AMERICAN WINES FOR EUROPE.-The

AMERICAN WINES FOR EURoPE.-The
first vessels ever chartered to carry Cali
fornia wines to Europe has just sailed for
Bremen with cargo Of 100000 gallons,
which was ordered by one of the largest
firms in that city, and which is intended
for the German market exclusively. This
seems something like carrying Goals to
Newcastle, until we recollect that by red
son of the phylloxera and other plaques,
the German wine-growers are sadly Grip
pied, and the dealers find it necessary to
import wines from some ether quarter
The San Francisco Chronicle believes
that the experiment is one of great future
moment, and that, if it results successful
ly, as there is every reason to believe will
be the case, an immense market will be
open to our wine-producers. The vint-
ages from which the cargo in question
has been selected are of a character to en-
dure long sea voyage. The experiment
will be watched with much interest, par
ticularly by the wine-growers of Califor
MIA, who have visions of a hundred YES
sells, instead of one, that will annually
take to European ports the rich yield Of
their vineyards.

An EASTER BONNET IN DAEBURY.- -
The new hat got up by one of the Dan
bury's ladies for Easter Sunday was an
elaborate affair, and very bright fancies
were built upon it by the owner. 1t
was stormy Sunday unfortunately, but
the excellent woman thought by com
pletely covering it by heavy veil she
could get it to church without loss to its
glory. She had an old veil that adTnira-
bly, answered the purpose, and this she
donned. She took her accustomed seat
ia the temple of worship and held her
beautifully upholstered head proudly
erect. 1t was perhaps within five min
utes of the close of the sermon when, put
ting up her hand to further attact the at
teption of the congregation, she felt the
presence of the old veil. You have seen
the electric flash dart from the zenith to
the horizon in the night Of storm. You
have been fairly blinded by the rapidity
of the motion. Well, it was something
after that manner that that veil came off.

A New PUZZLE With WORDs.-Stud-
ents at the Institute Of Tecknoly have de-
designed rival to the Gem puzzle, which
is beginning to excite considerable inter
est about town. Giving two words of an
equal number of letters, the problem is to
change one to the other by altering one
letter at q time of the first SO as to make
4, legitimate English word, continuing the
alterations until the desired result is at
tanned. The conditions are that only one
letter shall be altered to form each new
word, and that none but words which can
be found in English dictionaries shall be
used Here are some examples of the
changes:
East to West-East, vast, vest, West.
Boot to Shoe-Boot, SCOT, shot, Shoe.
Dog to Cot-Dog, dig, fig, fit fat, Cat.
MIX to Hash--Milk, mile, male, mate,
hate, hath, Hash.
Road to Railroad, rood, root, coot,
coat, coal, coil, toll, tail, Rail.
Soup to Fish-Soup, soul, soil, foil,
fowl, fool, fool, coot, cest, cast, fast, fist,
Fish
The game is becoming quite popular in
railroad offices as wei as in family cir
cles and at firesides and seems to furnish
instruction with amusement.-B0st0n

Prof. Benjamin Silliman, of Yale Col

Prof. Benjamin Silliman, of Yale Col
lege, has been on an exploring trip through
New Mexico, and reports to the ST. Louis
Republican that he is now able to bring
to light discovery which he has made
there, which is of National Importance.
His exploration extended to the head
waters of the Rio Grande, in New Mexi-
co, from Santa Fe to Colorado. The ex-
istence Of very auriferious gravels has
been known for forty years, south of San
ia Fe. In the old Placar Mountains But
the existence of similar auriferious de-
posits on a far grander scale, and covering
an area Of not less than 400 square miles,
is a fact new to science, to commerce and
the miners. These auriferous gravels
were found by him to have a depth ofnot
less than 600 feet. 1t is the spoils, the
debris, caused by the breaking up of the
the auriferous mountains of the Sangre
del Christie, OF Blood of Christ Mountains.
They are commanded by the waters of
the Bio Grande from Santa Fe, as far as
Utah Peak. There is found in this region

Nordensjold and his lieutenant, Palan-
der, during their last weeks stay in Paris
only had twenty-five hours sleep. While
at the French capital they were present
at twenty-nine banquets and lunches and
listened to 157 speeches and 37S toasts,
to which they replied in twenty-four
speeches, of which twenty were made by
Nordensjold and four by his lieutenant.
The statistician who is responsible for
these figures very wisely abstains from
any attempt to compute the number of
well-meaning Parisians who shook hands
with the couple, saying: "Well, sup
pose you find this climate more agreeable
than that at the North Pole?'

Mr.. EMERSON AND MISS ALooTT's
READING--Miss Alcott's classic authors
are Shakespeare, Goethe and Emerson.
For Goethe, Mrs. Emerson taught her
the greatest reverence and affection. She
went to Mr. Emerson one day when
yonng, immature girl, and asked for a
real good, interesting book to read. He
handed her "Wilhelm Meister." She
went home and began it that afternoon
and read straight through until morning.
OF course there was much that she could
not understand, but she told Mr.. Emer-
son she thought it was splendid It
has been her favorite book ever since,
and not a year has gone by without her
reading it.
Mr. Emerson then gave her "Faust,"
and after that other works Of Goethe's all
of which she read with eagerness, and
highly amused her good friend by her en-
thusiastic and girlish criticisms.-Boston

NORDENSJOLD ON NARCTIC COM
MERGE.

Prof. Nordenskjold recently lectured
before the French Geographical Society,
"On the Possibility of Navigation fo1
Commercial Purposes in the Siberian Arc
tic Ocean" He summed up his discove-
ries as follows:
l. The route by sea from the Atlantic
to the Pacific along the northern shores
of Siberia ought to be frequently naviga-
bic in a few weeks by suitable steamer
having broad experience mariners; but
it is not vey probable, from the know
ledge that we actually possess OF the ice
sea of Siberia, that this route will become
in it's totality Of great Importance to com
merce.
g. 1t may already be given as thesis
that there exist no difficulties for the util
ization as a commercial route of the way
by sea between the Obi-Jenisei and Eu-
rope.
8. According to all probability the
route by sea between the Jenisei and the
Lena, and between the Lena and Europe,
can be equally utilized as routes of COM
merce, but the going and returning be-
tween the Lena and Europe cannot be
effected in the course of the same sum-
mer.
f. Ulterior explorations are necessary
to decide on the possibility of maritime
commercial relation between the mouth
of the Lena and the Pacific. The expe-
rience acquired by our expedition shows
that in any case there can beintroduced
by the route from the Pacific into the
basin of the Lena, in steamers, heavy en-
gines and other effects which cannot be
transported conveniently on sledges and
| wagons.
@'Many persons will no doubt, find the
views that | have expressed little too
rich in promises. The experience that
we actually possess of the parts of the Ice
sea situated between the Jenisei and Beh-
ring strait is in reality so small that it
leaves an ample field for diverse opinions,
and it is clear that the question can not
| be definitely solved except by ulterior
| explorations To show how little author
| lied would be an absolute negation, let
me be permitted to mention again that the
vessels of the Danish Greenland CONNER
cial Company, in their voyages to the
waters west Of Greenland, always filled
with ice, are less exposed to disasters and
damages than navigators in the seas OF
China, and that the Norwegian whalers
sail annually on the western shores OF
Spitzbergen beyond the latitude reached
with difficulty by the vessels Of Phipps
and Tchitschagow, equipped with all the
resources Of Russia and England. It is
quite in the domain Of possibility that
indentical circumstances may at some time
become the rule in the navigation along
the northern shores of Asia. But for that
it is not only necessary TO know whether
there exist difficulties and obstacles, but
also to know what those difficulties and
obstacles are, where they are met with,
where they cease, and how they can be
avoided"

POISONOUS VIOLET POW
DER.
From the London News, April s.


Yesterday Mr. Payne held an inquest,
at Southwark, on the body of Mary Smith
the infant child of parents living at No.
65 Tower street, Westminster Bridge road.
Immediately after the birth, the deceased
was placed in the care of Mrs. Mar
shall, who appears to have treated the
child with great kindness and care, wrap
ping it in new flannel and keeping it
clean and well powdered The violet
powder she used she purchased of a chem
ist in the Waterloo road, but after using
it for day or two she found signs OF
great irritation about the body of the de-
ceased, and very large blister, extend
ing from the abdomen to the the shoulder
formed. DR.. Donahoo waSealled in, and
at once ordered the discontinuence of the
use of the powder, but the mischief was
too far advanced for remedial measures to
be efficaciaus. and the child died on Sat-
urday. DIR. Donahoo of the Blackfriars
road, stated that in his opinion, the death
of the child had risen from blood-poison-
ing, consequent upon the application OF
the so-ealled violet powder, which con-
tanned 8 very large percentage OF sulphate
of lime Phe body Of the deceased was
very mach infamed alb over, and the IT.
ritation very excessive. Such powders
as described were highly dangerous and
ought not to be sold. The jury after a
long consultation, returned the following
verdict: ave find that the deceased
child, Mary Smith, died from blood-poi-
soning from the application to the body
of an irritant powder containing sulphate
of lime, and which was sold by chem
ist as violet powder; and the said jurors
think that these powders ought not to be
sold without being analyzed beforehand,
ard then under proper supervision"

an enormous development Of the tertiary
formation, perhaps the pliocene being the
most abundant. The Professor also said
that one of the most interesting facts was
the occurrence upon the Gaisteo River,
an affluant of the Rio Grande, of exten-
sive beds containing coal, both of the BIZ
luminous and anthracite variety. The
anthracite, he said was of an excellent
quality It owes its organ evidently to
the upheaval of enormous masses of plu-
tonic rocks, such as porphyry, syenite, etc,
constituting what is now called the Los
Cerrillos Mountains, about twenty-five
miles southwest Of Santa Fe, on the line
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Rail
road. The presence of these coal fields
offer unsurpassed facilities for the smelt-
ing and reduction Of ores. Railroad con-
nections Herewith are soon to be COM
pleted.
