THE FIRST MINT JULEP.

incidentally 10 a controversy as TO
where the first mint julep was mixed in
Kentucky, the claim is made that that
State was the birthplace of the seduc-
tive drink. The claim is simply prepos-
ferrous. Long before Kentucky was ever
heard or or even thought Of, an English
traveller in the Colony Of Virginia sung
the praises of a Virginia drink haVored
with tender mint Moreover, ii Is
matter Of history that the first Ken
tuckian who ever drank grass mint In
his whiskey was taught the trick by
Virginian, at whose house he stopped over
night And the chronicler Of this par
tcular incident further AYERS that the
Nentuckian became so enamored OF the
decoction that he forthwith started
mint farm and a distillery, and soon
killed himself in an effort TO see how
many juleps he could get outside Of every
twenty-four hours Indeed, they 90 say
that TO this day corroborative evidence
Of the truth of this statement can be
found i'm the crest Of mis- descendants,
which is a sprig of Virginia mint ram
pant, entwned with a snake, which has
a straw in its mouth.
But there is also ornithico-GtymolOgioa
support Of Virginia's claim in the prem

several Of the languages other than the
English. such as the French. the Italian,

sian. all the forms are manifestly corrup-
lions of the natural note of the Virginia
mocking-bird. The primary definition Of

languages. is sweet" and the natural
note of the mocking-bird is the essence
Of phonetic sweetness.
Again. and as a clincher OF Nirginia's
rights. we would say that in the coun-
ties in Underwater Virginia where mint
forests most do thrive it is san con-
sidered little less than criminal to rise
from ones nightly repose until the mock

we repeat that the Kentucky claim is

is an unblushng exhibition Of mOnu
mental check" Since the war we have
patiently submitted to many attempts
to rob Virginia Of just and original title

States have borrowed from her, but we
call a halt at the mint julep, even at the
risk Of arousing the ire of the colonies

The Devlin Altgeld Carter Harrison
rumpus grows out of the last mayoralty
contest in Chicago.
Harrison was the nominee of our party.
Altgeld ran as an Independent candidate.
Among his supporters was Mr.. Devlin
an employee Of the National Democratic
Committee, whose work has been to fur
nish suitable campaign matter to the
country press, but who, between sea-
sons" aided and abetted Altgeld in his
contest for the mayoralty.
1t follows that Harrison is very hostile
to Devln. and he demands that Devlin
shall be disciplined by the National Com
mittec
Altgeld is not a member of the commit
tee, but has proxy to represent the
Whether Altgeld will use the proxy or
not we are yet TO be advised he has ex-
pressed reluctance to breaking into the
committee-room in that way.
As TO what the National Committee
will do about Devlin we do not know at
this writing. Upon the face of the ques-
ton it would appear that Garter Harri-
son is in the right, but it may be that
we are not in possession of all the facts.
OF one thing we are certain-we cannot
carry Illinois without the solid support
of the Democracy of Chicago, and soon
er or later, concessions may have TO be
made to effect that end.
