In such locations many varieties flourish, which would be a failure elsewhere. Hybrids posaeasing foreign blood often grow well in such localities, when they fail iu other places. Grapes also grow better where there is lima naturally iu the soil. If we plant a vineyard where the well water is all soft, there is much more danger of a failure than where tho water is hard; but still, as I said, I claim that purely native gr.pes, and non' others, can bo made to grow welj iu any soil. Iu the first place, the laud must be in a highly fertile.stote, just cs one would mado it to produce a very good crop of corn, and nothing more; and the same manure that is used for corn, or garden vegetables, is good for grapeB; but if commercial fertilizers have to be resort ed to, finely ground bone dust is best. The old idea that land must be trenched eighteen inches to two feet deep for grapes explodod long ago. All you have to do, after your land has become highly fertile by growing previous crops heavily manured, is to plow it about a foot deep, or spade it that depth, if in a garden where a plow can not bo used. Then set out your vines, one to three years old, two years being best, about eight inches deep, spread ing the root out carefully, and when any are very long, they may be cut off within a foot or two of the stem of the vine, rather than have any of the ends of the roots bent around, which is a very bad way of Betting vines. When they are thus placed iu position, cover the roots with about four inches of earth, and tread it firmly upon them; tbeu throw in a part of a shovelful ot manure directly over tho roots, tread it down, then fill up with soil, and the set ting i-t done; but you should previously have cut down the canes of your vines to two or three buds each. Mulling ftlnple Nucnr. A great many farmers, says a sugar miking correspondent re.'iidiug in Ohio, might mnlso a fow hundred pounds of biipi rb r.uple Eugar, and a barrel of su perb mrsplo syrup, just as well as not. They have the trees, an abundance of ch'jup help, and wood tluit would cost nothing except tho labor of preparing it for tho fire. The only difficulty iu the way is a disinclination to engage in such a job. My process of reducing the sap is this: I keep the larger pan supplied with fresh sap, by means of a spout with a coarse cloth strainer over the end, from the reservoir, bo adjusted as to admit a supply equal to the evapora tion from the pan. From time to time I transfer nap from the larger to the smaller boiler, passing it through a fine woolen st'aiuer, After accumulating a desired quantity in the small pau, and reducing it to a thin byrup, it is clari fied by putting into a quantity whioh will make three or fc ur gallons of mo lasses the white of an egg beaten up with about a gill of sweet skimmed milk. The syrup should not be hot enough to cook tho egg. Tho egg and milk will entangle any sediment or for eign matter in the syrup, so that when brought to the boiling point everything will rise, when it is skimmed off, leaving tho syrup clean. I then continue to boil it as rapidly as possible, till it is re duced to the desired consistence. I re duoe my molasses to what I suppose to be about thirty-eight deg. B. My pro cess of making sugar is to reduce the molasses to a degree which I should think to be about forty-eight deg. or fifty deg., and pour it into a cask with one head out, with a spile at the bottom, to which other lots are added from time to time, as they are made. In a short time the mas- will begin to granulate; and after having stood some days the molasses will drain, leaving a white and beautiful sugar. Preparing for Torpedoes. Iron says that it is proposed to "crinoline" the British ironclads with a network of iron wire, supported by booms at a distance oi twenty-two feet, and reaching to below the keel. The reason is not, as the reader will be only too prompt to remark, because of the sex attributed to all ships, but because the authorities hope thus to guard against the attacksof the " fish-torpedo," that can be propelled under water against the side of a ship with lair accuracy from a distance of a mile, ex plodinjwhen it strikes. Tho Dynamite Fiend. The St. Louis Republican identifies Thomassen, the dynamite monster, as one Alexander Keith, Jr., son of one and nephew of another prosperous brew er in Halifax, N. B., and during the early days of the war a person of consid erable note In that city. The particulars recited by the licpriblican make it seem probable that the Thomas or Thomassen of Dresden in 1875, was really the Keith of Halifax in the years preceding 1863, and that the identity of the mysterious villain, bo carefully guarded from bis wife and from bis later companions, is at lost cleared up. ' He seems then to have possessed the same jovial, convivial characteristics; the same huge enpacity for food aud drink, and the same art of Eassing with everybody for a jelly, open earted, good natnred follow, as those which are recorded of him in his rela tions with the American society in Dres den and in his reoent voyages across the Atlantic. He was known among his friends and familiars as Sandy, a title I obviously derived from his hair, and P 1 - 1 l'l - 1 1 . . 1 . 1 1 . which uls equally iuh ciieveiiue ui me monster into which ho grew and no social gathering or drinking bout was complete without his presence. In the early days of tho war he left his employ ment in his father's brewery and seems to have engaged largely in the business of blockade running, and to have in some way become possessed of large amounts of money. His credit rose with tluiso acquisitions. Irregular cargoes of cotton aud tobacco were consigned to him, and ho was intrusted not only with money to purchase supplies for fhiptnout to the blockaded ports but with tho safe keeping of tho funds of fugitive Confederates who mado Halifax a temporary place of refuge nnd asylum. L.ate in 18G1 he departed for New York on a pretense of business, ami Halifax paw him no more. He carried off all the funds ho could lay hands on, having appropriated tho pro ceeds of the cargoes consigned to him, nnd scattered forgeries right aud left. He was followed by a handsome Nova Scotia girl who hod been a servant in the hotel where he had lived and dis pensed a bountiful hospitality during his prosperous blockade running days. This unhappy female came back haggard and woe-stricken a few mouths after ward, with the story that she had married him iu New York, where she had nursed him through a severe and dangerous illness. In due time she gave birth to twins, who, as well as her s-;lf, are since dead. It was not long after this that Keith, under tho name of Thomas or Thompson, appeared in St. Louin, and there within a year he married the lady who is now his widow, nnd who, with her children, arrived fiom Europe but a few weeks' ago. Fashions Iu Silks. Giios Grains for Costumes. Plain solid colors, says the Bazar, will pre vail in gros grain, as they have always done. Tho reps are of medium size, and the gros grain has the soft finish necessary tor drapery, instead of falling into stiff, heavy folds. The fancy is for rich dark colors for costumes, aud the list of shades is not long, nor does it show any novelties, since the object is to return to old-time subdued yet posi tive colors, there is seal browu, myrtle green, marine blue, mud color, and va rious gray shades, such as steel color, caoutchouo, Coomassie, Bilboa, etc. Silks for Evenino Dresses. The Bhades for evening silks are ciel glace, which is a very lustrous shimmering blue, sourire (a smile), rose-tinted lav ender, sea foam green, and every shade that has a yellow hue, such as cream, paillc or straw color, chair or flesh, Isabel; buff, canary, etc. With these plain gros grains are imported two fab rics or corresponding shades from which to choose overdresses, viz. : brocaded silk and brocaded Chambery gauze. Three shades of white double faille are shown for bridal dresses. These are blauc mat, or dead white; blauo rose, w.th faint rosy tints; and blnnc creme, or the rich cream white like that of syringas and orange blossoms. Double faiile has double twisted chain iu the grain, making very rich looking reps, yet retaining the desired softness. Black Silks. New importations of black silk show tho cashmere-finished silks which are now the first choice by reason of their softness nnd their sub dued luster. The best manufacturers, such as Pousou and Bonnet, have done away with the hartsh, heavy stiffn ss that caused their silks to fall into set looking folds, and have given this cash mere i'mUh to all high priced silks mado iu their factories. There is a welcome reduction iu tho price of silks. For 3 50 or $i a yard can bo bought rich s Iks that formerly brought $5 or $G. Lioht Taffeta Silks The pretty light taffeta Bilks for making simple suits for the spring show new effects iu checks and stripes. Thus there are sil ver gray grounds barred with black and white a very stylish design. The old contracts of white with dark brown, blue, or black ore also repeated. From twenty-five to thirty yards of these silks are required for a very simple dress, as they are only nineteen or twenty inches wide, and cott 1 a yard.- A Wonderful Boy. A four-year-old boy of Boonville Mo., by the name of James Martin Wil- 1: 2 l :il . a 1 1 iiuuiH, is cramujeu uu cnues, n ures, facts, and a volume of lore, such as or dinarily requires a lifetime to acquire. In history he is a very encyclopedia of knowledge. The ancient kings, their wars; tho rise aud fall of the Roman empire, the career of Bonaparte, tho times of the death and the age of the rulers of England, tho settlement of this oountry,and similar facts, are as familiar to him as the alphabet to an older per son. He can name the capital of every atate in the union, and oi every foreign country. He repeats whole chapters of tne isiuie, ana speaks in a childlike man ner, just as though rattling off the veri est commonplace remarks of other chil dren of nis age. The first indication of this marvelous faculty came to his parents in this way They are religious people, and each morning read from the Scriptures be fore prayer. Shortly after the exer cises one morning several months ago his mother WS" astonished to hear him repeating, word for word, the lines from the Bible which he had heard an hour or so before. She called him to her and found that he could recite other portions of the holy book. She com menced teaching him his letters, and in an hour and a half he had learned the whole. He progressed with wonderful rapidity, aud soon could spell. A phy sician was consulted, and advised them to keep the boy away from books and not allow him to study, as his health would not allow it. Hinoe that time he has been read to by his father, and now remembers everything he has heard. This parents are people in ordinary circumstanoes, and cannot in any way account for the remarkable memory of their child. JOnN PAUL JOXES. An Onrllne r hla LifeWhy be Chained his Name Hla Naval Career. The Baltimore Sun prints a letter from a correspondent residing in Buckingham county, Va., containing some interesting statements connected with the career of the naval hero of the Revolution, John Paul Jones, and espe cially explaining the addition of the name of Jones to his original name, John Paul. The accuracy of the letter, the Sun says, is vouched for by Hon. E. W. Hubard, of Virginia, formerly a mem bor of the House of Representatives from that State, and who, in 1814, mado an elaborate report in favor of paying the balance of the outstanding Virginia Revolutionary laud bounty claims. In the preparation of this report the claim of Commodore John Paul Jones came under review, and was passed upon formally. The investigation of this claim neoeasarily required a knowledge of the history of Paul Jones, and all the facts pertaining to it. Mr. Hubbard has also had information of Jones from his South Carolina relations. Tho main portion of the communication, which he indorses, is reproduced below : The ontlino of his lite is briefly told. John Paul, the son of a gardener, was bom July 6, 1717, at Arbingland, Soot laud. At tho ago of twelve years he went to sea. In 1773 the death of his brot her, iu Virginia, whose heir he was, indneod him to settle in America. It was then ho added to his name and thenceforth was known as Paul Jones. This was dono in compliment to one of the most uoted statesmen of that day, and in tho love aud gratitude it shadow forth in a scathing reproach nnd a touching exam ple to a people who coidd neglect in lifo aud forget iu death. It appears that before p rmauently settling iu Virginia, moved by tho rest lessness of his old seafaring life, ho wandered ubout the country, finally straying to North Carolina. There ho became acquainted with two brothers, Willie nud Allan Jones. They were both leaders iu their day, aud wise aud hon ored iu their generation. Allen Jones was au orator and silvor-tongued; Willie Jones, the foremost mau of his State, and one. of the most remarkable of his time. A short sketch of his pnblio ser vices will not be out of place. Educated abroad, a profound and eloquent scholar, he was a thinker and actor rather thnu a speaker. Like Franklin and Jeffer son, he, porhapr, owed his uncompro mising republicanism to the abuses of royalty he had seen iu the old world. He served as governor in 1770, refusing compensation; was iu the Coutinental Congress of 1780-81, and, in fact, filled every office iu the gift of the State. Ho is especially memorable now for his re fusal to act as delegate to tho conven tion which framed the Constitution, and for having caused the rejection of that Constitution by North Carolina iu 1788. His home, " The Grove," near Hali fax, was not only the resort of the culti vated and refined, but the home of the homeless, Mrs. Jones having sometimes twenty orphan girls under her charge, ' and it was here the vonuer adventurer. John Paul, was first touched by those gentler and purer influences which not only changed his name but also himself from tho rough nnd reckless mariner into the polished man of society, who was tho companion of kings and the lion and poet of Parisian saloons. The al most worshiping love and roverence awakened iu his hitUorto wild ana uu tamed nature by the generous kindness of the brothers found expression in his adoption of their name. The truth of this acoount is not only attested by the descendants of Willie Jones, but by the nephew and represen tative of Paul Jones, Mr. Loudon, of Oharleetowu, S. C. This gentleman, in 1816, was iu Washington awaiting the passage of a bill by Cougress, awarding him the land claim of his distinguished uucle, Paul Jones, which had been al lowed by the executive of Virginia. Hon. E. W. Hubard, then a member of Con gress from Virginia, had ia 1844 pre pared a report on Virginia laud claims, in which the committee iudorsed that of Paul Jones. This naturally attracted Mr. London to him, and learning that Mrs. Hubard was a descendant of Willie Joues, he repealed to both Col. Hubard and herself the cause of his uncle's change of name, and added that among his pic tures hung a portrait of Allan Jones. Mr. London was a cultivated and highly intelligent gentleman, but iu exceeding ly delicate health, and the suspense aud auxiety of his long waiting on the actiou of Congress no doubt hastened his death, which occurred before he had re ceived the reward of the splendid genius which had made our arms as famous on sea as on land. He left one child, an in teresting little girl. But whut of the Sorapia of a hundred years ago? Let us see. The twenty third of September. 1779. round Flam- borough Head, swept into sight his ma jesty's man-of-war the Serapis. Newly built, thoroughly equipped, superbly manned, with a reputation for unrivaled speed, she moved majestically to the south with a fleet of forty sail aud a con voy. Awaiting tier was a battered ln- diaman, owned by the king of France. commanded by a mau whose hands had been tho first to raise our battle flag (a pine uucler winch coils a rattlesnake, with a reared head ready to ntrike, and the motto, " Don t tread on me ), who, in nis nrst urtiise ot sixteen weeks as captain, gained sixteen prizes ; who, afte.- weary delays in a ship "crank and slow," had crossed the ocean, and firing the shipping of Whitehaven made his name a terror to the British coast, and who now, still neglected by Con gress, owed his vessel to Louis and his small squadron to the efforts of Franklin, Of this squadron but two were with him. 0 these one put out to sea as soon as she had ascertained the force of the enemy, aud the movements of the other were vacillating and uncertain. But there was no uncertainty or hesi tancy on board Le Bon Homme Richard, where the men, fired by the dauntless courage and invincible spirit of their leader, made ready for battle. Night came on, and, glass in hand, Paul Jones watched the enemy gradually nearing in the Serapis, with the Countess of Scar borough in her wake. At last was heard the hail from the Serapis, but the reply being equivocal, a simultaneous broad side was delivered. At the first fire, two of the American guus bursting.blew up the deck, and all the heavy guns were deserted, f or an hour tlie cannon adiug was fast and territio ; then a lull, iu whieu the English captain called out Ha?e you struck colors?" to which rang out the cool, stern answer : have not yet begun to fight I" Shortly after the two ships came foul, and Paul Jones himself lashed the enemy s head gear to his mizzenmast, and the battle. raged. Once defeat seemed inevitable, when the Alliance approaching, whether through treachery or confusion it was never decided, opened fire, not on the Serapis, but her consort, Le Bon Homme Richard, and after a few death- dealing rounds retired. Still, when the morning broke, gray and chill, shoi her glory, stripped of her pride, shorn of glory. striDoed of her pride, over the bleak waves of the North sea drifted the Serapis, the prize of American prowess, and an eternal witness to the deathless fame of her victor. Europe was electrified with the wonderful news, and the fame of Paul Jones was at its height. At Versailles and Paris he was caressed and courted. Men and women, king and subjects, vied in their efforts to do him honor. From the princely hands of Louis XVI. he received a sword of gold, with the inscription: "Vindicati Maris, Lu doviens XVI., Remuuerator Streuno Vindici 1" from Franklin aud Washing ton letters of congratulation, and from Congress a vote of thanks nnd a gold medal. Yet this man's land claim was a subject of long debate, and nowhere has there appeared a comment on the coin cidence of a second Serapis this centen nial year. His subsequent career, when, his services ignored by his country, he wandered first to Russia, then to Fiance, eating bitter bread, broken-hearted, in his exile dying in poverty and want, is the record and tho shame of history. A Ruby of Great Value. A ruby, which was formorly in the possession of the Diamond Duke, Charles of Brunswick, has been sold to the em peror of Brazil for 85,000 franos. This gem, which is a ruby of rare value, had au interesting history before it fell into tho hands of the Duke of Brunswick. It belonged to a ceitain Portuguese, Duke Wnlicky, who appeared suddenly in St. Petersburg iu 1811, nnd exhibited a fabulous amount of wealth, his jewels and objects of veitu Rloue being valued at 14,000,000 rubles. How tho quasi duke came into possesaion of his riches has always been a riddle. He was the sou of a Letlbauer nobleman, and left his home iu the government of Grodno iu 1 793. For eighteen years he was dead to his friends. In 1811, however, aa before stated, he appeared m bt. Peters burg, and astonished every oue, even the court of the czar, with his riches aud costly possessions how and where they had been gained was never fully made clear. After the death of tho duke, who never married, a paper was found in his heritage, which said that his jew els aud riches were taken from the tent of a Bedouin chief, whom he hud tilled in a combat during a journey through Middle Africa. In the tent, besides other costly articles, was a chest filled with precious stones, valued at several millions. These treasures Duke Walicky brought to Portugal, there disposed of many of them, aud, after several suc cessful speculations, arrived in St. Pe tersburg. Further than this, nothing wiis ever known of the means by which this rare collection of jewels fouud their way to Europe. The one ruby, which is of great rarity and beauty, after passing through sev eral different hands, camo iuto posses sion of the Duke of Brunswick. After his death it was given, iu accordance with the bequest, to the city of Geneva; was sent from there to Paris, where the court jeweler of the emperor of Brazil purchased it. Now, perchance, it has found a permanent home, after the vari ous vicissitudes through which it has passed. Dynamite iu a Patent Ofllc. A pretty rich story comes from Vienna to the following effect: In the midst of the excitement consequent upon the Bremerhaven disaster the clerks in the department ot tho uainioti-y of Com merce, corresponding to our patent office, suddenly came upon four boxes which had lain unuoticed since 1574, the letters and specifications accompanying them not having beeu reached. J. he boxes were marked dynamite, and con tained, as was subsequently learned, samples of that explosive, for which a pateut was asked. The clerks of course were in a state of emotion, and tke boxes were sent to tho nearest polioo station with a request that they be thrown into the Danube, which request was com plied with. A police agent ou the op posite bank, however, witnessed the operation, aud feeling suspicions, fished for the boxes, finding two and carryiug tliem to the commissary of police, When tho word " dynamite " was found every one but the commissary took a sudden departure. Inn commissary evidently a cool haud, investigated the affair, sent to tho department of oom- morce for information, and soon got all the facts. The two missing boxes could m;t be found, aud as they may be washed ashore somewhere on the river nanus, warning has been sent to all the people living below Vienna. Chinese Economy. The Virginia City (Nev.) Enterprise tells this story of a psculiarity of the Chinese: Although the back of the donkey was piled high with wood, and although "John's" errand abroad was to Eell this wood as quickly as possible, his inborn frugality would not allow him to lose an opportunity of gathering in a little somethiusr in the way of olear gain. The prize that fell in the way of John and lus donkey was nothing more nor less than a large wilted carrot, thrown into the street from one of the markets. Which fouud it first, China man or donkey, we know not, but when we saw them both seemed equally inter ested iu the treasure trove. John stood patiently by holding the halter of his donkey, while the latter leisurely munch ed the carrot. For once tho donkey fouud pleasure iu what was busiuess with his master. It was a good illustra tion of Chineso character, that little scene in the street. John might miss a dozen chances to sell his load of wood, but he was bound to save that carrot. It was a bit of clear gain that he could not find it iu his soul to pass. Had any one called him we doubt if he would have crossed the street to sell his wood until his donkey had safely housed that car rot. Power of Pure Love. A very distinguished lawyer of Rich mond, Va,, who has passed tho meridian of life and has won renown as an orator and a jurist, was addressing a court re cently, and was in the midst of a bril liant argument when he saw his wife the idol of his heart er.ter the room. He at once became confused and con cluded with Borne abruptness. It was the first time his wife hud heard him speak. Fearful that he would not make a decidedly favorable impression upon her, he who had triumphantly faced judges, lunes. legislative assemblages, mass meotings. political conventions and the best of the literati, succumbed, and before one who in her love for him would have seen only the gems of his speech, and whose criticism would have been fullest rnrso. The first stage coach from New York to Boston started June 24, 1772, from the "Fresh Water." It was to leave each terminus once a fortnight, fare four pence per mile, and reached Hartford in two and Boston in four days. The proprietor promised a weekly stage " if engaged in their enterprise. ' How a Cobbler Made a Will. Many years ago the husband of an old lady living in England died without making his will, for the want of which necessary precaution his estate would have passed away from his widow, had she not resorted to the following expe dient to avert the loss of the property. She concealed the death of her hus band, and prevailed on an old cobbler, her neighbor, who was, in person, some what like the deceased, to go to bed at her house and personate him, in which character it was agreed that he should dictate a will, leaving tho widow the es tate in question. An attorney was sent for to draw up the writings. Tho widow, who, on his arrival, appeared in great affliction at her good man's danger, began to ask questions of her pretended husband, calculated to elicit the answers she ex pected and desired. The cobbler, groan ing aloud, and looking much like a per son going to give up the ghost as soon aa possible, feebly answered : " I intend to leavo you half of my estate, and I think tho poor old cobbler, who liven opposite, is deserving of tho other half, for ho has always been a good neigh bor." Tho widow was thunderstruck at receiving a reply so differont from that which she expected, but dare not nega tive tho cobbler's will, for fear of losing the whole of the property, while the old rogue in bed who wns tho poor old cobbler livint opposite laughed in his sleeve, and divided with her tho fruits of a project which tho widow had in tended for her solo benefit.

A man may drink moderately but steadily all his lifo, with no apparent harm to himself, but his daughters be come nervous wreci.s,hissous epileptics, libertines or drunkards, tho hereditary tendency to crime having its pathology and unvaried laws, precisely as scrofula, consumption, or any other purely physi cal disease Those are stale truths to medical men, but the majority of parents, even those of average intelligence, are either ignorant or wickedly regardless of them. Thoro will be a chance of rid ding our jails and almshouses of half their tenants when onr pcoplo are brought to treat drunkenness as a dis ease of the stomach and the blood as well as of the soul, to meet it with com mon sense and a physician, as well as with threats of eternal damnation, and to remove giu shops and gin Boilers for tho same reason that they would stag nant j.'onds or unclean sewers.
