The Bordeaux Wine Crop.

The Paris correspondent of the Ions
don Times writes: "The accounts
from Bordeaux are to the effect that in
VINEYARDS which have suffered from
frost or hail the crop is more or less
poor according to the degree of damage
done. but in those which have not been
visited by those enemies of the vine
grower, the abundance OF wine exceeds
the most sanguine anticipations. The
proprietors generally have been taken
by surprise, and even much embar-
raised by this bounty of Bacchus, and
many of them have had to suspend
their vintage and wait until the ecota-
ges, or flow from the watts, had made
room for more. The supply of casks
has also proved insufficient, and the
price rose from $50 francs at the COM
mencement of the vintage to $50 francs
before it's close. The temperature was
favorable to the growth and ripening
of the grape. A fine quality of wine
was foreseen, and my letters from Bor-
deaux up to three days ago confirm the
favorable augury. It seems generally
agreed in the great capital of claret that
1874 will take a high place among the
good years already on record; that the
quality will be excellent, as the abund
ance is certainly great. This is the opin-
ion based on the first hastings, and it
may be considered as still liable to mod
ifcation, but hardly to any great extent.
The opinion recently given by the agri-
cultural journal of the Gironde, and
which is confirmed by private letters
thence, was to the effect that at first
asting certain harshness was OIL
served, which might be taken for the
greenness produced by doubtful ripen-
ing of the grape; but as that ripening
has everywhere been perfect, no doubt
is felt that the apparent greenness
will be replaced, as the wine
trade at Bordeaux, which for
time had been dull, begins to re-
vive. Some large sales of 1878 Medoc
were lately announced, and it is thought
certain that great commercial activity
will be manifest as a necessary conse
quence of the combination of the quail
ty and large quantity. The quantity
tends to lower the prices, while, on the
other hand, the quality encourages
speculation, since really good wine in
the long run, is sure to find it's value,
and can hardly leave loss if not pur-
chased at the exhorbitant rates to which
speculation sometimes drives it up. Ac-
cording to the most recent accounts,
prices were daily rising in theBordeaux
market, in consequence of large pur-
chases, especially Tor England and Hol
land :"

AWFUL CATASTROPHE.
Loss OF 10000 Lives by n TyphOon ii
China-EuII Details,


China-E'ulI Details.
Along Kong paper of September
&c, just received, says: cit is our balm
full duty to record the most appalling
disaster that ever occurred in this coun-
try. A typhoon of unprecedented vio-
lence ragged throughout the colony on
Tuesday night and Wednesday morn
ing. Not single ship escaped undam
aged, and the casualties and loss OF
life exceed anything ever before placed
upon record. This city, after the oc-
currence, presented the appearance of
a town which had been besieged. In
all directions were seen roofess and
shattered houses and crumbling walls;
roads strewn right and left with debris.
and the wreck of boats and trees, some
OF gigantic size, torn up by the roots.
All business has been suspended, and
oppressive silence reigns over the col
Ony.'
The Press of October 3 says: ''The
loss at Hong Kong and Macao is not
less than 5000 lives. Vessels arriving
report meeting dead bodies a long dis
lance before reaching port, and corpses
are daily washed ashore in various parts
of the island. The damage done to
property is larger than anticipated. In
Hong Kong alone the loss of property
by destruction Of vessels, buildings, and
general merchandise. will reach SIS, OOO.-
900.
A correspondent at Macao writes that
the typhOOn was of the most terrific
character. Early on Wednesday the
tidal-wave broke on the shore with
awful violence, sweeping everything be-
fore it. When the tempest was at it's
height, fires broke out in six different
places, maliciously caused by pirates
for spoils The church of Stanton and
large number of houses in the nei gh-
borhood were completely burned down.
Many people lost everything they had
and were rendered homeless Macao
was laid in ruins, and the misery thus
entalled upon hundreds of its residents
is fearful, while the loss of life was
enormous. 1t is computed that over
10000 lives were lost in Macao alone.
-Four days afterwards, the effluvia aris-
ing from the thousands of decomposing
bodies was SO great that the soldiers re-
volted, and refused to bury any more
bodies. The Governor, fearing that a
plague would follow if the bodies we're
not disposed of, ordered them to be
burned; 1000 bodies were cremated,
the troops first covering the bodies with
tar and then setting the heap on fire.
The loss of life around and in the
vicinity of Hong Kong will exceed
1000. A large number of Europeans
are among the killed. The whole num-
Der of lives lost will number over 90
900 souls. The amount, of property des
stroyed goes far into the millions. A
slight shock of earthquake was exper-
enced at the same time as the tidalwave
and typhoon. Aberdeen is almost en-
tirely destroyed, and the dock is fear
fully damaged. -.

Disastrous FLooDs AT THE SourH. -
Louisiana is suffering from the most
disastrous flood she has ever OK.
perienced. A great part of the State
especially that south of Baton Rouge
is under water. For the past month,
the Mississippi and its tributaries
have been steadily rising till they
have attained greater height than
he's ever before been known, In
effect the floods will be infinitely
more disastrous than any before
experienced. Before the late civil
war the planters drove their slaves
and stock to the highlands, and, on
the subsistence Of the waters, return.
cd in time for q late crop which was
always Of an excellent character.
Now the freedmen stampeded on the
first appearance Of the flood, leaving
stock to perish by the thousand.
Soyenty-fve thousand people are
drowned out, destitute and homeless.
Urgent appeals are made for aid to
public and private charity. Con-
gress has before it measure for the
relief Of the submerged district. At
the principal cities liberal subscrip-
tion lists have been taken up.

A BRAVE WoMAN.--A brave woman
Of Boston, who refuses to have her
name made public, was left in charge
ofseyeral children one night lately
and, ono Of them being taken sick,
she summoneda woman servant to
carry prescription TO the apothe-
cary's for some medicine; but the
servant came, frightened out of her
wits, saying there was burglar con
cealed in q certain closet. The wo-
man went straight to the door and
said, "If there is anybody in this
closet let him come out, whereupon
q big, sinister-looking negro stepped
forth. The woman then, with the
utmost GOODNESS, handed him the
prescription, saying-''Take this to
the nearest apothecaiy's and get il
filed There isa sick child in the
house" The black burglar left
without a word. Meanwhile the
woman, who began to feel a little
faint, called a neighbor. The latter
was about % co. thearoth scary's L r

sTRATfGY OF AN OMAHA SALOON
KEEPER.


An Omaha saloon.keeper deserves
to carry off the palm for strategy in
dealing with the crusaders, or crusa-
der, rather, as there was but one in
this instance-a Miss Garrison, who
had been making herself rather con.
spicuous in crusading alone. On this
occasion she had taken possession of
one Captain Lees saloon. Among the
audience which gathered was the no.
torious Tennie @. Clafin, who hap
pened to be in Omaha, soliciting sub
scriptions for her paper. The Cap
tain saw bis opportunity, and, know.
ing the penchant of Tennie for talk,
he introduced her to the crusader.
Immediately Miss Clahin wanted to
know what Miss Garrison was going
to do, to which the latter replied she
was going to reform the den she was
in. Miss Latin retorted that she
would be better engaged in reforming
her fallen sisters in Omaha. This
little spark kindled the conhagration.
The two women went at it, give and
take, and waxed hotter and hotter as
they progressed. After about half
an hours hard sparring, Miss Clafin
was evidently getting the best of it,
and Miss Garrison thereupon struck
up a hymn. Tennie, however, wasn't
to be sung down. She kept at her
work, and finally drove Miss Garrison
away, but followed her up, and for
aught we know they are still at it,
Captain Lee, however, is not harrassed
any longer by the crusaders.

The accumulation Of dandruff upoA
the scalp on among tine hair is not
only annoying, by causing an intol-
cradle itching, compelling persons
troubled with it to be perpetually
scratching, but its falling upon the
collar and shoulders Of a nice dress
coat leads strangers to believe one to
be negligent Of personal cleanliness,
which is not the case, often, at least
as its constant falling will soon make
quite show, upon a black coat es-
pecially. The question, then, is how
to get lid Of it.
John i. Davis, in the american
Journal Of Pharmacy, says that after
being annoyed with it for years,
trying the various alcoholic and cas-
tor oil solutions, also the borax and
carbonate Of potassa preparations, the
latter Of which, although it proved
effectual in preventing the dandruff,
yet his hair became thinner and thin
ner, and he believed would have
fallen "out altogether" Asa :" last
resort, he says: "The belief that
dandruff arises from disease Of the
skin, although physicians do not seem
to agree on this point, and the knowl-
edge that the use of sulphur is fire.
quently attended with very happy
results in such diseases, induced me
to try it in my own case. One ounce
of hourof sulphur and one quart Of
water was made. The clear liquor
was poured off, after the mixture had
been repeatedly agitated during the
intervals Of few hours, and the head
was saturated with this every morn
ing. In few weeks every trace of
dandru1f had disappeared, the hair
became soft and glossy, and now,
after a discontinuance of the treat
ment for eighteen months, shere is no
indication Of the return Of the disease.
| do not pretend to explain the nsod,ts
0perandi Of the treatment, for it is
well known that sub-lined sulphur is
almost or wholly insoluble, and the
liquid used was destitute of taste,
color or smell. The effect speaks for
tself. Other persons to whom it has
been recommended have had the
same results, and I communicate the
result Of my experience in the belief
that it may be valuable and accepta-
BILE to many who have suffered in the
same manner as myself"
