AMERICAN WINES ABROAD.
from the London Times.l


The E0alitt (Marseilles speaking of the prospects
of American vintagcs says that the wines produced
in North America have generally been made from the
grape Of the v. Labrusca, the least valuable Of all
American vnes and that their remarkable flavor has
prevented them from gaining any position in the est
nation of connosseurs. The wines of South America
however, promise much better results. That pro-
duced from the variety or family known as Estiva
lis has lately improved greatly in quality. and
likely to enter into general consumption The Cor
ditolia has produced good wine; the Elvira is de
clared to be "equal to the best rim ordtndrs of
French vineyards;" the Cunningham Is q white wine
which. with special care may be made as good as
the best white Roussillon The Jacquez. Black July.
and Cythiana yield wine of ordinary quality, Of
deep color, and free from any peculiar flavor. Tie
Herbemont is light. alcoholic wine. which will
make an excellent dinner wine The Clinton has
less delicacy and strange flavor, which may, how
ever be cured by careful fermentation and by cul-
tvation. Ali American wines are said to he i'm
proved by mixing several kinds of grapes and though
French vintages said to be beyond reach of
any serious competition from this quarter il is ad-
mitted that wines produced the other side of the
Atlantic will, with careful preparation day merit
q high place among wines for ordinary consumption.
The Labrusca wine sells in the United States
for 2OOf to 25ot s to E10 per hectoitre Twenty-Five
gallons and the production is about G0O000 hecto-
litres. half OF which is grown in California.

NJ. wApDINGToNs SIGNIFICANT SPEECH IN THE
FRENCH SENATE
London Standards Paris letter of Dec. 15.l
statement of the present position OF France as
regards Eastern affairs was made by NJ Waddngton
in the Senate yesterday in reply to question from
NJ de Gontaut-Eron. The following is full report
OF the salient parts--
! regard the Berlin Treaty as transaction which
WILL believe, last longer than is supposed, but
which, however is yet exposed to many more dan
gers. We are convinced that il anybody departs
not completely carried out. the whole Of Europe
may lind itself again in face of formidable perils.
This is Why we think that the interest OF peace
Is involved in the highest degree III the COM
plete execution by all parties Of the Treaty of
Berlin. There have been various sides lurking de-
sires to 90 something else. to do less than
the treaty intended do: but all the Cabinets
and statesmen of Europe, all who had something to
succession have ended in acknowledging that there
was only one course to follow which did not COM
promise the peace of Europe, and that the
omnatcral execution OF the treaty.
NJ Waddington then touched on the Greek ques-
ton. He said that the protectorate of Greece had
always been traditional III the policy of France. 1t
was, therefore. the duty of France not to abandon
that Power. The Foreign Minister went to de-
velop the reasons which had imposed that policy
on France He reminded the House that when the
crown OF Greece was proposed to King Leopold His
Majesty refused it, saying that he could not sc-
cept that throne SO long Greece did not possess
proper and adequate frontiers. III. Waddington con-
tinued:-
1--WE demand what King Leopold demanded. In
solving the question of Greece shall relieve the
Eastern question OF of its principal Of
danger. The Porte, moreover is greatly interested
in this affair"
The Foreign Minister after promising to pub
lish the correspondence on this point soon as
the negotiations admitted Of it, concluded fol-
lows:-
"What declare at is that the French gov
ernment has taken its precautions that the assist
ance Of France shall not be isolated and that the
haa in tha hall hQ
continued. We shall act with the assistance of all
the Powers. 1t will be collective action of Europe
under the initiative of France. Hence can reassure
the Senate and the country that Europe has conf
dence in us.'

GAS-LIT BUOYS.
from the Pail Mall Gazette.

From the Pail Mall Gazettel
That the buoys which mark channels and wrecks
are sometimes destroyed or displaced by vessels
running along the coast dark nights is well known
After two trials of lighted buoys. therefore. the
Trinity Board have resolved upon sending buoy of
which the lantern can be kept continuously burning
to station of Dundee The first OF these
trials took place in August last at the
Trinity Wharf, when the light lasted uninter
ruptedly for twenty-eght days. Water pumped
upon it from steam engine, to what would be
the effect of the shock and drenchng. and no harm
was done. The buoy then sent down to the
More, and there burned steadily for twenty
days. The same buoy has now left London for its
appointed place Dundee. Provision has
been made for keeping it alight without
any interference for thirty-four days. 1t is .
buoy OF most awkward construction; but this does
not lessen its usefulness, and others are being
skilfully made to receive the same illuminating ap
paratus. This is q modification of what is known
Pintsch's compressed gas system, which was first
the buoy itself the recipient for containing the
compressed gas, with its regulator (Which is ono
of the most Important points Of the invontion) and
the lantern at the top Of short conducting tube
buoy of ordinary size will burn about three months
night and day with only one filing and the light
is visible at distance of about four
miles. There is, however, in existence an
electric lighting apparatus which might be employed,
that the light could be extinguished at sunrise and
restored ut night, giving, of course, much longer
duration to the working of the buoy. 1t will be in
teresting the result OF this experiment as the
Of the scheme would be boon to navigation
