MODEL SEA-CAPTAN. The Christian
Register of last week pays just and beauti-
full tribute to the memory Of Capt Richard
son, who persisted with the Stafordshire, in
the course Of which the following incident is
related -
Though somewhat celebrated for his quick
trips, he did not make them in a reckless
spirit. His recent voyage from the East In
dies, the shortest ever made, might have been
accomplished in day less time but for his
unwillingness to run the slightest unnecessary
risk. AS he made the land, he was quite but
not perfectly sure he was on the right course
Throwing the little doubt, by strong self-con-
troll, into the scale of safety, he put about
and stood out to sea- again, to find the next
morning, that he might with entire security
have kept his favorite Staffordshire on her
triumphant way. The courage and sacrifice
OF such an act of caution as this, in one as
ambitious as he was, was truly noble, and
needs no comment.

The Messrs. Heidseck & Co., as set forth there
in, justly claim to be alone enabled TO send 10 this
country the genuine Heidsieck & Co. Champagne,
under the same name and style as originally intro
duced into this market, now nearly thirty years
ago. they being sole proprietors of all the identical
vineyards, cellars, &C., which the founders and
originators of this celebrated brand had owned.
Such being the fact, we need not dwell upon the
superior quality of their Wines, the reputation OF
the same among the American public being already
identified with unsurpassed excellence.
We beg particularly to notice that their brand
still bears the same name of Heidsieck & Co., In
full, by which il first became so favorably known,
being thereby easily distinguished from other SINH
lar marks which have since appeared.

sole proprietors ofthis well-known brand.
In order to distinguish the same from mutations

the name Of our firm in full will be found on the
