G THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, THUKSDIY, DECEMBER 3, 18G8. CHAMPAGNE. From London Society.'' Notwithstanding its celebrity, chatnpafrns is the youngest aa well 3 the liveliest of wiuea. to yon journey from Strasbourg to Paris yoa pas4 within a mile of Meim tue littlu village of Ilautvillers, standing above the Tine-clai banks of the Marne. Here there is an ancient monastery, in whiuh lived a joyous monk, Dom l'erignon by name, who, a hundred and fifty years ago, gave the world the invention of ohainpague. On account of his many vir tues, in which an accurate taste and a clear head were conspicuous, he took charge of the broad sunny vinedorks of the abbuy, and had the control of the cellars of the estab lishment. Uvea as a blind old man his taste distinguished between diilerent kinds of grapes, and, accordiag to an oil chronicle, he would give wue instructions concerning them, saying "that the wine of one grape must be married to the wine of an other." His powerful mind also conceived the happy idea that the insertion of a cork in a bottle might more elleetnally auswer the nrpopes which had hitherto been attained by the primitive Bio of lnD of f,ed in oil. lie had already raised the vi..ous." nown of his monastery to a great height wnCu by a lucky chance he hit upon the invention of the ellervesciiig wine known as champagne. The Jovial monks kept the secret as long a.i they could, but at length it transpired, an I the new wine in due course adorned the sup pers of the Regent and of Louis Quinze. The first person who took the eflervesoin Tine of champagne out of the cellars of tin abbey of Ilautvillers was M. Clicquot. (It ought, however, to be said that Manila's firm is the oldest of all.) M. Clicquot, and still more his indefatigable wife, the Veuve tVnuo', and their subsequent famous partners Werle and De Sachs, infinitely extended the trade. 'I knew Madame Clicquot,' writes Mr. Tomes, "a dwarfiah.witbered old woman of eighty nine years," whose whole soul was ia business, scanning over each day to ler last the ledger of the commercial branch which she had given her name. She died in 18UG." Her daughter married the Comte de Chevignc, her grandaughter married the Count de Mortemarte. Her cipher is C. M., Which some interpret as Chevigne-Mortemarte and others as Champagne Mcmsseux. The great trinmph of their wine was obtained at the invasion of the Allies in 1S15. The Rus sian soldiers were floored by the mimio ar tillery of the bottles, and returned to their own country to spread abroad the glories of this wine. The Clicquot wine, whioh never varies, is expressly manufactured for the Rus sian market, and is sweet aud strong. It is sot fitted for the English palate, that prefers a dry wine. Moct and Chandon, at Kpernay, are the most popular producers of low-priced wine. Champagne is essentially an artificial, and is frequently a sophisticated, wine. The cham pagne trade has of late years chielly fallen into the hands of Germaus. It is not possible to have a champagne that is not made by a mixture of diilerent wines. This is the mar riage of wines, or curve, which Dom Perignon discovered. The white grape, which grows 80 largely at Arize, gives the light color BO indispensable to champagne, the grapes generally bving red or black. It must therefore be recollected that a line bottle of champagne is a work of art. We do not wish to underrate Nature's wines; on the contrary, so far from sneering, as is com monly done, at the low-priced wines of the grocers, there is no doubt but tne wiuas, gone rally, are pure, wholesome, natural wmes. It is a cheering fact to know that these wines are gaining ground, and in the hot weather this summer iced claret and. water was a favorite drink with the cabmen. At the same time we Ought to be just to the wines that h vve been educated into their present high statu of per fection. The care and coutiivance and corres ponding expense in the ?ase of sparkling wices U extraordinary. What tLe uncritical public chii-ily want is eUarvesuence, aud the only limit to this is the strength of the bott'es. With champagne,above all wines, you mu3t not put new wine into old bottles, as these bottles burEt. It ia only very gradually that manufacturers of champagne have been able to bring their enormous losses from breakage into a decent average, which has been mainly effected by lessening the amount of sugar used. It used to be quite a common thing that more bottles should be lost than sold. There is a man at Eperney who cooks nearly every thing consumed in his house iu champagne. There are little marble gutters all over his cellar which draw oil the contents of the ex ploded bottles, and meat and vegetables boiled in champagne are not bad. Now the publio are beginning to understand that so much effervescence is a mistake, and to dislike a loudly-explosive cork. Lord Macaulay c omewhere likens the flat writings ot some author to champagne which he had unwarily allowed to stand at his elbow. Now this shows that Lord Maoaulay either drank bad champagne or was at least no judge of it. A really g3od win would retain its sparkle and Us goodness for mauy hours. It is not a bad plan to get rid of the foam and ice, which greatly disguise the wine, the ice serving to neutralize the excessive sweetness. Indeed, this reaction has gone too far, and there is now a pestilential dootrine to the effect that we ought to decant champagne and plaoe it before a lire in order to obtain its true lUvor. This doctrine, hwever, will never flud much acceptance, as it obliterates the cheerfulness that always be longs to this wine. Champagne has late'y been severely attacked by Mr. Ddnman in his strictures on Mr. Beckwith's report ou the wines at the Paris Exhibition. Mr. Dmman's is an amusing and well-written little book, and the wines of the Greek Archipelago are, we know, very meritorious wines, more natu ral and pure than the champagne wines; but we do cot think that he will flud it at all easy to overthrow the champagne wines, or that he will find . much sympathy, especially among ladies, on the sub ject. How insufferably heavy would our heavy insular dinner-parties be were it not for the help of champagne 1 Conversation has been dull, or perhaps only spasmodically lively, and perhaps host and hostess are un comfortable on some little points. But the maglo word "champagne" is whispered, and then conversation warms and glitters; and people who were positively depressed begin to be positively witty. The production of cham pagne is its critical point which determines the character of the dinner, and a dinner without champagne is a body without a soul. Kven more important than the sooial Is the medioal effect. Mr. Drultt, in his "Notes on Wines," bears evidence to this efleot, but it is a truism With evry medical practitioner. They now constantly exhibit champagne in prefer ence to ordinary apirits. There is a very numerous class of stomach cases in whioh it is found that champagne is really the only liquid nourishment which is of any servioe. Jt is a great mistake to suppose that every medicine must of necessity be nasty. A great deal of reform, on which we may speak further, is wanted in this direction' and H ouli not be inaugurated more popularly than by a liberal "exhibition" of champagna. The uses of champagne, as a loiorant, are so excellent, that it becomes an interesting subject for eoonomlo discussion, whether it can be so far cheapened as to become generally available iu casaa where this kind of stimulant is needed, and also as a wine of ordinary consumption at our tables. We have before expressed a strong general op'rion of the superiority of light wines over heavy wines, which we regret to Bee is by no means generally shared, as yet, by the middle classes in this country. Bat the people who mistakenly prefer sherry to claret would still, we think, prefer cham pagne to sherry. The practical ques tion is whether we may not obtain a cham pagne V3 cheap as sherry. Now, undoubtedly, many cheap champagnes are obtainable, and, bo far as liz and loam and oarbonio acid ga3 are concerned, these wines can hardly be dis tinguished by the uninitiated from those mag nificent wines for wHoh magnifioont prices must be paid. A certain degree of snsploioa belongs to tbese cheap wines, which is not ue natural when we consider the enormons amount of fictitious and adulterated wines whiuh are in the market. Some time ago there was a trial at law which related to a way of meuafcctm'tig champagne in this country, much the same as soda water is made, but the proems pr37ed unsatisfactory, and brought its ingeuioui inventor into much deserved trouble. It is veiy pro vable that similar procesHes are iu a ......... .!... ... . : tirOi. rous nii'U m acuviiy iu wg 1 1 .. .1 t, .. .v,i. metropolis. 'j that ellei vexing viue3 may- be mat iu the champagne country aud bo imported so ss to be Bold at very low prices, aad thee cheap champagnes may make a pletmut enough luuoh Leverage, in one point of view to be greatly preferred to sherry, e3peoially when the Fherry come3 from Hamburg. The publio gain an advan'Hge when tlwy deal with those houses who have established stores of their own iu France, where they can command good vineyards or purchase crops direct from the growers, storing their own wines until ready for shipment. Thus cheap champagne oan be procured at twenty-four or thirty shillings a dozen in some places, which ara sold at other places for thirty or forty. There is, however, one kind of cueip cMn psgue which is very little known in Kttglant. This is known in the champagne country as the "Tisane de Champagne." Francs is the land of tisanes, and their greater use in this country is much to be deired. It i3 calcu lated that one-half of the cared diseases in France are cured by the use of tisanes. For merly the tisane article was well understood in Ecglabd, but the good old fashion has fallen ell, though it is pursued still with the utmost popularity in France. The author of an admirable work callel "Wholesome Fare; or, the Cook anl the Doctor," thus speaks of the.French tisanes: "Tisanes are most largely employed iu France. Without consulting the doctor, and by a kind of instinct, people have recourse to them at the slightest indisposition. Often they form the only treatment. Professional men prescribe them always. The benefit de rived from tisanes, whose use is the result of the sick man's longing, is fully proved by ex perience. They comprise the whole pharma ceutical machinery necessary." There is a tisane, of course very different from all the ordinary thin tisanes, which, for most per sons, is quite distinguishable from champagne. It is cheap and excellent, and produces the best medical results of the best champagne. It is very little known, and, as the supply is always necessaiily limited, it is fortu nate that there is no large demand for it, which, ooulil no only uxot in a h curious wav. Of all the tisant s that have been invented the champagDe tisane is certainly the pleasautest. The tisane is formed in tho following way: It is well known that ther is a disengagement of the sediment in champagne, according t Madame Clicquot's invention. The space ocou pied by the fluid displaced if! filled up by the liqueur necessary in the composition of all champagne. It is, however, necessary to remove some amount of wino in addition to the sediment in order to form room for the liqueur, and therefo.e a small quantity of champagne is poured off irom each bottle which may be bottles of the best possible wine3 into other bottles which, in their turn, receive some of the liqueur, and become the tisane. Tiiua a buttle of tisaue or champagne really consists of a mixture of diu'ereiit kind of champagne, carrying the champagne theory of mixture to the furthest point, it is want ing in distinctive bouquet, aud in Home decree in carbonic acid gas, aud can claim no name and in these wiuca it is the name that often costs must but it is the most wholesome and genuine kiud of champagne th it can be sold cheap. It iH, in point of fa-jt, muoU more wholesome than the boat champagnes. It is a very common thing in Ruoims that peieons when they feel ill f hould Bay that they require some champagne inane, which speedily Bet3 them right. It seems to us th j cheapest aud best wine of a champagne kind that can be procured. It is very rare in this country, as indeed only a moderate amount is obtained in the di'Jorent houses of champagne, I only know it through M. Lafittau, of Jermyn street, the Lomlou agent of Messrs. Koch of A viz, eminent growers of the dry wines. I have to tuauk M. LafUtau for the information and iusight whioh he has given me generally into the 6ubJeot. The beet dry wines of champagne, especially of famouH vintages, such as lb J5 and as the pre sent year will certainly be, will command that price which the best of things will always get. But a pleasant wine, and a wine preeminently wholesome, is to be obtained at a much lower rate. There is one other wine whioh should be mentioned as a cneap equivalent for cham pagne: this is the Neufchatel champagne, the loss of a caee of which forms the basis of Mr. Dickens' and Mr. Collins power ful story "No Thorough fre," aud, for mojt persons, first made known the existence of the Neufchatel champagne. A Perplexed Plijslelan. A Troy paper tells a good siory of a phvslrlan in good piucuce in iliat city, wbo whs attending a patient suffering lioru HiiL-rone, tor whicti terrible affliction he prescribed turpenliae.

A fiooJ of light bur.t upou the mental vision of our E;culapinn disciple, who thereupon retreated from the house as fast as Lis legs could carry him. It is barely necessary to say that the article in relation to the use of tuipvuUne will not apptur in the iitviuo. WMUIer's Ji'cw Toonis. A new volume of poems by Whittier, en titled "Among the Hills," is to be published iu ix .'e weeks. The prlnolpal poem is a do mes) 'o btory, the scene of which is laid among the hills of New Hampshire. The following extracts will give some idea of the poem: ' A farmer's son, Proud of field-lore and harvest-craft.and feeling All their line posfcioilltieB, how rich And restful eveu poverty and toil Become when beauty, harmony, and love tilt at their humble hearth as augil sat At evening in the patriarch's tent, when man MakeB labor noble, and his farmer's frock The symbol of a Christian chivalry, Tender and just, and generous to her Who clothes with grace all duty; still, I know Too well the picture has another side: 1Iot wearily the grind of toll goes ou, Where love iB wautiug, how the eye and ear And heart are starved amidst the plentitude Of nature, and how hard aud colorless Is life without an atmosphere. I look Across the lapse of half a century, And call to mind old homesteals, where no flower Told that the spring had com, bnt evil weda, Nightshade and rough-leaved burdock iu the place Gf the sweet doorway greeting of the rose And honeysuckle, where the house walls Eeetned Blistering in Bun, without tree or vine To cast the tremulous shadow of its leaves AcrosH the cnrtainless windows from whose panes Fluttered the signal rags of shlftlessness; Within, the cluttered kitchen floor, unwashed (Broom-clean, 1 think they called it); the best room Stifling with cellar damp, shut from the air In hot midsummer, bookless, pictureless Save the inevitable sampler hung Over the fireplace, or a mourning-piece, A green-haired woman, peory-cheeked, be neath Impossible willows; the wide-throated hearth Bristling with laded pine-boughs half conceal-inc The piled-np rubbish at the chimney's back; And, in ead keeping with all things about them, Shrill, querulous women, sour and sullen men, Untidy, loveless, old before their time, With scarce a human interest save their own Monotonous round of small economies, Or the coor scandal of the neighborhood; Blind to the beauty everywhere revealed, Treading the May flowers with regardless feet; For them the song-sparrow aud the bobolink Bang not, nor winds made musio in the leaves; For them in vain October's holocaust Burned, gold and crimson, over all the hills, The sacramental mystery of the woods. Church-goers, fearful of the unseen Powers, But grumbling over pulpit-tax aud pew-rent, Saving, as shrewd economists, their souls And winter pork with the leaat possible outlay Of salt and sanctity; in daily life Showing as little actual comprehension Of Christian character and love and duty, As if the sermon on the mount had been Outdated like a last year's almanao: Rich in broad woodlands and iu half-tilled fields, Aud yet so pinched and bare aud comfortless. The veriest straggler limping in his rounds, The Bun and air his sole inheritance, Laughed at a poverty that paid its taxes, Aad hugged its rogs in self-complacency ! Not such should be the homsteads of a land Where wlioso wisely wills and acts ma dwell As Ling and lawgiver, in broad-acred state,;'." With beauty, art, taste, culture, books, to make His hour of leisure richer than a life Of fourecore to the barons of old time, Our yeoman should be equal to his homa Set in the fair green valleys, purple waited, A man to match his mountains, not to creep Dwaifed and abased below them. I would fain In this light way (of which I must needs wn, With the knife-grinder of whom Canning sings, "Story, God bless you! 1 have none to tell youl") Invite the eye to Eee and heart to feel The leanty and tLe joy within their reach Home, pud heme loves, and the beautitudes Of nature free to all. Haply in years That wait to take the plaoes of our own, Heatd where some breezy ba'.cony looks down On happy homes, or where the lake in the moon Sleeps dreaming of the mountains, fair as Ruth, In the old Hebrew pastoral, at the feet Of Boa, even this simple lay of mine May seem the burden of a prophecy, Finding its late fulfilment in a change Slow as tbe oak's growth, lifting manhood np Through broader culture, finer manners, love, And reverence, to the level of the hills. The germ of this poem originally appeared in the January (18U8) number of the Atlantic JlfuntUi, where it wa3 entitled "The Idyl of Beaucheap Water." It haa been enlarged, however, to twice its original size. It now contains such lines as these: The early crickets sang; the stream Plashed through my friend's narration: Her rustio patois ef the hills Lost in my free translation. Through Sandwich notch the west wing Bang Good morrow to the cotter; And onco again Chocorua's horn Of shadow pierced the water. Above his broad lake Osslpee, Once more the sunshine wearing, Stooped, tracing on that silver shield Ills grim armorial bearing. Clear drawn against the hard blue sky Tbe peaks had winter's keenness: And, close on autumn's frost, the vales Had more than June's fresh greenness. Again the sodden forest floors With golden lights were checkered, Once more rejoicing leaves in wind And sunshine danced and flickered. ' It was as if the summer's late Atoning for its sadness Had borrowed every season's charm To end its days in gladness. The heroine is thus described: Her presence lends its warmth and health To all who come before it, If woman lost us Kden, such As she alone restore it. For larger life and wiser aims The farmer is her debtor, Who holds to his another's heart Must needs be worse or better. Through her his olvlo servioe shows A purer-toned ambition; No donble consciousness divides The man and politician. In party's doubtful ways he trusts liar instinots to determine: At the loud polls the thought of her Ktoalla Christ's Mountain Bermon. And if the husband or the wife In home's strong light disoovers Such slight defaults as failed to meet The blinded eyes of lovers, Why need we care to ask T who dreams Without their thorns of rose, Or wonders that tbe truest steel The readiest spark discloses f For still in mutual su Jerance lies Tbe secret of true living; Love scarce is love that never knows The sweetness of forgiving. In addition to the main poem there are ten others, from which we quote the following lines: Talk not to me tf woman's sphere, Nor point with scripture texts a sneer, Nor wrong the manliest saint of all By doubt, if he were here, that Paul Would own the heroines who have lent Grace to truth's stern arbitrament, Foregone tbe praise to woman sweet, And cast their crowns at Duty's feet; Like her, who by her strong appeal Made Fashion weep and Mamui u feel, Who, earliest summoned to witiistanl The color-madueps of the land, Connttd her life-long losses gain, Acd made her own her sister's pain; Or her, who in her greenwood shade, Heard the eharp call that Freedom made, And, answering, struck from Sappho's lyre Of love the Tyrtn au carmen's lire: Or that young girl Domreuiy's maid Revived a nolltr cause to aid Shaking from warning finger tips The doom of her rpocalypee, Or ber, who world-wide entrance gave To the log-cabin of the slave, Made all his want and sorrow known, And all earth's languages his own. MEDICAL. Tlie Iron Works of Chicago. riftoen ThoiiMKinl .Men FiiilovctA JttiHineNs ol 8J."S,0M,10 Venr. The Chicago Times publishes a very long and elaborate descriptive article showing the extent of the iron business, and giving the name and tize of, and the amount of capital and labor employed, and work turned out by, each of the foundries and workshops in that city. From this article the following interest ing facts and figures are taken: "The iron interest of Chicago employs fif teen thousand men, to whom is paid the yearly sum of $12,000,000 for their labor; $l.r, 000,000 is invested in the manufacture of iron, which does a business of about $25,000,000 per annum. The number of iron establish ments in the city amounts to one hundred, which are engaged in the manufacture of axes, boilers, cutlery, dirks, derricks, engines, edge-tools, farm implements, gauges, gearing, hoe;, horse nails, iron Joints, keys, lathe., liahtnirjir rods, mining machinery, mowers. mouldings, needles, nails, ordnance plate and pig-iron, picks, plough points, quadrants, ranges, stoves, shovels, tacks, tauks, utensils of all kinds, size, and value. "The 'Eagle Works' are situated in the west side of the city, and their different build ings occupy different sites on five streets 370 feet on Clinton street, 150 feet on Madison street, 300 on Washington street, 1G8 on West Water, and 210 on Canal street. The princi pal articles manufactured in these works are engines, boilers, flouring-mills, gang-mills, circular saw-mills, stamp-mills, ore and rock oruahers, and general running machinery. This establishment employs in the neighbor hood of one thousand men, whose annual pay-roll exceeds $300,000. The estimated value of the property, including machinery and buildings, is $500,000. "The 'Northwestern Manufacturing Com pany's Works' are run npou the co-operative system, and, with a capital of $450,000, em ploy 375 men, and do a business of about $700,000 per annum. This establishment has also a branch called the 'Northwestern Pipe Works,' which has a capital of 50,000, and employs 35 men. " 'TheBamum and Biohardson Manufactur ing Company' mako castings and car-wheels. Their works cover more than an acre of ground. They employ 75 men, have a oapital of $150,000, and do au average yearly business of $100,000. " 'McCormick's Reaper and Mower Works' is perhaps the most interesting manufacturing establishment in Chicago. "The buildings cover an araa of -100 by 500 feet, in the business' centre of the city. The business began here in 184U, twenty-two years ago, and since that time 100 000 harvesting machines have been manufactured iu those works. Fifteen years ago 1000 machines per annum were considered a big undertaking, aud predictions were then made that at that rate the country would Boon be over-supplied. But now 10,000 machines per year do not begin to supply the demand, which is greatly increas ing, and now already overmatches the capacity of the works. Five hundred men are con stantly employed. "Each machine contains not less than 1000 separate pieces of wood, iron, steel, brass, copper, tin, and ziiio, making the enormous numberof 10,000,000 pieces, which have to be made, counted, assorted, inspected, classified, packed, and shipped in one year's business. "The following is the amount of raw material worked np in this establishment during the year: Lumber, 25,000,000 feet; pig iron, 3000 tons; bar iron. 1500 tons; paints, 100,000 pounds; oils, 5000 gallons; zino, 125,000 poends; Steel and other metals, 150,000 pounds, aud 2000 tons of ooal. The item of Borap lumber, the cuttings left after sawing out the peouliar shaped pieces needed in a harvesting machine, amounts to nearly 500,010 feet ol lumber per annum, which pro vide about all the fuel necessary to make Bteam for the works. Everything iu this establishment is done by machinery, whether of wood or iron. In the blacksmith shops, the bar iron, of large and email sizes, from five and a half to four and a half inches round is cut np by inches like go many pipe-stems. Even the forges are supplied with a stda ly blast of air from a large tau driven by steam. The machine shops contain one hundred lathes, drills, boring, key-seat cutting, screw cutting, and planing machines, worked by an almost endless arrangement of belts and pulleys. In the sickle shop of this establish- l nient is an ingenious machine for outting the teeth in tne sicKie edge, wnu n does the work of two or three men, and much more accu rately. "The maohtne shops of the Illinois Central Railway are also in Chicago. They employ 800 men in their establishment, whose monthly pay amounts to fUO.000. Their entire works, including their oar-shops in the south end of the city, cover about sixteen acres of ground. The cost of construction of the machine shops alone amounts to $150,000. The road has 4000 cars and 168 locomotives. They have on the stocks, nearly flulshed, four of the largest engines ever built in the West, each one weighing about thirty-one tons. The amount of raw material these works have on hand is valued at $300,000. They use np 2200 tons of coal per annum, principally Lehigh and LIU nols." 0 0 B N 4X0HAKG1 BAQ MAHOFAOTOHY. JOHN T. H1ILIT.
