THE NATION AI. CAPITAL. What General Ranm Had to Say About a Sample of Bitters. National Republican. The death of several men in Quincy, 111., after drinking a bottle of “bitters,” purchased at a drug store as whisky, has reminded au attache of the Internal Revenue Bureau of the following letter written a year or two ago by the then Commissioner, General Green B. Raura, m reply to a letter addressed to him by the quack compounder of a cure-all. “Sir: I am in receipt of a certified formula giving tbe Ingredients and relative proportions used in the preparation of one quart of an article you put up and label ’Black Cohosh Bit- • ets;’ also, by express, of a sample bottle of the preparation. You desire to be informed if * his preparation is subject to any lax other than the stamp iax under schedule A. “I have not Tested the sample, taking it. for granted that it is made in accordance with the formula, you have submitted. Judging of it by such formula I have no hesitation iu saying that the man who would offer it for sale as au alcoholic beverage, would be guilty of a great wrong, to use the. mildest expression I can employ to characterize such a deception upon the public. “I notice tnat you aflix to your name the initials *M. D..’ and on your label you sign your name ‘Dr. .' You must, therefore, be fully aware of the character of the medicinal ingredients which you mingle with whisky to make up this compound, of the single article extract hut vomica, U. S. P., you use a fluid drachm — equal to sixty grains—equal to thirty full does of one of the most active vegetable poisons. It is a general custom with druggists and apothecaries to label such articles as poison, to be administered anil handled with the greatest caro, aud generally only under the advico of the faruily physician. The only further suggestion I have to make is that if you persist in the sale of such a preparation you should put upon the label a proper cautionary notice in order that no on© may mistake the true character of your compound. Yours respectfully, “Green B. Baum, Commissioner.” Senatorial Courtesies. Letter to New Yura Time*. Senator Hill, of Colorado, ooeupies one of the finest houses iu Washington, aud for it, in rental alone, he pays more tuau his salary.

He made his money on the street in San Francisco, undin the Alaska Fur Seal Company. He is a very able mau and an eloquent sneaker. Senator Pendleton has one ot tue loveliest houses here, but its architecture is in the miserable Quet n Anoe style, which must surely go in a few years.
