What is champagne? Originally the
title was applied to the efferyescent
white wine made of the grapes grown
in the ancient county of Champagne.
This province, $50 miles long by $50
miles broad, had its capital at Troyes
and was governed by its own counts
until 1861, when it was incorporated
in the kingdom of France The prov
inee forms the present departments of
Marine, e-Afarne. Seine-et- -Marne,
Aube, Ardennes, Aisne and Yonne. In
many parts of the ancient province
grapes grew above a chalky subsoil

But with the present prospect OF a

intention of the French government to
prevent Aubois from calling their wine

grew restless. Early in Apri! the com

the chamber of deputies a modification
