Reports on the Payne Invest.
CATION.

HhNtVHe
No man who is not blinded by
prejudice and love Of political dis
honesty AID intrigue, can read the
three reports Of the Committee on
Privileges and Elections yesterday
submitted to the United States
Senate, and say that Senator Payne
does not stand rightly vindicated
before the people.
The Democratic members of the
committee after a careful examiAa.
ton find that of all the mass of ev
idence none was presented that
claimed that Mr.. Payne had any
knowledge Of or was in any way
connected with anything wrong,
immoral or reprehensible, in his
election.
The report of Senators Teller,
Logan and Evarls not only corrob.
crate the report made by the Dem.
ocratic members, but also show that
even if such an investigation we're
necessary, the Senate is not the
proper place to make it. They 70.

upon. their disgracefuI schemes,

Their Courts and Legislature are
open to them. If they can show
before either Of these bodies that
Senator Payne is guilty Of bribery,
it is then as the report Of Senators
Logan, Evarts and Teller states, the
duty Of the Senate to act.
But the committee appointed by
the Ohio Legislature failed to fluid
anything. against Senator Payne;
the Legislature failed to find any
thing, and so the gang were afraid

hopes upon partisanship in the

Brandy AduIteration in bordeaux.

In Bordeaux there are over 5000
houses engaged in making, selling and
exporting wines of all kinds and quail
ties, the processes of blending, adulter-
ating and counterfeiting having helped
to call them into existence, In Cognac
the habit of classifying brandy has given
a certain stimulus to the trade, and there
are % yer 200 merchants engaged in
it in a large or small way, principally
the latter. The brandies they make may
contain some percentage of that made
from grape juice, or none at all. AS a
rule they are made with imported alco-
hols and other liquids of unknown char
acter, a cognac flavor being added which
would deceive all but experts. The imi-
tation brandies can be made and sold at
a few francs a bottle, and they are
largely consumed in France itself, Cor.

Mr.. OVERS Loss,

Z Hon. John NJ. Dyer of West Salisbury
suffered a severe loss by fire on Wednes-
day. About eight o'clock in the MORN
ing the three large barns al his residence
and other farm buildings We're totally
destroyed, and the house was saved by
the hardest work for Il period of two
hours. The lost property included over
60 tons of hay, carriages, SleighS, farm
ing tools. etc. The Insurance was q
$4,000, through a Rutland agency. Mr..
Dyer estimates his loss at fully S4WO.
The cause of the fire Is not known, but
spontaneous combustion is supposed.
Another theory is that the fire may have
been SET accidentally by IA band of gyp-
sizes who were about the premises IA short
time before it was discovered. Every
thing was carried out of the house in the
expectation that that too, would go. 1t was
saved only by hanging the carpets over
the exposed side and keeping them wet.
The distance between the house and II
of the structures burned was but II feet.
Luckily there was plenty of water han
dy, and the n%eighbOrS quickly gathered
to use it.. Mr.. Dyer came home from
Boston that morning on the early eX-
press and had not arisen when the alarm
wqe sounded. ~

A most extraordinary museum has
just been opened in the Rue Nauguelin.
1t is difficult to say whether it should
best be called a museum, or a factory,
or "a farm, or a menagerie. 1t is in fact
all four combined, and grouped together
for a purpose hitherto untried, and pre-
senting an appearance hitherto unparal-
leled. These are the new headquarters
of NJ. Pasteur, and here are to be found
c~ow-houses, s~heepfolds, fowl walks,
rabbit hutches, and dog kennels. They
are all, moreover, fully occupied.
On one ioor is a laboratory, where the
vaccine soups and preparations are
made up. Above it is a museum. where
specimens connected with the new cure
are exhibited. There are operating
rooms and rooms for post-mortem in
designations and dissecting purposes.
Two of the kennels are devoted to dogs
in various interesting stages of early or
advanced rabies. Hen cholera" is COM
m~unicated, watched, and cured in the
fowl-house. The cattle exhibit various
stages of vaccination.
Human beings have also their pro-
vided quarter. A spacious waiting-room
is set apart for patients, who troop in
daily in picturesque groups-according
to the French press-representing all
nationalities. In the mean time the
great savant occupies the former quart
ers OF the Pasteur institute in the Rue
d'Ulm, and devotes himself in dignified
seclusion to scientific research.
