EXTRACT FROM A LETTER JUST RECEIVED FROM THE GRAND MASTER OF THE GRAND LODGE CF TENNESSEE, U.S.A., NOVEMBER 30, 1891. JUST au tho gvo of my departure for Liverpool, en route to New York, I resolved your present of 3 bottles of Buchanan’s House of Commons Whisky. So pressed were we by the arrangements necessary to our voyage that I was not permitted to open the package at that time, nor did I open it until I reached my home, when the presence of a few of my intimates at ray house refreshed my memory. I had one of the corks drawn, when—o, yo gods ! give me eloquence—we tasted the nectar, not degraded by water or sugar, but in its native nakedness. My dear sir, language fails me to describe the smiles, the smacks, the upturnlngs of eyes, the sniffing, the wise examinations through the p.-lluoid glass that enveloped it. To be sure you have such whisky, b\Uk there is not a drop of the like this side of too Pond; hence the other bottle is hid away in the darkest corner of my cellar, and it will be a more than friend that will drag it item its deep concealment. Aye, such a whisky, what cannot it perform ? Believe me, It would " Make the toward fight, Give the despairing soul new hopes, Drive away the darkest sorrow, Surely; wretches hawa by bumpers of it been taught A flow of words, a loftiness of thought. On the occasion of Its trial in my library, it was the mirth that exalted the feast. , Let me thank you, my dear sir, for the pleasure it gave, and also for that kindness of heart which prompted you to thus lay under obligations of gratitude the foreigner you saw for the first, but 1 sincerely hope not for the last, iftne.
