Tf .. I. . 1 ii an agricultural wishes to he encouraged and stimulated to i one wed effort, he has only to vis't one of the luxuriant vineyard:; which grow near this city weighted with luscious fruit. Itr company with Herman Gilrcath, a representative of The Xeics spent an hour ; on Paris Mountain at "Monte Vino." the -. ? joiu ucittu^iu^ m i ilC liilC 1T( Marshall's estate. Stroude .Marshall, son of the deceased, has not allowed the vineyard to languish, and is giving it his coustaut attention. A great industry has been fairly begun by Mr. Marshall this season. The wine house built by his father has boon perfected iu every respect and the business of wine making on an extensive scale is now in progress. On the first floor is a small machine which is used for mashing the grapes. j Scores of hands gather the fruit in baskets. The fruit, clinging to the stem, just as it comes from the vine, is poured into the hopper of the machine, which breaks the skins and pulp. After the grapes pass through the machine they are placed iu the press which rapidly brings the juice out. The juice and pulp are then placed in tormenting tubs winch stand in rows against the wall. This first fermentation lasts about three days and clears the juice of the pulp and foreign substances which rise to the top. The juice is then poured into a tank which feeds a pipe running into barrels and pipes below. The word ' pipes" as last applied does not refer to the slender iron conduit, but to large barrel shaped receptacles holding 500 gallons apiece. The cellar is cut out of solid rock, and is perfectly cool and well ventilated. There are now four "pipes" filled with juice, making 4,000 gallons. Besides this there are a number of barrels and casks, containing the delightful liquid. The pulps and hulls of the varieties of grapes impart different colors to the wine. Mr. Marshall is now making port, claret, sherry and a white wine. The wine requires a trood deal of tailiil aoU, noJ tKo ia obtained from the sterns in fermentation. Some varieties of grapes are deficient in saccharine matter, and occasionally a small amount of sugar has to he added. The amount oi sugar contained in the juice is at once determined by a "sacehometor," a small glass instrument which registers the quantity of sweetness in any liquid to a nicety. Most of tiio grapes used by Mr. Marshall contain enough sugar, and he does not require that article frequently. The wine made without the addition of sugar is regarded as very much finer,being try Tlift wine drawn off yesterday from one of the fermenting tubs was of a bright red, j and although exceedingly was most palatable and pretty. Tlio jnico goes through three furm<-nta lions, hirst in the tubs as it conies from the press, then through two more in the cellar. The wine is then allowed to stand one year. At tlie expiration of that time it is put upon the market and finds a ready sale, wine dealers buying it eagerly at SI.2f> |m r gallon. Our wine made iioro in the in< untains then disappears forever, for it assumes the Huropcau imported label in most instances and is sold at ' imported" prices. The dealers are scarcely to bluuio fi r this as our people will take a long time to he converted to the belief that good wino can really he made outside of Kuropc. Mr. Marshall has employed Mr. .luffrcaux, a Frenchman to superintend his wine making. Mr. .latVrcaux was employed for uiauy years in France in vineyards and in winomaking, and is therefore thoroughly experienced and competent, lie declares that i l ie -\iiit'i luaii niuuii mi[*ui iui iu iiiu i i French, and says our climate is bett- r | adapted to the cultivation of the grape and the manufacture of wine than Franco. Ho says our wine is really purer than the French wine,as that is almost invariably heavily diluted with water. In France it requires a'?out ten days to ferment the juice the first time. Here our climate ferments it in three days. If this is the case there seems to he no reason why we should tn t make our own wine instead of paying I high prices for tho foreign articles Light wine can he made a cheap and popular beverage in this section, and this was the 1 idea which actuated I>r. Marshall in c.-tahj lushing his vineyard and building his wine ! house. I'l* ?r?? (??rf .,? , < * ) t;rif ?] ?? I : . I . . . . M* i .? . ' ..% i n. i 11 :. * I the grapes wore shipped North and sold at 12 to 15 cents per pound- Ti c crip here is about six weeks ahead of the Norther:; crop and this gives the Southern grapo grower great advantage in marketing his fruit. It will be seen that Mr. Marshal, has only consumed one third of hisahundant crop for \ inc. The balance has for the most part been marketed. lie is still holding grapes which are not fully ripe, to ship later in the season. When a vineyard becomes healthy and well started it is certainly the safest and most profitable of crops. A drought does not injure grapes but rather benefits them as there is little danger of bursting or rots ting, which is caused liv nrolon<?ed wet spells. The desire for vineyards is rapidly increasing and, laud JL'W*has increased from 82 50 an acre to $75. These mountain lands arc peculiarly adapted to grape culture. The drainage is better and ihc vinos on the Southern slopes not only get plenty of sunshine but are protected from the cold Northern frosts iu winter. Mr. Mnrshallwill utilize the pulp and hulls of the grapes for making Frcuch brandy, as they arc excellent for this purpose. After tlicy have been employed in this way good vinegar can be made with them. Mr. .Marshall will establish a distillery next year for making the brandy, lie will also plant twelve additional acres in grapes. liis wine house is well at ranged in every respect and there is a little system of waterworks which keeps hint supplied. Pipes run from a spring higher up the mountain and no trouble is experienced. There is a growing disposition among our citizens to go into grape raising, and at least two new viucyards of about ten acres apiece will probably be nlauted ?hv . .o uJiuic next season. Air. Marshall has received orders lor 40.000 cuttings. (Irapc culture seems destined to be a great industry here, and we shall toon have as much cheap wine and grapes upon our tables as wc can desire.?

Mr Kvins said that be thought that this qurstiou would come up again next Winter, and, while the party would do nothing rash, yet there would be an effort to secure some genuine reform.
