PREVENTION OF DISEASES.
Many of the diseases to which our domes
tic ftuiTnalfi are subject notwithstanding
that some of them, when fully developed,
are either dangerous, chronic, or incurable
can be easily prevented, in a great many
cases, by ordinary precaution. -Not a few
have this principal source even in a wrong
or injudicious treatment, although the lat
ter, in some instances, may be well meant.
As such diseases, wc will mention only a few
of the principal and most frequent ones, such,
as founder, colic, and, in a majority of cases,
heaves and many other diseases of the respi
ratory organs, and will draw the attention
of the readers of The Tribune toward
such cases of injudicious treatment
as are very frequent, and which, not
withstanding that the same can be easily
avoided, must be considered as the principal
causes of those diseases. It is true, the most
cases of sickness in our domestic animals oc
cur during the spring, hut it is equally true
that, probably in a majority of cases, the
primary and predisposing causes can be
traced back to noxious agencies that have
been acting already during the winter; for,
in that season a majority of our domestic an
imals are kept far less according to nature
than in the summer. During the winter,
they have to subsist entirely on dry food;
while during the summer, a great many of
them have the benefit of feeding upon tbe
green and juicy grasses of the pasture. Dur
ing tbe winter, a great manyoi our domestic
animals either are exposed to the inclemen
cies of the weather, without being provided
with sufficient heating material—that is,
food—to resist tbe cold; or the same are
kept tied in a small jand illy-ventilaled|sta
ble. —have to breathe not only the
foul air exhaled by themselves aud the ani
mals that are kept with them, but also the
n xious gases that develop from the manure
accumulating iu such a stable, and the elllu
via from the neighboring dungyard. But all
these very injurious agencies
seem to be of not as great an importance, at
least their influence is not so immediate, as
the consequences of some mistakes that are
frequently made in the feeding and in the
ceneral treatment of our domestic animals,
especially of norsee; and about those mis
takes I want to say a few words of caution.
Some of them occur more freuuently iu the
winter than at any other time of the year,
for the simple reason that, during the winter,
the keeping of our domestic animals is, and
must be, much more an artificial one than in
any other season.
FEEDING IMMEDIATELY AFTER WORK.
One of tbe most serious of those mistakes,
aud afrequent cause of founders audof colic,
consists of feeding a horse or mule that has
Lad severe exercise, has performed hard
labor, aud, perhaps, is covered all over with
perspiration, immediately, as soon as the
Mime has come into his stall, with a good
feed of grain, such as corn, oats, meal, etc.
During exercise, a great deal of organic
waste and change of material is taking place
in the motory apparatus, especially in the
motorv muscles, and, in consequence, much
mere blood is demanded by, aud carried to,
those organs, than there would he when the
animal is resting; that is, in other words,
the circulation of the blood through the body
is adjusted to the increased wants of
the motory organs. If, for argument's sake,
we call the distribution of the blood through
the animal body a normal one. as it is when
the animal is standing quietly in the stable,
or when none of the different organs of its
body is active in an extraordinary degree,
then the distribution of the blood must be
called abnormal, at least is much changed,
when the motory apparatus, or any other
class of organs, is drawn into an exfefftordi
nary activity. Such a change, however, in
the distribution of the blood, aud, conse
quently, in the circulation of the same, can
not take place very suddenly neither can it
be reduced to a normal condition iust as
quickly as theextraordinaryactiviryof acer
taln organ or a class of organs—of the motory
organs, for instance, —can be stopped; for,
during their extraordinary activity, a con
siderable waste of organic matter has taken
place, which must first bo repaired before
The circulation and the distribution of the
blood can be equalized again. After severe
muscular exertions, this process of equaliza
tion takes from half au hour to an hour, aud,
under circumstances, even longer. There
fore, after severe exercises, especially if the
came have been continued long enough to
cause considerable organic waste, uo heavy
food should be given witliin the first hour.
Heavy food (gram, etc., but especially corn)
demands the~full digestive powers of the
stomach and the other digestive
organs; hence makes it necessary that
Those errganslire supplied with au increased
quantity of blood. Therefore, if such, food
is given, and, as is often the case, in an un
commonly large quantity, too, immediately
after hard and lasting exercises of the mus
cles,—that is/before the circulation and the
distribution of the blood havo been equal
ized,—the consequence will be, that either
the digestive process cannot be introduced,
—colic; or that serious disturbances will
occur iu the circulation of the blood, and in
the absorption of the organic waste and its
repair iu the motory apparatus, especially iu
the lower extremities, in the feet,—founder.
WORKING IMMEDIATELY AFTER FEEDING.
Nearly the same results, aud for the same
reasons*, mav be effected when a horse is
used for ham work, and severe and lasting
exercises, immediately after he has finished
liis meal of grain, especially then, when the
muscular exercise begins before the digest
ive process has been fairly commenced. In
such a ease, colic is the frequent conse
quence.
DAMAGED FOOD.
In the winter, when horses have to subsist
totally on the food we give them,—when no
choice is left them but to eat what
we put in their manger,—great care
should be taken that their food is
wholesome and of the best quality. The
consequences of feeding musty, dusty, and
mouldy hay—heaves, indigestion, and eyc
ciseases—are well enough known. They
have been ventilated several times in the
columns of The Tihbuxe, and need scarcely
any mentioning. The feeding of must}’ and
mouldy grain, especially of musty oats, also
has a tendency to produce heaves, eye-dis
eases, and diseases of the intestines, and
urinary organs, and should ho avoided if
possible. If one is obliged to feed such dam
aged grain, the latter should be kiln-dried,
so that the mould may be destroyed before it
is fed to an animal.
BLANKETS.
A great many grooms, and even owners, of
horses, especially in cities and towns, are in
the habit of having their horses always
covered with blankets, which, of course,
makes tbeir skin very tender and delicate,
prevents the natural growth of the hair dur
ing the cold season, and thereby exposes the
animals a great deal more to catching cold,
if they are a short time without their blanket
when not exercised. Others have their
horses covered with blankets even during
exercise, and make them in that way per
spire more freely, which is wrong
altogether, and frequently a source of
catching cold afterward, when the blanket
is removed. To make the skin of a horse
used lor service so very delicate and soft,
can have none but bad consequences. Prop
er grooming and cleaning the skin, and keep
ing the same in normal activity, is good and
necessary; but putting a blanket on a horse
when he is standing idle in a good and com
fortable stable, is perfectly useless, except
when he has just come home perspiring from
exercise. To blanket a horse when working,
even if it is in the winter, is not only user
less—as his exercise is well able to keep those
parts of his body warm that are covered by tho
blankets, but iajilso injurious, as it makes
him very much predisposed to catching cold.
On the other hand a blanket is needed very
much when, as it happens very often, horses
which, perhaps, have made a long trip and
are perspiring all over, are tied to a hitching
post or to a fence, and exposed to wind and
cold. Such a neglect, and also too great ten
derness of the skin, produced by an injudi
cious use of blankets at a time when they are
not needed at all, must bo considered as the
cause of many rheumatic and catarrhal diseas
es,especially of the respiratory organs and of
the digestive canal. Another abuse ef
blankets and buffalo robes is frequently
maup when horses are suffering from pneu
monia or pleuntia, or such diseases of tho
respiratory organs in which the respiration
is very much accelerated. It in such a dis
ease. the patient is covered with several
woollen blankets and buffalo robes or sheen
Bkius, the respiration necessarily becomes
etill more difficult and considerably accel
erated, especially if, at tho same lime, the
patients are kept in a small stable, tilled
with bad air and the effluvium of the
manure.
CLEANLINESS,
Exact cleanliness in a stable is also of the
Greatest importance for the health of horses,
and of other animals, too, not only on ac
count of the production of noxious gases
that will take place when the manure and
mine are allowed to accumulate, but also on
account of the bad influences such accumu
lating manure, filth and constant dampness
will have directly upon the hoofs, and even
upon the legs, of the animals—resulting, in
liorses, very frequently in causing thrush,
scratches, and grease-heel.

A Duel Imminent —Kecontrc of Two Ken
tucky miliary Chieftains,
Prom the CiQcirnatl Enquirer. Dec. 2.
Last night our sister city of Covington was
considerablv agitated over the circulation of
a report that two of her prominent citizens
—men who had become well known by their
military record on many a battle-field, as
■well as in the simpler avocations of peace—
Lad. some time during the day, indulged in
a personal altercation, which ended, for the
time being, in blows, bat which, without
doubt, would find a continuance, and prob
ably a tragic dose, on the field ot honor and
under the strictest requirements of the code.
General 6.0. Bnrbridge and Colonel VV edm
O’Neil are the parlies at issue, both of whom,
after having been engaged on mam' a well
fought battlefield, are now sporting their
laurel leaves and earning a subsistence by the
collection of claims arising against
the Government during and since
fho war. Now, in the transaction of
this business of claim collecting there slips
in a third party, who represents the govern
ment, and examines, or is supposed to ex
amine, into all accounts presented, to ascer
tain whether they be just and right and
deserving of payment, or the reverse. The
name of the adjustor in*this department is
Captain Johnson, and his resiaciicq, by a
curious coincidence, is also in Covington,
and until lately, the General, the Colonel,
and the Captain, par mobile frairmn m the
school of war, have been warm personal
friends.
Only until lately, however. For on yester
day morning, when the Captain and the
Colonel chanced to meet, near the corner of
Fifth aud Madison streets, the Captain man
ifested a decided coolness toward liis whilom
friend, and, after the stiff formality of a
ceremonious bow had been gone through
with, stopped him, saying that ho
wanted an explanation from him. Ho said
he had been informed that ho (the Colonel),
iu trying to work up his business iu Boone,
and one or two adjoining counties, bad rep
resented that he had the inside track with
the government agent, and that auy claims
he might take would be passed, and their
payment ordered without too close a scruti
vy into their justness. The Captain went on
further to say, that while he had valued his
friendship, that should be no inducement to
him to pass a fraudulent claim, aud when ho
represented that it would, ho had stated
what was not true.
“It’s ad—d lie,”the Colonel responded.
“I never said such a thing.”
But I have it from good authority,” was
the answer.
“I don't care who said it. Its a lie,” re
joined the Colonel. “Who told yon?”
Now at this very moment General Bnrbndgo
was crossing the street, and just as ho stop
ped on the curb aud was about to join his two
supposed friends, the Captain answered the
question by saying, Generalßurbridge hero
told me.”
“If General Bnrbridgo told you so, lie is a
d—d liar,” angrily responded the Colonel.
A second after, a well directed blow from
the General’s fist sent the Colonel spinning
to tbe other side of the walk. Before the
blow could be returned, mutual friends of
both parties interfered and led them away in
different directions. During the rest of the
day, as we have said before, reports were con
stantly being circulated that a challenge had
been scut and accepted, seconds nominated
aud that a hostile meeting was inevitable,
rumor even going so far as To say that it
would take place this morning, aud on the
frosty mead iu the immediate neighborhood
of Newport.
FASHIONS.
For Gentlemen and Ladies*
From the N’ew York Tribune, Doc. 1.
(IKXTI.FMF.N’S FASHION’S,
Tholi.it for promenading, half-dress, and
perhaps for business, is the silk hat, rather
low, slightly over six inches in tho height
of the crown, which is bell-shaped, the brim
is mm ow—about two inches wide—turned at
the sides, but not rolled this stylo is valued
at 69.00. The Alpine hat is passe, owing to
its great popularity. Wo imd, then, tho
Grand Duke felt hat, for rcgularbiisiness
wear, with handsome high square crown,
and brim rather narrow; for this, $5.00. A
perfect opera hat is of ribbed silk, simulat
ing a beaver, but the springs inside enabling
one to carry it llatly beneath the arm. In
the pocket, also, may be carried instead, a
little soft cap. Astrakhan caps are no lon
ger fashionable; the becoming seal-skin tur
bans take their place, Also, Persian lamb
skin in black, is exceedingly becoming to
blondes.
For suits of full dress, particularly at wed
dings, receptions, and the opera, black only
is atlmissable; a tine black broadcloth swal
low-tailed coat, which has not changed its
shape; a single-breasted waistcoat, cut ex
ceedingly low, with rolling collar; the
trowsers are narrow and lit closely. For
throat ornamentation,fashion is very liberal.
There are many pretty and tasteful varieties.
Upon full dress occasions, tho neck-tie is
iuvariablv white, in delicate transparent
lawn, rich twilled silk, snowy crepe de diene,
or corded silk with exquisitely embroidered
ends. For the opera, pearl color, pale
lavender, and the faintest tint of ashes
of roses can be worn in tho tie, with
gloves to match. The tics are quite nar
row, perhaps an inch or less in width, tied m
a petite bow; the fashionable collar is
standing, the points, which nearly meet in
front over the bow, tire delicately turned
over. The Alexis butterlly bow is a bow
with two ends. There is another species of
tic, the arrangement of which has become a
science. A rich scarf gives opportunity for
the display of an onyx or diamond. For
these daintv little scraps of vanity, most un
reasonable prices are asked. The fashionable
full dress sack overcoat is very dhtinync
this season, in light cafe au tail, exceedingly
line, yet thick, lined throughout with soft
silk, and tho collar and faeiugs of velvet;
these range in price as high as $75.
The second best suit, or rather semi-dress,
which 5s devoted to concerts, calls, quiet eve
ning receptions, promenading, church, din
ners and lunches with ladies, is composed of
an invisible-blue broadcloth, verging upon;
black, double-breasted, varying from
those of last. year in being
longer. Waistcoat and trowsers of thejsame
but a white waistcoat and trowsers, if a
delicate lavcndar, are equally fashionable,
if the taste of the wearer so demands. Tho
overcoat may be censured for lack of style,
being plain and dark material, in beaver.
More graceful, however, are the fine fur
beaver overcoats, worth $95, the collar dis
closing a glimpse of the dainty necktie. For
solid business suits, all varieties of rough
stuffs are affected the mixed English goods
—a hair stripe of white in black, striped cas
simeres. and pepper-and-salt. Tho dashing
cm-away coat is short, double-breasted,
square in front, large Haps to the pockets.
The waistcoat and trowsers are of the
came couds. Two waistcoats accompany
ihisstvlc of dress; one must be buttoned
three buttons, “no more," says Monsieur La
Mvih-; the other is single-breasted,no collar,
and buttoned closely up to the throat. These
suits range in price from S7O to $455.

THE GLACIERS OF AMERICA.
Their Origin and Course.
Prof. James D. Dana, tlio distinguished
geologist of Yale, lias just published in the,
Aimrican Journal of Science an interesting ami
valuable paper on the position and height
of the elevated plateau in which the glacier
of New England, in the glacial era, had its
origin.” The Professor introduces his re
search with the just remark that the ex
istence of a region of high elevation
in northern America as source of
a continued glacier in the glacial era has
often been assumed, but rather because the
glacial theory was lame without it than as a
result of special research with respect to the
extent and location of such a region.” Pro
fessor Dana then concisely gives the direc
tion of the glacial furrows or scratches cross
ing the Green and 'White Mountains, and
shows that they could not have been made
with the land of North Amerieaat its present
level, and that these scratches on the rocky 1
summits of New England point toward some
great region of elevated lauds, on the slopes
of which the stupendous glacier began its
southerly motion.
The scratches point over Lake Champlain,
the low hills and plains beyond, and across
the St. Lawrence to the valley of the Otta
wa, which extends to a point nearly live hun
dred miles in an air-line from Mount Mans
field, and five hundred and seventy miles
from the White Mountains, with an average
trend of south sixty-livo degrees cast. The
glacier-scratches point to the eastward of
the Ottawa, at least as far east as tho re
gion northeast of Lake Tcmiscaming, on tho
•watershed between the St. Lawrence Val
ley and Hudson’s Bay, and as tho scratches
ot the White Mountains and Green Moun
tains and those of the lower part of the Ot
tawa Valley all point toward this area, as do
also the glacial marks of Northern Maine, of
the adjoining region of Canada, of Western
New York, and of Lake Huron, Professor
liana thinks that he is justilied in siting
that the icy plateau whence tho great gla
cier took its departure must have existed
somewhere on the western border of Hud
son’s Buy.
According to Professor Gnyot, tbc average
height of the Green Mountain range is thir
ty-live hundred feet. Tho distance from
Mount Manslieid to tho sea west of south
eastern Massachusetts is two hundred
miles. The scratches in this mountain point
southeastward to tho upper Merrimack
vallev, and those of this valley and of
the adjoining region down this valley in
the direction of Boston Bay; and to this bay
tbe distance from the summit of Mount
Manslieid is but one hundred and seventy
live miles. Still, taking two hundred
miles as the length of the old glacier from
Mount Manslieid to the sea, and thirty-live
hundred feet as tho average height of tho
Green Mountains in Vermont, the average
rate of descent in the land is seventeen and
a half feel in a mile. This was consequently
the amount of slope that moved the glacier
of a large part of New England.
To have moved the same glacier from tho
northwestward across the Green Moun
tains. and to have abraded their highest
summits and also scored surfaces on the
White Mountains, that are full live
thousand two hundred feet above
tbe sea, the slope of of tbe icy plateau
must have been higher than 5,200 feet. Wo
can assume that this plateau,
whence originated the glacier, had a rate of
descent toward the 5,200 foot level on tho
While Mountains, of at least three feet to
the mile, and this rate for 400 miles would
make the height of the plateau about 0.400
feet. The water shed about Hudson’s Bay
is now 1,500 feet above tbe sea,therefore, tho
average elevation of this region
must have been about 4,000
feet greater than now’. “Ills not supposed,
or BupiMisable,” says Professor Dana, that
the region was the course of a range of
crested mountains that have since been
washed away. No facts favor such an
extravagant assumption. All thattheca.sc
demands is simply a bonding inward
of tbe surface over a wide area
through a general continental movement
of the coast, having its greatest re
sults in the north; and such we may be
lieve it to have been. Similar oscillations
of surface upward, (sec J-Jmwnj Pont of No
vember 4 under Our Scientific Summary”),
ami again downward, have taken place
through all geological time, and they are
still in progress: and geologists have detect
ed them on seashores where there is a stan
dard water-level for comparison. Moreover,
the work of lifting continents and raising
mountain chains went forward on a stupen
dous scale over Europe, Asia, and both Amer
icas. through the whole era of tho tertiary.”
Southeastward!}’moved the great glacier
down the valley of tho Ottawa and on tho
slopes to the east of it, having, to this dis
tant day, the track tf its course engraved
deeply m the Pocky Mountain flanks. With
from 0,000 to 8,000 feet thickness of ice, the
glacier kept on its course, guided only by the
general slope of the land, but at the same
time moulded itself into the larger
valleys and into many oven of the
local slopes. Tho_ intense cold that is
known to have existed in tho American
glacial era is also naturally accounted for if
the land of Northern Canada was a great
plateau, being an elevation higher than the
summit of Mount Washington.
The upward movement of tho glacial era,
which carried the north at least 5,000 feet
above its present level, was followed by tho
slow* subsidence of the Champlain period,”
when the samo lands sunk to a greater
extent than the}* had previously been raised,
letting down tbe Valley of the St. Lawrence,
about Montreal, 500 feet below its present
level, and probably 1,000 feet below its
glacial-era level. With this sinking of tho
Fund began tbe melting of tbe glacier. Owing
to tbe sinking of tho surface in the north,
northern and southern rivers had their slope
greatly lessened, and in so me cases made quite
level for long distances, and by vast de
posits of drift tbe Niagara and other rivers
iiad their channels so obstructed that they
were forced to cut new passages, while other
water-courses of the glacial era were wholly
cut oil*, as that from the Champlain Lake
down tho Hudson Valley. Then came tho
terrace era.” during which tho laud
reached its present level, while tho river
channels were deepened, and the lake and
river terraces, which now cover tho conti
nent, were formed.
The Painter’s Quietus.
An artist in Nashua, N. H., not long ago,
was doing his best at a sunset on the Rhine.
A magnificent old castle occupied a promi
nent position in the picture, behind which,
it is supposed, the glorious orbs of day had
just disappeared, giving to the rocks, hills and
dales that picturesque twilight which is bo
much admired by lovers of nature. As its
rays fell upon the placid sheen of the Rhino,
TUn r e H c c i lolls sparkled like molten silver,
i 11 ««ryoyed his work, in general ont
rliiu i U and shading, lay down his
brush, and wsis congratulating
SSfirf °*s«i«* e BUc<j cm of his masterpiece,
lnan w ho, unnoticed, had
n° P lctur from behind, re
marked, with a measured tone “Well I
swan, that looks nat’ral.”*"
All, indeed!” replied the artist, looking
at the speaker, who certainly hadn't the an
pearanceof having travelled a groat distance
beyond the barnyard. “Do you recognize
it f
“Recognize it? I guess I do. Boon there
:noi J n forty times. It’s just up hero in the
edge of Leominster. That huildiu’ there”
castle) “is Squire Jones' soap-house,
and this shiny stuff" (the shimmering Rhine)
the soapsuds that come from it.”
Ihero was an artist's studio to rent next
day, and Raphael lost a talented follower,
put the world in general and Nashua in par
ticular found an excellent carriage and sign
painter.
A VALUABLE RELIC.
Description of the Olarble Sarcophagus
Found at Tarsns—lts Presentation to
the Mnienm of Art at New York.
From tho New York Timoa
The Metropolitan Museum of Art has re
ceived from Sir. J. Augustus Johnson, lately
United States Consul General at Beirut and
now a member of tho bar of this city a very
valaublo gift, a marble sarcophagus highly
ornamented with sculptured figures which
was discovered some years ago iu Tarsus in
Cilicia, the birth-place of tho Apostle Paul
This relic of antiquity was thought of such
value and importance that tho Navy Depart
ment gave orders to have it brought hither
iu a man-of-war, and it arrived a few days
ago safely in Philadelphia, in the United
States steamer Richmond. It will, no doubt,
attract much attention from antiquarians
when placed on exhibition iu the Museum of
Art.
The sarcophagus has a curious recent his
tory. Shortly after its discovery it became
the property of Mr. Abdo Dcbbas, au edu
cated Arab merchant, living at Tarsus. He
desired to give it to Mr. Johnson, who, how
ever, refused to receive a gift, being then a
public officer, and Mr. Dcbbas finally pro
posed to tho relic to any society in
this country which Mr. Johnson might de
signate. lie caused it thereupon to bo
offered to the Metropolitan Museum of Art,
which formally accepted tho gift last Decem
ber. It was with much labor sent from
Tarsus to the port of Morsino, whore it was
taken on hoard of the Shenandoah, aud later
transhipped to tho Richmond.
The tollowing description of tho sarcopha
gus was written by an American missionary,
Rev. Mr. Goss, shortly aftorits discovery.
Tho outside length is GfeetOinches; width,
2 feet 0 inches, autl height. 2 feet 0 inches.
Inside, 5 feet 5) inches; width. 1 foot 10 inch
es; height, 2 feet 2 inches. Tho corner is in
flic form of a slanting roof, the highest point
being 1 foot G inches in a perpendicular hue
from the lower edge. There is also a space 5
inches iu width on the sides between the
lower edge and the point where the slant
begins, In describing tho sarcophagus, I
commence with the ends, both of which are
alike. On cither edge stands a beautifully
carved winged angel, with the right hand
upraised, and dressed in a short skirt not
reaching the knee, a baud across tho shoul
der, and a loose garment attached to tho
waist on tho right side, covering tho
leg aud trailing on the ground. In
the centre is a head, under which
hangs gracefully and in tho form
of a new moon, n wreath of oak leaves, from
the lowest point of which is suspended a
cluster of grapes or something very closely
resembling it. On tho front are three wreaths
of equal length, like the one on tho cud,
about two of which aro heads,while over the
centre one is a blank tablet. Tho ends of tho
wreaths are supported by angels iu a stand
ing position—male figures, without dress,
while those at the edge, above described, aro
females. On one end of tbe cover, and ex
actly in the centre, is Cupid standing with a
drawn bow and aiming at Venus, who lies
on her left side before iiim, and has a loose
garment thrown over her, extending from
the waist to her feet. Cnpidis without dress.
On the other end (of tho cover) are Cupidaud
Venus again, both in a standing posture,
embracing each other most lovingly, and
having their cheeks, not lips, closely press
ed together. Near Cupid stands his quiver
and bow, and not far from Venus is seen a
little bird. On tho front of tho cover,, at
either end, is a winged augel in a standing
posture and nude. These stand in special
prominences, carved and hollowed for them,
and more than a foot iu height. On the side
between tho lower edge and tho point where
tho slant begins, is a space, as mentioned
above five inches iu width, and extending
the whole length of tho cover, aro tho fol
lowing figures, and iu the order in which
they are enumerated: Leopard, angel with
club, lion, goat or hart, angel with club,
tiger, angel, goat or hart, angel, hippopo
tamus, angel, tiger, goat or hart, woman,
leopard. These angels aud animals havo not
a quiet posture, but each is fighting his
neighbor.”
with the sarcophagus are tho bones and
teeth of the person who was buried in it,
and a lamp also found m it.
THE EX-E MP IRE,
What tbcDwdlera in the Tnilcric* Drank
—Sale of the XSmperor’M Wine*.
Paris (Nov. H) Corretipondenco of tlio London Nows.
Thu catalogue ib out of 100,000 bottles aud
tifty-seven butts of the Emperor's wine, the
sale of which bv auction will commence, iu
the Louvre, on Thursday, and is expected to
last a fortnight. The great quantity takes
the public by surprise, for it was aunouiiccd
that what with the Prussian occupation, the
siege of Paris, and tho Commune, the Imperi
al cellars had been pretty well cleared ont,
and that but a small portion of their con
tents remained to be brought to the hammer.
It would seem, however, that tho bulk of tho
wine must have been preserved from all foes,
for the auctioneer classes tho treasures, which
ho has tho honor of submitting to public
competition, under tho respective head
ings of “Tuileries,” “Fontainebleau,” and
••Compiegne.” I assume that there must
he many old frequenters of Fontaine
bleau tea parties, Comniegno hunts, aud
Tuilerifs balls, who will be able from these
indications to form an idea which category
of wine is likely to be the best. Tho Em
peror, with all his faults, was essentially
open-handed and hospitable. Whether he
spent his own money or that of the State, ho
thought little of expense. Tho best wines
that the world could produce were often laid
before his chosen friends aud distinguished
guests. Jhit. with all his extravagance,
there was something like order in tho ad
ministration of his enormous household.
And it is not to he supposed that tho fashion
able young men (If* petit* crevex), the artists,
journalists, and comparatively humble peo
ple of all classes, who for one reason or an
other were invited to Fontainebleau or Com
piegne, and allowed to give breakfasts to
their friends in private rooms, were served
with wines which would be considered tirst
rato by an Oxford Don, a bencher of the
Inns or Court, or an Alderman. But tho
superstition being brushed away that wines
from an Imperial cellar must necessarily be
better than any other, I dare say
some very good parcels may bo picked
up at this sale at reasonable prices. Purchas
ers should insist upon tasting; and this, ac
cording to tho enstom of trench auction
rooms, is not difficult to do—unless m the
case of palpable Jeremy Diddlers who come
to guzzle. Much good wine there certainly
must bo. Thu immense quantity of claret is
the principal thing. There aro upward of
TJ/JOO bottles of a very good growth of claret,
not well-known, caUed Montrose. Of the
more familiar brands —Chateau Lautte, Cha
teau Margaux, Chateau Larosc, Chateau La
tour, Chateau Leovillo, Brauno Monton, and
Cos d'Estonmelle—there is a goodly show.
Tho stock of Burgundy is far less abundant;
of tho highest makes, such as Charabertin,
Romance and Clos Vougeot, there are only a
few hundred bottles. The (XX) bottles of tho
best class of Sauterno, Chatcau-Yquem. ISI7,
will be priceless, if there is ik'trickery in tho
catalogue. There are scarcely more than
1,000 bottles of Champagne. Tho collection
of Rhino wine is extremely meagro/with
the exception of the very best of all
Rhine wines, Johanisberger. Of this rare
vintage there are advertiseds23 bottles from
the Tuileries, 205 from Fontainebleau, and
51 from Compiegne. The intimate friend
ship between the Emperor and Empress and
tho Prince and Princess of Mettornich ren
ders it probable that the Johanisberger is
that which never comes into the market —is
grown on the top of tho mound under the
windows of tho Schloss Mettornich, which
everybody secs going down tho Rhino, and
is called tho “Pride of tho Cellar, 7 and I
should not be surprised if it were to fetch
prices hitherto unprecedented. In tho list of
foreign—(that is to say not French)—wines,
there is a considerable quantity of old Mado
ria, which I am told is unmatched. Tho
Port, of which there are about 2,000 hollies,
is described as Porto (lore, a designation for
eign to my recollections of that now, to mo,
obsolete liquid. Of absinthe—tho liquor
which, according to caricatures, must bo ab
jured before tho French army can again
become great—there are but ten bottles—six
from Fontainebleau, and four from Com
poignn.
