On Monday last we received a neat little basket
containing something fragrant which proved to be large

There is a compound, sort of beverage, on top of
which we dimly remember to have seen strawberries
floating their pleasant fragrance mixing sweety with

analgamaed into perfect boquet, by the favor OF
liquid said to have been imported from France, where it
is nut up by sundry eminent chemists among others by

compound bad pleasant gurging sound, prodaced by
small and transparent Jumps of ice causing delightful
GOODNESS, blandlfed by saccharne infusion. Drawn
into the mouth by moderate suction applied to straw,
one end of which should be firmly but gently held be-
tween the lips while the other inserted into the glass
vessel known tumber, in which the Ingredients are
usually mixed we have known people to swallow cen
siderable quantity without any very marked expressions
OF rcpugnance.
But this was long ago. Tie compound is said to have
been sinful compound and martial law has ben decar-
ed against it, and there has been blockade placed upon
it, and the places that used to know it, know no more
but not forever for the natural is strong and the
old Adam that rs0ud cat the apple still survives in bis
descendants, who, in times lopg away after this when
we shall have all passed from the stage-when bones

the personal and malignant crusade waged
against our honOred and gifted Senator, and
especially 'the ten reasons" both as it re-
CARDS matter and manner. A resort to such
means clearly indicates, if not the the hope
lessness of their cause, the desperation of the
