/ How FRENCH BRANDY is MADE. The
Internal Revenue detectives in New
York recently gave information OF
/ frauds upon the law, which caused the
seizure of about thirty distilleries. In
the course of investigations the facts
which are recounted below came out:
1.-THE officers, in the course of their
tour among the distilleries, discovered
many of the modes by which the law 10
evaded. In one instance, where de-
scent was made on house inThtrty-
ninth street, it was found that 'dlstil-
lery was located in a soap boiling
establishment. The steam arising from
the still was conveyed through the soap
| channel TO prevent suspicion. After the
detectives entered the premises they
discovered u trap-door leading to an
apartment below, where large still was
| In operation, which was capable OF
manufacturing sixty gallons at time.
"In a corner of the room large pot
filed with Composition which had
been used as rollers on printing press,
was boiling on the fire. The of1icer,,
anxious to know from what new SUI.
stance whiskey could be made, inquired
what was in the pot: The owner OF the
establishment told them it was glue and
molasses.
"'What can you do with them?'
ask ed the officers.
awe can make French Brandy out
of the molasses,' was the reply.
"How?' was asked.
".Well, we distil it. You see the glue
floats to the top, and the treacle to the
bottom; we skim off the glue and tho
molassess remains
"'Nvould it not be cheaper to buy the
molasses? asked the officer.
..It would replied the owner, If we
did not have to keep returns of the ar
ticle You know we keep none of the
rollers
.'.This ended the dialogues, which
showed that our citizens have long drank
French brandy manufactured out of
printers rollers"
THE UNITED STATES SUPREME
COURT. On Thursday the National
House of Representatives passed bill
reducing the number of Judges of the
Supreme Court from ten to nine. 1t has
been but three years ago since the num-
Der of Judges was raised from nine to
ten, new circuit being created for the
Pacific States. There being a vacancy
on the bench since the decease of Justice
Catron, the present reduction, If It goes
into effect, will not legislate any Judge
out of office; 1t however, necessitates an
extensive re-arrangement Of the circuits.
BY the new law the late Justice Catron's
circuit disappears entirely, being divi-
ded among the others. Louisiana and
! Texas are added to Justice Wayne's cir
cnit; West Virginia to Justice Swayne's;
Kentucky and Tennessee to Justice
Davis', and Arkansas to Justice Miiler's.
Some other adjustments are also made.
South Carolina is taken from Justice
f.tx IN. tnf Isra foa
Chase, and Wisconsin is taken from
Justice Davis and given to Justice Mill
er. Nevada, just admitted, Is added to
Justice Fields circuit.

HEAVENLY FIRBwoRKs.-All San Fran

courier has been seen in the dim distance.
We have the statement Of two gentlemen
of veracity, who tell us that oil Satur-
day night, while returning from this city
to their their homes at Oakland, on the
deck Of the boat, they saw a shootng-star
with q tail attached. which passed from
east to west. Now, sh~ooting-stars are
quite common in this vicinity, but this
particular one was, at the lowest estimate,
IN sight for ten seconds, and it had the
effect Of lighting up the landscape with
the power Of ten thousand Roman candles,
so to speak. This occurred about twelve
o'clock, and was noted as q grand and
imposing sights. F. AkD. 18th.

DyIIcAcY.-Above every other feature
that adorns the female character, deiicacy
stands foremost within the province OF
good taste. Not that d~elicacy which Is
perpe,ually in quest Of some thing OF
which to be ashamed, which makes a
merit OF a blush, and shippers at the false
construction its own ingenuity has put
upon an innocent remark; this spurious
kind Of a delicacy is as far removed from
good taste as from good feeling and good
sense. But that high-minded d~elicacy
which maintains its pure and undertaking
walk alike among women as IN the society
of men; which shrinks from the necessary
duty, and can speak when required with
seriousness and kindness, Of things at
which it would be ashamed to smile or
blush. This is the delicacy which forms
so important a part of good taste, that
where il does not exist as a natural In
stinc. it is taught as the first principle o
good manners, and considered as the n
yersal passport Of good society.

MsrHoDIsrs.--Ths progress of the
Methodist denomination, from its rise but
a century since, is something really won
derful in history. And It certainly has
lost none Of its vital energy. Intensely
aggressive, it is so far like and equal to
Mahomedanism, but with this vast differ
encs; its weapons are not carnal, but
spiritual I; its conquests are those not Of
the sword, but Of faith and zeal. Its
warfare is not against any class Of men,
but against intemperance, vice, and every
form Of sin and misery that holds men in
bondage. It's object is not to exalt an i'm
perious despot like Mohamed, who toler.
ated polygamy and taught cruelty, but
to lead men to the pure, simple, uncom-
promising and loving religion Of Jesus
Christ.-Ezchange paper.

BREATHING.

Every person must breathe to live, and
yet how few are aware Of the full import
Of the &C. Of breathing. Many seem to re.
gard il a. q mere exercise Of the lungs ;
but even they have often nc misgivings IN
curtailing this exercise in various ways so
a. to prevent a full and regular expansion
Of the chest. Breathing is a twofold pro-
cess. The lungs, during inspiration, take
in atmospheric air as a vitality IN food'
which mixes with the blood, and fits It for
Il, various du,is, OF supplying all the or
ran OF the body with material for their
growth and capacity to discharge their
appropriate functions. In the second, the
lungs in expiration give out another kind
OF air, which carries with it A. its solid
basis matters used. effets and no longer
wanted, and the retention Of which in the
blood would DO dels,srious and before
long fatal.
These two parts Of the process Of breath
ing are always carried on together. and in
assignabls proportions the one to the
other. There 10 . continual interchange
Of airs, or rather gases, going on in the
lungs. The oxygen Of the air, the vital
king portion. passes inwards through sh'
fine membrane lining Of the lungs into the
blood vessels, where it combines with the
eff.,s carbon and forms earbonie acid
This las. passes outward through the pull
mon,ry membrane, and. mixing with va
o extracted at the same time. it is given
o. from the lungs in expiration.
Our readers will have better idea o.
the vital importance Of regular and full
breathing. when they learn that the mate
rial Of supply, the oxygen Of the asmos'
pheric air, taken into the lungs amounts
to four or Ave pounds in the twenty-fou'
hour, and the sxcreted and waste matter
carbon, the bsser element Of carbonic acid
amounts to between eight and nine ounces
or more than half a pound, in the twenty
four hours. Il 10 easy to infer from thes'
premises how the health must suffer from
the want Of pure air to supply oxygen
and Of its constant renewal and moysmen
BY ventilation to carry of the dsleterioul
carbon Of the earbonic acid.

NUMBER OF GERMAN PRINcEs.-Prior
to the French Revolution there were about
three hundred sovereign houses in Ger.
many. and the pettiest ruler, by a small
sacrifice OF his independence, could MAKE
himself despotic within the circle OF his
dominion if he thought ct. He had only
TO place himself under the protection Of q
powerful neighbor. and his subjects were
compelled to submit to any amount Of
exaction or injustice he chose to iufict. A
striking example was afforded BY Hesse
Casssl in 1850, when the entire population
rose as one man to expel the detested
Minister Hassenlug, but were compelled
by Russia to take him back. National
ethics have somewhat improved since
then under Count Bismark's tuition; and
Prussia, in this year Of grace. 1866. ha'
no misgivings in taking Hesse Cassel to
herself, and letting the Elector 60 about
his business.
