Wine is the fermented juice Of the
grape, and is distinguished from other
fermented and alcoholic liquors by con-
tanning bitartrate of potash, constitu-
ent of the grape. Blackberries, currants,
and other berries, by fermentation, will
yield o wine, but the na1ae of the berries
from which obtained Ia always appended
to the vinous product When the term
wine alone Is used the fermented Juice of
the grape is signifed, and anything else
is misnomer. The numerous varieties
of wine are occasioned by difference Of
soil, climate, season, and by the kind,
quality and condition of tho grapes as to
ripeness, the mode Of fermentation, and
by the manner and temperature at which
the wine is preserved. and by its age
The strong wines, such as sherry, port
and Madeira, are made from grapes
that are thoroughly ripened, and which,
on account of containing large amount
Of sugar, yield, when fermented, d greater
amount of alcohol, which will range be-
tween IL and % per cent. Claret contains
about 10 per cent. and champagne about
10. Sweet wines, like toiay, are made
from grapes SO ripe that they are almost
shriveled up to raisins, and therefore con-
tain much sugar, and the fermentation is
arrested before all the sugar is converted
into alcohol, which will hardly reach 10
per cent. Champagne is bottled before
the fermentation has ceased, and hence
some of the carbonic acid resulting from
the fermentation is retained in the wine,
to be given of only when the bottle is
opened. It is, perhaps, not too much to
say that most wines exported from Euro
pean wine countries are adulterated.- -

The insolence and inefficiency Of men
servants in England have long been so
vividly realized by all heads Of house
holds. that any step which shall be an
advance in the direction of getting rid Of
them ought to be hailed with rapture by
oil chatelaines and housekcepers. Many
ladies have given them up altogether, and
content themselves with female servants,
selecting peculiarly stalwart specimen
Of the genus amazon to fulfil the duties
Of butler. She is, moreover, in many
cases, dressed in livery coat and waist
coat, which look very smart, although
perhaps rather suggestive of tho stage.
Quite recently, at an afternoon party
given in London, the guests were entirely
served by q bevy of female servants, all
dressed alike in black gowns, white waist.
coats, and white caps trimmed with black
ribbons. The effect was, on the whole,
very pleasing, and the waiting was much
more efficiently and neatly done than If il
had been intrusted to cohort Of walters.

Yet. with all tho advantages Of canned
goods, some People abstain from their use,
because they think shey are unwholcs0rno.
This idea has arisen from the fact, that
among the hundreds of millions OF tins
annually consumed. there is now and then
ono imperfectly sealed. thus admitting
the air and spelling the contents. These
are easily detected. from the fact that they
generally have ssswelled" or pulled up
ends, aud, after opening. by the exercise
OF common sense in the use Of the organs
of taste and smell. No one thinks of eat.
ing decayed potato. or spoiled eggs. fish
or meats. but somo consumers seem TO
think that because thing is put up in
tin. it must be good under all circum.
stances. prepare it for the table and cat ik
without the slightest discrimination. This
sometimes results In more or less severe
attacks of cholera morbus, which. In these
days of transitional press dispatches. are MS
ually announced as canned goods poison
ing. Before the invention of canned goods,
cholera morbus was as common as Ii is
now, but 1t was called cholera morbus,
and not canned goods poisoning.
1t Is beginning to be understood by tho
medical profession and the public that
this tpye of illness Is largely the result OF
the decomposition of organic matter,
which, in its earlier stages. develops q
form of alkaloid poison. technically lnown
cs ptomaines; but such cases arc moro
common with spoiled meat, fish, milk,
cheese and ice cream than from canned
goods, and 1t is safe to say that, consider
ing the enormous amount Of canned goods
used, they arc more wholesome than any
similar amount of food not canned.--

Close observers have ascertained that
rivers running through treeless tracts Of
country are nearly, If not quite, destitute
Of fish, and that fish win desert stream
from which timber has been removed,
although they previously swarmed there
in. In the propagation of fish IL is not
enough to place the fry in water; they
must be provided with food. and tho best
means to do this is to preserve the bor-
der trees and insure steady supply Of
water and food by preserving the forests
whence the supply of food is derived. If
new forests are cultivated on tho barren
ranges, many stream now nearly empty
during the dry seasons will be reflled
with fish and food for the many.-The

Parties surrounding the springs have

We had the pleasure of meeting, a
few days ago., Mr.. Arthur Lagardc,
commission merchant of New Orleans,
who reports having sold a small lot of
new potatoes at four dollars per barrel.
From what Mr.. Lagarde reports there
will be a good demand dt remunerative
prices for the present crop of potatoes,
by reason of the fact that the last crop
III the west was a failure. As there is
a large acreage Of this esculent planted
this year it the parish of Lafourche,
the prospect ia excellent for our far
mers to reap a rich harvest this Spring.

In the present campaign Warmoth'
has raised the issue of protection, and
argues to show that the best interests
of the State will be subserved by a re-
turn to Republican domination. 1t is
needless to say that the willy Republi-
can chieftain hal" sounded a false KEY
note, in order to entrap the gullible
among ON people, but he will find,
after election day, that the good peo-
pie of this State are not to be deceived
into the belief that our State govern
ment has anything to do with the ques-
ton of protection or free trade.
Granting that every official in the
State, from the governor down, was
absolutely free trade in principle, how
could that fact affect the tariff ques-
tlon' Is not this question exclusively
within the province of Congress ?
What have State governments to do
with it? The shrewd Republican
standard bearer knows this as well as
anybody, yet he has deliberately
raised the issue of protection in the
present campaign for the reason that
he'knows that in the matter of the true
issues involved the Republican party
has nothing to offer.
