CALIFORNIA WINE AND BRANDY.-The
San Francisco Price Current quotes regular
ly, native California brandy at SO per gal
Ion and says:
California brandy, distilled from the ua-
tive grape, can now be bought in the mar.
ket and Of a quality equal to the average
brands of cognac imported here, and greatly
superior to the Rochelle brandy. MeSSrs
Jas. T. McDougall & Co. were the pioneer
manufacturers of California grape brandy,
and have for some months, been making
regular sales to the trade fiom their distil.
lation of last season, which amounted to the
very respectable quantity of 500 octaves
Some of their brandy was shipped to New
York, where it me, with favor, and realized
for first consignment high figure. From
the grape crop this year it is estimated tina
$4,000 gallons will be made, or from 300 &c
400 per cent. more than last year. At thi:
ratio of increase we do not hesitate to say
that three years hence fine brandy will b,
one of our exportable products.
1t is is estimated that $50, 900 gallons o
wine were made in California last year
From the grape crop this year il is expected
$50, 900 gallons will be manufactured.

PROFESSIONAL INcoNEs-Mr Ulman has
stated that during each month of Thalberg S
the pianist-engaged in this country, his
nett profits had been twenty Thousand dol
lars month; in other words, that for play
ing two or three pieces on the piano, four
or five times every week, NJ. Thalberg had
cleared, every FIVE weeks, sum exactly
equal to the whole salary paid to the Presi-
dent of the United States i'm an entire year
The only difference is that Thalberg's re-
ceipts, as above stated, are clear of all detuc,
tions-the cost of his travelling and living
being included in the gross expenses, and
the 500, 900 per month being nett profit
whereas the person who fills the high and
responsible office of President of the United
States has to bear all expenses, for himse
and family, out of his salary, SO that hi
must be very close and almost penuriou,
man if he can save money out of it.

TINEs IL NEW ORLEANs-From some un-
known cause, the fever at New Orleans, says
a letter to the st. Louis Republican, has
created greater panic in the minds of the
people, than even the dread epidemic of
"53." The streets are quite deserted, and
the few business men you meet wear a sub
dued expressions if they were dreading
some great calamity. st. Charles street, the
main artery of life and hustle, is as still as
death (; and at night not a sound is heard,
save the measured tread of the watch. Yet
with all this, the acclimated citizens have
their hands full in the way of business.
The arrivals from the West, of tobacco and
produce generally, being enormously large
for this season OF the year. Of tobacco
alone, think that this season New Orleans
has received fully double as much as she has
ever done before, and still the supply from
the West is far from exhausted The rail-
road line from st. Louis, 1.-THE only line now
running) J. bringing in full cargoes every
other day, and of each cargo, tobacco is a
principal ingredient Having spent part OF
every summer in New Orleans since 1881,
fe justified in saying that the business oil
this summer far excels that of any previou;
one in all particulars-in the amounts re-
ceived and the sales made.

"'The line is down. shouted Ike, as he

every thing was right. The night caps
swung to and fro by their strings, the
dresses waved their long arms in the wind,
and Ikes ealligaskins, inflated by the

so, but it would be great deal safer to send

FRoN KASsAs.-A private letter from an
influential member of the free State party
in Kansas says the Lcavenworth consti-
tuition, which has been approved by the peo-
pie, will be presented to Congress in De-
cember, and admission into the Union under
it demanded by the people of the Terrific
~. The Leavenworth instrument is OBJ
jectionable in many of its features, but it
will be easier to amend them after the State
Is organized, than to frame-under present
circumstances new constitution. Gov.
Denver will not call an extra session of the
Legislature, and its regular meeting does
not occur till next January.
A law authorizing a Constitutional Con-
vention could not be passed, and the mem.
bers elected, and Constitution framed be-
fore the adjournment of the next session Of
Congress. 1t would, therefore, be impossi-
bic to get new Constitution before Con-
gress till the session of 1860, and by lit
tie adroit management on the part of her
opponents, Kansas could be kept out Of the
Union till after the Presidential election,
even if the Bill English bill should be re-
pealed. If the conditions of that bill be en-
forced Kansas could not comply with all the
prerequisites before 1862 or 1862. The
leading object of the Administration party
will now be to keep Kansas from coming
into the Union till after the Presidential cleo.

Judge Fowler and Lady, of Psducah, arc
On visit to our city, scjourning st the
Sherwood. The Judge is still confident that
the two most Hourishing and imposing
cities on the Lower Ohio, are ultimately to
be united by q railway. The packet line
between the two places has shown how
much trade is yet to be drawn from the I'M
developed country that lies; between them.
Mutual confidence and united efforts will in
crease our means Of Intercourse, and finally
lead to. the unior,<by IS miles Of railroad
through the most fertile districts Of Ken
lucky. The railroad from Paducah, South,
is now in operation to Mayfeld, and bring
ing freight and travel for the East, which
looks to this city and our railroad as its
natural route East. The iron has been pur-
chased, and the earth work nearly done, to
complete the Paducah road TO its intersec-
ton with the Mobile and Ohio road, and be-
fore next May it is expected that Paducah
will have direct railway intercouis, with all
the towns West and South of the Tennessee
River, from the Ohio to the shores of the
Gulf With popular line of packets be-
tween the two cities, large amount of
Southwestern travel with the East can be
drawn to this route. The citizens of the
two places should cooperate in the maintain
ance of the two excellent packets which we
now have, and endeavor to make the line
daily, and to improve in every way its IA
cilities for the accommodation of shippers
and travellers.

nay. On Saturday morning week. tn

16y. On Saturday morning week, three
young men, named Augustus and Samuel
Gilchrist Mr.. DcVicker of Thomaston, Me-,
and Miss Mary Flinton, of Georges Island,
embarked at the latter place in sail boat
for Thomaston, and when the boat was
about a mile from the island it was upset by
a sudden squall, and sunk with all on board.
The scene was witnessed by the father Of
the young lady, who was unable to render
any assistance. Miss Flinton was to have
been united in marriage with Mr.. Augustus
Gilchrist on the following day, Sunday, and
he had come to escort her to Thomaston
for that purpose.

~ Some malicious joker caused a gen.
eral stampede of the visitors at the Red Sui
Phur Springs in Virginia, last week, by
placing notes, during the night, under the
doors Of lodgers, cautioning the inmates
against the dangers of . typhoid fever,
which the mischievous missiles said had just
broken out. The visitors were reduced from
400 to 40 in one day. No disease of any
kind had made its appearance, but the hoax
accomplished the object of its author.
