very summary air yesterday when the

Tho French Vintage of 1889.

London Times
The French wine yield for last year
was 80, 1856 3j2 hectolitres, being de-
crease of 3,250,0O0 from the previous
year AID of 100000 upon the avey-
age of the last ten years. This Is q
terrible falling off from the yield OF
former years, when the figures reached
G3,OO0,0t0 and S3,000,00O; and though
the greater part of the loss must be
credited to the phylloXera, unfavor-
able seasons have also played an i'm
portant part in contributing to the fail
ure. TLis was particularly the case
in the districts of the centre, the east
and the west, where the cold and wet
June interfcred greatly with the
growth of the vines. The estimated
decrease in the following departments
is: Charente, 5S per cent; Loire Ia
ferieurc, 81; Indre-et-Loire, 55; Loiret-
Cher and Vendee, "a; Marne, 81;
Maine-et-Loire, 40; Nievre, 45; Vienne,
40; DeuX Seyres, 36. In tho south,
however, where the season was de-
cidedly more genial, the results are
more satisfactory, and particularly in
the departments of Ariege, Aude,
Aveyron, Correze, Gard, Haute, Ga
rome, Jura, Haute and Basses Pyren-
ees, Tarn, Tarn-et-Garonne and Va
cluse. Heralt does not pariake of the
improvement, but that is owing good
deal to the fact that the vignerons
have hot yet replanted the acreage de-
stroyed by the phylloxera. During the
whole of the year fair amount OF re-
newal of vineyards took place, 35.426
hectares having been planted in excess
of the previous year. Nevertheless
this is but small portion of recovery
when we consider that the total sur
face of ground to be repianted is more
than 100000 hectares, or 775, 900 acres.
As a matter of course the deficit of
crop has been met with increased i'm
portations from other countries, Spain
alone having furnished 5,41S,c00 hec-
tolitres within period of eleven
months.

TIE American scurry.
The inmistakabc evidences of the
reign of corruption and bribery at the
polls, in our state legislatures, in con
grCsS, and often in our courts, should
starLe every dwellcr in our land-lead
every American to command II halt and
cause the people to hurl from power
every man who has secured MS oil ciion
or appointment TO office by corrupt
measures, or who uses his position to
bctray the peoples trust and interests
The generally admitted wholesale
corruption and bribery at the polls in
the late election in the state of New
Jersey, Is but the revelation Of II dan.
gerous political condition there, which
exists 10 an alarming extent in every
state in the union.
So almost universal has the reign of
bribery in political matters become,
that, as rule, the chance Of rlernly
honest man being nominated for an
important Office, or if nominated, of
being elected, is peor indeed, the polt-
icial field being thus mainly left to
wealthy corporations and their politi-
cal tools. or to wealthy unscrupulous
lheh.
The time was when men were hon
orcd and sought for political prefer
mcnt because Of their unwavcring
integrity and wise, impartial justice TO
all, but now they are too often no,hi-
mated and elected because they can be
trusted to betray the rights of the many,
aud serve the interests of the few.
Upright men often shrink from seeking
Office and from official positions, upon
the same principle that they avoid con.
tact with tar, while those greedy for
spoils, or of power for corrupt pur-
poses, scramble and struggle for Office
with intense earnestneSs.
During the present winter q promi.
nent and honored New Jersey poll
tician, who scorns sailing under false
colors, upon being asked by the
writer ii he would be candidate for
United States senator from that state
replied, with shrug, "No; the elec.
ton of q senator will be merely an auc-
tion.n
One of the most degrading considera-
tions that ever entered into political
calculations, bit which now is too of
ten one of the first, is the ability and
willingness of the nominee or his back
ers to submit to liberal bleeding
(blackmailing) for the benefit of those
who manipulate the nominating ma
chinery and run the elections.
The man who buys or sells vote,
throws a mantle of disgrace upon the
official affected thereby, and brings
the Office into the eyes of the people,
thus destroying all true respect for
law, jeopardizing the peace and safety
of society, and undermining the founda-
tions of our republic.
Let neither wealth nor any other con-
sideration shield the briber of voters or
the betrayer of the people from the
scorn and loathing Of honest men, but
let his crime against humanity be the
brand of Cain upon his brow, read of
all mep, Let his society be shuued as
that of one wholly foul with leprosy.

A SINGULAR incident which occurred
ia recent funeral service in Lewiston,
Me-, is related. A canary bird leaned
forward on its perch, and looking
through the bars of its cage, gazed
steadily down on the fair cofiined
form of the mistress who had in life
so tenderly cherished the bird, even
among her last requests providing for
its future care, and in a low mournfui
strain sang an accompaniment to the
hymn which the quartet were singing.
The difference between the plaintive
notes and its usual high and gay canary
trill was painfully remarked by many
learers. Since that day the bird has
seen noticeably sad and silent.
