to ®hc Itotto leniltl The Savannah Daily Herald 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.
