The Rheims Chamber of Commerce
publishes returns of the quantity of
sparkling wines made in the department
of Marine during the twelve months end
ing April l, 1875. In that period 15,-
31S,345 bottles of champagne were ex-
ported, and 3.517 1872 bottles were sold
for consumption in France. The Cham
Der of Commerce calculates that the
average price Per bottle. delivered at the
nearest railway station, is sixty cents,
and it does not require very large ex-
perience of hotels, rests urants, and wine
merchants lists to see that there is a
very wide margin between this price and
that paid by consumers in general. As
an appendix to the returns, it is added
that everything used in the production
of the wine, from the grapes themselves
to the bottles, corks, wire, string, the foil
paper, and the label, as also the cases
and the hampers in which the wine is
packed, is grown or manufactured in
France.

SOMETHING LEFT UNDONE.
BY TONY.

Sitting thinking at close OF day.
The red fires burning fast away,
OF all words spoken, and those not,
OF all things done, and all forgot;
In sight of these my strivings seem
Vain as the rising tides bright gleam,
That ever strives higher to reach,
But never flows beyond the beach;
Aud always with the setting sun
There's ever something left undOne.
mingle with the festive throng,
And with light heart and happy song
try to vile the hours away,
To lose my sadness and be gay.
watch the fleeting, dancing feet,
l list to words that might be sweet,
But with the last enhancing strain
My soul asks me, " Where is thy gain ?r
l know that with the days short run
There's something lett that's all undone.
The hours, the days, the weeks go by,
Deep SHOWS over the daisies lie:
Each fading sun brings me the thought,
What to Thee have this day brought?
My heart is heavy in my breast,
WITH the dead flowers long to rest
But with the spring-time's joyous glow
gain courage my way to go,
And pray with earnest heart to One
That nothing may leave undone.
As Ger my head the years pass by,
And Ger my brow their sorrows fly,
i may look back and view them not
With vain regret, but thank my lot
That it was granted me to do
What best l might, and what knew
Was mine to finish; and the rest
For those who it might do the best.
And may know what 1 begun
Is at the last by me well done.

THE CROSSROADS,

Where the roads crossed we met,
My love and L;
In the near bay the ships
Tossed heavily.
Lamps were gone out on earth,
But those in heaven
Trembled for two more hearts
That God hath riven.
His accents broke the pause
My tongue was tied;
He found last words to say
My sobs replied.
Then he drew my white face
Up to the light
And said: " Farewell, poor lovel
Dear love, good night"
At the crossroads we kissed
/ stood alone.
His was the seaward road,
Mine led me home.
He called, 1 shall return!"
knew !" not so;"
Not one in ten returns
OF those that go.
Dreary the great world grew,
And the sun cold;
So young an hour ago,
had grown old.
Our God made me for him;
We loved each other;
Yet fate gave him one road,
Aku me the other.

LIEUT. CAMERON, the Academy says,
will probably arrive in England in the
middle of January. His splendid ex-
plot places him, without dispute, in the
very first rank of African travellers. He
left Ujii almost destitute, suffering from
disease, and utter loneliness. Against
him were the stupendous difficulties of
the task on his side were indomitable
pluck, devotion to duty, and that gentle
courage which had already earned for
him the respect and love of the natives.
There will be no stories of bloodshed in
the narrative of this gallant naval officer.
A glance at map of Africa will at
once show the magnitude of Cameron's
achievement, and the importance of his
discoveries. Excepting Livingstone and
Silva Porto, he is the only European who
ever crossed the Continent of Africa
within the tropics.

THIRTY-NINE years ago, on the morn
ing of the battle of San Jaeinto, Paul de
Ponei, a sutler in the Mexican army,
buried his loose cash beneath clump of
bushes on the bank of a neighboring
bayou. Then he fit into the war" and
was captured. A month ago he landed
at Galveston, hired schooner, sailed up
to San Jacinto and hunted up the battle
field. After search of two days he
struck the right locality and found his
treasure amounting to 81 800 in Mexican
gold, undisturbed. 1t is proper to add
that the original bushes had grown to
be tall trees, though nothing like as tall
as the story.

WHEREAS, before the war Berlin had
two hundred French artisans, it has now
twenty-four hundred. They are mostly
stucco workers, carpenters, tapisseurs and
designers, and are in request for their
taste and punctuality, Prince Won Pless
employs French workmen exclusively,
sixty in number, in the erection of his
new Renaissance mansion, the architect
being NJ. Detailleur, of Paris, who is now
being consulted as to the fittings and fur
niture. A large portion of the aristoc-
racy send their orders to Paris, being
better and more cheaply supplied there
than in Berlin. The French workmen
earn from 81. to 20f. day, and are very
thrifty. They muster every Saturday
night at particular cafe.

GERMANY has stopped building iron
clads-partly because money is scarce in
the Imperial treasury, but mainly "on
account of the Emergencies of opinion
among naval architects in regard to the
best model for war vessels" England,
on the contrary, is still trying iron-clad
experiments at the rate of $4,000, 600
apiece, and has not made single success
yet. When she does, Germany and the
United States will reap the benefit there
of free of cost.

GOVERNOR EMERY, of Utah, in his
message to the Territorial Legislature,
approached the subject of polygamy
with some delicacy, in consequence of
the fact that all the members of the body
addressed, except one, believe in the
slcredness of the institution. He begged
to remind them, however, that Utah is
within the pale of Christian civilization,
as well as of the American government,
and that their practice is blot upon
the fair name of the country. His re-
marks were not applauded.

A subterrauenU Lake Of Boil
ing Water.

Saws the Enterprise, OF Virginia
City, Nevada: The recent remark
able discoveries Of ores and miner
AIS of varions kinds made in the
neighborhood of SteamhoatSprings,
are causing a considerable amount
of speculation in regard to what
may underlie that region Mt no very
great depth. Some who have been
Illuminating on the matter, are 81
the opinion that under crust Of
two o. three hundred feet in thick
ness there exists a large lake Of
boiling water, while others believe
that at about the same depth below
the surface all is fire, and red-hot,
molten rocks.
Those who advance the first
mentioned theory, say that the min
erals contained in the water Of the
boiling lake first formed crust
around the shores, and this grew
as ice grows upon pond in win
ter, till connections covered the
whole of the water except spout
holes here and there. Through
these spout holes steam and water
were forced up. and TINS thickness
was gradually added to the crust,
covering the snbterranean lake =
They think that this lake may ex-
tend under greater part Of the
Trnckee meadows, as some years
ago, on the occasion Of severe
earthquake, all the land, both in
Steamboat Valley and Truck Q
meadows, was rolled and tossed like
he waves of the ocean.
Those who believe that there is
fire somewhere far down in the
bowels Of the earth. say that beds
Of iron pyrites are necessary to
produce (bv their decomposition)
the combustion. aui all below must
he solid, or at least there Is no body
~ hot water Of such extent that Il
could he called n lave They a'so
say that there ran be no lake, be-
cause IN certain places there rush
mp strong blasts or columns Of hot,
dry air or gases, which must come
from a point where there Is FIRE, or
at least great heat, but no water,
as no. steam is mingled with the
gases.
In places to the westward of the
present springs, where men have
been engaged prospecting for sul-
phur, IL is found that at the. depth
Of three or four feet the rock Is
quite hot, aud the sulphur in some
OF the beds is so hot. when first
opened upon, that IL cannot be held
in the hand. This great heat, at
point so far from the present active
springs, is what has given the min
ers the idea that a lake Of boiling
water underlies the whole region.
