Purity and Patriotism.
California Wines.

Our people, we regret to say, are
wont to regard with suspicion any ma
tive product, and to accept without
question all things coming from
abroad, hence the wine dealers of all
Europe consider this country their
market for the disposal of wines and
liquors they would not dare to offer
to the home trade. An opportunity
now offers to obtain purity and prove
patriotism by testing the quality of
the liquors, wines especially, the pro-
duct of CaIifornia's vineyards, whic b
are for sale by the firm of M. Keller &
Co., Nos. "a, 26 and % South Fifteen
tn street, Philadelphia. This is new
enterprise, the establishment in this
city having been open about month.
The firm, however, have been long
and favorably known as pioneers in
the California wine-grOwing business,
and have an immense establishment
in Los Angeles, California. Messrs.
Keller & Co. are the pr0prietors of the
''Rising SUM- and Los Angeles vine-
yards, in Los Angeles county, two of
the best in California.
The establishment in this city Is
most extensive, the firm occupy the
first floor and basement, which cover
an area 100 feet long by 80 feet wide,
and this immense space Is crowded
with a stock of wine as fine as any in
the world, comprising Ports, Sherries,
Angelica, Malvasia, Hook, Reisling,
White Wines, Zinfandel, Ell
Dorado and Madeira, also
brandies made from the same varie-
ties of the grape that produces the
French Cogniac, and these are war
ranted to compare favorably with that
famous liquor. All these are warrant
ed pure, with no Fictitious substance
added. The high reputation of the
house Is guarantee that what they
assert is fact. The liquors can all be
obtained by the gallon or case.
California has been but few years,
comparatively,a "a wine producing coun-
try; it is now represented by from
5000, 600 to 10,0O0,000 gallons of the
best wine in the world, per year. Mr..
Keller has been in the business since
1852, and has therefore watched over
the growth of the California wine in
terest from its first inception. His
partner, Mr.. 7. Mahony, has charge
vi Tile Tuiiduelpuld HOuSe, anu ociu8
equally well acquainted with the bus
iness, under his energetic manage
ment it has already succeeded beyond
the expectations of its founders. We
advise our readers to test the goods Of
this firm by comparison of some of the
imported wines so much boasted, aud
we are assured that their vote will per
force be cast in favor of the native
article. This is the first time that the
vineyardist and wine maker comes in
person among us to guarantee the
purity and genuineness of the goods
he offers. and the effect of this is al
ready apparent in the remarkable sue
cess already attained and the ever in
creasing business of M. Keller & Co.

Is Inebriety on the Increase.

In late number of the Contem- porary ReUieaO, Herbert Spencer combats the idea that inebriety Is on the increase. He describes the time when men took drugs to in crease their appetite for wine; when glasses were so shaped that they had to be beld uotil empty; when a man was reckOned as a 1.-two bottle man." "three- bottle man." etc. ; and when (Mr. Spen- cer might have added) one of the first Scottish nObies employed a domestic whose sole duty it was to sit under the table and loosen the neck cloths of guests as they fell from their chairs, in order that they might not suff0cate in their daunken sleep. It is now Q disgrace, education has driven the evil from one class to another. It is now almost exclusively confined to the lowest. AS MT. Spencer says, the remedy for it in Eng land is not "Maine law" but the introduction of the education that has branded it elsewhere.

Tramps.

The newspapers of the day arc filled with accounts of Outrages by the tide of wanderers distinguish. ed by tn e general name O. "tramps," and all the women and children in lone country houses live in constant fear. In making some call not long since in a country neighbOrhoOo where we have 8 wide circle O acquaintances, we found every door securely fastened, and to Oul rap somebody from within called out, in trembling accents, which they tried hard to make sound brave:
 "WhO's there ?"
 We have no doubt but that the tramp nuisance is a disagreeable and perhaps dangerous evil, but it is one which law ,sand some times the judiciOus use of revol' yer, will restrain, and in time wipe out.
 And we believe that every lady should number target shooting among her accomplishments. We would rather be able to scientifi calIy lay out a burglar by the ap- piication of cold lead, if occasion required, than be classed as pro- ficient in embroidery, or an adept in any kind of fashionable work.
 But as we faithfully read the papers we cannot help being struck by the fact that-judging from the printed accounts-the women of these United States are in much greater danger from their own husbands than they are from tramps.
 We scarcely take up paper in which there is not an account of some atrOcious murder of which a wife is the victim.
 The axe which sewers the head from the baby. the "cOld pOisOn," the deadly bludgeOn, the blazing kerosene, all have lately cOnspired to put wives out of the world.
 Women are abused and beaten by their own husbands quite as much as by tramps, and, if we were tojudge at all from what we hear, we should say that a wo- mana liability of death at the hands of her husband is about twice as great as from the hands of tramps.
 Young girls who are about get ting married, and who dream of nothing but roses and kisses in nuptial life. how would you like having can of kerosene poured on you and set on fire by your loving and protecting husband :
 How would you like to have your head chopped off while you were washing the floor. as an af- fectionate husband chopped of his wife's recently ?
 Does not the prospect frighten you ? Is it not better to be an old maid, and keep cats, and make pinafores for some other Woman's children
 Of course it is; but then who among us, if we were young girls, could be made to see it ?-Kdte Thorn.
