The Sherry We Drink.

[From the New York telegram
A cable dispatch to-day states that
the London medical papers are making
an outcry over a new species of poison
which they assert is making sad havoc
with the stomachs, if not the lives, of
Englishmen. It is called sherry, and is
manufactured at Hamburg out of alco-
hol, sugar, water and common table
salt.
"Pshawl we can beat that hollow"
said an artistic mixer of beverages in a
down town wine-room this morning on
being shown the cable dispatch in ques-
ton. "Why some manufacturers in
this city can turn you out sherry that
has more poison to the tlimbleful than
you would find in den of rattlesnakes.
Oils and etherp Why they can supply
you with an unlimited variety of them
in some of what is called the genuine
article or choice old brands of sherry.
There are acetic, butoric, chloric, nitric
and sulphuric others, and even the bead
can be manufactured by the aid of alum,
alkalies and acids"
"Those who ship sherry" said deal
er in American wines, when questioned
on the subject, "know how to drug and
fix it for the American market and have
it pass off as genuine. Very seldom
one bottle of what could be honestly
called the real article ever reaches these
shores. AS in liquors, tobacco, caustic,
potassa, red pepper, aqua FORTS and oil
of vitriol are frequently to be found, so
in some brands of sherry there are in
gradients which the widest stretch of
imagination never would conjure up"
Il recollect some years ago." said a
pharmacist this afternoon, "there was
a manufacturer in Chambers Street who
was detected in using lead coated watts
in the manufacture of sherry. The En-
glish medical authorities would have
something to add to their denunciations
of sherry if they had the American
authorizations mixed with those of Ham
burg"
almost as bad as the poison of the
Borgias."
"My dear sir, if the poison of the
Borgias were in the market to-day they
would likely be used as favoring extracts
for sherry and other wines. Their
Wanted potency would be of no avail
at the present period. They would en-
counter poisons used in the manufact-
ure of our wines which would make
them appear utterly Insignificant as
curtailers of life. Even electricity is
brought into requisition to tone up some
wines"
How is that?"
"By plunging into wine vat two
platinum plates connected with the
poles of battery. tell you that some
of the wines of the present day are fear
fully and wonderfully made"

A GERMAN LEGEND.
BY AGNES FARLEY.

Have you heard the Broken legend ofthe seven
sisters fair,
With the violet eyes of Deutschland and the lus-
trous yellow hair,
Who were woOed by German suitors by the dozen
and the score,
But who loved the seven Princes from the far-of
English shore.
Till one night when stars of silver studded all
the blue oerhead,
With the seven English brothers these Teutonic
maidens fled
Swiftly fed across the Rhireland, climbed the
summit of the HartZ,
Little dreaming they were followed by the
subtlest fairy arts
For the Tilted German suitcrs, vowing vengeance
fast and free,
Swore to claim the recreant fair ones ere they
reached the English sea-
So, when all the stars of silver kissed adieu the
golden day,
At the feet of seven maidens seven CHASTITY lovers
lay,
On the ground their fair locks streaming, and
their lips were white and cold
While pursuing DER the mountains came the
German lovers bold,
Seized each fond lamenting sister crying hercely
"Thou art mine "
And with loud, triumphant laughter fastened
backward to the Rhine;
Bore them to the ancient stronghold TO the castle
firm and gray
OF the cruel King, their father, guarded well by
But no bolts nor bars could hold them, for they
soon were free again
All the wilfulness of woman puzzles oft the
wiSest men
And with wings which love had lent them, to the
far off noun tain Sped
There to seek their English lovers; there to
mourn their English dead.
But, oh cruel art of magic art that heeds not
woman's tears,
In the cold miSs of the morning what is this that
mocks the ir fears2
Where they left their sweethearts lying, seven
mountain peaks arise,
Each with stony heads of granite, deaf to all
their prayers and sighs
Should you ever in your wand'rings climb that
far-off German mountain,
lou may see the Seven Brothers and by each
tiny fountain;
And the legends tell the story that has drifted
down the years.
How the seven loving sisters came each morn
with bitter tears
10 bewail their fair lost lovers till they wept
themselves away.
Each became ripping fountain-moan1ng sigh
ing there to-day.

Candidates Helping to "Wood Up.'
(From the Sacramento (cal.) Union.l

tFrom the Sacramento {Cal.l Union.l
A gentleman who came down from
Colorado yesterday states that on
Thursday evening, after the train had
left Grass Valley for Colfax passenger
going through the cars discovered in
one corner motley group of Nevada
County officials, some of whom, it is
needless to state, are again craving the
SURFACES of their constituents. When
within few miles of it's destination
the train was obliged to halt for sup
ply of wood. Noticing that his train
was somewhat behind time, and being
aware of the presence of these political
aspirants, the conductor demanded call
candidates who desired a vote to imme-
diately come to the assistance of his
meager crew." In less time than it
takes to write this article five able
bodied men were at the wood-pile,
minus coat and hat They worked with
vim until long heavy piece of wood
came in contact with finger of one of
the hardest workers, and he was obliged
to desist. The others, fearing that
some great calamity would befall them,
beat hasty retreat, after being thanked
by the conductor, who, by way of joke,
informed them that himself and assist
ants were in favor of the "other"
ticket

The Confederate Battle Flag.
Washington Letter to the Cleveland Leade

WASHINGTON Letter to the Cleveland Leader.l
I saw Gen. Joe Johnston on the street
to-day. He is as straight as an arrow,
and the only sign of age is seen in his
silky grey hair, which flows in silvery
curls almost to his shoulders, and his
full grey beard. Otherwise he might
pass for young man. His dignifed
step is firm, his eyes bright and his
health apparently perfect. He is now
" years of age, but does not look over
60. He lives on Connecticut Avenue,
one of the swell streets of the capital,
and is, I suppose, in comfortable cir
cumstances. called upon him to ask
about the origin of the Confederate
battle-fag, now over year ago. He
told me then that it was only partially
his design. Said he: Sat the battle of
Manassas-you Northerners call it Bull
Run-the stars and bars proved fail
ure because they were so much like the
Union colors. Indeed, both armies
mistook their enemies for friends and
vice versa. After the battle I had re-
solved to discard the flag, and called for
each regiment to procure its state col
ors. This they were not able to do, and
i SSKou 6uo aImy Aor now u0SlSnS.
Among those presented, one by Gen.
Beauregard was chosen, and / altered
this only in making it square instead of
oblong. This flag was afterward adopt
ed by the Confederate armies generally.
Tt was Greek cross of blue on red
field, with white stars on the blue bars. %
This flag was designed by Col. Wal
ton, of Louisiana, and by him presented
to Gen. Beauregard.

When he arrived in New York he had
announcer interview with his family, but
he was so thoroughly manageable
that ne was again tossed out Of the
house, which he has never since entered.
A little crowd of sycophants hung
around him for time, but thew have
nearly all deserted him now and he has
but one companion-a man who is said
to be an adventurer and whom nobody
knows. The little dude goes every
where, as I said above. He NAV be
seen driving on the avenue in the after
noon in o trap that is strictly correct in
every detail, and he attends the theater
and the opera steadily. He is cut light
and left, owes every man money, and is
frequently abused in public by Lis
dupes. But the expression of his face
never changes and he is apparently as
he was in Paris, when at the height of
his fortune. He is known about town
by the name of "Jibletts." I don't know
where the nickname came from.

Living Like a Prince.
TFrom the Brooklyn Eagle.

IRON the brooklyn Eagle.
Curious stories are often told about
men of no fortune who live like million
aires. Occasionally instances like that
of "Lord Abercrombie," who lived like
a Vanderbilt for few months, crop up.
But it is seldom that man turns up
who can live like a Russian prince,
drive blooded horses, give elaborate
dinners and move among a fast set of
men without having any money of his
own. There is such man or, rather,
boy in New York at the present time.
He has been going at terrific rate for
two years. [ shall call him Smith, be-
cause it is not his name. He is an ideal
dude. His figure is slim almost to
emaciation, his chest narrow, his arms
and legs long and his face absolutely
colorless. More than this, it is an ef-
Terminate face, with small features, weak
eyes and an irresolute mouth. It is IA
miliar to half the people in New York.
At every event of Importance this pale
and languid little dude is on hand. He
has an extraordinary assortment of
clothes, wears numberless rings and is
usually accompanied By valet. He
comes of very respectable people. /
know his mother and several of his rela-
tives. They will have nothing to do
with him and his name is never men
toned at home. About two years ago
he got into serape uptown for which
he needed ready money. at once. He
begged his people to give him 1000
and they refused point blank. Then he
gathered all of his mothers diamonds.
pledged them for about $4,000 and took
a steamer for Paris. When he arrived
there he walked into a commission
house, asked the head of the firm for
pointer and languidly tossed him
check for $1,000 for investments. One
turn on the Bourse landed him nearly
$4,000 ahead. He made a few more
successful speculations, drew the whole
amount of his gains which had then
reached about 1000, and prepared to
" see" Paris. He was then 90 years old.
Of course no one knew that when he
speculated in $1,000 lots he was
risking his whole fortune at every turn
of the market. He was so placid and
serene during his operations that they
gave him credit for having big fort
une in reserve. Mr.. Smith made things
howl in Paris. He lived there four
months, spent every penny he had, and
returned to America with half dozen
trunks filed with clothes, no end of jew
elry, leaving the tradesmen of Paris
dOleful and forlorn. He owed money
right and left in the French capital.
but he never allowed it to worry him,

A Russians Thirty Millions.
From the Sacramento (cal.) Union-I


During the past ten years or more
a gentleman of quiet bearing, named
A. O. Lavelle, has been conducting a
cider and vinegar factory on Fifth
Street near K. It appears that he is a
Russian, was an officer in the Russian
army, and his family were of high So
cial standing, but being exiled he
dropped everything pertaining to ar
istocracy, and took hold of the first
business that offered by which to gain
living for himself and family, he having
married in this country. Recently be
received information of the death in
Russia of his father, apd being the sole
heir, he is entitled to a fortune of
about $30,OO0,000. During the past few
days ne has been engaged ia secur-
ing the necessary papers, including one
from the Secretary of State relative to
his citizenship, and yesterday left for
the borders of Russia--he cannot enter
the territory-to look after his property.
He says thatshe will return to Sacra-
mento as soon as possible, intending TO
always make thiscity his home.

1t has often been noticed that O good
many New York detectives look like
gamblers. They have the same sturdy
figures and the same carefully wrought
mustaches as the gamblers.
There are many middle-aged men,
with gray boards and white hair, who
are as enthusiastic patrolers of Broad
way as the Youngest of the prowlers.
Some of them are ex-army officers, others
retired business men, and many of them
men who have been unsuccessful and
who are out of employment, but who
seek amusement with the crowd. Every
day there are fresh recruits from the
country who stroll up and down in open
mouthed admiration, and follow with
intense interest the noted figures who
occasionally pass them. All the men and
women who are more or less famous in
New York pass up and down Broadway
at some time or other. In fact, it is said
that all the famous people of the earth
must in the course of time stroll by the
Fifth Avenue hotel. This applies as truly
to Lord Coleridge, the lord chancellor of
England, as to Sorakichi, the champion
wrestler of Japan. Of the hundreds of
the well-known faces of famous actors,
popular politicians, well-known bankers,
and notorious people of various sorts
nothing need be said. They have been
written about so many times that they
now take the parade up and down Broad
way as much for an advertisement as
anything else. York Sun.

HEALTH HINTS.

Fora a sore chest, apply, upon retiring,
hops saturated with vinegar till re
ieved.
In case of sleeplessness, induce mus
cular fatigue by walking, and refreshing
sleep will follow.
A change of diet, air and habitation,
with vegetable tonic and blood puri-
fer will cure all curable cases of cancer.
When dining, have some cheerful con-
versation. 1t is not only powerful ap-
petizer but it is also an adjuvant to
stomachal digestion.
Some people prefer hot lemonade t.
the usual form, but it is only recently
that we have seen it recommended in
diarrh@a, says the Scientific american. DR..
Vigouroux recommends glass of hot
lemonade every hour, or half hour, as an
easy, agreeable, and efficient treatment OF
1iarrhga.
A writer in the Melical Times a11t
Gazette recommends the use of hot milk
as a restorative. Milk when heated
above 100 F. loses its sweetness and den.
sity, but has most beneficial influence
over mind and body when exhausted by
labor or mental strain. Its effects are
more invigorating and enduring than
those of alcoholic stlmulants.

The Origin of Dixie.

On Saturday night in 1859, when
Dan Emmett was member of Brvant's
minstrels, New York, Dan Bryant came
to him and said: dan, can't YOU get up
walk aroundY / want something new
and lively for Monday night" Dan went
to work, and by Sunday afternoon he had
the words commencing Il wish was in
Dixie" This expression was not South
ern. but appeared among the circus
people of the North In early fall when
nipping flosts would overtake the tented
wanderers, the boys would think of the
warmth Of the South, and the common
expression would be: "Well, I wish /
was in Dixie" This gave the catch line,
and the rest of the song was original.
On Monday morning it was rchearsed
and highly commended, and at night a
crowded house caught up the refrain and
half of them went home singing Dixie.
The song became the rage, and w. w. New
combs, Buckley's minstrels and others
gave Dan So each for the privilege Of
using it. Mr.. Werlean wrote to Emmett
to secure the copyright but, without
waiting for reply, published it with
words by Mr.. Peters. Pond, of New
York, secured it from Emmett for 5000;
but Werlean sold thousands of copies
without giving him nickel. Not only
was Emmett robbed of the profits of his
song, but the authorship of it was dis
puted. Will S. Hayes claimed it as his
own. Pond brought the matter before a
music publishers convention, and settled
the authorship; but Dan reaped no bene-
fit from this tardy justice. - Oakland
