CHAMPAGNE BOTTLES.

The Old Bottles Arc Of No Use for New
Wine.
From the Pail Mall Budget.
In bottling champagne the quality Of
the bottles is very important matter.
Unless their strength is very considerable
there is sure to be terrible waste by
breakage. Champagne bottles cannot
be used second time, az the pressure to
which they are subjected seems, in some
unexplained fashion, to strain the glass
80 as to make it unfit for future use.
Indeed, 1t is stated that thrifty manu-
facturer who once made the experiment
Of putting new wine into old bottles, TO
the number Of 5000, speedily found his
cellar filed with broken glass and
flooded with wine, lcss than score Of
bottles out of the whole remaining in
tact.
After being bottled the wine is at once
corAed, the corks are secured with an in.
genious continuance which Iispsnses
with wires, and the tottles are usually
kept in the warehouse above ground, at q
temperature warm enough to encourage
etfervescence, unless indeed the wine
contains sufficient carbonic acid gas to
dispense with this stage. Then they are
sent down to the cellars, are stacked in
horizontal position, and are left to ma.
ture for period varying from ten
months 70 three or even four years.

TIE PORTAGE RAILWAY.
THE STATEMENT FALSE.


The Governor Of Oregon Denies Report
Which has Been Given Wide Circu--
latiOn.
Governor Pennoyer says that the state.
ment in the Washington dispatch Of Feb.
ruary Let to the Oregonian, that he had
written to Speaker Crisp and other dem
ocrats in the house to defeat by all means
any project for a boat-railway scheme, is
absolutely without foundation. He said
his whole offense, if any, was in urging
the passage OF an appropriation for
portage railway, and in that matter he
had the support Of the legislature OF Ore.
gOn, as that body, at it's last session, had
unanimously passed concurrent resolu'
ton asking for such appropriation. AZ
to his receiving no reply from the CHIEF
of engineers he expressed no disappolnt'
ment. That functionary in January,
1889, recommended portage road, and
in December, 1889, opposed it, and the
OF such whiting judgment to reply 70
his letter, he said, did not cause him an!
loss OF sleep. The governor believedfhst
the dispatch was doubtless instigated oy
one or both Of our senators, and he was
content to let the people of Oregon decide
which scheme was the most beneficial
the portage railroad. costing $43l ,boO,
which could be built in one year, or the
portage railway, costing $2,S6O,So6,
which, it the appropriation were made
by the government, as appropriations
have been made for the Cascade locks,
would occupy more than twenty'fouf
years In its construction.

The Dreaded Yellow Jack .

Captain Yarker, of the steamer Button,
which arrived Thursday from Brazilian
ports, says that the health of Santos and
other seaports is terrible. 1t is i'm
possible to estimate the number OF
deaths from yellow fever People drop
down in the streets and lie where they
fall until they die. Every cemetery is
over crowded and neighboring fields are
being utilized for the purposes of burial.
The coast section Of the country is in a
general state of decentralization. 1t is a
common sight, the captain says, in the
streets of Santos and Bahia to see q
dozen OF dead or dying men or women
lying in the roads in one square.

A NEWSPAPER MANS JOKE.

Justice Bradley. Lately Deceased, One oi
the Principals In It.
When the late Justice Bradley, OF the
United States supreme court, was a
young lawyer, he was called upon to pros
ecute suit for criminal libel against q
newspaper, in which he was ignomini-
ously defeated by shrewd trick. One
morning prominent citizen entered Law
yer Bradley's Office, foaming with rage.
He exhibited copy Of an obscure sheet
that had made a villainous attack upon
him. He was accused of all kinds OF
crimes, declared to be a thief, and an es-
capped criminal, and held up to public
contempt and execration as the vilest OF
the vile. A marked copy of the paper
containing this attack had been sent him,
and if the editor could have witnessed his
fury he would no doubt have been de-
lighted. Mr.. Bradley was directed to
bring suit at once, and felt perfectly con-
hdent OF success, as, apparently, no
clearer case 1T criminal libel could have
been devise l. But surprise was in
store for him. The editor set up the de-
Tense that the libel had not been circu-
lated by ahyso but the person iibeled.
and he proved his case. The forms con-
tanning the Objectionable article had been
used to print but single copy of the pa.
per. 1t was then taken of the press,
and this one copy went to the man at
tackled. No other copy had LETT the office,
and the only ones who had seen it out
side the office were Mr. Bradley's client
and those to whom he had shown it.
The case fell dead, and during his long
career as a jurist, Judge Bradley was al
ways OH the lookout for some trick on
the part Of some interruptions newspA-

Love Ruined Him .

Some time ago Morris Peyser, of Port
Townsend, fell in love with black-eyed
Jewish maiden in Southern California,
who at first was not inclined to favor
his suit, but finally capitulated. On his
wedding day he presented his father-in-
law with a certified check for 5000 and
it is thought that this had great deal to
do with the young lady's acquiescence.
They went on short bridal tour, and on
their return the winhing damsel per.
suaded her infatuated lord and master to
transfer his Port Townsend store over to
his loved father in.law. The old folks
allowed the young people to live in their
San Francisco residence, and they came
to Port Townsend. The first thing done
was to bounce Peyser's brother, whom
Morris had left in charge, from the store,
and then Coleman, the father-in.law
wired his daughter to leave her lord and
t1y to the arms of her parents. She flew.
Now Morris has commenced q suit for
divorce and to annul the transfer of the
property.

Sage Brush Paper.

Robert Laing, q resident of Boise City,
has made discovery which may be OF
great value to the sage-brush district.
Some time ago he became imbued with
the idea that sage brush might be con.
verted into . coarser grade of paper. He
secured wagon-i0ad of the supposedly
useless shrub and began to experiment.
BY using u lime process and treating the
limbs OF the brush to protracted boiling,
he secured q pulp that more than salts
fled his expectations. 1t was equal to
the very beet wood pulp, and the pres
ence Of a long and strong fibre was
plainly demonstrated. Mr.. Laing states
that he can manufacture sage brush
paper ut q small cost, that can make q
profit by selling it at ~ cents per pound
He will start East on Monday, his idea
being to interest capitalists to aid him
in developing his discovery.
