We are somewhat surprised to see that the Kentucky Senate has laid on the table the bill to re establisb the whipping post. We say we are surprised at this in Kentucky, where men are stern and stout and practical, and where mock philanthropy is scarce, if it has any existence at all. But we begin to suspect that domagogism has found a lodgment amongst the solid metv of Kentucky, as well as amongst the Legislators of most all of the South-: ern States, under the fearful social revolution of the times. The con~ sideration that in whipping a felon a voter might be whipped no doubt prevailed to carry the bill to the table. Philanthropy had nothing to do with its fate. So it is in other things that the public inter ests are subordinated to the polit'c view taken by the demagogue. For instance, the measures to encourage sheep culture, by protecting shep from dogs, all fail because the dog has avote. The criminal policy of this coun try has become incfficient because of two much philanthropy. The de lusivo idea that crime was to be ended by kindness to robbers and ho use-burners, snecak-thieves and cut- throats ; that villains and mur derers were to be made honest men' and gentlemen by preaching andl forgiveness, have paralyzed the law and disarmed the police. Felons are not to be roughly treated. Their feelings are not to be wounded. They must be hospitably entertained and left to the course of meditation and remorse, that they may emerge from their place of respectable de tention fit companions for the phi. lanthropic people who have extract ed the sting from the law and smothered the discomfort of the hard and healthy discipline which is so salutary in the process of re pentance and atonement Thus tile prisBons and penitentiaries have done absolutely nothing inl tile way of reform, and the men who have passed throughi thoem have coDm forth withiom repenltance, confirmed rascals, to make their art available with more success than before their contlineent anld before that harden ing process wich made them im. p)enetrable to tihe moral sensibilities, of which there were some traces in their minds until they entered th'e so-called penitentiary, to part wvithl them forever. The whipping post wolid do more to put acheck upon crime and to deter men from repeating their felonies than all other provisions of thle law. If the lash wvere applied to big thieves and little thieves without distinction of color,r1ace or previous' condition of servitude, the criminal' docket would shrink up and the jails and p)enitontiaries would be relieved of fully half their lodgers. Widen tile range of hanging, short en the period of imprisonment, and introduce the whipping post for application to cases of burglary and stealing, and thlere would be such a change in tIhe chlaracter anid number of criminal cases that we might wvell imagine we wvere in a new country. It is for the want of a more rigid administration of tihe laws against felonies and 'misdemeanors, and for the want of a more just gradation of the retribution to the crime, that we hear oven in this ~advanced period of civilization of so many cases of the intervention of J udge Lynch. Make crime odious by 'proper punishment, and tile public security will be increased while crime will be decreased.-Richmnond .Dispastch. It seems like thle good old times of two or three years ago to read of Republican committee meetings at Washington where John A. Logan presided, and Zach Chandler, or ham, of California :Eugene Hale, William E. Chandler, Senator Dor soy and ex,Senator WVest circulating around to. tell- tihe party wvhat is good for it. The relentless surge of tile reform wave started l>y Mr, Hlayes thr%w these blithe patriots off their feet for a time, but they - are getting. upon their feet~ again, and there is to.be a general oiling nnpn of t ol macine Dio Lewis says that bald heads are caused by wettring hats. 'Wo men don't become bald, and men never lose a hair below where the hat touches the head.' The doctor took his own silk hat and hold it up so that the light could shine through twenty holes that wore pierced in the top.' TOTAL ABSTINENCE SAIING WINB TILL IT RIPENS. There is a curious story about some native wines which are extensively advertised nowa days, and have only recently been put upon the market. Dr. Underhill, the well-known ape-grower of Croton Point, died in 187r. 'ome of his heirs entertained temperance views of such extreme kind, that they were unwilling to allow the stock of wines then on hand to be sold or any more to be made. The grapes have sometimes been sent to market, and sometimes left to decay upon the vines. It is only now that the other heirs have succeeded in arranging for a settlement of the estate and the sale of the wines on hand. Among these is a wine of the vintage of 1864, described as a "Sweet Union Port," but suggesting the Imperial 'iokay more than any other European wine, and being wholly unlike any other wine of American growth. Its purity, age and mellowness are remarkable, and both physicians and wine. fanciers have a special interest in it as the oldest native wine now accessible in any con siderable quantity. The whole stock is in the hands ef the wel 1-known wholesale grocery house of the Thurbers.-N. Y. Tribune, Nov. 19, 1877. C The above speaks for itself, but we would add that this is the pure juice of the grape, neither drugged, liquored nor watered; that it has been ripened and mellowed by age, and for medicinal or sacramental purposes it is unsurpassed. It can be obtained from most of the leading Druggists throughout the United States, and at wholesale from the undersigned, who will forward descriptive pamphlet, free of charge, on application.
