The Monroe doctrine originated in
apprehension that Russia, Austria,
France and Prussia had formed an al
lance and would help Spain reconquer
the South American States. President
Monroe addressed them the following
note of warning, which was accepted
then and is recognized now as the law
ofthe government to all foreign powers:
eve owe 1t, therefore, to candor and
the amicable relations between the
United States and those Powers to
declare that we should consider any
attempt on their part to extend their
system to any portion of this hemis-
phere as dangerous to our peace and
safety. With the existing colonies or
dependencies of any, European Power

ADULrERATED FRENCH WINES.

From a statement of the Hon. j. A.
Bridgland, Of 1Richland, Ind, late con-
sui at Havre, the following extract is
made:
elm my eight years. experience as
United State Consul at Havre my at
tention was called especially to the
character Of the wines exported from
France to the United States. Being
satisfied for the last several years that
there were not grapes enough grown in
France to furnish wine to her own
population of $1,000, 900 of people, 1
cast about to see by what means the
large exports of wines were made to the
United States, Russia and other parts
of the world, and the investigation
which / made resulted in the discov.
cry Of the fact that all manner and
kinds OF wines from Spain and other
regions were imported into France to
be manipulated ny French Compound
ers. Shipioad upon shipl.'ad of n low
grade of Spanish wines arrive weekly
at Havre, Bordeaux and other points
in France. These wines are manipu-
lated by putting a very small quantity
of French wine with them, and the
Introduction of alcohol, extract of log
wood and other substances. MY atten-
ton was called to the purity of our
wines in comparison by having used
some of our American wines in France,
which astonished French connoisseurs
by their quality. In fact, sent from
Havre bottle of the champagne made
by tho American Wine Company. of
st. Louis, to General Noyes, our minis.
ter ut Paris, about two years ago, and
asked him to have it analysed by q
government chemist there, which was
done, and the certificate of the CHIEF
chemist reported 1t a perfectly pure
wine with but per cent. Of alcohol,
and fully mediocrity in quality, which
satisfied my mind that it was first-class
wine, as the French people are not
likely to give any article manufactur.
ed outside of France credit for being
better than 1t ISL

ITALICS AND PRONUNCIATION.

Reader! when you write an article
FOR any periodical, or letter to a friend.
never use italics except in some very
unusual emergency, for their employ
ment implies that the sentence has
been badly constructed and needs arti-
hcial emphasis before its meaning can
be understood. A clause in italics al
ways bears testimony to the writer's
clumsiness. So of general punctuation.
Punctuate as little as possible. Pune.
tuation marks can usually be dispensed
with If the writers be not too ignorant
or too indolent to construct rightly in
the first place the sentence in which,
they are employed. If the adverbial
clauses OF a sentence be properly dis
trlbuted in relation to the chief state
ments of which they are notifications
the parenthesis becomes a crooked folly
and the comma trffling superfluity.
VI course some punctuation marks are
needed: the period, to Indicate the end
OF u sentence; the semfcolon, to indi-
cate where sentence came very near
ending and didn't; perhaps the excla-
NATION point to tell the reader where
70 be astonished, though if he feels so
disposed he may possibly learn to be
shocked on his own hook the interro-
CATION point; now and then comma
to prove the imperfection of language
ut the point of a mere human pen. But
every comma is an apology offered by
the writer to the reader. The paren-
thesis is never to be used; at most not
more than once week by constant
writer: The dash or comma is an eff.
1ectiVe substitute. Finally, let it be |
oornc in mind that much punctuation
Is the infallible sign of poor writing

In the police court today the hearing of

to the so-called "Ingersoll interview
He said only atfidavits actually in his pos i
session when that interview was published
were those of Brown, Laws, Ilolmead and
Foote. He had declined to deliver these af-
tiiavits to Gen. Wells on the ground that he
was the proper custodian of them. PAYNE
should be prosecuted in this or some other
court. but it was unfair to try him and let
his employer go free. Ingersoll said he
gave Payne advice in relation to making the
affidavit, but declined to say what it was.
Richards was placed on the stand and
asked if he made the affidavit ascribed to
him, and replied in the affirmative, addin g
that it was true in every particular. What
passed between PAYNE and himself he re-
garded as confidential and declined to d.
vulge it. No consideration was offered
Foote for making his affidavit and it was un-
derstood it to remain In the witness
possession until corroborated by one from
Payne. Witness knew of letter from Foote
to Dorsey demanding $1,000 in return for his
papers. This letter was delivered to Dorsey
by Payne. Witness was positive he told
Foote nothing that could be construed into
an offer of compensation.

Narrative of the Jeanette Expedition.

The narrative of the Jeanette expedition

TODAY by Lieut.. Danenhower. He stated
that the first active search for belongs party
was made on Friday, Oct 10, when | went to
Kousmas' house and asked him to spread the
news and make arrangements to go to Bar
kin. Previous to this active effort, the ma
tives were all informed as clearly as possible
of the two missing crews, and in fact from
the time we first met them.
Question-You have spoken of Capt. De
Long as standing up in his boat and signalling
10 the boats to depart, what did you suppose
his object to be in desiring separation?

thing to do
Q-What kind of weather were the two
cutters making when you last saw them?

the second cutter was doing better than the
whale boat the first cutter also seemed to
be doing as well as the whale boat
Q.-Was it possible for the boats to be OF
any assistance to each other?
A. In my judgment it would have been
dangerous, but it would have been our duty

Q-Wha would you have done if in COM
mand if you had taken sixty days rations on
leaving the Jeanette?
Al would have made at once for the
coast water and then if the weather had been
as good as usual at this time of the year, l
would have made for Retiring Straits in the
expectation of meeting some whaler or relief
expedition.
