Terrible Lota of Life Anions Hhrrp and Cattle. Major D. M.

He passed through the centre of tho ? great sheep grazing section of Texas, and report* that terri ble drought prevails in Presidio, Pocos and Crockett counties. Those counties om brace an aroa somewhat oxceoding tho acreage of tho State of Maino. Until a | fortnight ago , tho larger part of tlna | oountry had not been visited by a heavy rain for oightoen months, and tho recent rain proves to have dono very littlo good, as tho earth was so parched that the wator, instead of filling the small streams and reservoirs, was soaked up by the burning prairies. Major Bash says that for many milos, as far na tho oyo can ireaoh, tho country is bare of vogetation, j not even woeds growing. Hundreds of ?small streams aro entirely dried up, and (water, oven for living purposes, is spar ingly dealt out at tho ranfejics. He re lates several instances that came under liis observation, allowing tho terrible tffeot of-the drought on sheep and cattle.

The National Yiticultural Convention, the first the vino-growers of the United States have ever hold, met hint week in tlie annex of the agricultural department building, Washington. Only abont ton States were represented at tho opening, /vlox W. Parson, of New York, presided tomporai*ily. Tho election of permanent ollicers of the National Yiticultural As sociation of the United States was held. Charles A. Wetmoro, of California, was elected president, and B. F. Clayton, o? Florida, secretary. J. J. Lucas, of Aiken, S. C., was elected a member of tho National Viticultural Council. One of the prime objects of the Con vention is the suppression of the com pounding of so-called wines from chomi eals, which operates, it is claimed, to ilisgraco American products and to in jure tho interests of American wino growers, who are leading tho world in tho production of tho purest and beet wines. The Convention was addressed by tho lion. Norman J. Coleman, commissioner of agriculture, who, in a very full and fitting paper, detailed the direful effects of compounded bogus wines, both upon the hoaltlv of consumers and upon honest American industry. Ho pointed specific ally to the dishonest methods practiced in this and foreign countrios, and in a carefully prepared statement of facts and figures showed America to bo in tho lead and Franco to bo falling behind in furn ishing tho world's supply of wines, both in quality and nuantitv. The questions discussed by the 'Con vention nro practical mul throw muoli light upon the grape industry in oil its brandies. Great developments aro be ing made in the utilization of grapes as food, as medicine and ns an articlo of commerce. Everything bIiows that tho grapo-growing industry, while yot in ita infancy, is fast becoming one of onorm ons interest and results to tho United States. There are reasons that show tlmt there is abundant opportunity for South Carolina to step forward in tho j advance in vitioulturo. ? j The show of puro American wines and brandies by tho Convention is line, there being over two hundred excellent sam ples on exhibition.
