TOTAL ABSTINENCE SAVING WINE TILL IT
RIFENS.
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.

Arguments that Apply Equally Well

(ron the Chester Reporer. ]
Air. 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*.

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.
