MANUFACTURERS of champagne
have began to advance their prices.
A firm in Ay announce that they will
henceforth charge $3.50 more the case.
The deficient yields of the last three
years have rendered this inevitable, and
it is not unlikely that champagne will
cost considerable more for several
years to come. The frosts of last
spring were uncommonly destructive to
the vines, but the small crop of grapes
that survived will yield, it is said, wine

twenty pages, that is one hundred and
twenty columns, of which seventy
eight were advertisements and forty
two reading matter. The Herald
says:
"a detail which will be perfectly
new to non professionals is, that to
produce one hundred and fifty thou

nine hundred and fifty thousand i'm

two Bullock psrfecting presses, were
kept rolling off at the rate Of one

huge presses two large engines of
eighty horse power were kept in mo-

ten furnaces. To form the stereotype

type metal were used TO cast one hun

when finished and dressed, thirty eight

A man in Greenfield, whom we will
call William, got up the other morning
and proceeded to put on shirt which
his wife had just made for him after
new pattern.
AS she stood at the mirror curling
her hair, she heard a suppressed sound
halfway between a grOan and an oath,
and turning round said, laughing:
"Why, my dcar!'
"Shut up!' he calculated. "You
are born fool. Never let a woman
attempt to fit shirt; it is one of the
impossibilities.
"But William" deprecatingly.
"Dont yow talk-let me talk. Do
you think am going down town in
this rig? A pretty disposition you've
got; just because happened to find a
little fault last week with your ironing,
you must go and make me a shirt with
out bosom! Such malicious conduct,
madam, is objectionable. Shut up,
say! l won't hear a word. When a
starched shirt front is the only fnery
that man INDUCES in, is he not ex-
cusable for being particular in regard
to that, should like to know? And
this thing sits ike the GeOet! LOOK
how baggy it is here in front, and it
feels behind as if there was board
bound across me'-walking up and
looking in the glass, hitching up first
one shoulder and then the other, after
the indescribable manner Of man try
ing new garment.
His wife dared not speak, but bring
ing a good-sized mirror from the mex
room, she held it up behind him for q
moment; and perceiving by his chop
fallen expression that he saw the point
and the front, she ran down stairs tc
settle the coffee, and see that Bridget
! had set the table geometrieally.
AS William walked down to his Of
fee that morning, lie said 90 the frs
friend that he met:
81 tell you, Tom, that little wife o
5 mine is born genius. Look ct this
2 shirt, now; she cut and made it all her
; self. Do you see, it's open behind, nc
confounded button-hole to bother
: fellow. just send your wife up 70
e the pattern"
And it was by the way of Tom
wife that Lizzie first knew that William
: was pleased with his shirts.

A Minnesota Girrs Little Trick.

Another of those devices that some
females are so full OF has come TO light.
A young lady of Hutchinson, who is
fair to middling in looks, puts on a
good deal of style, and would like to
be popular, and who dwells in a house
that, while it is decent and respectable
is not grand, had the luck some time
since to receive an introduction to q
stranger who hailed from a neighbor-
ing town. It was at church that she
was made acquainted with him, and he
asked tc see her home. She accepted
and they started. It occurred to her
as they walked onward that after what
she had said it would hardly do to en-
ter her humble dwelling, for the lad
might think she was not what she
seemed. A few houses distant from
hers stands a fne-looking residence,
before which she halted. He, not be-
ing acquainted with Hutchinson or her,
supposed, of course, that every thing
was all right, and left the gate with
bright visions dancing through his
brain, while she hid behind the stoop
until he got out of sight, and then
went home happy Huthinson
