FRENCH WINES.
Investigating Facts In Regard to tho Ix'
tent or Their AtI,slteration.


The subject of the adulteration, coloring
and falsifleation of French wines in France
occupies considerable space in the latest
volume of consular reports issued from the
state department. Consul Wilson, of Nantes
in communication dated at Rouen, April 13
acknowledges the receipt of dispatch inclos.
ing protests of the chambers of commerce of
Bordeaux and Cette against the wine reports
from the consulate, and says: Il have no
reason to change the opinion expressed in the
reports referred to in reference TO the falsih-
a.ion of wines in France"
He adds that this falsiication is carried on
to considerable extent, and that portion
of the falsiied wine is sent to the United
States. No better evidence, he says, can be
furnished of the existence of this practice
than the establish Lment by the French gov
crnment, in the interest of public health, of
the we'll organized laboratories for the
analysis of wines and other liquors which
are distributed throughout the principal
towns of France.
Consul Roosevelt of Bordeaux, in letter
dated April 10, incloses translation of an
article published in La G;fOnde, of that city,
on the artificial coloring of wines in the de-
partment of Aude, which is the substance Of Il
petition from the syndicate of wines and
spirits of Narbonne, to the minister of JUS
tice, against the artificial coloring of wines,
and in favor of an immediate and ener-
getic check of what is denominated
u commercial fraud" In this petition they
say that never have the wine traders and the
prOprietors been so flooded as they actually
are now with prospectuses, circulars, and ad-
vertiscments cXtolling powders, liquids, and
other products fit for the artificial coloring of
wines. They name o number of these adver-
tsemcnts, among them "rousillon concen-
trated," vegetable concentrated extract"
''ignoline," deep black hue" vegetable
red, grape caramel" "bordelaise hue" and
"bordelaise colorant." They say their inten-
tion is not to act rs denouncers, but to warn
lroprietors and trades against the extollers of
adulicrations.
La GUOnde, in commenting on the petition,
says: Hundreds of hogshcads daily arrive
on, our market filed with the product con-
demned by the petitioners"
A note from another report of Consul Will
son at.Nantes says that he is credibly inform ed
that tho publication OF the monthly reports of
the municipal laboratory at Paris is to be
suppressed by the project Of police on the
application of the society of wholesale
wine merchants. This laboratory, he says,
has proved most efficient preventive of
the adulteration of food and drink. and the
suppression of the publication of its reports
by the wine merchants is, he thinks, evil
dence against the bona ides of their declared
willingness to aid in tho suppression of the
traffic in adulterated aud falsifed wines and
liquors. Consul PierottO, of Lyons reports
the total wine harvest of France for 1889 to be
679,499,74i gallons, q product less than the
harvest of 1881 by 7l,55l ,9S6 gallons.

J. B. Olcott, in Courant Alluding to the idea preached at Rockville of topo- graphic survey of the state-a survey, the boys may need to be told, which shows every rise and fall in the surface of the land, correspondent writes as follows
 ''Some 30 or 40 years ago, Woodstock people wished to obtain better road to their county at Brooklyn. The worst part of the old loute, and where the most expense would be needed, was through the west part of Pomfret. The latter town opposed the project as matter of course, with all towns in like cases, but the new route was established on what Woodsteck people supposed to be the best grade that could be Hounds Many Pomfret people knew, however, that in the valley, half or three -fourths of mile east, very level way existed. This way was swampy and costly to build, so Pomfret people, who would have to pay for it, kept mum, pre- ferring to make the cheaper, short con- nections of old roads on the oths1t route
 Ever since the travelling public has had to go the crooked and awful hilly way chosen in ignorance of what would have seemed plain matter to everybody, had there been good topographic map of the country" Let us have more of these in teresting old blunders. The millions spent in climbing some other way will pay yet if we learn to make our paths straight.

*Among the ladies who may road this there may be several sicky ones who have made up their minds to act on the old saw which speci- 6es that "What cant be cured must be en- dured" While the truth of the old proverb is self-evident it is just possible they may have erred in judgment as to the possibilities of the healing art outside of the medical pro- fession, and before giving up in despair they had better test the efficacy of Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable compound, which is now attracting universal attention.

It WAS related of First Lieutenant, af- forward Commodore, Thomas W. Wyman, that when the Delaware was thrown on

This unsurpassed exhibition of sang troid on the part of Lieutenant Wyman, preventing any liability to pan ic at time of imminent peril, where a huge ship of the line was held upon her side by furious wind, and with little prospect of fighting, deserves to be re- corded and handed down to coming gen. erations as an example worthy of imita- ton by all seamen when ssuddenly over- by extraordinary danger.
