Doctoring Wines.

With regard to the doctoring of
wines by adding plaster Of Paris, the
canton of Berne, in 1879, fixed as an
upper limit for potassium sulphate in
wines two grammes per liter. Mer-
chants thought the regulation too strin-
gent, and the directors of internal af-
fair, nominated commission to study
the subject afresh. In their report they
come to the conclusion that wines
strongly plastered have sometimes
caused slight accidents, and that the
prolonged use Of such drink can not
be without prejudice to health. While
recognizing the difficulty Of fixing an
absolute limit for plastering, they ap-
prove as sufficient that of the ordinance
in question; on the one hand 1t guaran-
tees the public against illness from
the Use of wines too much plastered, and
on the other, it is not heavier fetter
for the producer than similar prescrip-
tons in France, where the interest in
tolerance of plastered wines is vastly
greater. Each buyer who has ordered
a natural wine should have the right to
refuse any having more than 1915
gramme Of neutral sulphste Of po-
tassium per liter.

as models for the young to initiate,
have themselves been of, OF have
sprung from, the toiling dasses.
Lastly these men were men q char
acter. Character is that which
makes heroes, and the lack of which
makes teltoacs. Character gives men
courage to stand by their convictions
in the face of scorn and oppression.
Character lives long after the bones
of its possessor have crumbled into
dust. In conclusion, the lecturer, in
eloquent.terms, urged his hearers to be
men such as he had pictured for their
imitation. Men of faith, who live not
merely for the present. Men of toll.
who improve to the utmost the OPP
portunities which are given them.
Men of character, who stand in de-
fence of that which is right, though
the world be against them.
For about forty five minutes the
lecturer held the close and undivided
attention of his hearers and as he
took his seat was greeted with hearty
applause. His lecture, to which this
hurried notice by no means does JUS
tice, was one evincing no ordinary
amount of thought and study, and
one which would have been a credit
to any speaker upon any occasion.
It may be of interest to the many
friends of East Tennessee Wesleyan
University to know that the present
scholastic year is proving the mos
prosperous in its history. The en-
rollment of students is already con-
siderably in excess of the number
in attendance last year, and new stu
dents are continually being matric-
ulated. ARGUS.

We have from the beginning,
charged that the suit brought by the
low-tax ring at Nashville, in the
State debt case, was brought for the
purpose of specializing in Tennessee
bonds. Mr.. Hugh McGavock testi-
fed before the investigating commit
tee on Friday, that he helped to
defray the expenses Of George Hunt
to Memphis, in order to get some one
to father the bill, and that the object
was to make money by dealing in
'shorts." We have never doubted
that the bill was filed for that pur-
pose, and now we have positive proof
to that effect. A more unscrupulous
ring of Adventures was never organ
lied for any purpose.

NEW York, Dec. 20, 1881.

ANEW 1Ohh, OCC. AZ, 1901.
The Presided, Washington, d. G.
DEAR SIR: At the request of Gen.
Fitz John Porter, have recently re-
viewed his trial and the testimony
furnished before the Schofield court
of inquiry held in 1879, giving to the
subject three full days of careful read
ing and consideration, and much
thought in the intervening time. The
reading of the whole of this record
has thoroughly convinced me that for
these nineteen years I have been do~
ing gallant and efficient soldier a
very great injustice in thought, and
sometimes in speech. [ feel it incum
bent upon me now to do whatever
lies in my power to remove from him
and from his family the stain upon his
good Name. 1 feel this the more in
cumbent upon me than l should if I
had been corps commander only, or
occupying any other command in the
army than the one which did; but,
as General, had it possibly in my
power to have obtained for him the
hearing which he only got at later
day and as President I certainly
had the power to have ordered that
hearing. In justification for my in
justice to Gen. Porter, I can only
state that after the war closed his
defence was brought to my attention,
but I read it in connection with
sketch of the field where his offences
were said to have been committed,
which [ now see, since perfect maps
have been made by the Engineers
Department, of the whole field, were
totally incorrect as showing the po-
sition of the two armies. / have
read it in connection with statements
made on the other side, against Gen.
Porter, and, as am afraid, possibly
with some little prejudice in the
case, although Gen. Porter was a
man whom [ personally knew and
liked before; but I got the impress
sion, with many others, that there
was half-hearted support of Gen
Pope, in his campaigns, and that
General Porter, while possibly not
more guilty than others, happened
to be placed in position where he
conld be made responsible for his in
difference, and that the punishment
was not severe one for such an
offense. [ am now convinced that he
rendered faithful, efficient, and intel
hgent service, and the fact that he
was retained in command of a corps
for months after his offences were
said to have been committed is in his
favor.
What I would ask in General
Porter's behalf from you, is that if
you can possibly give the time, that
you give the subject the same study
and thought that 1 have givenit, and
then act as your Judgment may die
tate. But, feeling that you will not
have the time for such an investjga-
ton for it would take several days
tine), l would ask that the whole
matter be laid before the Attorneys
General for his examination and
opinion.
Hoping that you will be able to do
this much for an officer who has suf-
fersd for nineteen years, a punish
ment that never should be inflicted
upon any but the most guilty, 1 am,
very truly yours, .. S. GRANT.

INTENSELY UTTER.
Effective Culture on ROekland Girl
An Aesthetic Daughter and
Snperiatiyely Practical Pa.
From the Rockland Courier.

From the Rockland Courier.
A few months ago the daughter OF
a Rockland man, who has gro WI
comfortably well off in the small
grocery line, was sent away to a
female college," and last week size
arrived home for the holiday vaca-
ton.
The old man was in attendance at
the depot when the train arrived, with
the old horse in the delivery wagon
to convey his daughter and her trunk
to the house. When the train had
stopped, bewitching array of dry
goods and ii wide brimmed hat
dashed from the car and flung itself
into the elder party's arms.
why, you superlative pa!' she
exclaimed; I'm ever so utterly glad
to see you"
The old man was somewhat un-
nerved by the greeting, but he recog.
nized the seal-skin cloak in his grip
as the identical piece of property he
had paid for with the bay mare, and
he sort of squat it up i'll his arms, and
planted kiss where it would do the
most good with report that sound
ed above the noise of the depot. In
space of time the trunk and it's at
tendant baggage were loaded into
the wagon, which was soon humping
over the bubbles toward home
"Pa, dear said the young miss,
surveying the team with critical
eye, do you consider this quite ex
cessively beyond?"
Hey returned the old man with
puzzled air; ''quite excessive beyond
what! Beyond Warren? 1 consider
it somewhat about ten miles beyond
Warren, countin' from the Bath way,
if that's what you mean"
ooh, no, pa; you don understand
me, the daughter explained; Il mean
this wagon and horse. Doyou think
they are soulful'-do you think they
could be studied part in the light
of symphony, or even a simple
poem, and appear as intensely utter
to one on returning home as one
could express?'
The old man twisted uneasily in
his seat and uttered something about
he believed it used to be used for all
express before he bought it to deliver
pork III, but the conversation seemed
to be travelling in such a lonesome
direction that he fetched the horses
resounding crack Oh the rotunda,
and the severe jolting over the frozen
ground prevented further remarks.
Oh, there is that lovely and con
summate MAJ screamed the re-
turned collegiatess, as they drew up
at the door, and presently she was
lost in the embrace of a motherly
woman in spectacles.
We'll, Maria, said the old man at
the supper table, as he nipped a
piece OF butter off the lump, with lis
own knife, san how'd you like your
school q
Swell, there, pa, now your shOu-
[ mean 7 consider it far too eyond,"
replied the daughter. cit is un>
quenchably ineffable. The girls are
are SO sumptuously stunning-I
mean grand-so exquisite-so in
tense. And then the parties, the
balls, the rides-oh, the past weeks
have been one sublime harmony"
Il spose So s'pose SO, nerv-
ously assented the old man, as he
reached for his third cup. "Half

'Pa, don't!'' exclaimed the daugh-
ter, reproachfully. "The rule of

vine in art that have made my school
life the boss-I mean that have rem
dered it one unbroken flow of rhyth-
mic bliss-incomparable and exquis-

The grocery man and his wife
looked helplessly at each other across
the table.
"How do you like the biscuits,
Maria q
"They are too utter for anything"
gushed the accomplished young
lady, land this plum preserve is
simply poem in itself"
The old man rose abruptly from
the table, and went out the room
rubbing his head in a dazed and be-
numbed manner, and the mass con-
vention was dissolved That night
he and his wife sat alone by the
stove until late hour, and at the
breakfast table next morning he
raped smartly on his plate with the
handle of his knife, and remarked:
''Maria-me an your mother have
been talkin' the thing over, an we've
come to the conclusion this boardin'
school business is too utterly all
but too much nonsense. Me an
her consider that we haven't
lived sixty-odd consummate years for

there's going to be stop put to this
unquenchable foolishness. Now, ate,

Maria was listening.
