have already been informed that this
noted parsonage is no more, having re-
Gently died at the advanced age of
eighty nine years. Barbe Nicole Pom
sardin was born in Rheims, in Septem-
Der, l777, and was the daughter of Ba-
ron Ponsardin, for Mayor Of that city.
She was married on the 18th of June,
1898, to Mons. Francois Clicquot,
half pay-officer, whose wounds untitled
him for further servic in the army.
This gentleman had marched through
the best vineyards in Europe, and being
convinced that the art of making cham
payne was in its infancy, set himself
about improving it, and his wife showed
her good qualities in aiding him with
her great skill and judgment. Their
wines improved, and they made very
good sales. In 1905, Mons. Clicquot
died, and his widow, only twenty-seven
years old, took her husbands business
, into her own hands and carried it on
with great success. She would never
use any but the best grapes, and always
kept her wines in her cellar until they
were matured. Two incidents occurred
in 1915 which nearly made her a bank
rupt. A cargeof wine sent to England
was lost and insured for only half its
value, and the allied army invading
France sacked her cellars an did not
leave a single bottle in them. She
felt that she was utterly ruined, but the
officers of the allied army sent in
their orders for her wine, accompanied
by the money, and she was enabled to
go on with her business. Orders also
came in from the Prince Regent of
England, Emperor of Russia, and Duke
OF Wellington. Her credit began to
be better than ever, and she soon be-
came enormously wealthy. In the win
ter she lived in the old and humble
mansion of her early married life, and
in the summer she resided in the Chat
eau de Coursault, which she made one
of the most sumptuous residences in
France. The widow Clicquot was a
little, spare, delicate woman, full of vi
yacity and energy. and possessed more
than ordinary business qualifications,
which enabled her to obtain such a
worldwide reputation. When she
died her property was valued from So
100000 to $4,000, 600. Boston ,Jour.

IMPORTANT TO THE IRON INTERESTS OF
THE UNITED STATES.


The United States consul at Sheffield
England, under date of August 81, in com
munication to the Secretary Of the Treasury
states that he was present at Nottingham on
the reading of q paper before the British AS
sociation on the Convention of melted cast
iron into steel by the pneumatic process. A
discussion followed, which was participated
in by Mr. Bessemer and. other gentlemen
Consul Abbot further says that he called the
attention of Mr.. Bessemer to what has been
stated by his opponent to be defect in his
mode of converting iron into steel, namely,
that when large masses of melted iron,
amounting to from three to twelve tons, are
converted into steel, it does not become no
ingenious. "a
Mr.. Bessemer partly admitted the force OF
the objection, but stated that in the works
near London an improvement has recently
been made by which, after the introduction
of the Spiegel Eisen, the whole is stirred up
by arms fitted to revolving cylinder. He
also stated that the iron of the United States
which he has seen was peculiarly adapted to
the manufacture CT steel by his process. In
England only the very best iron can be us
ed for this purpose, and that which is most
free from foreign substances, especially sui
phur and phosphorus. The iron which is
chiefly used in the Bessemer Works are yari-
eties of red hematite, the best of which is
found on Morecambe Bay, near Furness Alb
hey. Consul Abbot closes by saying "Val-
liable as is the invention of Mr.. Bessemer,
cannot recommend it 10 American manutac-
turers unless they make use. in the process,
| of the very best pig iron, and that which is
comparatively free from sulphur, phosphorus
and other impurities"
The following is an abstract ofthe remarks
| of Mr. Bessener, alluded to in the commune
cation of Consul Abbot Before the intro
ductIon of his process the entire production
of steel in Great Britain was one thousand
tons per week, and how there was macIin-
cry for the production, on his process alone
of five thousand tons in the same period
! One of the most valuable purposes to which
his steel was applied was the construction Of
locomotive engines and rails. Where iron
had been worn out in a few months, stee
rails had been in constant use for four years
at the end of which was still in use. Al
Camden Town there was portion. of rail
way over which an immense amount of traf
fic passed. An iron rail and Bessemel
steel rail were placed opposite each other
and when the iron rail had been changed
seventeen times thesteel rail was stillnot worn
The Bessemer steel was also valuable fol
the manufacture of tires, the construction o1
ordnance, shafts for marine engines, cranks
and notability for the cranks of locomotives
indeed there was scarcely any purpose fol
which malleable iron was formerly used that
steel could not how be employed A yard

The PRESIDENT AND THE CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMEN.-The New York Herald contra
diets it own story as follows ::
The rumor that the President had wit ten
to southern Governors advising them to con-
vene their Legislatures and recommend the
adoption of the constitutional amendment is
undoubtedly incorrect, as no positive indi-
cations have yet been exhibited tending to
show that the President will swerve from his
purpose not to be party to the granting of
universal negro suffrage in any shape. It
may be, however, that the result of the New
York elections, if unfavorable to the Conser-
vatiyes, may tend to ameliorate his views.
anda compromise between himself and Con-
gress be effected at the next session If he
remains infexible, the Radicals will assured
ly makes an effort to impeach him at least,
that is the sentiment the Radical leaders
at this time. s.
The timber of the Presidents message is
already being prepared and some of its pro
portions shaped. The superstructure will
not, however, be completed until the Nov
ember election shall have decisiyely express
ed the tone of the people of New York.

BILIoUsNEss With greater amount of
bile IN the blood than is natural the result is
that the eyes and the skin begin to wear a
yellow appearance, while various other symp
toms manifest themselves according to the
temperament, habits and pecularities of the
individual; one has sick headache; another
complains of want of appetite, sometimes
loathing the very appearance of food; a third
has cold feet and hands; fourth has chilly
sensations, involving the whole body, or run
ming up and down the back a fifth is cos
tive, women become hysterical and laugh,
cry or talk. while men are moody, peevish or
morose. Bile is naturally of a bright yellow
color, but as a man becomes more bilious, it
grows darker and is at length as black as tar,
causing state of mind which the old Ro-
mans called attrabiiity, 'attra' meaning
BLACK : a scowl is on the countenance, and
the person is ill-natured and fretful, finding
fault with everybody and everything; hence
when man is cross he is bilious, and ought
to be pitied, and at the same time be made
to take an emetic. The ill-natured are new
er well, they are bilious the system is clog
ged, the machinery does not work well, and
both mind and body are disordered. The
safest and best method of getting rid of hill
iousness is steady work in the open air, for
six or eight hours every day, working or ex-
ercising to the extent of keeping up gentle
moisture on the skin. This moisture conveys
the bile away out of the system. The same
result will be accomplished, but not so well,
by good steam bath, or by wrapping up in
bed, drinking hot teas, thus getting up a
perspiation;' but the atmosphere of the
room should be pure, and the diet for several
days should consist of coarse bread and fruits.
Medicines which act ON the liver will do
the same thing, but they should be advised by
the physician, when other means have failed.
The Office of the liver is to withdraw the
bile from the blood ; it is the largest work
shop of the body, and is at the right side,
about the lower edge of the ribs. When it
does not do its work, it is said to be tor
pid," asleep, and medicines are given to
stimulate it, wake it up, make it act, work
faster than common, so as throw off the eX-
cess of bile When it does not withdraw or
separate the bile from the blood, the skin
grows yellow, also the whites of the eyes,
and the man has the yellow jaundice."-
When it separates the bile from the blood, but
retains it within itself, constipation ensues,
appetite is lost spirits become Respondent,
and the, person is languid, lazy, fretful, and
irritable. The liver is in o Sense like a sponge,
and the bile may be pressed out of it, as wa
ter out of sponge, by pressing the ball of
the hand over the region of the liver down.
