The Pail Mall Gazette. says that explosive
cigars are getting dangerously common In
Paris. Not only are these cigars capable of
severely wounding those who smoke them,
but they often lead to ~inconyenient and de-
plorable results. Not long ago a gentleman
happening to have some in his pocket, and'6e-
Ieving them to be ordinary cigars, offered one
to his uncle, whose property he expected to
inherit, and who wore 8 set OF artificial teeth.
His horror may be imagIned when he saw

The quantity of wine produced In France
this season viii be less than usual, but the
quality VIII be exceptionally good. The long
dry season has been favorable to the ripehing
of the grape. The vines have suffered, how
ever, in BOT places from the extreme cold OF
last winter. The thermometer descended In
mnny Of tbs provinces below zero. The de-
struction was great In the Bordelais. In the
Departments of Eure ct Loire and 10 Dor
degne. In the Departments Of Gard and yau-
clise; Of Herault and Var, a new insect, the
phylloxera vsstatri1, has appeared among the
vines, and In the Departments OF Ard, Arige
and Hante-Garonne foundations have de-
stroyed many of the most promising Vine
yards. In some of these departments the
amount Of wine produced will be diminished
from these causes; but, In general, the wine
harvest.wilt bel q fair one, say two-thirds OF
the usual gathering. As the quality of the
wine made this year promises to be better
than for MANY years previous, the prices
which will be realized in France for the pres
emit vintage will probably be high.
The Parisians are learning to dine at
home. II. is q hard lesson, Dr.: then the res
tanrants are now charging such extravagant
prices for everything, and tho Inhabitants of
Para are, as 8 general thing, an economical
cisss.Th restaurant proprietors seeing their
houses deserted, blame the market, and hold
meetingstodevis means OF redress. The old
system of q bill of fare with fixed prices is
being changed for a carte, wherein no prices
are afaxed, and it Is only when the bill Is pre-
tented that the guest discovers how far he is
on the road to ruin. The complaint is also be-
coming general in that city that the bakers are
ax%tortionista- Flour has fallen three dollars o
barrel, and yet bread is NO cheaper, and 1t is
charged that the guild Of bakers have formed
aMringn and keep up the prices by agreement.
Paris, accordingly, is advised to adopt the
eystem Of municipal bakeries that is said to
hsye provedso effsctual, and such a relief to
the poorer classes at Turin. OF course, the
