whilst this is being done no pains are
spared TO legislate for the benefit of the

aid, writing from Bordeaux, furnishes most
valuable and useful information to the ad.
vocates of temperance; but, after reading
his letter, the consumers of foreign wines
will discuss.'their "Bordeaux" with faith
somewhat shaken in its purity.
The writer says that very little, if any,
good, unadulterated, wholesome wine is
sent to this country. "The stuff sent is
generally of the vilest description, and des.
titute of the suggestion of the juice Of the
grape. 1t is generally made Of water, or
the poorest vin ordinaire, unfit to drink,
and favored with an article called essence
of medoo,' one bottle of which gives favor
and boquet to FIVE barrels Of wine" He
also says:
"The wine costs about ten cents bottle
to manufacture, including the profit, which
is not small. Within week past, one
house 10 New York has sent an order here
for one hundred thousand cases of wine, of
various brands, for which they proposed to
pay five francs per case. The house here
declined to undertake to supply wine of
that character, as it had reputation estab.
lished. The cost of bottling and packing
wine, including the filling and corking of
the bottles, placing upon them the proper
capsules and labels, and preparing them for
shipment, is about four francs, thus leaving
one franc only per case for the mixture
which the euterprising and high toned New
York house proposes to supply the people
of the United States. Although the firm
referred to declined to Eli the order, the
agents of the New York house have found
firm that will under take the job, and sup.
ply the labels of all the choicest brands of
white and red wines of France. Besides
this vile stuff, which is sent from here to
food the American market, and poison the
American people, large quantity of oils of
medoc, essences of sauterne and stuff of that
kind, by which choice old wines are manu-
featured in New York, are also shipped
They cost ten francs per bottle, and each
bottle favors from three to five barrels of
the mixture, which, when nicely bottled
and labelled, passes among those unacous-
toned to good wine as the veritab!e article.

say that they look to the United States as
the great market for their vile compounds,
and it is equally as disagreeable to state
that they are not disappointed iu their ex:
pectatiops; and while on the subject, may
as well say that the article as brandy sent
from the Coguae and Rochelle districts is
equally as vile and impure.
"It is unpleasant to disabuse the minds
of people of the common impression that
because wines and brandies are imported
from France, they are pure. 1t is not 80.
Not one fftieth part of the wines sent from
Bordeaux are what they purport to be, and
but small portion of the brandy is pure.
They have all the external brands and
marks of genuine articles, but the articles
themselves are bad and unfit for use."

An Englishman Exploring the South

AL uSllSuuudh 13APlol1h6 LILO SooeA
The last letter of the correspondent of the
London Times, who is travelling in the
South, is dated at Columbia, s. c., and
gives vivid account of the track of Sber
mans army, the ruins of Columbia, and the
suffering of the people. We make the fol.
lowing extract:
have hitherto studiously abstaiued from
dwelling unnecessarily on the ruin which
Sherman spread in his track, and have not
repeated one of the countless stories which
have been told to me, of the personal vio'
lence aud outrages committed by despera'
does of the army. But such reticence is
impossible here, for there is literally nothing
to speak of but ruin, more utter and COM
plete probably, than was ever before worked
in civilized community by civilized army.
Columbia had the repute of being one of
the most beautiful cities on the continent,
and even amid its broken walls, should
60 further aud say that it must have been
the most beautiful. 1t is as startling, there.
fore, to come upon the ruins of fine city
IN America, as it is to see, ora sudden, the
outlines of beautiful temple in the desert
which surrounds the old capital of the Mo.
guis Columbia asserts her supremacy still
amid all her unequaled desolatiou. Her
streets are broad and long, and planted with
rows of fair trees on each side, and often
another row down the middle. She stands
on hill, so that commanding view of q
picturesque country around may easily be
gained from any part of it. But now, turn
where any one will, there is absolutely moth
ing to strike the eye but shattered walls and
pillars of churches, schools, and private
dwellings, People who 60 to Pompeii to

ing stark and unburied in tie sunlight. If
any one can imagine good English town
of $4,000 inhabitants left with not one
third of its houses standing in it, be may
form some idea of the appearance of this
unfortunate city. You walk down street,
between groves of trees, and see nothing
but ruins of houses and large buildings on
either side. Nor were these houses frail
wooden structures, easily burnt down. They
were built of stout red brick, or granite,
with marble steps leading into many Of them

ACHE DIR. Post, who is represented as
high medical authority in New York, deliv-
cred l. lecture at the Medical College in
that city, on Friday evening last He claims
that the cholera is curable as the toothache.
His method of treatment, as he explained
it, is briefly as follows:
The patient is first attacked by diarrhea,
accompanied BY extreme lassitude. he
should go instantly to bed, and remain per,
fectly quiet for forty eight hours, taking at
least fifteen grains of caionel to drive the
Infection promptly from the system After
this has av.ed freely, mild dose Of isuda-
mum should be given to soothe the patient
aud prevent further intestinal action. Ice
should be applied 70 the spinal column
DR.. Post claims that this treatment has been
applied in thousands of cases, and never
failed to result iu the entire and rapid re-
cove,y CT the patient. 1t is of the very first
importance, that the patient should not a.
bandou the reclining posture, from the very
commencement of the disease until the re-
covery. All the prominent men in the city
are engaging themselves 10 the study OF the
cholera, not clinicly, of course, as there EE=s
been no cases yet in the city.
