Tho vins-growsrs OF the country are not
asking for the passage OF law to tax bogus
wines as an original proposition. Such
law IL now on the statute books, which, II
enforced, would enable the public to distin-
guish bstwssn genuine and spurious articles
by means OF the stamps affixed to the latter.
Defects in the law appear to prevent this col
lection OF revenue from this source. This
vine-growsrs have a right, as all other cti-
zens have, to demand the proper execution
Of any law, and the passage OF any amenda-
tory legislation which may be required. The
question as to the Iropristy Of originally
passing the existing law cannot come up tor
consideration unless some effort is made TO
repeal it. The proposed amendments now
pending in Congress reduce ths
present TAX on bogus wiue so per cent;
hence there can be no complaint ON that
score. That there may be some advantage
to honest industry through the Identification
of bogus wines by means of the stamps Ia
not reason why Congress should fail to
perfect revenue law. Such advantages
derived indirectly and incidentally grow out
Of nearly all laws. The brandy distillsr

When the United States Government ex-

mac, the rental of that structure at nomi-
nal figure to few speculators for different
purpose was not in contemplation. 1t is
quite serious question whether the Canal
Company could legally collect tolls itself for
any other purpose except those named in its
charter, and much the less could it sub -le:
any such power. But be this as II may, Con
gress has the right and it is its duty either
TO condemn the bridge property or TO regu-
late the tolls thereon. An investigation
should be had into the rights Of the present

the latter are, as alleged, exorbitant, they
should be reduced by law. We ara opposed

mistake to place an unsishtly object like the

cannot be corrected. Again, the proposed
extension might be sufficient for present
needs, but there is not sufficient space for
future needs. And it must be recollectei
that as this country grows the vast volume
of business Of the City Post Office grows with
it in rapidly increasing ratio. The cheap
John argument that the Government al.
ready has the ground, aud that cheap
building could be erected in the locality

II is the imperative duty Of Congress to
regulate the sale of adulterated wines In
such manner that they shall be vended under
their proper designation, and not folsted
upon the public as pure and healthful ar,i-
cles. The native wine interests are large
and rapidly growing larger. They pay q
large revenue to the Government now, and
are worthy Of Its fostering care. But indie.
pendent Of the question of revenue, and
overtoppiug II, is the greater one Of the
public health. Pure wines are the best
promoters Of genuine temperance, and when
used in moderation are wholesome and
strengthening. But the spurious concoc
tions, with gill Of good wine to a gallon Of
water, spirits, coloring matter, and, chemical
"bouquet, injuriously affect the health and
morals Of the community. II should be pre-
vided by law that every package Of wine sold
should be distinctly labeled with the name Of
the manufacturer or compounder, and II
should be made penal offenss to counterfeit
any such label, or knowingly to vend wine
with counterfeit labels. The public are enti.
tied to protection against adulierated articles,
and IL is the duty of Congress TO provide such
protection.

Stylish to the backbone. Iudepend-
ent as independent can be. but very
pure. Is devoted to pleasure, dress,
spending money, shows her moral ma
ture nude-just as it is, so as to de-
ceive nobody. Flirt all winter with
this or that one, and dismisses him in
spring, when she instantly catches an
other. Goes out alone Travels alone.
When the fancy strikes her she travels
with gentleman friend, OF walks any
where with him F.; puts boundless con-
fdence in him cOniugal intimacy seems
to exist between them. She let's him
tell what he feels-talks of love from
morning to night but she never gives
him permission to kiss so much as her
hand. He may say anything-she shall
do anything. She is restless she gives
her heart and soul to amusement be-
fore she marries. After marriage she is
a mother annually is alone all day /;
hears nothing all night except discus
sions about patent machinery, unex-
plosive petroleum and chemical manure.
She then will let her daughters enjoy
the liberty she used without grave
abuse. AS nothing serious happened
to her, why should Fanny, Mary,
Jennie, be less strong and adroit than
their mother? She originates French
fashions. Parisian women detest her.
Provincial women despise her. Men of
all countries adore her but will not marry
her, unless she has an immense fortune.
Her hair is vermilion, paler than golden
hair her black eyes are bold and frank ;
she has n patent shape which tbs for
bidden to counterfeit spreads herself
in carriage as if she were in ham

ture of her passion for luxurious ease.
