LuSoToUs "SAMPLINes. n--Our friend,
Philip Maohet, the well known wine mer-
chant of our city, sends US with kind
greetings from his depository Of good
things on Lafayette street, several bottles
Of choice champagne-enough to grace a
good sized wedding feast-for which we
return him many thanks and shall re-
member him in our most prayerful liba-
tons.
Mr.. Machst devotes great care and at
tention to the selection Of his wines, pro-
curing them through the celebrated i'm
porting house Of Oscar Bercier ~ Co., OF
Nos. az and Al Old Levee, New Orleans
OF the wines in store at Mr.. Machet's, and
of which Messrs. Bercier d Co., are the
sole importers, ore the celebrated Cham
paenes known as "Champagne Imperial, y
"Black Seal" "Creme dc Bouzy" and
"Flsur de Bouzy" Persons can rely upon
getting the genuine articles at Machet's.
Apropos of champagne, here is pleas
ant article on the merits and effects of that
delicious species Of wine, which We com
mend to the general reader:
Effects Of Champagne. The intoxicating
effects of champagne are rapid, but ex-
ceedingly transient. This arises partly
from carbonic acid that is evolved from it,
partly from its alcohol, which being sus-
pended in the gas, extends itself rapidly
over the surface of the stomach. In cases
of weak digestion, champagne is one Of
the safest wines that can be drank. We
know of remarkable instances of persons
who have been Frustrated by illness to al
most the last extremity, who were resusci-
tated by taking champagne. We are not
talking Of it's curative, but its restorative
powers. We have no faith in general
panaceas, but can testify that in particular
cases champag has been admirably use
full We speak Of facts within our own
knowledge, of three ladies who were re-
duced to such state Of prostration that
in the opinion of their physicians, their
existence was only question of few
hours. As dernier resort, champagne
WAS ordered % be taken in each case, and
the restoraf On commenced Immediately
We do not say the disease was cured, but
fresh vigor was supplied to the weakened
frame, and the stomach, thus getting into
order, was enabled to digest nutritious
Dict. In this way the power of nature
may be so assisted as to afford reasonable
hope of ultimately overcoming disease
Who that, by these means, has succeeded
in prolonging the life Of some dear rela-
tive-a tender mother, wife, a child, t
sister--will not consider wine amongst the
most precious gifts 10 the temperate anc
rational man. Hias and VINE COuntrte
