THE EUROPEAN WINE CRoP.-A vi
emma dispatch to the London Standard
of a recent date says: THE wine har
vest has proved complete failure in
most parts of Germany, not more than
one twelfth of an average crop having
been gathered this year. In France, too,
the crop this year was very small This
deaIth has led to a large traffic in grapes
and wines overland by railway from
Italy and Hungary. Upward of 5000
wagon loads of grapes have been receiv-
ed in South Germany from Italy alone
within the past few weeks. From Hun
gary also large quantities of the fruit
have been dispatched to the west. Dur
ing the past two or three weeks luggage
trains, loaded with Hungarian red wine,
have every day been crossing the Bava-
rian frontier at Passau, proceeding part
ly to various destinations in South Ger
many, but principally destined for
France"

A story is told of Van Amburgh, the
great lion tanner, now dead. On one &C.
casion. while in a barroom, he was ask
ed how he got his wonderful power over
animals. He said: "It is by showing
them that I'm not the least afraid
of them and by keeping my eye steadily
on theirs. I'll give you an example of
the power Of my eye" Pointing to a
loutish fellow who was sitting near
by, he said "You see that fell
low? He's a regular clown. I'll
make him come across the room to
me and | wont say word to him. "
Sitting down he fixed his keen, steady
eye on the man. Presently the fellow
Strengthened himself gradually, got up
and came slowly across to the lion tanner
When he got close enough he drew back
his arm and struck Van Amburgh ire

QUARANTINE ARRANGEMENTS AT New
ORLEANS. quarantine conven-
ton has just been held IN New Orleans.
1t declares its conviction that hereafter
the responsibility of keeping infectious
and contagious diseases entirely out of
the Mississippi river should devolve upon
the National Government, as being the
only power capable of exercising such
supervision as would be satisfactory to
all interested communities Regarding
railroads the convention recommend
that freight for quarantine purposes
should be divided into three classes. 1.
Merchandise to be submitted to an obi
gatory quarantine and to publication, con-
sisting of clothing, personal baggage, dun
mage, rags, paper, hides, skins, feathers,
hair and all other remains of animals, cot
ton, hemp and wooden goods. 2. Mer-
chandise subject to discretionary quaran-
tine, consisting of sugar, silks, linen and
cattle. g. Glass exempt from quarantine,
including all merchandise not included
in the above.

A curious experiment is being made
in Chicago by doctor of the name of
De La Banta. This is nothing less than
an effort to make negress white. De
La Banta has so far been quite success
full, the face of his patient having
bleached considerably by the use of the
lotion with which he treats her. The
Doctor does not in the least doubt the
complete success of his experiment, but
is afraid that he will not be able to keep
his nepress white after he has got her to
that color. His plan of operation is, he
says, very simple, and consists simply
in destroying the color on the cuticle of
patient, which makes a negro black
faster than the blood can make it. If,
however. the application of the lotion is
given up, the color returns to the cuticle
and the whitened negro becomes black
again.

The Nicaragua Canal Company has
now been encouraged by Captain Eads
modest demand for a government guar
antee of six per cent. dividends to his
stockholders, on $50, 600, 900, to make an
humble suggestion in his own behalf.
Mr.. Phelps, as representative of the Nj
caragua Company, to an inquiry of the
House Committee on Foreign Affairs as
to what he expected the government
to do for his company, has answer
ed that it would be desirable
for the government to become a sub
scriber at once for one-half of the
capital stockp The reason suggested is
that thus the government would always
maintain control of the stock. land pre-
vent its being taken abroad" When
we reflect on the danger that foreign
capitalists may suddenly come in. seize
great blocks of the Nicaragua stock, and
hurry it over to their money dens in
Europe, the patriotic spirit of this sug-
gestion is manifest. The trouble with
Capt. Eads and Mr.. Phelps is that they
are too modest, too coy and shrinking,
in their demands. Fifty million dollars
apiece is a mere trihe.-Neso York Sun.

a special dispatch to ths Cincinnati
Enquirer from London, Ont. January
%, says: Charlie Ross has been found
once more. A farmer residing in the
township of Allburough. named Peter
B. McCallum, came to St. Thomas yes
terday and reported to the Chief of Po-
lice that he had succeeded in finding
Charlie Ross, after tracing him for sew
eral months. McCallum states he has
indisputable evidence that he has the
child. He traced Charlie from the sus-
pension bridge to Tuscarora, where he
has resided for some time among the
Indians. The boy was left
there by a white man or woman,
who stated that they would have to
kill the boy unless the Indians adopted
him, as they were compelled to get rid
of him. McCallum claims to have
possession of the clothes which Charlie
wore when ne was stolen, and those
which he wore when left with the Tus-
caroras. The alleged discoverer further
more states that he has had CORES
pondence with Mr. Ross which estab-
fishes the child's identity beyond perad-
venture, and offers 70 pay the expenses
of the child's conveyance to Philadel
phia. Whether the real Charlie has
been captured or not remains to be seen.

ONE AND Two DOLLAR NOTES. -
Although there is not so great demand
for one and two dollar notes as there
was month or so ago, still these de-
nominations are in Gctive demand, with
the exception, it would seem, of one
section of the country. Treasurer Gil
fillan has received letter from a mer-
chant in Indianapolis complaining of a
glut of one and two dollar notes there
and in the vicinity. The writer says
that they cannot be got rid of in the
ordinary course of business and asks
that the Treasury afford relief. The
Treasurer has replied that if the notes
be shipped here they will be exchanged
for the larger denominations WASH

1t will be remembered that it was
stated at the time that the immense
amount of money used by the Radicals
to buy up the voters of Indiana in the
late election was in the shape of new

The venerable but plucky NJ. Ferdi-
nand de Lesseps seems to have no fear
of the Monroe doctrine before his eyes.
According to our dispatches this morn
ing, he announces in his first report to
his Panama Canal Company, that 1. 2O9,-
Cos shares Of stock have been taken. and
that seventy engineers, superintendent
and doctors, and 5000 laborers, have
been sent to the isthmus for the purpose
of prosecuting the work. Old de Les
seps is evidently going in to win. It
looks now as if he viii have his canal
completed before Grant and his coachers
get through their bloriations about the
right of the United States to interfere.

In the State of Illinois there are fifty
railroad companies, operating 1917
miles of main line and branches, repre-
senting $4OS, 745, GA capital stock, of
which only 1884, 700, or less than 2 per
cent. is owned in the State; the remain
ing 9S per cent. is owned by non-resi-
dents. The recent report of the State
Railroad Commissioners alludes to the
many cases of consolidation of different
lines of road and the tendency towards
Capitalization of management. The
Commissioners mention the popular ap-
prehension which this tendency inspires,
but they regard it as groundless. In
stead of consolidation creating monopoly
and consequent increase of rates, the
Commissioners believe it reduces the ex-
penses of operating the roads and gives
lower rates.

A SPIDER CAUSES AN ARMY OFFICER s
DEATH.-A telegram from St. Louis,
January Goth, says: Lieutenant Chas
Gibson, of the United States army, died
here yesterday of Inflammation of the
brain, believed to be the result of cir
cumstances which occurred while he
was at West Point. One day, while on
parade, a spider got into one of his ears
By the rules, he was not allowed to
raise his hand, and stood in the ranks
more than an hour, while the spider
worked its way in the ear. When dis
missed his ear was full of blood, and the
insect could not be removed for two
days. This caused a corrosion of the
bone next to the brain, and gave him a
good deal of trouble. He went to his
regiment, in Northern Dakota, and,
after performing considerable service,
and suffering from severe attack of
sickness, he came home, expecting to
resign, but, as it proved, only to die. /"
