At the meeting Of the Ameri

day, Mr.. Eli johnson said
Two years ago prominent win,
importer died in this city. A.

single invoice of wine wa:
found, but in his cellar machine
ry for making it was discovered
There are beer factories that
can make beer in fifteen min
utes without particle Of hops
or malt. / had heard that
drumrners of liquor no longer
carried around samples ofliquors.
They took a box of drugs in
stead, from which TO manufac-
ture their wares. For a long
time | tired to obtain a similar
bux but failed to do so. Final
ly a young physician commit
ted suicide induced by use of
poisonous liquor. Among his
effects was found one of these
sample cases. Here it is. The
lecturer showed a black tin box,
in which were several bottles
containing colored liquors. He
continued: Gin this box were
essential oils for making eight
kinds of brandy, six of whisky,
four of gin, and two Of wine.
Each of these bottles is guaran-
teed to make twenty gallons of
liquor. There is a house in this
city that manufactures these
articles. This bottle of oil
made by them contains materi-
al for twenty gallons of French
brandy. They also issue this
book of directions, which he
showed, (which specifies one
hundred different oils for man
ufacturing drinks. All are
made OF different parts of alco-
hol, water, sugar, tartaric acid
and other, deleterious ingredi-
ents, together with the essential
oil. The oil is the only change
made in any of them. This
bottle is guaranteed to make
twenty gallons of port wine; it
is what physicians order for sick
people,"

An old gentleman in a Frank
lin County town who recently
became the recipient of, his first
postal card, placed his specs
carefully astride his nasal organ
and eyed the pastboard closely.
"What is this thing, anyway

postal card, of course" was the
answer. "A post-hole card?
What is .sich thing good for,
I'd like to know?" He was IN
formed that a cheap rate of pos

twenty-three young men who
only last month stepped across
the threshold of life from an
Eastern college, and went forth
upon the trackless ocean of life
TO battle with relentless fate,
and win renown or glorious
death in the arena, eleven are
clerking in auction stores at
fourteen dollars a month, one
is running a fish boat, two are
learning the house painting
trade, one starved to death be-
fore he had been out a week, one
is driving a team on a street
contract, TWO are tramps, and
the others are living with wild
owed mothers, who are their
only support. Fact is, breth-
rem, when old life grapples its
hooks into a mans collar il
shakes all his arena and ocean
and battle business out of him
SO quick that in six weeks, if
he is alive, he knows, more in a
minute about the price of pork
and -four than he can tell you
about a Greek root in six
months.

One Of Louis Napoleon
Adventures.
Hartford Courant.

In the year 1884 the fall elec
tion in New York had been pre-
ceded by a campaign Of universe
excitement. The great Demo
cratic leader, William L. Marcy
was the candidate of his party fol
Governor. 1t was expected thai
there would be lively times or
the day of election in the city of
New York, and several Hartford
merchants arranged to 60 down
together to see the fun, and al
the same time take advantage of
the trip to purchase goods. They
arrived in the city by boat on the
morning of election and took rooms
at the New York Hotel, which
stood on the present site of A. T.
Stewart & Co.'s down town store
on Chambers street. Among the
number were David Clark and
A. S. Porter. The whole party
visited some of the voting pre-
cincts and saw the "fun," which
included many street fights and
minor rows.
During the afternoon Mr.. Clark
and Mr.. Porter were looking over
newspapers in the reading room
of the hotel, and were seated a.
part. At one end Of the room
was the bar. While Clark was
busily engaged reading his atten.
ton was attracted by loud voices,
among which he recognized Mr..
Porter's, and looking up saw three
young fellows somewhat excitedly
engaged in conversation with Mr..
Porter. He went at once to learn
the cause of the debate, and found
that the strangers were demand.
ing that Mr.. Porter should pay
for a bottle OF wine which they
alleged be had lost on a bet. or
course be had made no bet, and
the fellows were trying to impose
upon bin. Mr.. Clark was then
a spare nan--not as portly as he
is now--but was muscular and
strong and was a dangerous sub
ject in a rough and tumble.
When he heard the spokesman
Of the party of three declare that
unless Porter paid the wine every
bone in his body should be broken,
be stepped up to the fellow and
said, "You try that once, and I'll
take every one of you singly and
throw ycu out of that window
pointing to a window not far up
from the floor. The clustering
young man looked up at the tail
form before him, and seeing two
sledge hammer fists and long arms
ready for business, took the hint
to depart, and his companions
went with him.
Mr.. Clark was considerably in
in the episode, and before
be left New York learned that
the fellow thathe had talked with
was Louis Napoleon, who was
hen leading fast and reckless
lie in the metropolis. When he
saw the man again it was in 1857,
but under different circumstances.
It was in Paris, and the youth
had become Emperor ofthe French,
and Mr.. Clark did not think it
to introduce himself as
she person who twenty odd years
before showed fight in New York.

Wrapt in slumber deep-reposing,
Slumber all of earth must know:
Life for thee no scenes disclosing,
Scenes of bliss, nor scenes of woe.
Still, the waves of wild emotion,
O'er thy soul no more they sweep:
Calm the depths Of human passion, /
Wrapt in deaths unbroken sleep.
Tranquil tho thy lonely pillow,
Calm, serene, unconscious thou;
Yet the beauteous waving willow,
O'er thee seems lamenting now.
While in mournful aspect weeping,
Dropping sadly, dropping low;
Waves the foliage fair and sweeping
So replete with seeming woe.
Still reclining sadly ever
Still as if deploring thee,
When from earthly scenes I sever;
What will thus lament for me

RUSSIAN VIEWS OF THE PROTOCOL.
A despatch from Berlin to the Times
says the Russians appear to regard the
protocol as a valuable concession obtained
by Russia. The Galos expressed the highest
satisfaction at the anglo Russian settlement.
PEACE CONSIDERED CERTAIN.

that peace may now be considered certain,
as England has apparently decided to sign
a protocol containing the principles of coer-
cion. The ob.e,t is to make the people be.
lieve Russia has gained diplomatic. victo"

TURBULENT soFTAs.
A special despatch from Constantinople
dated March II, says: "Popular feeling
against Mahamaud Damaud Is gaining
ground. Thirty Sofas were arrested on

The Minister of Police has been dismissed
because he was insufficiently watchful. A
large body of softas went to the palace on
Wednesday to demand the release of their
comrades. Threatening revolutionary pla-
cards are increasing, and the people within
palace are becoming anxious.
ENGLISH VIEWS.
The Pail Mall Gazette saya "The hopes
excited by the acceptance in principle of
Ignatieff's proposal seem to have settled
into confidence that peace will be secured"
The confidence may be justified, but we
think it better not to take so much for
granted. As far as we know the assertion
that the English amendments have been
accepted is mere guess work.
All this confidence may operate to the
disadvantage of the English government
AID English policy. 1t ispreparing increas-
ed difficulty for them should the amend
ments and stipulation for disarmament be
not accepted outright. Should Russia ac-
cept the amendments but demur to disarm-
ament the English government might
reasonably argue that the two things should
60 together. Then the whole mass of spec
ulators, investors, and traders would raise
a cry of impatience against the English
objections.
Therefore we say the feelings of hope and
confidence Russia has succeeded In raising
are important from diplomatic point of
view, aud If not turned to account the pro-
verbal astuteness of Russian diplomacy
will for once have failed.
