Some days since letter appeared In the HERALD,
written by me in relation to my employment as
counsel In the divorce case OF M. NJ taias Brick'J

paroles. With characteristic efrrontery Pomeroy
denied publicly that had ever been employed. or
my services requested. by Mrs. Pomeroy IN that be-
half When received the letter OF that lady, as
she was unknown to me-and the fact that
she was connected with Pomeroy not being
an assuring one-I took measures, as the
enclosed correspondence drcloses to ascertain her
standing and responsibility In the community where
she resides, and also her exact wishes. and then
wrote her that would act as counsel. All that Is
correspondence. without any application on my
part, Mrs. Pomeroy has sent me the letter which
closes the case. For obvious reasons, have drawn
my pen through the name OF my correspondent so

The pride Of ancestry is an absorbing
passion with some people. To be des-
cended from William the Conqueror,
the Normans, the Cavaliers, or the Pu-
ritans, is regarded by some as a high
honor. What is called blue blood is
supposed to flow in the veins Of the pa
trician, while vulgar red blood courses
slowly through the arteries Of a Commu-
MIST To show how blood is mixed in
this world some statistician figures up
the following: Every human being on
the face of the globe is compelled, by
the demand of nature, to have two pa
rents, four grand parents, eight great
grand parents, sixteen ancestors in the
fourth generation back, thirty-two in the
fifth, two hundred and fifty six in the
eighth, 26,7Sl in the fifteenth, almost
$50, 900 in the twentieth, and nearly
.OG3, 900, 600 in the thirtieth The
whole number of ones ancestors in the
fftieth generation is 5,l72,69i, Sl4,2l4,
OLGA multitude which no man can
number and no mind conceive. The
blood Of this vast host is running
through the veins of every mortal on the
earth, and that reckoning back only
fifty generations"

Some New England lady, Mrs. Daniels,

Of the necessary adjuncts that 20 to

and cherished institution; and although
the elastic invention with the buckle has
been adopted by many city bellies, the
free-bOrn and unconventional country
girls still stick to Irvine and tape, and

the primitive wisp Of straw. We will

Genuine beer is as hard to find as pure
ale or porter. Not only are malt and
hop beers largely adulterated, but beers
are made without malt or hops. Sugar,
honey, molasses, and liquorice are used
for malt; alum, opium, gentian, quassia'
aloes, cocculus, indicus, amara, tobacco
and nux for hops; saltpetre, jalap, salt,
maranta, green copperas, marble dust,
oyster shells, sulphate of lime, harris
horn, shavings, nut-galls, potash, soda,
etc, to prevent souring. The beautiful
cauiiaower head often comes from green
vitriol. alum and salt. The smack OF
age and the Jingle to the palate often
zones from alum, and new beer is made
old in a few hours by oil OF yltrioi.
Take your ale. beer and porter IT you
will. but remember its strength or intox-
icating qualities may be due to the
deadly cocculus indicus, foxgloye, hen
bane multum and nux-vomica, and the
narcotic power to opium, tobacco and
grains of paradise. Smack your lips at
the Jingle of lime and pepper, and ex-
nit in the foam of copperas and lime.
