Eg-ALL ABOUT LIQUoRs.-Champagne
drinkers have had their eyes opened as to
the genuinencss of the frothy, head -ache-v
liquid, denominated champagne. a wine
merchant named Max Ballin, was arrested
some time since, on charge of counter
letting the labels of the Schriedcr brands
OF champagne, putting them on bottles
tllled with an inferior wine, and then un-
derselling the importer of the original ar
ticle. During the trial, some interesting
facts were elected. 1t was discovered
that 1t has been the constant practice Of
liquor dealers to collect old bottles from
the hotels, fill them with disguised Jer-
soy oidor, and eoll TO green onoe ct two
dollars per bottle. a man advertiscs in
the Baltimore papers that he will, for 81
forward directions for preparing twenty
five of the most choice liquors, in quanti-
ties OF five gallons, for hotels and private
use. These directions, he will warrant
will insure saving of from forty to two
hundred per cent, and the best Judges will
1all to detect the genuine from the imita-
ton i! The every best article of Brandy
Will, probably, now be sold for 81 per
gallon. Good The ancient, burnt-up
suckers will soon succumb to such poison,
and the rising generation will be too wise
to touch it. Cheap liquors do considera-
bic towards banishing intemperance.
Letters from Rochelle and Cognac.
dated October 18th, say that as the vintage
will scarcely be sufficient for home con-
sumption, there will be no brandy made
this year for export. Will there be cor
responding scarcity here?

not passion to paint the brow dark with discon-

RULES FOR EscoRTIEa LADrEs-The Wash
ington correspondent of the New York Herald,
in a long homily on the conduct Of ladies in The
capital, among other things says:
Never, or very rarely, offer to carry a ladys
shawl or parasoI, or put your hand on her shoul-
der or round her waist (as is so cften done) in
assisting her out Of the carriage, or into her seat
Toa delicate woman all such clapping and claw
ing is the most insuherable rudeness. The pro-
per way when you alight, is to offer your left
arm as support for the lady's right hand, and TO
hold your right hand in readiness. should the ex-
igences of skirts, ETC., permit her taking il with
her left. In ascending staircase, keep side BIZ
side with the lady, but do not be too ostenia-
tious in Offering your arm, lest in attempt 20
take It she neglects the management Of her
skirts, steps on her dress, and either falls or tears
it out at the waist
If you attend two ladies, place the one next
you who is entitled, either BY rank or preference
to the post Of honor--but on no account what
ever walk between them. A. man with a lady
on each arm is laughable paraphrase Of dom
kew laden with two pannefs. Observe dider-
ent rule, however. In taking your places in

THE POVERTY OF AUTHORS.

Mr.. Carey says that Baron Humboldt Is go
poor that would not be able TO purchase q copy
Of his own works. The Baron is, we believe,
about eighty years OF age, and has had for
the last half century worlG-vide reputation.
Mrs. Inchbald, SO well known as tbe authorers
of the ' Simple Story" and other novels, as well
as in her capacity ofedtor, dragged on, as we
are told, to the age # sixty, a miserable exist
ence; living always in mean lodgings, and suffer
ing frequently from want of the common COM
forts Of life Lady Morgan, we'll knownas Miss
Owenson, brilliant and accomplished woman,
is now dependent altogether upon the public
charity, administered in the form of pension Of
less than five hundred dollars year Mrs. He
mans, the universally admired poetess, lived and
died in poverty. Lamar Blanchard lost his
senses, and committed suicide, in consequ
of being compelled, by his extreme poverty, to
the effort of writing an article for a periodical
while his wife lay a corpse Ia the house. Miss
Milford, so we'll known to all of Us, found herself
after life tf close economy, so greatly reduced
as to have been under the necessity Of applying
to her American readers for means TO extricate
her little property from the rude hands of the
sheriff. Like Lady Morgan, she is now public
pensioner. Leigh Hunt is likewise dependent
on the public charity. Tom Hood, so well
known by his " Song Of Shirt"-the delight Of
his readers, and mine of wealth TO his publish
ers a man without vices, and of untiring indus
try-lived always from day to day on the pro-
dace of his labor. On his death bed, when his
lungs were so worn with consumption, that he
could breathe only through a silver tube he was
obliged to propped up with pillows, and, with
shaking hand and dizzy head, force himself to tho
task of amusing his readers, tina. he might there
by obtain bread for his unhappy wife and chils
dren. When all his reputation, Moore found il
difficult to support his family, and all the com
fort Of declining years due to the charity Of
his friend, Lord Lansdowne. In one Of his LETT
ters from Germany Campbell expresses himself
transported with JOY at hearing that double edi-
ton of his poems had just been published in
London " This unexpected fifty pound" says
he, saves me from jail" Haynes Bayley died in
extreme poverty. OF Mr. Bulwers novels, SO
universally popular, the first edition never ex-
ceeded $500 copies and so it has been, and is
with Others. With all Mr.. Thaekray's popular
ity, the sale of his books has rarely gone beyond
5000, for the supply OF above thirty millions Of
people.

ship-wrecIka of 1853.

Seldom has year, says the Courier des
Etats Unis, furnished as melancholy statistics
of calamities by sea as that which has recent
ly closed.
| Many of the vessels lost are steamships
and though the San Francisco, from the recen-
cy of the disaster, excites lively regret at pres
ert, there are many others. almost forgotten,
yet which have occurred within twelve months
that have claimed their share of victims and
tragic incidents,
The number of steamships lost, either on
the open ocean, or upon breakers, or destroy
ed by FIRE. is 81 of which 16 were American,
3 English, Russian, and Hollander.
The American steamships destroyed were
the Independence, the Tennessee, the S. S.
Lewis, the Albatross, the Ocean Wave, the
Cherokee. the Ajax. tow boat; the Winfield
Scott, the Humboldt; the San Francisco and
the Pear.
The English steamers were the High1yer,
the Duke of Sutherland, and the Marshall
The Russian steamer was named the Senikla-
le. the name Of the HolIander is not known
to us.
One steamship foundered at sea, with all on
board, the Marshall from Hull, Eng, bound
to Hamburg, which was supposed to have
capsized through striking ledge at midnight
| With her persisted 80 souls.
The wreck of seven other steamships was
attended with the loss of portion of passen-
gers and crew, viz: The independence lost
l29; the Duke Of Sutherland 6, the Wave %.
the Monumental City 30 the Holland steamer
1O2, the San Francisco $50, and with the
Pearl Is. The entlie number of lives inyolv-
ed in the loss of these steamers is 6I5.
Pubic sympathy isgenerally more warmly
ELECTED for the loss ofsteamers than for other
marine catastrophes, destroying sailing ves-
sells. The majority Of casualties, however,
have occurred among the latter, and the
wrecking of some of them has sacrificed more
than twice the number of victirs that were
taken from the San Francisco.
!. The total number of three-masted vessels
which have been lost during the year is 80
and the authenticated loss Of life thereupon at
tendant reached 1120. Among the most la
mentable of these was the fate of the Nestor
in which $40 persons wers drowned the La
dy Evelyn 266, the Annie Jane 300, and tn,
Staffordshire lao.
In addition, "a barks, l2 brigs, and 2
schocners have disappeared during the year
and with them lives amounting fu number Il
l64; and of fishing vess els, smacks, &C., 90
with !5 lives, and much valuable cargo.
In recapitulating the list, we find that tn,
entire number of ships lost during the yea
past, including steamers and sailors, reaches
80, and with their loss we have to deplore tht
death OF 1912 persons.

The OLD RURAL LIFE.-The Albany State
Register gets off great many good things
The following, On girls, cider, and apple par
ings, is perfect picture of the rural pastimes
that once existed in g Old Steuben." Listen 10
him:
g Do you remember the old cider mill, friend
Margins, and the old horse as he travelled round
and round, moving with a slow and dignifed
tread, hitched' TO the long lever that turned
the wooden mill that crushed the apples into
pummice! Do you remember the great cheese
in its bandage of straw beneath the press, and
how, when the great screws were turned in
the massive, gallows-shaped frame. the rich
jaics of the apple came gushing out and run
ming into the great tub placed to receive it =
Do you remember how, with straw, the ur-
chins, as they came along, on their way home
from school, filled themselves with cider from
the bung of the barrel? Do you remember
how, in the long winter nights, you sat round
the Fireplace, wherein logs were blazing, and
how the pitcher of cider, with the platter of
doughnuts were placed upon the old cherry Ia
bic that sat out in the middle of the kitchen,
and how you helped yourself to the cider and
the doIghnuts, and how happy each one was
as he sat with his pewter mug of cider in one
hand and doughnut in the otler, before that
old-fashiuned kitchen fireplace Those were
pleasant times. But they are memories now
And then the apple parings, or bees as they
were called, when the young men and maidens
came togethr to pare apples, and talk andlaugh
and play old-fashioned plays. and say soft
things to one another, and eat pumpkin pies,
and be happy after the fashion of the country
people, when you and were young. Primi-
tive times those were, friend Margins; and our
proud daughters and city DANES would turn up
their noses haughtily were they TO be present
at an 'apple-bee, such as they used to have out
in old Gteuben when the country was new,
and the fashions were primitive.
