in his own administration, he was the represent

champion Of human rights, not yet indicated,
and which are yet, for long time, to agitate the
world-he led the van in the contest Of liberty
against savery--the future history of the coun-
try is to be influenced, moulded, formed, shaped
more by his spirit than by that Of any other man

where he was fatty refused admission by the
porter in waiting. However, he forced his way

CHAMPAGNE WINE.-A bottle of this wine
can be bought in the province Of Champagne, for
about 40 cents. Now the jolly fellows of the
United States think they get the best of this
wine to drink. Why should MT they? Don't
they pay two, three, and even FIVE dollars bot.
tie ? The following facts will show them the
chance they have of drinking pure wine. With
lottery ticket, prize can be calculated npon
more certainly than the purchase, in this coun-
try, of bottle of wine pure from the vintage.
There ara 100000 bottles Of false Cham
payne every year sent to Russia; about as much
more is sent to England; and fully equal to that
quantity to the United States There is a com
pany in Paris who make natural Champagne
wine. They take poor chablis, for instance,
sweeten it with candy, refine it, and then pass it
through an apparatus which charges il with car
bonic acid gas and in fifteen minutes, il is ready
for the market
Immense quantities are also made from cider
by the employment of all sorts of drugs, and in
England, great deal is made from gooseberries
and the stalks of rhubarb. 1t is not SO good rs
the genuine but nine out of ten Of those who
drink it, cant tell the difference, and it will
make them just as drunk, and give them the
same horrid headache, and why then is 1t moi
Just as valuable? True, some poisonous drug
are used in the fabrication, but none, perhaps
worse than alcohol.
The annual product of France in this article
of Champagne wine, Is about 50,0O0,000 bottles
The annual consumption Of the world, at th'
same time, is 00,00O,000; so that 100000 900
bottles of false wine goes down somebody
throats, is clear case.
