WINE From ORANGEs.-The consta Mt
Iy extending ravages Of the phylloxera
have induced the inhabitants Of certain
wine growing countries to consider from
what fruit might be obtained product
which, by appearance, taste, and bouquet
would most resemble the juice of the
grape. Experiments have been made, and
the fact has been established that the Il
quid extracted from the orange would con
stitute resource on which to fall back.
The first trials made showed that the
oranges when they have attained their full
development, are unfit for the purpose pro-
posed, and they must be selected, not
when they have become quite mature and
superabound in the sugary principle, but
before they are wholly ripe and still possess
an appreciable amount Of citric and ma'ic
acids. At present. four different sorts Of
wines have been obtained from that fruit.
One called imperinI, and dry wine, are
produced in January with the fruit of the
season; another, the mandarin, is furnished
by the orange gathered in April. These
three sorts have color pleasing to the
eye, are perfectly trans|ucid. have an
agreeable SAVIOR, with slight tinge OF
acidity, and an alcoholic richness of abon:
Is per cent. As to the fourth, a sparkling
wine prepared by special process, it pos
sesses little more than IL per cent. Of al
cohol. However, the experiments made
hitherto are still too insufficient. and the
methods Of fabrication too rud!mentary
for the article to be placed upon the mark
ct. Besides, another very important qnes.
ton arises, viz, if every success is obtained
in the production. can sufficient quantity
Of the fruit be procured to replace the
grape, and, if so, what will be the relative
cost of wine from the vine and the orange?
Doubtless, attention once turned in tina
direction, we shall be provided with some
sort Of liquor, probably Of excellent quail
ty, but we vastly doubt whether the orange
or any other fruit can ever compete with
the grape.

BANANAS AS FooD.-To us, bananas,
are tropical luxury, eaten and enjoyed as
such; but they are a staple article of food
in some parts Of the world; and, according
to Humboldt an acre o. bananas will pro-
duce as much food for man as twenty
five acres Of wheat. 1t is the ease with
which bananas are grown that is the great
obstacle to civilization in some tropical
countries. 1t is SO easy to get living
without work that no effort will ever bs
made, and the men become lazy and intol-
erably shiftIess. All that is needed is to
stick cutting into the ground. 1t will
ripen its fruit in twelve or thirteen months,
without further care, each plant having
from seventy five to one hundred aud
seventy five bananas;'and when that dies
down, after fruiting, new shoots spring up
to take its place. In regions where no
frost ever reaches, bananas are found in all
stages Of growth, ripsning their fruit every
day and month in the year. II Florida,
bananas are entepsivey grown.

A Surprised Physician.

A Dying Patient Receivers through the In
terposition OF q Humble Gentleman.-Some
weeks ago DIR. IT, very reputable and
widely-known physician. living on c.
street. was called to attend very coinpli-
Gated case OF Rheumatlsm; Upon arriving at
the house he found a man about forty years
OF age, lying in Frustrated and serious con-
dition, with his whole frame dangerously af-
fected with the painful disease. He pre-
scrlbed for the patient, but the man continu-
ed to grow worse, and on Sunday evening he
was found to be in a very alarming condition
The knees and elbows and larger joints were
greatly intlamed and could not be moved
1t was only with extreme difficulty that the
patient could be turned in bed, with the aid
OF three or tour persons. The weight OF the
clothing was so oppressive that means had
to be adopted to keep it from the person.
body.
The doctor saw that his assistance would
be of no avail, and left the house, the mem-
bers of the family following him to the door,
weeping. At this critical hour, nelghbor,
poor humble german shoemaker, appeared
to the griet-smitten ones as saving angel.
He had heard of the despair OF the family,
and now asked them to try his remedy, and
accordingly brought forth bottle OF 81. ia
coBs On. As drowning man will catch at
straws, so the poor wife applied this remedy:
she had no hope, but would try anything, as
a matter Of duty The first application eased
the patient very much; after few hours they
used it again, and, wonder oil wonders. the
pain vanished entirely Every subsequent
application improved the sufferer, and in
two days he was well and out. When the
doctor called a few days after, he was indeed
surprised; for, instead of a corpse, he found
q new-made man.-kxchangc.

cutting down the salaries of the coun-

bills (see Herald; by refusing appro-
priations to towns, reducing their own
bills, smoking cent cigars, and lastly
by going thirsty. We appreciate

A Horrible Accident.

On Monday afternoon man named
VIM. Stock, living in the town OF
Troy. met with a singular accident
which deprived him of life. The
facts as near as we can aeertain are as
follows: He was engaged IN opening
Il stone quarry, and had taken out the
earth from under a ledge of rock for
several feet. At the time of the acct
dent he was engaged in scraping the
earth from off the top of this ledge
with team. The horses evidently
became frightened. and springing ov-
er the edge of the ledge, carried him
with them. Their weight detached
large quantity of e,rth and stones,
which fell upon him. literally burying
him alive. He was alone at the time.
and when found life was extinct.
Another suppoSition is. that he was
returning home, and that his wagon
tipped over and preeipitated HIM over
the ledge. lie had his lines fastened
about his waist, and when found the
horses were still attached to his body.
Stock was a former resident of this
city. where he was employed as a
stone mason. He leaves a wife to
mourn his horrible death. Hudson
