"WHEN FOUND, MAKE A ' NOTE OF." THE above was one of the favourite expressions of the renowned Captain Cuttle, immortalised by Dickens in his "jUomboy and Son," and, like the sayings of Confucius, Plato, Socrates, and other great men who were looked up to as oracles in their day and generation, on account of their vast learning and almost bound,less wisdom, it has much to recommend it. When yoa find an hotel that dispenses the delicious '" House of Commons" Whisky—the same as is supplied to the patrician members of that ancient and honourable institution, the House of Commons—" make a note of it," and, having sampled this pure spirit, recommend it to your friends. Make a note of this fact also, that only those hosts who, regardless of expense, cater for the benefit of the health of their customers, and who are not so everlastingly studying their purses, stock this whisky In preference to a " cheap" brand, which does more to injure the health and undermine the constitution than anything else besides ; and you can be pretty sure that the hotels presided over by such hosts are of tho highest character, and will be replete with all that contributes to a traveller's comfort and enjoyment. We have not written a word of Messrs James Buchanan and Co.'s "House of Commons" Whisky that we are not prepared to substantiate by documentary evidence of the most l unimpeachable character, and if any " honest doubter" requires further proof that this whisky deserves all that is claimed for it, let him just step inside any respectable and wellappointed hotel and call for it, or order it from any wine and spirit merchant or wholesale grocer.
