written long after the living interest in the facts he
records shall have passed away
These Periodicals ably represent the three great

'on Science, Literature, Morality and Religion, they
. stand, as they ever have stood, unrivalled in the
world of letters, being considered indispensable to
the scholar and the professional man, while to the intelligent reader of every class they furmish a more

possibly obtained from any other source.

shake well. The liqvors thus made will have a fine
natural aroma, a full, rich, oily taste; a beautiful
traneparent color and a fine bead. Lacour’s oils
exert three distinct properties in converting common
whisky to brandy, gin, &c. The first property combines with and subsides in the form of fioculent particles the whole of the grain oil, (Amylic Alcohol.)—
The whisky is thus deprived of that peculiar irritating and burning taste, and becomes a neutral spirit ;
. the second property consists in an oily mucillaginous
taste imparted to the liquor which renders it thellow,
and imparts an appearance of great age ; the third
property is exhibited in the rich vinous nutty odor
that is imparted to the liquor, which renders distinction from the genuine brands impossible.
These oils are put up in quart flasks; each flask
contains sufficient oil for making three hundred gallons of liquor. Full and comprehensive directions
accompany the bottles. Price $2 per bottle.
For sale at the corner of St. Charles and Poydars

terest of the State. Itis for the present published
Monthly, butit is the intention of the Publishers soon
to commence its issue Semi-monthly, to be published on the First and Fifteenth of each noone’
season to be forwarded to the Atlantic States by ea “
Mail Steamer, at Three Dellars per Annum fame ded
ae mae that may be desired. ? hee

number will contain in addition to our Sao og
lar Mining Summary, a digest of California hewn tiie
the previous two weeks and up to the sailing of ihe
Steamer. Thus affording one of the most complete
and valuable Steamer issues which can be obtained
or the perusal of friends at the East. ?
It is the aim of the Publisher of the ‘Mining Journal’’ to make a useful and instructive Paper. To this
end care will be taken to exclude from its columns
everything which can possibly be objecticnable to
the most fastidious. The trashy productions which
form so large a portion of most of the miscellaneous
papers of the day, and which are so detrimental te
public taste and weal, will be carefully avoided, and
nothing will appear in our columns except that which
tends to advance the intellectual or moral improvement of the reader. Subscriptions solicited.

official organ of the Association, or otherwise as mav
be deemed proper; also to encourage and aid the free
interchange of sentimnents and friendly intercour
among quartz miners generally. ae nee
