Pierce was distinguished only for its
political squabblings and blunders. The
Did bachelor Buchanan, on the other
hand-a devoted ladies' nlsn-with his
handsome and amiable niece, Miss Hsr-
riet Lane, as mistress of the ceremonies,
made the Presidents receptions remark
ably enjoyable. Nor car it be justly de-
MED that Mrs. Lincoln discharged the
vastly increased responsibilities of her
position as if born and trained for 1t.
Mrs. johnson is relieved from the cares
of state by her daughters, Mrs. Slower
and Mrs. Senator Patterson, who are
universally esteemed as %euinently worthy
the distinction they have attained.
This brings us down to Mrs. Gen.
Grant. An unpretending, unambitious
woman of the West, the wife of a man
who but the other day was called from
his lanyard to put down a gigantic re-
bellion; how will Mrs. Grant dispense
the honors that await her? Like the
daughter of a good and esteemed citizen
and the wife of a great soldier, brsvely
and well. Nay, we undertake to predict
that, though last, she will not be the
least in our list of the henored ladies of
the White House.

THE artificial island now in course Of
construction in the lower part of the bay
of New York will, when completed, com
prise an area of about two acres. To pro-
tect Its onter edges, massive cribs, thirty
feet wide at the base and twenty feet at
the top, made of oak timbers, firmly
jointed, have been SO sunk as to leave
about ten feet above high-water mark.
These, in turn, have been filed with
heavy blocks of stone, and the outer ser
vice of the entire structure has been
faced with oak planking, closely set. As
an additional protection, massive stones
have been heaped against the outer face
of the wall, as its most exposed points.
and ths bulwark is deemed perfectly Sc
cure. Within this Enclosure sand and
broken stones have been thrown, and
piles are being driven upon which to
erect the hospitals and other necessary
buildings.

LIQUORS
Where The Genuine Article"
Comes From.

From the New York Commonwealth
One is impressed to seek a reason for
the number of murders and sudden
deaths which are now so frequently re-
ported, and in doing so there is one
fruitful source to which TO trace the
course of the evil, and that is the amount
of made-up and poisoned liquors now
sold to the public as a beverage. In &
very large majority Of the cases of muir
ders reported, the murderers have been
found to be laboring under 8 species of
insanity, produced by the fiery poison of
a made-up stuff called liquors. The
high cost of distilling or importing
liquors is largely the excuse for this
and the numbers of manufactures of
imitation liquors in this city is now quite
as large as that of the importers. At
any corner you may find a compounder
of p%oisons, and it is too tempting a
business to be easily prevented. Ten
dollars worth Of strychnine or other
poisonous drugs, will impart to Il barrel
of beer double the strength of that
value of hops, and with the present skill
in chemical preparations, hardly a gal
Ion of pure liquor is necessary to pro-
duce thousands of gallons. Thus the
city is flooded with these poisons, call
ing them by all sorts of names. The
best brands of ehampagnes are wholly
produced in this country in such perfect
limitations, that the genuine cannot be
detected if by chance a bottle should be
mixed with il. The California wines
offered for sale are very largely but the
made up manufacture of certain estab-
lishments in this city. So with other
wines and liquors. Nor are these exag-
gerated statements they can be verified
any day by the assessors of internal
revenue, and the examination of the
liquor. Bat can nothing be done to stop
this wholesale poisoning of the COM
munity? Must every man who takes a
glass of wine become a possible MUIR
derer, an insane homicide? The evil is
one which cannot be overlooked.

THE EUCALYPTUs.-We have on 8
previous occasion called the notice of
our readers to this remarkable Austria
liam tree, which, attaining a hight of
nearly FIVE hundred feet, exceeds in this
respect the far-famed big trees of
California. Attention has recently been
directed to the great economic value of
the tree, its extreme rapidity Of growth,
the compactness of its fibre, and its
adaptation to arid and waterless regions
of the warmer aportions of the globe;
and the Italian Government is at present
engaged in introducing it into that king
dom, hoping thereby to restore a forest
vegetatio to the denuded SUBMITS and
ridges of the mountain chains. 1t has
already been tried in Algiers, where a
tree fifteen years old shows the volume
and all the qualities of an oak of one
hundred, and a seed planted three years
ago has now furnished a tree four feet in
circumference at the base. The leaves
exhale a delightful fragrance, and are
said to exercise a decidedly anti-mias-
matte effect. The bark of the tree is
hard and very rich in tanning.
