TUESDAY AI'ltIL 4, 1883.
Tlia Rochester Union man picks out his
words with care. He heads his police column
"Instances of Iniquity," which oughs to sug
gest to the Massachusetts papers to head their
veto columns, " Instances of Obliquity."
This is a visionary joke.
It is considerable travel to worry over ihe
East river by the New York and Urooklyn
great bridge yet it is going to be de
cided that the traveler will have to pay for
the privilege of worrying through it. The
toll-gate is an antiquated nuisance to revive
under such grand auspices.
It is proposed, as a compliment to Ameri
cans, to make Minister Lowell rector of the
University of Edinburgh, which, we take it,
requires the elements of a high flown dema
gogue. Minister Lowell's exalted habits, and
his brilliant record as a diplomat, commend
him to any place so recommended where
"no Irish need apply." It will be more re
lief than compliment to Americans if Brother
Bull will put to use, in a friendly way, all
Minister Lowell's snobbery. Much goes to
waste,
FRENCH WINES AND TIIEIK ADUL
TERATIONS. The American people have their own man
ufacturers of food and drink in their thousand
and one forms who induslriously apply them
selves to gain, and use adulterations by which
we are duly poisoned, health impaired, and
life shortened. But there are, besides,
brought to this country from abroad as many
deleterious drugs and poisons in food and
drink as we ourselves provide. Among these
none exceed in the pernicious properties of
French wines. The preference of Americans
for everything imported, which was natural
and reasonable in the early days of the Re
public, does not grow less wilh the advance
ment of American proficiency in the arts and
sciences nor the facility with which domestic
destructives are supplied under foreign labels
become abridged by frequent exposure. But
we are now proposing to speak only of what
are genuine foreign goods under foreign
brands.
The United States Government supplies
through its consuls abroad a world of in
formation concerning these, which should find
popular channels more than it does. We
learn by one of these consular reports what it
is we drink for French wines. It appears
that for the last four years or since the grape
plague, the phylloxeva, attacked the vineyards
ol France, they have averaged yearly
greatly less than half of a crop.
Yet the French drink as much wine
and ezport as much as ever, and at no mire
cost. This would be miraculous if not re
lieved of its mystery by a simple explanation.
The French manufacturers bring raisini. from
Greece and Turkey, soak them thoroughly
and then thoroughly piess out all Ihe moisture,
add alcohal, dyestufl and many deleterious
mineral compounds, distilled persimmons,
logwood and a string of vegetable urlstles,
dashed with acids, juices and injurious drugs,
to produce flavor and other deceptions and,
by means of fermentation and the arts of
chemistry, a high-priced article is furnished to
the trade and markets of the world, dulling
ly inviting not only to the eye in the attrac
tions of the bottle and its ornaments and in
the crystal beauty of its fluid, but to the taste
probably most viciously ravishing. This is
tit character which we have from the most
authentic source, of one class of lmportd
poisons, the significance of which attaches to
all others that are testing the resisting power
of the human stomach, are dally distributed
to the outposts of the system, and through the
blood reaching deeply and disastrously into
the quality of generation, bringing disease
and death .permanently Into households that
do not dream whence they come.
If human life, and the character, physical
and menial, ol the human race are of any
value the time is at hand when some forms of
inquest must be devised that shall be perpet
ual and'unlversal, and some protecting ages
to stand ever en garde over the multitude of
unsuspecting victims ol the unscrupulous and
wary who pretend to social respectability yet
pursue gain in the face of all consequences
id by every available means, venial or venal.
These sources of evil are Increasing daily as
craft acquires more and more skill In preserv
ing secrecy, and greed is more and more
tenacious In ilk hold on its subject. Men hab
itually eat and drink needless compounds
from acquired appetite or no appetite at all,be-
ing, much of it, the operation of brains not
restricted to rational uses.
FORTUNATE OR OTHERWISE.
The Washington, D. C, Sentinel relates
of one Antonio Luggi, an Italian sailor, that
he had appropriated an old coat, which, with
other staffs of no value, had been used to bat
ter down the hatch of the bark E. A. Sanchez
in which he came over to this country, nnd
that he was afterward astonished t discover,
sewed in its lining, notes of the Bank of
France to the amount of 619,000 francs, or
$123,800 We are not told what Luggi did
about it, but probably acted as' an Italian
would in Italy. He will be further astonished
in many ways; that every man he meets is his
bosom friend, that money in America has
great facility in finding owners, that he will
soon have established tnlimate judicial rela
tions with the bark E. A. Sanchez and own
ers, with the owners tnd various possessors
of the old coat, or their heirs or universal
legatees. If Luggi had been an American he
would have put the money away in safes with
his mouth shut, and fought an accusat'on of
stealing it in the criminal courts
where, not being guilty, he would probably
have been convicted if he neglected the pre
caution to buy himself off which, of course,
as an American, he would not neglect. He
would have kept the secret at all hazards,
which has now afforded the clue for finding
plenty of owners among whom the right ones
will probably hold the unlucky tickets in the
lottery of the law; for $123,800, in this world,
invariably have an owner, or owners. But
Luggi's Italian nature will undo him in this
country as to the money, after the money will
have spoiled him as a sailor. So that the
poor fellow's ruin is moderately assured. We
trust this reflection will console the reader.
The Ages of the Judges.

tice is 67: ludce Field. 67; Tudce Bradley. 70:

63. Judge Miller was appointed in 1862,
Judge Field in 1863, Judge Bradley in 1870,
the Chief Justice in 1874, Judge Harlan in
1877. Judqe Woods in 1890, Judge Matthews
in f88l, Judge Gray in 1881, and judee
Blatchford in 18S2. 6
Feter Cooper's Wealth,
The public is surprised to learn that Feter
Cooper left an estate valued at less than $2,
000,000. His son-in-law, Mr. A. S. Hewitt,
says, on the other hand, that those who knew
of his unstinted generosity to all de
serving applicants for his aid are surprised to
learn that he left so much as he did. lie
might have "left" $10,000,000 just as well as
$2,000,000 if the common mania for grubbing
and piling up riches which possesses .most
millionaires had stayed his hand and chilled
his heart. He gave away about $4,000,000
during his lfictime and never made an effort
to earn large percentage on his investments.
In many years he kept his iron works running
at a daily loss merely to keep the men em
ployed.
