SUGAR IN WINE MAKING. On the subject of adding sucair to the must in making wine, the, President of the Kentucky Horticultural Society writes: . "Some persons object to any addition in the manufacture of wine; but they would (not object, I suppose, to any special ferti- lizer for the growing vine j being ; added to tne son, vvnich, when absorbed by the. roots and incorporated with the sap, would finally be deposited in theicelisof the fruit; and there be elaborated into grape sugar. Now if from any unfavorable season, or from natural deficiency 'in the fruit, there is not sufficient grape sugar formed to neu tralize the acid and make a palatable wine which will keepwell -without iroino- infn thcacetic fermentation', then it is perfectly rect the-defect, for the reWrfwiTrbe iden tically the same as though the sugar had been formed by nature jn the fruit on the vine. Grape sugar, wlreri thusadded to the must or juice freshly expressed," is de composed in the. process of fermentation and converted into alcohol, thus giving body to the wine. Andj although it neu tralizes the acid of the luice, it does not render the wine sweet. lo prevent con- fusion, J would state that! grave sugar is quite different from cane sugar in many- es- se'ntial properties, as well las in chemical X - j I . composition; and therefore one. cannot be substituted for the other in. wine making. In Europe artificial grape sugar is manu factured from starch; arid such has been the demand for it, solejy for manufacturing wine, that seventeen "Grape Sugar Fac- tori.es"; have many since oeen put in I860. The operation in Ger- chemical compo- sitiou and other properties of artificial grape sugar made from starch, is the same as that of the natural grape' sugar.

This improved system of wine making has grown into a most won derful favor in France and "Germany, and given "entire satisfaction ' to the grape growers and wine-dealers." j Indeed,, "the use of this artificial means to improve what Nature had failed to make good in quality,-'-is regarded", as a great scientific triumph.

This failure to accomplish the desired jobject can fortu nately be diverted to the. encouragement of wine making',,and may.be the future means of developing a new sdurce of nation al wealth. , While we cannot; but regard the use oif alcoholic stimulants' as the great curse of the Amerian' people, still the true philanthropist would greatly prefer, if pen lile;will "drink" seeing the milder juice of the grape substituted as a national bever age for .the fiery distillations of the still.

Allen, through the Mexican Times Trouble, trial and temptation have fol says to his friends in this .country "To be lowed each other in rapid succession; sor- plaiii and candid, if you have no! money, don't come; fitay where you are until you accumulate some." The New Orleans Crescent's remarks oh the subject strike us in the right place: ' , - : I Very naturally, Allen and his friends de- sire to induce emigration from the United States to Mexico. One reason is, that they ieel lonely and wish the companionship of those who speajt the same language with them, arid who have been associated in the same illrstarred enterprise. We have ob served that immigrants to our country as sociate according to their respective nation alities. iThe company of their compatriots solaces, to some extent, their longings for ;t.r iitv .Ljiz .u:.i. ; :t natural ai-ohimendabiV. xiv-en Uucrr familiar, with our language, asie most of them readily become, they prefer to con verse in the tongue taught them by their mothers.! . 1 tie -wide world .over, the want which clouds the brow arid saddens the heart of the emigrant is the want of com panionship. This abiding sorrow for the homes they have left may lessen from year to year as new ties are formed, but is never entirely cured. None . can know the full meaning.of the word home until they have been , long and far away from the places and persons endeared to them by early as sociations, j , , . It behooves those who .think of emigra ting to Mexico or Brazil to reflect well over the very important movement.
