Poisonous Liquors.

New York Liquor SiaaulMtarer We make champagne which you bny for the genuine article. It coats to manufacture (4 a basket. We sell it for $lO to dealers. We make the stuff and put it into our own bottles; make a facsimile label of the genuine article; Spanish corks and French straw and basket to pack them in. When we want to imitate a genuine imported wine we buy a barrel of it. Our cooper takes tho barrel as a pattern and makes one by it. They are new and bright. We put them through a steaming process, and they come out old and musty and worn, just like the genuine importations. Thirtytwo deadly poisons are used in the man ufacture of wine. Not one gallon in fifty sold here ever saw France. Wo send thousands of gallons of whisky to France every year to have them come back something else. Of all the poisonous liquors in the world Bourbon whisky is the deadliest. Strychnine is only one of the poisons in it. A certain oit is used in its manufacture eight drops of which will kill a cat in eight minutes, and a dog in nine minutes. The moat temperate men in New York are the wholesale dealers. They dare not drink the stuff they selL The Lowell manufacturers of textile goods say that their mills, without exception. are running to their highest capacity, and that they have little or no manufactured goods on hand. They make the strange statement that men are plentier than girls.
