WALTON CLUB COCKTAIL. This beverage originated with the North Woods Walton Club,au organization of New York gentlemen, who an nually resort to the great northern wilderness in the titate of New York,known as John Brown's Tract,go lishing, hunting, and the enjoyment of life in the forest. The time selected for their annual excursion is the month of June. In the wilderness they build bark shanties and make their beds of hemlock boughs. Trout of every va riety, weighing from three to iO pounds, are taken in abundance. These romantic gentlemen rely mainly upon the resources of the primeval forest for their sustenance during a period of three months, which is the usual time spent in the M oods. I presented the recipe to the club in 1857. and it has been their favorite beverage since. It is compounded as folloM'S: Cut from the mountain ash small limbs,ha'f an inch in thickiiess. scrape off outer bark,and then scrape for use inner coaling of green tender bark. Use this freely in mixing cocktail, as bitters. Add whatever liquor is desired. Place mixture in a vessel, let it stand over night, and in the morning it is ready for use. SODA COCKTAIL.

A Few Hints to Barkeepers,

I am not sure that whatI can here say will be of much importance. Yet. there are many well considered rules for governinj,' tlie conduct of the American barkeeper. I will, however,say that cleanliness isa first principle,and should ever be strictly maintained. Steadine.?s in the performance of your duties is also essential. A close observance of the manner and style of your su perior in rank when concocting and serving drinks, and in the e.\-ecution of their various duties,is recommended. They should serve you as models for imitation. The list of drinks, mi.vturcs, beverages and concoc tions which are lierc ap])ended, are the results of long practice, great experience and much tlmught. Many of them are original with me,and a great many of the others arc improvements of my own upon the old style mixtures. My experience has been varied and exten sive. I have had much practice in my profession in many parts of the globe, and liave carefully watched the practice prevalent in other iiortions. I would sug gest that the list can bestudied by the novice and perused by the e.vpert to the advantage of both. You will find it to be a fair and reliable standard of American bever ages, both of the ordinary style and ofthe fancy descrip tion. I therefore recommend it.
