THE DRINKING GROGGERIES OF NEW YORK. og bony Sasa humorously wre beads assure New Yorkers are a dry—bat seriously so. us that the city provides at it one wetting place for every one hundred whistles. In other words, eight thousand liquid graves are on the constant yawn for eight hundred thousand thirsty bedies. None lacking liquor aro de- barred from the supply. To besure thequality is not quite up to the quantity but the purse as well as the palate must be suited, and the terms are proportioned to the tickle. Whatever the drink may be the fuddle must be in it. Tastes, however unaccounted for, must not be rreled with, and, where people prefer tinted turpen- tine to some less lively stimulant, their cra- Yings must be s¢i//ed. The man who tightens bimself with sle, and he who eases off on cam- phene, must each be humored: while the man who goes only “aif-and-‘alf-seas-over is entitled wo equal consideration. All are admitted to to the bar, and it is important that none shall be nonsuited. Thus to /iguidate all claims, and en-gin-cor for all tastes, is seldom ux fait eccompli. In isolated instances, such as Cob- blers and Juleps, the attempt results in a swc- cess. Thirsty, as well as drowning men, have been kuown to cateh at straws. But prideand peverty, pocket and paunch, are all to be ca- tered for, and at the same counter. Half way measures will not go down; there must be just much liquor, with just as big a name to it, ed out for three cents at the + Hotel de igen” a3 is dropped out for a dime at‘ The The pat-ron of the “Pewter Mug” foels every whit ax worthy of good treatment asthe swell who smédeingly looks in his glass at ** The Grapes.” Upen philosophical grounda, then, those who regard the profits rather than the law have studied to intertwine, in one attractive ‘Gar- land.”’ +The Myrtle,’ “The Prairie Flower,” ** “The Grapevine” and ” with plenty of «-Dew-d: if Many is “The Spot’ beside ‘The Bank,” +The Store,”’ “The Office,” ‘The Parlor” and “The Homestead," where, asin an -‘Arbor™ or a «-Hermitage,” or, as though within the “Shades” of --The Alhambra” iteelf, one can quaif his fill of fire-water such as the ‘-Arctie’’ and ‘The Adriatic’? never saw nor ‘The Gol- den Swan” ever swam in.

They seldom fail to strike a sympathetic chord and move one’s bowels of compassion.

Let me, in a separate sentence, make mention of ‘The Boston House,” to many, doubtless, redolent of delightful associations, and dispensing to all alike what ought to he the best New England Rum. I may, in closing, refer to the ‘Hell Gate House” as being most appropriately named, whether re- gard be had to its antecedents, its surround- Ings, or its proclivities. Of it, as of all “sich like” haunts, may be intimated, in Virgil's very handy Latin: ** Paciliis descensus Avern!; Sed revocare gradum—hic labor, hoc apus est *? —[Cor. Boston Post Nor’ wester. “Sol Kipp’s Naroveox Be —The following eu- rious statement ix in cirenlation, in historical circles, on the authority of a respected English clergyman, who reccived it from Admiral Cos- by’« own lips: “When Admiral Cosby was Commander-in- Chief in the Mediterranean, during the last war, at the time that we were in possession of Corsiea, and when Si i ernor-G duced Bonaparte. then a young man, to the Governor and the Admiral, as a friend of his who would be glad to be employed in the ser- viee of England; but these wise men, not having Lavater’s skill in physiognomy, rejected the preposal, which obliged Bonaparte to offer his services to the French, and this was the rise of Bonaparte’s fortune.”’ This ie not the first time, however, that the curious general fact of Bonaparte’s having of- fered himself for service in the British army, when a young man, has been stated on good authority, and there is probably a grain of truth init. There are a great many other statements also touching the youth and family of this re- markable man equally worthy of being inquired into. Especially would it be curious to know how much truth there is in the commonly re- ceived belief of the Greek Maniotes, that the family of Napoleon is none other than that of the Kalomenes (i. e., Bonaparte) which, driven into exile during some old political feud, as- sumed an cyuivalent Italian name, according to the custom of the time, on settling in Corsica. The face of the great conqurer is certainly tireek, of the | geet classic order, and there is uuch in his character and eventful history to lead to the belief that he was, as ciaimed, pure Greek in descent.—N.

It is said that surgeons in the French army have proved by experiment in Africa that soldiers wearing the beard are much less liable to disease of the eye. and itis generally conceded that it isa rotection from disease of the throat and | ‘ i is asserted that in countries where it is t! custom to wear the beard, the eye retains its lustre and brilliancy mach longer. It may be arguel that females do not suffer more than the males from disease of the eyes, &c., but it must be admitted they are much less exposed to the elements. What did the Creator give the lords of creation a beard for? ay not to port barbers.

The waves that dash in foam against its sides shake not the strength of its crystal walls, nor tarnish the sheen of its emerald Sleet and snow, storm and tempest, are its congenial elements. Night falls around, and the stars are reflected tremul- ously from a thousand peaks, and from the green depths of ‘caverns ineasureless toman.”’ The visible portion of an iceberg is only about one-ninth part of the real bulk of the whole mass; so that if one be seen 100 feet high, the lowest point may, perhaps, be away down 800 feet below the waves. Now itis casy to see that such a moving island will often grate across the summit and along the sides of submarine hills; and when the lower part of the berg is roughened over with earth stones, the surface of the rock over which it will be torn up and dispersed, or smooth: id striated, while the boulders imbedded in the ice will be striated in turn.
