Practical Eject Of the New
whisky Law.

Whisky in bond in this country may
be made to evade the late act OF Con-
uess by shipping it abroad to be re-
imported, which virtually extends the
time two years Goods merely shipped
to sea and returned gain this much
time. One large firm in New York
sdyertises storage 10 London at very
low rates. 1t is claimed by Power,
Son & Co., rs Broad street, that Lon
don being the chief market for spirits,
and owing to the enormous quantities
of wines and spirits always lying there
in bond, offers larger and better &C
commcdation for storing whisky than
any other port, and affords greatest
security to the owner for the proper
handling Of his property. The rates
Of storage begin at 81 30 per barrel,
and increase at the rate of FIVE cents
per month up to twenty four months,
when it reaches 81 65. Section 25Ol
u. S. Statutes, is as follows: Upon
the transportation of articles once
exported Of the growth, product or
manufacture of the United States,
upon which no internal tax
has been assessed or paid, or upon
which such tax has been paid in and
refunded by allowance or drawback
there shall be levied, collected and
paid out a duty equal to theltax i'm
posed BY the internal revenue laws
upon such articles" The large whisky
men are preparing to ship whisky
abroad in large quantities. Many will
ship to Bermuda for transient or pro-
longed storage. The ten barrels ofold
rye bought by L. Podesta & Co., OF
Front street, the other day, came in
this way. This was part Of $50 barrels
thus shipped to the West Indies and
speedily re-imported. 1t is quite evil
dent that the whisky men will find a
way to take care of themselves, besides
as is we'll known a sea voyage Of any
length improves the quality ofwhisky
Messrs Podesta & Co. are the first to
import spirits to Memphis under thC
new order of things. Their customer
get the benefit, whether Uncle San
does or not.

Departed A Painful Rumor
About HIS Mental Condition.
Special to the Courier. journal,


WASHINGTON, March 2l.-Secretary
Folger is at his residence again having
returned this morning. 1t is said that
he is improved in health, but that he
has bad eye. BY the remark that
he has a bad eye" it is net 10 be
understood that he is bad man. On
the contrary, be is rather q good man.
and the bad eye comes from neuraleia.
The whole town Is asking why Folger
clothed his movements in such mys>
terry. Of course his sudden departure
and his sudden return, without
informing his friends or the lead.
ing officials of his department.
OF his proposed movements
have given rise to some curious specu.
lations. One rumors says that for
some time past Mr.. Folger has shown
some remarkable mental peculiaritjes,
and at times these peculiarities have
suggested the idea that be was not
altogether right mentally. 1t is Ger.
tain that his defeat in New York last
November had very depressing effect
upon him, and since then he has
shown less aptitude for business and
less quickness in grasping the affairs
OF his department. His friends aud
those nearest to him. however, scout
the idea that his mind is not as clear
and strong as ever it was.
