INTERESTING TO TRAVELERS.
The man who leaves his home, be it.
high or bo it low, be ho rioh or bo ho poorj
always finds cause to complain ef the
change. We read In books of English
Inns, of roaring fires in old-fashioned fire
places, of tall candlesticks, bustling wait
ers and tidy landladies; but wo often have
, felt that those descriptions were the fruits
of the imagination of the author. Most of
OUr hotels, or taverns , or inns,
(dense to call them, in Amorioa,
Hble places to live in. Of course,
only speak of America, not having,
yet, 14 expanded our body or enlarged
mind " by foreign travel.
We are led into this train of thought by
finding on our table a neat littlo note,

THE JUICES OF PLANTS.
The negro of Louisiana delights to suck
tho juice of tbe " Sugar Canegreeu ''-—the
Mexican peon imbibes the fermented juioe
of the Cactus or Maguey —tho yankee
revels in tho luxury of his sugar camp;
but, we wish to coniine
milk juices of plauts. All of our reader-,
are familiar with the Cactus, in its uioui
mauifold shapes—it graces the conserva
tory of the wealthy and adorns the cottage
of the poor. This plant is ouo of a nume
rous tribe of milk-bearing plants which,
when wounded, exude a white, milky juice!
We select this as a familiar Kpeoiuieo. It
our intoutiou, however, to speak in this
tide of one species of the milk bearin*'
plants, viz :—the Cacutchon*', which yield«
the gum elastic. This tree is found iu
Brasil and Guiana—probably in Central
America. India Rubber, as their hard
ened juice is familiarly called, derives its
name from ;ta geographical looation and
the early use of the article for erasing pen
cil marks. In boyhood's day
ber that this substance, now so familiar to
oil and so general in its applications
only used by the artist or
erase a mark on paper; then
ber the first gum shoes —ugly, uncouth,
ill-shaped ebneerns, which have now
yielded to tbe elegant and oomfortable
sandal and
and flesh by India Rubber Springs under
our railroad cars ; the huge, stroug, swift
locomotive is buoyed up by it ; tbe baby is
swung to sleep in its .jumper on this omni
present bouncers the boy has bis bat,balls
the girl, her pu/lur bull / the baby, his rat
tle ; we cut our teeth on an India Rubber
ring, and wo comb our beads with India
Rubber combs, of which we have endless
varieties. The Machinist and the Factory
man press it into their service ; it ia used
flat and it is used round. Surgical in*
sinmwmt* are made of it;* indeed, what is

schoolboy to

not made of it 1 If wo commended its use
by making protections for our feet, we
lire about to adapt it now«a-days to the
important use of sheltering onr heads.
Caoutchouc is almost indestructible. It
is not affected by the atmosphere. Oxy

QUACKERY.
We have neither time nor inclination to
outer into a disquisition on the meaning of
the term which stands at tbe head of this
article. Wo have not space to devote to
a history of this hydra-headed monster,
which has withstood the Herculean efforts
of suieuce and of satire. We desire, at the
present moment, merely to show the in
consistency of those who advocate and en
eourugo the nefarious Quack Medicines,
oonnuonly called Patent Medicines.
«If a man offers the community any sort
of spirituous liquors at three or six cents a
glass, it is tbe fashion of the day to call
him a rum seller , and to pour upon his
head all sorts of curses and abuses. We
are not prepared to say that we will turn
rum seller,"and retail "double distilled
damnation," as John Barleycorn " is eu
phoniously styled by teetotalers ; but we do
say that wc would as soon retail grog, un
der its own name, and believe rum selling
to be as honorable as the pressing of Bitters
upon tbe community.
(Tür newspapers
filled with an
nouncements of Bitter;, which unblush
ingly claim for the respective articles
whose merits they set forth, tho virtues of
celestial drinks. The proprietors of the
** Bitters " manifest either their own igno
rance or thei r contempt for that of tho
community, by naming their Nostrums
Oxygenated Bitters . Any child, who
has studied the simplest elementary chem
istry, ought to know that this is a hum
bug.
trange to say, the most rampant tem
perance men, aud those preachers who
have been most violent in their denuncia
tions of rum sellers and rum drinkers,
most frequently found as endorsers of Pa
tent " Bitter«." It is a crime to sell good,
genuine Brandy, or first-rate Whiskey, or
to take a glass of Old Jamaica,
sip ot tart Cider; but it is no crime to in
duce your neighbor to swallow pints of
Alcohol , made bitter with a little Quaasia
or Gentian The old toper takes his " bit
ters " or bis 44 tod " j there is no humbug
about the matter ; he wants stimulant and
he takes it Your very temperate man—
your sleek individual, who screams out—
" Liquid Poison -*touch not, taste not,
handle not 1 " is the foremost in the rank
of venders or endorsers of some alcoholic
stimulant, under the name of Bitters.—
Wo like things oalled by their right names;
say, therefore, that the temperanoe
man who indulges in " Bitters," is only
taking his cock-tail under tho name of
Medicine; aud the Maine Law man who
certifies to the efficacy of Alcoholic Mix
tures, only betrays bis ignorance and in
consistency. His ignorance, inasmuch as
he don't know what good drink is ; his in
consistency, in condemning one form and
reoommending another form of alooholio
beverage.
B 11
even a
If you want a drink, use the very best
Bt audy, or Whiskey, or Malt Liquor. Do
not cheat your stomach by buying
dollar Brandy or fifty-cent Whiskey! If
you want a drink, be "honest aboutit—
take a drink ] don't take Bitters.
