The whole champagne district is in
the Prussisn lines, and Piper Heidsick
and Epernay wines will be rare beverages
during the next few months. One of our
great wine dealers has just returned from
Europe, and another has a shipment

ten days ago. 1t is bonded in New York,
and will be deposited, during the week,
in the Custom House here, and drawn
forth rs the demand requires. Wine bib

taken the house exactly opposite the
Theatsr, No. 81 Jefferson street, and pro-
pose TO keep as good wines and liquors,
as fresh ale aud beer, and as good cigars as
any bar in the country, and that too, at
as low prices. Both being w~ell-known
and popular gentlemen, We hope our
friends viii not forget their claims upon
the public. Two better boys Will not be
found in Tennessee, and we predict that
their house will be the resort of the bon
ton this season.

the larger cities of England can doubt
it?) it is a mystery to us that they
do not come to this country en- HtdSse. As
il is, the emigration agencies in London
are ~thronged, day and night, with anx-
iOus inquirers for information about the
promised land" of peace and plenty.
