About Sauce.

1t is a significant fact that among The
many. rehshes for the table that of sauce
seems TO be the least understood. There
are SO many.Ylle condiments sold for sauce
that the wonder is how each aspirant for
saucy honor8 manages to affect any sales.
The article of sauce is one that requires
almost a life study to bring to perfection.
for there are Tor ought to be) so many in
gradients used in its composition that each
must be studied separately, and not until
the manufacturer has satisfied himself
that every article is ready to be utilized,
should the process of mixing be commenc
ed. Halford's Leicestershire Sauce is an
article that has taken years to bring to its
present state Of perfection, and the many
vile compounds put up under every con-
ceivable name should be swept, if not from
the face OF the earth, at least from the
grocers' shelves. Like the famous Bass,
whose name is Synonymous with ale, SO
has Aalf0rd become synonym fer sauce.
From its pungent and exhilarating quail
ties it has proved a valuable tonic in cases
of dyspepsia, and as relish for all meats
or soups it is unrivalled,

If the American congress wishes to tax
tea andscofee why doesit not doit. The idea
that tea and coffee is used by the masses,
and that not to tax it will make party cap
ital is all nonsense. The same voters, bar
ring old maids, use more whisky, tobacco
and cigars than they do of either tea or
coffee. 1t is a species of injustice to make
the states of Illinois, Kentucky and Ten
nessee pay two thirds of this indirect tax
alton. Either one of these states pay more
to the support of the government than all
Of New England combined. To raise a
revenue from tea and coffee would more
evenly divide the burden than to place it
upon few articles so that it will fall upon
three or four states. This revenue must
be raised and there is no justice in exempt
ing these articles.

The Way Vanderbilt Succeeded.

When Commodore Vanderbilt was run
ming steamboats,, he beat all rivalry by
crowding Cd steam to the utmost, and even
running down his enemy if necessary, to
accomplish triumph. When he went into
railroading, he adopted much shrewder
and more successful way, by uniting vast
lines and their tributaries under his own
management, thus capturing all rivals, by
sharing with them the immense pool of
profits that were made by his skillful man
ipulation. Messrs. Lawre uce & Co, bankers.
n. Y, accomplish much greater success
10 stock operations by their new Com bina-
ton Method of dealing, By this system the
orders of thousands of customers are
pooled into one vast sum and co operated
under the most experienced management,
thus giving to each shareholder all the
benefits of large capital and best skill.
Profits divided monthly. Any amount
from S. to $25, 900 can be used with great
success. $l5 will make $75 profit; $50
would return $50 or 9 per cent. on tie
stock during the month, according to the
market. The new circular (mailed free
