bags  of  tripe,  which  are  then  cut  into  slices  and  fried.     An  old  and  favor-
ite dish  among  the  descendants  of  the  Dutch  in  New  York.
Rum-Bud.  A  grog  blossom ;  the  popular  name  of  a  redness  occasioned  by
the  detestable  practice  of  excessive  drinking.  Rum-buds  usually  appear
first  on  the  nose,  and  gradually  extend  over  the  face.  This  term  seems
to  have  reference  to  the  disease  technically  defined  to  be  unsuppurative
papule,  stationary,  confluent,  red,  mottled  with  purple,  chiefly  affecting
the  face,  sometimes  produced  and  always  aggravated  by  the  use  of  alco-
holic liquors,  by  exposure  to  heat,  etc.  —  Rush.
Rum-Hole.     See  Groggery.
Rum-Sucker.    An  habitual  drinker,  a  toper.
One  of  the  best  things  that  can  be  applied  to  a  rocky  pasture  infested  with  bushes,
briars,  or  weeds,  is  salt.  Salt  them  every  week  while  wet  with  rain  or  dew,  and  let
the  stock  look  to  that  source  alone  for  a  supply  of  this  luxury,  which  they  run  after
with  an  acquired  appetite  as  strong  as  that  of  a  rum-sucker.  —  N.  Y.  Tribune,  July  9,
1858.
Run.  a  small  stream,  or  rivulet.  A  word  common  in  the  Southern  and
Western  States,  and  sometimes  heard  at  the  North.
There  is  no  house  in  the  main  road  between  this  and  the  run ;  and  the  run  is  so
high,  from  the  freshes,  that  you  will  not  be  able  to  find  it.  —  Davis's  Travels  in  the
United  States  in  1797.
