There is a curious story about some native wines which are extensively advertiscd nowa days, and have only recently been pt upolt the market. Dr. Underhil , the well-known grape-grower of Croton Point, died in )871. Some of his heirs entertained tcmpcrance 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 vine 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. 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 qluantity. The whole stock is in the flands of te we-known wholesale grocery house of the Tubr.N .Tius Nov. 19, 1377. The above speaks for itself, but we would add that this Is the pure juice of the grape, neither drugged, liguored nor watersd; 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.

Editor :-The subject of 'graded schools" bas been siightly agitated, but is very little under stood~' With your permission I will give some of the results of my inquiries. A,l teaeher3 know how laborious and unsatibfactory the unclassable school is ; the school embracing pu - phs of ad ages, sizes and stages of advancement, in toe sa me room, each in his or her own book and no two '>n the saune page of any book. Thus the number of classes often equals t!o number of pupils, while the teacher must hurry through each class to give a little time for all. In graded schools those pupils of the same advancement and sudies are classod togetter, this being pos sible from the number of teachers. Thus, while in the un graded school, thi ty pupils will .4 occupy all the teacher's timo hurried ly ; in the graded school fifty and even sixty pupils are put il tlhe saune class. In one room fifty or sixty "pri, mary" pupils are all studying the same lesson at the same time ; in the next. room the "intormediates," in another the "grammar school" class, etc. We thus take advantage of the "division of habor," each teacher having fewer teachers as well as fewer classes, can more thor oughly prepare himself or herself on t he lessons of the day, as every teucher should. In the pot school of Washington six hundred pupils are taught by Lon to re.lors. In A tlanta fifty pu - pis are given to each toucher. In 1Vilnsboro one hundred and forty ive pupis of both sexes are taught 1 by three teachers ; whoreas, bouro "ie system" was introduced about one hundied wore taught by thet same number of teachers with more than double cost. Mr. R. Means Davis says that for the present ye.ar the cost to the community of the education of these one hundred and forty-five pupils was about $1500, when by the old plan it would have been about $3,750. In the city of -Adanta, under "the system," the cost is not quito $18.00 per scholar for ten months. In Spartanburg it is estimated at 18.00; .while the present average in Ohester is prob .b y abova $30.00. Parents can make thoir own calculations. I This brings us to the subject of < raising the uoney, which is usually l done by direct tax:atimn. Soeic one F will say "impossiblO" inl our present t condition. Mr. Davis, quoted above, says th.st "in the poverty struck condition of the State, graded schools solve the problem of eluca. tion." Other towns have adopted < and are adopting it as the c most economical and ef- ( cient system. For instance, instead e of tuition fees of from $20 to $50 per child, lay a tax of (1k) one and,'a] h:'lf mills on the town pr1operty. Oft course, this will be better foir pa- f rents with two or more childron. J But now about the old bachelors and others without olive branches ? E Those of this class with whotm I have I conversed offer no objection, but would rat,her undergo the tax and t have permanent, efficient schools ( than go free under the present I system. Now as to the amount necessary. t I make the following calculation : A-tax of lj mills on town p)roperty will raise. ... -$1,500.00 Peabody fun J of $300 for each 85 pupils in at tendance for 170 pu-. p,ils.... ............ 600 Present public fund ap propriated to whites of town......,.........400.O0 Expended thus : A superintendent who shall have full charge and also teach.. .. .... $1,000.00 e A male asesistant,..... 700.00 m $2,400.00 I Mr. Davis says that the Wiqus- ~ boro graded school is drawing p. pils from the country already2 ts flest year. Those acquainted with the country here estimate that in two or three years after the inu guration of such a, school possibly 4 fify uplswould come from the j coiutry S and as these would abe i paying, say an average of ,$.9,5 ten ,ionths, this aront 4 would go to the.eredi gj taz jow*. rediteinCthe tax.s V1 ieeUs mayb botoplS 0,. abMge atnorat shonM 1Eusue I*3aa , 4 lessen the tax. We hope for a full discussion of thisi inportant subject. EDUOATOR. GIVE THE ANZMALS BALT. In no other season do beasts re, luire so much salt and so often as n spring and sulmmer, when feed ing on green and succulent herbage. Salt not only aids digestion, but is in excellent stimulant, and one of the best of vermifuges known, when aken in small regular doses. Cows that are given unresti ict@d " access o salt will oat and drink more than f deprived of it, and consb4uently oecrete a greater quantitr and ichor milk. Many a - farmer s wife has found difficulty in churning her cream or making good butter in consequence of the cows being dleprived of a full supply of salt vhile out to pasturo, or being fed )n roots in winter. All kinds of arzn stock require salt to keep hem healthy, and oven the 'hug vill fatten much faster on the same lnantity of food if given salt. and vo are inclined to think that some )f the diseases prevalent among ,wine in parts of the country are n a measure due to deprivation 'ron salino substances. Whiie salt nay not be classed among the )owerful curative agents, it has ong been considered one of the best of tonics for regulating the ligestive organs and aiding the mnimal to resist disease, and for his purpose it should never be )mitted from the diet. Thero have been, it is true, scores >f would-be reformers, who have >reached and written learnedly igainst the use of salt by human >ings as well as beasts, and some ev gone an far as to practise tbstining from its use for a time; >mt the result has always shown ,he falsity of their theories. If we vere to take the quacks, medical md otherwise, as guides, this earth vould either be depopulated, or its nhabitants made extremely miseraM ule ; for there iu scarcely a pleasure, )r kind of food, that has not been lonounced by moh who imagine hiy were born to enlighten the nman race. When cattle are turned out to )asture where it is not convenient o give them salt at regular times, )ne or twice a week, a quantity ;hould be put in boxes sheltered rom storm, but where the animals .an get it whenever they desire. Phis is a bettor way than to trust o hired help. But it' makes little liffierenco what plan is adopted >rovided the animal obtain a con. itant supply of this very important oudiment.--N. Y. #Sun.
