMARKABLE CASE OF CANINE SAeAc1rY.
The following is from the New Brunswich
On. J) Times and Union, July the PA
certain broker had a dog remarkable for its
intelligence. Every Saturday the dog re-
ceved from its master one dollar bill, which
is carried carefully to market, and which it
paid its meat bill for the week. One day,
through press Of business, the broker neglect
ed to give Beppo his customary allowance,
and through stree; and warehouse, mart and
exchange, the dog followed his master who
wondered at such unusual attendance. At
last snugly ensconced in his Office chair the
broker had time to recoect the cause ofhon-
est Beppo's pertinacity, and carefully taking a
bill from his pocket, he threw it to the dog
expecting to see him depart as usual. But to
his surprise and annoyance the dog, placing
his fore paw upon the note, gave four sharp
barks in rapid succession, and continued this
interesting performance until his master an
grily snatched up the note and found the
cause of the noise explained-the bill was dis
counted for four per- cent"

all public moneys; that we hold all public officers
strictly accountable for the administration of the
public funds; that we regard it as a cardinal prin-
ciple OF Democracy to preserve unimpaired the

The Indianapolis Journal is publishing
a series Of "reminiscences of life in early
Indiana in a recent number of which we
find the following account Of Coroner's in
quest:
"a man was found dead one cold morn
ing with his skull broken, lying in the
woods. He had been seen the night
before considerably intoxicated The body
was frozen. An inquest was held before
noon Of the same day before Coroner Cliff
ford The Jury formed a hollow square;
the body in the center. Coroner Clifford:
Gentlemen of the inquest, there are three
things to be considered when man commits
''suicide by killing his neighbor. FIRST, did
he "come to bis death by incidence Second,
did he "come to his death by accidence.
Third, did he "come to his death BY the
hands Of the incsndiary. Look at the body
gentlemen and return "your verdict" The

the Jury find that the deceased came to
his death by incidence having ''put too

On the morning of the meteoric showers
in 1888, Old Peyton Roberts, who intend
ed making an early start to his work, got
up in the midst Of the display. On going
to his door he saw, with ainazement, the
sky lighted up with the falling meteors,
and he concluded at once the world was on
fire, and that the day of judgment had
come
He stood for moment gazing in speech
less terror at the scene, and then, with a
yell of horror, sprang out of the door into
stars, and here, in his efforts to dodge them,
he commenced series of ground and lofty
tumbling that would have done honor to a
rope-dancer. His wife, being awakened in
the eantime, and seeing old Peyton Jump
ing and skipping about the yard, called out
to him to know what in the name o'sense
he was doin' out thar, dancin round without
his clothes. But Peyton heard not; the
judgment, and long back account he would
have to settle, made him needless of al ter
restial things, and his wife, by this time
becoming alarmed at his behavior, sprang
out of bed, and running to the door,
shrieked out at the top Of her lungs,
"Peyton, l say, Peyton; what do you
mean, jumpin' about out thar! Come in
and put on your trowsers."
Old Peyton, whose fears had near over
powered him, family answered, as he fell
sprawling on the earth,
"Trowsers, Peggy! what's the use otrow-
sers when the worlds afrel"
