Ten thousand persons who receive
pensions for services in the civil war
reside in foreign countries. Their
vouchers are paid from the Washing

esting to know why those persons
have expatriated themselves, after
fighting, as it is presumed they did,
for the United States.

mon on our streets. C5rllal1 made from
snakeroot and aIise seed were sold large
ly, often peidled about tho streets the
same as lemonade vendors ply their trade
nowadays on the Boston streets.
The doctors Of the cid school were
more liberal in prescribing liquor for
persons in delicate health than at the
present time, owing TO the fact that
there was virtually no objection TO its
use. The cordials Of ami seed. ETC.,
were mostly gotten up at VI, dford, Salem
and Lynn.
There was another decoct,tn known as
''black strap, which was ii Ie Of New
England rum and molasscs, mixed in
proportion 20 suit the taste ol the buyer.
This was, Of course, conEdera cheaper
than the straight article, nd conse-
quently was the fGvorite drink Of those
who could not afford anything better.
Another drink was composed ol .um and
sugar, then known as "a hora," and
rum dashed with hot water and called
'toddy,h often drunk By the vel 70 do
gentlemen on cold winter evenings along
with the eating Of apples, which was a
favorite custom here2bouts.
4 drink composed Of rum and some
thing else was called 'grog." IL origin
ally meant rum diluted with water, but
was more often with cordial or some
thing Of that nature. The name of
''gros' was derived in a singular way.
Il Is said that once Admiral Vernon, in
the British navy, and who was noted for
his generous nature, was won't TO deal
out an allowance Of this drink TO his
sailors. He wore what was called a
''gTogan' cloak in severe weather, and
after while the men jestingly desig-
mated him as "old grog, thence the name
of the mixture.
Every event Of more than passing no.
tice called forth goodly supply of liquor.
One important occasion was on a day
that somebody's pig was to be killed.
Such an occasion required the services Of
three or four men, who took an after
noon to do the work, while the town took
a hall holiday. Such an important oc-
casion as this would be an utter fizzle
were not large supply Of rum on hand

owner more than the pig was worth to
furnish the drinks Another occasion of
note was election day, when every man
drank for the good luck Of his favorite
candidate, and after the event was over,
again drank on account of success or
hoping for better luck next year.-Bos.
