Poison in Liquors.

DR.. Cox of Ohio, whose labors in exposing
the iniquity of drugging liquors are we'll
known to the public, delivered a lecture in
New York, on Wednesday evening on TIE
same subject. After stating the results of
Investigations in Ohio, DR.. Cox stated that
he had lately examined twenty samples of
brandy in Philadelphia, and he did not find
one pure. While reading his lecture on
brandy in that city, dealer came up with a
bottle and offered him $500 to show that
there was anything but brandy in that BRAN
dy. He anaiyzcd it and found nothing but
whisky, rot gut corn whisky, fusil oil, nitric
ether and pepper. But he did not get the
$500.
During his lecture, the Doctor analyzed
brandy, port and sherry, the bottles which
contained them bearing the labels on one of
the most celebrated importers of liquors in
New York. Into the brandy, Etmus paper
was dipped, it Immediately became red, indi-
eating acid. He also produced beautiful
blue, precipitate of prussiate of iron, indica-
ting prussic acid. He then tested for fusil
oil, without result.
In the port, the litmus paper was instantly
turned to red A test was made for alcohol
but there was none. In pure port there is
from l9 to 20 per cent. of alcohol. test Of
pale Harmony Sherry disclosed the pres.
ence of acid, and test with chloride Of bari.
um showed considerable quantity Of sui
phuric acid. DR.. Cox said that liquor deal
ers admitted these aduterations to him, ano
DR.. Dodge, who presided over the meeting
said that dealers had confessed the same tc

Pugilism.

1t must be admitted that great interes. is
getting up IN a personal combat which is
soon to take place between an English bully
and one Of the same kidney of our own pro-
duction. The prints in the shop-windows
show it: the anxious inquiries as to what
steamer will bring the news Of the result,the
demcnstra,ive talk of the boys on the street,
the more guarded speculations Of even mod
el members of society, and the varied COM
ments and correspondence of the newspaper
press, all betoken the presence Of the new
excitement. Most gladly would We ignore
the whole subject in our columns. 1t is one
of the breed:ng-sores Of society, and cut
ting disgrace TO our Christian civilization
For downright barbarity, the bull-fghts of
Spain dc not begin to compare with the ring,
as i, is patronized by large proportion of
the ruling class in England. But the evi! is
only sparingly exhibited in the public en-
counter; i, spreads through the whole class
whose tastes run in that line. So far from
developing manly love Of fairness and
courage, as the admirers of the "art of self
defense allege, it is certain, in this country,
at least, that 10 rowdies are SO mean and un-
manly in their department towards one an
other, and so disgraceful in their general
habits, as the bulk of the whole tribe Of
fighting men, We cannot but believe ,hs,
system which eliminates in such represen-
ta,iyes, will ere long be inevitably .loughed
off by the natural progress of Christian civil
lization
But We see specious pleas constantly put
in in behalf Of its continuance, in the shape
OF commendations Of the training which pu-
gilsm necessitates Now it is enough to
say that no kind Of training, ph. .sical or
mental, IS to be valued by itself, or to be
considered separate from the average duties
and needs Of human life. Judged by these
considerations, pugilistic training assumes .
very low value. The pugilist generally be-
