KENNARD, at the desire of the Tory
party, has decided to abandon for the pres
ent session his motion offered in the British
House of Commons in relation to the dis
position of the surplus of the Alabama
award. 1t was thought the question could
be raised more conveniently at the expira-
tion of the fishery treaty in 1884.
THE Suez Canal Company of Paris
have announced that they propose to COM
mence the cutting of the new parallel canal
across the Isthmus forthwith, and have ap-
piled to the English Government for their
support in obtaining the necessary conces-
sion of land from the Khedive.

ADvIcEs from Madagascar on the
oath state that detachment of French had
landed and carried several military posts
erected by Hoveson on Sakalava territory
in defiance of French rights. The dis
patches also state that Admiral Pierre had
occupied the custom house at Majunga,
thus securing the road and water way to
Fenanrivo, the capital Of the Island.

portion of the business part of Uxbridge,

TEE Car was crowned at Moscow
on the 9th ult- without the slightest inter
ruption. The streets were thronged with
people from all parts of the empire. Spec
ial services were held in all the churches
and the city was brilliantly Illuminated at
night.
A DISPATCH was received at Ell Paso,
Texas, on the 9th ult. stating that General
Crook had engaged a strong force of In
dians, supposed to be composed of in and
Locas' bands, together with a stray band
of renegade hostiles, on the Sonora slope of
the Sierras, in the neighborhood of Casa
James, Mexico. There is uncertainty as to
the date when the battle took place.
The mountain spurs at the points irdi-
Gated are the favorite resort of the Apaches,
and are peculiarly inaccessible, which ac-
counts for the entrenched position of the
hostiles and the confidence which they ex-
hibited, holding their ground until thirty
of their number had fallen, when they
broke and fed, closely followed by the vic
torious American troops. They are sup
posed to have made their way towards
Carcay, in the Casa de Janos, on the Chi
huahua slope of the mountains, where they
will probably make a last stand. The
operations around Casa de Janos will be
extremely difficult, as the country to be
traversed is literally without roads.

How Liquors are Adulterated.

A fresh barrel of raw whisky is taken
In hand by the expert, who converts it
in few hours into old rye or bourbon
by q judicious admixture of oak shaw
ings, burned sugar and glycerine.
Sometimes he takes away the crude
taste by passing an electric curr mt
through it. Much of the highest-priced
whisky sold in the best places is made
in this artistic fashion. Bourbon is
generally supposed to contain more
fusil oil than rye, but this is not neces-
sarilY Il e case.
Brandy is made by the distillation of
fermented grapes-sometimes from tho
Juice alone, and sometimes from the
skins, seeds and juice together. When
made from the juice alone it is nearly
celorless, has very agreeable odor,
and slightly acid, aromatic taste. 1t
contains from thirty-five TO fifty per
cent of alcohol. There is probably no
liquor so much initiated and adulterated
as brandy. The commonest method of
initiating it is by adding to plain grain
whisky certain proportions of various
ethers, which are sold in mixture as
"brandy essence" burned sugar, spices,
tannic acid and acetic acid. Nine-tenths
of the brandy that is drank never saw a
grape-skin. Gin is made by distilling
alcohol with juniper berries, its distinct
i've taste and odor being due to the
presence of q small amount of oil of
Juniper. The amount of alcohol varies
from thirty to forty per cent, the resi-
due being water with less than one per
cent. of the juniper oil. The gin COM
monty sold as the real article is, how
ever, made by simply adding a small
quantity of this oil, or more frequently
oil of turpentine, to common whisky,
together with sufficient water to reduce
the strength of the spirit to about thirty
per cent. of alcohol. None but the
most expensive brands of gin are made
in any other way. Different brands
contain slight additions which give them
their peculiar flavor.
The best rum is made by the distilla-
ton of fermented molasses. Often pine
apples and other fruits are sliced and
thrown into the still to give flavor. The
molasses used consists of the washings
and refuse from the sugar houses. 1t
contains thirty to thirty-five per cent
of alcohol, and is not much adulterated
except with certain iavoring ethers,
designed to initiate "real Jamaica" or
other brands. The main constituent of
absinthe is oil of wormwood. 1t is
made by the distillation of alcohol with
water, absinthium (wormwood), and
various spices, such as fennel, anise
and coriander. The resulting liquor is
diluted more or less, the various brands
differing greatly in the amounts of wa
ter and other substance present in
each. 1t is most frequently made by
the simple mixture of oil of wormwood
with alcohol and water, various essen
tial oils being added to give pungency.
Distilled absinthe well prepared from
fresh materials should be of bright
green color. Its effects are well known
to be of the most dangerous character.

4 Severe Surgical Operation. It Is Endur-

Edward Myers, of Rondout, n. Y.

From the Correspondence Of the Kingston, n. Y.
Freeman.
The case OF Mrs. Edward Myers, OF Ron
dout, New York, furnishes an apt illustration
of woman's power of endurance. This lady
had been treated for months in the usual way
for Erysipelas OF the hand, without benefit.
Not until her hand had become q mass Of
purified flesh did she turn to DR.. Kennedy,
proprietor of the Favorite Remedy, for help.
He at once informed her that It was impos-
sible to save the hand-it must be amputated.
She received this terrible intelligence quiet
ly, declined to take ether, stipulating merely
to hold her husbands hand during the oper-
alton, and underwent the painful process
without moving muscle or uttering groan.
DR.. Kennedy then gave Favorite Remedy
freely to cleanse the blood and prevent the
return of the disease, and Mrs. Myers now
lives and rejoices in her great deliverance.

GOVERNOR PATTIsoN, on the 25th ult.,
vetoed the bill passed by the Pennsylvania
State Legislature giving pensions to the sur
viving veterans of the Mexican war, and to
the widows of soldiers and sailors Of that
war. The Governor called attention to the
fact that similar bills passed in 1873 and
1881 were vetoed by his predecessors, and
that the obstacles to executive approval
contained in those bills had not been re-
moved by the present one. The House sus-
tanned the veto.

the Grand Jury of Montgomery, Ala, had

nine against Samuel ID. Oliver, Marshal
Strobach's chief deputy, and four against

one for perjury against Marshal Strobach,
are for rendering false, fictitious and
fraudulent accounts.

the first rebate claims of manufacturers of
tobacco under the new law. The first col

Woman seems to be stepping into many
OF the offices which have hitherto been ex-
clusivcly filed by man. Especially is this
true of young women The restaurants
which formerly employed male walters,
now prefer female. The Cleveland Tele-
phone Exchange started out with all male
operators, then tried half male and half
female, and has now settled down on all
female as altogether the most satisfactory
arrangement. Tho girls are more gentle,
