THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: SATURDAY, DECEMBER e 7, 1 © e e . _ containing 12,000 g: THE GRAND PACIFIC HOTEL. The Board of Underwriters Pay It a Vistt of Inspeciion---What They Saw and What They Think of the Risk. few Yok Meeting of the Rai'road Sockholders in the En- terprise. TYesterdaywas made an event in the recon- struction olthe Grand Pacific Hotel, by the formal and @cial visit paid to the structure by the Chicago Board of Underwriters, in a body, who carried tle closest inspection to every part of the buildig. When it is understood that this is the larest edifice in the United States, £nd that withiz a few months it is to stand with the Underwrites, with the building, furniture, eud stocks of gods exposed, a risk of $2,000,000 on s single rod, the question becomes an im- portant one, vhether, in the view of insurance experts, auy features of disregarded insecurity Temain which may and ehould bo removed. Tho Sisit was paid by Mr. George C. Clark, Drevw, Pasco, znd others of our leading insurance men, &nd a mogt thorough investigation was made of Fentures of construction and safeguards secured, fin respect to the dengers of fire, The architect, r. Loyington, George W. Gage, David A. Gege, snd Jolin 4. Hice, et 1o cacorting Darty, * 1t is noLalf-hour's werk o look througl The Pacific, for the visitor may welk & mile in its corridors and yet leave portions unexplored. Sore of the infurance men thought they had @t experienced so thorough & job of Dedes- trisnism since the epizoot. The visitors oxamined the strength of the foundation and supporting walls; the thorongh- aess with which brick partitions have been’ car- ried to the very top of the building even to the onclosing of tiie towers, the solid brick shafts that are to contain the elevators; the double system of iron girders that encirclo the entire Duilding carrying the partitions ; the bricking-in of all partitions for a height above the floor and Beneath all the windows ; the care with which flues havo been constructed, and fire-places seb ; Zhe openness of all the corridors and cross-halls; ihe stending iron pipes opening &t the curb-stone to carry water from the gteam fire engines to the roof of the building (of which & complete public test is to e given in & few days) ; the tanks on the roof ons of water; the hoist~ wzy for hose; the hose connections on every floor of the building ; the filling in of all the flcors viith concrete ; the srrangement for the ‘mest powerfal force pump in _use in this city,— 2nd, having seen and noted all this, the under- rifers are unanimous in commending the risk as of the very best possible descrip- tion in its class of risks, and de- cided that there seemed mo further Tecommendations to make. When it is con- sidered that this is really the second time so thorough a survey has been made, the visit has 2 meaning and value to the interests concerned. On the former occasion referred to, it will be re- ‘membered that the leading underwriters and the chief ofiicers and inspectors of the city Fire Department went carefully through the plans in advance of the commencement of construction, 2nd the recommendations then made were fully embodicd in the erection, so that this second ~visitis really in confirmation of the meaning of the first. The visitors were struck with the sdvanced stage of the building, which now seems likely to ‘e ready for complete occupancy in March. It is believed, on careful examination, that threa ‘months more will see tho Pacific completed and in full commission, and acting on this pressing suggestion, Hon. L. B. Otis, President of the Comapany, 'Mr. Bosingfon, tho erchitect, and Jobn A. Rice, Esq., Teprésenting the lessees, will be at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, on Mondsy next, to meet the leading representa- tives of the railroad capital invesied in tho Pa- cific, and make & final review and decision as io the decorative features of the hotel. which will be rapidly pushed by af 1mcreased forceof workmen, T.D. Gaskel, lsie of the Revere House, Rosten, who has joined his for- tunes with the_Pacific, will meet_thie party in New York, and from this time give his atien- tion to the cuisine features of the Pacific. The Company and lessces mean to spare nothing to bring their great work to_full completion in the time named, and so preesing is_the demand for it that already the room plans have begun to be marked off o prospective boarders, Our new hotel era is to introduce the new epoch of hotel boading {0 3 Jegres never ‘before realized. Tt should not be omitted, the great stress and value the Underwriters yesterday gave to the foaturs of protection to ths Pacific, that one of - its large central tower is to be mede a city look- out ard fire telegraph station. Eighty pex.cent. of the alarms nggre are made from these look- outs, and the central position of this lofty point of view will make it one of the most important Blutions, as far aspublic interests are concerned.

They were ob- served in the actby a servant girl in an adjoin- ing house, who wes ‘too frightened to raise an * alerm.

The Central Station is soon to lose the ser” vices of ono olf ?tts most useful atlaches, Oficer Peter Kiolbossa, who hag been on duty there for Soveral months, in the capacity of assistant clork and general interpreter. He has resigned to become one of Sheriff Bradley’s bailiffs. Matthew Enowles, pound-keeper at Hyde Park, was arrested recently on complaint of the Hu- mane Society, the charge being cruelty to ani- 'mals under his care. He was arraigned before Justice Haines yesterday, but was discharged from custody on technical grounds. A warrant Tor his ro-arrest was immediately issucd. The South Side vagrants and gamblers, whose arrest has been previously noted in T TrID- uxE, were ushered into the presence of the ayw- ful Banyon, yesterdey, and disposed of as fol- Jows: Marks, Lawler, Mgel, and Peters were romanded for further examination to-dsy; Devid Mallory and Tom Cody were fined 25 each; Gustav Pfiaum and John H. Maloney were discharged. Henry Cregg, saloon-keeper at No. 850 West Indiana street, was arrested, yesterdsy, by De- tectivo Simmobs, for receiving stolen Property. A quantity of cigars and holders, which were purloined from No. 187 East Wasbington street, svere found in his place. Ho will have a hearing at tho West Side Folico Court this morning. The Coroner held an inquest at No. 100 Foster street, yesterdsy, on the. body of Catherine McCormick, aged 2} years, On Wodnesday she accidentally knocked 8 kettle of boiling soup from the stove, the contents falling on her and causing injurigs from the offeots of which she died on Thursdsy. A verdict in accordunce with tho facts was rendered by the jury. The case of William Fanington, who stabbed Patrick Sullivan in the left breast, at the corner of Ewing and Genal streets, on the night of the 28th of November, was disposed of by Justice Scully yesterdsy. 'The wound was conidered to bo dengerous at the time, but Sullivan has be- como convalescent and was present during the hearing. The prisoner was Leld in 81,200 bail o anawer tho charge of assanlt with fatont to The disturbance which occurred in Schaffer's saloon, at the corner of Wentworth and Archer avenues, the other evening, appears to have had an origin and results different from those re- Pottad by the police. The facts are these: Thomas Reilly, the man who was said fo have been stabbed while attempting to separate Schaffer and another man who were quarrelig, refused to pay for beer which he had ordered, and thereby incurred the diepleasuro of the pro- prietor, who “handed him one under the ear” in the excitement of the moment. ~He was then ejected from the saloon. This is all there was to the row. An excitement was created on a Madison street car, last evening, by & domestic spectacle not ususl in this city. A little girl about five years old enterad the car, wearing a dark frock and searlet hood. Another, & complete repetition of the first in age, size, and appearance, followed ; then a third, then a fourth, then s fifth, all ex- actly the same size, apparently the same age, and ‘80 similar in feature as to be almost identi- cal. Then came the mother, carrying & sixth Little girl similarly attired, but mich younger, ‘while the seventh and last was brought in by the father, a little older than the baby. Seven children and none apparently over five years of age. H. 3. Height, proprietor of the Everett House billiard saloon, iuterviewed the Mayor yesterday inregard to billiard playing on Sunday. Hewas summoned for keeping his place open on the Sabbath, and, although fined for allowing liquor to be sold by his barkeeper, Justice Banyon de- cided that he was not amenable under the gam- bling law for permitting his billiard tables to be played upon. He desired His Honor to say whether, in case he closed his bar, and sallowed persons to play billiards next Sundsy, his license ‘would be revoked. Mayor Medill informed him that he would not make any promises or commit himself directly ; but said, if he was summoned in and convicted, he would have to take the chences of being deprived of his license. A man who gave the name of Willism Johnson reported at the Central Police Station, yester- dsy, that hebad been robbed of 3400 in money and a £100 draft, while crossing over Kinzie street bridge. on the preceding night. He stated that he arrived in the city on the 11:30 p. m, train from Duluth, and immodiately set out from the Northwestern depot to find a hotel, While proceeding over the bridge on this errand he was assanlted by three men, who lmocked bim down, kicked him-sbout the head, and robbed _him. An officer was detailed to look into the matter. His inquiries resulted in the discovery that the lsst train from Duluth arrives here at 7:40 instesd of 11:30; that the bridge-tender was on duty when John- son was robbed, and heard nothing of it, and that Johnson told & lic when ho said ho was reg- istered at the Northwestern Hotel. The police suthorities aro inclined to the belief that John- son is a fraud. On Wednesday morning last, a fellow named Jacob Miller was locked up in the County Jail to await trial for burglary. He was visited by lawyer, to whom he represented that he had a wealthy uncle named Tieler, who lived in_St. ZLouis, and who, if he could only get word to him, would help him out of his difficulty, The attorney promised to defend him, and sug- gested that he write tho “old man,” and request him to send a draft for $100. Tho letter was written, Tieler being informed thet his nephew was pining away in a cell, and that his release could be effected for $100. Yes- terday a sentlemxn visited the County Jail, and requested that he bo permitted to seo Miller. Ho said he was not his uncle, but had been dele- gated by Mr, Tieler to come to Chicago and 3 w. Tieler did not believo the prisoner to be his relative, and had refused to send the money asked for until he was sure it was him, Miller's cell was visited, and the gen- tleman pronounced him to be an impostor. The attorney has dropped the case. Among the orators of this_country who sway by their eloquence vast multitudes, none stands higher than T. DeWitt Talmage, of Brooklyn. Althau%h not so well known in the West as Henry Ward Beecher, yet ho gathers into his huge" tabernacle in Brooklyn twice s many hearers as Beecher, preaching every Sabbath to over five thousand persons. As he is to lecture in Chicago next week, it will be interesting to our readers to know in what estimation Mr. Tal- sgeis held. Mr. Spurgeon, of London, says : “Mr, Talmage's words layhold of my inmost soul.” The New York Independent says: ‘Mr, Talmage is a phenomenon. His conceptions of men and things are so vivid that he cannot be said to possess them; they possess him. He is dramatic, and cannot describe without acting. He has & clear, incisive mind, & broad and genial humor, a high and exscting conscientiousness, kindly sympathy, vivid imaginetion, snd vehe- ment passion. _ He is indeed earnest, and every blow telle.” ~Our citizens will heve an oppor- tunity of listening to Mr. Talmage in two lec- fures next week, bis subject on Thursdsy even- ing i the Michigan Avenue Baptist Church, be ¢ Grambler and Company,”—and on Fri- day evening in the Third Presbyterian Chnmh’ * Rough and Tumble Experience in California." In order to aid in raising money for the re- building of St. James Church, the ladies of the congregation bave resorted, 83 go nany others havo done before them, to the expedient of a fair, trusting thab young men maybe more readily induced to part with their money in that way than when approached by a solicitor. Ow- 1og to the disturbed condition of things on the North Side, they have taken Central Hall, at the corner of {vabesh avenue and Twenty-second street, as the scene of their operations yester- dey =afternoon. The hall, which is very conveniently sitnated for the rosi- dents of the South Side, was tastefully trimmed with evergreens and flags, and contained eight prettily-decorated tables, covered with the various useful and useless arti- cles pertaining to fairs, and presided over by the pretéy girls and statoly matrons, who take share in such concerns. Everything was pleasant and attractive, and deserved a far larger attendance than it had yesterdsy. But to-day there will, doubtless, be alarger crowd, and heavier re- ceipts. To help & church and’ buy pretty things at cheap rates for handsome women, is to have &n opportunity not lately afforded the citizens of the South Division. AMUSEMENTS, THE FIFTH RUBINGTEIN CONCERT. The Rubinstein Concert, Iast evening, drew & better audience than either of the other four, and yet there were many vacant seats £o testify that the season will close unsatisfactorily in point of attendance, although it has been one of the most decided of musical successes, The programme included a Beethoven Sonata, & Rubinstein Sonata for piano and Tvioliny Meondelssohn’s fcherzo and Capriccio, Schumann’s “Warum,” Liszt’s “Auf dem Wasser” and “Soiree de Vienne,” for Rubin- stein ; ands Bach Chaconne, Paganini's ““DiTanti Palpiti,” and his part in the Rubinstein Sonata for Wieniawski. It would he a mere repetition to go into the detailsof the performance of these numbers, They wero given with the same artistic finish that characterized these ar- tists in everything they have played. The Rubinstein Sonata was the most interesting fea- ture of the evening, particularly 8o, because so little of Iis music has been heard during his stay here. Rubinstein has ap- poared almost exclusively as a player, butthe sonate. for the first time presonted P composer of a eustained work., It is auperl:llfi instrumented and tho four movements sre 1 of beautiful and sometimes unique suggestions, especislly the andanfe. The music is un- like any other, and belongs to o school by = itself. It is the first time that Sclsvonion music hes found its way hero, and presages a mino of rich musical thought, and new forms of expression, which will yet be worked. It is & favorite theory of Rubinstein’s that music has reached its maxi-J mum, and that there is nothing more to be accomplished, and that the grest artists and composers have finished their msm’“fl: but here ig s Sonats of his own writing which dis- proves his own theory. It is full of romise of o new 8chool of music. f the old forms are disappearing, here is the starting point for the. new—the music of the future, of which Richard Wagner and Anton Tubinstein are the prophots, each working by different methods to the same end. The vocal parts of the programmo were more acceptable than they have been on any other occasion dur- ing tho week, particularly Mlle. Liebhart's sing- jng of a Dballad written for her, called Wit " Bird so- Swoetly Singing." It is an exquisite ittle song, full of characteristic fioriture, and was sung In & very tuneful way and_with some remarkably mico and clear trills and runa. Af the close it Was grectod with & demonstration of applause {rom one pert of the house, which was met with 1 decided demonstration of 'displeasure from an- other part, and for & few minutes there was quite an animated contost, which ended eventually in the triumph of Liebhart's friends. The vocalist rosppesred and _sang _for snencore, “Oh! Dear, What can the Matter Be ?* which was very apropos to-the previous contest, Dut was hurdly apropos to a Rubinstein concert. 'As usun), there was a certain number of boors in the gallery, tramping over the floors with heavy stridcs, nd slamming doors. The annoy- ance became o great during Rubinstein’s last pumber tha he was obliged o stop in the midst of one of his pieces, and, on two or three .subsequent occasions, it was with difficnlty that he could proceed at sll. Once before he has been annoyed in & similar manner and compelled to stop, The manage- ment of the theatre owe it to their musical patrons to devise some means to stop such dis- graceful proceedings, or they will drive musi- Gians away from their house entiraly. There has not been a night this week which has been free from theso interruptions, which not only_annoy artists on the stsge, but the larger part of the sudienco, also. This afternoon the last concert of the season will be given with the following excellent pro- gramme : 1. Sonate ....... 4, “Sweet Spirit, Hear My Pisyer,”. Mile.

A welcoming_speach was made by George F.

After the speeches, the ladics * present were presented to Rubinstein.

The True History of the William Tell Story. William Tell is very hard to kill. German writers in the last century demolish him, over and over again, but to little purpose. He re- mained the Swiss hero, snd what is far worse, those hideous statues at Altorf continue to as- geort their undying ugliness, and pretend to prove, by their presence there, the truth of the Btory. The giant has been recently slain once more as an 1mpostor. Once more ? Half a dozen times ; and each slayer tokes himself for the sole and original champion. Swiss dpm!ossors even have been at the work of demolition. Three or four yeers ago Mr. Baring-Gould, in his * Carions Myths of the Middle Ages,” set B 8 dozen of those myths, and bowled them down &t one bowl; he proved, as others had done, that the legend of William Tell was **as fabulous a8 any other historical event.” M. ing- Gould, howover, does more than some others bave done. He traces the story as far back as it can be traced. This is the order of the e tenth contiry s Hippling, bossiin . Inthe tenth contury a tippling, boasting Danish , soldier, named Toki, swore he could drive an arrow through an apple placed on the f}nim of a stickat a great distance. ~King Haral luetooth told the boaster that the apple should ‘e placed on his son’s head, and if Toki did not send an arrow throngh it at the first attempt, his own head shonld psy the penalty. Toki per- formed the feat with perfect success ; but Harald percoiving he had brought other arrows, de- manded the reason thereof, and Toki replied that if he had injured his son he would have driven thoso other arrows into the King's body. The story was first related by Saxo Grammati- cus in the twelfth century. 2. But in the eleventh century the above Egototypa of Tell bad successors or imitators, ing Olat, the Saint of Norwsy, challonged Eindridi, among other things, to shoot with an arrow at a writing tablet on the head of Bindridi’s son. Each was to have one shot. Olaf grazed the boy’s head, whereupon the boy’s mother interfered, and Eindridi was withdrawn from the contest. Olaf remarked that his competitor had & second arrow, which Eindridi confessed that he intended for his Majesty if anything very unpleasant had happoned to the boy 3. A yeur or two latorin this eleventh century, another Norse ercher, Hemingr, had & match with a King Harold. Haroldsot aspearshaft fors markin theground. Ho then fired in the air; the arrow turned in its descent and pierced the spear baft. Hemingr followed suit, and split the King's arrow, whigh was perp ndicularly fixed in the spear shaft. Then the g _stuck a knife in an oak. His arrow went into tho heft, Hemingr shot, and his arrow cleft ihe haft and swent into the socket of the blade. The enraged g next fired at a tender twig, which his arrow pierced, but Hemingr'a split & hazel nut growing upon it. #You shell put the nut on your Drother Bjorn’s hesd,” said Harold, *and if you do not pierce it with your spear at the firat attempt, your life shall be forfeit.” Of course, the thing was done. Hemingr is supposed to have hed his revenge by sending an arrow through Harold’s trachea at the battle of Stam- ford side, 4. In the Faroe Isles, the above Harold is gaid to bave had a swimming metch with a certain Goyti, who_not only beat him, but gave him a ducking. Harold condemned him to shoot & hazel nut off his brothor’s head under the usnal penalty, aud with the usual result. 5. The same story is told of one Puncher suggestive name) with this difference, that the object aimed st was a coin. * 6. In Finland, it is & son who shoots an apple off his.father’s head, for which feat some rob- bers who had captured his sire gave him up to the son. 7. In s Persian poem of the twelfth century, a King in sport shoots en jarrow at an apple on the head of his favorite page, who, though not hurt, died of the fright. . 8. The story, with & difference, is told of Egil, in the saga of Thidrik, of no particular date. 9. It is familiar to us in the English ballad of William of Clondesley, chronological date of event uncertain. 10, Enter William Tell in the first decade of the fourteenth century. Wo need not tell his well-known tale agsin. It is only necessary to remark,by way of comment, that the Telland Geslor legend was not st up till many yoars nnenmfe, and that in no contemporary record is any mention made of either Tell, Gesler, or the spple incident. No Vogt named Gesler ever exercised authority for the Emperor in Switzerland; no family bearing the name of Tell can be traced in any part of that conn! 11, at al try. E r':nd lastly. The hero’s name wasg not Tell but M'Leod, snd ko camo from Braemar! Mr. ing-Gould has quite over-looked him. Therefore is the new claimant's story here subjoined, in order to make the roll of legends complete. 1t is taken from ‘“The Braemar Highlands; their Tales, Traditions and History,” lizabeth Taylor. The King referred tois alcolm Canmore: i “A young man named M'Leod had been hunt- ing one day in the royal forest. A favorite hound of the King's having attacked MI'Leod, +was killed by him.” The King soon heard of the slaughter of his favorite, and was exccedingly angry—so much 80, that ’Leod wes condomned £ Shath, Tho pibbet was ereoted on Craig Choinnich, 4. ., Kenneth's Craig. Astheirwas less of justice than revenge in the sentence, little time was permitted ere it was carried into execution, The prisoner was led out by the north gato of the castle. The King, in groat state, surrounded by & crowd of his nobles, fol- lowed in procession. Sorrowiug crowds of the people came sfter, in wondering amazoment. ‘As they moved slowly on, an incident occurred hich srrested universal attention. A young woman with & child in hor arms came rushing throngh the crowd, and throwing hereelf_beforo tho King, pleaded with him to sparo her hus- band's life, though it should bo at the expense of oll they possessed. Her impassioned entreat~ ies were met with silence. Malcolm was not to bo moved from his purpose of death. “Seeing that her efforts to move the King were useless, she made her way to her husband, and throwing her arms around him, declared that she would not lenve him—she would go and die with him. Malcolm was somewhat moved by the touching scone. Allen Durward, noticing tho favorablo ‘moment ventured to put in the suggustion that it wes o pity to hang such a splondid archer. ‘A splondid aroher,is ko roplied tho King ‘thenhe shall have his skill tried’ So he ordered that M'Leod’s wife ‘and child should be placed on the opposite eide of the river; some- thing to serve as & merk was to be placed on the child'shed. If M'Leod succeeded in hitting the mark without injuring his wife or child, his life was to be spared, othorwise tho sentenco was to be carried intd exocution. Accordingly (50 the legend goos) the young wife_and ohild were put across the xiver, and placed on Tom- hainmheine ; according to some, a little farther finwn the river, near where a boathouse once stood. The width of the Dee was to be thodis- tance separating 3'Leod from his mark. He nsked for a bow and two arrows, and_having ex- amined each with the greatest care, he took his position. Tho eventful moment came, the peo- ple gatherod round Lim, and_stood in profound silence. On the opposite side of the river his wife stood, the central figure of a crowd of eager bgstundem, tears glistening on her cheeks as shie gazed alternately at her husband and child in gumb emotion, M'Leod took aim; but his Dbody shook like sn aspen leaf in tho ovening breeze. This was 2 trial for him far harder than death. Again he placed himself in position; but he trembled to such & degree thab ho could not shoot, and turning to the King, who stood mear, he said in a voice Acarcely articulate in its suppressed agony, ‘This is herd!’ But the King relented not; 50 tho third time he fell into the attitude and as he did so almost rosred, *This ig hard!” Then, 28 if all his nervousness 1ad escaped throngh the ory, helet the arrow fiy, it struck the mark. The mother soized her chlld, and in & transpott of joy seemed to devour it with kisses; while tho Eant-np emotion of the crowd found vent through 2 loud cry of wonder and triumph, which repeated itself again and again o8 the echoes Tolled slowly away amony theneig boringhills. The Kingnow approache M'Leod, end, after confirming his pardon, in- uired why he, 8o sure of hand and keen of sight, had asked two arrows? *Because, re- plied M'Leod, ‘had I missed the mark, or’ hurt my vwife or child, I was determined not to miss you.' The King grew pale, and turned away a8 if undecided what to do. His better nature pre- vailed; 80 he again approached M'Leod and with kivdly voiceand manner told him that he would recéive him into his body-g and he would be well provided for. *Never!' answered the undaunted Celt. ‘After the puinfal proof to which you have just put my heart, I could never love you enough 0 serve you faithfully.’ The King in amazement cried out. ‘Thou arta Hardy! and as Hardy thou art, so Hardy thou shaltbe” From that time M'Leod went yader the appollation of Hardy, while hus descendants wero termed the A'Hardy's, Mac being the Gaelic word for son, The date of the aboveis ridge, where he fought on tho English’ the eleventh century, when thelegend burst forth in several parts of theworld.

Xts Production and Price, A letter from Epernay, in the Pall Mall Ga- zete , says that the vintago of champsgne, which usually extends over a fortnight, has this year been prolonged in particular places. The wine- growers, however, will not suffer, as the best Bin brut, or raw wine from which champagne is prepared, and which ordinarily commands from four to five hundred francs the * piece” of 200 litres (equal to forty-four gallons), has this year been eagerly bought up by the great champagne houses at the advanced price of from eight to ‘nine hundred francs. Naturally a corresponding rise in the price of the manufactured articles— and champagne is manipulated to a dogree which renders its preparation almost one of the fine arts—might ’im looked for; but consumers of the vin mousseux par excellence may congratulate themselves that no.suchrise is in contempla- and England. He entered the city carrying the “Btars and Stripes,” and marched through Cht:?sxda, up King street, to the Guildhall, fol- lowed by a large and enthasiastio crowd.

A number of spectators. seized the shafts and drew the vohicle through the streats at o rapid ace, cresting much enthusiasm among the on- ookers. The unususl sight drew an immense crowd of spectators, who followed the carriage for miles. The route walked over bi the ser- gsmf. was from Glasgow to Ken ancaster, reston, Bolton, Manchester, Macclesfield, Bir- ‘mingham, Warwick, Oxford, and London, where bis tonr ended. He reports that during his entire journey, which hes occupied twenty-five days, commenc- ing on Tuesdsy, Nov. 5, hé has met with no mo- lestation or insult to the American flag, but has everywhere becn greeted with kindness and en- thusiasm. He has worn during his tour the dress he adopted in the United States, and hes borne prominently before him on all occasions the American flag unfarled. tion. ] Champagne —and the observation applies equallyto the finest as tothe inferiorbrands—is, contrary to common belief, e other grand wines, never the production of & single vine- yard, nor even of one species of grape, but the result of the melange of many. oreover, year after your, a3 its consumption increases, and the time-renotned vinelands of Ay; Bouzy, Ambon- nay, Verzenay, M”“f' Verzy, Cramant, and Avize, from which all fine champagnes were formerly exclusively made, have been found in- adequste to thedemands which both hemispheres annuslly make upon the manufacturars of Reims and Epernay, vineyards of inferior rank, whose produce was heretofore regarded as unsuited to the composition of so delicate & wine as_cham- pagne, are laid under contribution, and have their deficiencies of bouguet, vinosity, and saccharine essences supplied by artificial means. ‘No manufacturer of champagne of the slight- estote,although hemey produce simply one qual- ity of wine, confines himiself to wine of & single Ho makes his wine dry, sweet, or styong, sceording to the market for which it is designe Clicquot_chempagne, which still retains its old reputation, when it found its principal market in Russia, of & sweet wine, which it still i8 when prepared ' for the Russian or French markets, is always at _its driest when intended for English consumption. It is the same with the rest of the well-known brands. The strong, sweet wines go to Russia and Germany, and the inter- modiate ones to tho United States, while the lighter aro consumed principally in France, the dry and modsrataly strong winos g to Eng- 1and, the lighter onés to China, the East Indies, and hot countries ganamlljy, and the very strong ones to Austrelia and Californis, and all those districts, where gold and diamonds and such like trifies aro from timo to time “ prospected.” Champagne is the result of a compound of the juice of both black and white grapes, four-fifths of the former being generally mixed with one- fifth of the latter, and & corain per centage of sugar and spirit. It is from tho black grapes that the wine derives it solid vinous qualities, 2nd theso ere principally of the Pinot variety, 80 styled because its clusters take the conical form of the pine, being the same from which all the grand red Burgundy wines aro produced, and which, yielding' but & moderato crop, gives a wine of great strength, combined with' extreme dolioacy of flsvor, Bosides tho forogoing thore aro the Morilon nols, producing 2 light agreoablo wino, and the Pinot gris, cul- tivated in some of the Verzemay vineyards, which yields a light and perfumed wine, Of the white grapes, fo which c!’imp.gna is principally indebted for its effervescing qualities, the most noted are tho plant vert-doree, locally termed the “ golden plant of Ay,” and the Morillon blane varieties, the latter being not merely sweet rfamed, but very proliie. To these may bo added the Muscat blanc, the sweetest and ‘most perfamed of_all, producing & wine of con- siderable body, and with a very pronounced flavor of the fruit. With the exception of certain famous vine- yards of the Rhone, the vinelands of Cham- pagne may, perhaps, be classed among the most picturesque of the more notable vine districts of France. Between Paris and Epernay even the banks of the Marne presont o series of scenes of quiet beauty. The undulating ground is everywhere cultivated like a garden. Hand- some chateaux and charming country houses peep out from amid luxuriant folisge. Pic- turesque antiquated villages line tho river's bank or climb the hillsides, and after leaving Ferte-sous-Jouarre, the cradle of Condes, all the more favored alopes commenced to be covered with vines. It is not, however, until we have essed the ornate modern Gothic chatean of oursault, erected in her declining years by the ‘wealthy Vemve Clicquot, by far the smartest menipulator of the sparkling products of Ay and Bouzy of the day, and the ‘many towers and turrets of which, rising above umbrageous trees, crown the loftiest height within eye-shot of Epernay—that we find our- selves within that charmed circle of vineyards whonce champrgne—the wine, not merely of Princes, a8 it has been somewhat obsequiously t_emaed, ‘but essentially the vin de sociele—is de- rived.

There are three ways to eweep a carpet—one right and two wrong ways. One wrong wayis to hold the broom nearly in front of the oper- ator, with the handle inclined backward toward him, then press down as a forward thrust is given, thus throwing the heaviest dirt half way across the room, while the light particles are gent whirling about, covering, a8 they settle, every article of furniture. Another wrong way to sweep a carpet is_to move the broom_ forward with & heavy, drawing stroke, by which the material to be removed is pressed into tho carpet rather than worked gon- tly slong on the surface. If either of these ywrong ways is adopted, the broom will wear ont the carpet more than it is worn by the occupants of the dwelling. When a swecper collects a dust-pan full of the nap of the carpet eveitimo it is swept, & new one will soon be requirer The right way to sweep isto incline the handle a little forward, then give & light drawing stroke, sllowing the bioom, to Lirdly touch tho carpet Not one-half the weight of the broom should be allowed to press on the carpet, as the dirtis n:io;iad forwardil ]};tl:t th; rdu’t e moved and roll- ed alopg very lightly. a gonerous supply of tes grounds, small bits of wet paper, i A and wet._sawdust can be spread over the carpet before the sweeping is commenced, all the fine dirt will adhere_ to the wet material. A little smart woman who is & terror to di ill {re- quently hurl it about the room as if it were im- pelled by a whirlwind, and when the task is end- ©d her dust-pan will contain scarcely enough to gny for swanpinx,;. But by using a good broom, aving e long, elestic brush, and touching the' carpet very lightly, it will scarcely require tho strength of a child to sweep & large parlor in & fow minutes, Scarcely one housekeeper in fifty understands how to sweep a carpet correctly.— Rural Home. - Glass Clothe ore than thirty years ago, AL Bonoell, of Lille, France, discovered a mothod of weaving cloth'out of spun glass_threads, which was described as porfectly flexible, and applicable to & variety of purposes, more especially the orna- mentation of the walls of apartments.
