DISCLOSURES OF A LIQUOR DEALER.

Mr.. Delevan, President Of the New York State
Temperance Society, in his recent address at the
Capitol in Albany, dwelt mainly on the now preva-
lent adulteration of liquors:
within q few weeks" be said, ait has come to
my knowledge, that a person whose conscience
revolted at HE SIN Employment, in a large liquor estab-
l~ishnent, left it for q more innocent and crcdita-
BILE business, lie stated that it now took only ten
some say four gallons of pure whiskey to make a
barrel of whiskey of commerce. To these, are
added rain water, camphene and arsenic; the lat
ter to restore the bead destroyed by the water
lie stated also that brandy made to initiate the real
French brandy, and of materials Of the most
poisonous character, was sold at 81 a gallon, cost
ing % cents. That all kinds of wine we're initial
cd Sd closely, that the best judges could not dis.
criminate, costing but a trihe, and sold at prices
to suit customers. The higher the standing Of
the customer, and the more particular rs to his
wines, the higher the price, to satisfy him as to
the quality. The most celebrated brandies were
made use of. and the names of the most celebrated
European dealers given, as the source of supply
and European dealers, be it known are not much
behind the American traders in their I'D ulterar
ton.
He quotes an advertisement. from a chemist in
New York, who is now prepared to furnish ia
vorings for every kind Of liquors. and she best
Cogniac brandy, &c, is produced by the same
method"

KILLING RATS.

This is at any time a disagreeable business. II
you are successful, the dead rats decay in their
hiding places, and diffuse a horrid and almost pes
tilential stencil and the presence Of active pois-
ons on the premises, is not without danger to 9TH
er animals, and TO children. But if due precau-
ton is used in these respects, or if you are willing
to run these risks, the spring is q good time to de-
stroy rats they are hungry now, for food is
scarce besides, in killing them now. you prevent
their increase for the year. Any one of the fol
lowing poisous may be used
Take of hogs lard and of carbonate baryta,
enough of each mix well together. Smear the
mixture on the inside of a pot or kettle, and
place it inverted, so high from the floor that the
rats can get under, but so that cats and dogs can
not get at it. The rats like the lard. The baryto
is without ordor, and is o powerful poison.
Another poison Take of orpiment or king't
yellow, one ounce, and of lard, four ounces. Mil
well and use as above, or spread it on bread.
Another still Get SOME good strychnia mix
little Of it with Indian meal, or rub a lit:le or
small bits of cheese, and place it where the rat,
can find it.
The use of one, or all Of these poisons for &
time, will thin out the Sc Ohio Farmer.

A PICTURE BY WILLIS.

In n late letter from Idlewild to the Home
journal, Mr.. Willis sketches, with his peculiar
skill, a scene which he had witnessed upon q re-
cent visit to the city:
II was standing upon q DOORSTEP waiting for the
answering of q bell, when, CHANGING to look over
my shoulder. | saw a beggar girl in the middle of
the street, her slipshod feet half buried in liquid
dirt and snow, and her bedraggled rags showing
that she had been all day on her pilgramage Of
unwelcomed want. Directly before, in the mud,
lay n magnificent boquet of c~amelias, and violets,
with another in her hand, which she bad just
picked up-as large almost as the dingy basket
on her arm-she stood motionless as q statute, lost
evidently, in the thoughts it had awakened. The
two costly and still beautiful bouquets had been
thrown into the street, apparently. as no longer
fresh enough for the service of wealth and beauty
herself CHANGING to be the first beggar to pass
by.
She might be seventeen or eighteen years of
age, her face pale, her features thin and express
i've, and her lips tight and bloodlessly compressed
with the habit of chilliness and repulse. And
with the Inconsistencies Of observation bred by O
life of neglect her dry eye-lids fell relaxed over
her eyes, and the corners of her mouth were
drawn d%ownwards with submissive selfforgetful
ness and suffering. If q daguerreotype could
have been taken of the poor girl, as she stood fol
that long minute or two, gazing mourntully and
motionlessly into that faded riddle of a life out OF
her reach, it would have been q I%icture unsurpass
ed in Art.
81 entered the house and called my admired
friend to the window, to see the thin hand that
had thus succeeded her own daintily-gloved CLASP
of the discarded howed-stems. The ragged cir.
mad just regained the sidewalk, and was walking
away, with dropped head and the prize held half
hidden in her dirty shawl. But, if those briefly
priced flowers could have s~poken-passing thus
from the hand of the most admired Of women to
the closer pressure and saIder measuring of an
%outcast and starving girl-what a story for angels
to hear t~earlully! 70

THE WAY THE PUBLIC ARE HUMBUeGED

For several years il has been almost impossi-
BILE to take a newspapers without having balm Of
q thousand Flowers" staring you in the face, set
forth in heavy capitals. 1t was represented to be
valuable for almost every imaginable i'll, and a
good shaving soup into the bargain. This extra
ordinary article is manufactured by w. p. Fet-
ridge & Co.. New York and Boston. The sue.
cess with which it has been received by an over
credulous public caused q Mr.. F. G. Wells of
New York, to get a preparation, which he iesig.
mated by the name of balm of Ten Thousand
Flowers" OF course, Messrs. Fetridge & Co.,
were not to be imposed upon in any such manner,
after, as they had declared, The original receip t
cost them $4,000. So they brought n suit
against Mr.. Willis to restrain him from using q
name SO much like that Of their own mixture.
The trial came off in New York a few weeks
since. The plaintiffs were obliged to read the re-
ceipt, and it appears that this wonderful mixture
was compounded of palm oil, potash, alchohol and
white sugar. Honey was formerly used instead

is retailed for fifty. The court dissolved the
temporary injunction against the defendant, but
did not allow him the costs, and held to the
opinion that neither party would claim relief il
a court of equity under a rule that has almos
become q common law of nations, that The who
asks the aid of a court of equity, must come int
it with clean hands" His Honor delivered

THE ANTI-SLAvERY BUGLE.
IRISH IMPROVEMENT.

The Dublin, ireland, correspondent OF the Anti
Slavery Standard, writes of the improved state of
affairs in that city as follows:
As proof of the improvement Of Dublin, he
said that in 1888 the number Of persons arrested
in this city for manslaughter or assaults with IN
tent to murder was sc; in 1856 they amounted to
but |. In 1888, all the arrests for oil sorts OF
offences were 10000; in 1855, $4,000. Within the
last year the decline in the number Of inmates in
The poor houses was considerable, and the poor
rates have fallen from 2s lid. to Is. Cd. in the
pound. In 1851 there were 1864 sentenced to
penal servitude or transportation for serious crimes
in all Ireland in 1859, 1858, in 1853, 1913; in
1854. 692; in 1855, 521; and in 1856, 375-a graft

licenses have been revoked. / think these particu-
lars are most interesting, as they give the best
possible proof of the country in the march OF moral
improvement, without which there is really no true
civilization. On all hands l hear no other account,
but that the progress of Ireland is onward in thu
best sense. From what | read Of the United State'

R0MANIsM AND PRoTEsTANTIsM.

The following is from Macaulay's History of
England =
"But during the last three centuries, to stunt
the growth Of the human mind has been the chief
Object OF Romanism. Throughout Christendom,
whatever advance has been made in knowledge,
in freedom, in wealth, and in the arts of life, has
been in inverse proportion to her power. The lovli-
est and most fertile provinces of Europe have I'M
der her rule, been sunk in poverty, in political SER
vitude, and in Intellectual torpor while Protest
ant countries, once proyerbial for sterility and
barbarianism, have been turned by skill and in.
dustry into gardens, and can boast OF a long hist
of heroes and statesmen, philosophers and poets.
Whoever, knowing what Italy and Scotland natu-
rally are, and what, tour hundred years ago, they
actually were, shall now compare the country
round Rome with the country round Edinburgh.
will be able to form some judgement as to the
tendency of Papal domination. The decent OF
Spain, once the first among nonarchies, to the low
est depth of degredatiOn-the elevation OF Hol-
land, in spite of many natural disadvantages, tn q
position such as no Commonwealth So small has
ever reached, teach the same lesson.
"Whoever passes in Germany from q Roman
Catholic to a Protestant Principality in SRitzer'
land, from a Roman Catholic to q Protestant
County, finds that he has passed from a lower &c
a higher grade of civilization. On the other side
of the Atlantis the same law prevails.
"The Protestants Of the United States have left
lar Denlnu the IOman OatnOlicS Vi NleAicu, re-
ru, and Brazil. The Roman Catholics of Lower
Canada remain inert, while the whole continent
around them is in a ferment with Protestant &C
tivity and enterprise. The French have doubtless
shown an energy and intelligence which, ever
when misdirected, have justly entitled them to b
callvd a great people. But this apparent excep
ton, when examined. will be found 10 confirm thu
rule for in no country that is called Roman Cath
Ollie Chuch, during several generations, possessed
so little authority as in France."-History @

BUYING HUsBANDs.-A modern traveller tells us
that the Jewesses in Thessalonica. European
Turkey reverse our accepted laws of Hymen, by
purchasing their husbands. The modus operandi
is thus described:
brokers are employed to negotiate marriages.
The father of a manageable girl goes to n broker
and inquiries what bridegrOoms there are in mar.
ket. He chooses one higher or lower in the social
scale, according to the dover he can afford his
daughter, the price he can pay, and makes an Offer
broker, demands more, they chatter and bargain
for weeks, perhaps, and a bargain is struck. The
parties never see each other till married. Tht
dover is the wife's only security against divorce
The husband can divorce her when he chooses
but he must pay back the dowor, that she may b,
able to buy another husband. Mrs. d. was tellin,
a Jewish girl that we do not require any dover,
in America. GLOW then" said she, in utter as
punishment, edo you do when he wants to divorc
youf"
