Imported Wines.

Cette is great manufacturing place,
and what they manufacture there is nei.
ther cotton nor wool, peridord pies nor
Rheims biscuits, but wine. 'Ici,' will a
Cette industrial write with the greatest
GOODNESS over his door, 'Ici on fabrique
des WINS All the wines in the world in
deed are made in Cette. You have only
to give an order for Johannesburg or to-
kay, sherry, port, madeira; nay, for all |
know, for the falernian of the Romans or
the nectar of the gods, and the Cette
manufacturer will promptly supply you.
They are great chemists, these gentlemen,
and have brought the art of adulteration
to perfection. But the great trade of the
place consists not so much in the adultera-
ton Of wine as in the concocting of it
Cette is we'll situated for this manufacture.
The wines of Southern Spain are by
coasters brought from Barcelona and
Valencia, The inferior Bordeaux growths
come pouring from Garonne by the canal
du Midi; and the fiery Rhone wines are
tioated along the chain ofetangs and can
ais from Beaucaire. With all these raw
materials, and of course chemical labora-
tory to boot, it would be hard if the clever
folks of Cette could not turn out very
good imitation of any wine in demand
They will doctor you up Bordeaux with
violet powders and rough cider, color it
with cochineal, and out-swear creation
that it is precious Chateau Margaux,
vintage of "a. Champagne, of course,
they make by hogsheads. Do you wish
sweet wines from Italy and the Levant?
The people will mingIe old Rhone wines
with boiled sweet wines from the neigh
borhood of Tunnel, and charge you any
price per bottle. Port, sherry, and madei-
ra, of course, are fabricated in a abun-
dance with any sort ofbad, cheap wineand
brandy for stock, and with concoctions
in druggists shop for seasoning.
Cette, in fact, is the very capital and
emporium of the tricks and deceptions of
the wine trade, and it supplies almost all
the Brazils and a great portion of the
northern European nations with their af-
ter-dinner drinks. The old French West
India colonies also patronize their ingen-
ious countrymen of Cette; and Russian
drink chambeftin and romance,
made of low Rhone and Burgunday
brewages, favored by the contents of the
graduated phial,

| 4 CERTAIN CURE ToR A FEIoN.--We
! ere sure that all who have suffered from
genuine bone felon will thank us for
| making public so simple and yet so effect
ual remedy as the following. In thou
sands of instances, weeks and months of
the most intense suffering have been en-
dured, allowing of neither rest by day nor
sleep by night, and when cure is at last
effected the finger or thumb is often de-
formed for life. As soon as it becomes
apparent that feIon is making its ap-
pearance, which is known by continued
soreness and pain proceeding from the
bone, and sometimes evincing but little
change for the worse for week or two,
take strong cord of any kind, and wrap
it around the finger, above the afflicted
part, as tightly as can be borne. Keep it
IN this condition until the pain can be en-
dured no longer. Now loose the cord,
and as soon as the pain caused by the cord
ing subsidies tighten it again. Continue
this for several days, or until the feIon is
completely blackened and killed. We
have known several persons who had
been afflicted with felons to try this remedy
with success; in fact we have never known
it to fail. The cording stops the circuIa-
ton, and thus the sore has nothing to feed
on, and soon dies of starvation. We
have faith in this remedy, even after the
telon has made considerable progress -
Exchange.

Two years ago where the trees stood
undisturbed in their everlasting solitude at
the head of Lake Superior, there is now
town called the 'City of SUPERIOR con-
tanning 1900 inhabitants. Two years ago,
the land there was held by squatters at

ior, as laid off into lots and blocks, sells
at prices that indicate a value of over
So, 600, 900 for the whole ! Last summer,
squatter's claims were made in sight of
Superior. Now, no vacant land can be
found in ten miles Of Superior, and lands
in the vicinity Of Superior command $50
to $l00 per acre, and will ere long bring
$500 to $1,000 per acre. It is one hun
drend and twenty miles further West than

"Oh the trouble folks have taken
To smoke and spoil their bacon.n

The Canadian Agriculturist, taking the
same view, says that curing bacon is like
the Irishman's mode of making punch.
He said, Put in the sugar, then fill it up
with whisky, and every drop of water you
put in after that spoils the punch Just
so with curing bacon; after being properly
salted, and peppered at the hook end, eve
ry drop of smoke you put about it spoils
the bacon.
Another mode of saving bacon has been
given by correspondent of the N. E.
Farmer. He says he was entertained at
the house of friend, and dinner he had
reason to compliment him on the excel
lent quality of his bacon, and inquired to
know his method Of preparing and pre-
serving. To our surprise, says he, we
were informed that portion of our meal
was cooked eight months before. He
stated that it was his practice to slice and
fry his bacon Immediately on its being
cured, and then pack it down in its own
fat. When occasion came for using it,
the slices slight refried had all the fresh
ness and flavor ofnew bacon Just pre-
pared. In this way our friend had al
ways succeeded in saving his bacon fresh
and sweet through the hottest weather.

Adieu ye days of happiness,
Adieu the joys of youth;
Lite's river onward sweeps its way,
While time reveals the truth;
He sends the lowery wreath that bound
Soft pleasures lovely brow;
And joys that charmed my bosom once
Have lost their beauties now.
Bright visions of romance no more
Can weave their potent spell,
And love, with its witching power,
bid a sad farewell;
Sterniy the shadows darklY bow
Before my mournful eve:
Poor heart there's little left hee tnow,
I.xceptSthe hope-to die.
The sea of life is wild and dim,
For sorrows storm is here:
My bark is drifting lonely on.
Where fatal rocks are near:
Once shone guiding star for me-
Bright, beautiful and true;
That star has set in clouds of death,
And darkness meets my view.
My path on earth once was strewed
With many lovely flower,
But oh they all have died away
Beneath Times wasting power.
Sickness, with its whitening grasp,
Keeps watch around my bed;
weep for thee, my sister dear
Where hath thy spirit fled!
By selfish hands is coIdly done
Each kindly Office now,
Since the dreary grave hath closed
Over my mothers lovely brow.
Alone, alone my spirit mourns
Ger mem'ries of the past;
A pilgrim on life's rugged wild,
tremble in the blast.
Just Heaven! why was such a lot
Accorded unto mel
Yet could my darkened vision see
There's wisdom in its way;
Be calm my spirit-wait His will,
Who holds creation up;
Be strong in faith, and still receive
From Him life's bitter cup.

BISULPHlTE OF LIME.
NEw ORLEANS, September goth. 1855.

New ORLEANS, September 2Qth, 1856.
TNHE UNDERSIGNED is now manufacturing and
L prepared to supply, pure and genuine Biz
Sulphite of Lime which exceeds in quality and
strength any that has been heretofore manufac-
tured.
ltis almost unnecessary to remind the planters,
as they are already aware of the fact that this
Bi-Sulphite Of Lime when properly used, never
fails 10 produce beautiful white and yellow
crystaliZed sugar, that always commands the
highest price In this market, and the very best
recommendation it can have with Western and
other buyers is the fact of its having been made
with BonnabeFs 3i-Sulphite as they consider
that guarantee against any loss in weight, and
are always willing to pay higher prices for it,
The high repute and favor in which the planters
generally hold this Bi-Sulphite is so much mat
ter OF noioriety that it is quite unnecessary to
puohsh here any OF the many flattering testimon-
lais received daily from those who have used it,
and invariably succeeded beyond their most
sangune expectations in not only making the
pest sugar ever previously made by them but
also IN realizing the highest prices with less loss
IN weight than by any other process. The many
DEMENT'S and superior advantages to be derived
from Its use are now too well established to need
any further comment but it may be well to re-.
mark that this Bi-Sulphite alone possesses that
strength and those qualities necessary to insure
success to the planter.
: Ae many oEueEa akfeauy received thl9 year
from those who have used this Bi-Sulphite, with
out single instance falling, the best evidence,
II any were wanting, in its favor. The UNDER
signed alone possess all the facilities to make a
pure article, guaranteed to be several degrees
stronger than any other in use. There being no
other mandatory in the South equal to the New
Orleans Chemical Works, or which can in any
way bear comparison with them, any quantity
of Bi-Sulphite can be supplied at the shortes
possible notice
Very excellent barrels have been secured this
season to ship the Bi-sulphite of Lime in: they
are guaranteed not to leak, and when returned
they will be re-iled and shipped, and the planter
will invariably be allowed fifty cents per barrel.
Planters who order through their merchants
must be particular to instruct them to buy none
but II. Bonnabels Bi-Salphite, and all orders
must invariably be addressed to
