crystal, eye it lovingly, yet with a
soft regret, for we shall look upon
its like no more. Madeira is gone,
and claret must follow, to the limbo
of the lost. Already, from the
frontier of Italy to the borders of
Spain, they are tearing up the use
less vines, and preaching the walls
of long-respected vineyards. Hot
Languedic, sunny Provence, are
now as bare of their most cherished
crop as are the blackest plains of
Cologne or the widest heath in
Brittany. And the vine-plague
spreads and spreads, unchecked,
unstemmed, by all that industry
and science can effect. How serious
is the evil can be measured only by
the recollection that 100000
French depend for daily bread on
the now perished vine. The cause
of all this mischief is a little insect
of American origin, which is re-
puted to have been accidentally
brought over to Paris by the Accli-
nation Society. Be this as it may,
that terrible importation, the phyl-
loxera, has fixed its habitant but too
firmly in the country Of its adop-
ton. 1t devours tender branch
and slender stem,green leaf and juicy
tendril; and having lived for bill.
! lions of generations on the wild vines
Of the transatlantic forest, it has
come at last to flesh its microscopic
teeth on the nascent vintage OF
plants, the mellow life-b blood oI
which has mantled in the golden
goblets Of old kings and the silver
hanaps Of mighty merchants Of
long ago. Natures own open-ail
laboratory, whence came the coo
claret of our grandfathers, the con
tents of the cob-webbed msgnum
the "yellow seal" and the =" greer
seal of Meg Dods, and similar
old fashioned landladies, cannot ba
out the American invader, anC
must yield, body and soul, to tn
inroads of the imperious insect.

1t is related that when John Nor
rissey was elected to congress, and
Colfax was speaker, Morrissey,
knowing Colfax's liking for a good
cigar, difidently approached the
door Of the speakers room in the
capitol building one day, but drew
back when he saw that a number
of other members were inside. At
length the last visitor having de-
parted, John timidly ventured in.
Colfax received him with a kindly
open hand. "You like good cigars,
Mr.. Oolfax?" blurted out bluntly
Mr.. Morrissey. Mr.. Oolfax smiled
with an affirmative melton of the
head. "Will you please accept
from me a box Of the very best
Havanas ever landed in this coun-
try?"
III would dellgnC me exceed
ingly, Mr.. Morrissey, to receive it"
"Pll send two Of them to your
house this afternoon. "0h, Mr..
Morrissey, you are too generous.
Mr.. Morrissey played with his fin
gers a while, and then blurted out
again: "Mr. Celfax, ! have a favor
to ask Of YOU" Colfax started,
alarmed, but asked: " And, pray,
what is it, Mr.. Morrissey 2" "Why,
you are just now making up your
committees, and l would like to
have you, if you will, put me on
one where I'll have nothing to do"
Colfax, relieved, Smilingly gave
assurance that the desire should be
grati6ed. And Mr.. Morrissey was
made chairman Of the committee
on revolutionary pensions"
