FRKVCH WINES,
ih» nnniDi and crops k francs this
TUI.
“A meeting of landowners, wine mer
chants, brokers, and others Interested in the
sale of the wines of the Beaujolais and the
Macnnnais, was held recently at Belleville
tur-Saone, Frauce. The object of the meet
ing was to improve the relations between
the various wine-growers fqr the promotion
of their common interests. Representatives
attended from the various wine-producing
districts. The most important subject dis
cussed at the meeting was the best mode of
obtaining a reduction of the duty imposed
on French wines on their arrival in England.
The excessive duty imposed on wine in bot
tles was especially complained of.
“It appears from the papers published in
the Medoc that there are numerous buyers
travelling through that district and tasting
the wines of the growers. The best proof
which can bo given of the estimation in
which the wines of Medoc of this year's
growth are held, is that the Bordeaux wine
merchants have made large purchases.—
Some apprehension was entertained that the
Burgundy wines were too sweet to be easily
preserved, but it is stated that since the wine
was drawn from the vats into cask, a com
plete fermentation has taken place, and the
sweetness complained of has been removed.
Sixty-three tuns of St. Christoly were sold
in one week at four hundred francs, and all
that remained of the vintage of 18«4 at four
hundred and fifty francs.
“The Journal de Saone-et-Loire states
that the Academy of Macon have this year
adjudged the prize for viticulture to a land
ed proprietor named Dubois, who, among
other acts of beneficence to improve the con
dition of the peasantry, has organized the
young women rs his parish under the care
of a skillful wine-dresser, who has taught
them the pruning and preparation of the
vine, and, in fact, all operations which do
not requitia the muscular force of a male
vine-dresser. These young women are
known as the vignaroantt da ifaconnaiai
The vintage oi Jobannisberg began a few
weeks ago. This valuable estate, at pres
ent the property of the Metternich family,
belonged in 1716 to the Prince of Abbe of
Fuldas. One of these Princes forgot in
1724 to give orders for the vintage to be
commenced. The grapes rotted before they
weregathered, and, to the great surprise of
the vine-dressers the over-ripe fruit pro
duced the most delilicious wine. Since that
period the vintage at Johannisburg
has been commenced as late as pos
sible, and the over-ripe ’ grapes are
carefully seerpated from those not so far ad
vanced. The grapes slightly tainted pro
duce the wine of the first quality, which is
called Potentat, because it is reserved for the
cellars of crowned beads. A bottle of the
wine of Potentat sells readily at the. vine
yard for fifteen shil lings, and even twenty
shillings."
Boons Intelligence Office.— We recently
alluded to the infamous frauds practiced upon
poor and unsuspecting people ih this city by
bogus intelligence offices. A case was brought
into Court on Friday, the developments of
which show something of the nature of the
swindling devices referred to. Tne reputed
keeper of an employment office advertised
for “one hundred healthy men to work on
settlement in South Carolina," the induce
ments being two and a half dollars a day,
with free passage to the place of destination.
The advertisement stated that it was a “good
chance for emigrants,” and the result was
that two or three hundred hard-workim -
men, mostly emigrants, applied for tie
situation. The “agent” informed them that
each one must pay him one dollar and fifty
cents before being furnished with the pass to
South Carolina, and nearly all complied with
the demand. The result was that alter wait
ingdwo or three days the men became con
vinced that they were victimized ; they com
plained to the police; the agent was arrested
and held in default of fifteen hundred dol
lars bail, and the amount of bail was after
wards doubled on complaint of his landlady,
on the ground that the said bogus employ
ment agent bad stolen valuable articlos from
her. Such rascals ought to be severely dealt
with, and papers which connive at their
dastardly imposition upon poor people should
be regarded as accomplices.— Jv. Y. Hun.
