By-all accounts the aggregate crop of
grapes this year is larger man ever be
fore. The leading varieties are the Ca
tawba, Isabella, Diana, Clinton, Dela
ware, Concf.rd, and Hartford Prolific.
Borne of the newer sortnd some re
cently brought Into notice, such as the
Ions, Ives's Seedling, Norton's Virginia,
and several of Rogera'a Hybrids, are
yielcing very well. There are no
sources from which we can make a
conect estimate of the amount of this
year's crop. But the principal localities
where the grapes are grown are the
thriving fruit towns of Hammonton and
Vineland, and several places around
Philadelphia, along the Hudson river,
and here and there in Now England. In
Western New York the planting has
been extensive, for the soil and climate 1
are so favorable that all the finer sorts, i
sucq as tue uatawoa, Delaware ana Di

the Iona also flourishes. From t its re
gion, along the southern shore of Lake
Erie to the mouth of tbe Maumee, in
Ulilo, 13 a belt at least dw miles long,
and from threo to four milea broad, all
these varieties are planted in vineyards
with great success. But it is to be noted
that this district is about equally divided
Into a clay, or shale, and a sandy soil,
and that it is only upon the former that

According to the report of an emi

Below will be found what is deemed
a proper text from which to preach the
funeral sermon of Ben. Butler : From
Jeremiah iii., 19 : " And the basins, r.nd
the firenans. and tho bowls, and tli nnl.
drons, and the candlesticks, and the
, , I spoons; and the enps ; that which was of
gold, in gold, and that which was of sil
ver, in silver, the captain of tho guard
took a way."
Some one who had no visible means
of support, nnd does not deserve any,
has calculated that the snuff annually
consumed in France would m ike thirty
columns as large as that in the Place
Vendome, the smoking tobacco would
mke a solid cube as large as thn Arc
d'Etoile, chewing tobacco would fill
3780 two-hectolitre casks, and the cigars,
laid end to end, would stretch round tbe
globe twice at the equator.
Tbe Island of Jersey, off the coast
of France, but belonging to Great Bri
tain, has become celebrated for its crops
of early potato?". The land ia manured
to an extraordinary degree, with cea
weed, etable manure, and Peruvian
zuano, to force the potatoes forward.
The crop is sent to the London market
early, and obtains so great a price that
an ocro or eany potatoes la vaiuetl at
$800 In gold.
Brighton, England, is to have an Im

Is a cluster of islands, six or eight in
number, which have become famous for
fine grapes. On Point Pelee, belonging
to Canada, one of tbe largest of tbe
group, planting has commenced but re
cently. The next grape region lies on
the southern half of tbe eastern shore of
Like Michigan. On the western shore
tbe winters are so severe that tbe vines
winter-kill, which is owing to tho land
breeze from the interior. Next in im
portance come the shores of tbe Missis
sippi, commencing at Quincy and ex
tending above Burlington. In all these
localities tbe Catawba uniformly ripens,
though there are exceptional years
when to some extent it mildews. To
decide whether a locality Is favorable for
grape-growing, the only test is tbe growth
of the Catawba, for if this does well all
other kinds will. Of grape regions which
may bo called second class, are to be
mentioned the slate hills of Western
Pennsylvania, particularly around Pitts
burg, (ho bills of the Ohio shore down as
far as Caledonia, within fifteen miles of
the mouth of this river, the timbered
region of Southern Illinois, and also the
prairie eouth of 39, while considerable
vineyards are in bearing north of thl
parallel, in Central Illinois. There are
extensive vineyards in the neighborhood
of St. Louis, and along the Iron Moun
tain Kailroad south, and extending as
much as fifty miles into tbe mineral re
gion. On the plateau of Central Iowa !
the Concord has produced magnificent 1
crops, nuil considerable planting with
varied success has been done in Indiana.
It is asserted that Maryland, Data
ware and Virginia shores excel for grape
growing, but as yet we possess no posi
tive information that such is the case ex
cept for varieties like Concord, There is
no doubt that a variety of grap9 suited
for the Southern States is required ; at

clined in a correesponding ratio, causing
neavy losses to holders. There can pa
no doubt that these losses might have
been at least partially averted by timely
concessions earlier in tbe season. But
at the commencement of the harvest,
dealers appeared to think that tboy could
carry their stocks at the prevailing
prices, and held back in the face of the
incoming crops. This aotion was chiefly
ussea upon me expectation or a laree
uemana ior nreaustuus irom England,
and when tbe markets of that country
proved to bo better supplied than was
anticipated, a decline took place in the
West.
At the present time the Western mar
kets yield slowly to the Influence of the
reduction m prices, and operations are
on a limited scale, and appear likely to
remain bo, until tbe market has toticfied
bottom. Thus tho navigable season will
probably terminate without any exten

Grain moves slowly forward during the

Western dealers have yet to realize
that stocks of grain can ba carried during
iuu wiuier at lower prices in tne iiast
tban In the West, and that the detention
of breadstuffs from the market at this
season of the year is ultimately injurious
to nearly all concerned. In place of hur
rying forward as muoh produce as possi
ble during the last few weeks of naviga
tion, it is usually held back, to ba for
warded in the spring frequently without
any advauos in price". Statistics for the
crop year of 1866-67 show that about 42
per cent, of the supply of wheat, corn
and oats was sent East during the first
three months : 24 per cent, within thn
next six months, and 34 per cent within WOES HAM HOUSE.

The ordnancQmannfactnred by tbo
celebrated stoaj-worfeers, theKrnpps, has
lately been Signified so as to produce
much more formidable results. The im
provement, it is stated, consists in the
enlarging of the hsmber in which the
cartridge is Iciged. The charge is to be
double what it was, while the ball re
mains at the former weight of 200 pounds.
When tried side by side with the nino-
mch Armstrong, having a ball of 227
pounds, the Krnpp gun, it Is alleged,
proved greatly the superior.
Bourbouze is the name of a new gas
light now used in France. It is reported
to be as bright as the oxyhydrogen light,
while It costs less. Coal gas, intimately
mixed with atmospheric air. is ureed bv
gentle pressure thiough a tube, and
passee through a metal plate fuli of holes.
Manyjets are tbns formed, which, after
being driven tbroush a fine tissue of
platinum wire, are lighted. The plati
num soon becomes white hot, and so
brilliant that the eye can hardly bear it.
Thirty-five feet of gas is consumed per
hour.
It has been discovered that at For
res, in Scotland, there is an extraordina
ry deflection from the plumb line. It is
well known that this is common near
large mountains, bat in thfc case there
aro no mountains near. It is corjeotured
that underneath there must bo a miss of
unusually solid matter. The extent and
direction of the deflection are to b9 de
termined by a very ingenious use of two
clocks, one at a distance which will
cause a magnet to click by an electric
wire beslae another clock at Forres.
The cause will be investigated after
wards. Justus Lieb'g, the celebrated Munich
chesnist, complains bitterly of tbe num--ber
of fool i? h and impertinent letters
which, he Eays,-he receives every day,
from nearly all quarters of the globe.
He eays his letter mail of ten comprises,
on a eingle day, two hundred letters,
written in eight or ten different Isn
guaces, and mostly containing inquiries
about tbe roost simple chemieal prob
lems, the solution of which may be
found in any elementary- handbook of
chemistry. "Not only," says Pofessor
Lleblg, in a letter addressed to an Augs
tjurg paper, " an I utterly unable to an
swer most of these letters, but they rob
me of much valuable time."
Tbn ex-KlUg of Hanover, a grand
son of George IU, of Great Britain, In
fondrt, it is stated, to take his seat in the
EBg'ifh House of Lords, under his title
of Duke of Cumberland. A curious
qncstion has bech raised, whether the
royal marriage act, which provided that
without tne consent or tne crown, no
descendant of Gorge II should contract
matrimony, affect the family relations
of this tbronelees King. Eight sover
eigns were present at the marriage, in
1843, of ihe ex-King of Hanover, and it
would be remarkable if, after all the pa
rade of tbe occasion, the ceremony was
invalid, and if tbe supposed hereditary
Prince Ernest Augustus has no title to
his rank or bis possessions In England.
Mrs. Basil Williamson recently died,
atCbarlestown, Va., aged 89 years. She
was ,a signer to the deed- to General
Washington for thp Hrpcr'tf Ferry
property for a national armory a spot
selected by himself. In early days she
advised her eons and other young
friends bow they could niako them
telves'a name, by pointing to tho career
of three Jads who left Jefferson county
(then Berkeley), to settle among the
wild Indians of tbe Northwestern Terri
tory. SJbe eaid: "Wewere feasting
and danclDg at tbe neighbors' houses for
a week before these young men started,
and when they bade ns farewell there
was not a dry eye, as we never expected
to see them again, tuioEing tho Indians
would slay them at eight." The names
of thesoyoungmen were Thomas Worth-Inglon,-Edward
Tiffin and Robert Lucas,
each of whom became Governor ef Ohio.
other way. Of crape crowine in Call
fornia, we learn that it is a recent discov
ery that graps3 grow better on high
ground, where irrigation is impossible,
than on the alluvial soil where they have
hitherto been grown. This has led to
increased planting, and it is confidently
predicted that the quality of the wine
wiil be so improved as to compete with
the choicest European brands. Several
new grapes are now demanding atten
tion. One which will do as well through
tbe interior of the North Q3 the Catawba
does in the water climttes of Western
New York and Northern Ohio, and
without the requirements of slate or
shale soil, will be in great demand, and
will add immensely to the grape interest
of our country. Still, within the limita
tions of culture above specified, the busi
ness is assuming vast proportions, and
even now, in what may ba called its in
fancy, th') crop is of the value of several
millions of dollars.
In all the grape districts mentioned,
wine-making is carried on with consid
erable success At Qammonsport, Cleve
land and Sandusky, on the Islands, and
on the Upper Mississippi, at Hermann,
and at Cincinnati, extensive wiue cellars
bavo been constructed, and large quan
tities of wine made. The quality has,
with particular manufactures, improved
with each year, aud a taste for American
wine has boen cultivated, but there is
room for great improvement.
The Paris Girls.
At the public balls you will remark the
rare beauty of the girls girls and women
of the people. The black eyed or blonde
Parisian, slender, graceful, nervous, all
fire and action, or the peasant girl, large,
round, 6oft, ruddy, quiet. One obscure
Paris model, I knew, was a tall, blonde
Lombard girl, with luxuriant tawny hair,
which, always In " admired disorder."
was simply drawn back and twisted on
tbe bead. She loved Victor Hugo's books,
and was a Red Republican, and would
have fought and sung on the barricades
like an Amazon of Li berty, with the same
careless spirit that she sang and sat in
Parisian studios. She had eves blue as
her own Adriatic, a finely formed mouth, '
a rair skid, ana a supero necK, well
placed. She carried her bead like a
swan. Although poor, almost homelnss,
no social slavery had touched her. Her
face was wild and free like Baochante's.
A great painter could have found an
immortal type in her large noble face
and heroic figure could have seen under
the rags of her poverty an antique figure,
sister of tbe Venus or Milo. How long
would an artist have to bunt in New
York or Boston for such a type?
We produce one type " the girl
of the period "who generally over
dresses, who is pert and trivial, who Is
intelligent and 'vivacious, but dreams
Just as little as her brother the clerk, or
her ather the banker. They have but
one' Idea It Is to advance. The girl of
the Continent dreams, feels poetry, is
Impressive, naive, and has sentiment ; if
of the people, sbo is generous and res
pects her impulses. I have seen in Paris,
at the pnbdo concerts, French girls,
white and blonde, demure and delicate
like New England Sunday school teach
ers; looklog at tbem, you could not ex
pect anything but a tract or a hymn, but
they give you something very different.
A type very often seen is tbe beautiful
dark woman, with an oval face, dead'
ouve sKin, very paie unentai eyes,
stained with henna, hair in great flit
bands on tbe temples, colled and twisted
behind, a type admired by Gautler, Bau
delaire, and De Musset, tho kind of wo
man of whom De Musset wrote : " Two
destroying augels, sweet and cruel, walks
Invisible at ber side, they ara Voluptu
ousness and Death." Atlantic.

The Weekly Oregonian says: This
branch of commerce on the Pacific coast
is fast becoming one of the most impor
tant ieaturea in tne enterprise and indus
try of our people. The Inexhaustible
forests of the best timber in the world,
wnicn cioine a great part of the coun
try, together with the surpassing natural
faculties ror tneir conversion Into lum-
uer, ana its transportation, give us an
advantage over any other section of the
uniteu states. Already the lumber of
this coast Is finding a market in all narts
of the globe. The extensive miles in the
region of Paget Sound furnish annually
many millions of feet, and supply a great
anu growing aemanu. And there is no
reason why Oregon should not receive
her share of the rich harvest derived
from the vast amount of thia product
cAjjurieu to uiuer Buores. uur own re
sources in this regard are not greatly In
ferior to those of our sister Terri
tory. The northern portion of the
Wliliamette Valley, in almost any part
oi ioa woria except tne r'acinc, would
bo deemed to be exceedingly well adapted
to the production of this stanle arti
cle of commerce. Portland in many re
spects is so situated tuat tbi3 branon of
trade engaged In with due enterprise
uuuiu uui ran m us largely remunerative.
xet tne three mills in our oltv would
scarcely more than supply the home de
mand were lt not for the quantities con
stantly furnished from the adjacent mills
at Oswego, St. Helens and Westport.
The constant growth of our city requires
tne annual consumption of an amount
equal ir not greater than that produced.
Our mines, agricultural resouroes, fisher
ies, and lumber trade, combined, present
ine most attractive Held for the Invest
ment of oapital in the United States.
Twenty and even ten vears in thn hla.

Adulteresses are punished in a very
peculiar manner in certain parishes in
Hungary. The pastor of tho parish in
which they live, has them chained on
Sunday to a tree or post in front of tbe
church, and describes then, in flaming
words, tbo epormity of tho offense which
the poor creatures iiavo committed, tbo
crowd meanwhile jeeriDg and hallooing
all the time. Stripes are added to this
punishment in peculiarly heinous cases.
