WINE MAK1No.-A discovery in re-
lation 10 fermentatiop.- one applying
equally to cider and other LIQUIDS
has been made in California, which,
according to accounts given, will be
of the greatest Importance. to wine
makers Of this country. By the Or
dinary process of fermentation it
takes many months to complete. the
process, and then the wine, bas to
stand ono or moro years to- pipen, snb-
jcct all the time to- various accidents
and diseases. In the usual method
tho contact Of the air is at the surface
Of the liquid in the vat Or cask only !;
by the new process, which. has been
patented, air is At intervals forced
through the liquid from q perforated
tnbe placed at the bottom of the yes
sci. 1t is claimed that the whole pro-
cess of fnrmentation,- without any
second working, can be completed in
about Ave days, and that in from two
50 four weeks after fermentation has
ceased, the wine or cider will be clear
and ripe, and not liable. to undergo
any further change.

\ MAGNIFICENT House OF WoR-
sHIP.-The New York Herald cont aims
very full description Of the new
Jewish house Of worship, built corncy
Fifth Avenue and Forty-third street,
New York, known as 'Tcmplc Emanr,-
El." 1t blends in unconscious har-
mony six different orders Of architcc-
rurc-Sacaseni, Byzantine, Mo-
RESCUE, Arabcsduc, Gothic and Nor
man. The interior decorations arc
finer and moro costly than of any
Christian Church in tho land. The
HercM closes its article with the fol-
lowing:
In ten pews from the pulpit sit cv-
cry Sabbath ten milionaircs, and
from that point back aggregate of
millions more is represented. Did
there ever sit together: since the
days that the fair and regal ruler of
Shebn WAS escorted by the gorgeous
retinue of the court Of Solomon TO
the temple Of that monarch ambi-
ton, such II galaxy Of worldly wealth
aud it might be vcn;urcd, such gal
axy OF beauty anal refinement? The
roof Of the temple is flat and cut into
squares by the transverse arches. A
good deal Of elaborate polychromc
painting fills in the spaces. The best
time to observe the many beauties in
this field of decoration is at night,
with the aid furnished from the full
radiance of the many blazing candc-
labra. Tho figures are brought out
in happier reliei and show with
lustre deniet them by daylight.
Altogether the temple Of, Emanu-El
is feature i'll itself, and has no par

lied "a success. Its interior decora-
ton, wjtbpu. being quite 80 great o
novelty, has 80 manyl points of origi

OF interest with tho architectural de-

that the first pew sold realized the
enormous sum 6f $4,000. %'''~ '"''

Death Of George Peabody.

This eminent banker, and renown-
I'D bcnefactor Of two hemisphercs.
died at his residence in London, on
the 4th inst. The following summary
Of the prominent events Of bis life,
sc extract from the Charleston News ::
In 1895, when George Peabody
Was born Al Dunvcrs, Massachusetts,
Washington, with al his honors thick
npon him, wore the official robe as
President Of tho newborn Republic.
His boyho"d was uncvcntful; but in
the war of 1862 he saw actirc service
as u volunteer. Steadiness, patience
and integrity enabled him to move
sur:Iy upward, and in 1897, when he
established himself in England he was
alrcaoy known as capable and sue
ccssful merchant. Many monetary
transactions on the part of the States
Of the American Union were entrl,sl-
cd to Mr.. Peabody, and in revolution
ary 1913 he largely contributed to
the restoration Of the credit Of the
State of Maryland.
"The public generosity of Mr. Pea
body first showed itself at the Inter
national Exhibition Of 1851, when, ut
his own cost, he arranged and dccora-
ted the department allotted to the
United States. When the Franklin
Exploring Expedition was fitted out
IN 1852, he contributed largely to it's
expense. Tho heart of the sober
merchant ycarned to his native town,
and at I cost Of Sl2s,O he erected
at Danbnry thc institute which
besrs his name: To Maryland he
gave sGoo,0O0; and the magnificent
building i" the M"nu.nentaI City,
known "s tn" Pcahusly Institute, is an
enduring monument OF his rcIown.
"The measure Of his usefulness
accmed full, when, seventeen years
ago, he retired from commercial lic.
This enabled him to carry out Il long
cherished plan of erecting comfort;,-
bio and convenient lodging houses
for the working classes. Mr.. Pea
BODY, for this purpose, gave the City
of London one and 4 half million dol
lars, and now in nscvcry quarter Of the
Great City there rise up majestic
buildings, bearing witness houIIy to.
the wisdom as we'll as lavish gcneros-
iity of great benctuctor Of his race.
When the war with tho Confederate
States came to an untimclJ end, iir.
Peabody gave $4,000 for the aid Of
the common school cducatior in lhe
South. This fund will, in time, work
incalculable and permanent good
This old city has especial cause TO
remember his name. But for the
F 'abody ip'd, the public schools of
Charleston would have been closed for
at least season.

merchant spread from polo to pole.
Her Majesty, Queen Victoria, thanked
him i'll an autograph letter for his
manficent gift to the poor Of London.
Ribbons, stars or titles uero not to his
taste, aud Mr.. Reabody WAS presented
with portrait Of the Queen, painted
for him by her express command.
And i'll his own country he was no
less honored. The Congress Of tho
United States, in 1867, passed for
pal vote, thanking him for his gifts

leading from ITighbury Barn to the
station Of the North London, situated
at the extremity of Upcr street, when
his attention WAS directed to n gentle

movements appeared suspicious.-
Shortly afterwards the we'll dressed

the point Of crying " stop thief" whom
observed that the young man stop

turned to him the article which he
had inst before distracted. At the
same time the pickpocket unbuttoned
i his coat, and revealed upon his breast
. somf thing remarkable, for the gentle
man burst into Il fit of laughter, took
his handkerchief, slipped few pence
into the hand Of the young man, and
departed, ianghing still more. was
! puzzled. AT the sight OF me the
: young pickpockct slackencd his pace.
: lie evidently rcckoncd upon trying
: on me the same operation as upon his
. prcviouc victim Tor he pretended to
be plucking some flowers along the
way. until I had passed him, when he
! quiclscncd his step. A moment after
l felt his hand lifting the tail of my
ovcrcoat, and ! seized him by the
arm. "Rascal! !" ! exclaimed, Il
saw you coming" The robber was
probably sixteen or seventeen years of
agc, and had a face full Of intelligence
and mischief. "I see how it is," he
! replied, laughing; "you saw me take
the gcntleman's handkerchief; but I
am not pickpoehret, nssule -, uu."
IL should like to know, then, what
you arc" "What I am? You had
better SEQ for yourself" So saying
ho opened his coat again and on his
waistcoat perceived yellow metal
plate bearing the words painted in
black letters, Ant'-Plckpoclscts' Socie-

exclaimed in astonishment, what on
earth is that?" ':It is very simple,
sir. We follow gentlemen or lady,
whom we strip of a handkerchief or
some other article. Then we present
them with their property, pointing
out how easy it would have been to
rob them. In this way they learn to
be on their guards against real pick
pockets" "And what do you gain
by all this 2" "Peoplc generally give
us a few pence to recompense us for
our honesty" ga singular trade,
