QUEER ADVICE.
An cid phYsfcamm says Drink Your
Whfskey straight.

To THE EDITOR: In several OF your re-
cent issues, have observed the articles
OF q whiskey concern in Baltimore. Nd,
which. while written from an interested
motive. contain some very sensible state
ments. especially their remarks about So
called bitfers cough syrups, cod liver oil,
etc. Now, while do not agree with them
in some of their claims. still, ast the three
mixtures above mentioned. no truer ords
could have been spoken. Every day in
my practice come across people whose
mRladies are traceRble direct to these nox-
ious compounds. Take, for instance, the
widely advertised ''bitters" of to-day.
In nine cases out of ten. they consist of 30
per cent. (the amount the government al
lows of what Is called commercial alco-
hol," that Is. an alcohol OF the vilest and
most poisonous grade. The remaining In
gradients consist of yar:ons foreign sub
stances as fiavoring extracts. These decoc-
tions are consumed principally by the con-
sumptive. the debilitated. the convalescent
and others of weak stomachs. Now, while
alcohol, especially In the form of whis-
KEY, Is the best known stinulant, and
is prescribed daily by the profession
everywhere. and while whiskey and
glycerine Is the best thing for coughs,
can't conceive why people will insist
upon taking this alcohol In the form or q
iecoction or nostrum. 1t would be far
better If they would take ii straight" as
in that form. as the articles state. 1t passes
into the DiO0d vessels difecr, Without ILL
gestive effort on the part OF the stomach,
and affords more nutriment than any
other known substance. III the concern in
Baltimore have discovered means of dis
tilling an article of the kind they claim,
that is, whiskey, absolutely pure and free
from fusel oil (Which very much doubt,
they have solved one OF the greatest scien-
tific problems of the 10Th century, some
thing that has been the source of more in
vestiRation among scientists and chemists
during the last half century than any
other one article known to the pharmaco-
oeia, and the fortunate discoverers will
have In 1t a greater monopoly than the
large quinine operators had few years
ago, which latter monopoly is now gradu-
ally falling, through the great inroads
whiskey is making on it in the cure OF
malarial troubles. OLD PRACTITIONER
Regarding the doubt expressed by the emf
nent doctor as to whether Duffy's pure malt
whiskey is absolutely free from fusel oil, as
claimed by the proprietors. we would say to
our readers that the company submits their
article to analysis by any Intelligent chemist
or physician. and IL has already been analyxed
by the most eminent chemists In tho country,

An Anecdote orRobert Toombs.

In General Longstreet's account of
His March against Pope, in the Cen
tury War Series, in the February num-
Der, occurs the following: General
Toombs. our Georgia iirc-cater, was
given to criticising pretty severely all
the officers of the regular army who had
joined their fortunes with those of the
Confederacv. He was hot-blooded and
impatient, and chafed at the delays of
the commanders i'm their preparations
for battle. His general idea was that
the troops went out TO fight, and he
thought they should be allowed TO 90 at
it at once. An incident that occurred
in the second Manassas campaign will
serve to illustrate his characteristic hot
headedness. As we were preparing to
cross the Rapidan, Stuart sent me word
that he had cut off large cavalry force
and had all the fords guarded except
one. He asked that detail force TO
guard that point of escape. The work
was assigned TO the command under
General ,Toombs, who was absent at the
time. lie had met kindred spirit in
the person of wealthy Virginian named
Morton, whom he had known in Con-
gress, and was out dining with him.
They were both good livcrs and loved to
have their friends with them. In going
back to his command General Toombs
came upon his troops on the road and
inquired what they were doing there.
The explanation was made. Toombs
had had good dinner aud felt indie
pendent. He said he would give the
general to understand that he mast con-
suit him before sending his troops out
to guard ford, and thereupon ordered
them back 10 camp. As the mystiiied
troops marched solemnly back, the mat
ter was reported TO me and / ordered
Toombs under arrest. | allowed him
to ride with his command as we marched
against Pope and expected that he would
make some explanation of his conduct.
He did not do so, and the next heard
Of him he was stopping along the route
making stump speeches to the troops
and referring in anything but compli-
mentary terms to the commander of
his division. sent him back to Cor
donsyille, with instructions to coniine
himself to the limits of that town in
Arrest until further orders. He obeyed
the command and went to Gordonsville.
Just as | was leaving the Rappahan-
mock / received long letter Of apology
from him. and directed him to join his
command. AS we were preparing for
the charge at Manassas, Toombs got
there. He was riding rapidly, with his
hat in his hand and was much enthused.
/ was just sending a courier to his COM
mand with dispatch.
:. Let me carry itr he explained.
with pleasure responded, and
handed him the paper.
HE put spurs to his horse and dashed
of, accompanied by courier. When
he rode up and took command of his
brigade there was wild enthusiasm, and
everything being ready, an cxultant
shout was sent up, and the men sprang
to the charge. never had any more
trouble with Toombs. We were ever
afterwards warm personal friends. :"

The interstate matter has taken such

seemed SO certainly his two days ago.
His programme was 10 10 into the house
early this week with report o, the
conference aud a new BIN aad put the lat
ter through with whoop. This
ne could have done undoubtedly,
no FAR as tho house was concerned
aud then the country, particularly that part
OF II between Rcd river aud the Rio
Grande would have rung with Mr, Roa-
gan and HIS glory Previous 10 Yester-

attach To the branch first pase-
ing the bill, but at tho meeting OF
the conference Saturday, dieoovery was
made which spoils all OF MIR Reagan's
plan. Last session IL WAS the senate
which refused 90 concur 10 tho
house amendment which was substitu-
ton OF the Reagan for the Culom bill.
Then followed ma urally tue request OF
the oouiorocs that the original papora DO
\ passed into the hands OF the senate mom-
Oors Of the conference. Thursday, when
the finishing touches were given to his
bill by the ronierees, the question came up
as TO whether tho house or senate conlereea
were entitled TO make return OF the bill,
ar, Regan was exceedingly anxious
20 take the bin to tho house, but rulos
and presidents were 20 his surprise all
against him. The papers belong
to the senate conlcrees aud must no
to the senate, and MIR. Reagan Il IL
understood will report 20 tho house the
result arrived at by the conference, al
though there Ia some question whether he
can do that without lrregularlty, but the
bill goes TO tho senate and nothing
can be done except Mr.,
Reagan's report until the senate
comes 90 some conclusion on the confer
enco report. Mr.. Cullom will probably
make his report with the new bill to-
morrow and win AJAX the setting OF a day
