A Boston Gentieman's Drinks.


A prominent Boston gentleman Of mill
tary reputation started out the other day to
refresh himself. He laid the foundation by
putting in six whislsies at brother officers.
He took another whisky for ballast on his
way to the Revere House, where he ate big
lunch and drank bottle Of Scotch ale.
Then he went to friends house out Of
town, drank four glasses Of Madeira
twenty-five years old, and put in
three brandies to introduce the differ
ent ingredients to one another. Next he
ate two chicken patties, cold slaw, pickles,
bread, and quarter Of large pumpkin
pie, washing 1t down with three tumblers
of claret. He sealed his efforts with two
brandy slugs, and then said that he didn't
feel very well. We have submitted this
experience to q Boston expert, who insists
that the line pursued was scientific aud
discreet, and should have been attended
with the happiest results. He is little
mortified that his distinguished fellow citi-
zen should not have felt well after 1t.

COO. Between 100000 and 100000 WOULD
be realized altogether, and handsome moIu-

improved by the French commander
Tourville. and by Admiral Balchen.
Raw silk is said to have been first made
