The Philadelphia Price Current says:

The fnll0OelpulH 1VSCS NWTTe~s o0yo'
Western distillers have recently invented
new system or mamma ctufings whisky BY
means of which a peculiar strength and
odor are impaired to the product. highly IN
furious to the health Of consumers, and Ger
tainlv not creditable to those engaged in its
sale. Neither the noxiOus ingredients them
selves nor the process of manufacture are
known to many outside the ring, but sutfi'
Gent has leaked out to show the character
of the men and the business. Suiphuric
acid is blended with the mash or applied
directly to the product of the stills, which
imparts q disagreeable odOr to the whisky;
and 40 powerful is its effect upon it that 1t
corrodes and eats up the inside OF the bar
rels in 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 distil-
iation. rehabilitation or rectifcatior. This
fact has caused its presence to be traced IN
highwines purchased from the West by re-
spectable distillers here, and prompted them
to shut down on the nefariOus traffic as in
furious to life and the interests Of the trade.
By experiment it has been tested that If q
small piece of iron or copper inserted into
barrel of whisky adulterated with this acid
the entire mass will be instantly blackened,
and if left in it for short time will evolve
large quantity of disacetate of copper, or
verdigris Such compound can not fall TO
prove fearfully injurious to the public
health, if brought into general use, and we
are glad to perceive that combined effort
is contemplated by the trade to discard 1t
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 pro-
hibited under the severest penalties.

Business Relations.

lrAOA aue shreveport 0tpuolICou.l
A very pertinent article in the New Or
leans REPUBLICAN,. entitled ''Social Tyranny
in the South" has raised the wind in the
sails Of the battle ships of the Democracy.
and they sail out to attack that irOn-clai-
the RErEBLICAN the impregnable posi-
ton which it has taken. Impregnable be-
cause facts give indubitable evidence of the
truth OF the assertions on this subject made
by the REPUBLICAN. We are here for a
legitimate business, the publication OF a
newspaper. and in the course of our bust
ness relations connected Herewith. we have
heard men, bigOts in the extreme, assert
sentiments derOgatOry to common sense ana
the business and social amenities of life
We will make asuppositiOnin contravention
of the position assumed by these men, in
this, that if Republicans should make a
business combination anita g0nistic to some
Of our lnerchants-On Political prin-
ciples form resolution not
to have commercial transactions with
none but Republicans, the result would
be the depletion Of their trade. the utter
ruin of their business, and an utter prostra-
tion of commercial enterprises. This would
be just, and an action or combination in the
same spirit Of political animosity which is
manifested by few merchants OF She high
est standing in our midst. Whats sauce
for the gander is sauce for the go9se.'' A
poor rule that wont work both WA.ys So
we say to our colored friends, wh0iaf-e most
Of them patrons Of these ot-headeal dema-
gogues, give your trade to good Reppbaica ans,
that is if you have cause to act in spirit of
political animosity. We believe in JhIstice.
and a common reciprocation in all tAAj rela.
tions Of life, be they social, cOmDelrcial.

which will advance the prosperity o. our

We copy this elegant notice of Colonel
George w. Carter from the Shreveport
Gazette:
Starting in public life as an able. Jealous
and popular pulpit orator, he won an en-
viable fame. Casting aside his priestly
robes for the armor of the soldier, he fol.
lowed the banner of the ''lost cause" with a
devotion seemingly real and patriotic,
during which time his high calling as fol-
lower of the Lamb of Peace was trampled
under foot and disgraced, and when wars
dread alarms no longer swept over our
country, We find him filling the role Of a
pOt-hOuse politician. familiar with the cess
pools of political dissipation and vice, per-
uniting no one to seek lower depths than
himself, and leagued with the most I'M
scrupulous meu to Cypress people Of whom
he was once an acknowledged leader and
friend. If he is All honest Republican now,
his whole previous life has been damning
and blasphemous lie. With all his gift Of
speech, rhetorical powers and whirlwind Of
oratory, he can not hurl that sure cOnvlc-
ton from the minds of men familiar with
his erratic and adventurous career. Pos
sessed of high gifts Of mind, lie has prosti-
tuted them to the basest uses. His God
given talents are enlisted in the service of
the devil and the Dunn wing of the Repub-
lican party of Louisiana, and well may he
be called a tit exponent Of both.

The Lockport Journal contains the fol-
lowing practical suggestion: ''Now, that
the crOquet and base ball season will ere
longer be over, we would. suggest, in order
that the muscle-developing process may
not stop, or that the amount developed by
the summers exercise may not lie dormant
during the long winter months, that the
base ball athletics turn their attention to
saving up the wood piles of widows and
sick folks during the winter. The exercise
is fully a. healthful, ia not so violent. dan.
gerous nor tiresome as base ball. and we are
sure the results will gratifv curious pub
lie as much, and we would prefer to give
the score Of wood-sawing class to that of
a base ball club, in our columns. What say
you. gents: Physicians recommend young
ladies 70 form walking clubs. This is
matter in which steps should be taken.
