SOME "NATiVE" WINE,

The Vile and Dangerous Stuff, Seized by
Health Officer, Which Figures in the
Market as the Pure Article.
1t is a weQ-known fact that nothing
is 50 easy of adulteration and imitation
as wine, and that apart from the evil
effects of Undertaking in other ways,
the imbibers are very likely to get
poisoned by the foreign substances that
some dealers introduce into their goods.
An illustration of this is furnished
by the case which DR.. Edison, of the
II alth Board, reported lately. At No.
81 Front street, Brooklyn, he found
one w. }. Booraem making "wine"
alter this fashion: Dried fruits, as
rasins, currants and peaches of low
grade, are macerated with water, to
which q certain amount of sugar is
added. The mixture is then fermented.
and when fermentation is considered
sufficiently advanced it is checked by
the addition of salicyiic acid, sufficient
acid being added to act as preserva-
tive and prevent further fermentation.
The so-called wine is then clarified,
favored and colored to cause it to re-
semble port, claret or any desired kind
of wine.
Of course the object in view is to i'm
itate and undersell genuine native
wines. Aside from any injurious prop
critics there may be in the fiavoring
and coloring matter, enough salicylic
acid is used to produce very serious
eject. Its use as preservative is for
hidden in France by law. In very mi
mute quantities it may be innocnous,
but in this case DR.. Edison found about
nine grains to the quart-plenty to
poison any one who drinks much of it.
Five thousand two hundred and eighty
gallons of this stuff were seized at this
one establishment by DR.. Edison.
1t is hardly to be presumed that this
is the only ''wine factory in Brook
lyn; and such establishments exist not
only in Brooklyn and New York, but
in other cities of the State, and even
in villages. So long as people will
drink wine, and so long as such stuff
can be made and sold at profit, these
establishments will exist. The risk of
an occasional seizure by an officer of
the Board of Health is worth running
for the sake OF the large profits made
in ordinary times.-M Y. Mail and En-

TEMPERANCE VICTORIOUS.

The Good Cause Sustained by the SUI
prems Court of the United States-wfL
the Laws BE Upheld by the Late Com
vention of Liquor Dealers?
The Temperance people of Iowa are
very jubilant over the late decision OF
the Supreme Court of the United States.
The liquor men have tried to have all
the injunction cases against the saloons
transferred from the State courts to
the Federal courts on the ground that
the injunction proceeding was in con-.
flict with the Federal constitution. The
Supreme Court of the United States de-
cides that there is no conflict and has
State courts. The Temperance people
should go to work now with will and
shut up every saloon in the State of
Iowa. Already large number of the.
saloons in Sioux City have been
closed for violation of the in
junction, and all the costs of tie.
trial charged to the saloonkeepers.
And since tue National convention of
| liquor dealers have adopted the follow
ing resolutions, it seems as if the cause
of Temperance ought to take mighty
stride forward:
| ResO'Ued, That it is the duty Of all good
citizens to obey the laws of our country and
we condemn every violation of the laws re-
gardiess of the damage inf cited in its OBJ
servance upon any industry, or upon any
| general business interests.
" ReS'lDed That we are in favor of both
public end private morality and good order
and popular education"
This action taken in Chicago seems
to have stirred up the city government
there, for resolution was unanimous
ly adopted by that body to suppress all
the low dives and disreputable places.
in the city upon information given by
the police or other reliable parties.
1t seems from the above that public
opinion is bracing itself up. and is ex--
erting an influence for good even upon
the liquor men, awakening in them a
semblance of moral sense, at least,
which it has been long supposed they
did not possess.
If they are honest in their demand
for the enforcement of the laws re-
gardless of the damage inflicted upon
any business, then the saloon is
doomed and must GO Christian

controls. In France in elections to the
Assembly, as under the Empire in cleo
tons to the Corps Legislatif, an abso-
lutte majority must be obtained. If no
one gets such majority there Is a
second election, where a plurality
elects. In France the voting is by bal
lot. practically on the same plan as
our own. Universal suffrage prevails,
as is we'll known, and the very freedom
of the franchise, joined to the tenacity
with which Frenchmen cling to their
op Mons for the time being, render the
English machinery for securing secrecy
wholly useless. In Denmark there is
open voting. accompanied by public
nomination, but the job is all done up
at once. Immediately afterthe nomina-
ton, if poll is demanded. the voting
takes place, and the result is declared
as soon as the votes are all IND. C.

JENKINS SPEECH,

When Mr.. jenkins went to his bed

with another determination that he
would not be interviewed by Mrs. Jen,

Mr.. jenkins felt that he had hedged
against all inquiry, and a triumphant
smile was upon his face as he took
hold of the gas-check, and sighted a
line for the bed, when he was earth
quaked by ringing laugh, and the
query from Mrs. jenkins:
"Why didn't you take off your hat?"

Written for one dear mother who knows

Why fear his hand on the latch,

WHY SHE REFUSED.

Her Pastor Tells About-Cause for Saying
Sharp Things About Moderate Drinkers.
You say you went to the party last
night, and YOU saw Mrs. Smith, an old
friend, whom you had not seen since
she and your sister were at school to-
gether. You had very pleasant talk
until supper, when you gave her your
arm and took her to supper. When
some one came along with a few
glasses of wine on waiter, and offered
her q glass, you saw her shudder as
she said moi" and you wonder why
Mrs. Smith, who didn't use to be so
particular about such things, not only
refused, but shud9ered when she said

your talk and a little Irritation, did
you? won't say you didn't. She was
very gay, and she seemed very glad to
forget herself. did she? Very well; l

hour of the evening. l can tell you
where she went after the party was
over. She went home-the latest per-
son from the party. She was glad it
was late, for her husband had not come
home. She sat and read for an hour,
and her husband did not come. She
wrote for an hour, and her husband
did not come. She sat at the piano for
an hour, but he did not come.

CULINARY TEMPERANCE.

Word of Caution co Wives and Mothers.
in Regard to Planting the Seeds of In
temperance in Their Food.
This is phatically time when
woman should let her influence be felt,
in the strongest possible manner, and
in every direction, against the curse of
the drinking habit. Concerning the
danger of using alcohol for culinary
purposes, Julia Colman writes as fol-
lows:
The kitchen is very often the stronghold of
the drink habit in this countrJ. from the fact
that great many of our inherited and i'm
brandy, to say nothing of gin, rum and whis-
ky. These are often carelessly copied, even,
by our rel x GUS papers, ana as carelessly
practiced by religious people If they have
their attention called to the matter. they may
say that the heat drives away the alcohol, and
nothing but the taste remains, never SEEM
ing to think of the absurd ty of surprising
could taste the stuff if it were not there. But
this taste itself is the very thing to be feared
whether it creates In oh ldren a familiarity
with the liquors used, and thus makes them
in after years an easy prey to the drink
habit; or whether it reawakens in tho
reformed man the appetite which has
done him so much mischief and which
has been with so much difficulty subdued.
A pleas ng instance where this was happily
dNOlutu WAS ldlelg Dy Mrs. Dr.
Stephen Smith Mt meeting in the Broadway
Tabernacle, Now York, as follows: "a
guest, in whose welfare we were deeply in
terested, one day expressed to me a lively,sat-
isfact on because the m nee pie served Mt din
ner had contained no trace of alcohol. He
had feared the ordea. for If it had tasted of
brandy, he would not have been able to con-
troll the awakening appetite. i had no sus-
picon that he had ever been add cted to
drink, but he Informed me that a few years
prev GUS he hNd been its bond-slave. and
that he was obliged to watch continually
against any thing containing the poison. |

pies had saved me from putting a stone of

term ned TO be more earnest than ever in
calling attention to this matter, and should
be glad to get recipes recommended by any
really good COOK for the preparation, on u,
Temperance basis, of var Gus dishes which
usually contain some kind of alcoholics"
WHEN slave owners began to kill or
outrage those who said what they
thought about slavery and advocated
abolition they sealed the fate of the in
stitution. If the liquor sellers in Iowa
have procured the murder of man
for saying what he thought about their
business and for advocating prohibit
ton, they have done more harm to

dock could have done if he had lived
ten years longer and preached two SER
mons in favor of prohibition every day.

BY eight o'clock yesterday morning
the gay uniforms of the fire laddies
could be seen on the streets and byl
halfpast nine o'clock the corner of Fort
and Hotel streets was thronged with
flremen, citizens, dogs, hacks, small
boys and women and girls. No
2 Engine was drawn by four SUI
perb grey horses, and was beautifully
decorated with wreaths and arches and
festoons of flowers, ferns and palms
On both sides of the engine was a
motto strip bearing the date of the
Company's organization, 1858, the
number of the Engine and the present
year. Engine No l was hitched to
four bay horses, the whole being appro
priately decked out for the holiday oc-
casion. The Chinese Company, as
usual, attracted much attention by the
gaudy display of its banners the en-
CINE like the Others being tastifully dec
grated with evergreens and flowers
Jimmie Williams as usual took his i'm
preston of the start and hid it in his
picture box under a black cloth not
satisfied with this, however, he had one
of his operators follow the parade all
over town, and repeatedly shot the boys
with his camera from the meeting of
street corners and balconies. Jimmie is
irrepressible when he wants to make a
good impression, but he generally does
his work in sort of negative manner.
Both the Royal Hawaiian Military
Band and the Reformatory School
Band were present and played alter
nately throuhout the line of march.
The procession was formed as follows :
Two axemen of each company;
Honolulu policeman who seemed out Of
place because there was something to
do; Royal Hawaiian Band Chief
Mott, Assistant Monsarrat and brigade
officers; the four fire companies, viz. :
Nos 1, 2, q, and s. The Reformatory
band lead Company No 4. Following
the fire companies came the Chinese
Dragon, borne in procession and going
through a series of contortions in a
vain attempt to get away from his gor-
geously bespangled tail, which was held
by crowd of small boys. 1t was great
fun and the procession was followed
throughout the route by a crowd Of
screaming boys and natives. 1t was
better than an election.

The Latest American Invention. \
THE VICTORY OF ELEcrRIcITY.

Since Electricity has been applied for light
ing purposes, all efforts Of inventors have
been directed to construct lamp Tor general
domestic use. The reason why this problem
has till now not been solved, IS that none Of
the inventors could rid themselves of the idea
of gas lighting, and that all have adhered to
the system Of producing the Electricity in
some central place, or by large machinery, in
stead of first laying down the principle that a
Lamp which should ever become generally
useful and popular, must be portable, like All
Oil Lamp, and contain the generator Of Elec-
trcity in itself, i. e., in the foot Of the Lamp
The Norman Electric Light Company ha',
at last succeeded in completely realizing this
ideal of Electric Lighting, and there is no
doubt that this most important invention will
bring about a complete revolution in all
branches of lighting.
Our Electric Lamp needs neither Machin-
cry, Conductors, nor any expensive outlay,
and is neither complicated nor disagreeabe in
manipulation all that is necessary is to refill
it every four or five days with acid. The cost
OF lighting will be as cheap as gas ~ cents
per hour), and it has before the latter the i'm
mense advantage Of neither producing heat,
smoke nor carbonic acid owing to which the
air is not inquired, and remains at The same
degree of temperature 1t is further abso-
lutely inodorous, and does not need to be
kindled by match, or otherwise, but simply
by turning the key, thus avoiding all danger
Of fire, explosion or suffocation, as in the case
Of gas, if the key is left open and il must be
conceded that this advantage alone is invalu-
able 1t is further preferable to any known
kind of lighting for the following reasons:
~ Its manipulation is so simple that any
child can keep It in order
IT, That the Lamp is portable, and can be
removed like any Oil Lamp from one place
to another.
(3.) That it neither requires the disagree
able fixing Of the wick, or the cleaning OF the
cylinder as in the case Of Oil Lamps.
~ That the light produced is a soft and
most steady one that il never hckers, and
the flame, though being equal in power Of
lighting to gas, can be regulated TO any de-
gree.
81 That every danger Of fire is absolutely
excluded, as the light will extinguish immedi'
ately, il by any accident the glass surrounding
the burner should he broken.
(6,) That it will burn, even in the strongest
wind, completely unaffected, thus being in
valuable for illuminations, lighting Of gardens,
corridors, etc.
This Lamp is constructed for the present in
three different sizes:
