INTERESTING To WHISKY DRINKERS.

The Philadelphia Prize Current says thai
the Western distillcrs have recently invented
a new system of manufacturing whisky, hy
means of which peculiar strength and odoy
are impaired to the product, highly injurious.
to the health of consumer, and certainly not
creditable to those engaged in its sale
Neither The noxous ingredients Themselves
nor the process Of manufacture are Known to
many outside of the ring, but sufficient has
leaked out to show the character Of the Inen
and the business. Sulphnric acid is Blended.
with the mash or applied directly to the
product of the stills, which imparts disa-
greeable odor to the whisky; and so power
ful is its effects upon it that it cerrodes and
eats up the inside of the barrels in which the
foul compound is kept.
Another feature of this ot-eut, sold under
the name Of whisky, is that it cannot be ex-
trac.ed by any process of distillaton, redis-
tillation or reciiiication. This fact has caused
its presence 10 be traced in high wines pur-
chased from the West by respectable dstll-
ers here, and prompted them to shut down
on the nefarious traffic as injurious TO life and
the best interests of the trade. BY experi-
ment it has been tested that if small piece
OF iron or copper is inserted into a barrel of
whisky adulterated with this acid, the entire
mass will be instantly blackened, ard if left
in short time will evolve large quantities
of disacetate Of copper or verdigris. Such a
compound connot fail to prove fearfully inju-
rious to tie public health if brought into
general use, and we are glad to perceive that
combined effort is contemplated by the
trade to discard it altogether. If this be not
sufficient, the consequences are sufficiently
serious to call for some legislative enactment
by which the sale of this poisonous stuff shall
be prohibited under the severest penalties.

FREE SCHOOLS.

The friends of free schools should again
bestir themselves. The season is rapidly
advancing when schools should be opened.
It is all-important that there should be a
good beginning, We cannot expect per-
fiction at the start, and are prepared for
irregularities until, by experience, we are
able to overcome them. But II we do well
from the beginning, it will disarin grum-
blers, who have long since made up their
minds to oppose everything which may
be done to impart general education to the
young. We expect all the opposition such
men are able to give, but it will be harm
less If the friends of the cause will only
remain true and watchful. ..r nm No.
The tax books are now in the hands of
the collector, and the earlier the school tax
is paid the better. twill save trouble and
embarrassment generally. Then the ques-
ton of employing teachers is an import
ant one. None but competent persons
should be engaged. Men and women Of
high standing both as to morals and lite
rary qualifications should be employed as
far as possible. We will look with pro-
found interest upon the organization and
first years operations of these schools. If
successful, they will reflect everlasting
credit upon their first managers.

much as if they have come out all right.

NARRow.eAUGE RAILWAYS.

On looking over our exchanges,
and by the frequent intercourse we
have had with railroad and business
are convinced that the subject of mar
row-gauge railroads, being so ably discus
sed by prominent engineers and railroad
men, will revolutionize the commercial In
terest of our country. No subject has SO
interested the people, especially those who
have been large investors In railway enter
prises,a as that of the narrow-gauge railroad.
Even with us there are probabilities of
changing our proposed lines North and
South to less gauge. The importance of
this is eminent, on account of the difficult
ties these lines have to encounter in pass
ing over our mountain districts, and the
length of time required to make the full
gauge profitable. 1t Is well known that only
q few ofthe railroads in the South are pay
ing dividends, and the monied man is 10th
to indulge in anything in which he
does not see quick profits, and a perma-
nency in the investment. Heretofore the
people, speaking in pecuniary point of
view, have generally been impoverished
by public improvements, though CONNER
cially they have been benefited. q
There was period in our commercial
intercourse when time was not as valuable
as now. A moment now is as valuable
to the business man, as an hour was
before steam, and electricity developed
the value of time, hence, the result of
cheaper and more rapid communication,
and this has been brought about by the
discussion of gauges. 1t has been fully de-
veloped, and that through the miniature
railway, known as the Festinrog railway
In Wales-thirteen miles long, the
gauge of which is one foot eleven and a
half inches, passing over steep grades and
sharp curves-that the speed and power OF
the narrow gauge, with few improv-
ments, will eqtal that of the standard
gauge and further, it has been proven that
train of this system will have less dead
weight and more paying freight per car
than that of wide gauge hfe a.qsol sth7
With these facts before us, we cannot
help predict the lines hereafter to be built
will be constructed upon the narrow gauge
system. Of what gauge is not fully de.
termined, though we hope that some uni
formity may be adopted SO that the trans.
fer of freight may not hinder the success
Of these enterprises.
