CHAMPAGNE PUSHERS:
Their Work by No Means as Pleasant a
Some Might Think.

Their Work by No Means as Pleasant as
Some Might Think.
If there is any harder work than the
champagne pushers have had to do in this
city during the last fortnight, / can not COM
prehend what it can be, writes the New
York correspondent of the Providence (R
L) Journal. 1t is bestial work as well as
difficult AS one great champagne importer
put 1t in talking on the subject, the very
charm and merit of champagne is supposed
to lie in the fact that the fluid has not much
''drunk" in it, the proportion of alcohol
being only slightly greater than that in
lager beer; yet these pushers advertise Z
by getting drunk on IL every night. Il Is
said for this wine that the worst effects are
felt by men who drink spirits; that those
who drink nothing but champagne are sell
dom intoxicated by it. The pushers have
to drink spirits because their systems need
bracing after each of their professional
bouts in the bar-rooms. How long it takes
for their work to kill them / never have
heard.
The principal pusher in this city, a very
fat, sleek Frenchman, tells me that he be-
lieves he can overcome all injurious effects
by sleeping all the time that he is not at
work. He bribes the hall boys and cham
bermaids not to make any noise at his door
or near his room, and not on any account
to knock at his door under the impression
that he may be dead or that they must
get him out and 'make up'' his room. But
although he looks fresh and shows no signs
of nervous wear and tear, the others in the
business are rather sad-looking, bloated
and coarse wretches. The young society
gentleman who took up this boozy calling
for pocket money is no longer an eXemplar
of manly beauty. No amount of fine clothes
can overcome the effect of his deadened,
fish-like eyes, his bloated cheeks, his van
ished color and his general worn out, dead
and-alive appearance. No money would
pay him tor what has happened TO him NOR
ally, physically or socially.
But the queerest thing about the whole
subject is that the pushing does not push.
The wines that are advertised in this way
do not have the vogue after all, and to-day
the most popular and best paying importa-
tion is brand that has never been pushed
at all. 1t looks as though the good fame of
brand was hurt by making it notorious.
Wine pushing is not carried on in any
other country, and seems likely to die out
here. 1t was originated by "good fellow
about town who had tremendous ac-
qua.ntance with the politicians of the city
in Tweed's time. He ran the sale of one
wine up to figure higher than any one in
the business had ever dreamed of its reach
ing, and he got $4,000 year for his work.
1t left two legacies TO humanity, taste
for champagne in every politicians mouth
and a general recourse to pushing, none
of which has done any good to any brand
since

LUCK IN COPPER BOLTS.
A Chance Discovery Lays the Foundati
of Stevedore's Fortune.

A Chance Discovery Lays the Foundation
of Stevedore's Fortune,
The fortunes of some men have theil
foundation in very queer incidents. Elmer
A. Barton, of Duluth, Mimi, says the Chi
cago Herald, is comparatively a wealthy
man, while fifteen years ago he was a day
laborer getting q job whenever he could
unloading vessels, or any thing, in fact, he
could find, but work around the docks was
what he most looked after, and this fact
was indirectly the cause of his streak OF
luck. Lying outside the harbor Of Duluth
was the nearly submerged hull of a vessel
No one appeared to know how long it had
been there, but "the wreck" as it was
called, was considered one of the features
OF the place. The boys used il as a swim
ming station, ano it was proud day for
many q Duluth Toy when he could say he
had been able to r'ach ''the wreck" This
was another link in the chain of Barton's
luck. He had a son who, with the other
boys, made daily excursions through the
summer out to the old hulk, and one day
this son brought back with HIM one of the
bolts and q piece of wood that had become
loosened. BY chance the father saw the
bolt, and he asked the boy some questions,
the result being that he himself
made a trip out to the wreck in
a small boat, taking an axe with
him. After this excursion, Mr. Barton be-
gan making inquiries about the old boat, but
could get no information as TO when she ar
rived there, or when she was sunk, or
where she came from. He also managed to
get permission from the authorities to re-
move it, the permission being the more
readily given as it was in the way Of some
proposed harbor improvements. Mr.. Bar
ton began his work quietly-making no stir
about it. He managed. by the aid of long
saws, long-handled axes and hooks, to de-
tach piece after piece and get it ashore,
piling it up in the yard that surrounded his
cabin. 1t took him nearly the entire year
of 1874 to do this work. but it proved profit
able job. That bolt the boy had brought
home was solid copper, and it opened the
fathers eyes to the possibilities. His in
vestigation showed him that all the bolts in
sight were of the same metal, and when he
had completed his labor he had secured
many hundreds of pounds in weight of
valuable copper. Besides this, he had in
the cords of wood piled up on his lot a value
that proved great surprise to him. The
vessel had evidently been of foreign build,
for she was composed of a number of differ
ent and valuable woods, the bulk of 1t being
teak, specie of oak, but there were large
quantities of mahogany, some rosewood and
a little ebony. Altogether it was a good
years. work He found ready market for
his copper bolts, and the wood going off
piece by piece brought him nice little sum
1t was this money that gave him his start in
life, and he was shrewd enough to make
each dollar multiply and increase.

greatest loss is from the water
thrown by the engines, and will not
