good list of cotton and cotton seed.
She was delayed on oceount Of the

mail and doing all way business. She
makes direct connection at Glendale
with the Mobile and Northwestern

Wines.
Gentleman's Maga1ine.l

uehtleman = MhgaAine.I
So profound ignorance exists in
England on the subject Of the names
applied to wines, that it seems worth
while to state a few facts, a knowl-
edge of which will prevent the diner
out from %grieyous blunders of speech.
On the carte of a restaurant it is
common to see Claret, Bordeaux and
Medoc, all used as though they de-
noted something different. Medoc is
the name Of district in France. 1t
is a peninsula in the shape ofa cone,
the base of which extends from the
basin Of Arcachon almost to Bor-
deaux, while the two sides are washed
respectively by the Atlantic and the
river Gironde, and the extreme point
is the Pointe de Grave. 1t is the ex-
tremity of the district known as Les
Landes. Here is grown almost
the whole of the fine wines
which in England pass by the
name Of Claret-a name never used for
such purpose in France. 1t has a
tight, gravelly or stony soil, exactly
suited to the vine, the roots of which
penetrate to an extraordinary depth.
The soil of the famous vineyard of
Chateau Margaux consists Of little
else except pebbles. In speaking of
Medoc wine, then, you include the
four highest class wines-Chateau La
fife, Chateau Margaux, Chateau La
tour and Chateau Haut- Bion. with
scores of vintages scarcely less re-
nowned, like MOulon, the LOvilles,
Graud Larnes, Pichon Longueville
Cos d'Estourrel. Chateau Baskerville
Pontet Canet, etc., etc. Englishmen
then, should remember that the
term Medoc is scarcely less gen
eric than that of Bordeaux.
the former being taken from the dis.
trict in which the wine is grown, the
latter from the place Of shipment.
Subdivisions follow, and are taken
from different communes, as Barsac,
Branne, Cautenac, Margaux, Pontiac.
Saint Emilion, Saint Estephe, Sauter.
mes, and so forth. A further subdi.
vision is Of course afforded by the
individual vineyard. A Leoville Las.
cases, or a Moutsn, is thus first, a VIII
de Bordeaux, as the French would
call it, or a Claret, as from a notion o
color, we term it in England. 1t il
next from the district, a Medoc, or VII
de Medoc. 1t might also be called
Pouillac. from the cannon in which
it is; then, from the commune, i
is a Saint ulien de Reignac. Lastly
it has its special name. When frs
E~nglishmen took to drinking a clare
that cost less than ten shillings a bot
tie, which in my youth was asked a
every hosel, the hotel-keeper intro
duced a cheaper wine, which receive,
the generic name of Saint Julien, be
ing as much entitled, in the majorit
of instances, to be so-called as to b
styled Falenian. Again and again
have heard, in youth, the question
What wine will you take-port,s herr
or Saint Julien2 Thus one of tn
noblest of wines came to stand for th.
thinnest, and often the sourest q
%clarets. To this day a prejudice ex
lists against Saint Julien in conse
quence of the misuse of terms.

Letter to the Pittsburg Post.l
Patti is lame in one leg, Mr.. f. in
his quaint way thus broadly states it
he don't confine it either to a limb or
a branch. This gives her, he says. a
rolling gait like a sailor and makes the
folks think she is half seas over when
in fact she isn't. She can't sing with
in five hours after she eats her dinner;
Ergo-when she is to sing she dimes
at three, otherwise at six. She often
drinks ginger beer and %claret, but
won't touch hop juice even when it
can be had at three cents a schooner.
