The Paris correspondent of the New York
Times writes: During the past few years the
Parisians have taken to the habit OF visiting
Suresnes during the vintage, not only to wit
ness the curious spectacle of the Uendangeurs
ut their work, but for the prosaic object Of
taking purge. When the juice of the grape
is first pressed out, before fermentation has
fairly begun, the effect OF the wine is like
that produced by sweet cider when taken IN
considerable quantities as it comes from the
press. Three or four glasses of new wine
have the medicinal effect required, and its
action is not accom- panied by the collie or
cramps produced by most Of the purgative
waters of Europe Indeed, the effect pro-
duced is similar to that of a good dose OF cas-
tor oil, and ut the same time the medicine is
very agreeable to the palate.
Thousands of persons have great faith in
this sweet wine cure, and not for the world
would they miss their annual visit to the
wine-pressss of SuIesnes as soon as the vim
tage is officially opened. All who try 1t ex-
press themselves in enthusiastic terms re-
garding the good effects of this species OF
cure, and while should not like to take the
responsibility of recommending it, there may
be some doctors who would think 1t worth
while sending certain class of patients here
by way of experiment. The grape cure which
is pretty much the same thing, has become
exceedingly popular, and Prince Gortschakotf
has found it so efficacious in his case that he
tries it every year. By going from place to
place the cure can be continued for nearly
month, as the vintage opens at different dates
in the different sections.

Southern Iron.

IFrom the Charleston (S CO. News and Courier. ]
There has been steady development in
this industry since the war, and the great
mineral State of the South, Alabama, now
freely boasts of being the chief seat in the
Southern States of the manufacture OF hot
blast charcoal iron, her furnaces being stu
ated on the Selma, Dalton and Rome Railroad,
from which point shipments to England have
been made and sold at CT to e8 per ton.
Specimens from other mines, which have been
sent forward, are classed by the prominent
English manufacturers as "Best best" while
the highest grade of iron is only "Best best
best"
This iron trade is furnishing steady en-
ployment to many hundred native whites and
blacks, and good many English, Scotch and
Swedes, who are building up the South, in
creasing the mining of hard coal and using
annually millions of bushels of charcoal burnt
in the forests near the mines Charcoal cost
ing 6 to cents and coke 8 to 10 cents. the
South must furnish a very considerable part
of the 100000 tons of iron made in the
United States This is indicated by the num-
Der of furnaces now in blast and projected,
in South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia,
Tennessee and Alabama.

INCREASED DEMAND FOR MoNEY.-The New
York Post of the 10th, under its money head,
says:
s'The bank statement gives further but not
unexpected evidence of the increased trade
demand for money. The New York banks
have now furnished over So 000, 600 legal ten
der currency in the past two weeks to the
West and South, to facilitate the movement of
crops The local loans have been expanded
during the week 81, $685. 600, showing the in
creased mercantile demand for bank accom-
mediation here, the Stock Exchange demand
having been small and, as compared with
former weeks, decreasing The specie aver
age has changed but little, fact which shows
that the syndicate settlements have not dis
turbed the gold market, the gold in that mar
ket being represented by what's in the banks.
Analysing the statement we find that the
total reserve has fallen 81, l73, 200, and the
surplus reserve SO, 500, 375, the amount Of the
latter now being reduced to S5,709, 300. I'm
less the course of the money market is to
eontravene all past experience, this low re-
serve will cause an early if not immediate ad-
vance in the rates for loans.

Southern Crops.


The very favorable reports concerning the
condition of Southern crops are a cause for
general congratulation. The irony of the fol-
lowing article on the subject from the Nation
newspaper will be appreciated:
The news from the South continues to be
economically satisfactory. Everything points
now to cotton crop of some four and half
million bales, the largest ever raised; and
when we reflect upon the annoying circum-
stances which have surrounded Its plant
ing and cultivation, we can not but feel that
the croakers and cynics who are always pre-
dieting evil to our country know little about
her resources or capabilities
At the North we are accustomed to inter.
ruptions OF industrial or agricultural opera
tons from strikes, lockouts, and other diff
culties between employers and employed, but
we can probably form from these but slight
estimate OF the embarrassment attending the
production of large cotton crop while the
wholesale slaughter of the laboring popula-
ton by their employers is going on. In Ala
bama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, and
most Of the other cotton States, the brutal
and ignorant whites have been chiefly occu
pied during the most critical periods Of the
past cotton year in hunting down and massa-
creing the faithful blacks. Congressional
committees have found the soil OF the South
strewn with corpses, and the United States
was forced TO do something to save
the crop by recognizing the Legislature
of Louisiana. Slaughtered as he has beer,
however, the faithful negro has dragged him
self back to the cotton field, and hoed and
planted and picked without murmur. There
are few more touching instances than this on
record of the force of habit and attachment to
the occupations of the past. As an economi-
cal feat the production of the crop of this
year is probably unsurpassed, and it is curl
GUS to notice how strikingly the'present condi-
ton of the South has been depicted in the
lines Of the New England poet (Which have
been thought SO unintelligible) exposing the
absurdi.y Of the "red slayer" who "thinks
he Stays" and the slain if he "thinks he be
slain"

The Loudouu Mirror says: From the best
information We can gather from farmers and
others who have given the matter attention,
We do not think that either the fruit or grow
iug crops have been seriously injured by the
late cold weather. The wheat and grass have
been, very naturally, looking rather blue, but
the delightful rain which commenced falling

o. the other hand the Clarke Courier says
at is now generally conceded that there will
be great failure 10 the wheat crop in this
county the present year. When the snow aud
ice that covered it disappeared this spring it
was hoped that much of it that appeared win
ter killed would revive, but sufficient time has
elapsed to show that it was destroyed. Many
fields between here aud Winchester are almost
barren, though here and there good field
may be seen. We believe that the crop will
be found 10 worse condition next harvest than
that of 1873, when the yield was fifty per cent
below the average
