A HORSE TRADE. The Boston Evening Gazette is responsible for this one: When Topple was in the horse trade, he had his eyes constantly about him for a specula- tion, and one day in Vermont he fell in with, among other specimens, a horse, whose princi- pal points were the points of bone projecting through his skin—a long, lean, lank white ani- mal that had got some say Sayeed his teens, whose qualities as a good horse were vouched for by a neighbor, who said he had knowed him for twenty-four years. and a kinder critter never led oxen in a plough than he! The horse was bought at a discount and shipped with three others in a car for Buston, where he arrived safe, but searcely sound. Top- ple thought it a hard investment, and felt some- what anxious as to how he should get his money back again, concluding at last that he would undoubtediy make enough on the other three to cover the loss on this one, which he must, he conceived, sustain. He had him stabled, and then the idea occurred to Topple that he would attempt a little factitious excellenco for the poor beast and endeavor to put him off respect- ably. A horse of some celebrity had died just before. and Topple borrowed a large cover that was wont to envelope the animal after running, and covered up his own Rosinante therewith. Immediately afterwards appeared an adver- tisement in the Post and other papers that the famous trotter White Foot was on exhibition at Bailey's, and would be sold on a certain day, inviting people to call and seehim. The usual formula was gone with, of ‘sound,’ “kind.”’ “stand without tying.’’ &c., concluding with the statemont that he had gone his mile in less than three minutes. The advertisement brought many horse fanciers to the stable, where White Foot stood in a bed of straw, covered by the robe that had been borrowed. Topple thought that boldness was the best poliey, and called the attention of his visitors to the fact of the horse being so poor, venting the statement gratuitously that ho had fairly run the flesh off his bones, and it seemed prob- able, as the flesh not there As the day of sale arrived, Topple visited his r at regular periods, and with a lath vigor- 'Y applied, endeavored to excite in hima disposition to appear vigorous on inspection he fore the public, and succeeded so far that be- fore the time arrived the sound of Topple’s feet on the stable floor wrought the poor beast up to a perfect frenzy. He stamped and struggled in a manner extravagant enough to establish a targe reputation for mettle, and Topple was satisfied. ‘* Perhaps,’’ whispered he to theauc- tioneer, “‘ we may get seventy dollars for him.”’ The horse was brought to the block, and at sight of Topple he manifested every sign of spirit. His nostrils were distended; his eye brightened, and he stepped round apache y as though he were impatient to have some! bay him, that he might be going, inside of three minutes. over the road. ‘* How much am I offered for the horse ?”’ said Bailey ; “‘ how much for White Foot? Shall I have a bid?” “ Seventy five dollars,”’ said a voice. *“ Seventy-five—thank you— seventy-five— shall I hear any more ?”’ *- One hundred,” another voice. “ Twenty-five,’ first bidder. “ Fifty.” second. ‘Go on, gentlemen, said Bailey, letting the bidding proceed, seeing the competition ; “any more than one hundred and fifty for a horse that has been his mile in less than three min- utes?” ~ One hundred and sixty,”’ another bidder. “Sixty-five.” first bidder. “Seventy,” a new voice. “ Seventy-five,” firstnd second together. ‘Any more than one hundred and seventy- five? All done at one—seventy—five? Sold! Dr. Small. of Cape Cod, takes him at one hun- dred and seventy-five.” * The bid was mine.”’ said the second bidder, and I insist upon it.’” The contestant was a man living in town, and the auctioneer thought that for prudential reasons it would be better to let the beast go vut of town, if he had strength to get out, so i gravely decided that Dr. Small’s bid was the one he had heard, and to whom he had knocked off the bargain. So anxious was the disappointed man to pro- cure the horse that he offered the doctor fifteen dollars for his bargain, who informed him that he could not trade. The price, he said, was not tauch to him; he wanted a horse that would go quickly, and as he had got a good one he should hold on to hin. The money was paid over and the animal delivered to the purchaser, who procured a wagon and harness and started for home, in the hope of reaching Cape Cod in about two hours About that length of time after he left, a horse was heard moderately approaching the stable, and the face of old White-Foot was seen once more in the precinct. ~ Well,” said the doctor, as he got out of the Wagon, ‘I want to do now what I should have done before, ask about this horse Who knows z about him? This advertisement > holding up a copy of the Post, and ling the deseription—* that he has been his mile inside of three minutes; now I should like to know when ?”” “ Not more than three weeks ago he did it,”’ replied Topple: + I saw him myself.”’ “Where, for goodness suke ?"’ said the doc- tor. “On the down grade of the Rutland Rail- . in a freight car,’ replied the imperturba- Topple rc ble Se A New Beiier.—A Paris letter thus describes t lately invented by M.

WASHINGTON THE WINE VAULTS OF CINCINNATI. (Correspondence of the Newark Advertiser.) Among the chief olgeets of interest to the Stranger are the Wine Vaults, where the wine made from the’ native Catawha grape is pre- pared. Mr. N. Longworth. ono of the early settlers, and originally from Newark, is entitled to the credit of introducing this branch of bus- ineas, and now a large number ot establishments are following his example with profit. Mr. L. is especially fond of Jerseymen. and treats those who call upon him with especial attention— freely showing them his grounds and vaults, and amusing them with anecdotes and incidents of hisearly experience hero. After a pleasant call at his hospitable mansion, (which is graced by a genuine lady of the old school and ie aceom- plished daughters,) he sent a guide to pilot us to the Wine Vaal ts. or, as he seems more pleased to call them, ‘The Infernal Regions."’ If, how- ever, they do anything toward replacing the poisoned and drugged liquors now imported from abroad, at prices beyond ordinary purses, these cellars will be more of a blessing than a curse. Arrived at the vaults. our guide introduced us toa rather portly Frenchman, who ushered us into a vaulted apartment where we were fur- nished with torches, (sticks with candles on the ends.) and commended us to the guidance of a Younger person, evidently from the same nation. ‘assing through the dark labyrinth of the sub- terranean caverns which compose this mammoth eave of Bacchus, we found the sides walled up with batteries of bottles, aimed at us in a man- ner that would have made deadly work in case of an explosion ; we finally reached the bottling room, es some half adozen men were busily atwork. One was engaged drawing the wine from a huge eask—the liquor having been pre- viously sweetened. The bottles were then handed to another at the left. who with a ma- chine forced in the corks, which were previously softened with warm water These two filled and corked with the regular- ity of machinery, and rapidly enough to employ four or five others in tying or wiring down the corks *. > «After this proe the hot- tles » wed acay for several months—two Fears. if | romemne correctly —when they are Placed on racks, be wm upwards, and then en every day for a few we by this ineans the sediment ix eotl in the neck, and i+ finally thrown off hy a dexterons manner vf uncorking the bottic The deficioney of liquor caused by this process is supplied by ad- ditional syrup, the bottles recorked, labelled. and packed seady for sale. The atmosphere about Cincinnati is said to be peculiarly adapted to the growth of the grape. and the vineyards cover the hill, in the nity, giving them very much the appear- ance of the vine-growing districts of France and Southern Europe. Mr. Longworth experi- mented with # great variety of grapes, and finally settled down upon the native Catawba as the best adapted to the business in t try, and his decision appears to be justified by the enormous and increasing demand for it— which is beyond his ability to supply. It is also converted into brandy of'a fine quality, though thatis brought into market so soon after it is made, that there isa rather rank and fiery flavor which requires age to modity; there is nevertheless an aroma after the effect of the first taste which is very pleasant. The wine is now produced mostly by Ger- mans, who raise the grapes, express the juice, and thensell it to Mr. lemewort, and the other dealers. who merely prepare it for market in the cellars. This is done by storing it in enor- mous casks, containing from two to three thou- sand gallons each; after a certain period, this is drawn off into bottles, and is naturally a still, acid wine, like Sauterne. To make the sparkling wine, resembling champagne, it is sweetened with sugur, which also gives it the effervescent property. I noticed that the bot- tles used are imported, fur the alleged reason that those made in this country are not strony enough. I[tiscertainly areproach to our ylass- makers that those of us who are rivailing for- eign people, foreign lands, and foreign climes in the complicated matter of wine making, should be obliged to import the bottles to put itin. an Se pega Mock Avction.—Seene—A Store in Broad- away, New York, near Warren street-—A Ked Klag hanging at the Door—A greenhoru named Mr. Jones. from Hartford, is stopped while careering down Broadway by the sound of a stentorian voice from within erying ‘going.’ He hears the whack of the auctioneer’s mallet, and sees six gent/emen standing round a table. “Things are selling mighty cheap in there, says he, and in. eter Funk holds a piece of linen in his hand, and is just on the point of knocking it down at six conta ayard—‘*95} yards, going at sixcents ! an awful sacrifice !’’ ** Seven,’’ says Jones. « Eight,” says Stool Pigeon. “ Nine,” says Jones.

Mr. Jones, accordingly, to prevent being housed with the precious seamps, steps out and travels towards the Tombs, where he finds a Metropolitan policeman, and tells his tale of woe. In a tew moments the swindling- shop and the inmates, which, meantime, have got under full headway again, are taken ail aback with an apparition; it is Mr. Jones, with that linen under his arm and a person with a brass shield on the lappel of his cuat.
