IMPORTANT TO LIQUOR DEALERS

IMPORTANT TO LIQUOR DEALERS.
1t is not generally known that
the Act of Congress, approved Ju-
ly lst, 1866, makes it incumbent
on all holders of spirituous liquors
in quantities of fifty gallons and
over, to report the fact to the col
lector of the district in which the
same may be stored or owned, at
once. The neglect of this duty
on the part of such owners or hold
ers, subjects the party to a heavy
fine and two years Imprisonment.
On being notified, the collector re-
ports to the inspector, who proceeds
to guage and brand the vessel con-
tanning the liquors.

A Washington despatch announ-
ces that "the wife of a Senator who
has sued for divorce is said to be
the daughter of Chief Justice
Chase, wife of Senator Sprague,
of collar notoriety." The habi-
tues Of Washington have for many
months been familiar with the
scandals that have grown out of
this marriage and its subsequent
developments. If only one-half
that is said is true, one party
ought to be sent to the inebriate
asylum and the other to a bagnio
in New York or home for the
Magdalens. "

A forthcoming exhibition. of
wet nurses is announced in the
Paris papers. The points to be
considered will be the amount and
quality of the milk, the age and
temperament of the nurses, the
kinds of food used by them, &C.
Experiments will be made to dem
onstrate to what degree malt liq-
uors, partaken of by the nurse,
impregnate the milk; also, wheth.
er a passionate or fretful temper OF
the nurse is conveyed to the child.
The exhibition promises to be a

DEATH OF JOHN VAN buren,. :.

DEATH OF JOHN VAN buren,
John Van Buren, who died on the
Steamer Scotia two days out from
New York, on the l4th inst, was
well known as the son of Ex-Presi-
dent Martin Van Buren,, and as an
able lawyer and shrewd politician.
In the latter capacity he evinced
all the tact and heXibiIity which
characterized his father. He
shared with him the fortunes of
the Free Soil movement of lS48,
and afterwards returned to the
Democratic party with equal con-
tempt for consistency. Socially
he was "A good humored and gentle
manly man. When in England,
thirty years ago, he received ma
ny hattering attentions from the
then young Queen Victoria, and
danced with her at a state ball.
He was not far from fifty at the
time of his death.

French bayonets which have, for a
long time, been his sole support in

the finances of the empire are in
most deplorable condition, which it
now appears, are not likely to be
improved any by the mission of
the Empress to France, underta-
ken, as it was, to raise funds for
the benefit of her liege lord
These facts in connection with the
other that nearly the whole Mex
lean population are opposed to the
farther continuance of Max. on his
rickety throne, render that mon
arch's further security on Ameri-

thread. Recent military news
from Mexico is pregnant with fore
bodings for the cause Of the En-
Iperor, while the letters of CORES.

The Freedmen.

The following letter has been
received in Nashville, by Fl. H,
Harrison, U. S. Attorney for the
Middle District of Tennessee:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
WASHINGTON. Oct. IL.
To the Attorney of the United
States for the Middle District
of Tennessee:
SIR: This Department has re-
ceived information that measures
are in progress for the purpose of
inducing freedmen to move to for
eign countries, and especially to Pc
ru, by promises of high wages and
other inducements.
AS there is reason to believe that
these promises will not be per-
formed, and that the condition of
the freedmen would not in most
instances be improved by the
change, it is deemed to be the duty
of the Government to prevent
them by all legal and moral means
from being thus imposed upon.
This circular is addressed to you
for that purpose, with the assent
of the Attorney General. You
will do anything which you prop
erly can toward causing it to be
carried into effect.
am, Sir, your obd't serv't,
