The MANUFACTURE OF WINES.

Every day adds to the accumulating evidence
that pure wines are very rare indeed, and that
those who use such beverages have no guaranty
as they sip their champagne, claret, burgundy
or port, that they not imbibing a cunning
compound of logwood, sugar, chemicals and
cider, distilled liquors, or under the most
favorable circumstances, very poor wine
cooked" to suit the palate. On this subject
| the London correspondent of the National In
telfgcacer sheds some light. He says:
DAT the north western corner of the Medi-
terranean, on the Gulf of Lyons, stands the
prosperous little town of Cette It's harbor is
usually crowded with vessels bearing the flags
of many nations. The warehouses are numer-
Gus, the stores conmodious, and there is little
or no appearance of either indigenee or idle
ness in the place; yet a stranger is at first puz-
zled to determine what is the particular bust
ness or trade of the town. After little time
he begins to observe among the workingmen
preponderanee of coopers, and great
sumption of slaves and hoops. Then he OBJ
serves that logwood and cider are used largely,
sugar not little. Cheap and consequently in
ferior Spanish wines, called Cheropiga and
Benicarlo, are imported into Cette in large
quantities, but never leave that place under
those names In brief, from these and other
as unsuitable articles are in this little seaport
vast quantities of wines, of every known vim
tage, manufactured; Claret, Hockheimer, Jo-
hannisberg, Burgundy, Champagne, Moselle, !
Sparkling or stilD Madeira, Constantia, Hum
bic Port or Imperial Tokay. So nice is the
skill of this little colony of ingenious wine mer-
chants, so accurate is ther palate, that they
can, with Chinese precision, initiate the flavor
and copy the color of the required fluid, how
ever rare or choice the original sample may
De; and place it in the very form of bottle in
which the genuine wine is ordinarily met with
Even the most experienced judges are not un-
frequently imposed upon. From long practice
he taste and requirement of each different
market is known, and the manufacturer as he
displays his varied stores, knows at once the
precise flavor that will suit his customers pal
tie. Little of these factitious wines find their
way into the interior of France; they are
Mostly dispatched to distant markets"

a BEAUTIFUL FAITH.

beautiful, exceedingly" is the burial OF
children among the Mexicans. No dark pro-
cession or gloomy looks mark the passage to
the grave; but dressed in its holiday attire, and
garlanded with bright fresh flowers, the little
sleeper is borne to its rest. Glad songs, and
joyful bells are rung and lightly as to festival
the gay group goes its way. The child is not
dead, they say, but "going home" The Mexi-
can mother, who has household treasures laid
away in the camps santa-Gods sacred field
-breathes sweet faith, only heard elsewhere
in the poets 1stteraucc. her how many
children bless her house, and she will answer,
Give; two here, and three yonder" So des-
pite death and the grave, it is yet an unbroken
household, and the simple mother ever tires in
the thought.

tense Beauharnais, only daughter of the EN-
press Josephine. After the fall of Napoleon
L., the Bonaparte family had to live out OF
France. Louis Napoleon, with his elder broth
er and mother, lived in Switzerland when the
Revolution of July placed Louis Philippe on
the throne of France. In the following year,
Louis Napoleon and his brother went to Italy,
where both took part in an insurrection at
Rome. The brother died the same year.
From 1882 to 1885, Louis Napoleon who blythe
death of his cousin, the King of Rome, had
become head of the Napoleon family devoted
himself to study, and produced several works,
political and military. His "Manuel sur Par
tillerie, has been highly spoken of by military
men, and we believe that it is now used as a
text book at West Point.
In 1886, took place Louis Napoleon's unsuc-
| cessful attempt to get up revolution at Stras-
bourg. He was sent out of the country, and
was recalled from the United States by the
alarming state of his mothers health In
1888, being driven out of Switzerland, on the
demand of Louis Philippe he went to reside
in London. In 1889 he published Des aees
Ndpolionnes a fine translation of which has
just been issued by the Appletons, at New
York. In 1910 he made that unsuccessful de-
scent upon Boulogne, which consigned him, a
political prisoner, in the Fortress of Ham. In
1916 he escaped to England where he remain
to France, and soon placed him in the Presi-
dental chair there. On December 2, 1851, in
consequence ofa knowledge that his opponents
meditated heavy blow at his authority, he ex-
ecuted the coup detot which overthrew the
National Assembly, and caused his election
first as President for ten years, and next as
Emperor with succession of his family He
was proclaimed Emperor on December 2, 1852,
and Immediately after married Eugenie Coun-
tess de Teba. His recognition as Emperor was
on the part of the United States
and England, and rather tardy by the German
States. In 1858 he entered into alliance with
England, Austria and Sardinia, against Russia,
which resulted in 1854 in the Crimean war and
The defeat of Russia. Allied with Sardinia, he
low makes war against Austria, according to
MS own solemn declaration, as the Champion of
Italian Independence.
1T may be added that the Prince Napoleon
20 often mentioned, is the son of the Emperor's
lncle, Jerome.l

say that, with the French, this amusement
goes great way towards comforting them for
the loss of their money, their respectability,
and their sons; they even say it would comfort
them even for the loss Of their Emperor, were
such sacrifice demanded. One, of the best of
these bon mots suggests the motto on Plon-
plon's banner to be marshals now in the battle
field, and these would make :.Zaadon, Plon-
plon, TaiUant." The !conceit is immensely
successful, for poor Plon-plon's Crimean adven-
ture will make him butt for pleasantly to the
end of all time

ECHOES.

good ear cannot distinguish one sound from
another, unless there is an interval of one-nnth
of second between the arrival of the two
sounds. Sounds must, therefore succeed each
other at an interval of one-ninth of a second
in order to be heard distinctly. Now, the
velocity of sound being ele0en hundred and
t1centy feet q SecOnd in oRe-ninM of a second,
the sound would travel one hundred and tcenty-
four feet. Repeated echoes happen when two
obstacles are placed opposite to one another, as
parallel walls, for example, which reflect the
sound successively. p. .--, q. .'"| .'--'
AT Ademach, in Bohemia, there is an echo
which repeats seven syllables three times; at
Woodstock in England, there is one which re-
peats sound seventeen times during the day
and twenty times during the night An echo
| in the villa Smionetta, near Milan, is said to
| repeat sharp sound thirty times audibly.-
The most celebrated echo among the ancients
was that of the Metelli, at Rome, which, ac-
cording to tradition, was capable of repeating
the first line of the Eneid, containing fifteen
syllables, eight times distinctly. ~ 7-t
DIR. Birch describes an echo at Roseneath,
Argyleshire, which, it is said does not now
exist. When eight or ten notes were played
upon trumpet they We're returned BY this
echo upon key third lower than the original
notes, and shortly after upon key still lower
DIR. Page describes an echo in Fairfax county,
Virginia, which possesses similar curious
property. This echo gives three distinct re-
Elections, the second echo much the most dis
tinct Twenty notes played upon flute are
returned with perfect clearness. But the most
singular property of this echo is, that some
notes in the scale are not returned in their
places, but are supplied with notes, which are
either thirds, fifths, or octaves.
There is surprising echo between two barns, |
at Belvidere, Allegany county, n. Y. The
echo repeats eleven times word of one, two
or three syllables; it has been heard to repeat !
thirteen times. By placing oneself in the ten
tire, between the two barns, there will be |
double echo, one in the direction of each barn,
and monosyllable will be repeated twenty-five
times. --l -.s..
a striking and beautiful effect of echo is
produced in certain localities by the Swiss
mountaineers, who contrive to sing their Rams
des Vaches in such time that the reflected +
notes form an agreeable accompaniment to the
voice itself--Frotcssor iSilhimdn.
