Since that eventful night, Mr.. Greeley has not
ventured to sleep in the room of his daughter, |
who still continues to be the nightly recipient of
handsome presents FROM to say the least, an un'
known source. The whole affair is wrapped in
the most profound mystery.
number of gentlemen in New York, most of
them wealthy, organized themselves into an asso-
citation, some time ago, for the purpose of pro-
tecting themselves from the frauds practiced by
grocers and wine merchants and the enterprise
has thus been attended with satisfactory results.
The association has secured the services Of two
distinguished chemists, who analyse articles pur-
chased from various large dealers, and the results
of these analysis are carefully recorded. The
articles found to be spurious are classified in
book by themselves, and those which are pro-
nounced genuine by the chemists are passed over
to committees of the association, selected with
reference to their capacity as epicures, to deter
mine whether or not they be Cf the grade and
quality claimed for them by the venders. and for
which they were bought. The results of the
labors of these committees are also recorded, and
the books of the association are accessible ut all
times to members, so as to enable them to satisfy
their palates with safety to their health, and at
fair prices. The records of this association reveal
the existence of a very low grade Of commercial
morality in New York, chiefly, however, among
traders of foreign birth and education but 1t is
only fair to add that many houses which deal
largely in adulterated and counterfeit articles do
so unconscously. Their buyers, not being epi-
cures, are themselves deceived in their purchases
1t is quite as desirable that your grocer should be
good Judge of the articles he sells as that he
should be an honest man. 1t is all the same to
the consumer whether his dinner be spoiled and
his health injured by an honest vulgarian or o
constitutional trickster. The merchant who stands
perhaps, the fairest on the books of this associa
ton has long been conceded by epicures to be
unsurpassed in New York as judge of nearly
every article that finds its way to the dinner table
of an American gentleman. | allude to Mr.
Henry Felter, of $50 Broadway, one of the heavies
wholesale grocers and importers of wine in thi
CITY, Mr.. Felter is not known to possess larger
share of morality than many other men engaged
in the same business; mis- success being mainly
due to a sensitive and cultivated palate, refined
organization and an experience Of twenty years
in dispensing the good things of this life, which
qualifications enable him to guard against impo
siton in making his own purchases, and thus t.
deal satisfactory with his customers. 1t is sal,
of Mr.. Felter that he can detect tie most skillfu
imitatsns of wines. brandes and segars that
have ever been brought into the market as in.
Simultaneous and certainly as Wall street broker
pounces on a counterfeit bill. 1t is not surpris
ing, then, that out of thirty different afti-
cles purchased from Mr. Felter, including thC
most esteemed brands of champagne and Other
wines, brandy, sauces, segars, spices and othe
articles sold by frst-class houses, no single onC
was found, upon being submitted to the most crit
ical tests, to be of quality inferior to that fo
which it was sold. When you next come TO New
York, drop in at his place, mention my name, ant
ask to taste a glass of SupevnAculum brandy o
the vintage of 1877. If you do, | am certain
you will be thankful for your existence. Yol
will be glad you were born.
