There is a curious story about some native wines which are extensively advertised nowa days, and have only recenIly been put upon the market. Dr. Underhill, the well-known grape-grower of Croton Point, di<d in 187r. Some of his heirs eniertaintd 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 somethnes been sent to market, and sometime.s left to decay upon the vines. It i nal) r ow that the other" l.cirs have succeeded in irg..ning for a sett!cment of the esta' and tl le of te incs en Ihand. Amon g them' i -.a winn cf the hinfage Iof r864, descri bee as a "' sweet Union Pecrt," but suggesting the ltmrial Tlokay more than any o'her European wine, an d being wholl unlike any other wine of' American growth. Its purity, age and meliowness are remarkable, and bo:h phtysicians and wuine fanciers have a special interest In it as the oldest native wine now accessible In any' con siderablec cosantity. The whole stock is'In the hamnds of thxe well-knowna wholesale ,rocery house of the Thurbers.--. Y. Tribune, Nov. 19, IJf f. The above speaks for Itself, but we would add thant this is the pure juice of the grape, neither drugged, liquored nor woatered ; that It has been ripened and mellowed by age, and for medicinal or sacramental purposes It Is unsurpassed. It can be obtained fromn most of the leading Drug-;ists throughout the United States, and at wholesale from the undersigned, who will forward descriptive pamphlet, free of charge, on application.

Some timo since Charles Reade, the novelist, wrote an article show ing th itt all men should be aIbi lextrous, an] contending that they could be taught to use both hands froi the cradle. Whereupon a gentleman of Cincinnati, repro sentod as being very intelligent and respectable, wrote a letter to the novelist taking issue with him. The grounds of dilerence, and the manner in which the great English 111:111 flow all to pieces in a passion, are shown in the following cor rospon.ienco. Charles Reade should take some jalalp, or else have a satffon p:lltice put on the pit of his stomach: C INcNAT, U. S., April 1, 1878. Mr. (;Icarles Reade, A ut/r, Lon don, Engtlat nd .--. DEaRU SiR-I have seei, in a dis jointe t and imperfect form, some extracts from your recently pub lished papers on the subject of "Ambidexterity." I have only a partial knowledge of what you have said, )ut concede all you may claim ias to p->ssible ecqu.tltty of develop, ment of both rig.t and left sides of the body, hands, feet, arnis, legs, &c. In doing this I ignore all tho arguilents which might be adduced from anatomical or physiological Cason3, as I am1 u :equal to them, froml i; iorancJ therein. It sCems to me, lowevor, that no advantage could e:ult from the cultivation of the equality you seem to lay no u1u;oh stress upon, but contrarily, g re.tt trouble. expense and incon - venience, besides loss of valuable t.imle in pursuing an ignis utunes, and in exilation of my idea will cite a few familiar examples, as they occur to mne, and which I think will couilirmr ily objections to your dogma, in at least two sub Jt't 3 with which I have some l.ntmiliarity : First-Musical instruments. Sec'ond-2M1chianlicail tools. I could extend mny romuarks mucl furtoer, but have not timo to sp ire Now as to musical instrument: I see that in one of your piapers you intimate that the violin might be played just as well with the bow in the left hand and the violin in the right as in the mode prescribed seclnde,n artem, which is vice ve:-na. I t I fairly nn.lorst md your mo-n ing you aire certainly mistaken on this p'int. There are certain p)eculiarities! in the construction of tile vio.in which would require an entire con trariety ini tihe p)oitionl of aill the strings as well us in the )inteinall stinucturo of the instrument inl order to enable a left-handed m.m to pla~y upon it with clue effect, and this difference holds good in all striinged inmstrumnents played with tihe bow or by the snapping of thme lingers, &c., tihe vaolin, viola, violoiceello, coiltra -bass, gniitar, b)anjo, eithlem.,, g. ; also for all the instr umnents, as.the oboe, clarionet, basr-oon, serpent, &c., and aiso in) all the fingered brass instruments with valves the same difficulty is found, that is to say-that to con~ struct any of these instruments :in such a m.lnnor as to enab.o a left., handed m an to play upon them the imJes of constructioni would have t , be reversed In instruments of modei'n form of the Ilute family, with intricate miechanismn, suen as is necessary to meet tile requirements of execu-, tion demanded by modern comn posers, the intricacios of a double arrangement of tile keys by the reversal of all the appliances as now used, would present almost insuperable difficulties, and withmous any compensating advantage. It is true that the flie and the drum, I the jewvsharp and the military' bugle may be played indifferently either by right or left hand, but these are unimportant matters when compared to the thlpgs already mentioned. (Cymbals and castinets may be added to the' category of interchangeable instrui mients.) As to the -organ and piano, the attempt to: nAke, thern and all the muisie ehpetoforo ComE posed and printcd ifor tboy euaty servipn3t to the system 'of *uaI bAndehdne.ss conlM result only in I AJ d L A14 utter failure. I note your reiarks about' superiority of the left-hand i1 pugilistic encounter. Here. yon mistake effect for cause. The superior offliciency of the blow given by the left hand is to be attributed solely to the extra strength and vigor of the right sid of the body from which the blow eiimnat.es, and with whidh the left arm and fist have.nothing to do except moroly as they booome the' "tool" with which the work is done. T1 rospect to mechanics' tools tho great majority of them are spoci;illy adaptod for use by the right han c, although some may be used by either right or left. A few examples may serve to explain what I moan. The gimlet, auger, auger bits, the screw Oriver (owing to the fact that the screws to be driven, are all made to turn to the right, just as the entire system of the universe turns in' the same drection), the brace na its bite, notably shell bits, nose bits, ream ers and counter sinks, the sickle, grass hook, all scythes, and an infinite number of cuttmng imple ments are now, and have been from time imriemoriul, designed for the use of the rigit hand, and in my humble opinion will continue to be so made and so usod for all time to come. Alty other course could bring about only trouble, expense and confusion. . I will not tax your patience further, as my tiue is short. H.,ve not said a tithe of what I could say. You see I disagree with you only im one w Ly, which is that, if possible (and I grant you that) to be ambidextrous would be a bane insto.id of a benefit. Yours respectfully, V. C. BnADDURY, Born and bred in Sheffioid, York shire, but for the last twenty-five years a citizan of this coantry. P. S. -S'one painting is but little better than a wvlitewashing. In relation to caligrap'ly, all the signatures of gro-t men I have seen show they were writftn by the right hand. .Perhaps our old friend, Wiam S;hakespeare, was drunk or paralytic when he wrote t ho two specimens of his writitig left to us, or perhaps he was trying to write with his loft hand. No. 19 ALBEnT TERRAaE, KNIOITSIBRIDGE, 15 April. SIR-My privacy has been in truded on in a letter from you, -in which you tell me that you have only re;ad garbeld extracts from my letters dunouncing the lop-handed in mia and disproving it by a mass of evidenco ; and that you are utterly ignorant of anatomy and physiology really stands in the argument. If, having thus an, nounced your disqualification, you had gone on to say,, "and therefore I will not have the folly and the arrogance to speak positively on.the matter," I should have said, "this dunce is not a fool," and in a world where nearly all the dunces are fools I should have welcomed you as a novelty. But instead of that,' having an nounced your incapacity, you pro ceed to sit in judgment on your intellectual superior in a matter where he is profoundly learned and you are as ignorant as dirt. Your letter is in three divisions-. irrelevant truth, a deliberate lie, a piece of imbecile twaddle. YoUnI BAD LoGW. Every fool knows that the musical performer is an honorable exception to the lop-handed nfanla, liere lyoth hands do skilled work and exercise the wholq brain, wvhioh is all I require. I have never proposed to reverse thme skill of the two hands. You are working a folly out of your own head and forging may name to.it. YOUR MENDAOITY. That the loft-handed blow of the pugilist owes its force to the right side of the body. Were this so the right-han d ed blow of the. pugilist would owe its force".to the left side of the body. It's a> lie. When a' blow is struck with ;a sword, a stick, a cricket bat, &c., the reverse foot is advanced and the reverse side is the falo;'nm. But in the pugilist's blow, whether with his right:hand or left, th cortAsponding foot is advanced and' - the blow takes all itt.. oroe froti the sub.-clavionlar mnuscles and the flexor and extensor 'muscle.
