American Drinks.

American ideas in the improvement in rail
ways, telegraphs, and telephones, to say
nothing Of sewing machines and other i'm
portant factors in tho economy of life have
not only taken deep hold on our European
neghbors, but they are beginning to take
note of us and initiate us in smaller matters.
Americans are famous the world over for
their mixed drinks. Twenty years ago
shoulders and look awry at the suggestion of
an American mixed drink. In late years
many of the better class of English and CONT
mental Europeans have travelled in this coun-
try aud learned that American mixed drinks
were an improvement over the medieval po-
tions which Europeans have been taking as a
matter of course, and not of taste, for Centu-
ries. This article is not intended strictly as
temperance lecture, and therefore it
may not be amiss to mention u few
of the American mixed drinks which are
regarded as palatablo by Americans, and
which Europeans have not failed to regard
with favor. First of all the cocktail as an ap-
petzer meets universal appreciation The
various punches made from brandy, whisky,
and wine in the American style, arc or have
been until recently unknown quantities in
Europe, The mint julep, we'll charact orized
by most distinguished American statesman,
as "the nectar of the NEUROLOGICAL goat,"
takes all Europeans by surprise and at once
captures them, The American pouesse
cafe, with its many mixtures and varied
colors, is quite liked by the continental
lords used to good drinks, and the
many drinks made by combinations of we'll
known mineral waters with pure fruit syrup,
with or without alcoholic mixtures, is both Il
surprise and pleasure to those who cross the
ocean to investigate the habits of American
barbarians, We own that we ought not spe-
cially to pride ourselves on beating tho older
civilizations on drinks, but as we arc now in
the habit Of beating them on everything else

dress calls were made for Lincoln and Sheridan,
who acknowledged the compliment mercy by
bowling.
l was very much disappointed in the Presidents
personal appearance. He is rather a handsome
man. but has none of that great beauty that the
newspapers are continually giving him. He has
"style" about him, a fine presence, and q ringing
voice. He is nothing of the dude. His dress was
hultess aud in every respect suitable to gentle1
man OF his age and rank. His face is somewha,

thing besides good dinners. Louisville is wildly,
