THE ORIGIN OF CHAMpAGNE.-Not
withstanding its great celebrity, champagne
is the youngest as well as the livclicst OF
wines. AS you journey from Strasboure
to Paris you pass within a mile Of Rheims
the little village Of Hautvillcrs, standing
above the vine.clsd banks Of the Marne
Here there II an ancient monastery, iu
which lived a joyous monk, Don Porignon
by name, who hundred and fifty years
ago gave tho world the invention Of cham.
pagnc. On account of its many virtues
in which an accurate taste and II clear head
were conspicuous, he took charge of tho
broad, sunny vineyards Of the abbey, and
had the control OF the cellars of the cstab-
lishment. Even as blind old man his
taste distinguished between different kind
of grapes, and, according to an old chroni-
Gle he would give instructions concerning
them. saying "that the wine of one grape
must be married to the wine of another. "
His powerful mind also conceived the hap
py idea that the insertion of cork in a
bottle might moro effectually answer the
purposes which had hitherto been attained
by the primitive stopper of bunch Of flax
soaked in oil. lie had already raised the
yinous rcnown Of his monastery toa great
height, when by lucky chance he hit
upon the invention oftho cffervcscing wine
known as champagne. The jovial monks
kept the secret Ms long as they could, but
at length it transpired, and the new wine
in due course adorned the supper Of there.

Two YANkEEs.-The following story is
told ola Yankee captain and his mate.
Whenever there was plum pudding made,
by the captains orders all the plums were
put into one end Of it, and that placed next
the captain, who, after helping himself,
passed it to the mate, who never found anv
plums in any part of it. After this game
had been played for some time the mate
prevailed on the stewart to place the plum
end next to himself. The captain no SOON
Or perceived the alteration, than, picking
up the dish and turning it round, as if to
examine the china, he said:
This cost me two shillings in Liver
pool" and put it down as if without de-
sign, with the plum end next himself. sl
" Is it possible!" said the mate taking
up the dish. IL shouldn't suppose it wss
worth more than u shilling;" and, as if in.
perfect innocence. he put it down the con-
trary way.
The captain looked at the matc'; the
mate looked at the captain, and both
laughed
III tell you what, young 'un," said
the captain, you've found ME out so We
will just cut the pudding lengthwise this
time, and have the plums fairly distributed
hereafter"

NEWSPAPERS IN TIE PAsT.-Wc cX-
tract the following interesting incident
from Rodgers Scottish character:
When the drinking usagcs were prcva-
lent the desire for mental improvement
was necessarily limited. The country laird
seldom troubled himself with book Gtcra.
turc, and the more in1uiring only made u
practice ofscanning the columns Of week
ly newspaper. The Earl of A., who.
like the Lord Marine, had long found an
asylum in France from the consequences
of Joining the rebellion Of l745, acquired
there some taste for pcrusing the public
journals. On the rcvcrsalof his forfeiture
he returned to his family estate, but spent
his remaining years in scclusion. His chief
employment consisted in mastering the con-
tents Of the weekly newspapers, and there
after retailing the principal items Of intel
ligcncc to his household. Every evening,
precisely as the clock struck eight his
lordship descended from his usual apart
mcnts to the servants hall, where, leaning
himself on the buffers chest he detailed
the narrative of public events with COM
mcnts and criticisms of his own. The ia
ther of the writer, who assisted the psro-
chial clergyman, was on one occasion an
auditor of his lordship's evening relation
and the scene was, according to his de-
scription, worthy of sketch by Wilke.
Not to lose the satisfaction Of being chroni-
clcr to his household, his lordship was in
the habit Of committing his newspapers to
the flames as soon as he had finished the
perusal.

AUBURN MILLS.-The Auburn Mills AZ
Reno, owned by the Nevada Land and
Mining Company (Limited), of London,
started up on Tuesday last, on ore from
Desert District, Humboldt County. The
mill is run by water power, brought
from the Truckee, and, with the fncili-
ties for transportation Of ore by rail-
road, cannot but prove a profitable an-
~dertsking. The company own au exten-
sivs tract of land on the Truckee and a
number Of mines in Humboldt, all un-
der the management Of ]. ]. Dunno, q
pioneer of Nevada, and q gentleman
who latterly has spent several years in
Europe, examining mines and reducing
works. We understand that the COM
pany propose to erect further works on
the Truckee, to control the reduction
Of ores from Truckee District, Humboldt
County. Roasting and smelling furna-
ces are being projected, and Reno bids
fair to be q second Swansea.

although the body had lost considerably

we said before, vas not so offensive as
was naturally expected. They rolled it
in q canvas STROUD wound around
with ropes, and thus brought it to the
surface. What chemical combination
Of gases or other atmospheric condition
in that confined, hot, damp, steam
permested tomb, far down 10 the bosom
of the earth, prevented the usual dis
solutive corruption, we leave for the

The air in the Crown Point is only

foot level the air is good. The water
which was about 200 feet deep in the

made last night in the upper levels from
the Kentuek, but the air proved too
bad. and one of the explorers was
brought out asphyIia,ed. Neither of
the three bodies were seen, and they
are supposed to be buried under some
