Wleckiug has this sea son sold from bis vineyard In Walhal- la, containing 12 acres, 30,000 pounds of grapes, from which be has realiz -d from six to ten cents per pound. Be sides tbis, it Is estimated he will make six hundred to eight hundred gallons of wine. It Is thought he will realize $175 per acre net on tbe twelve acres. Tbe vines are three years old and In ten years they are likely to triple this estimate and will certainly double it. Tbe quality of tbe grapes is • qual or superior to grapes grown in Germany. —Keowee Courier. An Ewtor’s Work.—Mr Henry Wat- terson, , tbe editor of the Ljutsvitie Courier-Journal,-, In a recent article on modern jourflallem, says:, "Borne people estimate the abllfry ofa period ical anil the talent of its editor by tbe quantity of Iu original’mattor. It Is oomparatively an easy task for a frothy e iltor to atiing out a column of wordn upon any aud all subjects. - His ideas may flow In one weak washy, everlas ting fl rod, md tbe command of hie lan guage may enable him to string them together like bunches of onions, and yet his paper may be but a meagre aud poor concern. Indeed, the mere witting part of editing a paper Is but a small portion of i he work.

To preserve these as they should be pre served is enough to occupy Tuny tbe time and attention of any man. If to this be added the general supervision of tbe details of pjbllcatloo which most editors have to encounter, the wonder is ho# they find time to write at all. 1 * rettokly most b« sought in tbe removal of tha cause.

While tbe existing conditions will be some what ameliorated by these decrees, they do not seem to .,bave brought about a final solution of tbe difficulty. Last year a petition upon tbe subject, signed by emmefit teachers, physi cians, and other t-Itiaena, was address ed to tbe Prussian Chamber of Depu ties. After setting forth tbe deplora ble effects of the excessive strain upon tbe nervons system of scholars, it ap pealed to the patriotism of the depu ties to put an end to tbe abuse, which, tbe petition asserts, “threatens little by little to reduce the cultivated class es of society to a stain of moral weak ness that shall render them incapable of great and manly resolution.
