cal Analysis, Lacours Chemical Manipuations

Purchasers are particularly requested to return
the TASKS and obtain their money if the oils does
not give perfect satisfaction.
LACOUR's OIL OF CoGNAC converts neutral spirit
to a superior imitation of Imported Brandies viz:
Otard, SaZerac. Marett Cognac. paultney. Seig-
nette, United Vineyard Proprietors, Castilion and
London Lock Brandies. The liquors will have
a full ruity flavor and beautiful sparkling color.
Common Roctilicd Whiskey will be changed by
the use Of the Oil Of Cognac to New York Brandy,
Pine Apple Brandy, Common CoGnoc Brandy, &c.
LAC0CR's on OF RYE changes Rectiied Whiskey
to Monongohela Rye Whiskey, Old Virginia Malt
Whskey, Bourbon Whisley, &c.
OIL OF CEnRAT changes common Rectifed Whis-
key to Old irish Malt Whskey.
on or PEACH changes common Whskey to

preparation-only pour the oil into the whiskey

fine natural aroma, full, rich oily taste; beau
tiful transparent color and a fine bead Lacour's
oils exert three distinct properties in converting
common whskey TO brandy. gin, &c. The first
property combines with and subsidies in the form
Of foculent particles the whole of the grain oil,
(Amylic Alcohol) The whiskey is thus depriv-
ed Of that peculiar irritating and burning taste,
and becomes q neutral spirit the second property
consists in an oily mucillanimous taste impaired
to the liquor which renders it mellow and impatrs
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 hasks each flask
contains sufficient oil for making three hundred
gallons of liquor. Full and comprehensive direc-
tions accompany the bottles. Price So per bottle.

drass streets.

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

John Phpnix in the Ladies' Car,

John Phoenix, the inimitable wit, thus
tells an incident connected with ride on the
New York Central Railroad He relates it
iu letter to the Knicksr5ocker Magazine,
and puts it on record to serve as a caution to
future innocent travellers He says:
Il had observed that at each change Of
cars, and they were frequent, when the gen.
eral scramble took place, one car was de-
Tended from the assault by salwart man
usually Of stalwart persuasion who, deaf to
menaces, unsofened by entreaty, and uncor-
rupted by bribes, maintained bis post for the
benefit of the 'leddes" "Leddies car, sir,
az you please; forrid car for gintlemen with
out eddes" Need say that this car so re-
served was BY far the most comfortable Of
the train, and that with that stern resolve
which ever distinguishes me in the discharge
of my duty towards myself, determined to
get into it, coate qui coute So when we
changed cars at Utica, | rushed forth, and
seeing nice young person, with pretty face,
bonnet and shawl, and a large portmanteau,
urging her way through the crowd, stepped
up by her side, and with my native grace anL
gallantry, offered my arm and assistance.
They were gratefully accepted; and proud Of
my success, usuefeu my IsiI chaIge up 10
the platform of the ladies' car. My old enc
my was holding the door. "Ia that your
lady, sir?' said he With an inward apology
to Mrs. Phoenix for the great injustice done
to her charms by the admission, replied
"yes." Judge Of my horror when this low
employee of monopolizng and unaccom-
nodating Railroad company, addressing my
companion with the tone and manner of an
old acquaintance, said "WelI, Sal, guess
you've done well, but don't believe his fam
ily will think much Of the matchn'
