AMERICAN WrNE.-The quantity of wine annually pro-
duced in the United States has become subject Of deep
interest The census Of 1910 gave 124 600 gallons as
the produce Of that year 1t has often been stated that
SINCE that period the culture Of the grape and the
acture OF wine herefrom have grown into business Of
considerable Importance in the States bordering the
ONO river, and that several hundred have been
planted in vineyards in that valley, which yield at the
rate OF more than $4,000 gallons Of wine a year. The
total produce Of the Union in 1850 was given at
gallons
The consumption Of wine in the United States, though
oy no means general amounts IN the aggregate large
sum- The imports during the year ending June, 1851
were 900 gallons, Of which probably thrcefourhs
consisted OF the wines of France The value invoice
cost Of the article was $2,370,000 The average con-
sumption OF foreign wines was, therefore, In quantity
but about onequartcr Of gallon for each person. and
In value only ten cents. The coincidence Is somewhat
remarkable that this Is almost precisely the rate of
sumption OF imported wine among the people Of Great
Britain But IN France, according to official returns

gallons Of wine' allowing 25I gallons to each person in
the population-Bostoa Transcript

SIR-Among the downtrodden nations OF Europe
snxiou.ly waiting for the hour when they may burst
their bonds, there s none which merits greater at
tention or awaBens deeper sympathy than Italy.
Neither the several invasions, nor the foreign domi
nation nor thousand years of political and rel yous
tyranny, have effaced from the memory of Italians
that they are all, from the Alps to Sicily, one ma
ton nor have suffced to extDguisb among them

sciences. Never have they been at any previous
epoch more ready than they are to-day TO rise to
assert their rights-and perhaps previous move
meDt in her history ever presented TO Italy more
favorable opportunity to reacqure her nationality.
The belief IL this Is strong ia the minds OF all Ital-
ians; ard protracted and ferocious oppression has
aroused in the masses the courage Of despair so that
it ia evident that if they break their letters it
will Dot be again possible to re-encbain them.
Both Italians and strangers agree that there can
be salvation for Italy without the destruction Of
| the Papacy, through which monstrous and cruel
power Italy has been brought to suffer all the tor
lures by which for ten centuries she has been lace
rated.
