OLD CLUBS OF LIVERPOOL.
One Of Their Chief Features Is the
Excellence of Their Punch
and Ale.

The oft-Quoted Derrick, master Of
the ceremonies at Bath, his letters to
the earl of Cook Q760), acknowledges
with gratitude the hospitality and
friendliness of the merchants Of Liver
pool to strangers, says the Liverpool
Post. He dwells with gusto on the
excellence Of the rum, the punch and
the ale He was made free of the as
sembly for dancing and card playing.
an assembly regulated by a lady
styled the queen, who rules with abso-
lutte power" 1t is also tolerably GER
tain that he was a welcome guest at
many of the clubs, which the mer-
chants of the day established for the
purpose Of combining business with
pleasure.
Students of local history owe a debt
of gratitude to Brooke for his His
tory Of Liverpool" in the last quarter
of the eighteenth century In this
book we have lengthy account of one
of these convivial clubs, the Unani-
nous society. which was established
in 1853, and was originally at the Cross
Keys, in Dale street, and which num-
bered among its members many of the
Weather inhabitants of the town.
This club appears to have been entire
ly convivial; in the rules we fnd that
fines were levied against swearing and
drinking to excess, and that of any
member do marry, on the first meeting
afterwards he must pay unto the pres
ident the sum Of ten shillings and six
pence" All these fines were expended
for refreshment.
The Society Of Bucks seems to have
been principally conyivial, though to
some extent Of political complexion.
The arms Of the society were a plow
and buck, and its notices were On
dustry produces wealth." Freedom
and innocence" BE merry and WISE"
"Upanimity is the strength of society"
I'VE obey" On June 4, 1859. the
Grand" advertises a celebration of the
birthday Of George, prince Of Wales;
on August 8 he commands a play at
the theater, and on the 9Th of Febru-
airy, 1850, the society generously sub
scribed e70 towards clothing our
brave troops abroad, and the relief of
the widows and orphans Of those who
fell nobly in their ccuntry's and liber-
tvs cause" An account of the Ugly
club, founded In 1744, appeared some
little time ago in the Daily Post. An
other association with q ofno,,io- tttfo
was the Backbone club, which met at
The Shakespeare tavern, In Liver
street.

Wisdom Of the Barber.

1T always makes me tired" said
the old barber, when a man tells me
to quit wasting SO much time rubbing
in the lather and hurry along with his
shave. If he only knew it, he is lay
ing a sure foundation for a chapped
and sore face. The reason for using
soap in shaving is to remove the
grease always close to the skin, and
on the surface Of the beard. This can
not be done without rubbing it well in.
Many persons who shave themselves
do not understand this, and wonder
why they have sore faces. They
blame the bay rum, and change OF to
witch hazel or something else. Rub
bling the soap in well makes%the beard
soft and pliable. It also lessons the
chances Of the razor slipping. Al
ways rub the lather well in with the
fingers; never with the brush. What
must one think of a man who has not
time enough to let the barber shave
him properly, but who spends ten min.
utes chatting with the girl at the cigar
counter, or with the manicure girl, OF
his way out Of the shop?"
