There is a curious story about some native Wines which are extensively advertis d nowa clays. and have only recently been put upon the market. Dr. Underhill, the well-known grape-grower of Croton Point, died in s871. Some of hi3 heirs entertained temperance views of such extreme kind, that they were unwilling to nalow 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 estat and the sale of the wtines on hand. Among these is a wine cf the s intage of 1864, described as a " Sweet Union Port," hat suggesting the Imperial Tiokay more than any other European wine, ar.i being wholly unlike any other wine of American growth. Its purity, age an~d mcllowness are remark le, and both physicians and wine fanciers have a special interest in it as the oldest native wvine now accessible in any con iderable quantity. The whole stock is'in the Itands of the well1-known wvhoiesale grocery house of the Thurbers.--N, Y. Tribune, Nov. 19, 1977. The above speaks for itself, but we wvould 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 States1 and at wholesale from the undersigned, who willl forward descriptive pamphlet, free of charge, on application.

Everything is on the li now ; hi --- opera, hi--heels, or hi--pocrisy.

ANSwERS TO CoRRESPONDENT. Subseriber-"Can a man of common education becoimo a good fiction or novel writer-considering that he has got brains -- if lie reads a great deal and attentively ?" No. It re quires keen observation, a fair knowledge of grammar, natural de scripitivo power, and an analyzing mmid to become a writer of fiction. TLe best story-tellers ar:e those who do not write stories. Judging from the consti nction of your question, you would l:ake a worthless novel ist. "Would you vdvise one to read trash in order to become a trash writer ?' Yes, if his power of imitation is good.

The snake was trying to get through a fence on Duel Bush's plantation, when a large cat made an attack upon the serpent After the cat had caught the snake with its teeth and drew it back it looked as if it was dead. The eat im mediately began to eat the reptile, and at the first entrance of the cat's teeth in the snake's flesh it revived and struck the cat in the mnouth, causing instant death. After this tihe snake swallowed the cat and endeavored to travel. Young New ton then killed the snake and out it oplen, finding the eat, eupposed to be instantly killed, and was astound ed to see it crawl out and devour the dead snake.-C 'ovingtlon (Ky.) .Enterprise.

The great. est excitement prevailed. Two thou, sand troops were brought to pre. serve order. The day came and the muob collected, when at the last moment the Orangemen dispersed in obedienco to the orders of the mayor. Sometime since, a Russian woman, Vera Sassulitch, who bad, been in. pris in about nine ye.wrs for political offices, shot a police officer, and on being tried was acquitted aynid ap-. plause. The govern ment annulled the verdict, but Sassulitch had escaped, and is now in Switzerland where she is doing yeoman work for the Socialists. The Russian governw ment is wreaking vengeance on her friends and associates, actually im. prisoning a young man who had merely procured a carriage for her after her acquittal. Another admirer signalized her acquittal by committing suicide in the public square, thus (creating a diversion in consequence of which Sassulitoh escaped unseen.
