Notes.

The Senate Tuesday afternoon passed the
bill placing General Fremont on the retired
list of the army with the rank and pay of
major general. by vote of 30 to 81. There
does not appear to be any prospect that the
present House will act favorably upon this
measure, and in all probability it win never
reach a vote in that body.
The Senate has been compelled to abandon
its effort to secure an equitable system of
mail pay to ocean steamships in this Con-
gress. The Republicans abandoned the eff
fort and receded from their amendment, thus
passing the bill without the mail pay pro-
position. This was not done, however, with
out calling the attention of the country that
it is the policy of the dominant party in the
House and of the Executive to refuse to do
justice to American steamships engaged in
carrying the mails.

How to Drink Wine.

In order to cultivate a correct taste
for wines, one should learn how to
drink them. 70 know how to enter
tain friends when wine is INDUCED In
belongs only to the host gifted with
knowledge of his wines, and tact and
discrimination in selecting and serv-
ing. There is both art and science in
drinking. The following general rules
may be laid down, which will serve
AS a guide to the beginner:
With fish, white wines.
With meat, rich red wines, or cham
paigne.
At the end Of repast, the oldest red
wine.
After desert, white, sweet wines, or
brandy and coffee.
Regarding the selection Of red
wines, the rule is to begin with the
newest and least celebrated. A few
spOonfuls of soup warns up the stom-
ach, and mOuthful of good old
Sherry wakens the gustatory organs
to all the pleasures of the table. With
the oysters followed by the fish come
the Dry Catawba, Riesling, Dry Iona
or Dry Isabella. When the fish and
oysters are removed, these wines go
with them. When the meats are
brought on, fine rich Claret should
bear them company. With richer
meats, such as roast beef, venison, or
Otner wild meat, Il rich Burgundy
should be served.-New York Wine
and Fruit Grower.

A SOAP Trust.

PITTsBURG, July PA movement
is on foot among soap manufacturers
in the United States, to form a soap
trust. The meeting was held in New
York City recently, and plans of Or
ganization were discussed, but no
definite action taken. 1t is proposed
to hold another meeting shortly, and
perfect the organization. The asso-
citation will regulate prices and pro-
duction, and endeavor to secure legis-
lation that will protect the best inter
ests of the manufacturers.

Chinese Wives on Strike.

The most extreme advocates of Wo-
mems rights in the Western world
seem to be but mild and timid theor-
lists compared with the women folk in
the district of Shun-te, in Kuantung.
In this part of the Celestial Empire
we are told by the Chinese Times that
the young women league themselves
into societies, and solemnly VOW that
they will not marry, or that if they
marry they will not live with their
husbands until every member of their
society has en- tered into ina trimony. In
accordance with these vows. the brides
invariably go back to their homes after
the ceremony and do not make their
appearance among their husbands
family again except on the occasion of
the New Year and other important
festivals. Then they come over,n
and, after remaining for day or so,
during which time they partake of
neither food or drink, they take them
selves off with the greatest expedi-
ton possible. Those husbands who
are able to enjoy the society of their
wives within two or three years after
marrying are, we are assured, rare
and exceptional instances of good
fortune. The darkest feature of the
business, however, is yet to come; for
it appears that upon The occasion of
one of these flying visits force is
employed to deuain the ladies. They
always turn this comedy into a TRACE
dy by committing suicide.-Londo don
