Extract from a Letter from Santa Ci,oic.
We had wandered for many
hours through tangled forests of Tropieal
shrubs and trees, some of them emitting most
delicious and invigorating odor, when we SUBJ
denly came upon large and well cultivated
plantation, in the center of which were several
buildings. Entering these we found them to
be the "press houses, stills, &C., where the
sugar cane is crushed for the manufacture of
work, and the smell from the fermenting watts
was very exhilarating and pleasant We were
shown thro ugh the entire establishment, and
learned that all the Rum here produced was
shipped to Messrs. p. III. Drake & Co., New
York, to be made into their celebrated PLAN
TATIoN BITTERs. The peculiar good effects of
this Rum-which is the purest and best in the
world, are well known. Not single case of
Dyspepsia, Fever and Ague, Consumption, or
auy such disease can be found ON this island,
Except of invalids come here for their health |
and they are almost always cured). Combined |
with Calisaya Bark, Cascarilla, and other i'm
portant ingredients, this Rum becomes PLAN
rAT1oN BTTTERs; and surely no finer Tonic |
and general Family Remedy was ever SEEM
The combination of these Bitters was first dis
covered here many years ago, and all the ma
lives swear by Plantation Bitters, and say,
I" there is nothing like il" Judging by the ro-
bust health of the witnesses, am certain their
testimony is true =

Fashionable Society.

The rottenness OF fashionable society in
New has met with disgusting exposure in
the case of the sel:styled Lord Ainsley.
Appearing, earley in the season, at Newport,
under the name of Mr.. Leroy" as a wealthy
French gentleman, putting on pretentious airs,
and spending money freely, he was admitted
without question into the best society. En-
boldened by his success, he re-appears in New
York, assuming the style and title of younger
son of British duke--caling himself Lord
Hubert Ainsley. He was recognized as the
alias Mr. Leroy, but as he still seemed to have
plenty of money, his explanations for appear
ing under another name at Newport were &C.
cepted without question, and now, as "sprig
of nobility" there was no limit to his popu-
larity In the " first circles" of New York
society. TO enquire into his pretensions never
seems to have suggested itself to any one.
British dukes are not numerous Lists of all
the members of their families are given in
court calenders and peerage books of which
there are plenty of copies in New York. Yet

The Election.

Allow us to express our opinion on this
election business. We emphatically don't like
it. We positively can't hurrah over the re-
suit. The fowl that does our growing has
joined the wide-a-wakes; he has gone over to
the enemy, and he belches forth his clarion
notes at us. Let him crow We never re-.
joice at funeral, especially when it is our
funeral. We have too much veneration for
the corpse; too great regard for the friends
OF the deceased. We are among the mourn
ers. According to Eastwood scripture, it is
said, in this memorable language "And the
whangdoodle mourneth." Those are we.
Thems U.S. Them sentiments is our'n, or
words of like import.
The Radicals feel good. They rejoice about
having the "victory," whatever that may be.
Let them rejoice. Every dog has his day, but
these chaps have "dog on'd" good many
days-so to speak. The a.lage has it, " 1t is
q long lane that has no turn" and we begin
to fear ours is some of those" Still we are
not discouraged. Oh, no! Let us fight on.
" The race is not to the swift, nor the battle
to the strong" and we expect TO see this axiom
fully verified in our political affairs.
All jokes aside we actually believe the late
election resulted in favor of the Radicals be-
cause they had the votes to do it, We must
see to it that they play no such game next
season. We are expecting sort of Asiatic
cholera along here, which will only kill off
Radicals. Let that come, and "we've got
'em" So long as we can't hurrah for the
election, let us yell for the cholera-or any
thing but another Radical triumph!

upon, the bridge to cost $3.50, Mr.. Thomas,
