' But come come,' said Grotius, " let us not
forget in the ccstacios of joyful recognition, the
more essential mark of welcome. Judge you
have not, | presume. eaten this morning You
will therefore be patient little, and Tim will re-
plenish the viands." " Yes, yes, Judge" re-
sponded Tim, . you may bet your odd rib on
that but Grotius viands had no place on the
bill Of fare this morning therefore please
qualify that last remark, or else the Judge may
think the absence of such uxuries is caused thro'
my neglect" | have only noticed this matter in
order to set myself right on the main question,
as the member from Arkansas said when he spoke
at length on the bill fixing high price on coon
skins, and low price on whskey. " But Judge"
continued Tim, " when you leave out the viands,
as Grotius calls them, and come right down to a
plain cup of coffee, good fried bacon, corn dod-
ger, or gum elastic slap,jack, Pm right thar"
" Tim, my dear boy" said Judge Portable, you
have not, am glad to sec, lost any Of the hu-
NOR which so well becomes your generous soul.
But do not, pray, put yourself to any inconve-
nience for my sake, but allow me to enjoy the
meal without any reference to its quality" " All
right, Judge said Tim just sit by here's the
coffee here's the bacon, Judge-and Judge !!
here's slap jack that Baron Won Humboldt
might have readily skctched the diogram of his
Cosmos upon" "By gracious, Tim" said Judge
Portable raising himself with a sort of good ma
tured grunt, and pleasant, half way smile, that
had more than one kindness in view, "you have
in addition to your other great resources of mind
a knowledge of science, eh?" Well yes, Judge"

QUIT DRINKING POISONOUS LIQUORS.
PATENT IMPROVED PROCESS FOR MAKING
ALL KINDS OF LIQUORS AND VINEGAR INSTANTLY
BY THE USE OF
LACOURS ESSENTIAL OILS

TTHESE OILS are obtained by Distillaion at
i the Chemical Laboratory, Parish of Jefferson,
of Pierre Lacour, author of Lacours Chemical
Analysis Lacour's Chemical Manpulations, La
cour on the Manufacture of Liquors. &c.
Purchasers are particularly requested to return
the TASKS and obtuin their money, if the Oil does
not give perfect satisfaction.
LACOUR'S OIL OF COGNAC converts neu-
trail spirit to superior imitation of Imported
Brandies, viz Otard, SaZerac. Marett Cognac,
lPouhenoy, Seignette, United Vineyard Proprie-
tors. Castilion.and London Dock Brandies. These
liquors will have full, fuity flavor, and beau
tful, sparkling color. Common Rectilied Whis-
key will be changed hy the use OF the Oil of Cog
mao to New York Brandy, Pine Apple Brandy,
Common Coghac Brandy, &c.
LACOUR'S OIL OF RYE changes Rectified
Whiskey to Monongahela Rye Whskey, Old Vir-
ginia Malt Whislscy, Bourbon Whiskey, &c.
OIL OF CEDRAT changes common Rectilied
Whiskey to Old Irish Malt Whiskey, and supe-
rior article of Scotch Whiskey.
OIL OF GIN converts the poorest Whiskey to
Holland Gin, Seheidam Scbnapps, Rose Gin, En-
glish Gin, &c.
LACOURS CONCENTRATED ACID.will in
five hours after being mixed. ehilnge five gallons
Of good Vinegar aud twenty-five gallons OF water
to thirty gallons of the most acid Vinegar that
CAM DE found in ths market. -l5'ssi.i-ss0 of f.
cour's Concentrated Acid, Vinegar can be made
for one dollar and sixty cents per barrel.
FOR MAKING LIQUORS, Lacour's Oils re-
quire no preparation-only pour the oil into the
whiskey and shake well. The liquors thus made
will have a fine natural aroma, full, rich, oily
taste a beautiful transparent color and fine
head. Lac0urs oils exert three distinct proper
ties in converting common whiskey to brandy
gin, &. The first property combines with and
subsidies in the form Of locuent PARTICLES the
whole of the grain oil, (Amyic Alcohol) The
whiskey is thus deprived of that peculiar irrita-
ting and burning taste, and becomes a needful
spirit the second property consists in an oily
mucilagnous taste impaired to the liquor, which
renders it mellow, and imparts an appearance Of
great age the third property is exhibited in the
rich vinous nutty odor that is impaired 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 hun
dred gallons of liquor. Full and comprehensive
directions accompany the bottles Price 81 per
bottle.
For sale at the corner of st. Charles and Poy
dras streets
Ofe bottle Of these oils, five in number, will be
securely packed and shipped, with bill of adng
TO any part of the country, upon the receipt of
$40, to the address of
L. LACOUR, New Orleans.
Purchasers are requested, as a guarantee of
good 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
claiAed for them, they will cost nothing.

we heard the following little circumstance that
occurred just across the river, which amused us,
and may amusS others: s
A large numlEAof eagles daily gather on the
bars of the river and perch on trees near the
banks One day last week tall, raw-boned Mis-
souran observed Dutchman stealing slowly and
cautiously toward the perch oSan eagle, with his
gun poised in the crotch of his arm. Instantly
the Missourian stood before the Dutchman, and
asked
What are YOU going to do--kill that eagleT
CYaw,' said the Dutchman, he shteal mine

The MiSsourlan walked up to him 1ercely, and
wrenhaing the gun from his hands, pointed to the

he's GOT more right to apg this country than
