Fashionable Drinkers.

Having stirred up a genuine sensatio,
among the retail grocers of New York city
by its exposures of light weights and adu'tera,
tions, the Forld has now attacked far moro
vulnerable and miscbeyous class of dealers
the vendors Of liquors by the glass. To make
its exposures the more effective, samples Of
the most expensive whiskey and brandy weI
bought some time since by the Worlds com>
missioner at several Of the most fashionable
bar-rooms in the city, and subjected to chemi-
cal analysis by Professor John G. Draper
The results obtained will astonish and horr-
fly the gentlemen who have been in the habit
OF taking their 'toddies" at these places.
under the delusion that high prices insured
pure and undilutcd article At but one
bar in the list was the brandy obtained pure,
and in this instance it was greatly Diluted
The whskey was better, but generally con-
tanned more or less of the poisonous fiisil oil
and of tannin, and was invar;bly diluted.
The generalization from the facts obtained
is that sin our day there is barely one gallo
in hundred thousand manufactured that 8
not adultorated or badly rectifed." This may
be a rather broad statement, but it is substant;
ally justified by the facts. At all events, il
. undoubtedly true tbaC even those VINO Cali
afford to pay the highest prices for liquors, at
the m ost repu able bars, will, in ma ority G
cases, drink an aduiterated and posnous
article. It Is this fact which accounts for the
fearful ravages of disease among the fashion
able drinkers of the day The adultcrate'!
liquors derangc the system, create a morbid
condition which demands continuance q
the poison, craze the brain, and make prem
turo drunkardS. This fearful and inoontro
vertible fact should be burned into the mind
Of every young man in the country.

4 Lover in the Closet.

A short time since very enterprising
young merchant, who is the happy possessor
of wife as beautiful as heart could desire,
had occasion to visit Mobile. He was gone
but week. and returned sooner than was ex
pected, Reaching home at an hour when tho
gray of the morning was miaglng with tie
all in bed. Proceeding directly to his wife
apartment, he raped for admission, at tn;
same time announcing who he was. At the
mention Of his name he thought he detected
smothered exclamation of surprise, and
then some one got hurriedly from the bod
and sought refuge in a closet adjoining his
bed room. All this he heard distinctly, as no
waited in the cold, with the demon of jealousy
Juggling away at his heart. There was son,o
one iu his wife's room; there could be n,s
doubt Of that and that some one had sought ,
refuge liz the closet was equally clear. VIVA
else could it be than a lover Mad with
jealousy, furious and indignant, he could
scarcely wait for the door to be opened befora
he burst into the room and made for the closet,
His wife interfcred and begged that h..
wouldn't open the door concealing this dis
turber Of domestic peace. He dashed her
aside furiously, but she clung to the Oils of
his coat. The strain made upon those useful
appendages at last compelled them to give
way, and the angry benedict threw VI ide ope,,
the door Of the closet, and, 10 instead of tho
cunning libertine, his astonished eyes reste,i
On one Of the prettiest girls imaginable Sl.e
was passing the night with his wife, and try,
ng to avoid meeting him in disbaJMc ,brougl.s
lbout rather embarrassing denouement.--
The gentleman, however, it may be as we'll to
state, prosecuted his search no further, and,
astead, made hasty retreat Pi;cayune.

THE PANIC AND TUMBLE0F FOUR MONTHS

Let the people answer how we have driven back
into their native obscuriy, the countless called,
cheap Stores, and squelched the swinding system
Of these greedy INTERVALS.
The dose was powerful and went through like
lightning. Our purchases from the Gallego Whit
ney Blanket Factory, from the winding up of Oh
liver Mawbray, in Grand street, New York, we
got the lions share Of his goods at GO cents in the
dollar. From the smash at Whitmarsh & Bro,
our purchases, in a single day, amounted to over
seven thousand dollars. This is the music that
brings the everlasting crowd whilst other mer-
chants sleep upon their counters. Our skirmish
line of sharpshooters is upon the front, day and
night, unwavering, unhnching and unfaltcring,
never looking backwards: in the Auction Rooms,
at the Sheriffs sales, at the Marshal's the Bank
rupt and Assignees. This accounts for our low
prices. We believe in square fighting and Cheap
Goods, and to this we attribute the unusual pop
ularity Of the house in its giant strides to great
ness. This is the secret Of this Incompatible
stock and these Inatchless prices.

The Masonic Brotherhood.

The following incident, illustrating the Ma
sonic Brotherhood, we extract from an ora
ton delivered by Brother Thomas t. Garrett,
at the recent opening of their new hall in St..
Louis:
Much is said and surmised about the pecu-
liar nature of our tie of brotherhood, which,
to the world, appear SO mysterious, so endu-
ring and so strong. To many their univer-
salty and binding force are uncomfortable
They cannot be fully explained except within
the secret reces SOS OF the lodge; but I may be
permitted 10 give simple illustration of the
true spirit Of Masonic Brotherhood, which
came under my personal notice, not long ago.
Two men had been fast friends In an evil
hour they quarreled, and from violent words
they came to daggers' points, but used no dag
gers. They did not speak, and had not spo-
ken together for years. Mutual friends had
tried the arts of reconciliation in vain. They
were avoWed enemies for life.
The whole difficulty was purely personal,
and the honor Of neither was impeached eth
or by the origin of the quarrel, or subsequent
circumstances. Probably they were equally
to blame; possibly not No matter One of
them became a Mason after the estrangemeut.
and it happened the other remained ignorant
Of the fact. One evening he, too, was ad-
mitted into lodge. Almost the first voice
he heard, and certainly the first face he saw,
was tina: of his enemy, who presided over the
ceremonies of initiation, and was obliged, ac-
cordipg to usage, to address him by the title
of brother" This was most peculiar stu
alton, and severe ordeal for both.
~ tter the lodge was closed, the apprentice
sought the master, and without any prelim-
inaries, the following coIloquy ensued, COM
menced by the new y-made mason:
care you member Of this lodge p The
reply was, II am"
Were you present when I was elected p
II was"
"May I ask if you voted?''
Il did"
Snow, will you tell me how many votes it
requires to reject in ballot for admission p
The Master answered, 'Cnc."
There was nothing more to say. The in
itiate extended his hard, which was warmly
grasped by the other, and uttered with thrill
ling accents and deep emotion in his voice
Friend Brother You have taught me a
lesson I shall never forget !"
This is little ray Of Masonic light. No
language is SO eloquent as the silent throb-
bing of a heart full of joyful tears. Where
this kind Of cement is used in our moral edi-
fee, should it not be enduring? Who can
wonder that it is so strong?

OBITUARY.

CFrom the n. O. Christian Advocated
J.. MURPHY Lewis, aged twenty-five years,
| third son ofthe late Judge William B. Lewis,
of Opelonsas, Louisiana. died January 25th,
| at Lake Char les, Louisiana, after a protracted
illness of of several months, He was a
young man of vigorous constitution till his
captivity, during the recent war, in Camp
Chase and Fort Delaware. Since then his
health declined slowly but he suffered so
little that he had no consciousness of the
nearneSs of death even in his last hours.
He literally faded away. In his last days
he often talked atfectionately of his aunts
Thompson and Jewel, who treated him so
kindly and prayed with him 50 often during
his stay in Memphis some while back.
He also made frequent mention of an ar
my comrade named Lyman Reed, of New
Orleans, to whom he was greatly attached.
That young mans truly pions department
in the army had begotten in the deceased a
warming iof experimental religion. and eX-
crciSed Il lallowirg influence upon him down
to the grave. 0 how mnch there is in eX-
ample-what preaching so etfective! Last
year Brother Lewis joined the Methodist
T. ilScODai tliTcn SCUM At t1.S place.
From conversations with him then and
since | know he was in earnest as a seeker
of religion. \ short time before his death,
his criefstrickcn mother tells me, he gave
unmistakahIe evidence ofhaving experienced
that blessed change of heart which alone
maketh meet for the kingdom of heaven.
All through his sickness he exhibited re-
markable patience. and frequently gave
thanks to God for sparing him from pain.
Toward the last he delighted to look out
from his bed on the bright, be utiful sun
shine, and calmly watch the light, foecy
clouds floating along the sky. All! the
spirit was then plumins for its npward flight.
The deceased was greatly beloved, so gentle
was he of disposition and so full of large
hcartedne>s. SO utterly unseltiSh was he,
even in his sickness. that he was ever occu-
plying himself in sending some little presents
or other 10 everybody who showed him any
kindness. We may truly say in his case
what we also said of his dear fathers death
one short year ago-his end was peace.

1t is a fact, perhaps not generally
known, but interesting to young men,
that the solitary ringlet, which floats from
SO many waterfalls, is a notification on
the part of the wearers that they are not
engaged. If it is extremely long. the
wearer is supposed to be very DESTROYS
Of getting spliced at once; if only mode
rately long, it shows that only good Of
fers will be entertained; an extremely
short, meagre ringlet indicates that the
wearer is very particular as to whom she
accepts.

We have been refreshed and gratified by
a perusal of the proceedings and speeches
of the business men of st. Louis, as giveu
in the N. 0, Times, in the matter of the
grain trade. They seem to have Weakened
up fomthe long sleep into which they
had fallen, and to have become conscious
that while they slept others had beer
wide awake. We truly wish them sue
cess in their noble and praise-worthy
undertaking, which will give to St. Louis
the position her geographical location emit
ties her to, and at the same time greatly
enlarge the commerce of New Orleans, and
incidentally profit the State of Louisiana al
large. May we not hope to see the Cham
Der of Commerce of New Orleans taking
action to encourage this desirable en-
terprise? Gentlemen, you, too, have been
asleep but with the example of your Yves.
tern friends before you, you should wake
up, and make one step forward in the way
of progress. Is New Orleans unworthy o.
your efforts? Is her position naturally in.
ferior to that ofNew York, Chicago, or St.
Louis? Cannot all the wealth of produc
ton be freighted from your wharves to the
ends of the earth. and are not your advanta.
ges equal to the demands of the entire Yves.
tern commerce? INDAMORA.
