SHERMAN AND STANLEY A1ATTHEWS
and the other "visiting statesmen"
are making asses of themselves in
regard to the Returning Board
prosecutions. They have put them -
selves on record as vilifying the.
people of Louisiana, and denouncing
the proceedings of a high court in
that State. The New York Herald
very judiciously suggests that the
less these statesmen have to say in
the matter the better for them, as
many people hold them responsible
for the acts of the Board. It show.,
moreover, that while Sherman thinks
Wells as puro a man as himself or
any one else, General Sheridan,
in 1867, and Vice-President Wheeler
and the other Republicans, who
visital L:uisiana in, 1874, charged
Wells and his confederates with the
most outrageous frauds in that
election, and even seated a number
of Democratic legislators who had
been counted out.
Matters in Europe.
The European news is rather
squally. England has sent a fleet
of ironclads into the Dardanelles in
contravention of the articles of
treaty, and despite the protests of
the Sultan, the ploa being that
British subjects in Constantinople
inust be protected. Russia, in con
sequence, may see fit to enter Con.
stantinoplo, and then the biggest
sort of fight may be expected. Aus
tria will side, with England. Germa
ny has not signified what course she
will pursue. The difficulty with
England is that she is too slow.
An alliance with Turkey a year ago
would haive dIefeatodl Russia. Now
Turkey can do nothing, und more..
over she is rep~resented as being
incensed with England for deceiving
her with apparent offices of friend.

The cardinals have not yet met in
conclave to elect a Pope. The
comning pontiff is not known. Su
perstitious Catholics think it will b)0
Cardinal Panebianco (whose name
translated is White Bread), because
Pius 1X. once dreamed he was suf
fering from hunger and some one
gave him wvhife bread to eat ; and
because in an old p~rophecy it was
foretold that the motto of the coming
Pop)e will be "Lumen in CYallo,"
(Light in .leaven), whereas the
moon, when full, resembles a cake
of white bread in the ~*heaven.
Politicians say the coming pontiff
will be a prelate of liberal ideas--one
in accord .with the liberal sentiments
now ruling the world.

TOTAL ABISTINENCE S.i WIN WE TILL IT
RIPENS.
There i; a curouts story about some native
wines which are extensively ad vertised nowa
days, and have only recentlv been put upon
the market. Dr. Underhill, the well-known
grape-grower of Croton Point, died in 1871.
Some of his heirs entertained temperance
views of such extreme kind, that they were
unwilling to allow the stock of winies then on
hand to be sold or any more to be made.
Thq grapes have sometimes been sent to
market, and sometimes left to decay upon
the vines. It is only now that the other heirs
have stiucceted in arranging for a settlement
of the estate and the sale of the wines on
hand. Amiong these is a wine of the vintage
of 1864, described as a " Sweet Union Port,'
but suggesting the Imperial Tokay more
than any other European wine, and being
wholly unlike any other wine of American
growth. Iti purity, age and mellowness are
remarkal e, and both physicints and wine
fanciers have a special interest in it as the
oldesz native wine iow accessible in nny con
sidet-rab qtantity. The whole stock is In the
handi.s of the well-known wholesale grocery
house of the TIurbers.-N 1'. Tibune,
Nov. 19, z67.
The above speaks for itself, but we would
add that this is the pum juice of tile grape.
neither druced, liquored nor uvacred; that it
has been ripened and mellowed by age, and
for medicinal or sacranient-al purposes it is
unsurpassed. It can lie obtaincd from most
of the leading Druggists throughout the
United States, and at wholesale from the
undersigned, who will forward descriptive
pamphlet, free of charg, on application.
