Making champagne is now regular busi-
ness in California. 1t is done, according to a
correspondent who has seen the process, as
follows The crude wine is run into q tank
which holds three thou and bottles, and then
sweetened with eighty-two pounds of sugar.
The succeeding processes are nice and com.
plicated, and some of them l believe are kept
secret from tho public. The solution of the
great pro oolem Of childhood-how ch mpacna
corks get IN when they so much larger at
the bottom than at the top-appears in an in
genious machine, which congresses them
one-half and then drives them in in twink
ling. The newly-flled bottles are laid in
frames, with the necks sloping downward.
Here they remain for some weeks, but are
shaken by hand every day. IMe pressure on
bottle is ninety pounds to the square inch,
or equal to that OF six atmospheres. About
one in ten bursts. The men who shake them
wear masks OF wire to protect their faces.
The superintendent has long scar on his
right hand. where he was once cut by the glass
Of an o-~i~a'no hottie. After the VINE has
worked itself clear. the cork is removed for
an instant to let tho sediment fly out; then il
is replaced. the bottle is labelled, wrapped and
oased bv Cinnamon, and it is ready for the
market"
The returned officers Of the United States
steamer Guerrero, who were recently up the
Parana River in Brazil, are loud in their ex-
pressions OF sympathy for Lopez. According
to their account he still carries on an energetic
defensive warfare aoainst vastly superior num-
bers, means OF warfare, and resources and
that he has never shown o sign of trepdation
ncr a thought OF surrender. Brazil has lost
tens Of thousands Of men, and involved herselr
4 n vast debt her ally, the Argentine Rcpub.
Tic, has withdrawn from tho expensive aud
apparently endless fght and although
denounc I'd as cruel tyrant and mvrs,er
OF iniquity, Lopez has had at his ser
vice. first and last, the entire resources
OF his people. and no attempt at revolt from
mis- rule has been made, and no betrayal has
Oeen made OF mis- cause. Even according to
Brazilian accounts, he has lately infli ted a
.ser!ous blow on their army, and is still upsub-
dued. defiant and active. He is described ~
the Parsguayans themselves as q man OF great
courage resources and energy, who rules bv
virtue of his qualities as . leader, not by mere
desposlc exercise OF brute force The Para
guayans are oil devoted to him. and will sacri-
flee wha ever is necessary to insure their nde-
pendence ofthe hated Brazilians. The officers
think Lopez will drive the Brazllians out OF the
country unless he is bldly whipped and broken
in the next battle.
