A Chapter on Whisky.

The bibulously inclined of this city,
numbering many thousands, are invited
to read and ponder over the following
discovery as to the new system Of man
ufacturing whisky;
Western distillers have recently in
vented new system of manufacturing
whisky, by means of which a peculiar
strength and odor are impaired to the
product, highly injurious TO the health
Of con auIners, aud certainly not credita-
BILE TO those engaged in its sale. Neither
the noxious ingredients themselves, nor
the process of manufacture, are kown to
many outside the ring, but sufficient has
leaked out to show the character of the
men and business. Sulphuric acid is
blendid with the mash or applied direct
ly to the product Of the stills, which i'm
parts a disagreeable odor to the whisky,
and so powerful is its effect upon it that
it eorrodesand eats up the insides Of the
barrels ii which the foul compound is
kept
Another feature of this rot gut, sold
under the name of whisky, is that it can
not be extracted by any process of dis
tillation or rectifcation. This fact has
caused its presence to be traced in high
wines purchased from the West by re-
spectacle distillers here, and prompted
them to shut down on the nefarious
traffic as injurious to life and the inter-
estsof the trade. By experiment i has
been tested that if small piece of.iron
or copper is inserted into barrel Of
whisky adulterated with this acid the en-
tire mass will be instantly blackened,
and if left in it for a short time will
evolve large quantity of disacetate Of
copper or verdigris. Such a compound
can not fail to prove fearfully injurious
to the public health, if brought into gen
eral USE and combined effort is con-
templated by the trade to discard it alto
gether. If this is not sufficient, the con-
sequences are sufficiently serious to call
for some legislative enactment by which
the sale of this poisonous stuff shall be
prohibited under the severest penalties.

books, states, ETC., call at Cleaves, Smith

MEMPHIS THEATER.-An immense au.
dience attended the theater last night to
greet the fair beneficiary, Mrs. Oatesi
The dress circle and parquette were
crowded by fashionably- dressed ladies,
and hundreds were turned away before
eight O. clock, the seats being occupied.
This was deserving tribute to the tai
ented little lady, who has fer nearly a
week been presenting the comic opera
in its most attractive phases to our
citizens. The performance was opened
last night with that laughable farce,
Men the Good for Nothing, with Mrs.
Oates in the title role The charm
ing comic opera, the Prima Donna of a
Night, was finely presented by the
troupe. The quartettes, duets, etc, by
Mrs. Oates aud Messrs. Drew, Allen and
Crane, were applauded and encored by
the pleased and enthused audience.
Music attracts Memphians, and the
music of the burlesque stage i;and comic
opera has never been better presented
in this city than by the OATES Opera
Troupe. AT the matinee tod ay, that
laughable and attractive extravaganza
entitled the Fair One with the Blonde
Wig will be produced, and this evening
Little Faust, reconstructed aud i'm
proved will be the great attrac ton.
The grand comic, operate, fairy ext"ay-
aganza, Fortunio, will probably be pre-
sented next Monday night ~. 8ass
BRooT s.-Everybody visits Broom's
Jefferson Street Opera House to witness
the attractive variety performance pre-
scented every evening at this temple of

engaged, consisting of vocalists--both

formers. Go tonight and enjoy. the

The Appeal this morning uncorks its
wrath against the Gas Company, and in
Inmates that like the Legislature, the
old thing needs cleaning out. The com
plant is that the gas was not brilliant,
which lack of brillianey was due to a
lack Of pressure. This It states as a
fact, and which we say It knows nothing
about--is totally and entirely incompe-
tent to give an opinion upon the subject
But there is thing it does know about
tO-Wii that jury trial is going on in
one Of the Courts, and that any little
slur against the Gas Company may effect
the issue Of that suit. In other words,
the stale witticism referred TO was in
tended for buncombe-not to make the
Gas Company amend It's wicked ways.
