What is Agaric? | For months, past. the public bave pazzled over this question, anl to-day the people are as ig norant of what the liquid is as they were several months ago. A great many people believe it is the namo of a man whe rans a wine room soms whers in the city. What is Agarie? That’s the question. It is not whiskey, it is not brandy, neither is it a fermented liquor, and yet it is sold and bought for liquor and is relished by a'l topers al most 2s mach asliquor. Whetb er it is intoxicating or not, itisa popular beverage, so a Capital re porter male some investigations conesrning the liguid. THE SUBZCT HANDLED SCIENTIFIC ALLY. Tisst, the reporter made a dip into sciene2 and arese with the following formula: Thyma, Marjoram, S:lgt‘, Lifeeverlasting, Corlander ssed. These are aliowed to ferment, but no aleohol or other spirits are added. When taken in proper doses, and not “swillad down” to make draunk come, agavie is exhileratiny and stimulating, bat not intoxiea ting. When taken in largs doses it produces 1 A DULL, SLEEPY SENSATION, ‘ And tho effates are not unlike { those of an sesthetic, particularly | ehiloroform. ‘ As the benumbed senses grad | nally surrender to the effects of i the drug, a sweet feeling steals | through the soul of the victim and ‘ he lies down with bright anticipa l tions foating through his clondad | brain and his soal is as happy as i ha who expects to enter the realms of paradisa. The.Agarie expert, who was in terviewed by the Capital reporter, said: “I have been drank--I mean sick on agarie--gaite a nuambor of t'mes. When you have taken }lbf\’ll'l your last load, and your stomach adopts a protective plat- Tform, and sit down and clos? your | eyes-—O, blissful moment, O, I sweet Blysium—and you are dead lasleap in a pair of twin sec louds. Youare liable to remain dead from four to ten hours, it de pends upon yeur constitution.

There are some 'men who, by their manuers and livas, &'ve the stapidest of their fellow-baings a glimapeo of the Atmmifivty - himsclf. They aro called gentlawmen. The title has been misused a great deal, but it never had bnt one meaning. It moeans a man who has the inatinet and practice of geantility. The mere worl man means all that is manly-—strength, earnestness, honesty, fortitude; when to all this you adl gentility you gat all that humaaity ean ear ry without tumbling upward and disappearing witlin ths gates of heaven. Clothes do not make the gantle man, alihough some silly womn and fools seam to think so. A “swell” is not a gentleman, for his manners are only skin deep, and he has barely enough for use among his owa acguaiun tances; whereas the ganuins arti cle is a gentleman at hoart, and consequently cannot help being a gantleman to everybody. No nnfortunate accidsnt of birth or fortune ean keop a true gentle man {rom living according to his character, Sometimes he i 3 a millionaire, and is named in the newspapers as giving great parties and receptions, and occupying a box at the opara; butb such streaks of luek do not prevent his spaak iny civiliy to his smployess, and riising his hat to his old eolored narse if he chances to meet hor in tha street, Sometimes he is so peor that he has to be a policeman or drive a | strect car, or tramp about as a l book-canvasser, or as agent for ‘t'xe sale of laundry soap, bat in {any case ho tells the trath, robs ino one and is civil to everybody. E Often he is a merchant, somoa {timas has not enough Fbrains and l vitality to be more than a common |laborer, but no amounnt of hard work, poor pay and bad company ean keep him from acting his true ‘nature to every ons with whom he | eomes in contact. > never putson airs, vet every |b)ly who knows him admits his | superiority. ‘ It is plain to all that heis bet ter than those abyut him, yet no | one is ever jealous of him. ’ Hs never “lays dowa the law,” { or talks about his likes or dislikes, ' yeb men who are telling coarse !storles always stop when he ap ! proaches. ' Hois always a wor:hiper of f woman, but none of his aequain gmnces ever venture to introduce | bhim to women who are not all “ they should ba. Oa tha other ' band, women with whom other | mon try in vain to becomd ac | quainted will take pains to be in | troduced to a true gentleman. He may never send a laly a ‘ bouguet or a box of eapdy, never | pay her a compliment, and yet she é likes hima better than the whole | flock of well-dressed batterflies | that flicker around her. 3 may have to work so hard or dress so poor that is name is nover seen in the newspaper lists of men who attended Muvs, So-and 80’s reception, or were present at Miss Blank's wedding, but Miss Dlank and Mrs. So-and-so would have willingly missal a dozen or dinary fellows for the pleasare of seeing him. His acquaintan s seldom think of him when they ars looking for soma one to ask to “oo on a lark,” but when there is a funeral in the family, or sgome other trouble, he is the man that is always applied to for eounsel and help. I have seen a rich gentleman stop his carriage, while riding for pleasure, to take a poor ~ washor. woman who was carrying a bundle groater than her strangth, [ have soen a poor gentlaman riding home in a howse ear, with a ban dle of tools in one hand and a bandle of seraps of wood in the other, give a seat to a lady, while a lot of well-dressed fellows buried their fuces in the evening paper Neithor tha rich gentleman or the poor goutleman got any pay for thoir-eourtosy,nor-did they ox pect any, but it is a comfort to re member that Gad has a keen eye sight and a long memory. Indead, it is the lack of the feel ing that one ought to have some recompense for his grod deeds that distinguishes the gentleman from the common poople. The man who says, “It's no good to do kind things, bacause nobody ever gets any thanks for it,” is not a gentleman and never will ba, un less he gots rid of his selfish no tions. The g=ntleman nevar is anxious to have paople know who or what he is; withoit baing conceited he knows thatcharacter anl eondact will introduce him in time, and do tho Dusiness more thoroughly than any amouant of talk can do. Ha never talks aboat himself or his belongings, and what they cost him; by this sign you may always distingnish him from the swell and the pretender. Often he balongs to the church, but if he lival a ihousand years, and you woere to mact him every day, you couldn’t fiad out from his conversation what his donomi nation is, for to him a man’s be liefs —his own included-—amoant to very little when compared with his life. The true lady differs from the gentleman only as sister from brother, and all that is said above applies as well to her. Shabhy clothes, poor fare, hard work, and a bouse with bare walls someatimes combine to let a woman down, but they never change tha character of that blessed creature to whom wo allade, when in varnest we say “lady;” and should it ever be our fortune to meet her and the gen tleman in the better world which we all hops 1n some way to enter, we will probably find them look ing and acting just as they do on earth, for hera they are every body’s good angels.

On the night of the 23th, shortly after 12 o'clock, as the sentinel was walking his lonely beat, his attention was attracted to the front parracks by a slight sound resembling the rustling of lewes by a gentle wind. Instant ly between the two large forty-six pound siege guns there appearsd a soldier dressed in Confoderate uniform and mounted on a large gray horse. His sword was drawn, his horse tightly leizned up and two white plumes floated grace fully above Lis hat. Tho sentinel, at first almost paralyzed with ter rar, had gazed upon the objeet but an instant, when it started through the sallyport ints the corurtyard at a rourd trot, crossing the sentinel’s beat and making no andible sound, although he was passing over a solid brick pave ment. - The santinel challengad, with a ‘rloud voice, “Who goes there?” ‘The rider did not heed him, but passed on at the rane pace until arriving at an abrupt, danzerons anl impassable procipice at the raar of the barracks ha vanished.
