1t is well known that George Wash
ington, when lad of 16, was employed
to survey q large tract of land west of
the Blue Ridge, in Virginia, which
Lord Fairfax had received from the
British crown. He did his work so well,
and displayed such manly qualities,
that Lord Fairfax became his warm
friend, and did much to promote his
interests.
When the revolution severed the re-
lation of the colonies to the mother
country, the two friends parted. Lord
Fairfax, as was natural to one educated
as an English nobleman, remained 10y
al to the crown. He had no faith in
the success of the colonies, or sympa-
thy with their cause. As the war went
on. .he withdrew more and more from
society, and lived quietly on his ele-
giant estate.
Passing one day through Winchester,
he heard the people shouting, and in
duiging in riotous JOY. On asking the
reason for the public tumult, he was
told that news had Just arrived Of the
surrender of Lord Corvallis with his
army 70 zen. Washington. Inc proud
heart was broken, and the blow was the
heavier because it came from one he
had befriended in boyhood. Ina de.
spairing voice he called to his servant

Why an endless procession of drink

Why people will 60 into society to be

An American Horse Wins the Prize Of
Paris.

PARIS, June 22.-The race for the
Grand Prix of Paris took place to-day,
and resulted in another victory for an
American horse. J. r. Keene's Fox
hall was winner with Lefevre's Tristan
second, and Count De La Oranges AL
bion third. The contest was very
close and exciting one, especially near
the finish. Tristan joined Foxhall at
the distance, and both ran grand
race home, Foxhall staying longer, won
by a head. The weather was fine, but
sultry. The various roads to Long
champs were filled with vehicles. A
great many drags were conspicuous,
bearing the American flag The
attendance was immense. Presi-
dent Grevy, ex-Queen Isabella,
and Ministers Constans, Wag-
ner, and Ferry were present. Roche
fort, the Duke of Hamilton, Prince
Soltykof, and Marshal MacMahon
were in paddock. Owing 10 the re-
cent rainfall, the course was in excel
lent order. Two to one was the best
price obtainable. Albion and Tristan
were well supported. Long prices were
obtainable about the remainder. 1t
may be truthfully said chat Foxhall
was in front through the race, and, de-
spite all efforts of Archer, who brought
Tristan with great rush at the dis
lance, Foxhall won by head amidst
tumultuous applause from the Ameri-
cans, who seemed to 60 quite mad,
and the waving Of the stars and stripes
from many drags.
In the preliminary canter, Casimer
and Albion appeared to 60 best, al
though Foxhall was greatly admired.
After one false start, the horses were
sent on their journey. Foxhall and
Tristan took the lead, but Archer
pulled Tristan back, and Dublin be-
came second. Alternate running was
then made by Foxhall and Dublin, fol-
lowed by Fiddler, Lear and Albion,
with Forum and Tristan next, and
Casimer last, until going down hill,
about half mile from home.
where Foxhall still led, with
Fiddler second, Dublin being
beaten. Foxhall and Fiddler were
now attended by Scobell, Tristan and
Albion. In this order they ran to the
distance, when Tristan Joined Foxhall
and the pair ran superb race home,
Foxhall, who stayed longest, winning
by head. Four lengths separated
the second and third horses. Time,
3:E.
Betting at the start was two to one
against Foxhall, three to one against
Albion, four to one against Scobell, and
five to one against Tristan. Ten ran.
After the decision of the Grand Prix all
interest in the races seemed to die out,
and vast crowds moved speedily to the
capital.

Griscon,'s Fast.

Mr.. Griscom has now lost in weight
weight twenty-fQDr and one-quarter
pounds, Of which one and one-quarter
pounds were lost during the past tven-
ty-four hours. The quantity of water
drank during the twenty-four hours
was four mugfuls or thirty-two ounces.
The sphygmographic tracings taken
during the afternoon showed that the
systole Of the heart was unchanged,
but that the contractility Of the ar
teries was much diminished, whatever
that might signify. The charging of an
admission fee Of Is cents had the effect
ofincreasing the contractility of The
number Of visitors, not more than fifty
persons plAnking down their quarter

callers was physician from Helena,
Mon, who evinced great interest in
this battle against nature. Mr.. Girls

HOMEOPATHIC Medicines as a rule
are not amenable to the chemical tests
and analyses used in testing drugs gen.
orally. Their reliability therefore de-
ponds solely on the character and repu-
tation as to probity Of those preparing
and putting them up. It's therefore Of
paramount importance that the public
satisfy themselves that the homeopa-
THO medicines they buy are obtained
from house of recognized standing
and reliability. Boericke & Tafel's

The French Wine Crop
New York sun

New York sun
Notwithstanding the injury done
to many vineyards during the ex-
ceptionally severe winter of 1879
so, the french wine crop showed
an increase of 9O,OO0,0O0 gallons
over that of the previous year. In
the districts which have not been
materially affected by the phyllox-
era, such as the departments of
the Aude and the Haute -Garonne,
the vintage was ABOVE the average
OF the last ten years (l1O.OOO,OOO
galIons); but ia the two depart
ments Of the Charenet, where the
best brandy is made, in the Lotet-
Garonne, and in several Others,
the ravages of the phylloXera
have brought the total down
To the lowest point which it
has ever reached. During the
last ten years the exports of wine
from France have varied between
90,O00,OOO and 63,OOO,0OO gallons;
but it should be added that during
the same period the imports have
been steadily rising from !, ,S6i 600
to 67,5OO,OOO gallons. The de-
partment which produced the
largest quantities Of wine last year
was the Herault (ll2,0O0,000 gal
lons). The department which made
the least wine was the Creuse
(lS00), and there were ten which
had no vines at all, these latter be-
ing the departments in which the
most cider is made. The total
cider crop for the past year was
100, 100000 gallons, this being lit
tie more than a third of the aver
age yield fer the past ten years,
the apple crop having been a fail
ure in nearly every part of France.
Normandy and Brittany are the
principal cider-making districts.
