TREADING IN THE WINE PRES

THREADING IN THE WINE PRESS.
[san Francisco Chronicle, Italian Letter. ]
In the vineyards near us the girls
mounted on ladders and clipped the rich
punches, dropping them into baskets.
The. way these girls displayed their
brown ank les might shock people on
your side Of the water. But, bless you,
there is no evil in the eye here. With
industrious workers, one day is enough
to clear an average vineyard. When
the grapes are all gathered in, they are
carefully picked from the stems for The
pressing. This last process is the same
primitive, simple operation that was
performed by the patriarch Noah. The
grapes are thrown into an enormous vat,
where the juice is trampeled out of them
by the bare feet of the peasants. Al
this stage of the vintage you may see
hundreds of the young ladies of the city
early morning, beamlug with pleasant
mystery and excitement Your ordinary
tourist, whose only intellectual and in
structive pabum is gathered from the
guide books, has not the remoJest CON-
ceptIon of their object. He may think
they are out for an early constitutional.
But early constitutioDals are not the
rage with Italian ladies'. Shall l tell you
the secret of all that mystery and excite
ment? They are to the country to tread
in the wine presses. 1t is a novel holi-
day for them. besides being most salu-
tary exercise. Even prim old dowagers
are known to "wade in" and Danish the
rheumatism by half days exercise In
the wine press. Apart from the health

acts as a bath to the limbs, while the
uprising fumes are considered eminently
stomachic. After the treading perform
ance these ladies wash themselves In no,
wine, taking moderate decocuon ins
ternally for the stomach's sake. The
effect Is pleasant and rej uvenating, and
is especially noticeable In the vim with
which they participate in the dance

The report is going the rounds
of the press that a gentleman who
once occupied an official position
at the white house says that the
celebrated civil service order No. !
was written by Secretary Schurz,
and that IL was at the white house
for two weeks, in one of the draw

Mr. Hayes acted upon it, and that
he only did sign it at the urgent
request of it's author, Mr.. Schurz,
who on the very day it was pro-
mulgated asked for an exception
to its provisions. The order has
been so VIGOROUSLY disregarded, that
there are but few instances where
it has been enforced, and that in
the case of postmasters. One o.
this kind will confront the presi'

The wired old president of n
Connecticut bank is known among
the younger financial fry Of his
town as "Old Nails" possibly from
his incisive decisions and driving
way of doing business. Sometime
ago a bushes man of the place,
and a brother in good standing Of
the church, had a note discount
ed at this old worthy's bank; when
it became due, the president at
the solicitation of the makers
friends, though against is his own
Judgment, extended it; when the
final time of payment came the
note was discovered TO be forgery,
to the scandal of the church and
the establishment of the town, but
not to that of the sstutc president.
The brethren, however, rallied
around the erring one, the note
was paid, and the matter supposed
to be hushed up. Some time after,
however, the bank received letter
from another financial institution,
asking opinion as to Mr.. 5
note.
"Old Nails" said he would an
swer the letter, which he did, as
follows -
President - Bank,
Dear sir In regard to Mrs
note we would say, if it is forgery
it will be paid by the first =
church, of Busytown. If it is
genuine it is not worth -.

The Enchanted Pin.

Some tricks in "Parlor Magic
printed in juvenile publications,
are very amusing as well as very
simple. "The Enchanted Pm" for
ipstance. To perform this trick
you take a common brass pin, such
as a man sometimes uses to fasten
his shirt collar when the button
flies off. To satisfy your audience
that the pin doesn't contain false
bottom, let them have it in their
hands to inspect. This will con-
vince them that there is no decep-
ton about it. Now, bend the pin
in two places-frst, about one
third from head, and second, the
same distance from the point, SC
that the business end will project
upward. Again show the pin to
your sudience, in order to satisfy
them that it is the same pin, only
bent-bent on mischief. Now
place the pin on a hard-bottom
chair, aud when a late visitor en-
tiers invite him to sit on the chair
The effect will be magical. If the
ceiling is not more than ten feet
from the floor, the probabilities are
that the man will arise so spontane'
ously that his head will make a
dent in it. This innocent little
trick never fails TO amuse the au,
dience, and if such amusements re-
ceived more encouragements in the
domestic circle there would be
fewer poems written asking" Whert
is my boy to-nightf Z"

According to the elaborate statement
Of the Chicago Tribune, the pork pack
ers of that city cut up during the year
just ended 4,969,9n hogs Of the 1864, 900
hogs produced by the entire West.
The Tribune, in the course OF its review
OF the pork trade, says:
The Southern demand was only mod
crate, and, as packers in some of the
adjacent cities anticipated a large in
crease in the packing Of the West and
slight chances of values improving, they
were more willing to sell their product
at current prices than were those in
more Northern cities, especially at Chi
cago, where the inquiry from other
sources was sufficient to attract the at
tention OF manufacturers and maintain
the usual activity Ill the trade. Orders
from the interior towns OF the South,
excepting for green hams, have gener-
ally been for small quantities of such
articlt J as were needed to supply imme-
diate Wants-mainly smoked meats and
dry salted short rib sides. The inquiry
from the extreme South-New Orleans
and Mobile-has been quite liberal and
the shipments to that section OF country
were larger than usual during the win
ter season, including considerable old
pork. The demand from the New Eng
land and Middle States has been fair,
though the depression among the labor
ing classes in those sections during the
past two years has made the merchants
cautious in their movements, and the
majority of aheir purchases indicate
that they are pursuing very conserva-
tive course-taking only sufficient GUAM
titles as needed to supply the wants Of
their retail trade. The demand from
Canada and the lumber districts was
about equal that Of past seasons-orders
chiefly for the heavier qualities OF mess
pork. ....a ....-.
